COMMITTEE COMING.
Strenuous Efforts Being Made
TO Prevent Investigation.
The Board Has Asked an Audience
For a Business Talk About
Asylum Matters.

The Legislative Committee on
Charitable Institutions will next
Tuesday start out on an inspection
tour of the various Asylums of the
State. 1t is not known what day the
committee will visit the Asylum
here, or to what extent it will go
into the investigation of the rotten
ness that has existed in the asy-
lum.
Sworn charges were laid before
the State Inspector and the Cover
nor nearly a year ago, afidavits
being transmitted by the Board Of
Commissioners. AS those endeavor-
ing to cover up the scandals are.
claiming that charges have not
been formally prepared, the conclu-
sion is that the General Assembly
has not had access to the State rec.
o DIS. Within the Ii st few days, the
Board of Commissioners, the entire
board eoncurring, have submitted
printed official report to the Leg
islature, calling attention to the I'M
investigated charges Of immortality,
gambling and waste of public funds.
These charges from the official
board of control are now before the
Legislature. In addition, the Of
fcers of the Board have formally
requested of the visiting committee
an audience, and ii is believed that
the committee will complete the in
vestigation begun by the Christian
county grand jury at the time the
wholesale indictments were return
ed against the appointive officers
last summer.
The most humilating and dis
graceful spectacle ever seen in the
PcNtics of Kentucky, is to witness
the organized and persistent efforts
being made by State officers and
others controlled by them, to keep
in Office confessed gamblers, who
have disgraced themselves and the
Democratic party.
We believe there are enough good
men, clean men and honest men in
the Senate of Kentucky to take a
firm stand against the confirmation
of unworthy men in places Of honor
and trust in the asylums of the
State.
The pardon of Louisville gam
b]ers was bad enough, but it Is a
still worse trial of public patience to
infest the eleemosynary institutions
of the State with men who have
been punished for gambling in the
very walls of the asylum and to ask
Senate of honorable men to place
the stampof approval upon the dis
graceful performance.
These are plain words, but it is
no time to mince words.
When the committee comes next
week, if it means business it can in
two hours find recorded evidence
enough to prove that the Board is
right when it takes it's stand for the
people of Kentucky and against
law-breaking and immortality in the
institution they have sworn to con-
duct, guided only by a sense of duty,
without one cent Of pay, These men
have the confidence and respect of
all classes of people in Hopkins
vile: They represent the best peo-
| pie of the community and some of
them have near and dear friends in
the asylum. They have no motive to
misrepresent, and they have charg-
ed open and fragrant violations of
the law, over their own signatures
Gentlemen Of the %ommittee, it is
up.to you,

ocitlzen" Wants a PARK

Mr.. EDITOR:
I wish to call the attention Of our
city fathers to the old city cemetery
at the West end of Thirteenth
street. Why not turn that into a
city park, as it looks like an old
deserted snake den. If any of our old
pioneers remains ar there remove
them to Hopewell cemetery. The
population of Hopkinsville now de-
mands a city park, and as this
place overlooks some fine country
and scenery. why not turn it into a
park2 Respectfully,
A CITIZEN.

There was a time when the
editor of this paper was as
crazy about William Jennings

most ardent worshipers. We
should still be pleased TO try the
experiment offree coinage at Is to

Of money is needed, and that the
parity of the two metals would
maintain itself or could be easily

but we think William Jennings a
back number, and heartily indorse
the following from the Arkansas
Democrat anent his criticisms of
the harmony meeting and Grover
Cleveland. "Mr- organs criticism
Of ex-President Cleveland is en-.
tirely out Of order. Such q crili-
cism as he INDUCES comes with
poor grace from a man who has
twice led the Democratic party to
defeat. Mr.. Bryan arrogates to
himself the right to say just what
is real Democracy, when as a mat
ter OF fact many Democrats have
often criticised the Bryan brand of
Democracy as being entirely too
Populistic-in fact, so much so
that he lost the election in TWO in.

for Mr.. Bryan to withhold his

pointmeni. The truth is, there is
a general feeling that Nj. Bryan
has had all the opportunities that
could possibly be coming to him,
and the impression is gaining
ground that he should cease to

speak for the Democratic party"

The editor perhaps more fire.
quently than men in other walks
has his lesson IN human nature.
The ear of the editor gathers the
mutterlngs OF the multitude in
times of unrest. 1t listens TO the
lovers quarrels, to family jars, to
neighborhood scandals and to the
private and public affairs of all
candidates for political prefer.
ment. But the most universal
complaint Is OF railroads, anG cor.
poraiions generally, and we are
quite frequently called upon to
roast some OF these organiza-
tons. Many citizens do not stop
to look further than their own
interests, and selfshness is the
great sin of the world today. Rail.
roads, for instance, cannot make
rules or schedules, nor conduct
their business to suit each custo.
mcr. \ man cannot hope to run a
newspaper so that every subscri-
Der will be pleased every week.
Great enterprises must be operated
upon lines which the enterprise
and judgment of the operators or
promoters teach them is the best
tor their own interests and the
satisfaction Of Il majority of per-
sons whom they hope TO serve.
The Arkansas Democrat, speak
ing OF being just to railroads, very
scnsibly says: "The assessment
value of railroads in Arkansas is
S29, 900, 900. 7 he conclusion Is
reached, using the same basis as
last year. This is one of the larg.
est items in our state revenues.
From this valuation we get large
per cent of the revenue necessary
to carry on the state government.
1t is just as we'll 10 rem Der in this
connection that when we are deal.

the state and they have rights
which ought to be protected. We
have the right to regulate these
railroads, but We must not be un-
Just merely because they happen
to be corporations. Sometimes
we notice disposition to deny
these corporations their rights.
Such is unwise and unjust"

"For years we have been calling
attention to the splendid reports
from southern cotton mills, say:
the Arkansas Democrat: Estate
ments arc sent out showing a re
markabIy prosperous condition
and big dividends. We always
feel that our people are missing
some OF the good things TO which
they are justly entitled when this
subject is up for consideration.
Right here in Arkansas we have
advantages that could not be had
in other southern states, and yet
the milling interests are very small
indeed. After a while we will get
all these enterprises, but we can
not but regret the lack Of proper
effort TO attract attention TO our
state at the present" ST. Francis
county has the room and material,

factories of any kind. A cotton
factory would pay here better
than any place in the state, and We
