The bloody record of Breathitt
county, Kentucky, has directed gen
eral attention to that vicinity and the
correspondent for the New York Sun
directs attention to an interesting fact
in connection with that locality. This
correspondent says cat jackson
(Breathitt county, or in its immediate
enviorns, the small boy who finds it
difficult to throw a stone across a
vacant lor, or the baseball player who
is making record when he throws a
ball 115 yards, can stand within few
feet Of the Kentucky river and throw
stone or ball seven miles down the
stream, then turn around and throw
one seven miles up the stream. Doesn't
seem to be possible, does itp Yet it is,
and have done it. Let me explain.
The Kentucky river at this point runs
among the hills, which are steep and
rocky, and at Jackson it strikes the
hills opposite the town on the upper
side and bounds back, SO to speak, in
great hook around territory of bot
tom land seven miles in circumference,
coming back to the lower side of the
sharp dividing ridge to within few
feet OF itself seven miles above by the
measure around. This ridge is 200 or
800 feet high, and is so narrow that

An Impossible Choice.

Hon. John H. Regan, the only sur
viving member of the Confederate
cabinet, and one of the veteran Demo-
Gratis of Texas, is quoted as saying
that he ''would rather vote for the
blacklist kind of Republican than
vote for Cleveland" giving as his
reason that Cleveland "betrayed his
party into the hands Of the money
power" Mr.. Regan will never be
called upon to make the choice, for
Mr.. Cleveland has no possible chance
of securing a Democratic nomination.
He could secure more votes in a Re
publican primary for the Republican
nomination than he could in a Demo
cratic primary for the Democratic
nomination. The Con1nloner has called
attention to the things said in his
favor, not because he had any chance
OF securing the nomination, but in
order that the readers of the Com
naoner might know the real influence
behind the reorganizers, and under
stand that the candidate favored by
the reorganizers will be controlled by
the same influence that controlled Mr.
Cleveland, even though the fact may
not be so we'll known to the public

The Wesley Bicentennial.

The bicentennial of John Wesley,
who was born June 28, 1908, COM
memorates an event of much more
than sectarian interest. When Wesley
died in 1871 lis followers numbered
1874 $50, of whom 1921 were in the
United States. According to statistics
collected in 1892 there were IS, $50, 900
English h'speaking Methodists in the
world of all descriptions. In the
United States there were 5,966,50
Methodsts of all denominations in
1902.
He was one of the first to denounce
the slave trade, and his book on, the
subject is said to have exerted an in
fuence comparable only to that OF
Uncle Toms Cabin. w. H. Lecky, the
historian of England in the eighteenth
century, said: "It men may be meas
ured by the work they accomplish John
Wesley can hardly fail to be regarded
as the greatest figure that has ap-
peared in the religious world since the
days of the reformation" Robert
Southey, whose biography of Wesley
appeared before Wesleyism had ceased
to be an object of ridicule, said in this
biography: The Emperor Charles
V. and his rival OF France appear a.
this day infinitely Insignificant, if we
compare them with Luther and Loyola
and there may come time when the
name Of Wesley will be more generally
known and in remoter regions thar
that OF Frederic or Of Catherine.
That the time has come is acknow
lodged.
One of the immediate effects o
Wesley's work was the eleyatlon O
the moral tone In Eugland and the en-
forcement OF rigorous moral quallfica
tions In public men. No man car

hope to succeed in Parliaments whose
life is known to be clouded by evil do
ing. The "non.conformist conscience
must be reckoned with by every Eng.
lish politician, as some have learned
by costly experience.
Like other heroes OF thought Wesley
can be claimed by no one nation, much
less by one sect. His good influence
has worked its way into remote place;
OF the earth and is potent among the
people of diverse faiths. His birth
day, therefore, will be celebration ir
which everyone can participate with
good show of right.-St Louis Post

In these days when injunction writs
seem to play such leading part in
government, it may be interesting to
know that a citizen OF New Orleans
has applied for an injunction against
dog. The story is told by the New
Orleans correspondent OF the New
York Sun in this way: Joseph IL.
Marks, prominent citizen, has ap-
piled for an injunction to restrain
dog owned by George D. Luce. his
next.door neighbor, from barking and
bowling at night. Mr.. Marks alleges
the defendants canine has contracted
habit OF barking, sometimes the
whole night through. The bowler,
he charges, has kept the petitioner
and family awake for hours during the
last few months. His expostulations
have been OF no avail. Charging that
his health and comfort haye already
been damaged, he prays for judg-
ment for reasonable damages ard for
an injunction commanding the de-
fendant to abate the nuisance

cant and hypocrisy and false pretense,
Republican corruption in office, Re-
publican broken promises, Republican
advocacy of trust domination, Repub-
lican tariff legislation that gives special

