At Frankfort State Inspector ard
Examiner Mckenzie R. Todd. has FL
ed his report with Governor Wilson
on an inspection made of the Eastern,
Central and Western Kentucky asy-
iums. The work of inspecting these
institution commenced in July and
was completed in October. Len S.
M!errimee. of Louisville. assisted the
inspector. The report was filed with
the Governor comprises about ninety
typewriter pages and is said to be
one or the most thorough investigs-
lions ever made of these institutions.
The inspector praises the work of
the bipartisan Board of Control in the
management of the institutions. and
states that the excellent work done by
TINS board is noticeable and the bene-
hcial results from the operation of the
law cannot be estimated. The report
says that there has been great i'm
provement in all of the Institutions
the members of the board have given
practically their entire time to the
work and have worked together har-
moniously with an eye single to the
retirement of the conditions of these
institutions.

Within Half a Vote of Being
President.

The recent death of!Mrs. Lena Duke
Smith, Scott county swoman, widow
of General Green Clay Smith, brings
to mind the fact that her husband at
one time came within one-half voote
of ultimately being President of the
United States. When Lincoln was nomi-
mated for his second term the conven-
ton thought it would be .good move
to nominate Union man from a bor-
der State for second place on the
ticket. Rev. Green Clay Smith was
voted for and on lone ballot the vote
was a tie. On the next ballUt one of
his supporters changed his vote and
ultimately Andrew johnson of Ten
nessee, was nominated. Lincoln was
killed and johnson became President.
This shows how close man may come
to greatness and yet miss it.

Republicans After Plum.

The Third railroad commissioners
district of Kentucky is largely Repub-
lican, and number of prominent Re
publicans are being mentioned for the
position as probable candidates. The
district is composed of the counties
which make up the Tenth Congress
sional district, the greater number of
the counties of the Eleventh, several
counties inIthe Sixth district, Bourbon
county in the Seventh. and the counties
of the Ninth, with Madison of the
Eighth District.
The Republicans Of the Ninth dis
trict are now claiming that it is their
time to have this plum, and are per-
sistently demanding that they be
given this nomination for this Office,
which means election this time. Joseph
B. Bennett, the standpat Republican
from Greenup. who was retired from
active service in the national Congress
at the last regular election by w. j.
Fields, is to be one of the candidates
from the Ninth, but it is believed that
Benuett's recent defeat will initiate
against him.
Another Republican who is being
mentioned for the place is Homer b.
Bryson of Carlisle. Mr.. Bryson was a
mempersof the Republican campaign
committee which had charge of the
recent campaign in Kentucky, and is
a strong factor in Republican affairs in
the Ninth district. He was a candi-
date for the nomination for Railroad
Commissioner at the last convention,
but withdrew in the interest of har-
mony.
The Democrats are looking for a
as they do not expect the
election 90 to a Republican by. de-
fault. and they do expect to fight the
Republicans all aionR the line next
year, when State ticket will be IN
the field.

every example has been set, and
every temptation has been opened
TO them for many years to enter in
to the worst conditions possible
under our government. 1t was for
years a stencil unto the nostrils of
deacency to see the results Of the
sale of liquor to the negroes of Del
aware, in the lower counties especi-
ally, and it was this as much as
anything else which brought about
the adjustment of the open saloon.
The habits of years are hard to
overcome, and while the condition
of affairs is greatly better, yet the
damage of half century of demor-
alization is not eliminated by long
shot it will take years of time and
a passing away of the old habits
with the bodies Of many persons,
until the conditions shall have been
thoroughly eradicated. We deplore
the lawless acts of both the negro
and the white race, and urge the en-
forcement of laws made to protect
the people, but we cannot believe
that the lawless acts of the brutal
and rowdy elements of their race
should be charged up against the
whole body of either. Each man
should make himself so valuable to
the community in which he lives,
that that community will feel its
need Of him but no man can do
this who is net a lover of peace,
honesty, and moral integrity.

THE GRANGE.

