| prietary articles of all kinds. Some arc
good, some are bad, some harmless, while
others possess little or no medicinal prop
erty. The sale of Blood Wine" has
been developed purely on its merits, for
the manufacturers have always held
aloof from advertising, believing that TO
thus present it might prejudice the minds
of some, as there are people who think
that any advertised medicine is ''quack

ton; in fact, ono of the most potent of

which grows like Il vine and bears Il
small white flower. once in the grass
it is almost impossible to eradicate it.
Some lawns have been ploughed to get
rid of this weed. Its origin has puZ-

theory is that it was introduced in

the unsuspecting who planted it,

Mr. Joseph 3. Long OF Philadelphia
takes particular delight in a little
joke which be porpetrates upon every
hotel clerk he meets. Yesterday he
sprung IL at the National. Walking up
TO the once counter In the most limo
cent manner imaginable, he asked:
where do llve?" The clerk
glanced at him. and perceiving that he
meant the number Of his room. turned
the register and began scanning the
closely-filled page. 'Why-er--er.
you-er belong in room number--''
Number 1922" interrupted Mr. Long.
picking out a room number on the
register opposite the name OF a man
named Jones. Yes. 3.s that's IT. said
the clerk suddenly You're Mr..

on 81, 600, unless the raise is reduced
by the state board. The reason of this
boost is that the assessment has not
boen made to include everyone who
owns property. II may be that those
who have been assessed have been
equitsbly assessed, but it is those who
have been missed that has cut down
the assessment and neoessitated the
state boards raising it. Fayette coun-
ty, in which Lexington is located, is
assessed at about $4,000, 900, while
McCracken, with Paducah, city
about as large as Lexington, and de-
cidedly more important as manufac-
turing and wholesale center, is assess
ed at only 100000. The state
board naturally thinks that while
some difference because of the dispar-
ity of land values in the section
might be expected, the difference as
shown in the assessment is too great.
The lesson the people have to learn
from this is that everybody should be
fairly assessed. II would decrease
every mans individual taxes. and at
the same time make the total assess
ment larger. The increase in valua-
tion imposed by the state board under
present assessments means that in
stead of every man paying his just
taxes, every man who is assessed will
now pay still more taxes, while per-
haps his neighbor has escaped the as
SCISSOR entirely, and is not paying
any.

ed at the start to pollute federal
elections as well as all others. The
time to fight them is at the outset.
Rhea and Butler are at liberty to go
back to the swindling election laws
and try them again, but unless Goe-
belism and Nesbitism work as before
they will be left at home.
At the election in 1900, Rhea re-
ceivcd, according to the Goebel poll
and count, $500 votes, and Moss
1884 votes. Moss is said to be an
independent Democrat, but that is i'm
material. II was the Goebel law that
pulled Rhea through, and that has also
pulled him out. Candidates should
not forget the reflex action of swindl-
ing election laws While they may
tickle degraded party and rascal
in politics for while, the final taste
is bitter. In his valedictory Rhea
denounced Moss as "a poor, miserable
creature" No doubt he considers
Goebelites to be superior persons, just
as the Nesbit law bunko gang in Mis-
souri, refer to themselves as that
same fine breed" They can not
make their pretensions go in Repub-
lican congress. Republicans are for
honest elections and constitutional
suffrage.

oFFENDs THE woR-
THY GoEBELITE.

THY GoEBELITE.
Mr.. f. Hopkinson Smith, the
author, has mortally offended the jail
er at Uovington in an article in the
Cosmopolitan in which the jailer's
friends complain ne was lampooned
and Jail roasted. In the dispatches
sent out from Covington it is declared
with woefal severity that Mr.. Smith
visited the Jail two years ago, and saw
q number of mooonshiners. One Of
these, a woman with a babe, had just
been freed, and Smith gave her money
so she could return to her home in
Pineville. In his story Smith repre-
sents the Covington Jail, which is
proudly claimed by the jailer to be
the cleanest in the state, as a filthy
place, where prisoners are locked in
like wild beasts. His first sentence
descriptive of the interior Of the Jail
is: 1--WE stood now on the rim of the
crater, looking straight into the in
ferno."
He represents that the white woman
with her sick baby was locked up in
the same cell with a negress arrested
for murder. Finally he has written
description of County Jailer John
Maurer which is said to be--by the
Goebelites-more Of lampoon than a
pen portrait.
Maurer, who was one Of Goebel's
right hand men, aud who is probably
according TO the Goebelites-the
most popular man in the county, is de-
picted as error-inspiring and hard
hearted.
Jailer Maurer is not being urged
to go ON the stage or run for re-
election, but to sue the author and
publishers. OF course a man who
was zone of Goebel's right hand
men" could be guilty of nothing like
the above, but the public must take Its
choice between the statements of Mr..
f. Hopkinson Smith, the disinterest-
ed author, and Jaller Maurer, the
very much interested jailer.

RAWLINGS ABOUT CAEsARIsM.
Globe Democrat.

Colonel watterson has got 'em"
again. "Once again in the White
House." he says, I'VE have the man
on horseback. The colonel says
the President has turned down the
heads of the army and navy, and that
he is trying to get an army reorgani-
zation bill passed which will make
him a dictator or a car. From the
present looks. of things. as the Ken
lucky colonel sizes up the situation,
the American people are about to have
Santa Anna or a Nicholas 1. And
the worst of it is, too, there is no way
of heading off this eruption except by
placing the Democratic party in pow
er. which is contingency that even
the exuberant colonel is unable to see
heaving in sight.
II is now something like thirty
years since wild New York paper
started out to Try to make itself be-
lieve that there was man IN the
White House who was plotting to
make a military despot of himself,
and to upset the republic. According
to that journal President Grant was
going to have himself elected for life,
and then when he got the presidency
in his hands for good he was going to
make the office hereditary. There
were some silly persons in the country
who believed this folly. They believ-
ed it even after the party which elect
ed Grant two terms nomina ted and
elected Hayes to succeed him.
Once more there are bowls of
HCaesarism'' and imam on horse
hack" OF course Colonel Wstterson
does not believe what he asys. but
there may be few feaiherheads in
the country now, as there were thirty
years ago. who imagine that the repub-
lie is in peril. Those persons, as the
vote of 1872 showed, comprised only a
small part of the American people
They comprise much smaller part to-
day. The only time the republic was
in danger was when, something like
forty years ago, the Democratic party
was trying to divide it in the middle
and to set up in its southern half a
government based on slavery. There
was real "Caesarism" at that time,
the Democracy furnishing the Caesars.
There were linen on horseback" in
those days, but the American people
eventually put them down. The raw
inRs about dictstors and czars at the
present time does not even delude the
persons who are doing the raving.
