THE POI AND THE KETTLE.

The Democratic prospects in Ken
lucky are for stormy weather. The
Beckham opponents have been telling
how iniquitous and incompetent his
administration is, and are showing up
everything from the condition of state
institutions under Democratic rule 10
the 81 900 war claim. 1t has been
oonclusively demonstrated how he was
only an accident-and an unfortunate
one--and why he should not longer be
permitted to occupy the executive
mansion.
Now the governor promises to start
n ten minutes rough house of his own.
He makes a pretty good beginning and
gives the psople something else to
think about. II what his opponents
say of his administration is true, and
what he intimates of them cannot be
disproven, it is plain that the people
of the state who want a clean. honest
and effective government cannot get it
from the Democrats, but must look
elsewhere for it.
Governor Beckham claims that there
are pardon brokers among the Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky, men who traffic,
doubtless for pecuniary gain or person.
oil preferment, in this important de-
partment Of goverDment-wben they
get chance. He alleges that cam
psign funds have been missppropri-
aIed, and while the people of the
state as a whole, perhaps have no
cause to complain on that score, it is
evident that IL tine Democratic party
leaders are guilty of diverting cam
paign money into improper channels,
they are liable to juggle with any
funds that may be entrusted to them,
and consequently are not to be trusted.
Governor Beckham goes further and
insinuates that some of the Democrat
10 leaders have "gouged" certain. cor
porations by threatening them with
inimical legislation if they didn't "do
the clean thing" which probably is
defined in the dictionary Of Kentucky
Democracy as giving them money for
protection. In ether words, black
mailing on large, geDteel scale.
If there are men of this stripe in
the Democratic party. and Governor
Beckham thinks it worth while to al
Iude to them, he should do the people
and his party still greater service by
giving names and dates. They have
not spared him, and he is under no OBJ.
legations to spare them. His first
duty is to the people he represents
His party. if compelled to choose be-.
tween two evils, would doubtless pre-
fer to choose the lesser, and he should
give it the benefit Of the inside infor-
mstion he possesses.
Meanwhile it becomes more and
more evident that the only hope the
people of Kentucky have is in the Re-
publican party.

There have now been stupendou us
scandals at both the Lakeland and
Hopkinsville ssylums, and this ought
TO be sufficient to arouse interest in
the plan to place such institutions in
the hands Of non-partisan boards.
There is certainly q demand now for
reform IL there was none before, and
it is believed that the people are fully
aroused to the necessity Of indorsing
such reform. One of the most fea.
sible plans for securing the best and
most efficient service at these institu-
lions is that the superintendents of
the asylums be non-partisans il posi-
BILE, but at all hazards be men who are
making the study Of insanity a speci-
atty, and who are recommended by
the state medical society for the'fit-
ness. This is believed to be the only
way the people of the state can insure
the proper treatment for the unfortu-
yates of the state. There are probably
just as good grounds for managing the
prisons IN similar manner. and the
questions promise to become among
the most important in the forthcoming
campaign.

The latest sensation in the Demo
cratic camp in Kentucky is who
monkeyed with the telegram" Col
onel Hendrick sent Governor Beckham
q telegram asking il he would divide
time in Owensborc, and when the tele-
gram was published the name OF the
governor was followed by boss. Z"
Mr.. Hendrick promptly denied send
ing such a message, and an effort was
made to saddle 1t onto the newspaper
correspondent who sent the special
from Frankfort. The records in the
telegraph office at Springfield, KY,
from which place it was sent, and in
the Louisville Office. where it was re-
layed, bear out the truthfulness Of Col
onel Hendricks claims that the word
boss" was not in the original tele-
gram. The Telegram Governor Beck
ham received, nevertheless, contains
the word as published, and the opera
tor in the office at Frankfort declares
that the message was received just as
it came in. At last accounts the mys-
terry was still hung up somewhere be-
tween Louisville and Frankfort, with
little hope Of a solution. Fortunately
the newspaper man is exoneratei. AS
usual, an effort was made at once by
the pot house politicians to make him
a scapegoat, probably because his pa
per had declined to support one of the
candidates against the other, but the
telegram delivered to the governor
shows that the tampering was done be
fore the message was delivered and
given out at the governors office.

Rov. II. II. Armstrong. president Of
an English Unitarian association. at

on large scale. We grow sugar
cane to perfection. We plant cane
once every nine years. As high as
5000 pounds of sugar is the result
of one acre.
1t is no use for a poor man to
come to Brownsville with the ex-
pectation of getting soft snaps by
farming without money; better stay
away. Such will find themselves on
the wrong side of the house. Land
values are on the upward tendency.
Now is the time to buy. Do not be
under the impression that lands can
be bought for 81 per acre. Those
days are gone for good. By making
two crops of rice from one planting,
the second crop pays for the first.
This is better than a gold mine,
with a climate like ours. No malaria
exists. When the doctors hunt other
sections it is good proof that
Brownsville is in a healthy locality
and a poor place for the medical
fraternity.
