Revs. Messrs. Pinkerton, Newell and
Robinson, Psducah, Ky.
Gentlemen:
In reply to your communication will
say the mayor and fire commissioners
have always given strict instructions
to enforce all laws and ordinances,
and / have so instructed the police
and l believe they are using their best |
endeavors to enforce the laws.
Officers in uniform often find it
difficult TO find violAtors Of law, bat |
believe the officers are honestly trying
to do their duty.
In place Of making such sweeping
charges, il the parties complaining
would make known to me. as chief of
police. where proof can be had of these
alleged violations, | will certainly use
my best efforts to see that the evils
complained of are corrected.
Furthermore, the statements made
by Mr.. Hanna of the Y. NJ. O. A. are
not borne out by the facts. If he is
the Christian gentleman he claims to
be, and is SO DESTROYS of the enforce
ment Of the law, why does he not in
form me as chief Of police, as never in
one instance has he complained to me.
l do not doubt there are violations of
law, as in all large towns ana cities.
but great deal Of such talk of viola
tions are exaggerated and not such as
can be sustained 10 courts.

JAS. f. GROW,

From Scott City.
DITOR DEMOCRAT:

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Our lot up here is hard one; our
crops are generally poor; there is not
over half of the wheat that will make
40 bushels per acre; there is little
that is as low as 80 bushels per acre;
it is all light, chafy stuff and hardly
any of it tests over~65 lbs. Oats and
barley are also ornery-the best of
them not making over 80 bushels per
acre. Kafircorn and sorghum that
is sowed is little, sickly truch, not
over 6 feet high and begun to head.
It rained out here all of this spring
and thus far on the summer. Had
the Bends late ex-mayor come out
here and taught us the advantages of
water, internal and external, there
could have been larger prohibition
society formed and grand Cambelite
camp meeting held; but alasl the
golden opportunity is past.
DR.. Bailey who is playing Governor,
will hear something drop little over
a year hence in the west third of Kan
sas. According to that duck. our
horses all have the itch, our cattle the
mango, our wheat is wet and children
lousey. He has not yet accused US
of having worms; doubtless he has
them.
Under all these adverse conditions
the land agents have put up the price
of land till they are asking from two
to four dollars per acre for raw land,
and to close up the circle Of the Bar
ton county delegations misery, the
DEMOCRAT printed full page picture
of the Barton County Fair grounds,
with the races on, and Memo Best
and "Dexter" a full half ring in the
lead of Dock and Weltmer, and still
gaming; when the editor knew we
were anxious to be there.
While most of our cows have two
calves apiece, he also knew we could
not sell any of them and come down,
all on account of DIR. Bailey's order,
that is rubbing Baileyism in on US.
He will not avoid punishment in this
world or the next.
The Barton delegation was dis
cussing that new-fangled 8-hour rule
down in Barton. Is it 8-hours day
or week, with the same pay? If it is
not week, why not? It would then
be easy to work out.

And That's S No Lie.

The party who wrote the following
is sound on the political question.
1t is clipped from the Troy Democrat,
and is said to have been furnished by
young lady:
The politician is my shepherd.
I shall not want for any good thing
during the campaign.
He leadeth me into the saloon for
my votes sake.
He filleth my pockets with fine
cigars,
And my beer glass runneth over.
He enquireth concerning my family
even unto the fourth generation.
Yea, though I walk through the
mud and rain
To vote for him,
And shout myself hoarse, when he
is elected
He straightway forgetteth me.
Yea, when meet him in his Office
He knoweth me not.
Surely the wool
Hath been pulled over mine eyes,
All the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the
House of obscurity forever.

