The enemies of the Goebel bill havebeen trying to cast a slur upon theelection commissioners for signifyingtheir willingness to serve, says theBlue Grus Clippor. But in this theyare making a dismal failure.

Rev Da Young's plan colonizingCuba with the negro race, is given inanother column, ltisauableand inter-esting document, and attracted muchattention when it appeared in the Cin-cinnati Post. It seems that he is notalone in advocacy of the plan, thoughthe pioneer of the movement at thistime. Herewith is the substance ofan interview with General John T.Wilder, Pension Agent at Knoxville,Tenn., and a wellknown Federal Gen-eral in the late war. He says, in aspecial to the Louisville Times, ofSaturday last: "Gen. John T. Wilder,Pension Agent here, and- - a well-know- n

Federal General in the late war, saysthat Spain's act in sendiug a torpedoflotilla to Porto Rico is overt, ami thefleet should ho met and destroyed. Hethinks war is inevitable and favors theraising of 100.000 negro troops in theSouth, putting them under commandof Gen Fitzhugh Lee, with which tocapture Cuba. After such capture iselfected the island, he thinks, shouldbe turned over to the negroes."

We cordially endorse every word ofthis wise anil timely advice to theDemocrats of this District. It is fromour esteemed neighbor, the JessamineJournal:

"At times there is too much san-guini- ty

displayed bv the Democratsand this one reason lias several timescaused the defeat of the party in dif-ferent portions of Kentucky. "lint it isto be hoped this will not "be the caseregarding the congressional race inthe Eighth district this fall. Twoyears ago the Democrats were sanguineof success and lost the district by 0.

This year there is every indica-tion that the Democrats should win,not only from the fact that Jacksoncounty has been removed from the di-strictbut there isa better feehngin theparty now than then. Let no wranglebe gotten up between the diHerentcandidates, but let the strongest manbe selected, that the party feeling maybe harmonious and tho Democraticmajority made larger in Novemberthan that which was given Davisonin 18SG."

Good for the Midway Clipper! Hereis the way it hoists the LexingtouArgonaut on its own petard :

'If some of the so-call-ed Democraticjournals of Kentucky would push alittle more consistency and less viru-lence into their editorials the publicwould respect them mora. On morethan one occasion in the last twoyears have the columns of one of theabove journals, located at Lexington,fairly teemed with denunciations ofand charges agninst the County Judgeof Favette for attempting to intimidatethe citizens and stifle the voice of thepeople by placing the polls in chargeof men who would, if necessary, re-

verse the will of the people after ithad already been expressed, and nowthat paper is sorely distressed abouttho election law and utterly indignantthat Judge Pryor and Capt. Will El-lis should have been eo grossly in-sulted aj they were by an election tothe Commissioner-ships- . By thus ex-posing your hand gentlemen you butstrengthen our arm, so dig into yourvitals as deep as you please."

Congkessman Towxe has been do-ing splendid work in California speak-ing for the cause of silver. Recentlyin Stockton thcedilorolthe Independ-ent propounded that old musty co-nundrum about the price of wheat,when Towne publicly asked liim thefollowing questions:

1. Do you believe in the "dollar ofthe greatest purchasing power?"

2. Are you glad that in 1897 certainAmerican farmers got a higher pricefor their wheat than for some yearspast V

3. If you say to the last ques-tion, explain why "you are glad thatthe dollar hasless "puchasing power,"as reckoned In wheat, than before?

4. If it was a good thing that thefarmer got a higher price for his wheatwould it not have been still better ifhe could have got higher prices forhay, his cotton, his fruit, and all hisproducts?

5. If higher prices for the farmerwould be good, why not also for theother producers.

Tho formal announcement of Mr.McCreary s candidacy for Congressin this district has caused quite a stirin political circles. This State hasnover beet served in any capacity bya more conscientious and efficientoflicial, and his abilities have beenrecognized at home as well as abroad.While representing his district in Con-gress, he stood high with the adminis-tration, whether it happened to beDemocratic or Republican. Ho isknown to all to have been n tirelessworker, aiid never overlooked a matter simply because it belonged towhat might bo classed as the littlethings. He nover allowed an oppor-tunity to Joass vhen he might be ofservice to uny of his constituents, andno one ever asked a favor that wasnot ready and willingly granted. Tak-ing these thingii into consideration,together with the fact that ho hasnever been a man to skulk in his tentbut has nlvaye stood by his party intimes when it needed assistance, it isnot to be wondered that he will makea strong candidate beforo the people.Few men Lave served tho public aslong as ho has, wjth so clean a record.Tho Republicans view with alarm hisannouncement, for they know, withMcCreary an the Democratic nominee,no Republicans need appIy-Ander- son

News.In this issue of tho Sentinel, Hon.

