To SENATOR MCCREARY: While
the Courier-Journal, responsive to
the personal and political disap-
pointment of Mr.. Halderman and
Mr.. Waterson, is endeavoring to
stir up democratic opposition to
Gov. Beckham as a candidate for
the senate, and is hunting for
some excuse to release democrat
ic members of the General Assem-
bly, from obeying the mandate of
a full, fair, free primary election
in which the democracy of Ken
lucky designated it's preference
for Gov. Be C k h a m a S y n tied
State Senator, you, Senator Nc
Creary, the defeated candidate,
whose one word could sile n e
such treachous party peridy and
make honest men ashame, speak
not. Mr.. McCreary, the demo-
cracy of Kentucky that honored
you with the governorship, with
a seat in Congress and elevated
you to the Senate of the United
States, stands appalled, at your 81
lence. You are an honorable man
justly honored of and by Ken
lucky. 1t behooves you to speak in
no uncertain tones. AS your per

you to denounce the base treach-

once a day about g. clock in the
morning. When her breakfast is
eaten she sings for a while and
drops off to sleep again, and re-
mains so until the next morning
She seems to be unable to resist
the drowsiness that creeps over
her, and relatives have frequent
ly tried to keep her awake but
with no success. While in this
comatose condition she is perfect
ly rigid, as if dead. 1t is imposi-
BILE to even bend her arm or
straighten her fingers, but when
she wakens she frequently re-
peats things said in the room
when to all appearances she was
entirely unconcious. Six or eight
eminent physicians have tried to
cure her, but to no avail. The
disease seems to succumb to no
treatment, and the family of the
victim are at their wits end to
know how to relieve her. Squire
Taylor, her father, says if these
lines should fall under the eye of
any physician who thinks he can
benefit her, he will be glad to
hear from him and pay literally
for permanent cure. Miss Tay-
lor is about forty years of age

KENTUCKY RANKS NINTH.

A report just completed by the
Geological Survey at Washington
shows that the State Of Kentucky
dnring the past year has risen
from tenth to ninth place among
the coal producing States, having
turned out 9, $50, SAT tons of coal
valued at SO, 800, 998. This is a
gain in value of 81, 100000. Indi-
ana remained in sixth place and
Tennessee in Twelfth. The most
important change in the table Of
States is the displacement Of
Illinois by West Virginia for
second place. Pennsylvania still
heads the list.

I'm KENTUCKY.

Miss Matte Taylor, who is makir
her home in Lexington, after readir
the election returns, sent us the follow
ing poem:
The moonlight falls the softest
Kentucky:
The summer days come oftest
In Kentucky:
Friendship is the strongest,
Loves light glows the longest;
Yet, wrong is always wrongest
In Kentucky.
Lies burdens bear the,lightest
In Kentucky:
The home fires burn the brightest
In Kentucky:
While players are the keenest,
Cares come out the meanest,
The pocket empties cleanest
In Kentucky.
The sun shines ever brightest
In Kentucky:
The breezes whisper lightest
In Kentucky:
Plain girls are the fewest.
Maiden's eyes the bluest,
Their little hearts are truest
In Kentucky.
Orators are the grandest
In Kentucky:
Officials are the blandest
In Kentucky:
Boys are all the fliest,
Danger ever highest,
Taxes are the highest
In Kentucky.
The bluegrass waves the bluest
In Kentucky:
Yet, bluebloods are the fewest CD
In Kentucky:
Moonshine is the clearest,
By no means the dearest,
And yet, it acts the queerest
In Kentucky.
The dove notes are the saddest
In Kentucky:
The streams dance on the gladdest
In Kentucky:
Hip pockets are the tbickest,
Pistol hands the slickest.
The cylinder turns quickest
In Kentucky.
The song birds are the sweetest
In Kentucky:
The thoroughbreds are feetest
In Kentucky:
Mountains tower proudest,
Thunder peals the loudest,
The landscape is the grandest-
And politics-the damnedest
In Kentucky.

SUNLIGHT CHRISTIANS.

Being lighted is never the end

The moon is bright when it hap

are, moonlight Christians, who
are bright enough when lighted
by Gods manifest favor, but if
the darkness of earth "a sorrow
or burden rises between them
and God, they are black and

disciples that their whole body"
should be "full of light" Their
oneness with the brightness of
God was to be such that they
should become lights" not
merely lighted. No earth-shad-
