WRONG MAN FINED.

A jury heard the confession Of
one negro charged with the steal
ing of a watch, and in order that
he might be deferred from repeat
ing the theft, was given a three
years term in the penitentiary.
Who will say it was not just YER
dict? Another broke into ware
house and took a few bushels Of
grass seed. He threw himsel: on
to the mercy Of the court by con-
Tossing to the theft. Was a two
years sentence a just punishment?
No man will say it was not. An
other comes to the city, one in the
habit Of carrying gun and getting
drunk at pleasure, and because he
was not allowed to do as he pleased
threatened officials and in an at
tempt to murder shot one Of those
he had threatened, down. Was
the cases against the negroes just,
and if so then what about the pun
ishment Of Byrd? In the language
OF another such men do not deserve
to live and had there been a law de
handing a death punishment ii
would not have been too severe
for the crime commit t e.
Such a verdict for such a character
as Byrd is a punishment only to
those who furnish the money to
pay the fine and in no degree
would it deterthem from the repeat
ing of such deeds or the committa
Of a more atrocious crime. 1t i;
necessary for juries tomore serious
ly consider the law and evidence
in such cases and to inhict a pun
ishment that would deter or place
the accused where he would be
powerless to commit crime anc
where he could have an opportun-
ity at reformation.

IT MEANS A LAND SLIDE.

From 5000 to 1000 people
including men women and chill
dren, greeted Governor Beckham
at Lebanon on last Wednesday,
and not less than 5000 people
crowded about the stand and gave
strict attention to his statements
as he rendered an account to them
of his stewardship. How thai
from assass n a t i o n peace is
being quickly restored, and that
life and property will be secure IN
Kentuc ky alike to all par
ties. While the expe ms n
restoring order has been enor-
nous. under Democratic admins
tration, taxes are less than under
Republican control and Ken
lucky is without debt.
The people see in Governor
Beckham, a good business man
attentive and wise, a man who
has been Governor of the people,
and they are demanding that he
be rejected. That's what these
large crowds of interested men,
women and children mean.
Belknap and his questionable
business methods, and Owens
with his morals are not material
for Kentucky chief executive.

Dark Lantern Methods Of Repub'
lican Party.

The Democrats should not be
fooled as to the methods of the Re-
publican State Campaign Commit
tee. The Chairman of the Repub-
lican Committee is DR.. w. Godfrey
Hunter, whose way of conducting
a campaign is unique. He now has
secret headquarters at the Gait
House in Louisville and is conduct
ing the campaign of his party be-
hind closed doors.
He is endeavoring to create the
impression throughout the State
that the Republicans are disorga-
nized and are taking no interest in
the election. He is also endeavor-
ing to create the impression among
the Democrats that Belknap has no
chance and that his followers have
practically given up the fight. How
ever. IT is learned from ahsc!n.ci
trustworthy sources that DR.. Hun
ter is using all his skill to effect
complete organization in every pre-
cinct in the State and that all of
this is being done with the greatest
secrecy and with the employment
of all the dark lantern methods
known.
1t is also learned from the same
sources that the Republicans have
a larger campaign fund this year
than ever before and they are re-
lying on simply buying The MAORI
ty for Belknap in order to get this
s1,,.. ~ line in the Presidential race
in 1904;
Realizing the Importance Of the
fight this fall, the Republican Ma
tional Committee has sent thous-
ands of dollars to Kentucky and
this vast sum has been greatly aug
mented by subscriptions from big
corporations and by contributions
of the Federal Machine, which, con-
trary to the law, has forced minor
employees Of the Government tol
give money from their salaries.
1t has long been DR.. Hunters
boast that he can carry Kentucky
If he has the money TO buy the
votes. The Democrats in the COM
ing election should show DR.. Hun
ter that the Republican party
backed by the National Admins
tration, the corporations and the
Federal Machine cannot buy the
suffrage of the people of Kentucky.
They should show him that it
makes no difference to what ex-
tent the State is flooded With
money that the vote of the Com
monwealth cannot be purchased
and that they believe in majority
rule.

THARD TO DISTINGUISH

fla man shows his horse in 2
ring against others and for having
the best individual IS awarded a
prize we do not regard this as
gambling.
If we put our energies into max
ing the best local papers, and the
people who are the judges decide in
our favor and the prize is their
patronage, we would not consider
this gambling.
ia purse Is made up and our
boys enter an oratorical contest
and one is awarded the prize, we
would not pronounce that gamb'
ling. If Mrs. Beckham' or any
other good woman should play At
a bowling alley and should make
the highest score, and be awarded
a box Of candy we could moi
draw so far.fetched conclusion anc
say this was gambling either,
The gambling is by those who
bet and win whether in a game OF
not.