Jas. B. McCreary formally announceshimself a candidate for the Democraticnomination for Representative in Con-

gress, from this district.Mr. McCreary is too well known

throughout the district to require anyintroduction from us. Elected to theKentucky House in 18G9, he served forthree terms, during tho last two ofwhich he wat. Speaker. In May 1875he was nominated forGovernorof Kentucky and elected by an overwhelmingmajority, his term of office expiring inlSia. in ibs-- i ne receiveu tne nomina-tion for Coneress after the hottestcontestthis district has over known inrecent years and was elected by alarge majority He was foreach succeeding term until 1890, whenhe voluntarily retired and the district,which had always given him largomajorities, piled up a plurality of 2 400for the Republican nominee, Hon.Geo. M. Davison.

During his long service Mr. Mc-Crea- rv

was a faithful public servant,always keenly alive to the interests ofhis constituents, and from the outsetheld a prominent position in theHouse, serving when the Democratswere in control ns Chairman of theCommittee on Foreign Ailairs. Whenthe President came to appoint theMonetary Commission Mr. McCrearywas one of the three men selected andhe served with distinguished ability.

Mr. McCreary unquestionably has astrong hold on the people in this dis-trict and his formal entrance in therace promises to make it a memorableone. Shelby Sentinel.

In this issue will bo found the an-

nouncement ol Hon. Jas. B. McCrearyfor Congress from this district. Nouecan question the fact that Mr. Mc-Crear-

past services in Congressdemonstrated his utelulness. his in-

defatigable zeal for business and acredi table degree of abilit- - that foundexpres-io- n in the form of practicallegislation. He was a clean, active,capable member of Congress in thepant and there is no reason to con-

clude he would be otherwise in thefuture. Harrodsburg Democrat.

The announcement, of Hon. JamesB. McCreary, for the Democratic nom-ination for Congress in this district,published in this issue, is a source ofproud satisfaction to his many warmt'iends in this country. Having ledthe Deinocretic part to victory so oft-en, he is looked upon, by many, as apolitical necessity a Moses to leadthe Democrats out of the wildernessinto which they were led in 1S9G. Hisrepeated victories have caused him tobo named the political Napoleon, audthe comparison is good, excepting thefact that he has never seen a Water-loo, and his friends claim that he willnot be defeated if nominated thistime. His olllcial career, as modelGovernor and Congressman, for sever-al terms, has made for him a host ofadmirers, who point with pride to hisrecord and claim that he is the onlyman that can redeem the Eighth Dis-

trict to their party. They claim thathis long public service is without justgrounds for criticism, that his viewsand course, on all issued, were alwayson tho side of the people and had inview the general welfar?, and that hisable work against high protective tariifand fatted corporations should bo con-sidered by the party, when nomina-tions are in order.

How far these claims will go towardsecuring the nomination remains to beseen, as there are several other candi-dates in the field, 4io claim recogni-tion at the hands of the Democraticparty. Of course each county will beexpected to instruct fonts home man,and the candidate wboctn hold on andcontrol the votes after others are drop-ped, will win. Central Record.

When the Courier-Journ- al findsspace to say that Daviscn is losing nosleep over Gov. McCreary 's announce-ment and that ho thinks the Governorthe easiest man beaten, it shows twotilings; that it is anxious for some-thing to fill up and to say somethingagainst McCreary, no matter how dis-reputable the source of the inspiration.

Stanford Journal.McCkeaky's can-

didacy for Congress in the Eighth dis-trict is regarded with approbation byDemocrats in this city and county.Mr. McCreary dilfered from many Dem-ocrats on the money question, butwhen the bugle sounded for the line-u-p

he stepped right under the old partyflag. D will bo a winner. Lexing-ton Observer.

Gov McCkeaky's announcement asa candidate for Democratic nomination for Congress makes tho papersgenerally says it is McCreary againstthe field. He has made one of themost efllcicnt Congressmen Kentuckyever had. Paris Kentuckinn.

