REFORMS Xjf 4rgeS Governor Bradley Upc the Kentucky Qoncral Assembly Now In Session PREVENT MOBSINCREASE REVENUE fProtect Free Speech Give I Purity in Elections and Es tablish Houses of Re form for CHILDREN IN THE PENITENTIARY Some of the Principal Reforms the Governor Asks the Legislators to Accomplish at Once On Saturday March 13th the special session of the Kentucky Legislature convened at the call o Gov Bradley as published in full in TilE DEE of last week The Governors message urges strongly some much needed reforms which must be accomplished before Ken tuck proud as are her people of her fair namecan hold up her head among her sister commonwealths as a state that enforce her laws pays her debts and protects herI citizens Only those parts of the message that seem of greatest import and interest to all the people are here given but the various heads here set forth arc given in full except a portion of what the Governor says about Houses of Reform Gentlemen of the Senate and i House of Representatives When the administration came faficient revenue to pay current ex 1 iir1ittemi iwaYillcdto II and relief requested at the last ses sion You were asked to enact laws to abolish unnecessary offices reduce salaries curtailexpenses provide necessary revenue prevent athe result of which is that the financial credit of the State has suffered seriously expenses have utfore known in this Commonwealth i MOD VIOLENCEoSince your adjournment a num ber of citizens of the State have been atrociously murdered by cow ardly mobs In some instances although guarantees of protection had been given they proved mere ropes of sand and although courts were in session and in one instance the defendant on trial the sanctity of the law was ruthlessly invaded decency and order outtaged ando murder committed under pretense of purifying society and punishing crime No apology 01 excuse can be made for such conduct Those who congregate and conspire to and take human life are legally greater criminals than those whose lives heysecicto take for no crime is repulsive as that com itted under cloak of pretended vindication of law Such action docs not deter criminals or prevent crime Its effects are direful upon the community and bring the ad ministration of justice into con tempt The condemned criminal suffers earful and indescribable punish ment Jprturc as he confronts certain approaching death and notes the silent passage of the hours that bring him nearer to eternity Society Js impressed with his har rowing position and thus a legal condemnation and the execu tion that follows inspire horror in the mind of the doomed man and fear in that of the wouldbe mur derer The action of a mob on the other hand begets a spirit of lawlessness and disregard for human rights and is the work of onlyI few moments leaving in its wake an indellible stain on the locality where if occurs dealing out pun ishmenf the swiftness of which compared to that inflicted by the law is actual relief VLAWS EXTREME PENALTY No mercy should be shown therapist black or white but the ex treme penalty of the law be prompt ly inflicted Such a course will effect more good n thousand fold than the action of the mob Not only has human life Leon lawlessly taken but rights pf prop erty have been disregarded and midnight raiders in the counties of Franklin Wpodford Lewis Madi son Anderson Fleming Lincoln Mercer Washington and probably others have with impunity intim idated citizens co a destroy edt Illltel ana hpUM and openly law t4 j- o A J I up to this lime so far as I know to convict and have almost universally failed to arrest any ot the murderers and raiders who have thus d graccd the Commonwealth- in This is a sad commentary on ou civilization The power of the Executive to bring these outlaw s to justice is narrow and circum i scribed His only authority un Jess he should witness such conduct accompanied by a failure 0 protect the citizens by local thority is to assist county officers in discharging their duty which inmost instances they have man i fcstcd no disposition to performs He cannot even offer a reward foi the statute gives authority to takC this step only in aggravated cases of murder and other felonies agains person In 1873 a statute was enacted known as the Kuklux law ir which authority was given to offer a reward for the apprehension o those guilty of such crimes as have been committed by these turnpike raiders But in 1893 when the Legislature enacted a new r 01 Crimes and Punishments the provisions as to rewards among others was omitted and the Court of Appeals some years ago de cided that all portions of the law omitted were repealed The Executive has at all times been ready and willing to the fullest extent to uphold and assist those whose duty it was to apprehend these criminals of which disposition they were no- l tified NO SECRET SERVICE Your attention is further directed to the fact that the Governor has no right to make any draft upon the Treasury for the purpose of de tecting criminals in a quiet and se cret mannerwhich is of all others the most effective At your last session you were earnestly asked in my first official communication to take steps to prevent and punish mob violence Thereafter another message was sent to you recommending the en actment of a law making the counties in which such outrages were committed responsible in damages to the legal or personal representative of the victim and giving change pf venue to other counties ti order that a fair trial might be had The same measures are now recommended together withsuch provisions as will make counties in cases of personal where death docs not ensue VhenI ever the people of a county know tbatiihey will suffer financially by reason of such conduct it will prove an active incentive to vent the commission of such crimesI If Sheriffs Jailers and other peace officers having prisoners in heir custody or whose duty it is- o take them into custody would do their duty much of this trouble might be avoided In order thatI they may hereafter be more watch ul and faithful it is recommended hat in each case when a prisoners taken from their custody or is taken by reason of their failure to arrest and protect him that the fficer in charge or who knowing pf the crime and having reasona ble opportunity to take charge of the party fails to do so shall for cit his office It is further recommended that in cases where prisoners in confine ment may be armed without thereby enabling them to escape that the officer having them In custody shall have a right to arm them in rder that they resist such attacks No mob would be able to stand before the prisoner fighting for his life and the Jailer or Sheriff for his office II STATE INDEBTEDNESS The manner in which claims againsj the State have been hawked about and discounted their holders fleeced and shaved is discreditable Following is given a statement of the present condition of affairs and you arc most earnestly requested to enact such measures as will liquidate the floating debt and promptly pay current expenses so that the credit fthe State and those to whom th fState may become indebted will not suffer in tho future It has for some years been obvious that the rate of taxation was insufficient To reduce it vas a step in the right directionprovided expenses had been rcdu9also but reduced taxation expenses have brought about the neverfailing result Jlu It is apparent that the rate must be increased and as to how long this increase to continue depends entirelyupon steps that may be in direction of economy and the reduction of expenditures PLANS TO INCREASE REVENUE It in suggested that the passage of a wellregulated law increasing the license fees of wholesale and retail liquor dealers druggists and distillers would produce consider able revenue The same may be said of increased license fees on pool and billiard tables and other similar devices and of special taxes for the sale of tobacco cigars The license fees for circuses Ctcl other entertainments might increased and regulated according to the population of the various Co ntlesili which they exhibit License fees might be required o all persons selling pistol cartridges and all n wspapersandothcrsof J IIto give firearms Bsflre Imum iLA Jeeof two 1 dollars ichtb o J charged for each Commission i ir sued to an officer The tax on deeds and mortgages should be regulated according to the valui of the property mortgaged or con r veyed not less than twcntyfivi cents and not more than two dollars There is no reason why mortgage or deed for jioo worth of property should be taxed as much as one for f1000 worth o f property- i It is believed that a carefully constructed bill along the lines in dicated would produce considerable revenue II I rThe bonded indebtedness of the followingitcmsCerllficitci ot Indebtednet flisned Juno i 1893 dot June j I903ber i lug 4 per cent Inlereit per annumr pyabie

