THE revival of industry
which we have witnessed within
the past year is one OF con:
graduation, and it should be
I our pupose to endeavor to pro
long this era of more general
employment and industrial &C.
#tivity. In this effort no power
is SO potent as organized labor,
if we but follow a right and
practical course. It is beyond
question that the wages OF the
organized workers have been in
creased, and in many instances
the hours of labor either reduced
Or. at least maintained. The re-
port which your officers are en-
abled to submit to this conven-
ton, so far as the growth and
progress of our movement dur
ing the past year are concerned,
is of a most gratifying charac-
ter. At last we are realizing
some of the fruits of the years
of unceasing sacrifice, devotion,
and uninterrupted work OF our
fellow unionists."
This quotation is from the re-
port of President Gompers at
the convention of the American
Federation of Labor held at
Detroit on December II, 1899.
It is a standing memorial to the
benefits derived by American
labor under a Republican ad-
~ministration and Republican
laws that are designed to protect
our wage-earners and enable
them to secure the highest pos
sible rate of wages in return for
the labor which they have to
sell.
It is but right to state here
that Mr.. Samuel Gompers, the
president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, is now, and al
ways has been, an uncompromis'
ing Democrat. His frank and
unsolicited testimony to the bet
ter conditions of labor under a
Republican ad m mi tr at ior
should, therefore, have some in
fuence with our friends on the
other side.

Two weeks from to-day will be our

very quiet. The Democrats have the
strongest ticket in the field they have
had for years, especially would we
mention the candidacy of Emery

proving his ability 70 serve in a pub
lie capacity. Little or nothing is be-

their opponents. Judging the future
by the past, this will be a temperance
town the coming year. For several
years past, with but one exception, it
has been dry one year and wet" the

NEW MILITARY DIVISION,

To Have Control of the Philippines,
Created by Secretary Root-Otis to
Have Command.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Secre-
tary Root took a step long contemplate
ed in the administration Of the Phil
ippines by directing the creation of
an entirely new military division to
be known as the division of the Pa
ciic" embracing all of the Philippine
archipelago. The division in turn is
to be divided into four military depart
ments as follows: The department of
Northern Luzon, commanded by Gen.
Macarthur; the department of South
ern Luzon, commanded by Gen. Bates;
the department of Viscayas, command
ed by Gen. Hughes and the depart
ment Of Mindanao and Jolo, command
ed by Gen. Kobbe. Major General Otis
will retain the supreme command over
these departments as division COM
mander, occupying toward them a po-
sition corresponding closely to that
occupied by Gen. Miles toward the mill
itary departments in the United
States. 1t is said at the War Depart
ment that the purpose of the new or
der of things is to free Gen. Otis from
the many minor details incident to
the administration of the islands,
leaving him at liberty to devote more
time to larger questions of policy and
civil administration.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Cab
met to-day discussed the situation in
Kentucky. Senator Deboe and Rep
resentative Pugh saw the President and
several members of the Cabinet before
the meeting to-day. 1t is learned that
no federal interference was requested
nor is any desired, but it has been in
timated that the moral support of the
administration would be very helpful
and welcome, as would an expression
of sympathy. The delegations that
have been here, sc far as "a be learn
ed, have asked nothing more than that.
1t can be stated, on high authority,
that however much the President may
sympathiZe with the Republicans in
Kentucky, he realizes that the federal
government cannot take any part in
the controversy. The question at is
sue are before the Courts, and so far
as the government is concerned, it is
positively asserted, they will be al
lowed to pass upon them without the
least interference or an expression of
interest by the federal authorities.

Judge Moore Relieves From the Tes-
timOny That Caleb lower Was
One of the C~onspirators.