There are many good and deservingDemocrats in the Eighth, but in thelong list there is no name that wouldarouse more enthusiasm than that ofJames B McCreary. He is an able andskilled politician who never knows howto tire or be defeated, and if he winsthe nomination the small calbered re-publican statesmen of that district maystart in with the idea of having the bestpolitician and the most invinciblestumper and hand-shak- er in the Stateto contend with. McCieary's nomina-tion would mean McCreary 's election.

wearing a smile intended to van-quish all argument and act as a pass-word to the beautiful city. Of courseSt. Peter let her in.

Change in tho School Law.

One of the few laws which were passd by tho recent Legislature and which

havo received the approval of the Gov-

ernor is one to change the litne for theelection of Trustees for common schoolsfrom June to October. We have notseen a copy of the bill and do not knowwhether or not it contains"an emer-gency clause. All bills ojtfie later char-acter go into effect as soon as approvedby the Governor. All others go intoelfect in ninety days after the Legisla-ture adjournes The late Legislatureadjourned March 15th and these laws gointo effect June 15th. According to thepresent law Trustees are elected on thefirst Saturday in June, which this yearcomes on the fourth of the month.Hence the election will bo over beforethe law goes into effect. Another ques-tion is will there be an election both inJune aud October. A few years ago alaw was passed changing the time forholding the Spring examinations fromthe first to the third Fridays in cortainmonths. As in this case one set of ex-aminations were held before the lawwent into effect and another set washeld under the new law in the samemonth.

The new law is a good one. As thelaw now stands tho Trustee is electedjust before the teacher is employed andtoo often the question of his fitnessdoes not enter into the canvass but heis elected solely on the question as towhether he will support --this or thatteacher for the fall school. The new-la-

will chango this. The school willhe halt out or more when the Trustee iselected in the fall and the next year'sschool will be so far away that theteacher question will not cut so import-ant a figure. Winchester Democrat.

WHO IS SHE?

Danville Woman Who Wants to Sell Herself.

The following mysterious advertise-ment recently appeared in the Louis-ville Courier-Journal- :

Wanted By a refined, competentmiddle-age- d widow, to sell herself intoslavery for life to some good man andwife, elderly couple, or widow, formoney enough to purchase comforta-ble home for her talented and beauti-ful children; will serve faithfully andendeavor to make myself invaluable,always striving to please. Address P.O. Box 93, Danville, Ky.

An Advodate reporter has bad acopy of the advertisement since its ap-pearance, quietly awaiting develop-ment, but so far nothing has beenlearned of the identity of the myste-rious widow.

It is useless to apply at the post-offic- e

for the name of the renter of Box i)3.The folks there cannot tell. The lawsnot only forbid it, but when this boxwag rented especial instruction weregiven to keep it secret. In fact, the'person" man or woman who rent-

ed the box was acting for some oneeLo. fthd even the post-ofli- ce people donot know who Mrs. Box No. 93 is.

The Advocate reporter believes thatthe woman lives In the country.Further than that he lias no theories.There are several widows in Danvilleand Boyle county with "beautiful andtalented children." and this interestingsource of lively gossip will no doubtproye more or less embarrassing tosome of them.

There seems to be no doubt that thewoman is in earnest aud that thewhole affair is genuine. Danville Ad-vocate.

Born In Madison, Gov. Portrr Celebrates Mis

Golden Weding In Versailles.

A telegram to the Louisville Poslfrom Versailles, March 1(5, conveysthis bit of news, of interest lo tho olderie8idents of Madiwin, among whomthe distinguished groomsman hasmany friends:

"Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Porter areholding a reception this afternoon incelebration of their golden weddintranniversary. Mr. Torler is a native ofMadison county, nnd has been practic-ing law in Versailles since 1812, Mrs.Porter was born in Woodford, nearVersailles,

Few men in the legal profession inthis State have ranked hicher thanMr. Porter, who for years enjoyed oneof the most lucrative practices ever hadby acountrv lawyer. JUr. I'.irter wasSpeaker of tho Kentucky Senate dur-ing the war, and by virtue of hisoffice succeeded tho Hon Lynn Boydas Lieutenant Governor after the Iat- -

ter's death."A General Order for Vaccination.

Dr. J. M. Mathews, president and J.N. McCormack. secretary of the stateboard of health, finding their warningto tho people of the state to be vacci-nated in part unheeded, have again is-

sued notice calling attention to thethreatened epidemic of small-po- x andrecommending that each town and cityat once pass and enforce a compulsoryvaccination ordinance, beginning withthe colored race, but reaching every-body.

From reports received from the in-

fected districts the disease thus far hasbeen confined almost exclusivelyto tho negroes Tho board recom-mends that physicians practicingamong negroes be instructed as to thedifficulty of recognizing mild cases ofsmall-po- x and varioloid in the raco andof tho importance of calling in ex-perienced counsel in every doubtfulor suspicious case.

