 kinsviIIe, Ky.

Hopkinsville, Ky, June -Ex-Council- man J. W. Ware shot Rev. Dr. w. F. Pi- ner, the pastor of the Methodist church, and one of the head members of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, while the latter was making a pastoral call on Mrs. Ware at the residence of the former to- day. Ware entered the parlor and fired at the minister without warning.
 pr. Piner threw him to the floor and dis armed him. Ware was arrested and re- leased on $1,OO0 bond. It is stated that un- warranted jealousy on Wares part was at the bottom of the shooting.
 Neither will make a statement previous to the trial, which is set for Friday.
 Piner received scalp wound, which is very painful, but not serious. Had the ball passed fraction of an inch lower the pastor would have been instantly killed.

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY.
Delegate TO Congress.

THE MAIL is sorry to see such
a bitter fight between the fol
lowers of Col. Wilson and Mark
Smith for the nomination for
delegate to congress. While
The MAIL favors Col. Wilson for
the nomination it has not a
word to say against Mr.. Smith.
Both are men of ability. Both
are sound democrats. Either
would fill the position with
honor to himself and credit to
the territory. But Col. Wilson
has introduced some meritorious
measures which he should be
given an opportunity to urge at
the coming session of congress.
He says he has the promise of
enough votes in the house to
pass the statehood bill. State
hood is what the territory needs
and wants, There are many
other bills of his, which are
needed almost as badly as the
statehood bill and which would
be of incalcuable benefit to the
territory.
There is no question but Col.
Wilson has proven one Of the
most Industrious representa-
tives Arizona has ever sent to
Washington. Return him an
another two years and he will
be able to do a great deal for
his constituents. He has proven
himself honest He has proven
himself Industrious. He has
demonstrated to the satisfaction
OF his friends and to the discom-
torture of his enemies; that he
wears the collar of no corpor-
alton, but is the friend of the
people. He deserves, and
should receive, a denomination
at the hands Of his party.

The statement made by re-
publican newspapers that the
Beers have forwarded So, 900, 900
and Aguinaldo $5.000,000 to aid
in the election of Bryan, shows
what unscroupulous lies that
party will resort to accomplish
their ends. The Beers have a
use for all the money they can
raise at home, and to suppose
that Aguinaldo and his follow
ers have s., 100000 to contrib
ute to a campaign in a foreign
country is too preposterous for
even the most credulous to take
any stock in.

The time is drawing near for
the voters and taxpayers of
Navajo county to place men in
the field to assist in making
laws to govern the territory,
and in enforcing the law as it
is found on our statutes. Sep
tember 1st has been named as
the day on which the democrats
of Navajo will name their
standard bearers for their local
campaign. Every man who is
selected as delegate to that
convention should lay aside all
personal feeling and try to nom
mate none but good men for the
offices. Men who can command
the respect and confidence Of
the people. This should be
done without regard to locality.
Our county is financially en-
barressed. We want men who
are eminently business men,
particularly for supervisors.
Men who have managed their
own affairs successfully can be
trusted to manage the affairs of
the county. We trust the dele
gates will act with Judgment in
a spirit of fairness and impair
tiality to every section of the
county. There should be no
chickering's, no jealousy, but
every one should strive to place
none but good men in nomina-
tion.

Where is that Prosperity Yawp?

Not very long ago the repub-
licans were all shouting in Choir
US that prosperity was the one
battle cry, the one plank in the
platform, the one thing which
would carry Mckinley into the
White House for a second term
by a practically unanimous vote.
The sole direction to the spell
binders was to harp incessantly
upon the prosperity string.
What has come DER the spirit
of their dream? For some reason
we are hearing very little about
prosperity from republican
quarters these days, What
means it? Do the republican
managers, who are at once the
body and soul Of the trusts, see
signs that prosperity may not
be a thing to brag of before the
campaign is old?
So it may be- They stood
ready to take all the credit if
the crops should prove to be
good. But it looks now as
though there might not be any
thing to brag of on that score.
In other respects prosperity
seems to be less promising as a
republican issue.
The bank clearings last week
were 1872 per cent less than they
were the corresponding week
last year.
The number of business fail
ures is increasing, and the IL
abilities of failed concerns are
increasing still more.
The commercial agencies re
port that the "vast iron indus
try" has been thrown from un-
precedeuted activity into great
depression, with many works
closed and prices reduced a
quarter" while cotton and
woolen mills are closing and
production is being restricted
in various other branches.
This is no matter for rejoicing
in any quarter, and attention is
called to it only for the purpose
of accounting for the sudden
suspension of the prosperity
yawp on the part Of republican
bosses and organs. The Chi
cago Chronicle.

