adhered to them, they would have

like anarchy would have resulted. The

Much of a stalwart, and always an
irreconciIable. he opposed the nomi-
nation. or rather the Endorsement, of
Horace Greeley in 1872. Even then he
was a menace to the supremacy OF
James b. Beck in the famed Ashland
district, and he served notice on that
paladin that he was after that seat in
Congress. IT is very probable that
Beck would have beaten him, but in
1874 Beck gave way and Blackburn
was chosen the representative of that
historic constituency in the national
inquest. But it was no primrose path
of dalliance he trod to victory; on
the contrary quite the reverse-the
steep and thorny way. His competitor
was the famous Ed. Marshall, of that
remarkable Virginia and Kentucky
family who have contributed so much
of transcendent intellect and meteOric
brilliancy to American public life.
Marshall got the most applause, but
Joe got the most votes, and so Mar
shall again emigrated to California,
which State he had formerly repre-
scented in Congress- and where he be-
came attorney general not very great
while after his defeat by Blackburn.
Tt was the Forty-fourth Congress,

the Congress that began with the de-
bate between Blaine and Ben Hill,
Garfield and Lamar, on Bandall's am
nesty resolution; the Congress that ac-
cused Belknap; the Congress that in
vestigated Blaine; the Congress that
created the Electoral Commission the
Congress that had brains enough,
learning enough, eloquence enough for
half a. dozen common Congresses of
the present epoch. Blackburn was a
member of the Committee on Expendl-
lures in the War Department. Heis-
ter Clymer was the chairman, and 1T
was that committee that unearthed
the facts that resulted in the impeach-
ment of the Secretary of War. There
were numerous debates in the House
on the subject, and Blackburn precipi-
later himself into the arena with reck-
characteristic impetuosity and reck-
lessness, a Terrible cornet of Horse,
Sir Robert Walpole would have called
him. A handsome and a graceful
presence. a resonant and sonorous

Blackburn served in the Senate
twelve years and lost the seat when
the Democratic craft went to pieces
in the silver storm. But Blackburn did
not lose his vitality. A day came
when Kentucky returned to the Dem
Ocratic fold and Blackburn returned
TO the Senate. He took his seat In
1901, and next January the Legisla-
ture viii elect his successor. The ma
chine claims to have him badly beaten,
but Joe has been beaten that way
before. If the dupes of the machine
shall demand pay in advance there Is
nothing more certain than that Black
burn will get a fourth term in the
body Of which he is so picturesque a
member. When such a man has to
give place to a hopeless and helpless
mediocrity Kentucky loves to have the
Republicans make the arrangements,
and that will help Joe in the race.

1t was in 1879 that Blackburn was
put forward by the free traders as
their candidate for Speaker. Morrison
and Mills supported him, and he
would have secured the caucus NOM
nation against Randall but for the
conservatism of some Southern mem
bers, who did not think the Kentuck-
ian discreet enough for the position.

Tennessee, defeated him. Blackburn is

stream of words with which he mum

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS

John Mccarthy, the we'll know n

on Monday afternoon the same as
usual enjoying good health.
After doing some shopping, e
returned home and did his cnor. s
about the house and barn as usual.
When through he went Into the
house sat down in d chair, aid while
there was stricken with PARALYSIS.
he appeared TO be staring at his
wife and she asked him what he
wanted, he made DO response and she
finally went up 10 him and took him
by the hand and talked to him again
and he made no reply. She then
realized that he had suffered a stroke
of paralysis. He was speechless and
his right side was wholly helpless.
Tuesday morning he showed signs of
being able to recognize the family and
could use his left arm and limb. He
was in his 9th year and has always
enjoyed good health. The physicians
believe that he will recover the use of
the paralized side, at least they hope
so.
We sincerely hope that Mr.. Nc
Carthy will recover the use of his
paralized side and that he will be
able TO 1t about as formerly.

In Tuesdays issue of your paper. /
noticed an article which appealed to
me with something more than the
reading. 1t seemed to cali forth some
serious thought for our future
women The article | refer to is the
one regarding young girls being out
late at night, Now great deal
could be said about this matter,
some of which may help to open the
eyes of many a too indulgent mother
and thoughtless father. Many a
man and woman look back to just
those two failings in their parents
and say, if only they had been little
more strict, l should not he the
object of shame that | am today; but
it's too late now. So they struggle
on, an object of pity to the kind
hearted, and one of disgust to others
less lenient. Many a time when
my husband and l have returned
home from some social function we
have met young girls alone on the
street, or again slowly making their
Way home with some youth. 1t did
not seem to worry them that it was
II or / O'Clock. AS an instance l will
take sleigh ride party that was
given here not SO long ago by some of
our best children. They went to
NekooSa and did not return till II
O'Clock. The driver brought them as
far as the heart of town: and when
told by the chaperOn to take each one
home, he replied that he lad no
intention of killing The horses and
they must get out and walk. One
girl felt so badly that she could
scarcely keep from crying. One of
the boys agreed to take her home, as
she lived, so to speak in the country.
This girl. Is years of age, being throw n
on the mercy of boy, time and
again. How long will maidenly
pride and modeSty last? The time a
girl gets to the age where love and
happiness awaits her, she instead
will be food for the gCSsips. Some
parents say they are only young once;
let~them have good time. That is
very true: but why can't they have

will bring them home at a respectable

WEBB MEN ARE
USING DIPLOMACY

At the present time the principal
endeavor Of the Webb men appears
TO be directed towards diplomatic
kindness extended to political dire
licts. The Webb men, after all is
said and claimed, were the controlling
factors in the administration caucus
OF senators. SanbOrn, Wipperman.
Hatten, and Hudnall were placed in a
position where they chose to manifest
spirit OF fairness towards senators
outside of the pale of power and, as a
result, the Webb senators are receIv-
ing credit today for 4, engineering
through "A deal which did not en-
tirely kill off every man who in the
past has not seen tit to KOwtOW to
the political forces controlling state
politics.
The Webb senators have not only
done this, but have managed fairly
well to place themselves in position
where they will command influence.
To just what extent their conduct
was directed by what they hope to
gain in the senatorial campaign, can
not be stated. They are receiving
credit among the senators generally
for playing politics and. besides this,
have raised no unnecessary an
tagonlSmS among the senators
affiliated with other camps.
Have Acted Fairly Toward Opponents.
Sanborn, Wipperman, and Hudnall
were selected as members of the
special committee TO dispose of the
senate committeeships, and in this
capacity acted manifeStly fair to the
senators who Will line up in support
OF other candidates. than that of
Webb. After the announcement of
committee appointments were made,
the Webb men were thanked for the
part they played.
These facts are stated here to show
the significance of the plan made by
the Webb senators to cOnciliate the
support of other candidates. The
Quarles men appreciate this and it is
more than likely that if an attempt
is made TO concentrate upon La
Foliette for the senate, the Webb
men in the administration forces will
be IN position to protect themselves.

No More Stomach Troubles.

A stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by
digesting what you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up
the body, the rest restores the
stomach to health. You don't have
to diet yourself when taking Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. ]. D. Erskine. of
Allenville, Mich, says, Il suffered
heartburn and stomach trouble for
some time. My sister-in-law has had
the same trouble and was not able to
