The building OF county houle>
ward, as suggested by George r
Hurlburt. has been pet scheme OF
this paper for years. The advan>
tages and pleasures to be derived
from such a road would be inestim-
able. The cost could be provided
for in sinking fund and it would
rest more lightly as one Of the bur
dens of taxation, than the present
scheme of taxation for road repairs.
AS suggested by Mr.. Hurlburt it
could be undertaken by the county
by the issuance Of bonds to cover
the cost, the same as is done in
providing funds for the creation ol
bridge or any other large county
improvement.

A Tbeorv q Bloodthirstiness.

A Chicago professor, who, like many
Others, is interested in the strain of
bloodthlrstlness that seems to run
through Kentuckans, believes that the
explanation Of the homicldal tendencies
of the state must be sought in remote
hereditary faint. He argues that the
most reasonable theory Of the killing
propeasltIcs Of Kentuckians must as
cribe their habits to the old Virginia
blood that made great duellsts and
swaggerers of the British gentry in the
period when the Old Dominion was set
tied. This theory may be plausible or
1t may not. but it leaves out certain
local conditions, natural and long es-
tabllshed.
without going over-far into the
hay and dangerous realm Of psychic
speculation" remarks the Cleveland
Leader, 1T may be worth while to con-
slider the possibility of thus fastening
upon the territory which is now Ken
lucky a sort of permanent bloodthIrsti-
ness. 1t is not necessary to imagine
the soil or the air tainted. 1t is enough
to give full weight to the influence of
the Indian feuds and bloody wars upon
the early white settlers. They found
Kentucky peculiarly bloody field Of
colonization. 1t was dangerous place,
beyond the usual degree of peril to
scattered white families. Hence 1t fol-
lowed that the element which first won
and held the state for civilization was
peculiarly bold, quick to kill, and care
less of bloodshed.
Granting so much, and the truth Of
history is imperative to that extent, all
the rest Of Kentucky's murderous
career follows by the force OF heredIty.
Not only inheritance but associations
and local traditions have filled the state
with sort Of homlclda! mania. Men
have died by violence so long and so Of
ten that lt seems natural that they
should continue to perish In that way.
Deadly feuds have been participated in
by so many persons. honored and dis
tlngulshed, that 1t has never been
thought dlscredItable to kill an enemy.
That seems to be what aIls one of the
finest states in the union, in natural
resources and advantages"

The South Dakota Pest.

The inflammatory and vIndictive Pet
tlgrew, of South Dakota, is frequently
hoIsted by his own petard. The animus
Of his attitude in the United
States SENATE towards the Pres
ident has been pretty thor
oughly ventilated. Senator Wolcott
gave him dressing down not long ago
that the shrewish Dakotan will never
forget, but it remained for Senator Gal
llnger to make him eat his own words;
or rather prove himself a villIher in
spite Of himself. In his masterpiece on
the Filipino instruction Pettigrew is
quoted In the Congressional Record as
having said:
1.-THE trouble with these imperIalists
is that they confound the government
of the United States with their puny
President"
In continuing to explain himself in
justification of his application to Pres
ident Mckinley of the adjective puny,
Pettlgrew referred to the brutal
phrases" OF the proclamation address,
ed by the President to the people Of the
Philippines. Senator Galllnger Of New
Hampshire, could not see matters in
that light. and. according to the New
York Sun, The asked PettIgrew to read
from the proclamation one or two
brutal phrases which had arrested his
attention and excited his Indignation.
Here are the brutalities which Petit
grew produced, reading first from the
passage Immediately following the
Presidents assurance to well-dIsposed
FilipInos that our army of occupation
was there to befriend them and pro-
tect them In their homes, employments,
and personal and religious rights:
And others will be brought within the
lawful rule we have assumed, with Arm
ness, II need be. but without severity. so
far as may be possible.
The military government heretofore
maintained by the United States in the
city, harbor and bay OF Manila Is to he
extended with all possible dispatch to
the whole Of the ceded territory.
Brutal means savage; cruel: In
human; unieellng Preserving as well
as possible the simulated gravity with
which he had asked the original ques-
ton. Mr.. Galllnger remarked to Petit
grew:
II the senator viii permit me. II strikes
me that his declaration that those eX-
pressions OF the Presidents message are
brutal is absolutely rcfuted by reading
them. The President OF the United
States used no brutal language, and has
not done so during the period OF HOSTILE
ties.
PettIgrew's remarkable justification
of the eplthet puny as applied to PRIEST
dent Mckinley and his illustration. at
Mr.. GnIlinger's instance, Of his private
conception Of brutality, must have per-
suaded the entire senate that the South
Dakota pest does not know what any
adjective in the dictionary really slgnl-

st. Louis Republic; one day when
Senator Vest was in the law business
at sedalia an old soldier drifted into his
office and very bluntly said; II want to
sue my administrator"
Vest loOkd at the man hurrledly and
seemed assured that the fellow was not
crazy. Still. he had his doubts, and
asked what he meant by such an ex-
traordlnary thing as suing his admin
wen, I am dead" replied the fell
"Dead2"
"Yes. am supposed to be dead. at
least the courts have declared me so,
and all my property has been adjudI-
Gated, and divided up between my wife
and children"
Then the visitor told how he had left
home for the village store one day dur
ing the beginning Of the civil war. A
regiment Of Confederate soldiers passed
through. he caught the fever rode on
with them and remained in the army
until after the war, not having COM
munIcated with his family during that
time. They, supposing that he had
died, appealed to the court, and dispos-
sessed him of his property.
It is needless to say that the soldier
was restored to his rights through the
courts

ries on Vest" remarked John R. Wal
