A sERIors ACCUsATION.

In the course of an editorial OF
the zone Man Power" which the
Courier Journal said controlled al
things Democratic in Kentucky anc
brought the party low, that well in
formed newspaper relates;
II all the circumstances enter
ing into the shake-up given the
Democratic organization of Lou
isville by the Democratic organ
ization of Frankfort could be
plainly set forth the people
would draw back with ameze-
ment and horror.
The strange thing about 1t,
however, was not so much its
discreditable origin and purpose
as its lack of wisdom and fore
cast in politicians claiming to be
practical and recognizing no law
except their own advantage.
Conceding that Il was in Itself
n good thing for good govern
ment. how could the self-aggran-
dizing men behind it have imag-
ined that It would inure to their
profit? 1t gave the Republicans
their chance and they were
quick TO improve 1t.
If this rather vague charge may b'
interpreted to mean that the cour
of appeals was manipulated by th'
state machine and reversed the JET
ferson county circuit court, oustinI
the local Democratic officials-elect il
the 1905 election cases, then, indeed
is the reflection a serious one, an'
well founded are the charges tina
Democracy in Kentucky has sub
yerted the courts of justice to tn
purposes Of politics and set Grim
upon the bench. When our court
become mere tools of machine poll
ticians and we may no longer lool
for justice, there is something so rot
ten somewhere that nothing can re
def the body polite but the tota
eradication of the source of it.
the Courler-Journals charge is cor
rect then Democracy In Kentucky
a thing Infamous. and those men VIII
have voted knowingly for the pei
petuation OF this thing are tainted
and the newspapers that have SUE
tanned relations to 1t are unfaithfu
to their constituency.
If these things are so, then We sa
that Kentucky has been redeemed
and that Republicans must enthron
justice in the courts, and drive col
ruption from the body polite.

We had thought most newspapers
have local feuds that are entertain
ing to their readers, but Columbus,
O., seems to carry off the palm for
what is known as personal journal
ism" IL seems that one. Mr.. Phil
brick, now manager Of the Ohio Sun
declared in the heat of the campaign
that the Press-POst (Democratic) is
owned by the same interests that
control the Ohio State Journal and
Evening Dispatch (Republican)
The press-Post denies the allegation
and comes back in this wise:
"This is as well known to c. c.
Philbrick, present manager of the
Ohio Sun. as it is to Mr.. Harrison or
to any person connected with the
Press-Post in any capacity. Mr..
Philbrick knows this because he was
formerly the manager, or misman-
ager Of the Press-Post at the time
this newspaper property was &C
quired by Mr.. Harrison.
"As long as he remained in the
employ of Mr.. Harrison II was well
known to MIR. Philbrick who owned
the Press-Post.
"Mr. Phllbrick also knows that it
was Mr.. Harrison who fired him at
1880 a. m, Jan. 10, 1906. for rea
sons well known TO Mr. Philbrick;
and for Mr.. Philbrick's benefit, and
all others whom it may concern, il
is stated here and now that the same
w. p. HARRISON who fired Mr.. Phil
brick is the same Mr.. Harrison who
has owned continuously ever since
and still owns the Press-POst."

BUSINESS INCREASING.

Business at the new union passenger
station adjoining this city has been stead
ily increasing since the two-cent rate
went into effect. About five hundred
persons take evening trains at the new
depot. The reason is apparent and was
given in g succinct manner by man in
Washington a day or two ago. "Ihat
new station in Washington is beauty
all right" said he, "Out my advice TO
all persons coming from Richmond to
Washington is to get off the train at Alex
andria and take street car to the caPi-
tai. By getting of at Alexandria you
sase a ljule money. The fare from
Richmond is $2.I5. If you buy ticket
TO Washington it is So so, or 81. 80 for q
ride of eight miles on the steam cars.
The fare Cd the electric cars is 10 cents.
The difference in time is worth the dill
ference in money. Besides, you get a
car at the terminus of the Alexandra
line. aud 20 to any old place for nickel,
thereby saving As cents of the cab fare
There are some ways to get even with
the railroads if the public will exercise
a little ingenuity"
