REASONS.

One of the good reasons for
making a $1,000, 900 appropria-
ton for capitol buildings at Frank
fort was the fine water plant. We
would suggest that these buildings
be sky scrapers, that the various
stories be gained by use of elevat-
ors run by water motors, and that
the buildings be Of sufficient
height that the people from over
the hills may know that they are
there. If not this, then we would
favor a constitutional amendment
by which they be permitted to be
put on the hilltops and that the
elevator power in this event be
either electricity or steam.

According to reports that have
reached NJ. F. Johnson, Of Fern
Creek, the President of the Ken
lucky State Horticultural Society,
the State never had more fatter-
ing prospect at this time of the year
for a fine crop of fruit than it now
has. Mr.. johnson, who is also
Chairman of the Horticultural Com
mittee of the Kentucky Exhibit AS
ISOLATION, is taking advantage of
this flattering prospect to arrange
for a fresh fruit exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition for
the entire Worlds Fair period after
fruit begins to ripen. The exhibit
will be opened promptly on April
80, with cold storage fruit, 100 bar
rels of apples and pears having been
stored during the last fall. Mr..
johnson has just issued circular
to fruit growers and persons inter
ested in the exhibit IN every county
in the State, asking that an organ
ization be perfected at once, go
every county may be given repre-
sentation in the fresh fruit display.
After organizations are perfected
minute instructions are to be issued.
All shipping charges are to be paid
by the Kentucky Exhibit Associa-
tion

NOT IRONY.

Fair ARE profuse in their expires
sions of gratitude to the press for
their liberal donation of space"
for the furtherance Of the end,
namely: the securing Of 500, 900
by which Kentucky is enabled to
make creditable exhibits Of her
productions. This acknowledge
ment pleases us and we toss the
boquet to our efficient committee
workers. But for their wisdom
and untiring efforts in preparing
the articles, thereby educating the
people to liberal action, Kentucky
would have appeared small indeed.

every citizen to see that the choice

REPUTATION.

In an open letter from Governor
Beckham to the House OF Repre-
sentatives he completely refutes
the charges made by Senator Can
trill, of Scott. and places him in a
situation that will require much
explaining to give his real position
on the book bill. The Governor
in his terse language completely
puts to rest any question that
might be made as to his sincerity
as to the book bill, He cites
Democratic pledges and only asks
the ful6lment OF same. His
only object was to give the people
the best text books at the least
possible cost. Regarding TIL e
Senatorship he is Enthusiastically
plain and no man can now under
stand him to be a candidate for
Senator two years hence. That
he will make the best Governor
"of the best people on earth, q"
that it is possible for him to do, if
God permits him to live. He
could not remain silent under Can
trilps accusations, thereby permit
ting the peoples interests to suffer.

AN APPLICANT.

Major A. T. Wood of this city,

Wood deserves the place and

party would reward consistency,
laithfulness and courage it would
give Major Wood the position Of
Pension withoutopposition.

Russian cruiser which had escaped
from Vladivostok. Two transports
were sunk but the third after attempt
ing to ram the cruiser withdrew in a
sinking condition and was beached at

AS soon as the citizens of Nagasaki
learned of Hondaya's treachery they
raided the magnificent bazaar which
covers nearly an entire block and COM
pletely wrecked the place. The Japa-
nese officials We're extremely reticent
about giving out information but the
facts were learned from the police All
