Referring to the trouble In Ken
lucky, the st. Louis Globe Democrat
says: AN impression widely prevails
in the state and outside Of it. that
an attempt is on foot to deprive its
citizens of fair elections, to take
away the right to choose their true
representatives at the ballot box.
Goebel has headed this movement and
has been pressing it steadily TO con.
summation through The legislature.
He is the recognized leader in this
plan through all successive stages
from the conventi that divided his
own party 10 the proceedings or the
present boards Of contest, and the
recent daily transfer os legislative
credentials from the opposite party
to his own The tendency In more
than one southern state for years has
been along the lines that might
mates right" and in Kentucky par
tfcularly this idea is strongly rooted.
It'll to be hoped the day Is not fal
di stant when the sober minded, hon
est and honorable element will be IL

A meeting OF leading paper manu-
facturers was held 10 Chicago last
week. The prices on paper, envel-
opes, etc., are way up In the air, Ia
some cases double what they were
six months ago. The Inter Ocean In
its report OF the meeting says: @Not
for twenty years has such a serious
condition confronted the .manufac-
turers OF paper, and there Is great
danger that we may be forced To
close our mills for lack OF material,
said A. ID. Shaffer, OF the Hartford
City Paper Company, who presided
over the meeting. various causes
are responsible for this condition.
The principal one is that wood pulp
from which the lower grades of paper
Is manufactured, Is so hard to get
that there Is a constant scramble for
material. Recent inquiry OF the
pulp mills at Sault st. Marie, the
largest pulp mills in the world, de-
velopes the fact, that there Is not a
pound for sale there, aud other mills
are as hard pressed"

There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chambcrlain's Cough
Remedy. Its pleasant taste and
prompt and efrectual curei make it a
favorite with mothers and small chill
dren. 1t quickly cures their coughs
and colds, preventing pneumonia OF
other serious consequences. 1t also
cures Group and has been used in tens
of thousands of cases without a sim
gle failure so far as we have been
able to learn. 1t not only cures Group
but when given as soon as the crOupy
csugh appears, will prevent the at

that disease of all dangerous con-
sequences. For sale by l.. Fournier.

invaluable information ON stor ms,

This superb book would sell any
where for fifty cents, but 1t costs
only 25c copy, and every subscriber
to Rev. Irl II. Hicks now famous
paper, Words and Works, at S1.O0 a
year, receives this elegant Almanac
as premium. Words aud Works Is
a recOg nized leader among the best

nothing Of its kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dol

unique and useful publications. Pro

A boy in the Wichita schools has
been suspended for reading the fol-
lowing essay on pants: "Pants are
made for men, not men for pants.
Women are made for men and not
for pants. When man pants for a
woman and woman pants for a man,
they are pair OF pants Such pants
don't last. Pants are like molasses;
they are thinner 10 hot weather aud
thicker In cold. The man in the
moon changes his pants during the
eclipse. Don't you go to the pantry
for pants, you might be mistaken.
Men are often mistaken in pants.
Such mistakes make breeches OF
promise. There has been much dis.
cussion as to whether pants Is singu-
lar or plural. Seems to us when men
wear pants they are plural, and when
they don't wear any pants it is sim
gular. Men 20 on a tear in their
pants, and 1t Is all right; but when
the pants 60 on a tear 1t is all wrong.

A BAY City Tribune reporter has
the following on an interview with tay
Commissioner Oakmau: Everywhere
through jut the state they have found
vast quantities OF untaxed personal
property, and surprising amount OF
property assessed way below its &C.
tual value. The work OF the tai
commission will oren the eyes of the
people OF Michigan. The law Great
ing that commission is one OF the
best laws ever placed upon the Mich.
, igan statutes. The results will
speak for themselves. When the tax
rolls arc made out this year at least
$50, 100000 worth Of property that
is not paying a cent of tax at the
present time will be honestly assess
ell. ! think that $3.50, 900, 900 is a
very conservatlv estimate. 1t would
not surprise me IL we we're able to
discover 5000, 900. 900 worth OF I'm.
taxed property before we finish our
rounds. The report we shall make

tion."

POINTS OUT THE WAY.

Carl Schurz, in declaring his intention
of supporting the Democratic nominee
for President, points out the way to
large numbers OF Republicans and Dem
Ocrats who still harbor toward Bryan
the sentiments which led them to oppose
his election in 1896
If IT We're even true he says, that
Mr.. Bryan would lead us into an inter-
nal revolution If elected, it would not
be nearly as serious or dangerous a
revolution as that into which the policy
Of Imperialism is sure 90 lead u.s.
There is no apprehension that such a
contingency as an internal revolution
could result from the election of Bryan.
The men who opposed Bryan most Wig
orously in 1896 must now see that In
Mckinley's administration they have
had for four years policy which IL
continued would surely work serious
harm to the Republic and destroy the
reputation it has been erecting among
