our KENTUCKY RIVAL.

1t remains for the judgment of
Montana or Kentucky can play
politics The harder. Montana holds
the belt in the department devot-
I'd to the use of money in politics and the
coercion of bread-winners and the max
ing of affidavits to order. while Kentucky
has the lead on such crimes as murder
and the use of knives and g~unpowder as
political agents.
just now the situation in Kentucky Is
perhaps of more public interest Than ~
is in Montana. Governor Taylor. who IS
compelled to remain in ndian to pro.
tect himself from the democratic mob
which infests the capital of Kentucky,
accessory before the act to the murder
of his late rival Goebel. An effort is be-
ing mad to have Taylor surrendered by
the Indiana authorities. in default Of
which plans to kidnap him and carry
him over the line may be resorted to. n.
No doubt his return to Kentucky
would result in speedily railroading him
into the p~enitentiary. The Who'll miSerable
scheme has it's inception in the fear that
Taylor may go before the people of his
state for ~vindication at the polls, and be
reelected to the Office of which he was
robbed by as foul a bourbon plot as ever
disgraced the pages of history. If the
public can be made to believe that Tay-
or is a guilty man, and he Fan be plac-
ed behind the bars as a felon, his politi-
cal usefulness will be ended and his vim
dication out of the question. Hence; the
efforts put forth by the political thugs
of the Blue Grass state to accomplish his
downfall.
No one who has studied the Kentucky
situation from the inception of the fight
on Goebel can honestly question the leg
itimacy Of Taylor's election as governor,
nor will any really sane observer of
events believe hat Taylor was concern
ed in the death of his gubernatorial ri
val. The murder of Goebel was one of
the hardest blows which could have been
struck at Taylor's cause. and common
sense would have advised against it, re-
man. 1t is not to be assumed, for "a
moment that Taylor or any Iof his
friends would have jeopardized the inter
fests of the acting governor by participant
ing in the murder of the rufian who led
the democratic cause. Every fairly
formed presumption is against the con
~clusion tina Taylor had guilty know1-
edge of the crime. '".'s3 ~ ST r@.
But the death of Goebel gave the thugs
behind him an opportunity to run down
n duly elected governor of the state,
and place him in a position before the
people where he would be fearfully
handicapped in an effort to seek vindica-
ton before the people. 1t appears that
The judiciary of Kentucky is as rotten as
it's politics, and that moral ruin has
overwhelmed the people with degradation
and disgrace. Having outstripped Mon
tana in some directions, Kentucky can
impart lessons to the people of this state
which should be needed before it is too
late. At it's present pace it is only a.
question of time-if a halt be not called
upon the present political tendencies in
this state-when ever Kentucky will
blush when the name Of Montana is men,
toned.

There Is the general opinion among
oculists that the eye is much relieved
hv tbe general introduction OF type
written matter. A recent medical work
mon diseases of the eye gives great
many proofs in substantlation OF this
opinion.
The characters are so large ON the
KEYS that there is no appreciable strain
on the vision, and when dexterity Is at
tanned the eyes can scarcely be said to
he used at all. A vast strain Is taken
off the eye by writing with the type
writer instead Of the pen, but the ad-
vantages of reading the typewriter
matter are even more important from
medical point of view, and the strain
upon the hands Is also slight.
1t is said that a person can work fol
eight consecutive hours, with slight in
terruptions, without the hands being
conscious Of fatigue. In using the
typewriter the additional labor OF TO
cusing the eyes calls the muscles int
undue use, and the result Is that man!
defects Of vision which would no
probably be discovered under norma
conditions are brought to the 'front.'

Something over 100, 600 people in
Michigan, says "a contemporary, petit
toned the legislature for an equal tax
alton law. They wanted a change.
They got it, and now 100000 are kick
ing on the law and the assessing
officers. Somehow, every man wants
equal taxation-for his neighbor-and
when he is petitioning for more strin'
gent tax laws with dire penalties, he is
all the while thinking how it will cork
this man and that. The present law
vigorously enforced would drive half
the manufacturing out OF the state,
and it will certainly must eventually
result in raising interest rates. A
person can hardly loan money at and
6 per cent. and pay over 3 per cent
taxes. Last year and the year before
thousands of dollars were driven into
government bonds and other channel:
in other states and more is likely tt
follow.

