A few HINTS TO VOTERS.

Inc Commoner.
Before casting your vote with the
Republican party remember some OF
these things:
First-The failure Of the Republi.
can party to take steps to provide
for electing senators by popular
vote, and the refusal Of the Republi-
can convention to endorse she re
form.
Second-The failure OF the Republi
can congress TO psss bill providing
for publicity Of campaign consribu.
lions and the refusal Of the Republi.
can convention even TO endorse the
reform.
Third-The failure Of the Republi-
can congress TO pass postal saw.
ings bank bill and the hypocrisy Of
the party In endorsing this reform,
which Il had just ignored in congress.
Fourth-The passage by the Re
publican congress of q currency bill
which enables speculative banks to
convert all sorts OF securities into
currency and actually reduces the
margin Of safety for depositors in.
stead OF Increasing II.
Fiith-The destruction OF represen'
tative government In the lower
house where the Republican speaker
and bis committee on rules have all
power and not even majority can
get vote on q popular bill II the
speaker refuses consent.
Sixth-The iorty,nine per cent In
crease In the cost of living under the
Republican Dingley tariff and its
trusts, while wages have increased
only nineteen per cent.
-Seventh-The refusal OF the Repub.
/
licsn congress to amend this tariff
although its iniquitles are admitted
and future revision has been reluc'
family promised by Its friends after
the storm is over.
Eighth-The notorious fact admit,
ted by Senator Aldrich, Republican
leader In the senate, that American
tariff protected concerns sell theil
products abroad In composition with
European factories at lower prices
than they exact from American con
sumers and the refusal OF the Repub
licsn house of representatives t.
adopt an amendment to have oul
government agents report on these
prices.
Nintk-The Republican leaders pre-
tend they favor q tariff sufficient
only to compensate factories for thu
difference between labor cost II
America and abroad, but the fact IL
that the Republican tariff is NOR
than sufficient to pay the whole la
Dor cost. On steel products the Ia
Dor cost fifteen per cent and the tarif

Concerning Negro Equality.

The St. Louis Star. Chronicle, q
strong Republican sheet, owned by
Nathan Frank. an ex Republican
Congressman, had the following edi-
torisl a few days ago:
"rhe race question seems to 'rile'
the North just ss much, II not more,
than it does the South. as witness
the riots at Spring field, Ill, the home
Of the great smapcipstor After
while she American public will realize
that what the black man is aiter IL
SOCIAL (sexuD ,qualisy-snd that all
the coddling and petting he gets in
tine North merely confirms him In bis
delus,on that u large proportion Of
the whites want h'm,to have is. But
these riots In northerp cities surpass
10 brutality and bloodlust anything
ever heard OF In the South. The
moral Ia that the white race will not
mix with the inferior races. The
northern cities are disposed TO NOR.
alize and theorize gre 1t deal over
the black brother, but when their
black brother attempts to exercise
the rights Of fraternity, they hunt
him and shoot him, hang him or
burn him with speed and determine
ton, never equaled south OF Mason
and Dixon's line."
When brought down to It's last an
ally els the difference between the
North and the South ia this. The
North believes theoretically in social
equality Of the races, II the races hap
pen to be In the South; but when |,
comes home to them they don't prsc.
sice what they preach. They don't
pretend to believe In equality before
the law when 1t comes to industrial
questions, but deliberately shut the
negro out OF their labor unions, and
then boycott any employer who dares
to hire non.union labor. In the
South the negro Is given to under
stand that he is Inferior to the white
race socially; but. all Industrial per
suits are open to him and he Is given
a square deal. He is paid as much
for days labor as his white com
petitor and given an honest day.
pay for an honest days labor. Al
the stores the negroes dollar buys al
much as the white mans dollar. Ir
the field and shops negroes and white
men work side by side and the negro
draws as much pay as the white mai
for the same kind of work. But b.
has a separate waiting room at tht
depots, separate coach Oh thu
trains, and separate schools ant
churches. In short he is recognized
as a negro and treated as such. Thi'
is the only solution of the so-cslle(
race problem. As the North becomes
more enlightened, It will realize tina
Il has made q woeiul mistake, an(
that its fanatics have done the Negro
irreparable injury, by building up II
his heart a hope for social equalit,
which can never be realized. WheI
the negro has separate schools ant
churches, and separate railroad
coaches and waiting rooms, separat
dining rooms In the hotels and cafes
In the North as we'll as In the South
then and not till then will the fina
solution OF the race problem begin t,
dawn.