Here is another Hearst item: He
has compelled the Republican Attorney
General at last to take action against
the anthracite coal combine. That
Republican official positively refused
to proceed in any way against this
giant trust on the evidence furnished
him last fall by Mr.. Hearst. Tired of
waiting on an official sworn to execute
the laws, but who, too evidently was
in complete sympathy with the coal
combine and its methods, Mr.. Hearst
asked the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to grant him hearing. 1t
did so, and he proved his every con-
tention to the entire satisfaction oil
that Commission. The Commission
could not compel Boss Baer and his
copartners in crime to produce their
contracts with the coal roads, and now
the Attorney General must, under the
law, tardily proceed against the coal
combine and go into court in an at.
tempt to make them disgorge their
contracts. When they are compelled
to do so Mr.. Hearst's case will be
proven. He was satirized and Will.

for this, even his enemies must be

Christ and the Working People.

Jesus Christ turned his workshop
into cathedral; his workbench into
a high altar, upon the step of which
he stood and preached sermon from
the text, "Hitherto my Father worketh
and l work"
That was supreme moment in the
history of the workingman. 1t was
the apotheosis of labor. This God
man was laboring man. The central
doctrine OF Christianity is the incarpa-
tion Of the operative almighty.

4 LOAG STRIKE.

The strike which has just been set
tied in Wales may not have been "the
| long strike but it was certainly a
| long strike. That was a remarkable
contest which Lord Penrhyn, the Welsh
peer, has been carrying on with labor
union since 1900, and which his great
wealth has enabled him at last to win.
The issue involved was not one Of
wages, but purely of union manage
Bethesda, North Wales, which he in
herited from his father, he was en-
pioying three thousand men little over
three years ago, when, getting into a
dispute with organized labor, he refus-
ed to have any further dealings with
union committees and discharged all of
mis- union employees who were disposed
to make their unionism obnoxious to
him. He has contrived to prevent
the entire closing of his quarries since
by the use of non-union workmen, but
he has not had full complement at
work and he has been bitterly denounc-
ed, even in debates in parliament, for
his refusal to settle the difficulty on any
other terms than the entire surrender
of the unionists Worn out at length,
the latter have now abandoned the
struggle and gone back to work with
out get ting a single concession.
OF course it can fairly be doubted
whether there was any profit for either
side In such struggle as this, but Lord
Penrhyn is doubtless satisfied with the
situation.

3H4NKSGIYING,

Give thanks unto the Lord. for his
mercy endureth forever. If it didn't
many Of US would not be present and
in as good shape to have cheerful
Thanksgiving as we are in. There is
abundant reason for thankfulness to-
day, as there always is. To be sure,
the stock market isn't booming. but
those who would like to see it boom can
be thankful that it isn't rushing down
with accelerated velocity as it was so
long. Thanks are due for the good
crops, for fair business. such health as
there is, the splendor and glory of foot
ball, for friendship, love and homes.
Possibly we ought also to be thankful
that our strenuous President hasn't
added anything to the national burdens
for a few days.
Let us eat, drink and be merry, mind
full that there is tomorrow, and that
the stomach-ache sometimes comes like
a thief in the night, or even in the af-
ternoon. And those Of us who can
should better our own Thanksgiving by
lettering the Thanksgiving of some
body who is lonesome or poor, or both.

bacco output OF the islands had been
sold to the United States it could not
have injuriously affected these inter-
ests here. Colonel Edwards says that
of the entire quantity of sugar and to-
bacco imported into the United States
from al! countries during the five years
of American occupation of the Philip
pines only 0.0O7 per cent. of the sugar
and less than cool per cent. of the to-
bacco and its manufactures came from
the archipelago. With this minimum
of importation on the basis of IS per
cent. of the regular tariff levied On like
importations from foreign countries the
tobacco and sugar men have concluded
that they cannot be greatly hurt if the
tariff is taken off altogether.
The Philippines must be protected.

SENATE GETTING YOUNGER,

Pettus Now the Only Member Over 80
Facts About the New House.
In spite Of all efforts to the contrary,
the United States Senate seems to be
growing more youthful. Thirteen years
ago a careful computation was made,
from which it appeared that the aver
age age of it's members was so years.
There was then but eight who were less
than so years old and one who was less
than As. To-day the average age is
SO years and months, and in a, slightly
larger Senate there are fourteen men,
instead Of eight, who are less than so,
and Of these eight are less than Is.
This difference is doubtless due to the
new states which have come into the
Union since that time, whose political
leaders were naturally younger men.
The Delaware overturn has also given
the Senate two youthful members 1t is
almost a rule that the young States
have young Senators.
Only one Senator is more than so, Mr..
Pettus, the junior Senator from Alaba-
