THE BIGGEST YET.
CEDRIC WILL SOON BE READY
FOR VOYAGE.

London, Jan. 3o-The Cedric, the
latest addition to the White Star fleet,
and the largest steamer in the world,
is practically completed, and will
leave Belfast today for Liverpool to
prepare for her maiden voyage to New
York early next month. This huge
vessel. 700 feet long, is the second
steamer to exceed 10000 tons, her
sister ship, the Celtic, being the first.
The Cedric will have accommodations
for 5000 passengers, but as she has
not been built for speed. she will not
attempt to lower the Atlantic record. =

THE COMMITTEE
APPOINTMENTS.

The Republicans are well satisfied
with the spportionment of committees
made by Mr.. Durrett, president of the
board OF aldermen, last night. They
have a majority of the committees, al
though the Democr ats have the most
important one, the finance committee.
1t was understood that Alderman
Starks would be appointed chairman
of this committee, and is said that
President Durrett voluntarily stated
soon after his election as president,
that he would make Mr.. Stark chair
man OF the committee, but doubtless
he changed his mind. Mr.. Stark is
one of the ablest finAnciers in the city,
and we believe would have made the
best chairman in the board. He de-
clined place on the finance commit

The contemplated move Of Kentucky
Democrats to make another attempt
at . requisition to bring former Gov
ernor Taylor here from Indiana to per-
secute under the direction Of Cantrill
in their political courts, will not like
ly pan out, but they can probably
start their usual campaign row. Sen
sible people do not believe If Youtsey
made any such confession as is chArg-
ed that it is true, and Governor Dur
bin, Of Indiana, has been advised by
the attorney general of Indiana that
he cannot be compelled to honor a re-
QUESTION from Kentucky If he does
not want to, and Governor Durbin has
already time or two rather forcibly
indicated that he didn't want to. We
venture the opinion that if the alleged
Goebel conspirators were given fGir
trials before honorable, fair and IN
prejudiced courts, former Governor
Taylor would come back of his own
accord and stand trial.

LET'S NOT THROW STONES.

The papers everywhere are COM
mentine extensively on the report that
Tillman Of South Carolina will base
his defense on the allegation that Ed
itor Gonzales had his hands in his
pockets at the time of the cowardly
shooting. Many of the papers round
" denounce South Carolina or any
other community, county or state
where such defense can prove sue
cessful in murder charges, and among
them we are somewhat surprised TO
find a few Kentucky pauers. We
would suggest that our own papers be
not too hssty to throw stones at South
Carolina. We know full well that in
our own state if man charged with
murder claims his victim had his hand
in his pocket and swears he believed
he had a pistol, he stands q mighty
good chance to be acquitted. Here in
Kentucky q white man, we regret to
say, can escape punishment for muir
der about as easy as one can in South
Carolina.

Incident That Proves Existence OF
Reasoning Powers.
An Interesting demonstration Of the
Intelligence NJ the ant was made by
a student in the biological department
Of the University OF Pennsylvania re-
Gently. The young man constructed
a roadway, two feet In length. OF
metal, and divided this into two paral-
lei paths. separated by n high parti-
ton. One Of the raths he painted
red and the other blue; and at their
end, in plain view. he put a morsel of
rich cake. Then he set an ant at the
beginning Of the roadway. The ant
at once made for the cake over the
red path, whereupon the student
turned on a lamp under his mechan.
Ism and heated the path TO an uncom.
Portable degree. The ant kept on, and
finally secured the cake, but on its re-
turn II must have told itself that II
had had a mighty uncomfortable Jour
ney. Several hours later the student
brought IL out again. another morsel OF
cake being set at the end of the road
way. The ant thought a moment, and
then started for the cake over the blue
path. II remembered that the red one
had been hot To prove still more
conclusiyely that II remembered, the
student next bloc, ed up the blue
path, whereupon the ant did without
the cake rataer than venture after II
by the red one.-Philadelphia Record.

correct in saying the tickets with
out name were rejected. Be-
fore they were printed Hon. Geo.
S. Selvidge, County Attorney,
had told Stamper, chairman
of the com mittee to fill vacancies,
that these tickets could not be
counted. Ample time was given
by others to the-representative
champions of the regulars" THAT
the only safe way to vote was in
the blank column, the only space
where name could be legally
written and voted. But you err
in another direction, 90 votes
were counted where the names of
the winning ticket appeared, all
in the blank column, all but the
name of r. A. Harper. For him,
3 votes were cast, written in the
blank column; 2 votes were cast
for James Wilson, also written
in the blank column. Having a
majority of 1 over Mr.. Wilson,
Mr.. Harper received the award.
Of the tickets rejected for not
being in compliance with law
and, therefore, being NO tickets
at all, 5 were without a mark of
any kind or character, and could
not be counted for that reason.
and enough of the balance were
void on the account of "disting-
uishing marks" to give the count
to the prevailing ticket by from
E to 10 majority. Of course it
would have been error for the
judges to have counted any of
the tickets for Mr.. Harper and
to have rejected them as to the
residue. We are told that you
are again in error when you so
charge.
Judge Selvidge authorizes a
vigorous denial of the legal views
imputed to him by you.
We join you in an earnest wish
that justice be done. If anyone
feels aggrieved by the result of
the election there is a way out.
But until a different result is ar
rived at, in an orderly, legal way,
let us all bow to the declared
will of the majority. We close
as we began, with the expression
that no culpable wrong has been
perpetrated. We are sorry that
both tickets could not have been
elected, but say, Frank, in these
''hard contests" some one will
be victors, others, the vanquished.
Let's shake, and treat the ''inci-
dent" as closed.
