suspended dividends were scompelled to reduce wages 10 per J cent That cut was keenly felt not by the laboring men alone but by all the country contiguous to the road 4 Better times have come and the business of the road has recovered somewhat from the injury inflicted t by the assaults of men in search of ah office The ip per cent reduc tion has been restored and a 3 percent dividend will be paid here after But it appears that here in Ken tucky there are men who believe they can yet win votes by attacks on the Louisville Nashville road We doubt the wisdom of this policy We doubt if Mr Goebel can make capital at this time by his assaults on this property The workingmen have had an object lesson which they are apt to take to heart They have steady employment and fair wages and they do not want a change The people served by this road arc the people among whom 50 percent of its receipts arc spent They do not want a change Mr Goebel is seconded by Mr Enloe the plan of their campaign seems to be to cuss the Louis ville Nashville road and to charge it with all their own woes due to their own errors Will it pay We think not Moreover we think think the people of the State arc getting tired of all these calamity promoters Times are better everywhere Money is abundant and it will soon be seek ing investm nt Do we not want it in Kentucky Do we not want more railroads Do we not want our halfbuilt cities cQmpleted Do we not want our millsand furnaces once mote to get to work We think we do We think the people of Kentuckydo not wish to be shut out of this new era of pros perity entirely In other words they are tired o Goebelism and all the word im plies POLITICAL POINTS Prof M A Cassidy of Lexing ton has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for State Superintendent of public schools The Lexington Herald says of Prof Cassidy He is broad minded and free from provincialism with a keen analytical mind and unbounded energy In the prime of a vigorous manhood he is capable of vast labor and devotes himself assiduously to the discharge of every duty Imposed npon him by the exigencies and responsibilities of life ExCongressman W j btone I of Kuttawa

test against Hon G G Gilbert for a seat in the Fiftysixth Con gress Perhaps Mr Tillman the Sen ator from Aguinaldo might be re conciled to the treaty by giving him the dispensary privileges of the PhilippinesCourierJournalGoebel Walter Forrester in the Free Press The race of William Goebel for the Democratic nomination for Governor is exceedingly interest lug It shows to the public that he is the shrewdest political man ipulator in Kentucky In the short time since the race started Goebel has got control of four newspapers in Louisville as follows the Gold bug CourierJournal the Mugwump Times the Republican Commercial and the Commercials daddyless off spring the neutral News Besides these Goebel has National Committeeman Uriah Woodson and his free silverorbust iGtoi paper the Owensboro Messenger When itjjs recalled that Goebel in 1895 was a goldbug and the sup porter and political protege of the Hon John G Carlisle and that it was not until the Legislature met in January 96 that silverites knew whether Goebel would support Jo Blackburn or go with Tony Carrol and the other CourierJournal crowd and that Goebel has all along is now and shall always be the close political and personal friend of Bill Haldemanin view of all the adverse criticisms the student of politics must admire the nerve of the Kenton county candi date in vociferously announcing that he wouldnt have a nomination on any but the Chicago platform with a declaration in favor of the damnation of the CourierJournal and all the corporations that wont help him to the nomination An Original Oath of

us that we shall see signs and wonders and that prediction is verified right here in our city Upon the front door of our clever grocer W C Mc Ltod hangs a sign mellowed with age and faded with time which sets forth the fact that the pro prietor has for sale a a nice lot of Now the wonder with willfand will they ever during the cycles of time attain hoghood and it strikes usf that the proper course for McLeod is to either admit that he has discovered the secret of perpetual swine youth or he should modify that sign by stating that the pigs have long since at tained senile age or better still iausageA a a days since a change was made in train schedule and the fast train due here at 1030 was discontinued the other passenger train due at 1130 remainedabout the same Now J M Oldham the carriage man had got used to the two trains and made it a rule to start for dinner upon the arrival of the second train and knew noth ing of the schedule change so he worked patiently until the arrival of the tram at 1130 then he began to look forward with great solicitude for the second tram With leaden feet the hours crawled slowly by until 2 oclock He could stand it no longer and went home I was waiting