Republicans are making great
TODD about the $4,000 and more
paid out in suppressing the Breath
lit county feud. The difference
between Democratic expenditures
to State militia and the Republican
is this: Democrats have forced an
investigation have convicted crimi-
nails and brought peace, while Re
publicans spent great sums OF
money and concealed criminals.

College President.

DR.. VIM. L. Pickard, of Lynch
burg, Va, one of the brainest and
sweetest-spirited ministers Of the
Baptist Church, writes the follow
ing about the new President of
Georgetown College;
"In my opinion, the college could
not have elected a man more capa-
BILE than he to fill the place. He is
a gentleman of great intellectual
ability. His splendid mind is ex-
quisitely disciplined. His learning
is unusually broad and accurate.
His power to see truth, and make
others see it, is of very high order.
For six years our pastorates were
contemporary in Alabama. He
was on the right side of all denom-
national questions. And a ire
mendous force in the denomina
tional work. He and l have not
seen every question in the same
light but men who think will some
times differ, and it is possible that
where we have differed, my think
ing has been small, his large. He
is a true man. If he believes a
thing, he says so in the open. He
is a foe to error, friend to truth.
l predict for him brilliant career
as an educator of young men and
women. Mark my prediction, the
college world will feel the force of
j. j. Taylor's brain"

Washington, Jan. 14.-It is expected
that congress will pass a bill remov-
ing the duty of 81 cents a ton on coal
imported into this country. This bill
may take the form of a rebate, or
drawback, for ninety days, and also
will provide for reciprocity, adding
free of duty coal imported into the
United States from countries granting
the same privilege to the United
States from countries granting the
same privilege to the United States.
This means Canada will permit Nova
Scotia coal to come into the United
States free, while coal from the Allie
ghenies and westward will go into
Canada free Of duty. The ways and
means committee will meet today,
and, according to the present program,
report a bill on the above lines. 1t is
expected it will pass the house to-day.
Senate Will Act Quickly.
1t will be taken up in the senate very
soon and the intention is to have it
pass without delay. Its consideration
in the senate has not been arranged
for, but efforts are making to expedite
its passage without amendment and
with little discussion. A number of
Republicans who heretofore have
been opposed to the changing Of the
duty on coal said they would not op'
pose the bill provided it did not open
up the whole tariff question. There
has been some general talk about an
agreement to pass such a bill. without
| opening up the tariff question, and the
Republican leaders expect the house
bill will be passed promptly by the
sente.

Cold Causes Suffering.

Lack Of Fuel Coupled With Extreme
Cold Causes Suffering.
Chicago, Jan. 14-Six lives were sac
ri1ced in Chicago yesterday to the ex-
IRENE cold. In most instances the vic
tins were overcome on the street,
death following quickly. Cases of
partial freezing were numerous. SUI
fering among the destitute who were
unable to secure fuel was intensified
by the bitter cold.
Two degrees below zero was the Of
fetal temperature for Chicago and vi
cinity at 8 o'clock yesterday, accom-
panied by a brisk southwest wind.
Much suffering among the poor, who
have with difficulty endured the mod.
crate weather since the coal famine
became acute has been reported and a
number of deaths have been caused by
the cold. The mayor has taken steps
already to provide a fund for the relief
of the suffering among the destitute.
Much delay to suburban and inter
urban lines was occasioned by the sud
den intense cold, and a number of
minor accidents owing to the heavy
fall of snow were reported.
Severe cold is reported from all Sec
tons Of the country al / there Is much
suffering at some points from lack OF
fuel.
That Alleged "Ring."
The special grand jury which has
been called to investigate the condi-
lions responsible for the coal famine
continued yesterday to hear evidence
which the attorney general and the
states attorney have secured against
the coal operators and coal dealers.
Twenty-Five coal men, some the heads
OF wholesale firms and others chiefs in
mines, presented themselves at the
criminal court building in answer to
summonses to tell what they knew OF
the ring" which the Illinois Manufac.
turers' association charges is respon'
sible for fuel conditions.
Under Mr.. Deneen's direction they
are being asked to explain what are
the aims and objects of the Illinois
Coal Operators association and why
coal cars stored on the railroad tracks
just outside the city limits are not be.
ing ordered into the city and market.
ed. Attorney General Hamlin declared
that the investigation would not be
confined to Chicago, but would reach
out so as to take up the conditions
throughout the state.
The city council last night took a
hand in the solution OF the coal prob
lem. An ordinance was passed making
the forestalling of fuel supplies a mis-
demeanor, punishable with a fine OF
5000 for each ofense.

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thou

The first stage OF catarrh is what is

may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes SO severe as
to cause a chill and considerable fever, or
it may be SO slight as to not hinder a person
from his usual business. In perhaps a
majority of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence
it is that nearly one-half of the people ha' :
chronic Catarrh in some form.
