that is regarded as the length of gener-

GOV. BECKHAMS MESSAGE.
Asked the Legislature to Formulate
just Election law.


just Election Law.
Frankfort, Key, Aug. 2S.-The Kentucky
Legislature convened in extra session to-
day. Both houses adjourned after hear
ing read Gov Beckham's brief message,
which stated that the only purpose for
which the session was called was to
amend the state election law.
The message stated that the law was a
good one, but that party and factional
prejudice had been engendered against
it to such an extent that it was thought
best to make changes before another cleo
tion was held. The message concludes:
lima ginary Ills, whether physical or po-
litical, should be treated as well as real
ones. Your task in this matter is a diff
cult one. You cannot satisfy everybody.
l do not desire to suggest in detail any
law for your consideration. l have conf
Sence in your judgment and wisdom, and
| believe that you will earnestly and pa
triotically set to work to frame a law, in
appearance as well as in fact, SO fair and
SO just 90 all parties that no honest citi-
zen can find fault with it."
The Republican minority will wait for
the Democratic majority to take the ini
tiative. The Democrats held a caucus
tonight TO fill vacancies and consider
changes in the election law. There are
scores of election bills for caucus consid-
Grafton. 1t is the opinion here tonight
that a fair election law in the form of
an amendment to the Goebel law will be
passed. A vote on the repeal of the Goe-
bel law would be close, and it is believed
it would be lost

WILL CONFER ABOUT YARN.
Southern Cotton Mill Men Are Going
to Philadelphia.

Charlotte, n. c., Aug. 2S.-Dr. J. II. Nc
Alden, president of the Southern Cotton
spinners' Association, left tonight for
Philadelphia in company with a committee
consisting of George B. Hiss, Charlotte.
and Messrs. A. P. Rhyme, Mt. Holly; A.
c. Miller, Shelby; ]. P. Leak, Rocking
ham; w. c. Heath. Aononce, and r. S.
Reinhardt, Linconton.
They go TO Philadelphia in response to
a request of the commission men of that
city to confer as to the present condition
of the yarn market. Three of the commit
tee, Messrs. w. c. Heath, j. p. Leak and
r. s. Reinhardt. formed the special COM
mittee that was appointed 10 consult with
the Southern Yarn Spinuers relative TO
their cooperation under the new famous
selling agency plan, by which the South
ern spinners are expected TO sell their
yarn through their own commission
houses.
When several members of the commit
tee were questioned as to the object of
their visit they stated that they were
not quite sure as to what was expected
to be accomplished by the commission
men, "It is certain" said one of the com
mittee, that the commission men will
attempt to give us a logical reason for
the decline in the prices of yarn-a rea-
son that we are already familiar with.
The market is overstocked with yarn. that
is all. The commission men bought too
much yarn; they sold too much to the
weavers, who, in turn, sold too much to
the consumers. The demand for yarn is
lacking, and the weavers and consumers
cannot dispose Of the goods they have on
hand"
In spite of the expressed wish Of the
Southern manufacturers to establish their
own commission houses, they are on
friendly terms with the middle men; and
their conference with the commission peo-
pie, whether they effect compromise or
not, should result in a better understand
ing and industrial benefit to both.

powers vested in the general government

He asks, among other questions, whether
production, manufacture, transportation
and distribution are departmental, and
should especially in America. be regarded
as separat spheres of action? The query
is put:
rs there any sound difference between
trust and a corporation and how can
either be prevented from becoming mo-

WITH AND WITHOUT MAN.

A mere newspaper must necessarily APP
proach the complicated subject of women's
clubs with hesitation. but in response to an
inquiry concerning the difference in charac-
ter and standing of the two organizations,
the State Federation of Clubs, now holding
it's first session at South Bend, and the
Indiana Union of Literary Clubs, the Jour-
nal will make the matter plain TO the best
OF its ability. The union is an organization
which has been in existence for ten years
or more and includes in its membership
large number of the women's clubs of the
State as well as several clubs having
mixed membership and a few having only
men as members. The union has been very
harmonious and is said to have been sue
cessful in carrying out the purposes of
association, whatever they may be. Into
a discussion of the purposes and the utility
of such organizations the Journal does not
care to go; it undertakes only to state facts
as they have been presented to 1t. This
union. IL appears, was in existence before
the National Federation of Women's Clubs
the latter the union was invited to become
a part of it, but the inclusion of men in its
membership made it ineligible. and nothing
further was done, the union being entirely
satisfied with it's own position and willing,
under the circumstances, to remain out of
the federation. Leaders in the national
body, however, wished to have Indiana rep
resented, and at their suggestion steps were
taken TO organize State branch and sew
eral clubs not in the union accordingly
formed an Indiana Federation" It's men,
bership is comparatively small, and it is in
no wise so representative of the club move
ment in Indiana as is the union, but it
was recognized by the National Federation
at its Milwaukee meeting last summer and
is therefore representative of that body's
aims and policies. Resolved into its SIM
plest elements the trouble is not with the
woman, but, with the man in the case. One
organization has him and prefers TO keep
him: the other is without him and does not
want Theoretically speaking, that Is to
say. Under the circumstances it would seem
that all concerned ought to be happy. but
the Journal is informed, on what appears
to be good authority. that such is by no
means the fact

This sudden foretaste OF winter must

OF the unfortunates who are not prepared
for the cold and are unable TO provide
themselves with the necessities and COM

in particular call for pity. All such per-
sons have an opportunity to manifest
their sympathy in a practical way by

Call for the Twenty-Seventh Annual
Convention mt Washington.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13-Mrs. l.. NJ. n.
Sevens. president, and Mrs. s. NJ. d. Frye,
corresponding secretary, have issued the
following call for the national convention
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union:
1.-The National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union is hereby called TO meet in
its twenty-seventh annual convention at
Washington, ID. c., Nov. 80, to continue In
session until Dec. z. Last year we were the
guests of the far Western State of Wash
ington, suggestive Of the fact that our or
ganization had, in the first twenty-five
years of its existence, spread into every
State and Territory in the Union, and swept
across the great waters into almost every
civilized country in the world. Thls year
we are to be entertained In Washington.
d. c.. the central point or government
power in our great republic, and thus
typical of the SOLITARY achieved by our or
ganization and its consequent power for
good If rightly directed. 1t Is Significant
that Washington will mark the first mile
stone in our second quarter of century.
1.-The time as well as the place OF our
meeting Is significant 1t is the month of
presidential election and the week OF the
opening of a United States Congress. in both
of which we have intense interest, but. in
the words of Miss Wizards convention call
for 1895, we shall meet. not as political
party, but as those to whom politics seems
a sacred duty: not as financterS, and yet as
those profoundly interested in finance; not
as statesmen-but We trust as stateswomen
the women of a great nation. baptised
with mighty earnestness, endued with a
clear vision that enables us to see that.
whatever else the Nation and individuals
constituting that nation may need, the
primal note is applied Righteousness.
Already IL is known that large num-
Der of States have made a great gain of
500 or more members during the past year.
The activity of State officials. organizers
and other workers has never been sur
passed, and never have the hearts of the
White Ribbon women been more closely
good. They have learned to magnify, not
the size OF the giants or the lions by the
way. but the greatness and the goodness of
the Father OF us all.
1--WE ask universal observance of the day
of prayer. Friday. Nov. 30, TO the end that
we may have a pillar OF cloud by day and
a pillar OF fire by night, not only at the
convention but during the entire year"