he explained to his wife for the second tram to come in That train due At 1030 has been discontinued said the good wife Hedid not swear but the people living on the opposite side of the street heard him do some mighty audible thinking Since then he pays no attention whatever to the arrival and depart ure of trains but goes to dinner whenever he feels hungry He says a well trained stomach beats a well trained railway for making close connection with the dinner table a k If some publicspirited man does not sneak into John Peytons back porch and steal said Peytons thermometer that lying instrument will compass its owners death It is one of those known as a spirit thermometer that is the long glass tube is partly filled with spirits of wine instead of mercury Now Book the Christians walk by Itells us that Wine is a mocker and it follows as a sequence that a little of it enclosed in a glass tube and called a thermometer is a hol low mockery Peytons instrument is graduated in degrees reaching from 40 below zero to the boiling point at 212 it is also graduated in all the degrees of lying from simple fiction to the superlative degree of Ananias It is contrarier than an old maid who is so perverse that she wont do as she pleases When the weather is as cold as a back slider at a prayer meeting that fool thermometer favors expansion and shows a degree of warmth suit able for the glorious day of Inde pendence and Peyton who be lieves in the lying contrapition with a faith that exceeds Abrahams will sally out to work with hardly enough of clothing to keep a foot ball player warm whilst everyone else is wrapped in great coats and gloves and muffs and their teeth chattering like castanets and no argument nor logic can persuade him that it is not as cold as Green land And just as soon as the weather takes on a fever heat that thermometer will take the studs and will gc backward like a craw fish until it shows cold enough for the Polar regions then Peyton will go about business clad like a Lap lander whilst every one else has discarded overcoats and is quite comfortable During all the long continued cold weather it has never backed down below summer heat and Peyton would resent to theshedding of blood any reflection upon its veracity And he proves his faith by his works for he hardly allows his family fire enough to maintain life and proves by the thermometer that it is not cold His neighbors say if the present cold spell continues a week longer that unless the instrument is packed in ice it will boil over the top but Peyton says they are jealous because they have got nothing like it and so it goes Moscow Croft asked the man of nags Wednesday morning how the thermometer stood We told him three below zero He said was the coldest weather we had had this winter The critter man assured him that a wetkr so since the mercury registered fourteen below He said outright that he did not believe it The hoss editor pointed out to him that the Bible says that He that believeth not shall be damned That is just what troubles me said he with an impudent look at the man of nags for it says plainly that I can believe a lie and be damned Which proves con clusively said the critter man that you would do well to swap chances with a tick in a bucket of hot tar True said heiforthen I would not be called upon to believe the Ananias weather reports of my neighbors There is such a thing said the nag man ashe retreatedas casting pearls be fore an unappreciative audience and to this hour he can see no es cape for his unbelieving neighbor

been invited to address you this evening I will say that I would prohibit the sale of any article or commodity which is the product of convict or prison labor whether manufactured here or elsewhere Good roads and clean streets are vital questions which engross the at tention of our citizens It occurs to mo that the building of good roads by prison labor will solve and put to rest many of these disturbing questions DOWN IN THE MINES Relief Work at South Diamond In speaking with Mr F B Harris Superintendent of the Si Bernardmines at Morions Gap In reference to the unusual departure made by running that mine part of the day last Sunday in order to try to supply the necessities of the people in towns without coal he spoke in highest terms of the ready part taken by the Mor tons Gap miners Mr Harris said On last Saturday afternoon Mr J B Advice to- Consumptives ii I There are three great reme dies that every person with weak lungs or with consump tion itself should understand i These

