Favors the Democrats.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals
last week handed down q decision
sustaining the Legislature in seating
Governor Beckham, Democrat. The
opinion is by six of the Judges.
four Democrats and two Republic
cans. One Republican dissented.
The opinion holds that the action of
the Legislature in seating Governor
Beckham was final and that the
Court has no power to review it: that
Governor Taylor exceeded his au-
thority in adiourning the Legisla'
ture to London. and the journals Of
the two houses of the Legislature,
being regular. cannot be impeached.

The war I'm the Philippines opens
n Market for Our Liquor
Our trade with the Philippines has
been itemized for the seven months
to February in late report of the
treasury bureau of statistics, and
from a commercial standpoint it
must be admitted that the results
are highly encouraging, particularly
in the case of malt and spirituous
liqnors. Exports from the United
States to the islands in that period
were: OF malt liquors, Sl01, ,7S1 |;
of brandy, s21, ,714; of whisky, $685.
1873; of wine, 1914; total malt and
spirituous liquors and wine, Sl92,-
547, or at the rate of $3.50, 900 year.
Aud yet. prior to the American oc-
cupation, our annual export of all
goods to the islands was little more
than 100000. Thus IN the one
item of intoxicating liquors we have
created by conquest trade more
than three times as large as our
whole export trade in all commodi-
ties amounted to. Here is striking
evidence of progress in civilization
from our career of conquest-in one
direction at least.

10 the Editor OF the SENTINEL.
When the Confederate war ended
it was found that South Carolina
had put in the field many more SOL
diers than she had voters. One who
has noticed the destructiveness OF
war, even on its survivors, will un-
derstand how nearly the white race
was wiped out of existence in that
State, and what a burden the old
men, who had stayed at home, and
the l6>year- old boys, who came back
as battered soldiers, had to take up
in the rehabilitation of the State.
The struggle seemed hopeless; but
at last book by a Maine publicist
came out under the name of 1.-The
PROSTATE State" which directed
public attention to the condition OF
that mistaken but brave and noble
people, and a change began in pub
lie opinion which resulted in putting
the affairs of the State into the hands
of the intelligence and integrity OF
the community, and it is now no
longer 1.-The Prostrate State" but is

is "the common medium of ex-

furnishes man about fifteen times as

The word candidate" comes to the
front periodically, yet comparatively
few know just what it means. II
comes from the Latin, says the Satur-
day Evening Post, "and means literally,
whiie-robed because those in ancient
Rome no sought Office wore a white
toIa." 1t is the same in origin as our
word "candid" which means open,
frank, truthful. The word, it will be
generally admitted, has bee somewhat
wrenched in its descent from the Latin
meaning to that which is now generally
applied. Think, for example, of a
