REPUBLICAN HOPES.

Encouraged by the split in the
Democratic party Chat seems in
evitable from the attempt of con-
siderable faction to bolt the party 5
principles Of government, violate
the time-honore ed rules and estab-
lish political oligarchy) the Re-
publicans are growing more and
more confident of overcoming the
Beckham majority of two votes to
the precinct in 1900. This is shown
by the numerous candidates for the
Republican nomination for Cover;
nor, who are already letting thier
aspirations be known.
Collector Jas. Denton, of Dan
Vile, the legatee of Yerkes and the
national administration candidate,
is already announced.
Attorney Gen. c. ]. Pratt has
been until recently looked upon as
sure to be the nominee, as 1t is con-
ceded that he is 5000 votes stronger
in Western Kentucky than any
other Republican. 10 fact his nom
nation would make the Second dis
trict probably Republican and all
Western Kentucky doubtful should
there be any faint on the title of the
Democratic candidate.
Judge Geo DuRelle, who came
within 200 votes of defeating
Judge Barker, in Louisville, is also
a probable candidate. He claims
that he could easily carry Louis
Vile on a full vote and with an or
gained effort, which was not made
this year.
Judge Jas. Breathitt, of Hopkins
vile. is known to have guberna
torlal aspirations. Judge Breath
lit is one of the ablest speakers in
Kentucky and be would be a dan
gerous candidate for the Democrats
to oppose. He has personal
knowledge of the scandals and
crimes that have characterized
that part of the Beckham admins
tration located IN this county, as he
was one Of the Board of Commits
sioners Of the Western Asylum who
refused to serve under the officials
retained in office.
EX-Treasurer Geo. w. Long is
another prospective candidate, who
may be considered a possibility.
Judge c. F. Burnam, of the Court
Of Appeals, and even Senator De-
Doe are also permitting themselves
to be placed in the list of eligibles.
One thing is certain-the Repub-
Leans are preparing to nominate
their strongest man, whoever he
may be.

There is more or less talk about
the "old time Democratic majority
of $4,000" in the last election. OF
this majority $4,000 was the vote of
D. H. Smith, who had no opposition.
The other $4,000 was obtained in a
total vote of 288,0O0 out of about
100000 votes in the State. The
10000 absent voters must be reck.

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. J. Cheney &
Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from ! 0

EFT TuLAURENTIUs?

The Cadiz Record is one of the
few papers in Western Kentucky
that sees nothing wrong in the at
tempt to machinize the Democratic
party, by Beckham and his appoin-
tees. 1t even iusti6es the usurpa.
ton of authority by his partisahs
on the committee. We agree with
the Record that the committee is
composed of good men, men of honor
aud reputation. All of them are
our personal friends, but they have
been misled and influenced in this
matter to act without regard to the
wishes of their constituents. Take
the committeeman from the First
district for instance He went TO
Frankfort not knowing what he
was for. Two Of the three candl-
dates in his district were opposed
TO a primary election. Every paper
in his district save his own, the
Cadiz Record and perhaps two 9th
ers was the same way. HIS people
are practically unanimous for the
candidates whose interests he voted
against, and yet this committeeman
fell into the hands OF the. steering
committee and wound 10 as one of
the three men on the Banking Com
mittee, to handle the money of the
candidates to be held up.
We have before said and we now
say, that it is not denied that but
three committeeman were present at
the meeting where the Beckham
manipulators fixed up the whole
thing. 1t was even stated by one
of them before the committeeman
got TO town that We've got it all
fixed to order the primary and lay
the kickers across a barrel and
take a stave to them.
OF course Bro. Lawrence endorses
all of this, for he has been 80
blinded by alteration for Beckham
since he took a meal with him at
Frankfort last winter, that be
stuffed cotton in his ears and put a
bandage over his eyes to keep from
hearing or seeing, when all West
ern Kentucky was in a turmoil of
excitement over the orgy of crime
that broke loose and received exec
utive approval within twenty miles
of Cadiz. We have read 20 word of
disapproval in the Record of gam
bling and crap shooting in official
circles, of RIGHTEOUSNESS and other
forms OF immortality, of the seduc.
ton of female wards of hesitate, Of
the suspicious waste of public
funds, of the scalding of helpless In
valids, the frequent suicides, the
more frequent escapes, the consign-
ment of the dead to the picking
watts and the charges of grating"
that nobody denies. Henry Law
renee is a bright, brainy young fell
low, popular with his people, but he
cannot afford to endorse official cor
ruptlon, or the unwarranted action
Of a committee composed of good or
bad men. Even good men make
mistakes. If the present writer is
nistaken-and the courts will de-
will have the satisfaction
Of knowing that he has erred in
trying to do right, in trying to be
clean and honest in politics, even