L Atkinson called me to the telephone and told me that he would like for me to run the mines half day Sunday that he might supply some of the met tering people with coal Knowing that my men were always ready for an emer gency I at once told him that lie could rest assured that we would do our part I started ont to see the men and told them tt ws not a matter of dollars and cents but a matter of charity Notwithstanding my men were worked down they took In the situation at once and when the whistle blew for work on Sunday morning the men came pouring in from every quarter as cheerful as though they bad been resting for a week and the result was at twelve oclock wa had nine cars of coal loaded for the poor sufferers t mutt say that a set of better working men does not exist than we have at South Diamond Miners of England have devised a scheme of pensions which aims at giving every miner who has attained the age of sixty and is unfitted for further work a pension of 1250 a week for life Further any mIner who shall become incapacitated for further work owing to an accident while following hIs employment shall be entitled lo the same sum per week for life Lastly every widow who shall have lost her husband owing to a mine accident Is to be paid the same relief A slight extra allowance Is made for each child In the family The money is to be raised by a duty of 2 cents upon every ton of coal raised per year Mr Teller favors the retention of the Philippines In a recent speech he dwelt upon the reports ol vast coal deposits in the Philippines and said they were invaluable on this account to any na lIon for in the future the country which controlled the coal deposits of the world would dominate the other nations both from a commercial and military point of viewAt present the United States Great Britain and Japan control the principal coal supplies and be predicted that so long as they continued to control them and were friendly with one soother they would hold the reins of power Other European nations appreciate the Importance of the coal supply and ibis fact more than any other accounted for the anxiety of Russia and Germany to get a foothold In the Phil ippines Russia was he said especially grasping and it behooved this country to be on its guard against the encroachments of that power In conclusion Mr Teller referred to his antagonism to the administration say ing that he expected to the party in power In the next campaign but strongly as be felt on the question which separated him from the party he was nevertheless willing to sink party questions and subord mate partisan advantage to what he be lieved to be a much broader view a pa triotic rather than a partisan view Even coat thieves will sometimes fall out and fight as was shown last Sunday at Cedar Hill Tenn the writer hearing some angry conversation going on where threats to take life were being made Inquiries as to cause were made and resulted in finding that one of the parties had that morning laid in a bounteous supply of coal from a passing train without the consent or knowledge of the train crew which fact came to toe ear of the other party In the controversy who took It upon himself to conceal the coal hence the warof words The cold weather seems to be general throughout the country and so unlocked for that no precautions were taken by the consumers of coal to guard against the con sequence of such an unprecedented cold spell that much suffering has resulted Yet there is some sweet among the bitter things of this life and in this case the miner and operator take sugar In theirs A shipper ut coke to Mexico who Is known far and near for his sound money views says while be Is not hankering after Mexican free silver dollars be would trade coke for them Ion for ton The extreme cold weather of the past week somewhat demoralized the working forces at the mines So cold was last Wednesday morning that the men on the tip werexompelled be relieved from duty resulting in a decreased output of coal compared with that of the previous week The St Bernard Coal Company now has on hand a new fiftyIon scale to be put in at the Arnold mine Jasper McGregor who has been confined to his home with the grip Is again able for work in the mines For the first time in the history of the mine if we make no mistake the mining force of the NO9 mine was called upon to work last Sunday the cause being a piteous cry from the consumers who were suffer ing for want of fuel It was plainly a case of taking the ox out of the pit on the Sab bath and an act perfectly justifiable from a Christian standpoint Wonder if some ot the coal operators and miners of America will not be found among those who are willing jo use both money and muscle toward the development of coal fields in the Philippine Islands since the word has come that there are coal veins in that region thirty feet thick and of excellent quality The committee of arbitration that has been called upon to settle the difference between miner and operator at Mt Vernon III on the question of wages has decided that owing to competition and freight rates the present price of mining is all that can be paid if the opeattors receive a sufficient profit lo enable them to continue to oper ate mines According to statistics for 1897 there were 120382 miners out of which number 88341 were working down In the mines Out of these there were 87 women and girls between the ages of sixteen and twentyone years Five hundred and fortynine women and girls over twenty one years old Four thousand two hundred and twenty three boys between four teen ann sixteen years and 1804 chit dren between twelve and fourteen years of age This weare told fslna land where the clergy are the politicians and