educational bonds have not been enumerated as apart of the indebtedness of the State on the ground that they arc not redeemable The fact that they constitute a continuing debt upon which interest is paid and represent that much money due the educational department which the State borrowed and expended docs not in my judgment author izc their omission from the column of indebtednessThe mentioned amounting in the aggregate toL 6394 have been past due many years and most probably will never have to be liquidated yet they arein fact due and owing and should be counted The resources of the

the late Superintendent of Public In struction the 44060 to the credit of the School Fund was exhausted and at the end of the fiscal year July i 1896 after the application of all taxes collected there was a deficit of 114612 The amount due teachers on the the first of January last was 165 000 This amount the Superin tendent assures ne will be paid by the end of the present fiscal year- sJuly 1st so that the revenues of the year 1896 will liquidate the current school indebtedness for that period together with the deli cit named By reason of the pay ment of that deficit and an increase in the common school enrollment of 8439 the per capita of 280 has been reduced to 220 WANTS FREE SPEECH Free speech is the inspiration of Republican government To deny ir abridge it is a cnme against lib

forthe devel opment of the vast resources of a great country during the late cam paign these outrages oft repeated are culminating now in the attempt to take human life One gate keeper was shot perhaps fatally while trying to save his house from the torch that had been applied by the raiders Two other tollhouses were saturated with oil and burned The Governor has taken prompt action and offered reward in these cases but as he sets forth in his message published in part in TilE BEE our laws do not provide the necessary relief from such con ditions as now exist A missionary corps should be organized for work in Kentucky and they should begin work on those demagogues who for fear of los ing their ascendency as leaders continually stoop to stir up the worst passions of the people and thus boost themselves into office their meat their drink and their respectability The Inspectors Report Elsewhere we publish a resume of State Mine Inspector Norwoods report for 1896 which has just been completed The report is full of interest to coal miner and operator And not the least im portant fact developed is that the record of fatal accidents has under Mr Norwoods careful supervision shown a steady improvement and that the record for 1897 is the best I ever madetonnage of coat pro duced and number of persons em played being considered Of course our county of Hopkins re tains her supremacy as the great est coal producer in the State holding her past record of produc ing almost onefourth the entire States output Whitley county comes next producing a little over onehalf as much bituminous coal as Hopkins and some cannel The slight decrease of 1896 out put compared with that of 1895 is in no way surprising The wonder is that with such general demoralization to all business the decrease was not much greater The decided drop in the average selling price per ton is indicative of the very small profit to operators and in many instances reduced wages to miners The work to miners employed has been slightly better than in 1895 for the reason that fewer men have been employed and a larger number of days worked Wild Theories and Dishonest Methods Statistics show that the popula tion of Kansas is on the decrease while insanity is on the increase Since 1890 the population has dropped off 6 per cent while there has been an increase Of 41 per cent in the number of insane persons in the State asylum and all who have been legally declared insane arc not included in the calculation The superintendent of the insane asy lum says that financial agitation and discussion which has been go ing on in the State for several years is in a great degree responsible for the increase of insanity Populism has much to answer for The State laws against railroads and other corporations have not only ruined their earning capacity but have diverted capital to other fields The repudiation of incurred debts by legal decision through the declara tion of unconstitutiohality of stat utes which authorized the issue of bohds for road improvement has left Eastern parties upon whom they were foisted with thousands of dollars of worthless paper while the public the abutting land own ers and the counties enjoy the good roads for which they have never paid Kansas securities are a stench in the nostrils of safe ia vestors and the legislation pro posed by the sitting solons has a tendency to repel instead of attract immigration In this connection J H Davis writes very