Austria is Let In.

By his proclamation admitting i'm
ports from Austria TO come in under
the minimum scale of THE Payne tar
iff. the president has reduced the list
of possible trouble maerks among the
important countries to two. Great
difficulty was encountered in making
the adjustment with Austria, on ac-
count of the exactions of the admin
istrative features of her tariff, and
also because of certain restrictions by
her which shut out some of our pro-
ducts. Her trade with us is rather
large and is growing. Under the
new stipulations our EXPORTS will
get better treatment at her custom
houses.
France ard Canada are the only
countries of any consequence with
which We have not been able thus far
to make peace. With each there Is a
probability that satisfactory terms
can be made before midnight on
March 81, when our maximum scale
of 20 per cent in addition to our reg
ular duties will go into operation
against imports from the countries
which persist in undue discrimina-
ton against us at their ports of entry.
There are symptoms of a desire by
Canada 10 make her peace with us.
Frances Parliment will adjourn on
March "A, and if terms are not made
by her by that day the bars here will
go up against her a week later.
A tariff war with either Canada
or France would hamper us 20 some
extent, but it would injure those coun-
tries much more. Nevertheless, our
State Department is anxious 70 get an
adjustment with each of them. IL is

try will come in under our minimum

disagreeable TO US, but our author
tiles will not hesitate TO raise them
against any country which refuses 20
deal fairly with us. The double-scale
tariff idea was not invented here.
Some of our trade rivals in Europe
used 1t before anybody in the United
States Thought of adopting it. Ia its
dfense the trainers of the tariff plank

The Defeat Of Good Road Legis-
lati0n.

The defeat of good roads bills by
the House of Representative in a
State calamity. AS far as the i'm
provement and advancement of Ken
lucky is concerned they were the
most important measures before the
Legislature That the House should
have frittered away its time on un-
important matters and not even dis
cussed the good roads bills showed
an entire lack OF proper apprecla-
ton of one of the most vital inter
ests in the States development. If
the bill passed by the Senate were
not such as met With the approval
OF the House they should have been
amended to suit, or else Offered
substitutes for them. The appointment
to inquire into what is needed In the
way of good roads legislation and
to report to the next Legislature only
emphasizes the ignorance and the
indifference of the House OF Repre-
sentatives. Everybody else in Ken
lucky who has given the subject Of
roads any attention. knows what Is
needed In the main. 1t is State aid
by which, the rich counties will help
the poorer ones, just lie kthe public
school education is maintained
Another serious mistake was in the
Bosworth- Wyatt bills which We're put
through the Senate. These gentlemen
seemed to be so absorbed with the
idea of getting the credit for the pas
sage of the good roads law that

commodities, nevertheless the freight
tariffs filed must show what proper

line from the point of origin must be
a reasonable one.

HISTORIC old
GRAYSON SPRINGS
To Be Restored-Work Soon to
Begin on The New
Buildings.

Mr.. Albert Plock, of Louisville has
purchased the property and from
present indications this famous old
watering place will surpass its form
er reputation. A large force of
hands are to be brought from Louis
vile, and all the availible worlmen
from the country will be pressed
into service on a new $4,000 hotel
which is to be erected no the site of
the one recently burned. It is to be
modern structure,with all modern
conveniences. We prdeict great
future for this justly celebrated
watering place.
From way back befoah de wa'h"
days the water from these springs
are famous. Captains Chas. aad
VIM. VanMeter for years cared for
hundreds of rest seekers. At times
there were so many the buildings
could not accommodate them, and
cots were placed on the hillside for
those who could sleep in the open
ain
During the reign of the VanMeters
yellow fever broke out in The South.
Refugees flocked north and old
Grayson had her full quota, every
available space was put into use,
crude contrivances were brought
into service for their accommoda-
ton until there could not be another
one cared for.
After the death of Capt. VIM. Van
Meter, Capt. Charlie" soon grew
tired of the management of the
place, and then began the cries of
selling, leasing, renting and each
time the property, through misman-
agement or OF her causes, would re-
vert back TO Mr.. VanMeter. The
Howes, the TeTys, the. Coppages
and others tried it, but the wave of
popularity seemed to be waning
farther and farther away. The
Mercke Bros. finally succeeded in
building up patronage to some ex-
tent-and then the fire.
Louisville, Cincinnati, Paducah,
Greensboro, Elizabethtown and the
South in general have each contrib
uted in making up the history of
this summer resort. Many a TO-
nance has begun nj the Sylvan shade
of its rustic scenery, bloomed and