FRANKFORT, KY, March 27.-The
fourth day OF the examining trial of
Republican Secretary of State Caleb
Powers began with the court room
cleared of all persons excepting attor-
neys, newspaper representatives and
officers of the court. When Judge
Moore called for order at ten o'clock
the attorneys for the defense held a
consultation and called County Attor
ney Polsgrove.
Immediately after the consultation,
Governor Brown for the defense an
nounced that no testimony will be in
PRODUCED for the defense and that they
would waive further examination. The
pardon issued to Powers by Gov. Tay-
lor was rendered by ex Governor
Brown as a bar to the prosecution and
he asked that the defendant be dis
missed. Col. Campbell said the COM
monwealth denied Gov. Taylor's right
to issue a pardon at the time the par
don was granted. Gov. Brown moved
that the prisoner be dismissed upon
the evidence. The motion was over
ruled. Bail was asked.
Judge Moore said:
1T is not my belief that Powers
fred the shot which killed Gov. Goe-
bel, but from the evidence it is my
opinion that he was connected with
the conspiracy to kill him. | shall
therefore order that he be held over
without bail to the Franklin county
grand jury that the case may be furth-
er investigated"
After the Powers case had been dis
posed of, Judge Moore asked if the
commonwealth was ready to take up
one OF the other cases, that of Captain
John Davis, or VIM. H. Culton. who
are charged with being accessories to
the assassination. County Attorney
Polsgrove asked that both cases be
postponed until 2 o'clock this after
noon, the attorneys having agreed and
court adjourned until that hour.
At 2 o'clock Attorney Polsgrove an
bounced that the commonwealth was
ready to proceed with the trial of
either Culton or Davis. A ~consulta-
ton of all the attorneys was held.
after which Captain Davis was brought
snto the court room, Culton having
come in early with his private guard.
Attorney Ramsel, Cu1ton's leading
counsel, announced that his client
would waive his examining trial and
by agreement with the attorneys Gull
ton will remain at home with his sick
wife under private guard.
In the case of Captain John Davis,
Attorney Dunlap, for the defense, stat
ed that the defendant would waive
examination and that an agreement
had been entered into whereby bail
could be dxed for Davis at 5000. The

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.
CULTON AND YOUTSEY, TWO OF
THE MEN UNDER ARREST
AT FRANKFORT,
Charged With Being Implicated in
the Conspiracy to Murder Cover
nor Goebel, Hold Conferences
With the Attorneys for the Prose-
cutiOn-Culton Believed to Have
Given Valuable InfOrmation-Yout-
sey Ready to Make a Statement.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 81
There were some startling develop
ments in the Goebel assassination case
to-day.
This afternoon, W. H. Culton who
waived examination ana was held ever
to the Circuit Court. went 20 the
Capitol Hotel, where he was in con-
ference with the attorneys for the
prosecution for oye two hours. He
was accompanied by his brother-in-law
p. e. Hogg, who is also his attorney.
1t was reported at the time that Culton
had made some kind of confession but
later tonight, it deve1oped that the
information gained vas not at all
sweeping in character as 1t was at first
reported.
Culton's friends who are in his con-
fdence, state that his statement was
not in the nature Of confession but
thcy admit that he gave the prosecu-
ton such information as he had, and
which had heretofore not come Out.
The conference between Culton and
the attorneys took place in the room
OF Col. T.. G. Campbell and there were
present besides Mr.. Culton and Camp
bell, Commonwealth Attorney Frank
lin, County Attorney Polsgrove, Rev.
Mr.. Culton, father of the prisoner, and
E. E. Hogg, a brother-in-law.
While this was going on, Henry E.
Youtsey, the auditors clerk who was
arrested at loon and locked up in Jail
charged with being an accessory, sent
for Col. Campbell and the latter visit
ed him at the Jail. and was closeted
with him for some time. Youtsey,
when he was arrested today, told the
officers that the prosecution had prom
ised not to arrest him and he COM
planned that that side had broken
faith with him. 1t is not known
what took place at the interview be-
tween Youtsey and Campbell, but it
is reported that Youtsey announced
that he vas ready to make a public
statement which the prosecution did
not care to have made. at least for
the present.
The report that Henry E. Youtsey
had made revelations to the prosecu-
ton seems to be wholly unfounded.
On the contrary it is said Youtsey
stoutly maintained not only his own
innocence, but that he stood ready all
the time as he does now. to tell all
he knows. nothing of which Is of a
eliminating nature. Youtsey's attor-
neys say that they will go before Judge
Moore tomorrow and ask an immed-
tate terminating trial. One of the
leaders in the prosecution said "Mr.
Youtsey told us nothing that we did
not know already and we gained moth
ing from him, but we were compen-
stated for the loss of what we hoped
to extract from him by what we did
get in the way of information from
Mr.. Culton."
