The startling announcement i
made that there is rottenncss and
corruption in the city post office at
Washington. 1T is alleged to bc
honey-combed with corruption and
fraud, and this is not in Cuba, either.
This is Rcpublicanism with q ven
geancc, and shows that the RepubIi-
can party can edo things" No tell
ing what all it has done since 1t has
had its finger in the pie. No wonder
an effort was made to hush up tina;
affair il Cuba, it was treading on u
penensular that it only required :"
step to clear the Intervening space
and land Investigation at home. Let
there be no hush up business, and
though 1t cause stencil past cLdur-
arce, stir up this rottenness, turn on
the search-lght and kick the rascal*
out, both at home and abroad.

The firm Of Price Il Mccormick,
who were so influential in causing II
large number Of farmers to hold back
their cotton the past season until!
they realized profit of several dol
lars bale, have failed for $13, ,OO0,-
900, causing the heaviest shock to
the stock exchange in years. They
did the cotton grower much good but
like most people who dabble in
futures, they did not seem to know
when to hold up. 1t was leaned
that they were long OF cotton on a
falling market and the bears COM
bined and rushed them to ruin. We
sympathize with them and will not
hesitate to praise them for the good
they did.

lowing ticket: Col. james a. Jioyt,
Of Greenville, for Governor and Mr.,
j. A. Tribble, Of Anderson, for Lit.

The following is the platform adop-

81. That competency, honesty and

.. That taxes should be made as
low rs possible consistent with et!ic;-
ency Of government.
3. That the sale OF Intoxicating

grace to Christian civilization, dis
honor to manhood and Il political
wrong Of unparalleled cnormity; that
it is an awful crime against the
women and children, against th"
home, against the church ana againSl
God.
1. That prohibition o: the sale o!
Intoxicating liquors for beverages puc-
poses is the true, consistent remedy,
and to this end we demand that tn"

evils, such rs selling intoXicaNtS rs Il

TAYLOR MUST GO
United States Supreme Court
Dismisses Kentucky's Gov
ernorship Case.
Result of This Action Affirms
the Decision Of the Ken
lucky Courts.
Outcome of the Legal Contest
Celebrated by Democrats
IS of Frankfort.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The United
States supreme court has decided the
Kentucky governorship case in favor of
Governor Beckham, dismissing the
writ of error from the Kentucky court
of appeals. The opinion was handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller and q
vigorous dissenting opinion was deliv-
cred by Justice Harlan. Justices Brew
or, Brown and McKenna also dissented
from portions of the opinion.
The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller and the case was
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. He
said the court should be the last to over
step the bounds limiting it's own juris-
diction, and that the determination of
cases Of this character, contests for
state offices, must necessarily be settled
by the political branch of the govern
ment. That branch had acted in the
Kentucky cases when the general as
sembly took jurisdiction. There was
no appeal from the assembly's decision
which was favorable to Goebel and
Beckham, except to the tribunal of the
people, which tribunal the chief justice
said was always in session. He also
said the case was purely state case
that Kentucky was in the full possession
OF its faculties as member Of the
Union, and that there was no emergency
at this time calling for interference.
The opinion in the Kentucky case was
not unanimous, Justices Brewer, Har.
Ian, Brown and McKenna dissenting.

When the remainder had arrived and
halted so that the entire army was as

so as to encircle the base Of the mound.

He Couldn't Solve It.

As train was approaching a town on the Great Northern railway In Ire land an intelligent looking young Irish- searching her pocket. She commenced to weep. Have you been robbed?' he asked.
 "Oh, mo-" she replied; i've lost my ticket, and they will accuse me of fraud"
 Seeing her distressed state of mind, he said:
 "Oh, don't mind. Here, take my tick. ct, and I will give the guard a prob lem," while their fellow passengers awaited the scene at the station with interest.
 When the train stopped, the guard collected all the tickets but one. "Where is your ticket?" he asked the young man.
 You have got my ticket" he replied.
 No, l have not got 1t. I'll call the station master and see about it."
 Where is your tIcketY asked the station master when he appeared.
 He has my ticket. See if he has a ticket in his hand with a small piece off the corner"
 'Yes, you have, Dave. There it is."
 Well, see will that fit it?" said Pat, handing him the small piece, and it did. A look of surprise crept over the guards face as he left the carriage, while Pat caused much amusement by exclaiming, "Begorra, knew he could not solve itv-London Tit-Bits.

Two of Nast's Faces.

William NJ. Tweed was a portly man of medium size, with long, pendulous nose, little porcine eyes, fat, dropping cheeks and straight, firm mouth that was decidedly his best feature. The outlines of his face were those of Bartlett pear, little end upward, and never saw craft so palpably written upon a human countenance. Mast used to be fond of drawing Tweed's face, by the way, as sack of money. The general contour of his head lent itself to the outlines of the sack, and he used 5 marks for the nose and eyes. Strange to say, 1t was a capital DOT trait.
 Another of Nast's trick pictures was one of Roscoe Conkling. He would draw large letter V, with a smaller inside it and surmount the pair with an Interrogation mark upside down. The big V represented Conkling's point ed beard, the smaller one his sharp nose and the Interrogation point the Hyperion curl which he always allowed to fall negligently upon his forehead. That caricature made the naughty sen- ator wild and exasperated him more than any bit of fun that was ever poked in his direction.-New Orleans Times
