SENATOR TILLMAN.

The Tillman case makes at the best,
a pretty mess. The Senator's
strength with the country and the
confidence that has been expressed
in him has been due, in chief meas
ure to the popular belief that he was
too courageous for evasion and too
honest to bubble. He has lost
ground by his admission in his speech
of defense that he was not wholly
frank and sincere in his statements
and admissions concerning his ne
gotiations for the purchase Of the
land forming the basis of the con-
troversy.
Taken all in all, the situation in
one in which there is small cause
for satisfaction. Senator Tillman
has proved out Of his own lips that he
lacks that high sense of personal
honor and regard for the great office
he holds which actuated one of the
fathers of the republic, John Quin-
cy Adams, when, after his retirement
from the presidency, he entered the
National House of Representatives
as member from Massachusetts, he
sold national bank stock that he held
because he thought that perhaps the
bank question might become a sub
ject of legislation.
We agree with the Louisville Times,
when it says:
'Mr. Tillman, who has appealed to
public sentiment by his msistent def
ance of public opinion, is proved to
have a weak spot in his armor. His
excuse for his course is in itself the
strongest accusation that can be
brought against it. There was moth
ing dishonest in the course itself, al
thought it is open to criticism for its
lack Of delicacy. There is cause for
regret that the Senator should have
waited for the Presidents letter to
Senator Hale before making every
detail of it proof against misinter-
probation and Misrepresentation"

THURSDAY JANUARY IA, 1909.
UNION DEPOT AT LEXINGTON

If it weTs not that the travelling
public have rights, we would leave
this article for the Lexington papers,
or if the Union Depot in Lexington
was for the exclusive use and bene-
fit of her citizens we would have
nothing to say, but would leave the
regulation of her internal affairs
alone. But the travelling public have
rights at the Union Depot of Lex
ington, the same as her citizens and
they have the right to demand that
they be furnished with the best SER
vice and accommodation in reaching
the train or depot, and that being
true we feel that we have the right
to criticize the system now in use at
the Union Depot in Lexington.
This system as now used and OPP
Grated is closely and exclusively a
product of the three railroads using
the depot, viz: Chesapeake & Ohio,
Louisville & Nashville and Lexington
and Eastern, and these companies
are the ones who should be censured
and criticized for the manner in
which the depot is conducted. Yet,
If it is conducted badly such conduct
reflects more upon Lexington than
upon the railroads.
AT the gate is now operated one
gateman stands guard as the train
comes in. Those who are at the de-
pot with a view of boarding the train
or meeting friends are all crowded
and huddled in front of the gate un-
der the shed. As the train comes to
a stand still in the station. those on
beard alght and Immediately rush
towards the gate. When it is thrown
open, those who are expecting to
board the train, thinking it is a sig
nal for them to pass through, immed-
lately make a rush for the hole in the
fence. just as they attempt to rush
through the passengers leaving the
train are making a rush for the same
hole. The result is that a collision
occurs and in the confusion the gate
man shoves back those who wish to
get on the train and pulls through
those who wish to get off. The scrim-
age In football game is not near
so. exciting nor so dangerous for the
reason that there are not so many
engaged. On the entrance side of
the fence there are usually number
of persons waiting to meet their
friends who are coming from the
exit side.
While one mass of humanity is
struggling to get to the train and an
other from the train, both through
the same hole in the fence, the gate
man is heard shouting above the
confusion, "stand back. Let the pas
sengers by. Show your tickets"

is not to compare with running the

Paid Little Attention.

1 don't believe there Is a member
of the present court that has ever
given this place a single thought OF
been to visit it since he has been a
member Of the court; for they are
not in my opinion a set of men who
would, knowing the condition it is in
and the ugly appearance It has, lei
1t remain where it now is. Judge Ev-
ans himself, will venture to say, has
not paid this place visit in the last
fourteen months; for if he had,
don't believe he would have the nerve
to come out and ask the people tc
re-elect him County Judge for an
other term without making some eff
fort TO have it removed.

ways voted for him and l am going
to vote for him again this summer.

Fiscal Court and every one else, he
will neglect his duties some times

ly. And In this case / must saw that
it is the former for this is not the
first time the jail question has arisei.

fore it is gone. / believe though that
by calling the Fiscal Courts attention
to this matter from now until they
meet again they will for once 90 and
visit this place and see it as others
do. And if they do, | am confident
they will have it removed.
/ don't want this to be construed
by Judge Evans or any member of the
Fiscal Court as some one debating
to them what to do for it is not in
tended as such. 1t is an old saving
and very true one, that others can
see our faults better than we can and
| hope they will look at it in that
light. / would have said to Judge
Evans face what / have said in this
letter but | understand from those
who have mentioned the matter to
him. that he is very sensitive about
the jail, and easily offended about it,