DON'S STIFLE

London, Sept. ITO suppress
the emotions is just as dangerous as

enness, or to be q slave to the drug

This startling statement, made by
a Harley street specialist, knocks on

false one.

constant worry, anxiety, and wear
and tear OF modern life, may be good
form but il Is exceedingly danger

Suppressed anger produces blood

END OF LIFE
COMES TO MRS. J.B. LINDSEY
AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
NOT MADE.

Again and again, during this fall
and winter, has Frankfort been called
to mourn the death of some of her
purest and best.
On Friday morning the death angel
knocked at the door of one of the
cheeriest, gentlest and most loving
women of the city. Mrs. Helen Talbot
Lindsey, after long years of suffering
from asthma, entered into the rest
prepared for Gods children, aged &C
years. She was the daughter of the
late Mr.. VIM. Talbot and wife.
In early childhood Mrs. Lindsey was
orphaned, but was tenderly reared by
the late Gen. Peter Dudley and wife,
as their daughter.
She was remarkably handsome
girl. and was so unaffectedly joyous
and happy, that she won the hearts of
all who were thrown in contact with
her, and reigned as belle among the
many handsome young ladies of the
city.
In early girlhood, Mr. Jno. B. Lind
sey wooed and won her heart and
hand, united in the truest bonds of af-
have travelled life's pathway hand in
hand united the truest bond of af-
lection.
To them were born large family Of
children, Of whom there are living
five daughters, Misses Maria, Isabel,
Cordeha, Lillian and Benevieve, and
three sons, VIM. T., Dudley and Jno.
B. Lindsey, Jr.. who composed fam
lily of which any parents could well be
proud.
Mrs. Lindsey was a devout Christ
Ian, member Of Ascension Church,
and was ever ready to lend assistance
TO the work of the church so long as
her health would pepmit.
During all the years Of her suffering
she was as CHEEKY and happy as a
girl, and the devoted love OF her hus-
band and children was never lacking
To- soothe and care for her. They
we're peculiarly happy family.
The funeral arrangements had not
been made when we went to press,
,wlne TO the fact that several OF
Ter children are away from the city.
,ut il is likely that the funeral and
,urial will take place tomorrow (Sun-
Iay) afternoon from Ascension
yhurch.
The profoundest sympathy OF our
Whole community goes out to the sore
y bereft Family. tsi

FALLS CITY
SOLD TO CAPT. MORRISS EY
KENTUCKY RIVER PACKET CON-
PANY WILL WITHDRAW
FROM BUSINESS.

After nine years of service on the
Kentucky and Ohio rivers, the steam
er Falls City was sold Wednesday to
Capt. T. M. Morrissey, of Vicksburg,
to take the place of the steamer Rosa
line, which went down in a storm last
Saturday at Alpina, Miss. The Falls
I.ty was owned by the Louisville and
Kentucky River Packet Company, at
Louisville, of which COL Samuel H.
Stone is president. The company was
formed about two years ago and was
composed of seven directors. none of
whom were experienced rivermen.
During the summer months, when
the excursion trade is on, the boat
pays well, but during the winter
months the continuance of the boat
hardly justified its running. Col.
Stone said Thursday that the COM
pany would dissolve. Capt. Norris
say was in Louisville looking for a
boat and the sale was effected. The
terms are withheld, but the price is
aid to be between $4,000 and $4,000.
The boat was built nine years ago
at Cincinnati and on year later was
badly damaged by fire, which broke
out in the cabin while the boat was
anchored al the foot of Seventh St.,
in Louisville. The original cost of
the boat was $4,000. After the fire
it was rebuilt in the Howard ship
yards at Jeffersonville and later put
into the Kentucky river trade between
Louisville and Valley View, KY.
Capt. N. M. Pryor will accompany
the boat tomorrow morning to Vicks-
burg. The Falls City came in from
Its last trip yesterday. According to
Col. Stone there will be no more
packet boats run up the Kentucky
river by his comDanv.

