JUDGE CANTRILL
May Resign From Kentucky
Court of Appeals.
IlI-Health Will Cause Him to Make
Way For SncceSsor---Conrt
0verwOrked.

Frankford, KY, July 25.-What is
considered here a practically author
itative statement is made of the ap-
preaching resignation from the
bench of the Kentucky Court of APP
peals Judge Jas. f. Cantrill. The re-
signation is expected to be presented
about September Is, and either Mr.
J. d. Carroll, of Henry county, or
Judge Watts Parker, of Lexington,
will be appointed to the vacancy.
Within the last few days statement
have been made by members of
Judge Cantrill's family that Judge
Cantrill has determed, if he was I'M
able to occupy the bench upon the
converting the Court of Appeals in
September, that he would then for
ward his resignation to Gov. Beck
ham. Simultaneous with this comes
the announcement that while Judge
CantrilPs health shows some i'm
provement. that his physicians do
not think he will be able to do any
work for at least a year.
Judge Cantrill has never been able
to sit since his election. and his abb
sence has seriously crippled the Court
of Appeals. He was able to come to
Frankfort to be sworn in, but his
malady took a change for the worse
soon thereafter, and he was forced
to Immediately leave for Hot
Springs. The Court of Appeals has
since been running with only six
judges, and not only has tremen-
dous amount of work been thrown
upon these judges, but many impor-
tant cases are hung up because of a
disagreement between judges, which
can only be settled by the presence
of seventh Judge.

A FARMERS CLUB
To Be Organized in the County
the First Monday in
August.

Col. |. b. Nall ,ex-Commissioner of
Agriculture, will be at Hartford
Monday, August 7th, for the pur-
pose of interesting the farmers of
Ohio county in the organization of a
Farmers Club. Col. Nall will come
as the representative of Commission
er Vreeland and should be greeted
by large number of the sturdy
farmers of the county. He will de-
liver an address at one o'clock p. m.
in the interest of the farmers.
The Department of Agriculture, of
which Mr.. Nall was formerly the
head, has organized about thirty
Farmers Clubs in the State and it
is the desire of the department to
have an organization in every coun-
ty in Kentucky. The benefits of
such organizations, backed by the
State Department of Agriculture,
should be patent to every farmer.
By referring to any of the counties
where these organizations have been
effected you will find that they are
highly pleased with the results OBJ
tanned and that the Farmers lnsti-
tutes held under the auspices of this
Department and the local clubs have
resulted in great benefit to the
farmers.
Every one should come to hear
Col. Nall he has a message that will
do the tillers of the soil inestimable
good.

GRAFT CHARGED.
State Inspector Hines Alleges that
Harrison has Pocketed $1,000
of State Money.

Frankfort, Ky. July % State In
spector Henry B. Hines. in report
to Gov. Beckham, made this after
noon, of his investigation OF the
charges perferred against Revenue
Agent A. M. Harrison, of Lexington
in connection with a settlement of a
suit for omitted taxes against the
Ford Lumber Company, of Clark
county. makes the charge that Har-
rison accepted the sum of 81 900 in
cash in consideration of his agreeing
to settlement by the Ford Lumber
Company of tax and penalty claim
against it amounting to 81, 400, by
payment of only $500. He says that
the money was paid to Harrison on
July 4 last, in the city of Lexington,
and that Harrison refused to accept
check for the thousand dollars,
but demanded it in cash. and it was
so paid by a representative OF the
company. Inspector Hines says that
Agent Harrison has omitted to ac-
count for the money he has so receiv-
ed, and that the State of Kentucky
and county of Clark have no record
of the transaction further than the
action filed to recover 81, 400 and its
settlement for the sum of $3.50.

their proper place in the vinyard of

the men are. Eight of these counties
are organized on the county work
plan, and have a membership of
1882. Ninety-eight counties have
no definite organized religious work
for the 22l 800 young men residing
in them, and these should form the
legitimate field of the county work
department. In our own county we
have four towns with a population
of over 500 where rooms should be
opened for young men during the
next year, eight other towns
where young mems meetings should
be held regularly. There are also
many other points in the county
where at least weekly bible class
can be held; and thus bring multi
tude of men and boys in Ohio coun-
ty under wholesome influences at
least once week that now only meet
on their regular preaching Sundays
and many and nearly all meeting

Chain man Shonts of the Panama
canal commission and the newly APP
pointed chief engineer. John F.
Stevens, have started for the isthmus
to take their first look at the great
engineering problem on the ground.
Both of them are extremely hopeful
and both agree that the cleaning up
of the Isthmus and the inauguration
of clubs and other entertainments
that will keep the canal employees
happy and satisfied are very impor-
tant problems in the work. They
will be dealt with as soon as practi-
cable. Mr.. Shonts thinks that sea
level canal will take about twenty
years to build. but that lock canal
can be constructed in about five
years.

