COUNTY ATTORNEY
WILL BRING SUIT.
Says FaYette Has Deprived
Breathitt of ALI IFS officers.

County Attorney w. H. Blanton,
of Breathitt county, in an interview
with reporter for The Herald,
stated that he intended to bring
suit against FayeJte county in the
Federal Court for depriving Breath
lit county of its officers without APP
pointing temporary officers to take
their places. He says: "Now that
Fayette county has assumed guar
dianship of Breathitt county. it has
not done its duty as guardian"
AS result of the Court of Appeals
granting Fayette county jurisdic-
tion in the cases of the Hargises
and Callahan and the application
for bail of the prisoners every Of
ficer of Breathitt county has been
summoned to Fayette county as
witnesses In the trial, and the citi
zens of Breathitt county are totally
without protection. If a killing
had occurred at jackson or in
Breathitt county last night there
would not have been an officer in
the county before which the war
rant could have been sworn out or
by whom, if sworn out, could have
been executed. Those officers in
Dreathitt county who were in Lex
ington last night as a result of the
trial are; County Judge James
Hargis and Sheriff Callahan, locked
up in the county jail; County At
torney w. H. Blanton, a witness /;
T. H. Hudson, Deputy County
Clerk, the County Clerk is away
from Jackson on business; M. A.
Spencer, Deputy Sheriff; Election
Commissioners James Brophy and
M. S. Crane, are here as witnesses.
There has been no Magistrate APP
pointed in the place of Squire Ed
wards. ut would be an excellent
time for reign of terror to begin,
with no one to stop it," says Coun-
ty Attorney Blanton. "One drum
ken man could do enough damage
to have Breathitt county published
to the world, and there would be no
officers in jackson to bring him to
justice. Lexington Herald, March
%.
The Commonwealth is now hav-
ing occasion to decide which would
be better for the county, officers or
no officers.

Are They Worth $4,000.

Congress allowed Hunter, Ed
wards and White each two thousand
dollars for election purposes In the
row over the seat from the Eleventh
District. This, added to the ten
thousand which Hunter will draw
as salary, makes sixteen thousand
dollars paid for the district to be
represented III that body.
The question that most concerns
the people is this: "Are the SER
vices of the three worth $16,00J?"
Were that district declared vacant
for term would most likely be
better for the people.

One of the Last Acts.

The Fifty eighth Congress, among
it's last acts, passed a bill author
izing the return of Confederate
battle flags held at Washington, to
the several States. Commenting
upon this act, and the unanimity
with which it went through both
houses of Congress, Gen. Stephen
D. Lee, Commander in Chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, says :;
81 would be derelict in my duty
not to give expression to the salts
faction that fills the heart of every
Confederate veteran for the una
nimity with which the National
Legislature passed the bill restor-
ING the Confederate battle flags to
the several States and the readiness
with which the measure was APP
proved by the President. This
action of fresh evidence that there
are now in our grand country no
sectional lines-no South, no North,
East or West-but we are all
Americans, devoted to our common
country. And / urge upon all par
ties, North or South, who have col
ors in their possession, to return
them at once TO the State Capitols. "

John Creeps Wickliffe Beckham,

world on March 81 at Norton In
Urinary, Louisville. Gov Beckham
is delighted with his new son, and
great hopes are entertained tor the
future of this young scion of race
of Governors. If there is anything
in heredity j. G. w. Beckham, Jr.,
will be well justified in regarding
the "chair" with favor and appre-
citation. He is the great-grandson,
great-nephew and the son of Gov

/. creation of Joint commission Of mas
tiers and workmen, chosen by them
selves, TO investigate the cause of dis
content among the laborers has made
an exceedingly good impression, be-
ing considered definite evidence OF the
governments purpose to compel some
of the rapacious masters who have
paid starvation wages to do justice to
their employees.
The imperial decree ordering the
formation Of the committee reposes
the presidency of the body in Senator
Chidlovski, a member of the council
OF the empire, and instructs the COM
mittee to ascertain Immediately the
causes Of discomfort Of st. Petersburg
workmen and devise measures to pre-
vent such discomfort in the future.
The comm tee consists of representa-
tives of government departments, the
various industries, and the workmen.

The Cars Announcement.
St. Petersburg, By Cable.-The news
that Emperor Nicholas has endorsed
the scheme for the revival of the Zem-
sky Seabor, or ancient land parlia.
ment, which the old Emperors invoked
in times Of stress, has spread through
the city and created intense satisfac-
tion among liberal classes. The news
papers this morning were filled with
articles descriptive Of this ancient Rus
sian institution, indicating that word
had gone forth that the government
had decided to listen to the voice OF
representatives of the people. Natur-
ally, there Is some skepticism as to
whether the government intends frank.
ly to take the steps, but the general
verdict is that If the Emperor has sue
ceeded in shaking of reactionary In
fluences and now proceeds In good
faith to summon the Zemsky Seabor,
they will rally To his support the mod
crate Liberals, and perhaps arouse a
wave of genuine enthusiasm In the
country. Liberals are convinced that
the meeting of such a representative
body must e followed by important
and widespr lad reforms.

the cotton the finger was found IN
came from of course cannot be ascer-
tanned, but 1t is thought 1t must have
been here in Union county, as Monarch
