were until recently under county OPP
tion eighty dry counties in Texas.
There are now seventy-two. The gain
for the brewers is said to have come
from the fact that they drove out the

tion territory This convinced the peo-
pie of the willingness of the liquor
dealers 10 operate according to law IL

BY taking on themselves the extra ex-

doubtless save them from the opposi-

The average citizen will part with his
money and remain cheerful, If he

will make life safer and improve his

But when he feels and knows that
his tax money is to be applied TO graft
and to pay salaries of needless, worth
less officers. it is not cheerful pros
pect. 1t is one more inclined to make
him sour on his country, and unfit
him for good citizenship. Taxes

Senator BlaCkburn'S Good For
tune.
1EXening pOst.l


At the close of his political course
Senator j. C. S. Blackburn is to re-
ceive from a Republican President
an executive appointment which will
connect him with a great public
work, with twice the salary he has
received in the House or in the Sem
ate.
1t is an unexpected close to a
stormy career. In politics Mr.. Black
burn has been the most implacable
of partisans. He has pursued his
personal aims with a reckless disre-
gard of consequences to his political
associates and a thorough contempt
for the rights of his opponents.
He divided the Democratic party
in 1895 by refusing to stand for the
Endorsement of Cleveland and Car
Isle, and drove it to defeat.
He kept the legislature of 1896 in
riotous session for sixty days, in Or
der to prevent an election of his own
successor.
He went to Frankfort to urge the
passage of the Goebel bill in 1898,
and in 1899 boosted thereafter if
there was any stealing it would not
be done by the Republicans.
After the election of 1899 he fore
ed a contest on the Legislature
against the best judgment of his par
ty and opposed the amendments to
the Goebel law recommended by Gov.
Beckham and supported by the So
Der judgment of the Democratic
party.
He consigned to hell the whole of
the Eleventh district and gloried in
the extravaganza of partisan de-
nunciation and fractional outrages.
Even the Democratic party tired
Of the verbal excuses. and the last
Legislature consigned him to pri-
vate life. To-day he is without po-
litical following in Kentucky. He
is chiefly responsible for the divisions
within the Democratic party and for
the years of political disturbances
from which the state is emerging
under the lead Of ADLER and more
self controlling leaders. For forty
years he has been in public life. He
has had a fatal readiness of speech
which has obstructed all effective
action. In all his career there re-
mains no work accomplished and no
speech the Democratic party would
not willingly see obliterated. The
one watchward he has given his par
ty is, IF there is any stealing done
hereafter it will not be done by the
Republicans"
Any review of the political career
of Senator Blackburn must close
with the remark that in all the for
ty years nothing was so unexpected
as such an appointment for such a
partisan leader coming from Presi.
dent whose greatest unfinished task
is the Panama canal.
The friends of the Senator will re-
joice in his good fortune; the friends
of the President are dumb with
amazement.
