The Englishman hunted through the folios of the British Musem, to find what had been said about the beast; the Ger- man went into his study, locked the door, lit his pipe and begat to evolve a con- ception of the animal fromt his own con- sciousness; the Frenchman went down to Sahara to see.

While the policy of the administration been to preserve pes has e, it is now very probable that all hope of closing the struggle Cuba by diplomatic means has been abandon- ed and that now the administration is seeking the best manner of interven- tion that will end the Cuban war. It may be that the results of the court of inquiry as to the cause of the de- struction of the Maine will cause for freedom in war; certain it is that if the cause of the horror was a Spanish torpedo that withstand the vehemence of the popular pris ing that would follow.

Mr. Charlton, of Louisville, has introduced a bill that provides that the County Judge of each coun- ty, together withthe Mayor of the ounty seat, shall constitute a hotel commission, with full powers to fix the rates of hotels, houses and restaurants, and fixes a maximum rate of charge for all these all boarding institutions. ‘The maximum rate for a first-class hotel, under the bill, is $1.50 per day, 50 cents per day for boarding houses, and 20 cents per meal for restaurants, The commis- sion shall make out a monthly bill of fare for all hotels, boarding houses to discharge this self-imposed duty. |* GOEB 'S 'PORCE BILL Senator famous ‘Force Bill’ he tempting to force upon the free peo- ple of Kentucky by pointing to the startling fact that the Eleventh Dis- trict increased its frepublican ma- jority in the Presidential election of 1806, and asserting that Mr. 8. J. Roberts, the Chairman of the Ke~ publican State Campaign Committee, Goebel seeks to justify the 1. is at- “stole the electoral vote of Kentucky »| for McKinley.’” While it is an admitted fact that Eleventh district did republican ma- the First some surprisingly and in view of these facts, the Lexington Leader, which Mr. Roberts is editor, gives some facts as to the recent elec- the give Me- Kinley an increased jority, it is also true that district rolled up large majorities for Mr. Bryan, tion: Let us look into this awful Elev- enth district, of which we have heard so much since the election in Novem- ber, 1896. This district has been gerrymandered from time to tiie to make it as solidly republican as pos- sible, and insure, if possible, eve other district in Kentucky to the Democrats. Seventeen mountain counties, every one republican, con- stitute a district so enormously Re- publican that scarcely any effort is made [to get the republican vote out. During the clos days of the piign of 1896 the prediction was freely made that the Eleventh dis- trict would give McKinley 15,000 plurality, end the result was actually disappointing to many republicans, The district gave Bradicy a plural- ity of 12.088 in 1895, and notwith- standing the extraordinary interest in the campaign of 1896 the plurality for McKinley was but 14.383, an ine crease of 2,295 over the plurality of the year before. Does Senator Goebel ever take into consideration that a single agricul- tural county in Western Kentucky shawed in the election of 1596 almost a3 great an increase over 1 in its demovratic plurality as the whole of the overwhelmingly republican Elev- enth district showed in its republican plurality: iraves county in 1895 gave Hardin 4and Bradley 1,227, a demo- cratic plurality of 1, In 1896 Graves county gave Br an 4,699 and McKinley 1,628, democratic plurality of 3,071, ‘This was an increase of 2,034 in the democratic plurality of a single interior county, beside which the re+ publican increase of 2,295 in an en tire district of seventeen republican counties pales ioto utter insiguifi- cance, In 1895 the First district gi Hardin 13,167 and Bradley a democratic plurality of ¢ 896 it gave Bryan 25,850 and McKinley 13,304, a democratic piu- rality of 12,546, 9 gain 9,037 im the democratic plurality over the guber~ natorial election. A republican increase of 2,000 ia southeastern Kentucky is ground for revolutionizing the election system and nullifying the secret ballot in Kentucky; while a democratic in a crease of 9,000 in western Kentucky is proof of the wisdom and enlight- enment of a free people. latter. bid \f gine Makes An- | } ec The Old Fire E other Run.
