Plan of the Democrats.


Louisville, KY, Feb. 12.--It is re.
ported that the republicans will this
week seek to bring the contest for
the offices of governor and lieutenant
governor before the federal court.
Former Gov. Bradley, chief counsel
for the republicans in their applica'

state election commissioners from
proceeding with the contest for the
minor offices, was in town in CONSUL
tation with leading republican law
yers. The case involving the minor
offices comes up at Cincinnati, and il
is believed the other case will also bs
taken before Judge Taft.
On Tuesday the application of the
democrats for an injunction to re
strain Taylor from interfering with
the legislature will come up in the
circuit court at Frankfort. The cast
has been continued from time to tims
by the democrats pending the peac,

One French harbor is now equip
ped with a simple but ingenius sys-
TEN Of defense consisting of an end
less chain running over a series of
pulleys beneath the surface of the
water and adapted to be moved con-
stantly when desired by power con-
nected with one of the pulleys. To
this chain are attached numerous
torpedoes, each connection being a
tow-line leading to lever on the tor
pedo so arranged that when the for
ward impulse ceases the lever moves
and throws safety catch into posi-
ton to prevent the striker in the head
of the torpedo from exploding it.
Thereafter if friendly ships in the |
ha1bor should run afoul of torpedo,
no harm would be done. Isn't it |
queer that all of these devices are in
genius up to certain point but omit
some prime necessity or overlook
some vital defect which it almost al
ways requires American ingenuity to
supply or correct. In the present in
stance there seems to be nothing to
prevent graphing, by which means
the enemy could break the endless
chain and put the whole series of tor
oedoes out of action.

JAPANESE INVASlON."
Our People on the Pacific Coast Are
Alarmed.

Our PoOpl" ON tho Pacific Coast Ara
Alarmed.
The San Francisco Chronicle is pam
lc-stricken over the idea of a Japanese
invasion. It calls attention that cool
les from that country are being land
ed in large numbers, not only in Ha-
waii, but in the United States. These
$50 in cash and are allowed to land.
They then return the money to the
company which loaned it to them and
go on their way rejoicing. But the
Chronicle points out that the danger is
not from the coolies alone. There have
come to this country numbers of
young men and boys Of higher native
type. They learn our language rap
idly, are diligent students and general
ly bright, shrewd, energetic fellows,
with an eye upon the upper rounds Of
the commercial ladder. In very
short time they fit themselves for
posts as clerks, statesmen, agents, tele-
graphers, stenographers, merchants
and professional men.
We cannot see that there Is anything
in this that would warrant the cry:
"The Japanese must co." yet that is
the cry which the Chronicle declares
must be raised and raised at once to
avoid future diplomatic troubles. 1t
would seem that the Intelligent Japan
csc youth had Just as much riglt to
work out his commercial and profess
sional salvation in this country as The
German. French of Italian youth. It
is citizens Of that class, the ambitious,
thrifty, enterprising class. that this
country wants. An energetic Japanese
boy who comes to this country and
creates new industry or improves an
old one, who enriches the community
in. which he lives by his indusTty and
his brains, is not the person to be
sent away or shut out.
The great objection to the Chinese
was the fact that they would not
mix" They would herd together,
maintaining their distinctive customs,
costumes and dialects; their virtues
and their vices remained unchanged;
they gave this nation nothing in re-
turn for the money which they earned
from US. This charge cannot be
brought against the Japanese. They
endeavor to identify themselves with
American customs and institutions as
rapidly as possible after landing. They
pride themselves on acquiring our So
cial, commercial and political habits
with ease, and they become natural
lied citizens who use their franchise
with intelligence.
To raise the cry, "The Japanese
must 60" is most. foolish. Keep out
the coolie, certainly, just as we keep
out other contract laborers, but the in
telligent japanese are welcome.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

r1ARCH AND THE LION.
Something Better Than the Old Saw

The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false,
but there is another and better ,,one
which is literally true. When March
comes in and finds you taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich and
vitalize your blood, you may expect,
when it goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling and
with none of the boils, pimples and
eruptions which manifest themselves
because of impure blood in the spring.
If you have not already begun taking
Hoods Sarsaparilia for your spring
medicine, we advise you to begin
today. We assure you it will make
you feel better all through the
coming summer.

II
Another lesson the African combat
ants are learning-although they
have not as yet profted by it to the
extent of SUI cessfully solving the
question-is that guns no matter how
heavy or light or what their range, to
be effective in warfare. must be mo
bile. It is a basic principle that a
fort or fertilization of any kind falls
far short of ship, because the latter
can move and the former cannot.
How much more valuable then on
the same principle is gun which
can be advanced or withdrawn no
matter what the topography of the
country, and whose size and weight
does not require heavy draft animals.
One never knows in mounting
"Long Tom" on it's carriage at home
what kind of difficult ground it will
get into before it goes into action;
and there is large opportunity for
some clever inventor to devise gun
mount capable of easy transportation
over land or sea, rough or smooth
ground or that which is hard or soft,
and under fire or in peace. It might
possess the disappearing attributes or
not. With this carriage should go
light gun of long range, and the
whole should be simple in construc-
ton and operation, and should also
have minimum of exposed parts.

INTIMIDATION WON'T WORK
Jointists Fined $50 for Assaulting a
Man Who Testified Against Them.

The case of George Buford and Homer
Gragg for assaulting G. w. Steffey. was
tried in the police court Thursday after
noon and the judge rendered his decis-
ion this morning He found them both
guilty and imposed fine of $50 in each
case
The evidence showed that the defend
ants had followed Storey from the po-
lice station to Kansas avenue, up that
avenue to Fourth street, down Fourth
to Fifth and a short distance east on
Fifth They were close upon him when
he said II don't want to have any
trouble with you.'' and stepped between
them at the same time drawing his re-
volver. Gragg caught him around the
waist while Buford took the gun away
and struck Steffey twice with 1t. The
judge said that while the defendants
had right to protect themselves. it
was evident they were following Steffey
with the intention of intimidating him
and thought the court had right to
presume they were. The plaintiff had
been witness against both of the de-
PENDANTS in liquor cases and when the
men followed him. naturally thought it
was for no good purpose.
The cases were both appealed and
