THE CABINET MEETING.
Various HatterS Discussed by the
President uud His Advisers

President and His Advisers.
The Cabinet meeting today was largely
devoted 70 concluding a number Of small
matters in the various departments before
the President leaves for Canton ON his
two months vacation. Postmaster Gen
eral Smith presented a matter concerning
q change in the Civil Service rules affect
ing his department
At present the rules fix the maximum
q Sc limit for entrance into the service as
carriers at forty years and the minimum
at Jwenty-Oue years, and the minimum
for entrance into the service as clerks at
eighteen years with no maximum limit.
The Civil Service Commission has rec
pTlmendcd that the limit OF age for both
classes be fixed at a maximum Of forty
years and q minimum of eighteen years
Postmaster General Smith believes that
the maximum limit should be extended TO
fcrty-fiye years with the proposition TO
lower the minimum to eighteen years The
President has authority TO prescribe the
rules and will do according to the Post
master Generals recommendation
II is probable that the proclamation

to issue the proclamation.

In response TO the request of the press
FOR me To make q statement iu re5arj TO
Cuba, all J have 10 say is that the ac-

suffering and so many sacrifices for free

! And. Of course, to pay Il visit 10 Pr.si-

so much. and also 10 pay my respects to

This is not ny first visit to this city
of which I have many pleasant and AZ
many sad recollecti0us, for have once
silently and unknown trod the thorough
! fares of a free country with the only
thought and hope OF helping to break the
chains Of enSlaved Cuba. Today every
thing is changed. on again setting foot
in this free land I feel happy. for in ev-
cry American I see a friend who. having
shed his blood side by side with Us for
Cuba's freedom. has earned our eternal
gratitude and established the mutual OBJ
legation between the two people to main

POLITICIANS AN TRUSTS,

The politicians who have been con-
tent to declare against the trusts in par
ty platforms in way that was not hurt
FIJI TO the trusts would do well TO keep
Mr.. Roosevelts speech, delivered few
days before his accession TO the presi
dency, pasted in their hats. There will
come time when the people of neither
party can be put off with fair words in
derogation of the trusts. They will
want something that will point to ac-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt said il was ''evi-
dent that the state and if necessary, the
nation, has got to possess the right to
supervise and control as regards the
corporations which are its creatures,
particularly as regards the great bust
ness combinations, which derive a por-
tien of their importance from the exist
ence of some monopolistic tendency"
In few weeks the President will send
a message to Congress, and it seems
probable that he will renew the senti
ment of his Minneapolis speech and en-
phasize it, 1t will be his opportunity TO
individualize his Administration with
out proclalming an open revolt against
the machine. The machine has pro-
fessed opposition to the trusts. Mr..
Roosevelt has made the same profession
but in way that indicates that he will
recommend anti trust legislation and
veto any measure that favors the trust.
The question threatens TO be trouble

Men are not won to the support OF
any cause or any ticket by blackguard

could be kicked down and dragged into
party. The sooner misguided poll

the quicker the Democrat party will re-
gain substantial footing in Kentucky.
-Cynthiana Democrat.
This Is sensible and to the point.
Conservatism, and the proper recog-
milton of the customs of decent and
polite society in political matters is de
n6unced by some as luke warmness'
and by others as traitors to ones life
time party associations. If one can
not be true to his own convictions and
at the same time be respectful to oppos-
ing elements. then we want nothing to
do with party politics, for then indeed
and in truth is the post Of honor the

State Line, KY, Oct, %, 1901.
Editor Courier
visited the city of Fulton one
day last week, for the first time in four
years, and spent a most agreeable day.
I met many old friends that have not
seen for some years, among whom was
Capt. j. p. Tyler. Mr.. Thos, Morris and
others. also met both our old Clerks,
Messrs. Taylor and Register, they are in
the dry goods business and have large
and handsome store, and large stock
Of goods and are doing a fine busi-
ness. l also met Judge Naylor who
was mixing with the people and meet
ing with q very pleasant reception.
The city has made some wonderful
changes since last saw it, many large
and substantial business houses haye
been put up all over the town aud many
more are being erected. Many large
and handsome private residences have
been built all oyer the place. The mer-
chants have large and handsome stocks
and seem to be doing fine business.
Everything seems 10 be in a most thriv-
ing condition, and on the high road to
prosperity and bright future.
regret to say that did not see so
many signs of thrift and prosperity in
the country, the farms have not kept
pace with the town and mature lines OF
Improvement since ! last saw them (;
there is rather a retrograde in the
evidences OF good farming, and there
10 want OF that neatness and care that
makes q farm look well and homelike
rs it should do. notice another thing
that regret, to see that the farmers
seem to be leaving their farms and go
ing to town and taking their sons with
them, and raising them TO be anything
but good farmers. regard this as
being much to be regretted. In my
opinion it takes as much intelligence
and enterprise to make successful
farmer as to make any other good bus
mess man, and think that when the
intelligent young man who has been
raised on the farm, leaves the country
for the towns, and the farms are en-
trusted to the management of ignorant
men it will be the greatest misfortune
that could befall the young man and
the country. Yours &C.,
Is, &. PRAfHER.
