THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION

The Convention held in Louisville
on last Thursday was one of the mo.t
harmonious in the States history.
The representatives of Kentucky's
real manhood were in attendance and
the manner in which all business was
put through, shows the true tenor of
the situation. The Democratic party
is the party OF the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people, and those who
participated in that convention had at
heart the interest @. :5o masses. Inc
great strikes of labor organizations
throughout the country is food for re-
Election. The people, year by year
are growing more and more enlight.
ened and the party that fosters trusts
and monopolies and caters only to the
rich mans interests, will soo-er or la
ter pass into oblivion by way of the
hands of the honest horde. A party
that will stop at nothing to gain its
point (not even asssssination), has
had it's day add the people will now
take hand in their own affairs. The
platform adopted by the convention
is sound and can be supported by ev-
cry Democrat in the Commopwealth.

In the management of polite
al campaign, religious conven-
ton, the affairs OF an educational
institution or any financial under
taking, the wishes of some inter-
ested parties can not be carried
out, some sacrifices have to be
made.
In the distribution of posi-
tons of trust and profit some as
pirants have to be defeated, and
usually there is some dissatisfac-
ton. All should remember there
are great principles that are to be
established and perpetuated; and
if in securing these there are per-
sonal sacrifices to be made, and
failures to receive merited and an
ticipated rewards, there should be
patience and heroic endurance.

The refusal of Gov. Mount, of
Indiana, to honor the requisition
for the extradition Of Mr.. Taylor,
was no surprise to Kentucky
Democrats. 1t seems that the
"honest old Governor" has gone
astray in the closing days of his
political career. He gives a leng-
thy statement, based purely on
partisan lines, why he refused to
honor the requisition. This is
an assumption Of power, which
the people Of Kentucky and all
good people of other States, as
well, will not soon forget.

Where Time Begins It's Flight.

If one could have truly rapid transit
and be'able to pass along the meridian
of one hundred and eighty degrees
from the North Pole to the Equator
in moment, writes John Richie, Jr.,
in the January Ladies Home Journal,
he would have strange experience if
the time selected for the journey were
a few moments after midnight on the
morning of Tuesday, January l, 1901,
the first day of the twentieth century.
Near the Pole it would be the twen-
tieth century, Tuesday morning; at
sixty degrees north latitude it would
be Monday morning that was begin
ming, the last day OF the nineteenth
century, for here it is that the western
sweep of the date-line includes the
Aleutian Islands in the American
day. At thirty-tive degrees north
latitude it would be again Tuesday in
the new century.

Duties of an Editor.
Pennington Times:

Work, work, work. The editor in
his ink-grimed den finds his work, like
a woman's, never done. He has to
write politics, elections, religion, his
tory, statistics, business, finance, rail-
roads, steamboats,, Improvements. He
has to write distinguished arrivals,
stray mules, notices, crops, weather,
markets, crimes and rascalities, where
in is embraced much of the politics of
the day. He has to write personal
notices, often of numbskulls and no.
bodies. births, deaths, marriages and
other calamities, removals, sales,
trades, exchanges and failures, pre-
eminently conspicuous among which
come most of the statesmen and
craftsmanship of these latter days.
He has to write puffs of new ex-
changes and new advertisers, puffs Of
muddle-headed speakers and nimble-
footed dancers, puffs OF bar rooms and
churches, puffs of sermons, ballads,
bishops, and puffs of people that puff
him.
He has to write descriptions of balls,
picnics, concerts. revivals ard smash
ups, Extravaganza or barbecues, rail-
lies, reunions and mass meetings;
dissertations on fashions, essays on
morality and criticisms on the follies
of the day and subscribers who do not
pay. Daily and hourly he must run
the whole gamut of emotions and tear
the last feeling and sentiment to tat
tiers. He must be glad to hear this
and panied to hear that; delighted to
meet such one and distressed to
know of accident to another; overjoy-
ed at this arrival and sad to mention
that departure; pleased to state one
thing and grieved to announce an
other; shocked at this and enraptured
at that; sympathizing here, congratu-
lating there; mourning to-day, rejoic-
ing tomorrow; and now jingling a
merry wedding strain. He must be
ever ready to entertain his elderly
female constituents with information
in regard to the price of butter and
eggs, cures for measles, Group and
chicken cholera, the condition OF the
heather and the prospects of charity
fairs or church festivals. He must
always be prepared, like self-wind-
ing, double back action, automatic
hardy-gurdy, to dash off alta NOM
ent's warming, in any tune or key,
anything from Congregational poetry
and imported swine to supreme court
decisions, ruins of Egypt, Greece and
and Rome, gubernatorial tickets and
size of cabbage and pumpkins.
And, worse than all, at the bidding
OF any and every mob OF inebriated
partisans and jobbing hucksters known
as convention he must increasingly
blow and puff political toad-frogs and
lesser. vermin into majestic lions Of
statescraft, and transform stupid and
theivish nonentities into colossal
giants of wisdom, learning, eloquence
and virtue.
Alas, alas! if there glow no holy,
patriotic fire upon his altar OF daily
sacrifices, if he be not illuminated and
consecrated with pure and heroic am
bition to advance the welfare OF his
country and his people, if over all his
work exalted love of liberty and right
and ardent desire to serve his age cast
not their sacred halo, his labor is but
ill-paid slavery and his life a weary
failure.

