JUDGE O'REAR .ENDORSES GOV.
WILSON.

One of the..very.frst planks in
the Experimentation is an
unequivocal endorsement of Gov.
Wilson's administration. The
Republican party. is responsible
for every official. actssof Gov. Will
son, and JudgeiO'Rea has shown
himself a true party man in ac-
cepting that.sburden, and I'M
dertaking to2sscarry it as if it
were only aisfeather's weight.
When he pledged himself to car
ry out the orders of his party as
expressed in its platform, he
stood sponsorffor the work that
Gov. Wilson and his associates
have done at.Frankfort, a record
of extravagance''and ineff1ciency
that has no parallel.
Judge O'Rear must be given
credit for greatTphysical endur-
ance and moral courage, for
without both qualities he could
notIface the taxpayers of Ken
lucky with the Wilson milestone
encircling his neck and crushing
him to the earth.
1t is not possible to speak in
words of moderation concerning
the sins of omission and commits
sion that are piled mountain
high at the doors of the Repub-
lican Chief Exutive and his Of
fetal associates. Had they de-
liberately conspired to misrepre-
sent the people, they could not
have written in the public re-
cords a more appalling story of
high taxes, unjust assessments,
and illegal expenditures, tighten
ing the burdens on banks and
corporations, and laying the
heavy hand of exaction on the
farmers and the owners of hum
BILE homes all over Kentucky.
While Republican Franchise
Board was reducing assessments

ton on the other side of the hal
was raising the assessment or
farm lands every where from
to 20 per cent. The people vol
unfairly raised their own assess

Wilson's Board increased tn.

1887 for aniactive militia that
amateur soldiers might, in an
swer to his ridiculous manifesto,
roam the State and in idleness,
eat the money of the taxpayers.
1t was absolutely necessary for
this sum, in excess of one quarter
of a millions dollars. to be Sc
cured either sby an increase in
the assessment and spreferring
this cowardlyss- subterfuge Gov.
Wilson's Boardsicf Equalization
raised thesasstaxable values of
farm lands'$61, 900, 900.
Any word.l.s.of criticism from
Judge O'Rear on this subject?
Not a singlesyawp, although he
bowls daily about the reforms he
proposes to aainaugurate. His
party endorses this imposition
practiced on5the farmer by Gov.
Wilson's appointees, and Judge
O'Rear, standing.on every plank
of the Phoenix Hill platform,
gives it his endorsement.
Acknowledgement Wilson has
only completed95ssabout three and
a half years ofLhis term he has
been absent fromshis duties at
the capital 239 days, rand before
he retires from office he will
make 300 days. Three hundred
days CT feasting and joy riding
and acknowledgements speeches,
in some of which he has de-
nounced Kentucky as one of the
most lawlessssstates in the Union.
Wilson has Efddled while the
taxpayers money. burned, draw
ing his full salary''all the time he
was away. Acting..Gov. Cox has
drawn from thesstreasury the sum
of $4256.2O to date, more money
than all the other Lieutenant
Governors have drawn since
kentucky became asstate.
Any word of condemnation
from Judge O'Rear for the gross
neglect Of duty? The Republi-
can party in convention assem-
bled endorsed, without qualifca-
ton, Gov. Wilson's administra-
ton, and Judge O'Rear also
gives itshis approval. =
1t is impossible to separate
these two leaders; one is The
Republican Governor and the
other hopes to be; and both are
cut off the same cloth. One Sc
cured office by promises that
have been ruthlessly broken; the
other seeks to reach the exec
utive chair by the same devious
Path. Wilson was a reformer
when he was begging for votes;
O'Rear is a reformer striving to
fool enough of the people to Sc
cure his election.
Under Wilson we have had
disorder, indecent wrangling, a
depleted treasury, a purposeless,
wobbly, stupid administration,
run to exploit the vanity of an
incompetent. This is the record
that the voters of Kentucky are
asked to approve. Judge O'Rear
stands sponsor for Gov. Wilson
and thereby puts, his seal upon
the folly and conceit that has
sent the State to the rear, a by
word and a reproach.

