Hargis Of Breathitt.

| Truth. again. is stranger. and more
startling. than fiction. Had a novelist
or dramatist brought such a character to
such an end as Judge Hargis met yester-
day he would have been accused of eXag-
geration. 1t would have been insisted
| that the greater the hatred of the out
side world. the nearer the character
own flesh and blood would have drawn
to him. The Great Dramatist ordered it
differently at Jackson. The man OF blood
was punished by his own son.
That Judge Hargis would die by vio-
lence probably nobody doubted. 1t was
the most reasonable Of expectations. The
only points open for discussion were
when and how. He himself knew there
must be bullet nodded for him. He
had the feudist's philosophy, and had
made his arrangements to go. BY order
ing his coffin he onceded that the day
was probably close at hand
There was BARBARA touch. too. in
the price. An everyday coffin was not to
his liking. He was not an everyday man.
and, as he felt, SHOULD be put away in
something rich and unusual. Bother the
cost! Was he not rich? Could he not
afford it, When the day came, should
not the people OF jackson nave re-
minder in every feature of the cere-
mony that their leader was no more ?
What other man in the community was
worthy of a coffin so expensive? That
feature alone would help preserve his
memory.
The parricide is not beyond explanation.
He is only twenty-one. and has been
reared on blood. All his life he has heard
the family name associated with feuds and
assassinations. He must have been. even
at school, dreaded a little himself. An
assassin's son cannot be popular play
fellow. AS a Hargis there was stain
upon him, even in community where his
father was the boss. Growing up thus.
with heredity playing its part it was only
necessary for him to reach the age of red
liquor-which is very red in its effects in
the mountain country-to manifest all the
worst qualities of his tribe and surround
ings. The fiend was in him, and it mas
tered him in this awful moment.
The death of the boss is not likely to
stop the flow of blood in Breathitt county.
The curse of Hargis will linger after the
man himself is dust Ee trained men in
the hideous business of ambushing their
fellows, and many of his pupils survive
and are at large.

Thirty-Five Cents Apiece.

The Associated Charities, the Citizens
Relief Association and the Committee on
the Prevention Of Consumption are at
this time in urgent need of something Ike
SIT 600 to carry on their work among the
poor of the District. These three enter
Drises are closely allied. The relief COM
mittee is the fiscal agent through which
the funds are collected. The Associated
Charities cares for the cases of known
restitution in emergencies and at the
same time works for the permanent cure
of poverty evils. The tuberculosis COM
mittee is endeavoring, through lectures
and individual work in the homes, to
lessen the danger Of a spread of con-
sumption. All citizens of the District are
vitality interested in these works. They
make for a better, cleaner. healthier COM
munity. They represent the duty of the
well-to-do toward the unfortunate. They
stand for the saving of life and the les
SEEMING of suffering.
1t is not to be believed that these worthy
works will be crippled for the lack OF
$1,000. or that for the lack of any part
Of that sum any branch of the charity
enterprise of Washington will be COM
PEELED TO olose. 1t is not to be credited
that the citizens of the District will not
come to the rescue and by imposing a
special tax upon themselves take care
that these necessary efforts are continued
in full force and to the maximum of good
results.
The arithmetic of the matter is strongly
indicative of the Districts entire ability
TO care for its charitable works of this
kind. There are in the community some
100000 people-the Senate District COM
mittee estimates the population at 800 900.
which is perhaps somewhat high. OF these
1t least 100000 are in the class of the fairly
well-to-do. In that case there are doubt
less fully 10000 wage-earners whose in
comes are sufficient to meet their needs
Leave out 10000 for possible miscalcula-
ton, and there remains a round $1,000
men. or women, in Washington with
steady incomes. and with presumably a
slight margin above their wants. These
$4,000. by giving each the sum OF 30
cents. could make up the full fund of
$4,000. urgently required by the local
charities. By giving a dollar apiece they
could put the charities in working order
not only for this year. but for next and
the next beyond.

Antagonizing Party.
The Hartford Times offers this

1T is a ridiculous misstatement to say
that no man has ever antagoniZed a ma
tional administration of his own party
without suffering disaster The rule is
the other way
Particulars, please. Let us have thu
names Of those who profited by opposing
their party when it was in power.
The Times seems to have forgotten the
case of John c. Calhoun. He was a mar
of great influence and much promise unit
he antagonized Andrew Jackson. He ha6
hopes even of reaching the presidency
But after his bout with Old Hickory he
figured only as the leader of the losing
cause of slavery.
Lyman Trumbull and William Pitt Fes-
sender were men of the first rank of their
day. but lost heavily by refusing to sup
port their party in the contest against
Andrew johnson. Mr.. Fessenden died sc
soon afterward, it is a problem as to
whether he could have recovered his
ground. Mr.. Trumbull never recovered
his. and died years afterward a democrat.
Charles Summer lost in his fight against
the Grant administration. He remained
in ONCE. but exerted no influence on af-
fairs after breaking with his old asso-
ciates, and died in gloom and dsappoint-
ment.
Roscoe Conkling was driven from public
life by the Garfield administration. He
was at the time the leader of his party
in the Senate, and the most brilliant ora
tor in the country. But he could not
stand as against the displeasure of the
national administration.
Samuel ]. Randall, because of his tariff
views WAS wholly without Influence or
recognition during the first Cleveland
administration. Even his lieutenants in
Pennsylvania suffered because of their
devotion to him. Had it been possible
he would have been driven from his seat
in the House. He died before Mr.. Cleve-
lands return to office. Had he lived,
he. and not Mr.. German. would have led
in the tariff fight. which so enraged Mr..
Cleveland in the spring and summer of
1898
These are only few of the cases the
Times has overlooked. And they testify
both to the power of a national admin
istration. and to the courage of men who.
with this history before them, stand up
for what they believe to be the right
course. Mr.. Foraker's case today is in
point. He may lose his fight and his Of
flee, but not the admiration that even
opponents feel for the spirit which does
not quail before impending disaster"

A Foolish Rule Cancelled.

Mayor Mcclellan has vetoed the ILL.,
advised enactment of the New York alder
men forbidding women from smoking in
public places. under penalty Of the pun.
ishment of the complaisant proprietor OF
the establishment. The author of the
freak legislation has passed the word to
accept the veto and let the case stand
thus as a form of protest against the
practice This is by far the most de-
sirable outcome of the matter. The rro-
posed law would have been inequitable
IL enforced. and absurd If unenforced
In all probability 1t would never have
been enforced. and it would have stood
as another Of big towns dead lette RS

A Feudist's End.
From the Baltimore American.

Breathitt county achieved national Ill
repute through the feud that made the
name of Judge Hargis one of the most
widely known in criminal annals. That
the man who has been associated in the
public mind-and. indeed. in many court
proceedings-with the death Of num-
Der Of persons of the faction witty which
he had a feud should himself meet q
violent death was quite in the order OF
expectation. No one is surprised at this
who has read the almost incredible tale
of family warfare that conferred about
him. His killing by his own son gives
point to the proverb. Like father, like
son. The bequest Of the father to his
progeny was that of blood lust. of reck-
lessness as to the lives of his fellow
men. The legacy has been worked out
in the last act of long drama.
