on a point of pleading, but under
a ruling of the Court of Appeals
a second was brought, which has
now resulted in verdict in his
favor. 1t is reported that an ap-
peal will be taken by the knights
of Labor, and it is to be hoped
that this will be done, so that
the question may be settled by
the highest authority, whether
labor unions are, like all other
associations of individuals, liza
BILE in damages for the effect of
their proceedings.
AS l have repeatedly pointed
out, the.heart of the difficulty of
dealing with these unions is that
they are treated as practically
irresponsible. / do not believe
they are legally so, although the
laws of many states have licensed
them to do some things which
are forbidden to private citizens
or corporations. But there is
still law enough to hold them re-
sponsible for criminal acts and
for civil wrongs, and it is a mat
ter for congratulation when this
fact is proved by the courage and
persistency of a victim of their
oppression.
A money verdict against such
a society will of course be, first
of all, claim upon the treasury
and property of the organization.
But if that does not satisfy the
claim, think any individual
member would be liable. If the
labor unions wish to remain un-
limited partnerships, they must
accept the unlimited response
bilities of partners. If they
wish to enjoy the limited liabil-
ity of corporations, they should
assume also the form and duties
of corporations, and submit to
the public inspection and control
to which corporations are sub
ject. But they certainly ought
not to remain as nondescripts,
having no responsibility at ALL

Convention Notes.

F. V. thinner says the ticket
that was selected Monday ought
to cure all sick Republicans if
any are sick.
The speech of Mayor Ross be-
fore the Republican convention
helped to strengthen the feeling
of harmony and of security en-
tertained by the Republicans
and Independents of Hopkins
county.
Will p. Scott was in evidence
Monday with his kindly counte-
nance and genial bulk of brain
and body contributing all he had
to help make the convention not
able for the harmony and wisdom
of its acts in the effort to select
the best men to uphold the honor
and credit of Hopkins county
and win out before the people at
the next November election.
Lat Mclaughlin is pluming
himself for a campaign of ora
tory that is sure to make him
popular with many who do not
personally know him yet, and he
will be heard all over the county
some distance at a time, with
his sonorous voice. And there
are other speakers-Finley
Scott, Waddill, thinner, Muir
phey-maybe number of 9th
ers. There is much that might
be spoken to the people and the
situation may bring out some
talent not mentioned and de-
velop latent talent not known
before.
1t was a big, enthusiastic, har-
monious convention and every
body was In a good humor.

THE LIABILITY OF LABOR UNIONS
FOR DAMAGES---THE LUCKE CASE.

The latest development in this
somewhat famous case is the
award on September 10Th, by a
jury verdict, of 1880 damages
to George w. Lucke, against the
Clothing Cutters and Trimmers'
Assembly, No. 1907, of the
knights of Labor. The history
of the case may be briefly stated
as follows:
Lucke was a clothing cutter of
special skill-a sort of artist in
that line-employed about two
years ago by one of the leading
establishments of Baltimore. AS
he was not a member of the labor
union, that body sent a delega-
tion to his employers demanding
his discharge and threatening
that if this demand was refused,
the name Of the house would be
removed from the directory OF
"union" business concerns-in
plain words, the house would be
boycotted.
The employers dared not risk
this injury to their business, and
Lucke himself, in order to re-
move the pretext for the threat,
applied for membership in the
labor union. If he had been ad-
mitted, and the difficulty had
thus been smoothed away, prob
ably nothing would have been
heard of the case by the public.
1t would have passed, like hun
dreds of similar cases occurring
every day, in which the walking
delegate dictates terms to help
less employers and contractors.
But Labor" was not satisfied in
this case, with ordinary victory.
Lucke was refused admission to
the union, under some technical
pretense not involving any fault
on his part; and the persecution
of him was continued until he
lost his place. Thus brought to
bay, and not permitted even to
surrender, he turned upon his
enemies and sued the union for
damages.
The first suit failed, practically

The fair, generally, will be
a "Simon Pure" old fashioned
country fair, with up-to-date and
novel attractions. While the
exact features cannot vet be an
nounced, it may be said that
among them will probably be
speed contests on an Illuminated
track, including bicycle, auto
mobile, Roman chariot and stand
ing races, as well as running,
trotting and pacing exhibitions;
there will be a magnificent Rom

ANOTHER BIG SHOW
FOR LOUISVILLE.
Louisville lntertate Fair TO be Held in
the Fall.

