there; and they arc inclined to help keep it there.
 see that in an election in Huntsville yesterday the people voted to keep the capital in Montgomery and not to move 1t to Birmingham. We don't want the capital here. We have no room for it. We are too busy about here making ma terial things of value that are saleable for the upbullding and development of this country.
 The Montgomery people, if they are so anxious to hold the capital. should do about and expend little money in build ing flrst-class hotel No place needs an up-to-date hotel so much. There Is plen- ty of money in Montgomery and a bit of 1t should be used in that direction.
 Ex-President Cleveland has a remark able article in this weeks edition of the Saturday Evening Post on "The Uses of Adversity" In 1t MT. Cleveland tells the story of his own life and how persever- ence made him. He tells that as boy he had no money-no way-to possess him self of an education. He relates how, aft CT persistent efforts, he was turned loose to browse In the library of law office. He knew his career had then begun and all the Kings horses could not draw him away from it." He tells how he was con sidered stubborn then, but says in his case there were some symptoms of self reliance and perseverance," He admits that there was slight trace of stubborn ness and adds that after this point had gained him fair rewards at the bar and he had become President of the United States he was still called stubborn and is even accused of stubbornness to this very day.
 The article Is rather a remarkable one and Is worthy of close reading by every young man.
 Some of us may not agree with MT. Cleveland in his political views, but all men admit that he Is a man of great power and force, and regardless of his politics will always stand out conspicu- ously in the history of this country.
 Speaking of persistence among success full men, I have been rather impressed with the statement of Charles N. Schwab. the head of the great Morgan steel and iron combination.
 He is yet a young man and a very wealthy man. He attributes his success to self-reliance declaring self-reliant manliness to be manhood in its noblest form.

Presidential Possibilities.

David Bennett Hill and James Ham, ilton Lewis is a ticket put forward for 1904 by the slatemakers. As neither of the men is able to demon strate that he can carry his own State. it is safe to say that the slatemakers will be ignored.
 The Democrats want two men who can carry their own States to begin with, and this is why no one can name the Democratic nominees of 1904. In the elections of next year men will be brought out who can carry something. If Mir. Hill can beat Governor Odell next year. he becomes at once a Pres idential possibility, but if he permits Governor Odell to succeed himself he is as dead as Hectors He cannot lead the Democratic hosts. And so it is with MT. Lewis. There is no evidence that he can carry the State of Wash ington. There is much that he can not.
 Men who cannot carry their own States should stand aside. They are not wanted. Men who can carry some. thing are needed. In Illinois or h. diana or Ohio or New York or even in Pennsylvania or Nebraska two men may come out of next years general elections who can show beyond doubt that they have their States behind them- These are the men Democracy

'fEerly in lifc." he savs. 1T made rp sy mind to make myself indispensable IT, stead Of continually looking at the clock. Employers appreciate men who may be5 trusted to do their work as If they were working for themselves"
 Mir. Schwab says e man must be wide awake and up-to-date. and he adds. :. "There were never so many opportunities for the right Siad Of young men as TO- day"
 Instead of trusts and combinations ss they are being organized today interfer- ing with the advancement of young men, they gre presenting great opportunities Salaries are larger and young men have better advantages to rise in the manage ment of industrial affairs. Take, for in stance. case right here fin Birmingham. Mir Bacon, who has recently been made chairman of the executive committee of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company in charge of it's practical affairs, was but q few years ago foreman in an iron concern at a small salary. Today, I un- derstand, he gets a salary of s30,000 year from the Tennessee Company. He worked up to this by persistence and by display of good judgment and management. Such opportunities are open to every young man possessed of energy, persistence and average intelligence.
 Many men who are wasting their time in politics and devoting thousands ot horse power of energy in that direction would accomplish much more should they direct the same energy in building and developing something material. It looks as if most young men of the present day prefer the footlights of temporary pub licity to persistence in the practical.
 By the way, speaking of iron concern. and men in this section, I observe that MT. J. P. Morgan has announced pub licly that the United States Steel and Iron Corporation does not desire the Ten nessee company Thus the Birmingham is also gratifying to know that MT 3a. con announces that even with it's made. quate equipment the company is earning 6 per cent on its common stock. At this rate and with the development MT. Ba- con proposes I see no reason why the Birmingham district should not enjoy ths greatest possible degree of prosperity and plenty.