The officials of the state board arc ofthe opinion that tho entire popnlationof the state not already vaccinated aredangerously liable to contract the dis- -easo unless they are vaccinated.Cuba For The Negroes Plan of Rev. G. W.

Young, of This City.

Tho following able and interestingarticle appeared in the CincinnatiPost of March 24, in response to a re-quest fiom its editor, who had heardof Dr. Young's views upon the subject of "Cuba For The Negro." ThoDoctor upholds his views with logicand argument incontestible, and theplan proposed is worthy the considerution of all. It is not, as would be atfirst supposed, a riddance of the negro,but a most humane method of improv-ing his condition.

Richmond, Ky., March 24.To the Editor of The Post:

The suggestion recently made by meto a friend m regard to the acquire-ment of the island of Cuba by theUnited States and setting it apart forhomestead settlement by tho coloredpeople of America is one to which Ihave given considerable thought.

Tho idea of the annexation of Cubais not new. As far back as the Ad-ministration of President Polk an oilerof $100,000,000 was made by ns andproudly rejected by Spain, and onvarious occa&ions since then its ac-

quitment, either by conquest or pur-chase, has been seriously considered.It has long been apparent to many ofour statesmen that the responsibilityfor tho destiny of the island musteventually rest upon this country.

SPURNS PURCHASE NOW.Prior to the present trouble growing

out of tho Maine disasterl should havofavored its acquirement by purchase,but as matters now stand I shouldsnurn the idea of purchase from a peo-ple over whom there hangs, like a pail,the shadow of a great crime. It isfarcical in the extreme for us to prateof a Monroe doctrine, on paper, andthen proose to deal on equal termswith a poplo before whose horrid out-rages the whole world stands aghast.

We should, therefore, take poses-sio- n

of the island as humanelv as wemaj, purchase the lands of private in-dividuals, divide it into small tracts,say of 40 acres each, and oner it to thecolored people of America, under titlesinalienable, for 25 years, on conditionof five years' personal residence there-on, and the making of improvementsto be specified by law.

HUMANE METHOD.This seems to me to be the most hu-

mane method of settling tho quarrel ofa century with Spain, and of endingthe brutalities that have disgraced theSpanish administration in tho island.

And then it would be a safe policyfor this country, for whatever ourprejudices, against conquest, the timehas come when this Nation must forti-fy herself by strategic possessionsabroad, if she would be safe from for-ei- gh

harrassment and invasion.A problem equally difficult of solu-

tion, and of more immediate interestto us, is the race problem in tho UnitedStates. There are thousands of col-ored citizens of this country who werenover able to acquire homesteads inthe great West, for the reason that itwas all settled before they had beenlong enough free to avail" themselvesof it. The Alaska climate is too coldfor them; the Indian Territory, whenopen for settlement, oners no poss-ibility of success to them. To theSouthern white man this question isvital. The Southern country homo isfast fading into a memory.

jikcome vicious.Tho negroes crowd into tho towns;

unable to pay large rent, they areforced to live in miserable tenements,where in poverty and filth thev becomea menace to the public health. Beingidle, thev become vicious; tueymonopolize tho attention of our municipaland criminal courts to the neglect ofthe public business, they overcrowdour prisons, they become an easyprey to the political demagogue, audthus endangor our physical, socialcivil and religious life.

A fatal mistake in the solution ofthe race problem in this country hasbeen the idea that education was theone thing necessary Millions of moneyhas been expended in schools and ap- -

Many Southern negroes haveeen liberally educated, but this has

insured no lucrative employment, saveteaching among their own race, andthis vocation is becoming more andmore crowded; hence, education is be-ing discouaged.

CROWDED OUT.

The building of factories will m tsolve it. They are not skilled work-men, and if they were, organized labor win not admit tnem to a place intheir ranks. Successful agriculture isequally beyond their reach.

The invention of machinerv hasthrown thousands out of employment,ana tne tenant, mrmor lsinanopelesscompetition with the broad acres andimproved methods of the land-owner- s.

What shall be done? While they arehere the land of the country mustsup-po- rt

the population of the country Inono way or another. Every man musthave a living not necessarily a goodono but a living.

AS A HIRED HAND.He must earn it as a hired hand,

have it given to him as a charitv, or,whatisinfinitelv better, given him anopportunity to dig itoutof thegrouncl.This we have shown he can not do