KENTUCKY DAIRYMEN IN A
WRANGLE,

The Kentucky Dairymens Associa-
ton which held their annual meeting
in the hall of the House of Represn-
tatives during the past week, split
wide open Wednesday afternoon, and
left tho place of meeting with the
avowed intention of lorming a new as
sociation as rival to the present Or
ganization. These incidents followed
a session which was stormy from be-
ginning to end. The members had
come here lined up for fight either
for or against Senate bill No. 22S, ac-
cording to their inclinations, which
calls for rigid inspection, by State
officials Of all dairy herds to make GER
tain that they are not infected with
tuberculosis.

DAIRYMEN ARE BADLY SPLIT.

Mason county is soon to be the
scene of one of the hottest political
fights ever seen in Kentucky as an
election has beea called to fill the.
vacancy caused by the death of Virgil
Mcknight, who passed away last
Monday morning at ::25 O'clock. after
only a brief illness. The special
election was called on Thursday by
w. J. GOoch, the Speaker of .he
House, who, under the stature, acts
in such cases, instead of the Governor,
when the House is in session at tha
time vacancy occurs. The election
will be held on March z. The Repub-
licans are going to make an especially
hard fight in Mason county, as the.
vote in the Senatorial race is inn
portant just now, with two sides So
equally divided. The Democrats are
confident of victory, and believe that
they will have no trouble winning.
as the county is normally about 601s
Democratic, but factional fights have
split the party there and the race
will, be close. Mr.. Mcknight was
elected by less than a hundred votes
and he was one of the mos. popular
men who ever contested for a placa
in that county.
Mr.. Meningitis death was a great
shock to the members of the Legisla--
ture who served with him, and who
seen him on Friday in his seat in the
House, in the best of good humor
and with his usual strength. On the
Saturday before his death he was
about the lobby of the hotel talking
to the members who had stayed over
during the adjournment and was.
telling stories and entertaining his
friends, AIS he knew so well how to.
do. He did not come down to his
breakfast Saturday morning and was
not seen all that day. John Feland
went to his room about o'clock and
found Mr.. Mcknight lying on the
bed partly dressed and almost uncon-
scous. DR.. G. A. Fish was called and
found that Mr.. Mcknight was suffer-
ing from cardiac asthma. Everything
that could be done was done for
him, but severe attacl. came at an
early hour Monday morning and he:
was dead before his friends, who had
been notified, could reach his room.
After lying in state in the hall Of
the House of Representatives where
he had served with distinction, the
body of Mr.. Mcknight was put on
board a private car and taken to
Louisville on Tuesday morning. "A
special committee from the Senate

Mere mention of the county

is determined. The Public Mo-
committee, which has the bill in
charge, can not report until the COM
mittee is called in the regular order
of things and it seems now that it
will be several days before the call
of the committee will be reached. In
the meantime the bill hangs fire.
The temperance forces are making a
determined effort to have it reach a
vote, believing that it would pass If
vote could be had on it. Other
legislation is being sidetracked and
the prospects now are that only few
bills will be passed during the pre-
sent session and then only those
which the rules committee chooses to
report favorably. This committee will
soon take charge as it has control
during the last ten days and there
are only few more days to the ses-
sion.
In spite of the fact that the ses-
sion is nearing it's end and that only
thre bills have been passed through
both houses, the flood of new bills
does not cease. The House did not
have a bill day this week on account
of the adjournment on Monday and
the discussion of the State College
bill on Thursday, but many of the
members have bills and are only
awaiting an opportunity to introduce