sensibly as followsIf corporation is to be re strained by law from profits over and above a given percentage upon the capital originally invested therej is no good reason why Smith Rob inson and Jones should not be equally restricted JJ Smith bought real estate on Broadway sixty years ago for 50000 and gets more than 3000 income from it now let the surplus be confiscated If Jones started a cotton mill with 100000 a quarter of a century ago and has managed it with so much ability that it is fairly worth 500000 now put a legislative committee to work on his books and then compel him to sell his goods so low that he cannot clear- over 6000 per year If Robinson started a newspaper and worked its circulation and advertising up until it gives an income of half a million or a million dollars per year let the law fix his advertising rates at onetenth of what they now are and declare that his paper shall be given away for nothing because he is making too much money Let us regulate the com merce of the world by law declare that railway fare from the Atlantic to the Pacific shall not be more than SIO that a steam engine shall not be sold for Jlore than five per cent above the actual cost ofmil terials and labor that Tiffanys customers shall decide the selling

Senator Salyer DOCTOR hUNtER THE CAUCUS NOMINEE Special correspondence to TUB Baa 1897The day evening was a very tame if not gatheringThewas accepted byoutsidcrs as an in dication of stormy scenes to follow The naming of Hunter Holt Verkcs and Lewis as candidates for the nomination occupied but a short time and the caucus adjourned till nine oclock Saturday mom ing At that time it took but one ballot to put the tame of Dr Hunter in nomination as the Re publican choice for United States Senator The nomination was made unanimous The nominee was presented to the convention by Mr Bailey of the committee of no tification in a graceful speech pro mising loyalty to the contesting parties and pleading forsupport and co operation of their friends so as to ensure the speedy election of the successful contestant Dr Hunter made a brief address of thanks for the honor conferred and expressed the friendliest feel ings for those who had supported his opponents and declared that he had never uttered an unkind word against any member Judge Holt was called for and made a ringing plea for united action and was followed by Hon J W Lewis in the same vein Representative Burn ham vouches for the loyal support of the friends of St John Boyle who was unavoidably absent and- all the adverse forces seemed by their announcements of fealty to be closing up the ranks prepared to push forward to a speedy victory The decision Lieutenant Governor Worthington that this is a new andnot a continuation of last ses- Sion and therefore balloting for Senator cannot begin till the sec ond Tuesday although controverted by many seems to have been ac quiesced in The election of Dr Hunter to the Senate of the United States on next Tuesday seems to be a foregone conclusion Yet there arc all sorts of sensational rumors in circu lation The friends of Bradley arc said to have GovernorI alliancc with the money Democrats and disgruntled Republicans to elect him Senator instead of Hunter There is no likelihood of this being consum mated The Governor would lend himself to no such scheme which wouldImmediately hand over the reins of State government to the silver Democrats The sound money Democrats would not grasp at a shadow when sure by doing so of losing the substance The most implacable foe of Dr Hunter who desired his defeat would scorn to accomplish it by such means Everything now points to harmo nious action in Republican ranks The sudden death of Senator Salyer which occurred at his home last Sunday cast a gloom over the proceedings of the two Houses Mr Bailey after paying an eloquent tribute to the character of the deceased offered resplutions of condolence to be spread upon the copyforwardedadoption of which the Houseupon motion of Mr Carroll immediately adjourned Senator Taylor was a SoundMoney Democrat There is not much probability that the absence of Senator Ogili vie on account of sickness or the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Salyer will delay the busi ness of the Assembly No neces sity seems to exist for their votes on any important question and it is expected that matters will pro ceed as usual until their seats arc fillled There seems to be a general de sire on the part of the conservative business men of both parties to expedite matters and make the ses sion as short as posssible Un necessary prolongation would cer tainly be detrimental to Republican interests as the additional expense would be attributed to them D K N Coal Famine at Enfield III Enfield 111 March130n ac count of railroad traffic being so badly impaired by high water

