viding line between tina politician and
the statesman. and needs to be clear
ly drawn. The one is ever eager to
discern and follow the popular will
to tack his sails for every favoring
breeze and ride into the harbor of
temporary success. The other, under
standing the profound philosophy OF
political history, holding clearly de
fined views on great questions Of gov
ernmental policy, and scornilg to adj
vocate measures that are not essen
TALLY right and for the best interests
of his country, has the lofty courage
to warn the people against impend-
ing danger, though he may have to go
down for awhile under the ban of
popular opinion. l honor the man
who has the courage to be in the mi
nority-who stands for the right
though the thunders rive him and all
men forsake him. Sometimes the
penalty of true leadership is to be
lonesome-and to be misunderstood.
But only such as can serenely endure
the strain are worthy the suffrages
of their countrymen.
"'Once to every man and nation comes
Jne moment TO declQe.
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
for the good or evil side;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
while the coward stands aside,
Doubling in his AFFECT spirit, till his
Lord is crucified.'
"Mr Russell was a genuine patriot.
He loved his country-and the whole
country. While in perfect accord with
the interests and better sentiments
of the great section In which he was
born and to which his life was devot-
ed, his patriotism was not bounded by
party or sectional lines, He honored
the past, but had his face to the ful-
ture. He pathetically loved the South,
but sincerely revered the flag of the
nation. He cherished the herioc deeds
of his fathers, but had heart of even
larger hope for their worthy sons.
"All of you who knew that great
hearted man, will agree with me, that
his highest ambitions were for his
country's good. He desired no prefer
ment if at the expense of what his
people regarded as the wisest admin
istration of their public affairs.
But, gentlemen, | must not longer
trespass upon your time. My only re-
greet is, that sufficient intimation was
not given, so that | might say some
thing worthy of the great Mississip-
plan, whose untimely death we all SO
deeply deplore. Genial, jovial, hon.
est magnanimous, magnetic Jud Rus
sell. when shall we see his like again!
He had few faults, some frailitiea and
many virtues. Let us avoid the one
and emulate the other May the dews
fall gently and the winds sigh softly
over the peaceful grave of one who
served his Lord and loved his fellow
men"

COMMENT AND CRITICISM.
killinu Many Bills.

The working committees of the two
houses of the legislature are now
slashing right and left on pending
bills, and the calendars are being de-
luged each day with measures unfa-
vorably reported. The liquor traffic
committee of the senate gave the
black eye to several bills seeking to
restrict the liquor traffic, conspicuous
among the number being the MCGEE
bill prohibiting the shipment of liquor
from wet" counties into the dry"
counties, ald forbidding railroad and
express companies from handling this
class of traffic.
Over 800 bills have been introduced
since the legislature convened, and
fully go per cent of the number has al
ready been slaughtered.

Insurance Legislation.

The friends of the Cole insurance
bill are not anticipating a great
amount of trouble in securing the pas.
sage of the measure.
Since the comAittee eliminated the
clause seeking entire repeal of the
valued policy law, and seeks to repeal
this clause only insofar as it relates to
personal property, many of tie objec.
lions raised by members have been re-
moved and the only fight of conse-
quence to be made will be from those
members who are opposed to making
any changes whatever.
Accompanying the insurance amend
ments is a bill seeking to exempt in.
surance companies from the anti-com
pact law, SO as to permit them &c
maintain rate-making organizations
This bill is simply a re-enactment OF
the Noel antitrust law,

CENTERTOWN TERRORIZED.
Bad Whisky and Pistols Used
by Two Young Men
Caused the Dis
turbance.

Last Monday late In the afternoon,
John Abner and Paul Peyton filled up
on bad whisky, filled their pants
pockets full of guns and swooped
down on the otherwise quiet village
OF Centertown and proceeded to ter
rorize her citizens In a manner that
will not soon be forgotten. They
were first noticed near the we'll in
front OF Rowe & Morton's store In a
maudlin drunk condition but not ap-
parently hindering or bothering any
body, but In a short while they show
ed up In Rowe & Morton's store and
demanded something to eat. Being
asked by the clerk, Claudis Render,
what they wished. one Of them res
pended In a quite emphatic way that
they wanted cheese and that d-n
quick, at the same time drawing two
large revolvers from his pockets and
placing them before him on the
counter. Their wishes we're soon
supplied and much more would have
been theirs for the asking. They
continued their outlawry by repairing
to the streets and proceeding to pro-
tame at every one aud every thing
they saw and otherwise make 1t un-
pleasant for the citizens Of the town.
Finally the marshal, assisted by the
citizens, succeeded In taking the
intruders into custody and landed
them In the city lookup where they
remained until Tuesday morning
when trials were had which resulted
In heavy fines against each Of them.

HEADLESS MAN,
ANDERSON COUNTY RESI-
DENTS SEEING GHOSTS.
Believed to be Aerial Navigator
Making Experiments -Will
be Watched with Big
Instruments.

Lawrenceburg. KY. May 3.-The
people residing along quiet Chaplin
, river are suffering the intense agony
of ghostly horrors. Several weeks
ago Peter Carey. a we'll known resi-
dent, while out late at night, observ-
ed a fierce looking apparatus passing
through the air above him at rapid
gate. 1t resembled a shooting mete-
or, or comet, but moved back and
forth over the same aerial course.
Upon closer observation he could see
distinctly a headless man, apparently
standing upon what appeared to be a
large plank. He told his neighbors
OF the mistiiying sights which he had
witnessed, and the whole neighbor-
hood stood at watch the following
night, and promptly at 10 O'Clock
the headless man began darting
through the atmosphere.
The more scholarly residents OF the
Chaplin river section. after viewing
the hesdless man with the iustIu-
ments. have about come to the con-
clusion that the terrifying object is
an amateur genius who has invented
flying machine, and that he Is max
Ing personal test OF 1t at night In
order to prevent the publicity OF 1t
before he gets the apparatus thorough
ly perfected. This Is very reasona-
bic conclusion, and serves to account
for the man appearing hea1less, for
In passing through the air at such
great velocity ne would be compelled
to hold his head towards his breast
to prevent the wind from taking his
breath.
