GOOD DEMAND
For Snuff Tobacco and italians
Also Sold Well.
Dry Weather Causing Disposition
to Hold the Present Stock
of Weed.

Tobacco receipts this week were
275 hogsheads and sales 392 hogs
heads. Receipts for the year I0655
hhds. Sales for the year 7942 hhds.
On account of the very dry
weather the growing crop is max
ing slow progress and the indica-
tons are that the crop of 1901 will
be much shorter than was expected
earlier. On this account there is a
disposition to hold on to the weed,
and offerings were in consequence
not so large as usual. There was
a good demand for snuff tobacco and
Italians also sold quite well. The
offerings for the week consisted
chiefly of medium and Common Leaf.
Prices were about the same as those
realized last week.

ALMOST A RIOT
At Jacksonville Between Officers
and Miners.

Madisonville, KY, July 16.-A
big riot seemed imminent here this
morning between the sheriff and
deputies and a crowd of union
miners. Roy Blanks and William
Brooks, a union miner became en-
gagged in difficulty, and friends Of
both began to take sides, until a
general riot seemed inevitable. Chief
of Police Craig, who was trying to
restore peace, was assaulted and
badly beaten. Intense feeling pre-
walls here between the officials and
the union miners, and an outbreak
is liable to come at any time.

MONKEY BUSINESS
Going On In the Free Delivery
Preparations.
Republican Ringsters Juggling the
List of Eligibles Before the
Postmaster Has Seen It,

The civil service examinations of
applicants for free delivery carriers
for Hopkinsville were held several
months ago. but no public announce
ment of the result has been made
known. Postmaster Breathitt has
not been furnished a list of those
passing, nor has he been asked to
make nominations from the eligible
list as authorized by law.
Nevertheless it is known that a
list purporting to be the roll of those
passing the examinations has for
some time been in the hands of the
nominees for county Offices on the
Ring ticket. From the last infor-
nation obtainable by indirection it
is said that at least four white men
passed the examination. These
were l.. w. Guthrie, of Sinking
Fork; Will Croft, Frank Marion
and Fred Callard, of Hopkinsville.
At least three of these are staunch
Republicans, but the chances are
that they will not be appointed by
the bosses. The positions of car
riers are needed at this stage of the
game to satisfy the increasing de-
mands of the colored majority of
the party for recognition at the
hands of the Ring. AS they have
appropriated to themselves, by COM
bine methods, all desirable county
nominations, the places controlled
by Maj. Breathitt have been taken
out of his hands to trade on in coun-
ty politics, although the Postmas.

DEMOCRATIC INDIFFERENCE.

AS indicating the temper of many
Iowa democrats who are opposed to
Organism and silver, the Burlington
Gazette (dem.), an outspoken opponent
of these issues, gives perhaps as fair an
expression as may be found. 1t declares
that the platform of the convention
might have been worse with which re-
publicans will agree) and that lit should
have. been much better" 1t says further,
1t can't do much harm; it might have
done much good. 1t proclaims to the
country that Iowa has not retrieved it
self entirely from the false issues. and
a majority of the convention still bowed
in pitiful alteration to the fading for
tunes of William Jennings Bryan and
the people, however, and will receive
the democratic support. 1t will create
no enthusiasm, there will be no red fire
and the same apathy and careless indif-
ference that has marked the democratic
party in Iowa for years past, we are
afraid, will not be disturbed by the ac-
ton of the convention
This is as mild form of criticism az
one might expect. even from a paper
that has constantly opposed the silver
ism of the party But many of the old
line democrats are far more outspoken
and more intensely bitter, and it will
doubtless be their purpose to vote the
republican ticket or to refrain from yot-
ing to emphasize the need of reform
in their own lines
There are also hosts of democrats who
have hitherto acted with the silverites
who recognize the fact that the time has
come to drop the issue as part of the
dead past. who will be equally lacking
in enthusiasm. They recognize the fact
that the convention Numbered when 1t
might have harmonized the factions.
They have had the lessons of gold stan
dard prosperity so completely demon
strated that they no longer cling to 16
to 1. The latter will have little discus
sion in the campaign and in fact they
recognize that any one who attempts it
will be looked upon by the people as a
freak and as ghost from the tomb

Night.

Georgia A. Lunt.l
Glorious night! Draped in f1eecy clouds
of most delicate hue,
The blue sky so thickly jetted
With bright twinKling little stars,
And the moon just peeping into sight
To view the beauty below.
The drowsy bee her evening vesper
huns,
The frog begins to croak his night song,
The cricket in the sleepy meadow
strums.
And from mid the tree tops you can
hear the echo Of the whipporwill;
The little fireflies lift their gauzy wings
And illuminate each coy nook.
The trees. with their foliage in abun-
dance rare.
Famed by the soft breath Of night,
Droop modestly, and from arches
Far more beautiful than in artists
dream,
Where lovers wind their blissful way,
And where the lonely ones retreat
To dream of the happy days Of yore.
All is 30 beautiful. dear. with Natures
cody gifts,
And alone, i seek the cool breezy night
And long for the clinging Of thine arms;
For the honey of the kisses of thy lips.
Oh, the glory of the love that never dies,
All, the happiness in days gone by!
Each little bird is dreaming in his nest:
Nor in our dreams. dear. art thou and i
apart:
And in all this world Of sleep
There is no rest
For the longing, for the beating Of my
heart!

