NEVER GIVE UP.

1t is the monotony even
more than the pain that makes
a long illness so hard to bear.
Life is like a long rainy day.
One sees all things through
blue glasses and walks in the
Valley of Shadows. The atten-
ton is withdrawn from outside
matters and centred on ones
self. The various symptoms of
the disease, whatever it may
be, continually appeal to the
sufferers feeling and fancy
until other thoughts can get
little welcome in his mind.
Sometimes this is merely an af-
fair of few months, and again
it may drag along for some
years. 1t depends on circum-
stances; no two cases are alike.

WORK BEFORE LEGISLATORS.

With county legislation, appropria-
tions, loan bill, and reforms in practice
and revision of the laws confronting
it, the Legislature enters upon it's third
week with a vast deal of business that
will tax the energies of members and
the ingenuity of leaders. 1t is all i'm
portant work, every measure will re-
quire close thought and there will be
no time for idle discussion. and the
people will watch closely II valuable
hours are spent in gallery play.
The county measure will be the first
to receive consideration, from the pres
ent outlook, and there is a unanimity
of opinion that there will be many
amendments before the measure is
passed finally. These however, Will be
slight, from the viewpoint offered by
prior discussion. The coherency OF the
bill will not be destroyed, as many
members favor its passage now with
the knowledge that after two years OF
practical working the still rough spots
may be smoothed down. and the law
so amended as to approach more nearly
to perfection.
The loan bill now before the Senate
will receive careful consideration as
well, for there are features of such
legislation which are necessarily intri-
cate and which, though seemingly
small. will have a great effect upon
the value of the securities. The fact is
that a provision, found in section 2O2
of the Civil Laws, sets aside all the
revenues from the sales of public lands
as a sinking fund for the redemption ~
bonds On it's face this would appear
to be sufficient to provide properly for
the amortization of the issue. But
the records hardly bear out this as
sumption. The value of the public
lands might be placed at s5.0o0,ooo on
a liberal estimate, but that would hard
ly be realized through sales. In the first
place, there are buildings which must
be used by the Territory and again,
there are tracts which the United
States government has taken. the value
OF which must be deducted from the
estimates. Too much stress cannot be
laid upon the necessity for ample pro-
vision for ultimate payment II bonds

TINE NECRO'S POSITION.

voters of the South schemes on the
part Of the President and Senator
Hanna to secure the votes Of delegates
from those states to the next National

The bill Of Senator Hanna providing
for pensions for ex-slaves promises to

in the light Of recent utterances. In
the House Of Representatives recently,
when the matter came up Mr.. Cannon
of Illinois, chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations, and who will be the
Speaker of the next House, declared
that no such measure as the one pro-
posing pensions for the ex-slaves will
meet with the approval of Congress.
now or later.
1t Is not a question then, of the
right or wrong of the matter, but of
facts. Mr.. Cannon is a strong man,
one whose words must be given weight,
and to fail to so Judge the value of his
utterances may mean to misread the
signs Of the times. Taking it for
granted, then, that with Mr.. Cannon's
followers in the Republican camp and
the Democratic strength opposed to
such pensions no bill can pass. the
danger is that sharpers will use the
mere introduction OF the measure 10

LIGHTNING IN THE BALKANS.s

There has been a flash OF lightning
from the dark cloud that has been how
ering over the Balkans for some weeks
past, and a few Turks have been killed
in battle with the Macedonians. Wheth-
er this Is the beginning of the great war
that is to finally settle the vexed East
ern question by driving the Osmanli
out of Europe remains to Jbe seen. 1t
may we'll mean the beginning OF a de-
cisive struggle. The time has gone by
when there can be little wars in the
Balkans. There are too many conflict
ing interests. too many powerful par
ties who must be reckoned with, who
ever is permitted to breed the trouble.
But it is one thing to begin war to
drive out the Turks, and quite another
to drive them out. The Turks, in all
| their history, have always shown a
most stubborn disinclination to be driv-
en-, and there is u well grounded faith
| that they will resist now more effectual-
| ly than they have ever done before.
And this is particularly true If, as now
seems probable, Russia is elected to do
the driving. They are more than
hereditary enemies, the Turks and the