human body in too much neglect cd from tho standpoint of religion and of Christianity Its importance is prop erly emphasized in tho Bible It is said thcro to bo for the Lord to havo been purchased by Christ to be tho temple of tho Holy Ghost to bo cored for by God and also ib Is stated that it will be raised While nil this is declared In the Scriptures about the body how little its dignity worth and glory arc emphasis ed In Christian teaching How few sermons are preached upon tho subject How few topics for religious meetings aro along this samolinol In tho light of this neglect it is not to bo wondered at that the body is disparaged vilified tolerated by many as n nuisance am used by thousands ns a creature of appo tito and lust This Indifference and nog loot has resulted largely in n misandor standing as to tho true relation of body mInd and soul In thousands of lives tho body rules supreme while it should bo held in snbjcctlon bo a mere servant to the higher powers of man Tho proper relation is the body in subjection to tho mlud and body and mind in subjection to the soul ThochnuROot tho order not only weakens and destroys tho body but also tho mind and soul That our bodies have a tremendous influence upon our souls cannot be do nied Science proves it Tho man is composed of tho three parti body mind souland yet bo Is ono person And these three parts are so intimately connected with ono another that what affects ono affects them all Science cannot explain In all details how th body mind and soul act and react upon ono another but that they do is an un disputed scientific fact That tho body influences the soul is proved by Scrip turo If it did not why would so much stress bo laid upon tho subjection of hi body The Scripture constantly exhorts ns to mortify the members of our bodies Paul says I keep under my body and bring it into subjection lest that by any means when I havo preached to others I myself should bo a castaway I Cor ix 27 This language clearly declares that ono of tile means through which ho might possibly become a castaway was tho body If tho supremacy of the body can endanger tho eternal life of the soul- I t certainly has a tremendous Influence upon it Experience also teaches tho in fincuco of tho body upon tho soul Dan- Iel anti hilt companions wero all tho bet 1 tar mentally and spiritually because they bad taken care of their bodies I How much more useful many Christians would bo if they did but cultivate phys ical health I Uncared for bodies become griovions burdens and woeful hindrances Let us get a proper

dogma for dogma should bc traversed ia all the light that modern knowledge and research can furnish Rev It Harrower Methodist New York City The Labor Problem There will be no relief from growing poverty and distress until millions now shut away get back to the soil and become producers The solution of the labor problem lies at the end of this roadRev A J Wells Unitarian San Francisco Cal Too Much Realism There has come of late a change over the spirit of the novel Its noble uses have in far too many instances been vitiated by sbamefol abuses Prom a healthful fertilizing channel it has been turned into a noisome and noxious sewer Its standards of right and wrong have been abused It is villiany that is now triumph ant and honesty that Is crushed It is vice that is now honored and virtue that is sneered at and insulted The sane and healthy view of life no longer attracts the writer neither is it made attractive for the readerRabbi Joseph Kraaskopf Hebrew Pbiladulpbia Pa The Use of Talents God has given to all qualities and talents which be can use for the progress of his work Men are not made alike either b nature or by grace One mans food I another mans poison and Gollahs armor neither suited David nor was it needed by him The one important thing is no the nature of the talents nor the number but the faithful use of what has been in trusted to our care Both Moses and Joshua were successful and so is every one who accepts the work given of God and uses his talents aright God has the best place for the best man although men cannot always see this until the work is nlshedRev H J Steward Presby iin Clrcincati O- Church and State It is for Christians in America to give to the world an example and a proof that we can live in peace and amity as brethren in Christ