"Oh, 1 don't have to advertise in
he city; everybody in the city knows
ne and where l am located, and if
hey want anything in my line they
will come and see me-" This was the
nswer / got the other day from a
merchant upon asking him why he
id not advertise. 1t is egotistical, to
ay the least, for merchant to make
n assertion like this. Even if he
rere so well known, the population
1 most towns is SO changeable that
here are always new corners. These
eople come here to live and their
'ade is just as desirable as those who
ave lived here all their lives. But
he merchant who makes this asser-
on will sooner or later realize that
ven il everyone in town did know
i'm, he will soon be forgotten in his
ny and age if he sits in his store and
ats for trade. The successful BUSH
ess man of today is the merchant
no bids for his customers-the man
no goes after them with attractive
I'D carefully worded ads in the papers.
Ie have examples all around us of
lie merchant who does not advertise
I'D the merchant who does-and it is
ot hard to tell at glance which is
ne most successful. To be a success
i merchant more is necessary than
know everybody in town. You
ust get after everybody and keep
yur name and business before them.
he only means OF doing this, and
re most successful, is to adyertise.-X

The man who deserts old friends
when the tide seems to be setting
against them, forgets that tides in the
mercantile affairs of men are almost
as certain to turn as the tides of the
sea. Many one has sacrificed his
best friend for the sake OF what he re-
garded as policy, only to find in later
years that he has given up something
which he can never replace and in
flicted an injury upon himself which
he can never repair. A true, loyal,
helpful friend is a treasure whose
value cannot be expressed in words
or measured in gold. He who aban.
dons such friend in what he regards
as his hour of need possesses all the
characteristics of a hypocrite, traitor
and coward.

Expectorating in Public Places.

If the council Of Ritzville would fol-
low in the footsteps Of the council of
that enterprising city, Spokane, and
pass an ordinance making it a punish
able offense by imprisonment or fine
for expectorating on the sidewalk or
in a public building, it would be step
in the right direction. Some men and
boys who frequent the opera house
and court house have a habit of spit
ting on the floor and when they leave
a pig pen would be a beauty spot in
comparison to the place they occupied
for an hour or two. People who can
not refrain from such conduct are not
wanted in such places and the en-
trance fee they have paid, if any, is no
object whatever. Public decency de-
mands that the nefarious and filthy
practice be stopped. 1t is disgusting
in the extreme, often spelling the
pleasure of many persons who expect
ed to spend an enjoyable hour at
some place OF amusement, and still it
is tolerated with wonderful display
Of patience by the people in the small
towns. Go into the theaters, churches
and public buildings in the cities, and
if splitting is not done almighty sly,
Mr.. Splitter will not only get into
trouble but pay very dearly for his
qualification of appetite" Again,
if the ladies of Ritzville would kind
ly remove their hats just before the
curtain rises it would save much COM
plant being made to the management.
The following clipping from the Spo-
kane Chronicle can, we think, be read
here with benefit perhaps to some
thoughtless persons:
"For many years the newspapers
have tried to persuade the theater-go-
ing ladies OF Spokane not to begin
putting on their hats and wraps be-
fore the end OF the last act of the play.
The effect is most encouraging. A
large proportion of the ladies who at
tend the theater in Spokane now show
their regard for Others by remaining
quiet till the last curtain falls. There
are few who still persist in frantic
ally seizing bonnets and capes when
they see the climax Of the drama APP
preaching and giving the people be-
hind them a fine imitation of a total
eclipse just at the most interesting
part OF the play.
"After the repeated warning given
by the local papers there is but one
way to excuse these women, and that
is by deciding that they are unable to
read. The management of the Audi
forum would do well to find some
other way to warn these we'll meaning
but ignorant women. The fact that
one cannot read is no excuse for being
a nuisance all the time"