M0have county voters are Tor
Wilson for the reason that he is
the only man that has gone to
congress from Arizona thatever
remembered that there was such
a county as Mohave after he got
what he wanted; they are for
him because there is railroad
that traverses this county over
100 miles that is exempt from
taxation under existing laws and
he is the first delegate to intro
duce a bill in congress whereby
the railroad will be amendable
to taxation. This bill is being
tavorab1y considered and the
result will be about $19,00 per
wear for Mohave county ana
large amounts for the counties
of Coconino, Navajo and
Apache. All parties should be
for Wilson in the northern tier
counties and democracy should
renominate him by acclamation
as he stands squarely or the

The people in Salt river val

to stamp out the stock industry
IN northern Arizona, for the
reason that stock grazing on the
Little Colorado watershed,

droughts they say and Injuries
their water supply. There is
no doubt in their minds that
few cattle and sheep grazing in

The national democracy, says
the Boston Post, takes it's stand
squarely upon the Declaration
of independence and the consti-
tuition, framed in conformity
with that great instrument.
The platform carries at its head
the reaffirmation of these doc
trines. The democracy holds
that the constitution follows
the flag, and that neither presi-
dent or congress can exercise
authority beyond or in violation
of the law, which gives them
existence or prescrlbes their
powers. The democracy holds
that all governments derive
their just powers from the con-
sent OF the governed, and that
the denial Of this doctrine in the
case of Porto Rico is a dishonor
to the American people. AS
for the Philippines, since we can
not take their people into citi-
zenship without endangering'
our civilization, or hold them as
subjects without imperiling our
form of government, our duty is
to give them independence and
protection under stable rule OF
their own.

BABIES IN PRISONS.
The Innocent Little Strangers Are
TenderIy Regarded by WOm-
en- COnvicts.

Very few people outside official cir
cles know what a large number of ba-
bies are born every year in the mfr
maries of prisons and penitentiaries,
the little people always causing quite
futter of attentiveness and excitement
among female warders and prisoners
alike, says Philadelphia exchange.
The general body of the women pris-
oners make the most pathetic efforts,
by means of all manner of trifling
scraps and odds and ends, to fabricate
articles of wear and ornament for the
out of place little stranger.
Quite three-fourths of the womenvol-
unteer to tend it, and it is often the
case that the most refractory and diff
cult of the prisoners soften and greatly
alter by being allowed to do little things
for it; indeed, it acts throughout like a
veritable ray of sunshine among the
whole of the poor prisoners, who gen.
orally manage TO get themselves into
great good humor by suggesting as vol
ubly as the prison rules will per-
nit fantastic names for the child. With
in certain period of their birth these
children are taken away from the mother
and are tended elsewhere with the ut
most care and humanity.

GREAT POSSIBILITIES.
The Chinese Empire Is Regarded as
the Worlds Industrial
klOndike.

Ten years of railroad building ought
to bring at least half of China's popula-
ton within reach of our cotton goods,
and that, without any increase in the
per capita use (only one dollar) of our
cotton goods, would amount to $500, 1000
900, or more than the total surplus of
cotton now raised by us for export,
says Leslie's Weekly. China lies largely
in the zone of severe winters, and while
it has the greatest deposits of coal the
Chinese have never yet solved the prob
lem of building heating stoves. The in
PRODUCTION Of cheap American heaters
into $4,000, 900 Chinese homes is one of
the possibilities which lie before our
manufacturers.
The Chinese are nation living in
brick houses in land without brick
making machine. Thousands of walled
cities, millions of homes, all built Of
brick, and every brick made by hand.
These bricks are made by labor cost
ing but ten cents per day, still they cost
more than our machine brick made with
labor costing twenty-five times as much.
Brick made by American machines with
Chinese labor will command The mar
ket.

SNAKES AS HOG FATTENER.
West Virginia Farmers Make Use OF
the Reptiles That Overrun
Their Lands.

SNAKES as food for hogs beat chest
nuts, acorns or any of the fancy food
stuffs," says Mr.. Henry Arbuthnot, in
the Washington Post. "Of course, you
know that in some parts of Europe pigs
have killed out the vipers. was in
West Virginia some months ago and
found there a novel industry had been
undertaken by number of men whose
lands were overrun by the small va
riety of snakes that infest that section.
The snakes were so numerous as to be a
nuisance. One farmer tried the hog as
an exterminator. He succeeded so well
that he found the drove of animals he
had turned loose on the plantation had
not only decreased the number OF
snakes, but that they were actually
thriving on them. He told his neigh
bors about it, and now the whole val
ley is one large hog pen, in which hun
dreds of the animals are feeding LITERAL
ly on snakes. Formerly no one would
buy land there, notwithstanding the
beauty of the place, because of the
snakes, but now that the remedy has
been found, and at the same time big
money is made on the pigs that grow
fat on snake food, the land is destined
to be in great demand, as it is the most
fertile land in West Virginia. This may
sound like fairy snake tale, but as
sure you that it is correct, and that hun
dreds of pigs are sold from that valley
every year that have literally become
fat on snakes"
