Tae offer of a place on the Demo- cratic state ticket to L. K. Taylor to keep him from running for congress this fall isa delicate compliment to Benjamin Keys. Ir is now said that Bryan is about to write a book on Mexico. It should be called ‘‘Twenty Days in the Land of the 40 Cent Dollar; or, the Boy Orator Among the Greasers.”’ Hon. C. K. Wurexer didn’t pro- 5 be caugbi out in the wet if a le diplomacy will count for any- thipg. Hence he announces that he is for a free silverite for chairman of the Democratic congressional com- mittee and is ‘‘agin’’ all who falter in their fidelity to Bryanism. Possisirt one of the smalles papers in the state, is the Middlesboro Rec- ord, which is an eight-page, three- column weekly; but like every other enterprise in the ‘‘Magic City’’ it makes up in energy and ability what- ever it may be lacking in other re- spects. Small sized papers seem to be popular in that part of the state.

While such spiritnally miaded papers as the Lowsville Die patel: aud Owensboro Messenger are aivo- » cating the disfranchisement of the negro, and the Democrats in North Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana are actnally disfranchising him, for the legislature ot Kentucky to elect a negro to office on the flimsy excuse that he isa Democrat is an unpardonable departure from Demo- “cratic traditions. Tuar was a curious gathering of Politicians at Washington the other day when the friends of free coinage assenbled to consult how to save their pet proposition from the de- struction toward which it was rapidly drifting. The were among those present Senator Jones, of Nevada, a life-long Republican ; Senator Teller, of Colorado, a life-long Republican ; Senator Butler, of North Carolina, a Populist; Senator White, of Califor- nia, a Democrat; Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, a Republican; Sen- ator Allen, of Nebraska, a Populist; Representative Bailey, of ‘Texas, 2 @ Democrat, and Marcus Dailey, of ver mine owner, Tue question of the age of consent is again before the Kentucky legisla- ture in the form of a bill to raise the age from thirteen to sixteen years. Asa matter of fuct the age of con- seat should be eighteen years. And while legislating upon this subject the state should establish a reform school for abandoned girls under the age of eighteen, or whatever the ae of consent may be. Every protec- tion that a high age of consent will give to the young girls of the state should be given. At the same time men should be protected from ad- Yenturestes by a law that will send to the reform school every girl of im- moral character who figures in any crimival case under the above law or who is found in an immoral resort. | ( Oxx of the interesting rumors in Two Kentucky Chicfs Leit Yes- field, and Marshal Wilsgo, of Prince- ton, met in the cily yesterday by ap- pointment, and left on the St. Louis train for Chicago, to attend the trial week, eudeavor to regain the prestige he at one time had in Democratic councils It 1s doubtful, however, if Hill, with all his organizing ability, can do Bryanism any good in the Kast.

Manufacturers’ Record At New Orleans on January 8 a to- tal of 90,395 bales of cotton and 549,- 011 bushels of wheat was cleared for export in fourteen vessels, The Tennessee River Improvement sociation has been organized with Newell Sanders, of Chattanooga, pres- ident; Col. Tomlinson Fort, of Chat- tanooga, first vice-president; R. L, Goulding, of Chattanoogs, secretary and treasurer. Vice president and members of the executive comunittee represent towns in Tennessee, Ala- bama and Georgia. ‘The Commercial club of Birming ham, Ala., has determined to arrange for a permanent exhibit of the re- sources of the Birmingham mineral district. It is proposed to erect # building especially adupted for that purpose. The collection, when ar- ranged, will probably be sent to the Transmis pi exhibit at Omaha, Neb., also to the Paris exposition. In his report for January 7 Secre tary Henry G. Hester, of the New Orleans cotton exchange, states that the total supply of cotton to date was 7,720,045 bales, an increase of 820,357. The exports were 3, 975,729, an increase of 401,916. Northern spinners took 1,254,023, an increase of 285,586, Southern spin- ners took 492,299, au increase of 20,537 bales. According to the annual report of the flour mills of Nashville, Tenn., these indus consume nearly 2,- 000,000 bustiels of wheat raised in the state annually, not including western grain. three largest mills have a combined capacity of over 5,000 barrels of four daily, or about 1,400,000 barrels annually, es- timating 313 working days to the} year. The capital employed in the flour mill industry alone is over 61,- 000,000, and it is calculated that 2,000 persons are given employment in them, While much of the pro- dnee is sold in the Southern states, the mill e extending their bus. piso to Europe Ne Servant’s Room Broken lato Sat-) urday Night, The room occupied by Lucret Ward, cook at Mr. L.

Indications of Prosperity That are Noticeable at Beginning of this Year—Cuban To- baceo Soon to Come In. Some of the Workings of the New Tariff—Louisiana Su- gar Industry—The Tin Plate Business, Oftivial statistics show that the bal- ance of trade between Canada and the United States for 1897 was about $17,000,000 in favor of this country. The flint-glass factories of the coun- try show a healthy condition of trade. It is reported that a number of facto- ries have so many orders on file that it will be impossible to fill them for a number of weeks to come, During the past year the States has furnished more than one- haif of the wheat imported into rope. The year’s export of Amer can wheat (including flour) amounted to over 180,000,000 bushels, out of the world’s total shipment of about 320,000,000 bushels. Information has been received at the state department from Mivister Woodford at Madrid to the effect that the embargo on Cubgn tobacco will be raised on January 15th, This action of the government of Spain r vokes the decree of Cuban Gener: Weyler so far as certajn tohaceo-pro- ducing provinces in Cuba are con- cerned. The prices of farm products con- tinue good, aud our export trade is enormous. The figures for 1897 show that the United States furnished more than one-half of the wheat required by European importing countries Our exports of American wheat and Jour aggregated 182,000,000 bush- els out of the world’s shipments of 320,000,000 bushels.

This was done without its effect being felt in the least by the money market, notwithstanding it is & transaction which eclipses of the kind ever before known in this country. All trouble and stringency was avoided through the skill of Sec- retary Gage, whose practical knowl- edge of banks and baaking stood him in good turn, Reports from Louisiana indicate that the past season has been a profit- able one with the sugar planters The crop has been slightly in excess of 1896 and nearly equaling the crop of 1804, which was the largest in the history of the state. ‘The tonnage of cane was below the average, but the yield of sugar has increased. The average grade of sugar is better than last year, prices are advanced and a good profit is returned to the grow- ers, resulting in the advance of from 20 to 25 per cent. in sugar property, nany old plantations being brought under cultivation that had been idle since war times, Avother indication of the prosper- ous business condition of the country in 1897 is shown by an examination the railroad statistics for ti The sma!l number of railroac nkruptcies of last year and thi very remarkable progress made in the restoration of companies already in that position to a solveat basis, through reorganization, shows con- clusively the improved condition of that branch of business. The ban ruptey of eighteen companies with only 1,537 miles of road and an ag- gregate capital of $92,800,000 in 1897 is in marked contrast with thirty-four roads in 1596 embracing 5,441 miles of main track and capital amounting to $275,597,000, and is but an incident as compared to 1893, when seyenty-four roads were in- volved, representing 29,000 miles and the immense capital of $1,718,- 000,000, An of the fair measure of prosperity in the country during 1897 is in the num- ber of bank failures as compared with previous years.
