INCREASED ALLOWANCE FOR PRISONERS.
Kent County Levy Court Acts FavOrabIy on
the Report of Sheriff Frank Reedy.

Kent Levy Court Thursday took up
the matter of increasing the sheriffs
fee for the board of prisoners. Sher-
itf Reedy was called before the court
and explained that the fee, some
years ago, was As cents per man per
day; that, now in the adjoining county
of Caroline County, Maryland, the
sheriff at Denton was getting 20 cents.
Soon after Sheriff Shaw, Republican,
assumed the office at Dover, a Demo
cratic Levy Court cut his fee for the
board of prisoners to 20 cents, claim
ing that prisoners could be served we'll
and profitably for that sum. Sheriff
Reedy explained that while that mifht
have been true then, it was not true
now. Potatoes, that could be bought
then for 90 cents per basket, now cost
50 and so cents. Pork could be pur-
chased then for 5 and 6 cents per
pound; it now costs 10 and IL cents.
Wheat, 55 and go cents then, is now
81; corn could be had for 30 to so
cents then, now costs70 cents. A prison
housing a large number of prisoners
might afford to its inmates for 25 cents,
the fee now allowed the Dover Sher-
iff, but where the prisoners number
less than 100, sometimes much less, il
could be well done.
The court decided to increase the fee
from 25 to 30 cents. Sheriff Reedy ex-
planned afterward that he might make
money on appointing deputies and
running in tramps from all sections OF
the county, but he is opposed to hunt
ing up vagrants and housing them in {
penal institution at county expense.

THE DEMOCRATIC REVIVAL.
Henry WattersOn, of Kentucky, Wants More
Business ia Politics.

eve Democrats" observes Henry
Watterson, ''must get away from Wis
ionary and theorizing politics, and ad
dress ourselves to the business of the
country.
"We have had surfeit of extremism
and sentimentality. We Live in a
country where, there being neither
rank nor titles, business considera-
tions are bound to prevail. Let us
meet the claim that the Republican
party is the only true representative of
business interests by exposing the fall
lacies of that pretention, and by show
ing the merits of our own system"
When one of two great parties for
feits public confidence by failing to
present practical methods-when it
wanders off after sentimental dreams,
instead of dealing with facts as they
are-then the result is bad for the Ma
tion. The people are left without
choice. One party monopolizes the
power Deprived of an intelligent op-
position, it tends to degenerate. Its
poorer elements are able to gain infu
ence. and to exert it with impunity.
The tendencies in the Republican
party, of which Mr.. Watterson chiefly
complains, are due to lack of intelli
gent Democratic opposition. If Mr.
Waterson can restore that opposition
If he can but lead his own party bacl
to concrete issues and practical meth
ods-he will do his country great ser
vice. The United States needs TIVE
parties which the people can trust.

called upon to reply to a toast. Recov-

IMPROVE KENT COUNTY ROADS.
Expenditures For the Year Will Cost thI
County Over Twenty Thousand Dollars.

NOHhfy WV AWNhhy hhOuoauu
The matter of permanent improve
ment of the roads of this county came
up before the Levy Court last week in
connection with the election of road
overseers, nearly 2OO of whom were ap-
pointed to serve for the ensuing year.
Levy Courtman Powell, Democrat,
stated that it would cost the county
$1,000 to make the road repairs which
have been mapped out. This is an in
crease of about $4,000 over the cost OF
last year and the year previous. The
contention of the grangers who appear.
ed before the court by committee
William Pheiger, AN. Brown and A.
W.Slaymaker-was that enough mon
ey was being spent upon the roads tc
insure thoroughly satisfactory pub.
lie road system, but they objected tC
what they termed ''haphazzarC
methods" in expending the appropi
alton and the actual doing of thu
work.

PROFANITY PROHIBITED.