THE PORTO RICO ACT.

The change in public sentiment re-
garding the Porto Rican act, now that
its principles and underlying motives
are understood, has been remarkable.
People who month ago were clamor-
ing for immediate free trade with Por-
to Rico says frankly now that the act
as passed is vastly better and for very
important reasons. To have es-
tablished immediate free trade with
Porto Rico would have taken away
the easiest method OF raising revenue
which that island must have, ana
which it could otherwise only have
had by an internal revenue act-a tax
which would have been extremely
burdensome-or by direct contribution
from the Treasury OF the United
States. This absolutely necessary
revenue will now be supplied from the
collections under the Porto Rican act
on all dutiabe goods imported into the
United States from Porto Rico, or into
Porto Rico from the United States.
III this system of raising money is un-
satisfactory to Porto Ricans, they can
put an end TO it within few months
If they desire, since the act authorizes
them to elect legislature and specih'
cally provides that all tariff between
the United States and Porto Rico shall
cease when that legislature shall pro
vide the necessary funds for sustaining
the government of Porto Rico. All
equally important result, however, o
the enactment Of this law, which re
tains mere shadow of tariff duties
between Porto Rico and the United
States, lies in the fact that the right Il
determine matters OF this character a
they are reached is retained by Con
gress, and thus no precedent is estab
lished by which anybody could claim, 20
the Democratic party can successiuil,
assert, that free trade with the Philip
pines or other possessions of that char
acter must or would logically follow
1t is only justice to the workingmen
the United States, whether on tn
farm, in the factory, the mines, o
elsewhere, that Congress should re
tain in its hand the absolute power t
determine these matters one by one

Paris has always been France. All
the great movements Of the country
have been centered here, whether po-
litical, religious, social, literary or ar
tistlc SO that any attempt to trace the
history of the city launches one imme-
diately into the study of the nation,
while an effort to master the history of
the French people sends one to Paris.
One realizes this particularly when he
comes to study the lives of her great
men and women. They may have been
born in the south or east or north OF
west, but to rise to the first rank they
were obliged to seek the capital. II

BOOM YOUR TOWN.
How To Make Business Good and Life

In the following manner, which would
be a good pattern for every man In
Bedding to copy.
ITO whom it may concern:
Ifthere is any chance to boom busl-
ness, boom it. Don't pull long face
and look as though you had sour
stomach. Hold up your head, smile
and look for better things Hide your
little hammer, and try to speak well OF
others, no matter how small you may
really know yourself to be. When a
stranger drops in, jolly him. Tell him
this is the greatest town on earth
and it is. Don't discourage him by
speaking i'll OF your neighbors. Lead
him TO believe he has at last struck a
place where white people live. Don't
knock.
Help yourself along by becoming
popular, and push your friends with
you. It's dead easy. BE good fellow
and soon you'll have a procession o
followers. No man ever helped him
self by knocking other people down II
character and business. No man evel
got rich by trying to make others be
lieve he was the only man in town, o.
the only man in town who knew any
thing. You can't climb the ladder o
success by treading on others corns
Keep off the corns and don't knock.
You're not the only. There ar
others, and they have brains an
know something as well as you
There's no end of fun minding you
own business. 1t makes other peopl
: like you. Nobody gets stuck on
knocker. Don't be one. /"

three OF them have been won by Mr..
Smith. The smallest plurality given a
candidate was in 1892, when George f.
Richardson won out by 10. The great
est plurality was in 1894, when William
Alden Smith won by 9,56S. The official

highways are and always have been
inferior to those of any other country
in the civilized old world. AS our
public roads are the veins and arteries

the consideration that their great i'm
