Mr. P. W. Harp is said by one of his admirers tu be a candidate for governor, This means that the com- ing Democratic gubernatorial con- vention will not be devoid of excite- ment.

A LEAF FRO. STORY. (Chattanooga Times, Dem.) “At the White House one day,’’ says Laymon, in his life of Lincoln, that the law of supply and demand had nothing to do with the price of wheat, might do a little thinking on the reason why the price of warships and cannon has risen so remarkably within the past few weeks. Wuen war has been declared and the terrible conflict has been begun, President McKinley will have the consciousness that he {sought by all honorable means to avert it, and that in his position he was supported loy- ally by the great mass of the Ameri- can people. By the time the Prisident’s mes- sage will go to Congress on Mcnday, all the munitions of war ordered abroad by this government will have been landed on American soil, and when that has been done it can be said that this country is actually ready for war. While Spain has gained some by the delay, she has not gained nearly as much as has the United States, and this fact will be- come evident when the shot and shel's begin flying. The President has de- termined all along not to fight until he was thoroughly prepared. It is far better to have endured the present delay, than to prepare for war after hostilities have begun. Tue evening News’ little panegyric of yesterday about the Congressional committee is pretty clever—in its own little way, It’s something like the cologne Josh Billings used to tell about, pleasant to smell, but not to swallow. Of course Democrats never scheme. They are entirely too bigh- minded and self-sacrificing for any- thing of that kind, Of course every- body believes what the News told about that immaculate committee and its action, especially those onto the little pet schemes drifting about mong the Democrats. And even to hint that a Democratic politican would belong to a faction of any sort would be a sacrilege never to be torgiven. The Sun will have to beg pardon, now that the News, whose politics is like Joseph’s coat, has had its little say. ut we opine that the Sun will nevertheless have much rich and racy news about Democratic harmony in this congressional fight before it is over; and the News might as well be- gin putting ins large stock of the kind of articles with which it regaled an appreciative public yesterday. M’KINL£EY AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, Louisville Post, We fail to see what Messrs, Lentz, McMillin and Bailey expect to make by their assaults on the President. The American people prefer peace to war, and if it is possible to secure the liberation of Cuba without war they are willing, if necessary, to wait a few days longer. The attacks yesterday reached a degree of violence and vituperation that can in no degree weaken the ad- ministration, and no such policy as that outlined by Messrs. Lentz, Mc- Millin and Bailey can fail to weaken the opposition in the coming Congres- sional lection. If war should come, the conduct of it will fall on the Republican party and not on the Democratic leaders. If war comes, the elections will be the West, excited and troubled about omissions of the administrations, The President heard them patiently, and then re- plied ; ‘Gentlemen, suppose all the property you were worth was in gold, and you had put it in the hands of Blondin to carry across the Niagara river on a rope, would you shake the cable or keep shouting out to him: “‘Blondin, stand up a little straighter ; Blondin stoop a little more; go & little faster; lean a little more to the North; lean a little more to the South; No, you would hold your breath as wellas your tongue, and keep your hands off until he was safe over. The Government officials are carrying an immense weight. Untold treasures are in their hands. They are doing the very best they can. commissions and which seeks to embarrass him after | s FOOD SUPPLIES. Hundreds of Tons Sent to the Cuban Reconcen- Owensboro Sendsa Generous Con- >» tribution to the Starving Cubans, New York, April 9.—Hundreds of tons of supplies for the reconcentra- | dos are on their way to this city iv care of the Central Cuban Relief} committee, ‘There is a train of| twenty-two care, filled with 800 tor of supplies, which will arrive here shortly from Omaha. The supplies are sent as an offering in memory of he wife of United States Senator Phurston, who died recently in Cuba. Phere are also. several large ship- ments from Rome and other cities in this state. Kighty tons were to have been sent yesterday by the Ward line steam- nip, the Ni . Owing to the jfact, however, that the vessel was withdrawn, the goods are piled up on the Ward pier. They will probably be sent by the City of Washington, scheduled to sail today, ‘There are also 200 tons of supplies now in Brooklyn warehouse awaiting ‘some gentlemen were present from | shipment, The Owensboro Messenger says: “The L. and N, received its first shipment of supplies from Owensboro to the Cubans yesterday,’’ said Mr. W. M, O'Bryan, the local freight and passenger agent of the L. and N., to the Messenger last night. ‘It was a }lot of provisions, and was shipped to Port Tampa, Fla., to be forwarded from there to Havana to the starving Cubans. The general freight office of the L. and N, at Louisville gave us orders about a month ago totrans- port all supplies for the Cubans to Port Tampa free of charge, and thi is the first shipment we have ha ‘The shipment was made by « Mr. Weldon, residing here in the city, but Ido not remember his first e. The goods were a contribution to the. starving insurgents one of the lo- I churches, but I not ask Mr. Yeldon which church it was.’’ It is quite probable that this is the TWELVE INCH COAS drop tons of projectiles on the deok of T DEFENSE MORTARS, Sixteen of these powerful 12 inch mortars are now mounted at Sandy Hook, near New York city, and similar batteries are in position at various seaports. They are mounted in deep pits, aro invisible to au enemy and are designed to an attacking ship. Keep silence Don’t badger them. and we'll get you safe across.” A good many of us could give ats tention to Father Abraham’s advice, about theis time, and thereby, pos- sibly, make the President's path a little less difficult, and not detract at all from our own usefulness. We don’t know just how much heed the President is giving to the clamorers, but indications seem to show he is not greatly disturbed by anything but anxiety lest he make a mistake, He must ignore the shouting. The most of it he can regard only with feeling of contempt. 