The attendance at the Grange was so
small last Saturday on account Of the
heat, that the topic was not discussed,
but deferred until the first Saturday in
August. Amy special points Of law that
the members would like information on,
if they would present them to Mr.. Aus
tin, he will look them up and be pre-
pared to answer at that time.
A current event Of very great interest
was read by one OF the members, in which
it was said by one OF the speakers at a
convention of capitalists and bankers, that
the greatest problem before the people Of
this country at this time, was "how to
make the land produce 3 greater food
supply" That it would not be many
years ere we would have to call on other
countries to help us feed our Own-unless
something was done at once to avert
such disaster.
That it would be better to spend the
millions in developing land, rather than
to have builded the two WRrships and
equipped them, as the time had come
when we needed to protect ourselves
from within, rather than from without
If this be the case, how very essential it |
is for the powers that be, to take imme.
diate action in establishing departments
Of scientific agriculture in all schools, so
that the boys may gain the knowledge
necessary to help them to help the coun
try ward off such a calamity.
This question came up for reply
When Should the Hired Help be
Paid|' One member said he should be
1aid according to his contract; another
aid if he were hired by the day, be
hould be paid when the days work was
lone; if by the week, at the end of that
ime; or at the end OF the month, if en-
'loyed in that way; as those who worked
q that manner, generally had need Of
t as it was earned.
Some member placed the following
uestion in the query box "What piece {
+ machinery brought the greatest re-
arms for the amount of money expen.
ed %' The harvester was placed at the
cad OF the list for large farming. The

WITHOUT intent the Chronicl,
Office has developed a continuous
performance in providing wedding
ceremonies. A few years ago sew
eral young ladies were taken into
the composing room of this paper
and their services have been very
satisfactory intact their steady ef
fort at accomplishing success in
their vocation has attracted atten-
tion from the sensible young men
who are looking out for helpmates,
and women capable Of making
happy homes for good men. The
first to fall out of the pay roll was
Miss Iva Rogers, who became the
bride of clerk in the Pennsylvania
Railroad freight Office in Milford,
and who is now a young matron of
North Milford. The second to enter
the holy estate ofwedlock was Miss
Virginia Dickerson, who went to
the Isthmus Of Panama, and was
married to J. Frank Fowler, for
ner Milford boy, and who is now
at the head of a department build
ing the great canal. The next to
go was Miss Laura Murphy, who is
now Mrs. Augustus Dickerson, of
South Milford. Commencing with
this week another force of ladies
will gradually be installed in the
composing room, and we serve
notice now, that a declaration of
purposes must be made by the
young men who may make the
next raid on the Chronicle for |
wives, or we shall enter suits for
damages, and using undue influence
TO injure the business of the pro-
prietor. We are not sure but what
it would be well to give the old
maids a chance by teaching them
the trade of type setting, but the
young healthy girls are a pleasure
to look upon, as we'll as to have on
the pay roll, and there is a chance
for a quick, intelligent girl to not
only learn a trade, but almost a
certainty of getting an Industrious
husband by holding down a Job in !
the Chronicle Office. Come girls, s
we will do our part, and the future s
IS up to you.

IT IS not a matter Of surprise that
the negro race, or rather, that part
OF it which has grown up under the
influence of political sycophants,
should have caused disorder and
street brawls, in which the police
were compelled to take active parts
IN the cities, when the result of the
prize fight between Jefries and
Johnson was announced. The
negroes are imitators of the white
race, and naturally the vices and
faults Of that race are the most easy
to assume, hence the result has been
disturbances Of the peace. The
negroes under the influence of
liquor, swelled with excitement and
pride at the triumph of the negro
fighter over the white man, gave
evidence Of their feelings by loud
and infamatory talk, which the
whites promptly resented and pitch
ed battles were the result in MANY
OF the greater cities, and even in the |
smaller towns where the conditions
were right for drunken and loud
mOuthed men and women to hold |
forth. Let US not be unfair though.
but think for a moment as to what
per cent these represent the colored
race. It is only in the towns and
cities, where the decentralization of
hhe negro is most rapid by the
causes which have done most to
drag both the black and the white
race down, that these evidences ofI
trouble have cropped out. There
IS large, and by far greater part
Of the negro race, which look with J
disgust upon the brutal display of I
strength in the prize ring which
took place at Reno, Nevada. This '
part OF the negro race will suffer
for the faults Of a few of their y
brethren who have drawn down on v
them the white mans displeasure d
by their disorderly acts, and bla-
ant display Of the elements so pre- c
TALENT among the lower classes of 5
he white people. The young men r
# the colored race who grew up in G.
he cities and towns are not the best c,
riterions by which to Judge that sg'
ace as a whole. They frequently O
ave little to recommend them in 10
ither manners, integrity or habits; N
at is it any wonder that the negro "a
the city or town is no worse that a,
e find him as a class today, when
