The Interior Journal.
z. c. WALTON

SEEMS to Us that the Danville Advo-
cate has not the proper appreciation Of
Congressman Harvey Helm, who has
done so much for Danville and Boyle
county. 1t is trying with might and
main to give him opposition and great
will be that papers disappointment IL
it does not succeed. 1t will be remem-
bered that the $50. 900 appropriation Sc
cured by the late Hon. George G. Gil
bert for a government building at Dan
vile would have only been one-story,
squstty structure, as $4,000 of the
amount had to be expended for the site.
Mr.. Helm took up the matter and Sc
cured further appropriation Of $780,
900 and now the building will be most
slightly one and commensurate with its
surroundings. He has cared for Boyle
county people in every way possible and
now his efforts are directed to having
the cemetery at Perryville converted
INTO National Park and he has reasons
TO believe that he will succeed. Mr..
Price, the Advocates standing candi-
date. is fine young man and doubtless
would make good Congressman. but
Mr.. Helm has had experience at Wash
ington and is now in position to do his
constituency more service than he has
has ever been able to before and much
more than MIR. Price or any other new
man could. Give Mr.. Helm another
term if he wants it and in turn he will
give to the people of the Eighth dis
trict splendid official service and in
slang parlsnce, "a run for their mon
ey."

The next session of the Kentucky
General Assembly, which will convene
in the new Capitol at Frankfort the
first week in January, will be mainly
conspicuous by the small number of
Republicans who will assist in making
up the body. Complete returns from
every one of the 1873 senatorial and
legislative districts show that the DEM
ocrats will have 60 majority on joint
ballot. Thus it will be seen that what
ever legislation is done will be charged
to the democratic party. This should
make the Representatives and Senators
move very carefully and consider well
before they act.

The INTERIOR JOURNAL joins the
press and public in all the good things
they are saying about Judge M. C.
Ssufiey for governor. Like a great
many other people we think he is the
logical candidate, and if he can be in
duced to run we have no fear of the re-
suit either in the race for the nominal
ton or in the final election. A polished
speaker, a splendid lawyer. good citi-
zen and sterling democrat, he would
make model governor and here's hop
ing that the people of this grand old
Commonwealth will sope day, not far
distant, have him as their chief execu-
tive.

of one who had been so living i'm his
mind. Little by little he found memories
of the young schoclmistress, but they
were as faded as the sassafras flowers he

did not understand these signs: he only
saw that she was as lovely as an apple

But now Reuben felt that his mind had

There was the same absence of outward
feeling when Dave broke the news to his
wife as there had been IN his own case:
care and sorrow had made them both old
before their time, and self-centered.
Nothing surprises me now" she said,
querulously: I've been afflicted so sorely
that guess I'm about prepared for any
thing that may come, except joy; and this
is JOY, but it don't seem to have much
power to stir me. Still. you are welcome.

from the dead.
Reuben the younger was the only one
who saved the situation, with his uncle 8
help; for, after the first embarrassment
had passed, their natural spirits rose with
a natural reaction. 1t was Reub who
drew out from his uncle the tale Of his
wanderings as they sat round the hastily
supplemented supper table, and as the re-
turned traveller found that he was listened
to with profound interest, he warmed 10
his task. giving a rapid and vivid sketch
of his life during the past twenty years.
All his struggles, from the day when old
Mr.. Carver had lent him the $40. and IN
troduced him to the boss of a shoe factory
at Brockton. who happened to be going
by the same train. and who engaged the
quick witted boy before half their journey
was accomplished. to the browning
triumph of his life when he had made
money enough to give him the right to

audience.

vehemence. You are not going to have

that sort of thing. You are going to start

There was a pause round the table:

had heard his father say that he had
dropped a lot of money doing the same
thing; but father. instead of explaining
this gently to his brother. just grabbed
hold of the bills and said they shouldn't
be used for nonsense. He was mad, too.
that he, who worked so hard himself, had
never been able to put by 10 cents; all he
made had TO go into housekeeping AMI
clothes for his brother and their step
mother and manure and fodder; and his
brother, who had no calls on him. had
made this extra: SO father was touchy
about II, and ne look the money dWdS

IT should think he'd a-been glad to get
rid of him." said Reuben, srimly, begin

"Oh, no. he wasn't; and mother. she
felt awful: she loved my uncle just like

Well. mother lost her health soon after
they were married: Reub and | are the
only ones out OF six they've raised-if you
can call me rsised.' she added in a low
voice of bitterness.
Again that detested sense of pity crepi
into Reuben's mind, he banished 1t with