Wait moment, young man.
You say you haven't been given a
fair chance in life to make something
of yourself.
Look at William E. Corey, who
has just been elected president of the
United States Steel Corporation at
salary that would make a man rich in
one year.
Do you think he had pull?
He did. Fifteen years ago Corey
was pushing a wheelbarrow in the
yards of one Carnegie's mills in Brad
dock. And this was his "pull.'
He wheeled so much more iron in
day than the men at his elbow that
he was soon made foreman over
them.
In other words Corey wasn't afraid
to 'do 50 worth of work for dollar, !"
a fear that besets young men today.
When Corey became foreman it
was noticed that he got twice as much
work out of his men. He didn't t
swear at his men. They never
grumbled at the boss. They re-
spected him.
Carnegie began promoting Corey.
And Corey worked hard. He had
only fair common school education.
He studied at night. He took up a
course in a correspondence school.
In time he became an expert chemist
BY and by he was an authority on
armor plate. He knew more about
armor plates than anyone in the mills.
There was only one thing for Car
negie to do. He made Corey super
intendent of that department. Corey
increased the output.
That's all.
Only remember this: He wheeled
so much more iron ore than the men
at his elbow. w.n-Omaha News.

THE FAIR.

An extended notice of the
Fourth Annual Barton County
Fair. now on, and to close on
Friday the 2Sth, cannot be given
this week. Suffice to say that
the Fair is almost up to what
was expected in the way of ex-
hibits. The busy threshing sea-
son has been responsible for
some stock, that was expected,
not being brought in, as also the
somewhat smaller attendance
the first two days.
The Art Hall and Machinery
Hall are fairly well filled, and
many handsome and expensive
displays are made by the mer-
chants. The fruit exhibit is not
up to the .standard-this being a
bad year for fruit.
What stock is shown is of the
highest grades, and the races SO
far have been as good as any in
former years. We hope to pub
lish list of the premium win
ners in the next weeks issue Of

Steam PIow A Success.

Through the kindness of Will Ap-
pei we were permitted to ride out to
the Shonyo farm Tuesday evening,
where II. w. Hohl was at work with
his steam plow. The plow, ten disc
affair, works to perfection, blowing to
an average depth of 5 inches. Some
little difficulty was experienced in
low, wet places, as the wheels of the
engine would slip, but when the
ground dries out a little more, no
trouble will be met with along this
line. 1t takes four men to manipulate
the machine-one to run the
engine. one to guide, one to look
after the plow, and one to haul water.
One team is used on the water wagon.
Taking into consideration that this
is saving of horse flesh to the ex
tent of twenty head, the plow is :
decided success all around.-Bush

The Negro Question.

In spite of the efforts of some of
the politicians, the negro question is
rapidly pushing forward for recogni-
ton in this county. When the war.
closed and the slaves had been freed,
and later were given full rights of
citizenship, many of the best men in
the nation were of the opinion that
the question of the negro was out of
the way. This was doubtless true
for the time being, but of late it
seems to be very much in the way.
1t has always been said to the
detriment of the South, that the
negro was mistreated, and not given
the same chance that a white man
had, and OF that proposition the
republican press and politicians of
the north have been continually
making political capital. They have
pointed to the numerous lynchings in
the South, no matter for what cause,
and have frequently become very
virulent in denunciation of the
Southern people. One does not hear
quite so much of this now, owing, no
doubt, to the fact that colored people
are being lynched in the north for no
worse crimes than in the south, and
about as often. For instance, we
have had two lyncbed in the great
state of Illinois in the past thirty
days, one because of the killing of
school superintendent, and one
growing out of an interference with a
mob who were after victim that had
assaulted white woman. Just think
Of itl Illinois, the state which gave
US the great emancipation, and the
man who led the victorious hosts of
the North in a struggle brought
about by the slavery question, and
which gave us love, joy and many
other distinguished abolitionists, and
which has given US many a Southern
skinner" because of the conditions
existing South, both press and orators,
and in thirty days time presents
itself to the world with mobs whose
hands are reeking with the blood of
lynched colored men. Is it not
about time we began to look for
solution of the question, one way or
another? Either we must give the
black man such protection, and the
white lyncher such punishment, as
will put an end to the condition
existing or else provide some method
of elimination, by immigration. At
any rate, the North should cease to
point the finger of scorn at the South.