The STATE Fair.

1t is expected that large crowds from
various parts of the state will visit Des
Moines and attend the state fair this
week. 1t is part of Hawkeye duty, as
well as pleasure to many, to make a
pilgrimage to the state capital on this
occasion. Railroad fares are low, and
the attractions this year are said to be
up to the standard. Indeed the Des
Moines Capitol of Saturday evening
said:
The agricultural department of the
state fair will have in place by this eve
ming exhibits rivaling that of any prev
ious year. Fair visitors on looking it
its appearance that the state had a
dry season this summer
The live stock exhibit will be large
and fine, the entries of cattle and sheep
surprising others for several years.
Ex-Governor Packard, of Marshall
town, who has charge of the cattle ex-
MIDI says This cattle show beats the
record. That is literally true. Go not
except the worlds fair nor the big ex-
position of last December in Chicago
More cattle have been exhibited bur
never more or better breeding stock
We have nearly if not quite 700 head of
breeding stock here
The Ames Agricultural college display
will be one of the best features of the
big fair.
Aside from the regular agricultural
displays always to be found there ar,
other features and attrac.,ons TO suit
all tastes.
The Des Moines papers indicate that
the state capital is one of the most in
teresting of the city's attractive feat
ures and that large numbers of people
throng the various departments, partic-
ularly young people who have never be-
fore had chance to inspect its beauti-
full and substantial architectural
points.

THE pRoHlBl1IoNIs1s MUST CHOOSE.

The anti-saloon league holding a con-
vention in Des Moines for the purpose
of putting up an Independent ticket
against the republican and democratic
nominees finds itself in turmoil Of
conflicting opinions. Many of the an
ti-saloonists favor supporting Cummins
while the more radical and less practi-
cal ones want a nominee Of their own.
The futility of opposing the two great
parties with an independent ticket is
apparent to most of them and since
Cummins has gone on record as favor
ing no change in the present status of
liquor legislation, while on the other
hand the democratic nominee is pledged
by his party platform to the repeal of
and local option, these men have right
ly decided that the practical prohibi-
ZIONIST Should support the republican
nominee. The crank and the visionaire
still follows a hopeless cause
AS the T.-R has declared before, the
prohibition issue is not involved in this
campaign. The prohibition law still re-
mains on the statute books of this state
and prohibition rules in all commune
ties excepting those in which sixty-five
or fifty per cent of the voters, as the
case may be county or an incorpor-
ated town of 5000 inhabitants or over,
favor the establishment of saloons. In
| those communities the presumtion is and
| experiences teaches that prohibitory
law without the mulct could not be en-
| forced. Prohibition Is not an issue be-
cause the republican party intends to
| maintain the status quo. 1t is true the
democratic party has declared and the
| democratic nominee stands for the re-
peal of the present liquor laws in favor
| of greater liquor license but since the
| fiasco of the Des Moines convention
even democrats themselves have prac-
| tically ceased to be an issue in this
campaign. However, granting that
| democratic opposition Is to be formid-
able no sane man will question for a
moment that the election this fall will
go either to the republicans or the dem
ocrats. Therefore when few Metho-
dist preachers get together, as was done
in the Ida Grove conference. to de-
nounce the nomination of Mr.. Cum
minis. their action, in so far as it has
any influence on the result at all. only
serves to aid the democratic ticket
whose members are pledged to the re-
peal Of the very prohibitory law these
men seek to maintain.
Preachers In politics may be excused
| for clinginE to IDEAS that are thorough.

The Democratic Bolt in Iowa.
[Chicago Record Herald.1


The practical Reputation of the silver
portion of the platform by the demo-
cratic nominee for governor of Iowa
emphasizes the folly of the convention
in permitting an unnecessary and mex
cusable Endorsement OF dead issue. =
The Butler preamble was adopted in a
spirit of concession to the silver wing
of the party.
That the concession was a piece OF
amazing political stupidity, however.
must now be plainly apparent to the
democrats in view of the bolt that has
already set in. In the last election Iowa
gave plurality of nearly hundred
thousand against free silver. 1t was
easy to see that the democrats could
have no hope of defeating cummins.
the republican nominee. 1t was there
fore great opportunity for the Iowa
democracy to follow the example OF
Ohio. Maryland, Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania. and by accepting the evident
logic of the times. get in line with the
progressive element OF the party that
is certain to dominate the next national
democratic convention.
