 tons the policy of neutrality that Ken lucky proclaimed would have proved im- potent, and neutrality, also the concep- ton of Underwood, prevented the secss- sion of the state. When it had served it's purpose, the Lincoln administration cast neutrality away, violated it, nullified it; but it made Kentucky union. And vet when the emancipation proclamation was issued in 1862 there would have been a serious mutiny among the federal troops of Kentucky had they all been camped together.
 Thomas E. Bramlette was made govern- or of Kentucky over Charles A. Wickliffe in 1863 by the bayonet. He was man of tremendous force of character. com manding abilities, dauntless courage, and though entirely self-educated, he was one of the most cultured men of the state, an eminent jurist on the bench, an elo- quent orator in the forum, a stout 5ol- dier in the field, and a wise statesman il the council. A member of the Bap- tlse church, the whim of circumstances made Bramlette a whig, and perhaps his veneration for Clay made him a union man; though he loathed the re- publican party. He was gifted with a powerful imag agination, and was a poet as
 
 a statesman. He was a just man, and his heart had sympathy for all suffering and hatred for all cruelty. John M. Har- Ian was the attorney general of the Bram- lette administration
 Burbridge was a more tigerish Ava, a more infamous Jeffreys, and he was the insatiate monster and bloody butcher who was the federal commander of the Kentucky department much of the lime Bramlette was governor. Bramlettes re- quest that Burbridge be removed was un- fish language there is not to be found a stronger or more lucid statement Of civil liberty, or a more brilliant or more elo- qrent argument in that behalf, than Bramlette's letter to Lincoln about tho year 1861. The late Richard T. Jacobs was the lieutenant governor of the Bram- lette administration, and he denied that the governor contemplated the employ ment of force against Burbridge; but when 1t was asserted after the war, A. G. Hodges practically admitted it. and John M. Harlan would not discuss it. Certain it is that Bramlette recruited troops, and certain 1t is that Wooiford, whom Burbridge sought, to murder, was to have been important in the force thus raised. Had Bramlette recalled all Kentucky troops in the federal army to abate the hell the monster Burbridge made in 1864. momentous consequences would have followed. A. c. Hodges, an abolitionist as distinguished from the Ken
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-05

lucky emancipationist, prevailed on Lin coin to remove the butcher and super sede him with John M. Palmer, who was a humane man as well as a brave sol dier and a just administrator.
 Upon the surrender of the south and the beginning of reconstruction, Kentucky became intensely southern Had the same spirit prevailed in 1861 1t would have been a race between Kentucky and South Carolina for which should get out of the union the quickest. Perhaps Kentucky was the only state to reject the Bhir- teenth amendment in 1865, and John M. Harlan opposed that amendment not .har he was a pro-slavery man, but that he believed that it was a matter for Ken tuck alone whether the slaves of Ken tCky should be emancipated. He and A. G. Hodges had bitter controversy about it, Hodges being one of the very few abolitionsts in the state, though there were thousands of Emancipationists as early as 1850 and even before.
 In 1866 there was a reorganization of the democratic party in Kentucky. The old commonwealth put the little pot in the big pot and made hash in the skill let for the returned Confederates, whose fingers were made radiant with rings and whose persons were decorated with robes. The fatted calf was killed and he that had been "a rebel brigadier' was demigod who had slain dragons, hero who had crusaded for the Holy Sepulchers against the infdel Saracen. Alvin Duvall was nominated for the only state office to be supplied that year, clerk of the court of appeals, and he was nominated because federal soldiers had dispersed a convention that had nom- mated him for the court of appeals dur ing the war, when he was not allowed to be voted for.
 There was no republican party in Ken lucky as yet, but there were some el- der brothers, and Harlan was one of them. Bramlette, Underwood, Prentice, Harney, Rousseau, Harding and others
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-05

were of that illl. They nominated Ed ward H. Hobson, federal soldier, who had also fought in Mexico and was of democratic antecedents. His ticket in 1866 was dubbed ''union democrat" He was disastrously defeated by Duvall.
 In 1867 there was a general state elec- ton. The democrats nominated full ticket headed by John F. Helm for gov trnor. They nominated John Rodman for attorney general. That was mis-, take. They ought to have nominated John M. Harlan, and there was a move- ment for that end. That year the repub- icans had a full ticket headed by Sid ney Barns for governor. The elder too respectable to be republicans, nom- mated a third ticket with Judge Kin kead for governor. Perhaps John M. Harlan was the candidate of this party for attornely general. Old Frank Wool ford, federal soldier, former whig and Know Nothing and now democrat call ed it the "cow colorsd' party, and Dave Towles, of Green county, another fed- eral soldier now democrat, dubbed it the "calico" party. It carried but two counties, both small ones. Taylor and Allen, or maybe 1t was Clinton instead of Taylor.
 The thirS party served for way sta ton for Governor Bramlette on his jour- ney into the democratic party and for way station for John M. Harlan on his journey into the republican party. Har- Ian was no stronger union man during the war than John G. Carlisle, and had the democrats nominated him for at- tcrney. general in 1867 he would have accepted it and become as much of an idol of that party as Carlisle became, for he was a better stump speaker raan Carlisle or anybody else. There is noth- ing more certain than that he would have been senator and he might have been President. And he could have done

 Shades of Tom Cribb and Jem Mace, Has the prize ring in England so declined that it has no white hope to pit against the world, regardless of color? Pugilism has for centuries found its congenial home in England. It long enjoyed royal patronage and it's Chickens" and it's "Slashers" are a part of literature. The peers did not disdain to put on the gloves with professional bruisers, and the name of one lives in popular fame for the rules that still govern ring bouts
 Time was when the protests of bishops and archbishops would not have availed to prevent a fight in which the whole populace was interested. That they are effectual now is due to a reflection of a popular distrust of the white mans SUI premacy with his fists-a suggestive commentary on the lost glories of Brit ish puglism.

