IOWA LIBEL SUIT UNJUST.
ECyla rinr EaYlnn1rat

Iowa has the most unjust law gov
erning libel. so far as newspapers are
concerned, in the union. 1t Is worse
than the now famous Pennsylvania law
which was notoriously enacted to pre-
vent criticism of men in public posi-
tions, who properly should have been In
the penitentiaries. The legislators OF
Iowa have been appealed to again and
again, to amend our law, but so far
have declined to do SC, and we can
think of no good reason for this want
action unless like the autors of the
Pennsylvania monstrosities, they are
afraid of the calcium light of publicity
and would keep an extinguisher at
hand ,os as to snufr out any attempts
to show them up. Indeed from what
we know and could tell of some men
who have been sent to Des Moines to
keep from making or amending laws,
we don't blame them SO much for
ciinging TO this relic of barbarous
times. They do it in self-!preserva-
ton. An editor may know something
ever so we'll which would be for the
public good. for his readers to know.
but he is withheld from publishing it
thru the ordinary prudence that actu-
ates every man with family to sup
port, reputation to maintain and a
soul to save. And often, very often, he
sees wrong committed. and injustice
and crime flourish under the protection
of that travesty of justice and fair
ress known as the Iowa libel law. and
cares not protest Jur IS have gener-
ally construed the law as literally as
they could, and in some instances have
gone contrary to it in their decisions,
thus voicing sentiment that has no
use for such un- American. pro- Russian
laws. AS rule the people of the
country are against such one-sjded en-
actments, but the legislators seem to
be for them. and they remain. foul
hlots, dirty spots, in the statutes OF

BREAKERS AHEAD.
A Bust-Up in the Louisville Ma
chine Causes Trouble.
Beckham's Forces at Frankfort al
Sea--LikeIy to Lose Big Cam
paign Fund.

Frankfort. Feb. 23.-There is
constellation in the Beckham
ranks here tonight over the break
ia the Beckham machine in LOUIS
Vile, aud the indications are that
it viii play smash with the slate
which Beckham heads. Informa-
ton from a reliable source reaches
here that there has been a serious
rupture between the Beckham
forces in the metropolis; one side is
headed by Aaron Kohn and the
other by John Whallen. Heretofore
Kohu and Whallen have been
working together for the Beckham
slate and it is reported that over
$67, 200 was raised in that city for
the purpose of putting the Beck
ham slate through. The rumpus in
Louisville was caused by local
matters and the war between the
Kohn and Whallen factions will be
carried into the state race, and
with the $4,000 withdrawn from
the support of Beckham the slate
will 60 to pieces and it will be
doomed to defeat.
The exposure that is sure to fol-
low the Louisville break will cause
a revolution of sentiment in Ken
lucky against Beckham, who is
alleged 10 have made terms with an
element in Louisville who fought
the late William Goebel 10 the end.
Unless the machine can bring the
Louisville factions together, reve-
lations will follow that will explain
a number of newspaper deals in
Western Kentucky. The Beckham
forces are caucusing tonight and
they seem 10 be at sea.
Hendricks chances are improv-
ing every day and the ring is great
ly alarmed at the lively interest
that is being taken in his forth
coming speech here next Monday.
1t was the intention of the Beck
ham crowd to have the young gov
ernor to go to Owenton today, but
they heard that Hendrick would be
there aud he did not go. His visit
to Mt. Sterling last week failed to
enthuse his followers, as reports
from that section are disappointing
to them.

Point Well Taken.

Chairman Allie Young, of the
Democratic State Committee, is into
boiling water up to his chin. He
wants to know now if there are not
enough loyal Democrats in each
county to hold the primary election
without cost. While there is no
doubt but that Ballard county
would do her part IN a matter of
this kind were it necessary, there
appears to be no necessity for such
q donation on the part of the people.
1t we understand it correctly, am
pie funds have been raised by as
sessing each candidate for Office for
defrayiDg all expenses of the pri-
mary election. If we are right,
Chairman Young should be in hot
water plumb over his head, for he is
asking the people to do something
for nothing that the candidates
have already been assessed to pay,
without even making a promise as
to where the money raised is going
to. This free scheme should have
been thought of before the assess
ments were made, but even now we
favor it if the assessments are
taken off. This would give all the
poor fellows chance and be right
in line with old-fashioned demo,
cracy-a very necessary thing in
Kentucky politics just now, if we
are any Judge of small Matters

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency OF medical science

The best thought OF the world is

be prevented by the use Of Cham

it has been observed that this rem

these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands oil cases IN which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip
al recent years, and can be relied
upon with implicit confidence.

AFTER PENDLETON'S SCALP.
Local Lawyers Begin Action To
Disbar Colored Law
yer From This
Court.

Action looking to the disbarment of
George L. Pendleton, a-colored attor-
ney of Annapolis, has been begun by
Messrs. Hugh r. Riley and Jerry l..
Smith, of this city.
The action was taken on account of
a paper filed in the court by the colored
attorney, in which he makes charges
which Messrs. Smith aud Riley allege
to be utterly baseless in connection
with suit in which Pendleton is the
attorney for Severn Z. Collins, a
white man, who is bringing divorce
proceedings against his wife. Mr..
Smith is the counsel for the wife and
Mr.. Riley the examiner before whom
the testimony was taken. Among the
statements was one that Messrs. Riley
and Smith had entered into conspi-
racy with the defendants and her sons
to murder or otherwise maltreat Pen
dleton. Mr. James w. Owens has
also led petition for the disbarmnt
of the same attorney and will press
the matter at the next term of Court.
George l.. Pendleton is the colored
lawyer whom the jury in the Washing
ton county court recommended should
be imprisoned until he had paid the
cotss of suit which he lost land in
which he sought to charge an aged
and infirm colored woman $500 for
professional services. A committee of
the Washington county bar has been
appointed to consider his disbarment
in that court.

Taking Time BY Forelock.

Each age and generation is wiser
in it's day, and the practice so general
in past years of purchasing presents
for Christmas on the eve of the great
festival is fast becoming obsolete.
The public is growing wister each
year and the merchants are glad of it.
This year people have been making
their purchases for Christmas for the
past two or three weeks to apvoid the
rush of Christmas eve, and the stores
are less congested and the clerks have
more opportunity of waiting on Gus
toners.
II have noticed decided change in
things this year, said a prominent
Main street merchant last night.
81 have been as busy as l could be
for two weeks, and now the trade
seems Stacking up little. Certainly
it is much wiser and better plan foI
the people to buy early and have q
better selection, besides avoiding
the rush.
This seems to be the condition OF
affairs everywhere and that person
who has not already provided himself
with all of his gifts is indeed hard to
find this year.
