Do KentuckianS Want Ii.
Louisville Herald

Do we of Kentucky now so proud
ly progressive and prosperous, want
return to the evil days of the last
era of Democratic misrule, from
1893 to 1897? The late Senator Vest,
of Missouri. speaking in the Senate
May rs, 1897, on the conditions pre-
vailing in the country under the pre-
vious Democratic administration,
made certain avowals which, coming
from Democrat of his eminence,
are now deserving of reproduction.
We are on the eve of a contest in
which Free Trade versus Protection
is to be the issue. No more con-
sistent and courageous Democrat in
the Senate at that time than the
chivalrous Vest of Missouri. For
himself and his Democratic collea-
CUES he said:
1--WE fully appreciate the desper-
ate condition of the country. We
know how many ruined homes, how
many broken hearts, how many
blasted hopes, now surround the
Congress of the United States. and
if prosperity can come from any
source, even from our political OPP
popents, we shall welcome it; and
not only welcome it, but bless the
moment in which it comes"
Whence. the country's desperate
condition, the ruined homes, the
broken hearts, the blasted hopes,
surrounding Congress? From the
effort to rob the country of its pro-
tective tariff. Did prosperity re-
turn at Republican call? Undoubt-
eddy; and prosperity has here ever
since made it's abode. Senator Vest
added:
my State is a large agricultural
State-one of the largest in the I'm
ion. In my life, now verging upon
thre. score years and ten, | have
never seen in that land Of plenty
such ruin and depression as exists
to-day"
Senator Bate, of Tennessee, anoth-
err gallant ex-Confederate and a
leading Democrat, declared July 6.

very painful accident near this
place this morning. He, with a
party of gentlemen from Newburg,
was on their way home from trip to
Mammoth Cave, on a small covered
barge, which was being lowed by a
gasoline yacht. They tied up here
last night. This morning they start
ed out early in order to get to Rum
sey before the locks would be closed
on account of being repaired. Mr..
Libbert went to the back of the boat
in order to remove some water that
had accumulated from the rain, and
while standing near the line shaft
his overalls were caught by the shaft
and wound so tightly that his leg
was badly crushed, breaking both
bones below the knee. He was
brought to the hotel and Drs. Beard
and Ford dressed the wounds. One
of the party will remain here with
him until he can be removed to his

COMPANY /
Returns From Henderson En-
) campment.
Boys Acquitted Themselves With
Honor--The Experience Will
Do Them Good.
COMPANY H

The members of Company H..
Kentucky Dational Guard, returned
from the Henderson encampment
early yesterday morning, having ex-
perienced an all night railroad trip.
The boys were a little worn and
sleepy, but still full of ginger and
game to the core. The trip has
been great benefit TO the boys in
giving them good idea of soldier
life. and thorough instruction in all
details of the camp as well as the
minutiae Of drill.
Although new and untried, our
Company took high rank in the reg
(ment from the very first of the en-
campment, and was complimented
on all sides for its perfect work and
manly, soldierly bearing of the boys
whenever called upon for any duty
by the superior officers.
At target practice, without any
experience whatever with the guns
used. the members of Company II
all made high scores, and il is freely
predicted that with some practice
the regimental medal would have
been captured. Private Owen Am
brose, with a score of l04 captured
the Company medal and was the
third highest man during the en-
campment. This will give him a
trip to Seagirt next year to shoot at
National range practice. This will
be a fine trip for him, with all his
expenses paid and 81 per diem.
We are all proud of Company II
and expect great things Of the boys
in the future.
The Company now has two mas
cots a dog and cat which were
presented and will be carefully car
ed for until next year.

in POND RIVER
Forest Wick, of Owensb0r0, Is
Drowned While Bath
ing.

Forest Wick, seventeen years of
age, a son of Mr.. G. M. Wick, of
Greensboro, was drowned in Pond
river, two and a half miles from
Sacramento. shortly after noon Mon
day. Wick was with a surveying
party.
The members of the party became
hot and tired and decided to go in
the river. The recent rains caused
the river to rise about ten feet and
the current was very swift. There
were number of logs in the water
and the Wick boy and the other
members of the party were riding
on them.
Wick was seen to go around bend
in the river and when he did not re-
turn the members of the party called
to him. They received no answer
and at once became alarmed. Sew
eral of the men ran down the river
hank but found no trace of the boy.
1t is supposed that he attempted to
swim from the log to the shore and
the current carried him under the
water. The body has not been re-
covered.
Wick was a newsboy on the o. and
N. train for number of years and
was popular.

in childhood. boyhood and manhood
and it thrills my soul when my mind
drifts back to the days when we
were playmates on common play
ground. Many a day did we spend
together on the playground of the
district school and but little did we
know of the cares and turmoils of
matured manhood. When ! reflect,
it seems as yesterday that we were
together, either knocking persim-
mons, gathering hickory nuts, or
basking ourselves in the mellowness
of an autumnal sunlight. As | said
at first, | knew David lgleheart from
childhood and | never knew him to
commit bad deed in school; like
wise in boyhood and young manhood
he was truthful, honest and upright,
a public spirited and generous
hearted citizen. May we emulate
his example, WATT TAYLOR.

The Moral Effect of Dancing.

Nc mural EIIcCt vi UdHIiuR.
Editors REPUBLICAN: - However
much we may differ, the leaders of
all denominations, both Catholic and
Protestant, agree that much harm
comes from the modern dance. Re-
Gently, The Central Methodist"
published a letter which Bishop
William Stang, of the Fall River
Diocese of the Roman Catholic
Church, ordered read in the Roman
Catholic churches. of that diocese.
This letter sets forth many of the
evil effects of dancing as Bishop
Stang views it. In the letter the
bishop says: 1T is forbidden to
have dancing on Saturday nights
and Sundays. Saturday night
dances lead to dissertation of the
Lords day; they have been d source
of misery and scandal in the past,
they must be stopped at once. While
calling the attention of you people
to the diocesan statute forhdding
them, you will denounce. with apps.
tai freedom and zeal indiscriminate
and lascivious dances so common in
our days.
THE world may sheer at such
teachings and call our denunciations
exaggerations and unreasonable ex-
action without solid foundation.
The silly girl sees no harm in going
to dances until like the unwary
butterfly that gets too near the
flame. she has the wing of her soul
signed by the flame of impure love,
and her innocence has vanished for
ever, leaving her the dark prospects
of ruined future, if not an early
CARVE of shame.
THE fathers and doctors are un'
animous in branding the custom of
dancing as an infectious sink of inn
purity and obsenity. as the school of
vice and the grave of innocence y
1t is our duty to admonish the
faithful how they sin. not only
against God, but against society,
their families, against themselves
by taking part in these dances oil
countenancing them by their pres
ence.
That this extract from Bishop
Stang's letter shows the spirit and
tendency of the modern dance there
is not much room for doubt. &.
am sorry to know that we have
some in our town who seem to be
captured by the desire to dance. and
that we even have a public hall
where dancing is INDUCED IN; land Of
ten till the late hours of night.
Parlor dancing is bad enough, but
the public ball where the public
character of low grade is equal tc
the most pure, is much worse. The
greatest harm of one possibly is that
it leads to the other. beg the par
ents of this town not to risk the
character of their daughters to the
care of a custom that has destroyed
its thousands. To this scribe the
late hours kept at this public place
is not a redeeming feature. To my
mind midnight is a time when young
people should be asleep under the
home roof or some place of equa
safety. This public hall is also g
rival of the churches, young people
often being attracted there wher
they should be worshipipg God.
May the lord bless him who runs
this hall with better thing, and de
liver our young people from its
dangers. LOVER OF PURITY.
