In my opinion the state should
erect an asylum or institution for the
care of this class of criminals. They
are net wanted in the penitentiaries.
Their place is not in the asylum as

to create constant trouble unless kept

What the state needs is place

Louisville, Dec. 27.-Henry Waiter

permit the enlargement of the terri
tory OF the United States and the ac-

1T will be but a little while as the
lives Of nations go, when, with the
mighty strides made by the expanding
population and resources of the United
States, Germany will occupy, in the
balance of power, about the place now
occupied by Holland. England holds
her vast colonial system by a rope OF

States-towers already giant amons

Never in years has the traffic on
the railroads during the holiday seas

estimated that between 10000 and 49,
600 left the city to visit over the holi-
days at points far and near. The re-
duced rates which were given by the
railroads were an inducementsoioin5

many of the people Wednesday and
Thursday the depots were crowded
with people awaiting the arrival of
trains, most most of which were de-

snow.
Friday morning the local ticket
agents had amusing experiences with
people who thought the holiday rates
were still being given by the railroads.
In some cases it took very convincing
to make the skeptical be-
lieve that rates were not beng given
every day until New Years.

HOPED To LAUNCH
BOOM FOR OLNEY
Western Democrats Disap-
pointed Because He Has
Declined TO Attend
Banquet.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 27.-Democratic
leaders here are visibly disappointed.
An invitation was extended by the
Jacksonian club of Omaha to the Hon.
Richard Olney. of Massachusetts. to
speak at the Jacksonian club banquet
to be held here January 8. but the
former secretary of state has declined.
1t was hoped that the banquet, for
which great preparations are being
made, would more than rival the
harmony" banquet held in New York
City at which Hill and Cleveland were
brought together and which w. j..
Bryan did not attend It is no secret
that 1t was also the hope of Demo
cratic leaders that the banquet would
signalize the launching of p"csiden-
tial boom for Olney, in whom Demo-
Gratis of both factions here believe
will be found candidate who can
harmonize all conflicting interests and
who will prove drawing card against
the Republican ticket
Olney's attitude during the Vcnezu-
elan affair Of the Cleveland a6minis-
tration has been recollected in tie
present imbroglio in progress In the
South American states. His own per-
sonality, his definite and clearly ex-
pressed views on the subject Of reci-
procity and his defined policy as re-
CARDS trusts have served to soften the
feeling which his known prediction
for the gold standard raised in silver
coated hearts.
However, although Olney will MT
attend, the banquet will be sufficiently
notable to attract national attention.
Among the speakers who are sched-
nled, although acceptances have not
yet been received from all Of them,
are Bryan, Tom L. Johnson. of Cleve-
land, Bird S. Coler, of New York, J.
Hamilton Lewis. of Washington, AMI
former Attorney General C. ]. Smythe,
Of Nebraska. Others of prominence
have been sent invitations. but as
much doubt exists as to their accent
ancc their names have been withheld
by the committee.

new STAMPS FOR
FOREIGN MAIL
Canton Postoffice Orders Sup
ply Of the latest--Another
New Design Coming.

What will no doubt prove happy
medium in the explanation of lost
mail to the superstitious is the new
13 cent stamp which has recently been
issued by the government. A supply
of these stamps has been ordered by
the Canton postoffice and in few
days they will be on sale here. They
are intended especially for foreign use
on registered letters, the 13 cents in
cluding the price of registration and
regular postage.
Another new stamp is the five cent
stamp which will be put on the mar
ket after New Years. The postoflice
department has just approved
the design and work has been
commenced on the new stamp in the
engraving and printing bureau.
1t is said that the new five cent stamp
will have more history on it and con-
vey more feeling of sectional union,
than any other ever printed.
This new letter-carrier is expected
to further obliterate the old sectional
feeling between the North and South.
The central oval of the stamp will
bear the image of Abraham Lincoln
as he appeared during the historic war
period, while on each side of the oval
will be female figures representing
the North and the South. Over the
head OF the famous war president they
will clasp hands, each supporting a
palm branch and bearing draped
American flag.
