One of the invaders from Kentucky
was Trey Woodson, of Owensboro. editor
and member of the Democratic national
committee. He is a member of the ex-
ecutive committee also, and made a call
at headquarters soon after his arrival.
On this point he would not say a word
to print. He called Mr. Watterson's re-
marks ''vagaries," and he said that two
years ago John r. Mclean introduced
Bryan throughout the state of Ohio as
the greatest living American That was
when Mclean was a candidate for gov
ernor.
Mr.. Woodson said there was a big Re
publican family row IN Louisville over
federal patronage, and as a result the
Democrats, with a solid front, would
sweep the city next fall ana capture the
entire city government.

CHICAGO ELECTION FRAUDS.
Against Twenty-Five
Judges and Clerks.

CHICAGO. Aug. 3-Indictments against
twenty-five judges and clerks of election
for making false canvass and return of
the votes cast last fall for county COM
missioner were returned by the grand
jury today
The charges were brought at the direc-
tion Of Judge Carter, who has caused to
be instituted an investigation into the
conduct of 25O other election officials.
Gross fraud is suspected in certain sec
tons of the city and the Judges and
clerks will be summoned before the cleo
ton commissioners for examination.
In every instance the charge is the
same-that of making false and fraud
ulent canvass and return of the votes
cast at the last November election.
The indicted men are about equally
divided between the Democratic and Re-
publican parties.

Within the last few days a
band of colones from Kentucky has
stolen into Illinois by way of Paducah,
the Ohio river and the unprotected water
front near Cairo and penetrated as far
north as Chicago. They came for pleas
ure and that is why they were ready to
talk politics. They brought news of a
lively campaign to elect legislature to
choose a new United States senator and
every colonel was "suah" of a complete
Democratic victory In Kentucky next
fall. In the bright lexicon Of these gen
tlemen, there is no such word as con
servatiye Democrat" A gentleman down
in their country is either a Democrat or
a bolter. And so they say that the new
legislature will nave a Democratic ma
jority of from 25 to 40-"T3 regular all
ready to admit Henry vterson is
very fine gentleman, but u-.y amusing as
a so-called leader of his party
This ample majority will have four can
didates for United States senator to Sc
lect from:

town. the presiding judge who tried all
the Goebel assassination cases, formerly
lieutenant governor.
Charles K. Wheeler congressman from
the First Kentucky district; home,
Paducah.
James B. McCreary. of Richmond; law

Congressman Wheeler is the youngest
of the candidates, but he is rousing
speaker, prepossessing and a leader Of

McCreary puts the whole contest in doubt
There is no issue between the four can

an orator; he would appeal to that large
body of Independent voters, so greatly
increased of late in numbers and pow
er, whose support is so essential to sue
cess In the Eastern states particularly
in New York. Little is heard Of Olney
because he is not given to courting pub
licity, and he is not the nan the leaders
would be most likely to warm to But
in New England his abilities are known
and recognized, and there is a wide
spread undercurrent of genuine enthus-
iasm for him that needs but TO be touch
ed at the right time to assure the coun-
try that his nomination would be logical
and popular.
More and more the feeling prevails tkat
the next fight should be on the tariff
question as the very root of the trust
question. 1t is believed that here IS
common ground for every sort of Demo-
crat, because in it's largest sense the tar
tn-trust question involves the question of
Imperialism as well. 1t is believed that
the ship subsidy bill Will be up again
before congress and Democratic leaders
are anxious to have an undivided Demo-
cratic opposition. TIE New England
Free Trade league Is agitatlng the tariff
question throughout the country and
making a vigorous tract fight on the
trusts The great rush of American
business to the far East to compete with
the world in the markets of the Orient
will be urged as a practical Illustration
of the fallacy of protection.
The Republicans confess that they see
very little hope for overturnmg Tam
many Hall at the coming municipal elec-
tion in Greater New York. One of Thomas
G. Platt's rlght-hand men made the
statement last week that the out ook was
for a divided fight against Tammany
with no greater hope Of success than be-
fore.
Strangely enough it s the Independent
vote in New York that assures Tam
many of success. The Independent Re-
publicans will not support the machine
made candidate, while the politicians
would rather see the Democrats win than
to help elect member Of what they
dub the kid glove" set. They classed
Seth Low as such because he refused
to make any promises of patronage. Pat
rcnage is the end and means of muni-
cipal campaign as they see it, and they
refuse to lend their support to any other
style of politics. This is almost word
for word as it was given by lead ng
Platt Republican.

Editorial Comment.
Some Industrial Opportunities
Of Porto Rico.
Horse Breeding, etc.

Although strong and hardy ponies may
be raised in Porto Rico, there are no spe,
cial offerings in horse breeding, as the
same or a Detter strain of saddle ponies
may be bred on The western plains of the
United States at an almost nominal ctst,
because of the free and richly grassed ran
ges and climate specially favorable to
the horse.
The climate OF the mountainous districts
is too warm and too wet here for sheep to
thrive. Goats of course do we'll, as indeed
that adaptable animal does almost any
where.
Hog raising on right lines could be
made to pay for the home sale as pork is
q favorite flesh of the markets and brings
good prices. Only kind of razo. back is
common, forlorn animal whose precarlous
hold on lite depends upon the accidents Of
a predatory and adventurous career. 1t is
believed the native stock is fairly good and
with proper care breeding and food could
be made good meaters. Well managed
piggeries with modern abbatoirs and smoke
houses could not fail to be pr ftable.

Monks Secret Of
Hidden Treasure.
Enriches A Student.

A young student was recently looking
over an old manuscript in the library at
Vienna when suddenly his eyes fell on
passage which startled him considerably.
Over and over again be read it, and finally
he took ont his notebook and copied it word
for acord.
In this passage the writer of the manu-
script, who was apparently an old monk,
said that large treasure Of gold and silver
had been hidden in convent in Galicia.
He described the location of the convent,
and told in what part of it the treasure had
been concealed. He wrote, indeed, as
though he himself had been an eye so:tness
of the occurrence.
Confident that the old monk had not told
fairy tale, but the actual truth, the young
student went at once to the Cardinal
Archbishop Of Lemberg and asked him il
he would be legally entitled to halt of the
treasure in case he should be 80 fortunate
as to find it. The Cardinal replied that he
would, and that evening the young man
started for Galicia.
In due time he arrived at the convent,
and after brief search he found the trea-
sure. 1t consisted of large pile Of gold
and silver, and it is said to be worth as
least 2,5O0,000 francs. Half of it, it ID
claimed, belongs by right to the Church,
but the other half will surely be awarded
to the lucky student.