RUSSIA PREPARED
 FOR INTERVENTION
Refuses to Live in Stolypin Residence-Daring Rob-
 bery of Train

Sa. Petersburg, November 4.-(Special)- Russia is quietly reinforcing her position in Manchuria and will be ready to do her share in case intervention should become necessary in China. And this seems .ery proba ble just now. There is a suspicion here that Japan is playing for position which will make her the dominant power in restoring order in China and Russia does not propose to be caught mapping this time. Troops, supplies, etc, are being sent forward quietly, but continually and the Russian forces with the striking dis tance of the far east are stronger now than they have been since the war with Japan.
 The new Russian prime minister has de- elined to take up his quarters in the ofri- cial residence Occupied by the late M. stolypin. It is a dwelling with singular reputation for bringing bad luck to it's inhabitants. Thirty-two years ago Madame Stolypin's uncle, General Mesen- zof, was assassnated there by revolu- tionists. His successor, General Potazof, went mad while tenant of it. Two inin- isters of the interior who lived there, M. NJ. Sipiaguin and Plehve, were victims of Nihilist attacks, while three other min sters of the interior who preferred to live elsewhere-Count MeliSof. Count Tolstof and M Durnovo-passed through their terms of office unscathed. If M. Kokot- SOY, the new premier is in the least su- perstious, his preference for another ad- dress is ineligible.
 daring train robbery with a novel touch to it was committed last week by Russian bandits. The gang, five in num- Der, crossed the Austrian frontier. and lay in wait at the spot where they knew trains had to go slowly.
 Two of them then leaped on to the foot plate of the engine and, leveling reyolyers at the driver and stoker compelled them to stop the train and descend. The other three then entered the van, drove away the guard and his assistant and broke open strong box containing s1200.
 Some of the band must have understood engine driving, for they uncoupled the To- comotive and all rode away on 1t. The en- zine driver and his comrades made their way back to the nearest station and tele- phoned for help. Police and soldiers ar rived in another train, and that which the robbers had left was pushed in front for some miles until the engine was found abandoned on the track. -
 One of the walls of the Esthonian the- atre at Reval which is in course of con- were buried under the ruins. One dead l body was recovered and five injured per- sons were extrieated from the ruins.

Realism may be said to be the great

secured this play the types of the two
great acts was the great problem. The
problem was solved by a trip to the

types hired.

HOW ELL HOST
At a Stag in Honor of Mr.. Fred D.
McCracken |

At a Stag in Honor of Mr.. Fred D
McCracken.
AS Mr.. Fred D. McCracken, the pop
ular and efficient private secretary OF
Congressman F. G. Stevens, will
shortly join the ranks of the bene
diets. Mr.. Owen Howell, one of his
many friends, concluded that the
proper thing to do was to get up a
farewell stag. The result was the
gathering of a number of the gentle
men of the Twin Cities under his hos
pitable roof on the corner of Chats,
worth and Charles streets, last Mon
day evening. Mine host Howell had
prepared great Dutch lunch," con,
sisting of sauerkraut and wieners,
Boston baked beans, potato salad,
boiled ham, Spanish stew, spaghetti,
celery, pickles, cold slaw, rye and gra-
ham bread, coffee, cigars and cigar
cites. Of course, there was the usual
good brands of wines, liquors and
beer, which were duly sampled, with
much pleasure and satisfaction. Hand
some stems had been furnished for
the guests, and Hamm's favorite brew
was slipped in true German style.
During the early part of the evening
whist was played. The prizes were
won as follows: LIST, B. S. Smith,
deck Of cards; End, F. D. McCracken,
ticket to the Attacks Ball; 3rd or
BOBBY, F. L. McGhee, clay pipe.
The lunch was served in a sort of
buffet style, the guests few at a
time partaking as they felt disposed
MI. Bismark G.. Archer was toast
master and acquitted himself finely
Speeches were made by W. R. Nor
ris, F. l.. McGhee, w. r. Francis, Dr.
Waldo Turner, DR.. R. S. Brown, B. S.

Chat Oliver, E. j. Murphy, and all paid
high compliments to the candidate for
the hymeneal altar. Mr.. McCracken
made most happy response, giving a
short account of his life in St. Paul
and the troubles, trials and tribula-
lions he met, and, with the help of his
friends, OVercame.
1t was quite late, or rather early in
the morning, when the jolly party dis
persed, wishing Mr.. McCracken a safe
journey on the uncertain sea of matri-
mony.
