How to Converse with Authore.

i have learned, says a writer in the
Atlantic Monthly, that in conversations
with authors there should be long
pauses. This is because every remark,
after being received by the ear, must
be submitted to a strict brain analy-
sis; and tthen given a soul bath before
it is proper to venture a reply. l
have found, also: that in answering
too quickly myself lose caste. ! now

Charge to Hopkins
County Grand Jury

Madisonvi!le, KY, Feb. s.
Judge Carl Henderson, Of Mar
ion, gave some specific instruc-
tons to the grand jury yesterday
when the Hopkins Circuit Court
convened in jacksonville, rela-
tive TO the society gambling that
was being carried on in all cities
and towns, and urged the grand
jury to investigate all bridge par
ties and indict every society wo-
man that was player of cards
and winning prizes. He stated
that you might read in any paper
where a card game had been
played in higher society and
some prize had bad been won.
He said these society woman
had much more influence on the
city, and town than a lower class
had, and it was the duty of the
grand jury to probe the card
games and stop this terrible crime
He told the grand jury in the
charge that too much time was
taken up with the poor negro and
a class of that nature. where il
was game for something to eat
and wear, and the higher society
ladies played for the booty as
well as the poor negro, and they

Sayings by Lincoln

No man is good enough to gov
ern another man without that
others consent.
When the white man governs
himself, that is self government,
but when he governs himself and
also governs another man, that
is more than self government
that is despotism.
This government cannot en-
dure permanently half slave and
half free.
have always thought that all
men should be free, but if any
should be slaves it should be,
first, those who desire it for
themselves and, secondly, those
who desire it for others.
Let us have faith that right
makes might. and in that faith
let us dare to do our duty as we
understand it.
Public sentiment is everything
With public sentiment nothing
can fail: without it nothing can
succeed. Consequently he who
molds public sentiment goes
deeper than he who epacts stat
utes OF pronounces decisions.
He makes statutes and decisions
possible or impossible to be exc
cuted.
Our fathers brought forth a
nation conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal.
If there be those who would
not save the Union unless they
could at the same time save sla-
very, | do not agree with them.
| do not agree with them. If
there be those who would not
save the Union unless they could
at the same time destroy slavery,
| do not agree with them. My
paramount object in this strug-
gle is to save the Union and is
not either to save or to destroy
slavery.

Tariff Out of Politics

Take the worship from religion,
Or nutrition out of food;
Take the wetness out of ocean,
Or all virtue out of good.
Take all saltiness out of brine,
Or the bitterness from gals;
From the sun take all the shine,
From Niagara take the falls.
From the mules the bray internal,
From the elephant the trunk,
From Bull Moosers take the Col
onel-
Let steam rollers roll. kerplunk
But the doctrine of Protection
Well emasculate? Oh, no!
Though the Free Trade politician
Storm and rave and sweat and
blow.
Not an academic question
To be banded by professors
IT'S the glory of protection
Its denfers are aggressors.
Fighting for our own home mar
kets
Is a fight for the red-blooded;
Prosperous markets, shining
targets.
Not with smokeless chimneys
studded.
Out of politics? The folly!
Out of fumbling, out of blum
der,
Ho, wage earners! Charge and
rally!
Save your jobs and live, by
thunder.
Live on Yankee scale, not
Europe's;
Independent. busy. free.
Why should any think that
you're dupes
To Free Traders sophistry?
Out of Politics? Protection?
Then a church without a creed
A republic sans election

Circuit court adjourned here
last week and convened this week
at Whitley City, McCreary Coun-
ty, with Judge Elem D. Sampson
presiding. The Judge has little
time between court terms, and he
is a tireless worker. 1t is said
by lawyers at the Bar in his courts
that he tries and disposes of more
cases than any other judge in
Kentucky. During the last few
days of our court it was presided
oyer by a Special Judge. Judge
Sampson desiring to be away in
the interest of his candidacy for
Appellate Judge, it was agreed
by party litigants that Hon. Thos
D. Tinsley preside. Judge Samp-
son thus relieved, took advantage
of the time, and visited quite a
number of the twenty seven coun-
ties composing the 7th Appellate
District. He returned to his cir
cult court district elated over the
encouragement received. The Re-
publican voters are going to no
inmate Judge Sampson at the
August Primary for their >candi-
date.
When the entire membership
of the Knox County Bar endorsed
Judge Sampson for this high off
ice, as was heretofore published
in our columns, it was a tribute
to his high legal attainments and
his ability as a judge. When the
pee of Knox County endorsed
hk n Mass Meeting with near
" &Shousand voters present in
Abs Court House by unanimous
x-S5Ice and vote, it was an express
sion of not only his high stand
ing as a jurist, but was an en-
dorsment of him as a man and
good citizen. and a candidate
worthy of their votes.
When the Sunday Schools and
Churches of his home town of
Barbourville all joined in endors-
ing him. and as d token of their
appreciation of his services on the
Bench as their Circuit Judge,
presented him with a beautiful
and costly ivory gavel, an account
Of which was also published in
our columns, in last week 8 issue;
that was a tribute and a distinc-
ton of more than ordinary i'm

The Underwood Tariff law did
not succeed in reducing the cost
of living, but it certainly re-
duced the revenues.