DAINTY COLLARS
AND SMART CUFFS.
Even the Expensive Sets May
Be Duplicated at Home

The modern girl is so pleased with
the lace and embroidery collars in use
that she will continue to wear them
throughout the winter on heavy serge
and tweed suits. They are made of
the finest linen and cambria and are
embroidered, tucked or trimmed with
lace.
Cuffs are made to match, and the
jabot frill that adorns one side Of the
bodice is very often included in the
set.
The shops show many very lovely
odd sets. But some Of these are be-
yond the purse of the average woman
She need not be discouraged, how
ever, for the daintiest Of these sets
can easily be made at home.

SHOULD We PUT
TARIFF ON
Two Congressman Explain
Why They Demand Gov
ernmental Regulation

~HOULD American heiresses who
- marry abroad and carry with
them substantial parts Of Amer
lean fortunes made in America
be subject to a heavy export tariff?
At the recent session two members Of
congress, julius Kahn of California
and A. ]. SABBATH of Illinois, made
speeches advocating such a tax. The
latter went so far as to introduce a
resolution bearing upon this purely
financial side Of the American prob.
lem of matrimony.
1t is admitted that there are not so
many foreign marriages as formerly,
but the congressman do not believe
that this Is due to any awakening of
a patriotic desire to keep American for
tunes in the United States.
1t is not denied that the engagement
of Miss Mildred Sherman, one Of the
famous Sherman twins and an heir
ess worth possibly $25,0OO,0OO to $780,
100000, to Lord Camoys, the chum of
Lord Decies, who married WHEN
Gould, will lead to a renewal of these
restrictive efforts.
"Curb the Title B~arterers."
In a speech in the house Of repre-
sentatives Congressman Kahn said:
II think we are all in accord on this
subject of International marriages. l
wish a way could be devised for tax
ing the dowries Of American brides in
these matrimonial ventures, SO that
the titled fortune hunter might secure
but a small moiety of the price the
bride pays him for a name which he
dishonors by thus putting it up at auc-
ton to the highest bidder.

Use Of Old laces.


Beautiful real lace Of all kinds is
rapidly returning to popularity and
bids fair to be generally used during
the coming months by those who can
afford such luxuries not only on even
ing dresses, but on the bodices Of day
gowns. These bodices in many in
stances will be trimmed most elabo-
rately with lace and also with exqui-
sitely fine silk embroideries and
touches Of fur.
The latest millinery, too, shows in
many instances the very chic effect of
a large shape in black silk beaver of a
satin-like smoothness. adorned only
with a big bow Of white real lace.
For similar purposes long scarfs OF
white lace are also being used, draped
round and over the crowns of some OF
the Pierrot shapes and then tied witt
many loops very high at the back.

sented to come to this country for the
purpose Of picking them up, but as a
rule they are not obliged to take so
much trouble.
"At the rate I have mentioned the
purchase Of foreign titles for our girls
costs us more than a billion dollars ev-
cry ten years. That is an immense
amount of money. Can even so rich
a country as ours stand such a drain?
The money goes to England or the con-
tinent and is lost to us forever. None
of it ever comes back.
Newly Rich Are Ambitious.
"Most Of the very big fortunes in
this country are new fortunes. The
women whose husbands have made
the fortunes nearly always develop
social ambitions, and too commonly
their utmost desire is to marry their
daughters to men of title.
ut inevitably happens that Ameri-
can who go title hunting in Europe
r laughed at and spoken Of behind
their backs as 'bounders,' especially
by the nobility and other ~aristocratic
folk who enjoy their hospitality and
borrow their money. But this is only
one Of the many forms of humiliation
to which they are exposed. Unfortu-
nately the business brings ridicule
upon our country, and that is a pity.

"What is needed is a heavy tax on
all moneys that go from America to

rule are so rare as to excite, when they
occur. widespread attention and even
