KENTUCKY ELECTION,
Republican State Chairman Sees
 Hope in the Result.

Louisville, Ky, November 12-After a meeting of the Republican Campaign Com mittee today Chairman Leslie Combs gave out statement, in which, after reiterating his charges of wholesale fraud on the part of the Democrats, he said the result of the election, when thoughtfully considered, is full of hope and without Encouragement AS long as we can show substantial growth of strength in behalf of the great principles for which we are contending we may look forward with abiding faith in the power of the people to govern them selves In the contest which is just over there was no large silent vote which has to be figured upon, for the future, and there was no third ticket with large vote, whose action must be taken into consideration, but an open, face to face conflict. With a full expression of the entire vote in the State our plurality in Kentucky is estab- lished.
 There will be no contest over the guber- material vote. There is no tribunal to which we can appeal with any hope of an im- partial hearing
 Tt is not within the province of this com mittees to decide for the party or Congress- ional candidates which is advisable with regard to contests for the electoral vote or Congressional seats."

THE MOoN-BABY.

From the Pail Mall Gazette. There's a beautiful golden cradle, That rocks in the rose-red sky; I have seen it there in the evening air Where the bats and beetles fly; With little white clouds for curtains, And pillows of feecy wool, And a dear little bed for the moon-baby's
 head,
 So tiny and beautiful. There are tender young stars around 1t, That wait for their bath of dew, In the purple tints that the suns warm
 prints
 Have left on the mountain blue. There are good little gentle planets, That want to be nursed and kissed, And laid to sleep in the ocean deep Under silvery folds of mist But the moon-baby first must slumber, For he Is their proud young king; So, hand in hand round his bed they stand, And lullabies low they sing. And the beautiful golden cradle Is rocked by the winds that stray, With pinions soft. from the halls aloft, Where the moon-baby lives today.

No More Top Crop.

Three heavy successive frosts have cer- tainly ruined all bolls that were not at least partly matured. Partly matured bolls may be induced by frost to crack open and yield some cotton that can be utilized; but wholly immature bolls were certainly ruined by such killing frosts as we have experienced. These frosts were as wide spread as the cotton belt itself, unless portions of the empire of Texas es- capped their vigor which is doubtful in deed
 This puts an end to all top crop inn aginings. Some have put the top crop of late season at a million bales, but all such vain conceits have been abolished by the three frosts. The spinners can no longer use an indefinite and very vague top crop in crowding down prices. All know now that the growth of the crop is at an end' and that no additions can be made to its much discussed but chiefly fabulous top part. Many samples of the top crop says the Augusta Chronicle, "were brought to the city yesterday, and in some cases the effect had been disastrous to the oolis' Inside they were complete mush, which must certainly result in rottenness.' The top bolls are in state Of mush' ana so are the spirners' yarns concerning them

General Assembly Meets Today.

No Legislature in this State ever had a more far-reaching mandate than the one bears that will meet today. For in every district the holding of a constitutional con- vention and ballot reform were issues, and the majority carry to Montgomery instruc- tions that no one need misunderstood The State plainly voted in August in favor of the holding of a constitutional convention, or rather in favor of submitting the propo- sition to the people for direct vote. This mandate was almost as plain as was the mandate to re-elect the States honored Senator to the seat that he so nobly fills
 When these two mandates are carried out the chief special work of the Legisla- ture will be accomplished. Appropriations and local bills will fill up the rest of the session, with 6 dash or two perhaps of dis pensary and back-tax legislation. General legislation is scarcely wise while a consti- session may therefore be largely summed up in its action upon the convention prop osition. But that proposition is large enough and important enough to render it a historical Legislature, especially if the grand outcome be an honest ballot and a good working constitution that will not cripple enterprise or public education or sanitary improvements

HANNA TALKS.
He Dsucsses the Coming Session of
 Congress.

Cleveland, Ohio, November 12.-Senator Hanna has returned here after brief visit to New York. He expects to remain in this city until Congress convenes. In discussing the coming session of that body, MT. Hanna said:
 Congress this year will have some very important duties to perform. Three great bills, the Nicaraguan canal bill, the army bill and the ship subsidy bill, are all to come before it. The Nicaragua commission will make its report early in the session and the debate in the Senate will probably begin early.
 "I presume there will be changes of some importance in the bill. It is reasonable to suppose that lapse of several months made difference of the sentiment of the people and change in its main features will be the natural result. The Costa Rican treaty, especially involved us in consider able difficulty with Costa Rica, had to be consulted with"
 When asked with what measures he would most interest himself during the session, Senator Hanna said: q have no pet meas ures this year and shall take no particular interest in any bills before Congress. Per haps I am as much interested in Senator Frye's ship subsidy bill as in any.

Convictinu LynChers.

Out in Texas some men hung two white men who were believed to have stolen some horses. although they were reputable farm CTS. The lynchers, five or six in number were finally rounded up; one of their num- Der turned States evidence, and the others were convicted, and sentenced to the peni- tentiary for long terms.
 At Lake Charles, in Louisiana, a deputy sheriff who was guarding jail in which q negro was confined charged with the customary nameless crime, was killed, and inc two men who killed him were arrested, were tried, and, strange to relate, were con- victed and were sentenced to the peniten- tiary for life. As it was case of murder under outrageous law-defying clrcum- stances. it Is difficult to see why the two men were not sentenced to be hung.
 But the movement long expected against lynching, which is lawlessness in its most aggravated form, being nothing else than temporary revolution, must have its modest beginnings. When lynchers ca be seized and tried and convicted in Louisiana and Texas, there does not seem to be any req son why they may not be in Alabama or Georgia or any other State. good round up of lynchers would be the most whole some lesson that any State could receive; and all that 1t needed to secure such les son is courage in the officials of a State from the Governor down. Conniving off, cials are the saddest and most dishearten- ing features of lynchings, and they are really the ones who are most to blame. They render lynchings easy and riotous pastimes that lend relief to the dullness of country life A courageous official or two could turn the pastime into something very serious, and the cases in Louisiana and Texas afford the hope that we may all live to see revival of courage in official circles

