DOES This LOOK like RETRENCHMENT
OR ECONOMY?

We heard great deal about econo-
my and retrenchment before the gen.
eral assemble convened. The mem
bers of this body were busy telling
the people how badly retrenchment
and economy were needed, and promis-
ed that this session of the legislature
would reduce the states expense &C.
count. The assembly costs the state
about Sl700 per day. That body coll
vened on Monday, January 9Th, held
brief sessions for two days, then ad-
journed till January 18th. four days of
doing nothing, $500 of the money of
the tax payers spent without any re-
turn. In the two days, appropriations
amounting to about $40, 900 were made,
most of which goes for salaries of ex.
ira officers and employees of the state.
First week nearly $4,000 spent fol
nothing. Does this look like economy
or retrenchment?

We find our MODEST and truth cir
culating neighbor. Mr.. Shelton Saufiey.
of the Interior Journal, saying editori-
ally in his last issue:-
IF editor Joe Robinson is so anxious
to get out opposition to Congressman
Helm, why don't he run himself? We
understand that many of his friends
believe that he is suitable congression-
al timber. We believe ourselves, that
he is. You run. Joe. and see if you
can beat Harvey. Don't try to make
someone else the goat
Well. with that Goliath of Demo-
cratic sfrenth, the Watch Dog of the
state treasury, who promises to his
constituents of Lincoln County in
prayerful words the day before the
electiOn-EcOnomy and the day after he
assumes his duties at Frank fort votes
for an extravagant and unconstitutional
appropriation, with ali this lower of
strength in the good old county of our
birth and Young manhood turning the
people of our childhood against us in
rage, not permitting US the honor of a
single friend perhaps makes US rather
bear the ills we have.
We might for a moment consider
contesting with the Hon. Harvey
Helm. but to contemplate the idea of
diverting Shelton Sauflev from the
absorbing satisfaction of blowing long
and loud his own horn all the time
through the columns of the Interior
Journal about his big deeds and doings
in the legislature to little Congress
ional race, Oh Danish, the thought.
To start that Editor on a campaign
of SANDER, falshood and misrepresenta-
ton against another in addition to his
against Congressman Stanley and
Judge Charley Hardin, we are intimi-
dated. He might slip some more pol
itieal dope to his angel, the Louisville
Post. Excuse US please this time.

Following In Our Footsteps.

The pathway of the bootlegger and
the illegal vender of spirituous liquors
is becoming exceedingly rugged in the
cities of Richmond and Danville, and
many convictions are being had for
these offenses. They are but follow
ing the course which has been pursued
in Lancaster for 10 these many years
until we have come to be noted for
having town that is absolutely free
from such offenses. A bootlegger is
never allowed to ply his calling for
long at time in Lancaster, and his
first offense usually proves his undoing.

Messrs Speith & Co. the local tobac-
