“‘pegro demecrat’’ has been elect to office by the democratic members of the Kentucky legislature. Yet the scarecrow of ‘‘nigger domination’ will be worked to a finish when the next campaign comes, just as usual, Ths State Department at Wash- ington has appointed a committee to receive donations for starving Cubans and to see that they are forwarded to the unfortunates in Cuba, At the same time Spain is getting ready to send fourteen thousand more troops to Cuba, Tax books of the National Treas- ury show a surplus for December of $1,786,494, thus bringing to an end the long list of monthly deficits that were a result of the Wilson tariff. There is every reason to expect that ® surplus will hereafter be a nu able feature of our Suxator Desoz will withdraw his bill to reform the civil service and substitute therefor a bill calling for total repeal. He thinks the new bill will be more likely to secure Demo- cratic support,and in this idea,the sen- ator is undoubtedly correct. If there fs one thing more than another that 2 blowa-in-the-glass free silverite has po use for, it w civil service reform, or anything, in fact, that is founded on the merit system.

Many Re- publican ‘Aubs, which had engaged quarters at Columbus, in order to take pa’ fin the inauguration cere- monies npxt Monday, have decided not to attend. Indignation meetings are bein;y held all over the state. The Governor’s picture appears in the country papers surrounded by heavy black border, and not a Republican Paper in the whole state supports the Governor in his traitorous posi- tion, Speaking of Governor Bushnell’s strange course, the Cincianati Com- mercial Tribune says: His hostility to Senator Hanna is not simply the act of an ingrate. It is a deliberate insult to every self-re- specting Republican who understands the nature of a pledge. Thgre is time yet, we repeat, for bot er to resume his place in Republican party, If he fails to fivail himself of the opportunity, he will go down in the history of Ohio not as an upright, honorable leader of his party and the worthy scion of men who fought to give birth to this Republic, but as a traitor to the thousands whose voices he stifled to serve his own selfish ends, The name of Bushnell bears an honored place in the annals of this Nation. It will be a sadly tarnished legacy for its present owner to hand down to his descendants if he does not rise superior to the miserable band of political deserters now skulk ing at the heels of the Republican army in Ohio, Blood will tell. The Republicans of Ohio are waiting to see the color of the Bushnell blood. VHAT DO ALL THES! BIG WORDS MEAN. » It the Courier-Journal can stand Sian af — it is all right, ene.

The total bonded indebtedness is $3,483,990.86. The total flosting indebtedness is $1,562,125.33, mal ing the total indebtedness $5,046, 116,19. The resources in the sink- ing fund are $586,61 After deducting the latter amount the net amount of indebtedness is $4,459,- 503.47. Of this amount the edu tional bonds, which amount to $: 312,596.86, are not subject to re- demption, but constitute a perpetual debt, the interest upon which is pay- able semi-annually The Hancock county officials are severely criticised for their failure to punish the lynchers of the negro, Bushrod, who was hanged in broad daylight on the public equare, In this connection the Governor says: ‘‘Allow me to call your attea- tion to the insufliciency of the law concerning an attempt to rape. In such cases, where the person as- 6 ceceives Injury, the law should punishment by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than ten years, or life, or by death, in the discretion of the jury, as the extent of the injury may demand. ‘The fiend who ma an assault on a defense- less woman, with such hellis pur- pose in view, is equally guilty with him who accomplishes his purpose But for the sake of law and order and the fair name of the common- wealth, courts, rather than mobs, should punish him.’ The turnpike raiders are handled without gloves, and it is shown that asa result of raiders the state’s holdings in turnpike stock have sbrank in value from $400,000 to $100,000. The Governor, after bitter! raigning peace officers and charging that they have been in sympathy with the raiders, says: ‘This evil, so long continued, is seeking other fields of operation,’ It naturally occurs to the raiders that if toll-gates can be taken with impu- nity, all other property can be taken in like manner.

COURT. 3 WE wish to thank our many customers for bedi past year, and to say that the year 1 most exhausting drain on the treas-| co ury is ‘Criminal Expenditures.’ In this are comprised jury fees, witness fees, sheriffs, marsials, jailers and constables’ fees, costs of examining courts, etc. ese expenditures are constantly increasing, and under the present system will continue to in- crease, Much of the expense grows | % out of the postponement of t , continuances and hung juries. The latter frequently more than duplicate the fees of witnesses, sheriffs, juries, ete, Not only so, in this way pros- ecutions are worn out and many guilty men are acquitted. ‘These dis- agreements, almost universally, grow out of indisposition to inflict the death penalty, or differences of opinion us to the extent of the pun- ishment.” During the past year witness fees ameunted to $53,000; fees of sher- iffs, constables and policemen, $44,- 800; examining courts, $14,424; jailers’ fees, $126,024, and for guards for conveying convicts te the penitentiaries, 927. These, he thinks, cao be greatly reduced by proper legislation, Under the head of ‘‘Penitentiaries’’ the Governor details the treubles over the chair contracts at the Frank- fort prison and the troubles at Eddy- ville, where fire destroyed the shops. At Eddyville, however, shops are being constructed, and when they are completed the State will have as many as 1,350 convicts at work. The Governor suggests an appropriation to pay for the Eddyville shops, which are being built by the Leonard Tay- lor Company, which charges 6 per cent, interest on the money advanced. He recommends also an appropriation to secure apparatus for protection against fire, The appointment of a committee is also recommended to investigate the alleged exorbitant charges mace for water at the Frank- fort prison. Tae water company now charges the state 85,000 a year, A “Board of Charities and Cor- rections’’ to consist of three commi: sioners is recommended.

In six weeks it broke out again in both legs, also on my shoul- der. Thesmall bones were taken eut. It continued until 1876. In this time I had twelve different phy- sicians, They told me the only rem- edy was amputation; that it could never be cured. For #x months I could not walk = step.

In 1887 I came back to Birmingham, Ala, I was advised to write you, which I'did. You wrote me that B. B. B. would coure me, and I could get the medicine from Nabors & Morrow, Druggists, of our city. I bought ten bottles and be- tore I had finished my fifth bottle my legs began to heal, and in Jess than two months I was sound and well. That bas been nearly two years ago, and no sign of its return yet. I have spent in cash over $400.00, and B. B. B. work that all the rest failed to do.