day waft to thorn their national banner and it was not well for anyone who would daro break their laws concerning It Gods Sabbaths and feasts which Ho Instituted had bo como tho Jews Sabbaths nnd feasts and Instead of observing Ills laws concerning them they had multiplied traditions ol their own thus making tho commandment of God of none effect by their tradition Math xv 3 0 18 Therefore tho Jews sought tho more to kill Him because Ho not only had broken tho Sabbath but said also that God was Ills Father making Hlmsell equal with God On another occasion they worn going to stono Him because ta they said Ho being a man made Himself God John x 33 What spectacle Is this tho Creator hated by tho creature sUe klers for tho Sabbath dny socking to kill tho Lord of the Sabbath I Yet such Is re ligion that is not of God 10 Then answered Jesus and said un to them Verily verily I say unto you Tho Son can do nothing of Himself but what Ho sooth tho Father do for what things soever Ho

In yard It refers to laborers rather than to idlers because tho idlers became Ia borers tho moment they had tho oppory tunlty The parablo is difficult planation both bocanso it is unnatural gjusticeever has no injustice 1 This parable contains a lesson for workers The story is unique A householder employs laborers at differenti hours of the day and when work is done he pays all the same wages The first corners complain Let ho silences them by telling them that ho has paid thorn all that ho promised to pay them had that he had a right to do what ho pleased with his own WithI out going into details the point of the parable lies in this fact the first laborers had boon hired for pay they had made a contract to work EO long a time for so much wages and they received three wages The later laborers were told to go to work and what was right they would bo paid They did so trusting to the generosity of the householder and they were not disappointed The occasion of tho parablo proves this in terpretatlon of it to be correct It was spoken in answer to Peters question What shnllVo have for having left all to follow Christ Ho tells them that they shall be amply repaid but at the samo time warns them against working only for hire There aro two classes of Christian workers those who labor for reward and those who labor for love to tho Master willing to leavo tho ques tion of reward entirely in His hands It is evident to all that thu latter will re calve tho better reward To men they may not scum to do as much as those who work for wages but God judges not so much by the apparent amount otI work done as by tho motive back of it With God at least tho motive determines tho reward Every laborer will bo rewarded for work done hut bo is most and best rewarded who without thought of toward unselfishly gives his life to Christ out of gratitude and lovo to Christ for His love and sacrifice 2 This parable contains a lesson for idlers No premium Is placed upon idle nets in this parable Tho idlo went to work as soon as thoyliad the opportunity to do so There is no intimation hero that wo may put off till late in lifo serv leo for Christ and then bo rewarded as fully as those who consecrate themselves to Christ at an early age The periods at which the different laborers wore hired cnn have nothing at all to do vlthI the different periods in a mans life Opportunity the only timo factor to bo considered The actions of these la borers in seizing tim first opportunity for service and their subsequent toward should bo an example and inspira tion to us to redeem tho timo to per form faithfully each duty to Christ that opportunity places before us Bible Readings Math ziz 1030 j zxv 1440 xxvi 018 John Ix 4 Rom xii 1 2 11 I Ocr x 81 xv 58 Gal vi 0 Eph v 1518 vi 60 Pull ii

the riv ers bcgtom ho began to walk toward the shore struggling for his life Stop after step ho advanced nearing tho point of safety till at length just whore ono stop moro ould have brought his head obovo water his feet stuck fast in tho mire and ho was drowned and there bolt upright within a single step of deliverance ho was found by the neighbors almost saved but altogether lost Such is the position of the almost Christian almost saved but altogether lost American Friend There is n success bound up in every noblo effort Tho hour of triumph may be far distant but in tho sight of God It Is here already Presbyterian Jour emilIi 01 I Free College Training for Cubans Two hundred and seventyfive of our colleges and institutions of learning have pledged themselves o give free instruction to