THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF-TH
Church Organized.

The South Henderson Baptist
church was organized Sunday night
at the Harriet Cotton Mills, with II
members. In the afternoon the or
dinance Of baptism was administered
to six persons. Two more were re-
ceived for baptism but sickness pre-
vented their being baptized. They
have neat house of worship but it
yet lacks painting and plastering.
Dr. Hufham conducted the exer-
cises assisted by Rev. K. P. Walker,
the pastor. Mr.. T. NJ. Pittman,
clerk of the Henderson church, was
present and read the necessary docu-
ments, Capt. Shaw, Messrs. c. W.
Williams, A. T. Barnes and others of
the Henderson church being present
also.
Pastor Walker is doing fine work
in this field. He is popular with the
people, full of zeal and interest in
their behalf and everything indicates
a prosperous church.
Mr.. A. T. Barnes is superintendent
of the Sunday-school, in which ca
pacity he has been faithful and effic-
lent. Under his training and direc-
ton gratifying results have been ac-
complished both for the good OF the
| children and the cause of the Master.

GUARDED BY FLOWERS.

A pretty story, which shows an ad-
mirable trait common to almost all
German children, Is told by re-
GENTLY returned traveller.
In Q German city she saw q fine
equestrian statue in bronze, around
the base Of which bloomed a gay
little garden.
The visitor exclaimed with delight
over both the flowers and the statue,
and expressed some wonder that the
blossoms were left entirely unprotect-
ed by either railing or notice.
"In our country am afraid some Of
the children might be tempted to pick
a flower now and then, as this seems
aside from the busy part Of the city,
she said to her German friend.
80, that would never be here. 4" said
the friend in amazement. why the
garden was planted because the child
rem would mount to the back Of the
horse and ride, and the bronze was
getting the wrong sort Of polish; but
when the flowers began to come up
there was no more trouble.
"Our children are very fearful lest
they should hurt any little growing
thing, and they would see the green
n
peeping through the earth and not
take another step toward the tempting
horse.

alize that he has few intelligent or in

Democrats have repudiated the Bryan
idea. So have the Illinois Democrats.
So will the Democrats OF all other
states in which they hope to succeed,

NAY DECLARE 1T OFF
Probable Action as to Quarantine A.
gainst Indiana.
Kentucky Board Of Health, However,
Has No Official Notice.

The suspended smallpox quaran-
tine of Kentucky against Indiana will
most likely be declared entirely off
tomorrow by the Kentucky board Of
health, whose members are convinced
from reports received from other
sources that the Indianians have the
disease under control.
The Kentucky board first ordered
the quarantine to go into effect Sat-
urday, June 1. This action was later
modified, and an extension was given
which was finally prolonged to July
1. In the meantime the Indiana board
has displayed q disposition to stamp
out the smallpox. hence the probabiI-
ity Of lifting the quarantine altogether.

There is little use in investigating
the so-callsd "trusts." The men who
form the gigantic financial combina-
tions are too shrewd to be caught nap

trolling separate and distinct interests
get together and agree to keep prices
up, 1t is q trust" II one man or
dozen men buy up or consolidate a
number Of great interests or indus
tries. and run them rs one man
would buy up a dozen stores and
run them, 1t is no trust within the
meaning Of the law, although it may
have the same deleterious effect.

II is announced that the board Of
special supervisors has reduced the as
sessment of the telephone company
from $50, 600 to $40, 900, because Of
the company ct present furnishing the
city with eight free telephones and
thereby saving them the rental,
amounting to 1884 annually" II this
is true the board Of supervisors has
violated the law, for If the telephone
company has fifty thousand dollars
worth of taxable property in the city,
it should pay taxes on that amount,
and no one has the authority under
the law to release them from cent Of
it. not for the use Of fifty free tele-
phones. II the board of supervisors
did that. 1t can just as easily release
the electric light company from taxa
tion for furnishing the city with lights
free, the gas company for furnishing
free gas, the street car company for
furnishing free transportation and the
banks for loaning the city money to
tide rs over Democratic extrav-
aQancee.

There is no reason why all contract
ors should not be allowed to bid on the

dozen should be permitted to submit
figures, all who desire should. II the
trustees think there is no need to take
bids, and 1t is cut and dried to give
the job to Hopkinsville firm, they
should let the contract without asking
for any, instead of picking few fav-

FINE SHOWING
The Country Is Prosperous to a
Gratifying Degree.
This Is the Close Of the Fiscal Year
Big Surplus Reported.

Washington, June S0-The close Of
the fiscal year tonight will find the
United States treasury in q most
prosperous condition.
Officials who have gone carefully
over the books and who took into
consideration the effect Of the repeal
of the residue of the war taxes find
no occasion to fear an excess Of expen-
ditures over receipts as result Of that
legislation. Accurate figures for the
fiscal year will not DO obtainable for Q
few days after the year ends.
At the close of business Saturday
the total receipts of the treasury
amounted to $3.50, 55s, 9s5.3l and the
total expenditures to s47o,32i, 7s7es,
showing an excess of receipts over ex-
penditures of $50, 232, 1877. so. For the
whole Of the last fiscal year the re-
ceipts were s5s2, $50. $1,000 and the
expenditures s6os, AT, 266.sl. Since
then about half of the war taxes have
been taken of and the expenditures in
connection with the Philippines have
been greatly reduced. The excess OF
receipts over expenditures this year,
however, will exceed thst Of last year.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ISSUES.

The Democrats have adopted as an
issue for the next congressional cam
paign, tariff and the trusts. The reso-
buttons adopted at the recent caucus
condemn the Republican majority for
its failure to pass reciprocity bill for
Cuba. The Democrats are evidently
in favor of enaoting legislation in
favor Of Cuba and the people there, to
whom we owe nothing, to the detri-
ment of our home industries and the
thousands of men who daily make q
livelihood In them. 1t has been con-
clusively shown that the price Of
sugar would not be reduced cent to
the consumer by reciprocity, leaving
the only reason for 1t the aiding of the
Cuban republic at the sacrifice Of the
interests of our own people, which the
Republican party will never be guilty
of.
The Democrats further condemn the
Republicans in congress for their posi-
tion on the trust" question, and de-
Glare that the Republican party is
controlled and dominated" by trusts.
The great hue and cry that is raised
over trusts" these days is . futile
effort to destroy ordinations of cap
ital. The men of capital Of the coun-
try are reasonably the men Of brains
and ability, and men Of brains and
ability naturally, as rule. belong to
the Republican party. This is why
the Republican party is accused Of
being controlled and dominated"
by the trusts" The issues selected
by the Democrats are about all that
they could have selected, and the
Republicans are more than willing
to fight the battle along those lines.