M'KINLEY AND BRYAN.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch
 The pleasant exchange of personal good wishes between MT. Bryan and President Mckinley after the election is a relief from the aceribty of politics.
 As in 1896 the defeated candidate wired his congratulations to MT. Mckinley, who replied in the most cordial terms
 Such exchanges are not usual. Perhaps Senator Foraker's telegram to MT. Camp bell Is the only precedent. Tn the light or Foraker's aggressive partisanship and posi- tive personal character it was a surprise.

poWIE,s MopEsTY

From the London Echo.
 John Alexander Dowie (says MT. Dowie, in his paper The Coming City), although born In Edinburg, is a lineal descendant of the rugged sturdy men and women whose untiring energy courage and strength wrested sustenance from the rocky high lands of Aberdeenshire, in the neighborhood and upon the slopes of Ben Mac Cor Muich) Dhui. His family name, Dowie, has been changed and shortened, through the years from its original Highland form, MacDhui. The rugged strength of character, the in- domitable will, the fearless courage, the calm faith in God, the intense love of true liberty and justice, and the great physical and mental endurance which marked his forefathers, have also come down to him.

THE RAsELEss QUAY CLAIM.

From the Philadelphia North American
 The mathematicians of the machine are still putting forth their tables of Legisla- tors-elect The day after election these tables showed a large majority for Quay; the day following the majority fell, and now it has all but disappeared The first estimate was 15O for Quay; now it is down to 132, or just four more than majority and in this list appear the names of more than twenty men who will not go into MT. Quay's caucus.
 The newspaper organs that drudge for the machine still proclaim Quay victor. But they know better, and so does he.

years as solicitor giving him peculiarly strong qualifications for presiding over criminal court So when the new criminal court for Jefferson County shall have been established Mir Fergusons friends will most likely ask the Legislature to elect him judge There could not be truer, better or more capable man than MT. Fer guson elevated to the bench
 
 It is understood that MT. Ed Warner is about to resign the secretaryship of the Birmingham Railway and Electric Com pany and return to Nashville. The i'm pression is that he will make the change about the 1st of December, and that he will do so for more advantageous business reasons of personal nature. He may go abroad for a time. MT. Warmers departure from Birmingham will cause great regret here, for during his stay in this city he has won the highest esteem and friendliest good wishes Of all classes of the community. To the closer personal friends whom he has won he has endeared himself most strongly; and to those his going away is real depriva- tion that will long be felt Birmingham has known no young man of higher or manlier qualities than those so notably possessed by MT Warner.
 Secretary Conway of the State Republi- can Executive Committee came from Huntsville to Birmingham yesterday, and was in consultation with his party leaders concerning political matters. The question uppermost with them now is the filling of the vacant customs colectorship of Mobile. MT. Conway, who had thought of apply ing, declared last night that he would not be an applicant but exprssed the opinion that Former United States Marshal Ben w. Walker of Montgomery would be ap- pointed. Hon. Frank H. Lathrop is 'in the hands of his friends" respecting the much desired office, and doubtless he would be pleased to accept the appointment from President Mckinley. MT. Lathrop went to Montgomery yesterday afternoon, possibly with view to further investigate the situ- alton as to the collectorship.
 
 Vanished days in Birmingham society and life are recalled by the announcement of the death of MT. Walter c. Robertson, which occurred in Columbia, s. C., last Wednesday. MT. Robertson who was 37 years old, died at the home of his brother Dr. T. c. Robertson, in Columbia He dwelt for several years in Birmingham, leaving here in 1898 for his old home in South Carolina. He was a prominent club man and popular in the society of this city, and everybody was his friend His polished manners and unfailing courtesy made him welcome everywhere in social life, and he was ever generously good-natured He termed many warm personal attachments In Birmingham, and his death will be much regretted MT. Robertson's health failed three years ago, and he quickly became very i'll. His strength he never recovered. MT. Morton Kirke Moore, who is in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, submitted to a surgical operation for relief from appen- dIcitis on Sunday, and telegraphic reports from his bedside are to the effect that he stood the operation remarkably well, and there is good promise of his recovery Dr. Lupton of Birmingham was with MT. Moore and assisted in the operation He will be at home today.

It postponed action. fearing ef- fleets upon the election, of army inerease: but now Senator Proctor, of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, and Presi- dent Mckinley are hobnobbing together over bill to provide for a regular army of great strength My own opinion is,' says Senator Proctor, after repeated ferences with the President, that Congress will provide 8 regular army of about 55,0OO or 60, 0,O0O men, with discretion of the Presi- dent to raise the total to 100000 if he finds the larger number necessary This simply means a regular army 100000 strong, and the discretionary step will deceive no one. All that has been charged against the ad- ministration in connection with a large standing army will come true The trusts need one in their business, and what they want goes with this administration. Sena- tor Proctor simply announces what has long been promised and which must now be provided. The people pay the freight.

Hhe Rossija declares that the ostrich policy Twill be ruinous, for Russia will gain her demands by independent action."
 The Novosti discovers in the speech in- dications of a future conflict between Great Britain and France and asserts that they owe it to themselves and Europe to pre- pare accordingly.
 The Novoe Vremya thinks that Lord Sal isbury did not describe Great Britain weakness resulting from the South African war in sufficiently strong terms