such young Cubans as are sent them One proviso only is made The oung men when educated must return to their own country andt ive to their native land the bene of those advantages which they have enjoyed among us MajorGeneral Joseph Wheeler s said to have originated the plan and he is president ot the associa tion which has undertaken to putI it into execution General Kitch ener says Harpers Baiar asked nothing of his country in return for his conquests but the money to found a college at Khartum in memory of General Gordon whose name must always be associated with that country for which he died Quite as noble in its inception is General Wheelers idea Both prove the nobility of noble minds and the dominance in them of that AngloSaxon principle which in its colonial system works always for the benefit ol the conquered The young Cubans who offer themselves as candidates must of necessity have had a preparatory course and they must pledge them selves to remain until their college course is ended Two persons not relative must attest to their good moral character Though their tuition and their lodgings arc to be given them these students must each possess at least twelve dollars a month for food To this they can hardly ob ject Indeed one can hardly help fancying that it makes the offer all the more agreeable The little touch of independence given by an ability to pay ones board must be dear to their hearts as independence is dear to the hearts of even those who are full to the brim of gratitude A Car of Oranges- A carload of oranges was taken in out ot the cold here

Feb 6 1899 r To the Officials Physicians and People of Kentucky Smallpox has been epidemic In the rain log regions of Alabama for the past two years and from this center of Infection directly or indirectly repeated serious and expansive outbreaks have occurred in Ken Kecently about forty cases bave developed In Louisville one at Covington one at Nicholasville sod several suspicions cases are reported la a mining section in Ohio county The disease also exists in Cincin nati Indianapolis and St Louis which have constant railroad connection with many Kentucky towns So far the disease his been almost exclusively confined to Ihe negroes a large part of this race bting un protected by vaccination but this exemp lion of whites cannot long be hoped for if It continue to spread as nearly a third ol the white people of this State ars abo un protectedUnder those circumstances it Is the doty ot this Board to warn our officials and people of the necessity of prompt action to prevent serious local outbreaks Fortunately the prevention of this disease is ascertain and safe as it is cheap and easy Vaccination and revaccination properly done with reliable virus Is a sure prevent- Ive and Is entirely free from danger It should always be done by a competent physician with clean bands and Instru meats an inch apart em a well cleaned arm should be allowed to dry thoroughly before the sleeve is drawn down and should be carefully protected from rubbing or other Injury until the sore has entirely healed The Board advises that each city and town at once pass and enforce a compul sory vaccination ordinance beginning with the colored race but reaching everybody thai an Isolation hospital and suitable grounds forits location be secured in ad vance that visiting and strange negroes be hunted Out vaccinnated and kept under obserration and especially that physicians practicing among negroes be advised as to the difficulty of recognizing mild cases of smallpox in this race and of the Import everydoubtful Had Madison Dell Knox Wbllley Laurel and Jackson counties takes these precautions when advised to do so last year thousands of dollars would have beta saved In actual outlay to say nothing of the far greater loss from Interference with traffic and travel Under our laws this expense must be met by the counties and cities affected and It can only be avoided or made light by proper preparation befno a case appearsQuarantines against places infected with smallpox the first resort of unprepared communities da much hum la retarding the real work to be done and if rigidly enforced are much more expensive than the simple precautions advised by sanitar Sans everywhere No such quarantine can be establish legally without tb consent of this hoard and this consent will not be given unless tbe circumstances are very ex ceptional Fresh and reliable virus may always be had from the Henry Drug Co Louisville Vaccination from the arm of a child known to be healthy is equally reliable This Board holds Itself in readiness to aid local boards to the full extent of Its powers but little outside aid will be needed if each community will Intelligently prepare to like care of itself By order of the Board 1 M MATTIIEWJ MD J N McCoRMtcK M D President Secretary RVERY11WAURE I Mural Ullled commiaIooed by the GOTarD VprtlICnLt San Francisco on the Piclfie with Ueneral Ms r