 Let the men who want to go on a Presidential ticket show next year what they can do in their own States. Here's the rub. It is good and proper test, and the Democratic hosts will act wisely if they stand firmly by it. Old party hacks who canot meet this test need not apply.

Wonderful Industrial Plants.

Could there be anything more remark able in natural formation than this?' said Capt. w. H. Graves, in showing his coal thinning and brick plants just be- yond North Birmingham, to a party of visitors yesterday.
 Here is the opening to the mine that is producing over two hundred tons of cok- ing and steam coal daily; here the tipple and the railroad; here the shale quarry here the brick manufacturing plant, with a capacity of nearly SO,O0O brick a day, the dry kiln, and the burning kilns, and two artesian wells, all grouped around the mine opening, and not one more than two hundred feet apart. I have never seen such formation anywhere. The shale from which we make the finest pressed brick is absolutely devoid of grit and makes the finest of red brick. l have invested $50.OOO in this brick plant, and believe it to be the most perfectly equipped in the South.'
 Indeed Captain Graves has a wonderful property, just developed, with prospects of tremendous financial possibilities It is the model of it's kind of the county.

SCHOOLS AND POLITICS.

The success of the Teachers In
stitute last week was greatly i'm
paired by a political move made ir
the closing hours, which resulted IN
the adoption Of a resolution endors'
ing the Republican combine candi'
date for school superintendent,
Miss Katie Mcdaniel, who was the
official head of the Institute. AT
the time the resolution was sprung,
only three or four Democratic voters
we're present, most of the teachers
having gone home. The few Demo.
Gratis presents voted against the
resolution and one of them protest
ed against the bad taste of running
the schools into politics, but the
resolution was put through as plan
ned.
Viewed from the standpoint Of
proprety, we believe this partisan
action will prove more hurtful than
beneficial to the combine leaders.
The people OF the county are not
ready to have the schools of the
county dragged into the mire of pol
it.cs They are not ready TO APP
prove the machine methods of the
ring that would lower the teachers
institute to the level of a political
convention. We doubt very Sc
riously if Miss Mcdaniel approves
this very unwise attempt to max Il,
her the beneficiary Of such a step,
and commit her to this policy in the
conduct of her Office. If the teach
ers of the county, who are paid to
instruct the children of Democrats
as we'll as Republicans, are to owe
their positions to the Potentially of
a political pull and are to be mere
cog-wheels in the Republican Ma
chine that has caused split in its
owD party by it's corrupt methods,
then the people of the county are
entitled to know it. The KENTUCK-
IAN has no feeling of hostility
towards Miss Mcdaniel. She is
well qualified for the position she
fills and as teacher and as an
official stands high enough not 10
need such methods to promote her
interests. Her greatest element of
| popularity has been the fact that
she as a woman was not supposed
to be a Republican politician and
that in the February primary she
was left off the combine slate, and
could lay claim to having been hon
estly nominated To take her can
d dacy from this lofty plane and
strap it to the corpse of the Court
House ring, is the worse thing that
could happen to her.
Miss Mcdaniel for years held a
position in the city schools by the
votes of Democratic trustees. In
the p years the city schools have
been established, there has never
been a time when Democrats did
not control all appointments, and
there has never been a time when
the superintendent and fair pro.
portion of the teachers were not Re.
publicans. Politics has never beer
injected into the management of the
city schools, controlled by Demo
Gratis, and it should not be the case
with the county schools controlled
by Republicans.
If this is TO be the future policy il
Christian county, let the issue bt
openly made aud give the people Z
chance to be heard upon it at The
polls.