The Louisville Interstate Fair,
which is to be held in Louisville
September 23d to October 5th
next, under the auspices of the
Louisville Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association, and the
Kentucky Live Stock Breeders
Association, promises to be Amer
ica's grandest exhibit of live
stock and farm products. The
executive Committee have de-
cided that the fair shall take
place on Churchill Downs, the
spacious, thoroughly equipped
and accessible grounds of the
New Louisville Jockey Club,
where thousands attended the
successful race season just closed.
Everything possible will be done
for the safety and comfort of
visitors. The nominal admission
charges, together with very low
railroad and steamboat passen-
ger rates, will certainly do much
to increase the volume of attend
ance, while the offers of large
premiums and cheap shipping
rates will draw exhibitors in un-
precedented numbers.
The cattle show will be par
ticularly fine and extensive, and
will be held during the first week
of the fair, from September 23d
to September 2Sth, both inclu-
sive, under the direction of
the Kentucky Live Stock Breed
ers Association, and during the
week there will be mammoth
sales of live stock, including
beef and dairy cattle, horses,
jacks, mules, sheep and swine.

vention was called to order by
County Chairman Harvey at l :3O
p. m. After a prayer by Rev.
Mackey, the chairman stated the
purpose of the convention and
called for nominations for tenn
porary chairman and secretary.

While the several committees
were celebrating rousing speech
es were made by several dele
gates. The assembly was in ex-
cellent spirits and repeated ap-
plause shook the building to its
foundations.
The reports of the several
committees were read and ap-
proved by vote. The committee
on Credentials reported no con-
tests. The fact that the report
of the committee on Resolutions
was adopted without a dissenting
voice was noteworthy, as settling
once for all the stand that the
party has taken with regard to
local issues. Below is the report !:
"Your committee beg leave to
report the following resolutions !:
1--WE approve the call for this
convention; we declare that pub
lie office is a public trust, and
civil officers are servants of the
people. Our officers should be
sober, discreet, moral, competent
and of good demeanor. True
merit should be the test of fitness
for Office. We are opposed to
ring rule and machine methods.
The voice of the people should be
heard and their rights respected
and interests protected.
"We favor law and order,
prosperity and progress. The
officer and citizen should use ev-
cry effort to advance the material
interests of our county and to
secure the peace, good order and
happiness of the people. We are
opposed to stirring up strife be-
tween classes dependent upon
each other. We should not array
man against man for we are all
brothers. Capital and labor
should both be protected and be
made to respect the rights of
each other. We favor progress
sive enterprises, active capital
and honest, Industrious working
men. We have no patience with
the man who wants to be out of
a job. County government
should be faithfully and econom-
ically administered in the inter-
ests of the whole people. We
invite all good citizens to arise
above a narrow partisanship and
to vote and act with conscience
and judgment and to stand up
for Hopkins county.

Inc annual meeting OF the
Kentucky Press Association at
Madisonville, which convenes in
Madisonville, says the Courier
journal, is expected to be one of
the greatest meetings of the as
sociation since its organization
thirty-two years ago. The Mad
isonville people are making great
preparations for the entertain
+ ment of the newspaper people,
and there will be no end to the
hospitality to be displayed. The
first session will be held at
the Morton Opera-house, one of
the finest places of amusement
in the South. 1t was recently
built by Will Morton, a young
banker, with a pencnant for ar
chitecture, who made all the
plans and supervised the con-
struction himself. This meeting
will be in the nature of a
"jolly" for the visitors. There
will be speeches of welcome, re-
sponses, music and some literary
numbers on the program.
On Friday morning there will
be a business session, followed by
an excursion to darlington, where
the mines will be inspected and
where luncheon will be given
in honor of the scribes and their
ladies.
In 1878, twenty-three years
ago, tie association met at Hop
kinsville, and similar excur-
sion was given, which association
history records as being one of
the most pleasing entertainments
ever given in its honor. Earl
ington bids fair to outdo its for
mer success.
Upon the return to Madison
vile in the afternoon, there will
be business session and a drive
about the city. In the evening
a reception will be given in
honor of the guests.
The number who will 60 on
the Western tour is far in excess
of the expectations of Secretary
r. E. Morningstar, so he has
been compelled to change the
time of departure from Madison
vile to 9:30 o'clock instead of
IL IL p. m. Mr.. j. Fl. Ringgold,
of the L. & N. railroad, rendered
the association a special engine
to take the the train to st. Louis
from Madisonville, consequently
there will be special train of
Pullman cars to leave at $3.50 p.
m. This will make the reception
shorter, but there is no alterna-
tive. This special train will arrive
at st. Louis 6 a. m. and the party
will be met by the Publicity Com
mittee of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. Just what program
this committee will follow has
not been made known, but there
is no doubt that the three hours
will be spent in manner pleas
ing to the tourists.
The departure from st. Louis
will be taken at 8 o'clock in the
morning over the Missouri Pa
cific, arriving at Jefferson City
for dinner and at Kansas City for
supper. No attempt will be made
at sightseeing in these two
cities. After the short stop at
Kansas City, the party will ar
rive at Horace, Col, for break
fast on Sunday morning and at
Pueblo for dinner. Here the
Denver and Rio Grande tax es
the train and reaches Denver at
$40 p. m.

ture from Salt Lake Friday at 3
p. M, will end the busy stay
there. The return trip will be
made direct with the exception
that three hours will be spent in
st. Louis on August IL.