The Value of Singing.

ETroi. tn meA'cai sfa 1pa'nt singing
is most important exercise both by
virtue of its influence on the emotions,
on the respiratory movements and on
the development Of the lungs. Nothing
better shows the beneficial effect Of
singing il developing the chest and
warding Off the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development and free
dom from pulmonary disease among
professional singers. Their general
health, moreover, is exceptionally good,
and this is probably in large meas
ure attributable to the mere exercise
Of the calling. 1t is especially useful
In defective chest development and in
chronic heart disease. Provided the
patient can sing with comfort there is
no condition in which singing is con-
traindicated unless it be tendency to
tuberculosis or aneurismal hemoptysis.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
singer should be so clad as to allow
absolute freedom of the chest move
ments, there should be no construction
of the neck or waist, the collar should
be low and ample and the stays, ii
worn ample and loose.

Rocky Autograph Album.

Probably the oldest and most pre-
cious autograph album that has ever
existed lies in an almost unknown cor
ner of western New Mexico.
More than two centuries before our
Saxon forefathers penetrated the des-
ert of the southwest the Spanish pi-
oneers, wandering through those lone
ly wilds, found a rock SO noble and so
remarkable, even in country of Won
derful stone monuments, that they
called it Gel MORO" (The CASTLE.
Wishing to leave some record for fu-
ture generations, they traced with the
points Of their swords their names up
on its rough surface. Those names
are there, with dates of their inscrip-
t1on-in nearly every instance the carly
part Of the seventeenth century.

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
The Spirit of Restlessness and the
Desire For Change.

The Spirit of Restlessness and the
Desire For Change.
Judging by good deal of the con-
versation of the present day, there are
large number of people who have
positive horror of home. This curious
revulsion of feeling Is taken by many
persons as a sign Of social deteriora-
ton. For our own part we find it diff.
cult to take 1t quite seriously or to see
in it anything more than a passing
whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony.
Change is what people desire-not per-
haps any great change, but lots Of
small change; not necessarily for the
better, but for its own sake. Now,
there is great sameness about ones
own four walls, be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpow-
ering desire to look at something else
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day, and neither
they nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter in expression.
Again, there Is terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena-
bles us to foretell the taste Of every
thing at home, from the soup to the sa-
worry If we are rich and from the NUT
ton to the cheese If we are poor;
whereas If we dine at q restaurant
everything down to the salt is differ
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.
Then, again, the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation, and conversation
in the home circle. is sometimes diff
cult and sometimes dull. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks, 1t
is such bad practice for dining out,
and, this being the case it is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially Speaking,
tired of our friends and even of our &C.
| quaintances. We want them to pass
continually before US like street pro-
cession. Instead of that they rather
resemble stage crowd and keep com
ing up again. There is limit to those
we know, limit even to those we
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight, and at restaurant this
latter limit is disregarded. The barrier
of good manners which forbids that
those who are acquainted with one an.
other should speak is sufficient to pro
| tect our station or our dignity, but II
Is not very high fence, and it is one
which it is amusing to look Overflow