'T ELECTIONS, municipal | THE REC During the past week elections have been held in many) cities and towns in Wisconsin, Illi-| nois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Colorado, Minnesota, Ohio, Washington, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and state officers and a Legislature were elected in Rhode Island, The Democrats won the day in Chicago, which is often the case in minor elections there, while in Kansas City the Republicans achieved a des cisive victory. The one official elect- ed in Cincinnati a Democrat, and was elected on local issues. The Republicans made decided gains in Nebraska; a fusion ticket defeated the Republicans in Milwaukee; the Democrats won, a5 usual, in Little Rock, and the Republicans had the best of the battles in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Washington. In Rhode Island, which ‘was car- ried by the Democrats in 1589, 1890, was not between Democrats and Republi- cans, but between the administration party and the ‘‘opposition.’’ By November the war may be closed victoriously ; where then would be the ‘‘opposition ?”” Or the struggle may be more seri- ous than we imagine; in that casedo the leaders mentioned suppose that the American people would ‘‘change horses in crossing the stream,‘’ The Democratic party of the North during the war of 1861 made the stu- pendous blunder of opposing the ad- ministration in everything it did. It opposed its financial policy, its for- eign policy, its slavery policy, its military policy ; it was a mere party of negation and even in 1864 ‘‘pro- nounced the war a failure,’’ Well it was not « transcendent success, and yet Mr. Lincoln easily 1891 and 1893, the Republicans gained @ dicisive triumph, electing their ticket and a deci majority of the Legislative candidates, thereby insuring a Republican Seuator as suc- cessor to Mr. Aldrich, whoze term expires next March, Whenever the drift is toward Democracy Rhode Is- laud either goes Democratic or gives a very small Republican plurality, but the Republican majority in that state this week was one of the largest which the party has ever obtained, Complete returns show the Kansas City republican city tickets headed by Mayor James M. Jones, to have been elected by an average majority of 1,500. The upper house is en- tirely republican and the democrats elected but four out of 14 members of the lower house. first shipment of supplies ever sent out from Owensboro to Cuba. The Rome correspondent of the London Daily Mail says:‘‘The Pope's mediation will probably not go fur- ther, as President McKinley has de- clared that an armistice with the Cu- bans would not go to the root of the matter.’” PROFESSIONAL DR.

He is now a full-fledged dentist, and will no doubt meet with much success ashe basa host of frends in this city. On next Tuesday evening at the dancing hall in the Campbell build- ing a dance will be given which will beunder the auspices of the younger society set. The younger set has in its circlea large number of pretty girls and fine young men, and before long the set which has hitherto been known as the ‘‘younger’’ one, will have to be known as the old one or get off the carpet. But one thing is certainly in their favor—they seem to be ‘getting off” about as rapidly as could possibly be expected. The dance Tuesday evening will no doubt be a very enjoyable affair, as it will be the first one they have given. On Thursday evening at the Pal- mer house german will be given by the German club, it being the first since Lent began. A large crowd will likely attend, On Friday evening a charity ball will be given at the Campbell build- ing. This ball is under the direction of several ‘adies and a large number of tickets have already been sold. Next Saturday Mrs. Will Clem- ents, Mrs. Nothan Nelson, Mrs. James Rady, Miss Geraldine Sanders and Mrs.Clements’ two little children will leave on the City of Chattanooga for St. Louis to be gone about ten days, A very delightful trp is an- ticipated by them. Mrs. Walter Johnson arrived to- day from Evansville, accompanied by her sister, Miss Lynda Janes, and Miss Ethel Hopkins. Miss Hopkins will be the guest of Miss Mary Bos- well, and Miss Janes will visit her many relatives here. The friends of Mr. Maurice Nash are glad to see that he has entirely returned. They did not go to New Orleans, as they expected to, Mr. Frue’s sister having come from De- troit to see him. This morning at 10:30 o'clock Miss Edith Love gave her first class lesson in physical culture. Miss Julia Petter left yesterday for Atlanta, Ga., where she will be mar- ried to Mr, Frank Kladden. Miss Petter is the eldest daughter of Mr. Justus Petter, and ts a bright, at- tractive young wom: Mr, Klad- den was formerly of this place, and has a number of friends here who offsr congratulations. Mrs, Joe Hart’s condition is un- changed. She is extremely low. A number of people are interested in the woman’s meeting at the Wind- sor theater on South Third street, Last night ‘‘What the Bible 3 about our own day and generation,’” was the subject of discourse. The meeting of the Seventh Day Advent- ists will continue until Sunday night. Yesterday Master Melton Waller- stein entertained forty of his little friends from four to seyen with a donkey perty, it being his birthday. Delightful refreshments were served and pretty souvenirs given to each child. At the last of the evening the tail was pinned upon the donkey by the blindfolded children, at which Master Roy Davis won the prize and Master Sammy Dreyfuss the booby. At seven nune of the little guests were willing to leave so played on until nearly eight when they took leave of their bost, all saying they had never enjoyed an evening more in their lives, May little Master Wallerstein enjoy many more just as happy birthdays is the wish of all his little friends, Mrs. R. T. Boone is still quite ill, her condition being about the same today as yesterday. | LV a) ———DEALERS IN-—— Furniture, House Furnishings, Carpets, Mattings, Trunks, Stoves, Etc., Etc.