Hot Springs, Nov. 13.-Constable Sam H. Tate has promulgated the fol- lowing:
 "Henceforth I intend to arrest per sons guilty of the use of profane or vulgar language on the streets or in the presence of others to the annoy ance of the public. There is statute in full force and effect making this habit misdemeanor and finable, and while this statute has heretofore been practically dead letter for lack of enforcement, I intend hereafter to bring offenders to punishment, and have so instructed my deputies. Numerous complaints have reached me of ladies having been annoyed and insulted by being compelled in pass ing along our streets to hear the foul est profanity and vilest vulgarity from men who seem to have no regard for their own decency nor respect for the ladies or others. I feel it to be my official duty as an officer of the law to do what l can to abate this public nuisance by enforcing the law against 1t, and intend to do so, but wish to give those addicted to the habit fair warning.o

 This is the first Minstrel Company in the United States to appear under canvas. MT. Allen is the originator of the idea. The interior of his tent is arranged with a mammoth stage and scenery the same as an opera house, but of course on much larger scale. Owing to the large seating capacity of the tent, which is, two thousand, the company is enabled to show for the extremely low price of 15 and 25 cents, thus guaranteeing the largest Minstrel production in the world at the lowest price of admission.

UNPRECNDENTED CAR FAMINE.

This problem is nothing more nor less than a power and car famine, the like of which even the oldest railroad man in the country never dreamed of An estimate by conservative expert traffic men all over the country puts the shortage of cars in excess of the freight offered for transportation as 59,0o0, and there is no relief in sight for the next six months or perhaps the next year

NEW DEPOT OCCUPIED.

Notwithstanding Thursday was the thirteenth of the month and Agent Reamey was somewhat superstitious in this regard, the iron Mountain pass enger office was on that afternoon moved into the recently completed and handsomely appointed pressed brick depot.
 The telegrapher's table of heavy walnut occupies the large bay window upon the north side and new instru- ments have been installed, that give to the whole interior finished and neat appearance. Both ticket offices and waiting rooms are amply com modious and the beautiful woodwork to -gether with the newness of every thing that meets the eye, presents scene, that suggests palmier days for the traveller, who has to wait for de- layed trains.
 Nothing could hardly be suggested to better the appearance, convenience and comfort of the new building, which is well lighted by electricity, though the building has also been pired for gas and the chandeliers con tain gas jets as we'll as incandescent globes. New coal stoves have been purchased for each roem
 The new depot is a source of pride to Newport, whose people are very anxious that it's beauty be retained by constant care and attention. And that the buns, who usually loiter about such places and by their filth and stench soon ruin these waiting rooms, be given to understand the purposes for which depot buildings are constructed. Agent Reamey is energetic and careful in attention to his duties and we are sure he willlook after the proper keeping of his new quarters.

NO RACES AT LITTLE ROCK.

Little Rock, Nov. 13. Capt. c. As Telles, manager of the Arkansas Jockey Club, is in the city from his home at St. Louis. Mir. Telles an nounced just after the close of last spring meeting, that no more races would be given in Little Rock unless the authorities permitted the pool rooms to operate here Since the passage of the Wilson anti- gambling act by the last legislature all the pool rooms in the city have been closed down. Mir. Telles contends that it is necessary for the management to operate pool rooms in order to make up the deficiency in finances sustained by the stockholders at the spring meetings.
 There is little probability, however, that the authorities will permit the pool rooms to reopen as long as the Wilson anti gambling law remains on the statute books.

COIN HARvEY's PROPHECY.

Fort Smith, Nov. 13. w. H. "Coin" Harvey, now a citizen of Benton coun- ty, in an interview here, said:
 ssIf man like D. B. Hill or Presi dent Baer of the Reading coal road, who says he's Democrat, is nom- mated and the party truckles to the money power the Democrats who are Democrats from principle, and they are legion, for the campaign of 1896 opened the eyes of thousands and tens of thousands, are going to stay at home.
 On the other hand, if a man who represents party principles, like Bry- an, for instance, is nominated, then the money influence of the party is going to be turned against it and will support the Republican candidate. And there you are.
 But there isNa way out of it, and it is coming, sooner or later. A corrupt republic can create greater stench than any other corrupt government. I don't pretend to prophecy, but am satisfied that the time will come when a party which combines advanced civilization with politics will come in to power. Until it does, those of us who have been fighting for the princi- pies of the Democracy will have to find comfort in the knowledge that we are in the right.'