THE IRON BRIDGES.
More Light on the Secrecy Shown
in Handling the Peoples
Money.

THF REPUBLICAN wants to.know,
and its readers want to know, how,
when and where contracts calling for
many thousands of dollars for build
ing new iron bridges, and abutments
will be let. And the business rivals
of the Champaign Bridge Co., want
this information fully as much as
the taxpayers, and for the same
reason.
The Bridge Companies feel that
they are as much entitled todbid on
the work as the Champion Bridge
Co., and the people are interested in
knowing that the taxes they pay are
expended for improvement done by
the lowest and best bidder.
We have not charged any one with
grating, but we say that the letting
of contracts for public work, the
building of iron bridges if you.please.
in this county should be made by
public bid to the lowest land best
bidder. If this is not done, theymen
who have the letting of such con-
tracts invite the charge.
Ohio county had an experience
with private contracts in :, the build
ing of our Court House that scost
her thousands of dollars, and this
past week one of the largest Bridge
companies in the county wrote,C oun-
ty Clerk M. S. Ragland offering to
pay him to find out whether or not
the contract for the building OF /. the
new iron bridges ordered by recent
term of Fiscal Court would be by
public bid, and if so, when and
where.
Mr.. Ragland does not know land
has been unable to find out how,
when or where the contracts will be
made. Neither do the people. Know,
but they are entitled to this informa-
ton, and entitled to it as early Las
practicable.
1t will not do to announce the
time and place few days before the
contract is let: Such a policy de-
prives all foreign companies of a
chance to figure on the work or bid
intelligently.
We wish to say that this is not a
party question. 1t is question of
public policy and public faith that
concerns every man who pays taxes
in the county. The gentlemen in
control of this affair owe it to them
selves and to their constitutes to
make public announcement of the
time, place and manner of letting
these contracts. The columns of
The REPUBLICAN are open to the
gentlemen. They can by a few brief
words, remove all question and in
sure that the county's work will be
let to the lowest and best bidder.
Gentlemen, will you do it?

THE CHINESE NOTE,
Will Probably Have but Little
Weight.
Much Important Work for the
Coming Session Of Con
greSS.
OTHER WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Wash lngton, ID. c.. July lit
seems from the text of the Chi
nese note that has just been re-
ceived in Washington, that China did
not after all ask for representation
at the Peace Conference at Port
mouth. The note from her was re-
ceived at Washington and addressed
i'm identical terms to the other powers
stating that she would not agree to
any settlement of the question at
issue between Russia and Japan that
did not recognize her sovereign
claims in Manchuria. The note has
been forwarded to the President at
Oyster Bay. A similar warning, for
it is nothing less in tone, has been
sent by the Chinese'government toSt.
Petersburg and to Tokyo. Whatever
China has to say on the snbjest pro-
badly will have but little weight. but
the mere fact that she has thought
it necessary to address such a note
to the negotiating powers and to
define her position to the rest of the
sword indicates that she has not all
the faith she might have in the as
surance of Japan that her war
against Russia was not for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and that she intend
ed TO return intact whatever terrific
ny of China she wrested from the. Rus
slams on the mainland. China will
of course be assursd of the moral
support of this government in pre-
serving her integrity but it would he
little curious if the Portsmouth
conference brought about any agree
ment between Japan and Russia that
would call for warning on the sub
ject from the United States and the
other powers.

The work of the coming session OF
Congress probably will be too great
to admit any extensive investigation
into the question of tariff revision.
These are several subjects in which
the President is deeply interested
and tariff revision is one of them.
The Panama canal and railway rate
revision are two others and there
probably will be good deal to do in
the Philippines as result of Secre-
tary Taft's trip there. Just what
will have to be done to meet the
Treasury deficit is not yet clear.
Possibly reimposition Of the Spanish
War taxes or an increase of the in
ternal revenue taxes may be adopted,
but as much as the executive would
like a thorough overhaullng of the
tariff schedules, it is probable that
this will have to be put off in favor
of some more speedy temporary re-
.smedy.
