"\HE DECISION of former Gov
ernor Taylor, of Kentucky,
Il not to be a candidate for re-
election clears the field for
an aggressive Republican campaign in
the Blue Grass state. For Mr. Taylor
there will be widespread sympathy.
Not physically a robust man and not
by temperament one of the kind of men
who dominate exciting epochs, he was
poorly cast for the part which destiny
put upon him. The outragcs aimed at
him by the revolutionists in control of
the Democratic machinery undermined
his nerve and health, broke him in
purse and spirit, and left him an exile.
He is not now in condition to undergo
the stress of the fight ahead of the
man who shall undertake to see justice
vindicated in his native state.
The Republicans need a fighter at
the front; one VINO is not afraid 10
face the enemy boldly and checkmate
him at every turn. Such a leader If
he can be found, can not only be elect
Cd governor next fall and carry the
state for Mckinley but he can also
establish himself and his party in the
aGcendancy for many years to come.
The announcement of the candid1cy
OF John w. Yerkee, of Danville, pres
eat national committeeman of Ken
lucky and the internal revenue coll
lector for the Lexington district, M
dcatcs that the man for the oppor-
tunity is at hand. Mr.. Yerkes is
physically, intellectually and financial
ly strong, and his nomination would
carry enthusiasm and hope into every
Republican household.

TRADE WITH THE TROPICS.

The people Of the United States are paying
a million dollars day for tropical products used
in manufacturing or food and drink, and most
of which are produced in greater or less de-
gree or can be readily produced in the islands
which have come into closer rela ,.onShip with
the United States through the events OF the
past two years The April summary OF COM
merce and finance which has Just been issued by
the treasury bureau of statistics, shows that in
the ten months ending with April our imports
OF tropical products have been over $500 900
in value thus averaging fully million dollars
n day and indicating that for the full year
they will reach 1866 100000.
India rubber fibers, raw silk, cotton, gums,
cabinet woods indigo, ivory, dye woods and
certain lines OF chemicals make up the share
Of this vast sum which the manufacturers of
the United States take and require in con-
stantly increasing quantities. The importation
of raw materials for in manufacturing has
incraased steadily and now forms more than
one third of our total imports, and the large
proportion Of this comes from the tropics. OF
India rubber alone the imports of the ten
months amount to more than S27OOOOOO; OF
fbers to S2O,000,O 900; Of manufactured silk,
$40 900 600; of cotton, over 1000, 900; of gums,
more than s5,0O0,0OO, while cabinet woods, dye
woods, indigo and ivory also aggregate several
millions
OF the constantly increasing proportion Of inn

tropics is vastly greater in the past year than

ANNALS OF TIE ARGUS.

The present issue of tLe ARGUS completes its 9th year of journalistic life. At such times it is customary to give short history of the papers life; of its foundation, it's growth, and of it's party principles. Follow ing this time honored custom we shall do the like for the HoLBRooK ARGUS.
 In October, 1895, Mir. A. F. Banta, hen residing at St. Johns, decided to start newspaper at that place, and one that would oppose politi- calIy the Herald. To this end he purchased complete outfit for publishing a country weekly. The material was shipped by rail to Hol- brook and thence by wagons to St. Johns, Subsequently, and with much trepidatiCn and haste, the Herald people concluded it were better to pay he piper his fee and have the outfit moved back to Hol- brook, the county seat of the new county of Navajo, and it was so ordered.
 On the 12th of December, 1895, the ARGUS made it's initial bow to the public at Holbrook and from that date to the present time it has never failed to appear at weekly intervals.
 Sometime prior to the first issue of the ARGUS it's proprietor gave mo- tice of the forthcoming event and modestly asked the public to suggest Ia fitting name for the paper. Many and numerous were the names sug- gested and from the lot the one ARGUS, by Miss Bessie Allen, of Maryland, was adopted, and which still heads the paper.
 Late in the summer of 1896 the founder of the ARGUS received a very satisfactory offer for the plant and accordingly it was sold to J. E DeRosear. He had possession fol about six months when he sold il to c. o. Anderson, the present editor and proprietor of the Willco2 Range News, who continued the publication until May 1st of thi. year when the present proprietor took charge.
 The ARGUS has always been iron its initial number down to tht present issue, a consistent republi can newspaper, and so long as thu present proprietor shall continue a the helm, the AEGUs will continu as it has in the past to advocate tn principles of that great party O progress and prosperity-the repub lican party.
 To sum up; people make tn . paper, not the paper people. I other words, paper is reflex O the community in which it is put lished, and a generous supper always insures a good paper.

An editor prints his paper to give his patrons the news of the day and for inc money there is in it. He is presumed to know of what be writes, and he generally does. When he writes as he does in the Leader, Osceola Mills, Pa, without fee or hope of reward, that "Chamberlains Cough Remedy acts magically, and we have found none better in our household If you have a cough, try it," it may be accepted as an honest expression, worthy of cred ence.