| that Is the bitterest of all enmity.
Their embattled armies have met, more
than once, in The centuries, and though
the Turks have fought as mobs fight,
it cannot be said with truth that the
Russ has proven his superiority in the
game Of arms. Even in the last war,
with an army drilled and organized on
the most approved modern system, with
a commissariat second to none in the
, world, with limitless resources in men
and money, the Russians were all but
baked of their prey by a brave man
with an armed mob holding petty
fortress in the Balkans.
The Turk has learned his lesson since
| then. The little Greek war showed him
possessed OF mobile army, up to date
in all things, and this modern army
walked through the Greeks as though
| they had been men OF straw. For the
Turk is brave. with the bravery of the

iect Is to secure government appro
priations for such improvements to the
Ohio river as will give il navigable
stage of wster the year round. At
present for about six months OF each
year few boats can run because Of
bars, shoals and other distractions.
During this time enormous loss and
inconvenience are suffered, not only
by boat owners, but by those depend
emit on steamboats, for the transporta-
ton OF their goods, and Of passengers

every merchant and trader along the
waterway and many Of those inland,
hence every merchant and every bust
ness interest should take an active in
terest in securing relief.
This relief the Ohio Valley associa-
ton is working to secure, and Pa
ducah, along with other cities, should
send a large delegation to the APP
preaching session a. Evansville. A
great deal has already been accom-
plished in calling the attention of Con-
gress to the necessity of speedy action

ways in the United States, and at the
present rate, il interest does not abate

WANT INCREASE
100000 Locomotive Firemen
Seeking More Money.
Meeting Began in Chicago Today
Ten Per Cent May Be Asked.

Chicago, Oct. 2-Every railroad sys-
tenn in the United States. Canada and
Mexico will be presented with de-
mands for increased wages and better
conditions Of employment for 100, ZOO
locomotive firemen. The rate OF wages
to be asked will be determined upon
ct a meeting Of the general chairmen's
associations of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen, which began in
Chicago today.
The average wages paid firemen IN
the United States is s75 month.
While fiat advance of from 10 to 90
per cent may be demanded the firemen
will endeavor to secure as uniform
rate rs possible.
Several months ago the fremen be.
gan a campaign for higher wages.
They served notice on the Wabash,
Alton and Illinois Central for a 10 pei
cent increase. The conductors and
trsinmen at that time had also present
ed demands for 20 per cent. increase
and the Wabash company, fearing q
strike, secured temporary injunction
against the three brotherhoods. After
the INJUNCTION was dissolved the Wa.
bash settled with the three brother
hoods but the firemen failed to secure
what they desired. "r

ONLY TOO TRUE.

n 1t should shame the people of many
cities, counties and states to think of
the prejudice--the upwarranted pref
udice that is found to exist against
one Of our most valuable utilities,
something without which we should
suffer much pecuniary loss as we'll as
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS railroads. This
prejudice keeps many railroads from
making extensions and improvements
thar they would otherwise make, and
costs them millions of dollars year
that they are not legally or morally
obligated to pay, but which is extorted
from them by means Of the bitter en-
nifty many people feel towards any
thing that bears the slightest resem-
blance to . railroad, and because it is
generally supposed railroad has plen-
ty Of money.
The Lexington Herald recounts an
incident when q few days ago a Gin
cinnati Southern railway train was
derailed by striking COW that had
gotten on the track and says: "The
engineer was killed, several others &C.
verely and painfully wounded, perhaps
fatally; the train wrecked and the
passengers bruised and frightened anC
delayed. The mountain COW wal
worth perhaps TWENTY-FIVE dollars. IT.
owner was soon on the ground and de
plored the death Of her COW, saying i
was the best mixer she had ever had
and if action is instituted just an(
impartial jury will find the killed en-
gineer guilty Of negligence and max,
the company pay three or four prices
for the COW. We call attention to thii
deplorable event-because it illustrate,
one Of the phases of our jurisprudenc,
which has been forced on the state
and courts by popular prejudice ano
greed. In our legislation the mer,
fact of killing an animal is made pre-
sumptive evidence Of neg ligence OF
the part of the employees OF the compa
ny instead of evidence Of the negli
hence Of the owner of the animal. Tit
t ack is the property of the company
no animal is ever hurt by q train ex
opt it trespasses on the property O
the company; no engineer ever raj
over an animal except at the risk o.
his own life and that of all tine en-
r'oyes on that train and of all the pas
y >eis. The lives of the employees
. passengers would seem TO be OF
aore value than that of cows and
orses: but not SO in Kentucky. The
yner is not compelled to keep his