constantly by men from the far western states end tho south and southwestern states that it was not Mr Bryan and it was not silver that they wero in favor of but they needed some change to bring relief from the terrible condition of poverty and scarcity of money under which they labored They felt that their condition was so extreme and so painful that any change would be of value and when I came to look into tho matter and to talk in a friendly and kindly way with them they all confirmed tho same feeling which I had found at a long conversation in the treasury department in Washington that tho circulation of the country is quito out of joint that tho lungs and heart ant congested and that tho ex absolntelyIany i Ifound that thcro wero great sections countryIall where tho most

as cheaply as anymerchant could It has a double effect It is not only giving to those neighborhoods the money that they actually need but it is Mil eating the peoplo In thrift and prompt ness I hate talked with a great many of my banking friends who say that the whole thing depends upon the character of tho people that the people are SPAM latiyo and that nothing con bo doiilrthem My imprewion is that if ifthoughtful plan could be BURjest iK wpnld bo qnlto possible to educate all the agricultural people of tho country to understand that a Jiianwio Is thrifty and honest and sober olid prompt

TO GREATLY BENEFIT AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES Tbo American Agriculturist Explains Slow Farmers Are Milked by Crossroad Store With Credit flanks They Could Borrow at Low Jatc of Interest They Would Then Dp irco to Buy Ia the Cheapest and Sell In the Dearest Market Tho American Agriculturist ono of tho leading farm journals of this country has boon running n series of excellent editorials on tho subject of credit banks for tho benefit of farmers Quo of the first in tho issue of Nor 21 1800 discussed tho agricultural credit banks ofEngland Itattractedconsiderable attention and tho Grange and Farmers AllIanco in several states Ill seriously considering a trial of tho system thero outlined A recent editorial showed some of tho benefits of tho Scotch credit banks which loan small amounts to borrowers with out collateral but who can give at least two good sureties By this moans a capable and trustworthy young man can obtain a few hundred dollars at a mod crate rate of Interest with which to bqughtHodollar moro than ho actually uses and at any time can return any part of what is borrowed and stop interest on tho part returned Dunning Macleod a groat au thority upon banking says that this aye tem introduced years ago gave Scot tish agriculture a prodigious stimulus while to it also ho attributes tho mar velouR development ot manufactures thOjfacoleod declares that the uso of this forms of credit has boon moro helpful to land that tho richest gold orsilver mines would havo been The Agriculturist then described thoi special benefits of tho branch banks pfl Scotland anti Canada

J Wo quote the following from pee of the more recent editorials in The Afrl wlteriit TO te atrrionltainl oidt bwiM ttf scribed in our previous article or ui own very successful cooperative build big and loan associations might also es tablish brunches or agencies Thus one society could have a representative in every town or hamlet In a county or group of counties bringing Its advan tages homo to depositors and borrowers everywhere In thla way ovca in a sparsely settled forming country n cooperative banking society could got enough business to bo soundly success fut The agricultural credit banks described in tho editorial referred to en able tho honest poor to coopcrato in other matters Tho testimony of hun dreds of similar institutions in Europe shows beyond all question that these credit societies have encouraged co operation in nil its forms stimulated thrift and self help and improved tho wholo moral and material condition of their members Tho need ia certainly urgent for similar effort at self help in very many farming communities in this country ua well na among workers h other occupations In these times tho margin of profit ia eo close in tug OA in other business it la 1 moro necessary for farmers to bo fcb conduct their affairs with tho utmost economy for which capital at reasonable rates of Intent is an impera tire necessity Whatever opinions are entertained concerning the standard of values there should bo unanimity in Ra effort to perfect u sound plan of cooperative bank ing that will enable tanners to help themselves How great this need la can hardly bo exaggerated Taking tho United States u a whole wo doubt if onetenth of our farmers use banks or are within convenient roach of banking accommodation Without It they cannot employ credit in tho truo sense Yet ninetenths of tho volume of business I transacted by other people is done with credit inatrnmenta But tho avcrago farmer is able to use only tho credit of feted by tho crossroads store which milks him to tho tune of 15 to 40 per cent by taking his stuff in trade at far below market price charging big profits on what the farmer buys and on top of this exacting exorbitant interest No legitimate business can stand this sort of accommodation certainly not agriculture Tho evil exists whether prices are high or low currency plenty or scarce Tho deeper one delves into this matter the plainer it appears that whatever is done about monetary stand ants bettor banking accommodations that is bettor facilities for tho use of credit instruments such as checks drafts otcare vital to the farmers welfare Nor can ho need ho or will ho pay moro for those facilities than do those in other business A Good Kxample Tho action of the silver Eepnbllcana in deciding to snake tho money lassie
