John Boyd, commanding the Kentucky division of the Confederate veteran Association, announces the an- nual meeting for the election of oillcers and the trancaction of other important business to be held April 2nd at the Court-hous- e, Lexington, and appeals to the members ot the association to at- tend. A number of comrades will de- liver stirring addresses and all the time will be pleasantly employed There can be but few more" of the meetings of the gallant old fellows and they ought to mako special effort to make this one memorable. The enemies of the Goebel bill have been trying to cast a slur upon the election commissioners for signifying their willingness to serve, says the Blue Grus Clippor. But in this they are making a dismal failure. The Courier-Journ- al and its followers in the State were confident that when Judgo Pryor and Messis Ellis and Poyntz were elected they would throw uptheir hands in horror and refuse to act. In this they have met a terrible disappointment." The last prop has been swept from under them and they have no more thunder with which to fight the measure. The following solution of the hard times was handed to us by one of our citizens, he having clipped it from an exchange; because ''We raise dogs and buy hogs. We catch live-ce- nt fish with five dollar rods. Wc raise w eeds and buy vegeta- bles. We let our timber rot'and buy fencing. We throw away onr ashes aud grease and buy soap. AVe build school houses aud send our children off to be educated. We send our bos out with a forty-doll- ar gun and a ten-doll- ar dog to hunt ten-ce- nt birds, and our 'live-ce- nt boys' smoke ten-ce- cigars. We buv cheap books and are compelled to have them In last Sunday's Dispatch a promi- nent railroart otiicial is reported to have undergone a change of convic tion on the money question, and is quoted as saying that in 189(5 he was a red-h- ot MeKinlevite. but that lie had been convinced that the free of silver is right, and that William lenning Bryan would be n winner, could he run to-da- y instead of a year and a half ago, and then went on to sav that his road employed 3,800 men, only two of whom voted for Bryan, but it we were to have the election over again, fully 3.79S of that 3.S0O would vote the straight Democratic ticket. "This is no idle talk," said he. "1 ran tell you there have been many reformations since the last national cam paign." The right of Courts to exclude the general public from a trial because of the aosence or indecent character of the evidence expected was lately treat-- e 1 in an opinion handed down by Jus- tice Tifus. of the New York Supreme Court, in the case of the People against Win. II Hall. Uall was tr.ed in Rochester for extortion, aud the Countv Judge shut out the news- paper reporters aud every one but the witnesses, holding that the public good required that this be done on ac- count of the disgusting and revolting nature of the testimony. An application was made to Justice Titus for a certification of reasonable doubt of the guilt of Hall, the argu- ment being made that he had been denied his constitutional right to "a speedy aud public trial." Justice Titus granted the certificate Rev Da Young's plan colonizing Cuba with the negro race, is given in another column, ltisauableand inter- esting document, and attracted much attention when it appeared in the Cin- cinnati Post. It seems that he is not alone in advocacy of the plan, though the pioneer of the movement at this time. Herewith is the substance of an interview with General John T. Wilder, Pension Agent at Knoxville, Tenn., and a wellknown Federal Gen- eral in the late war. He says, in a special to the Louisville Times, of Saturday last: "Gen. John T. Wilder, Pension Agent here, and- - a well-know- n Federal General in the late war, says that Spain's act in sendiug a torpedo flotilla to Porto Rico is overt, ami the fleet should ho met and destroyed. He thinks war is inevitable and favors the raising of 100.000 negro troops in the South, putting them under command of Gen Fitzhugh Lee, with which to capture Cuba. After such capture is elfected the island, he thinks, should be turned over to the negroes." We cordially endorse every word of this wise anil timely advice to the Democrats of this District. It is from our esteemed neighbor, the Jessamine Journal: "At times there is too much san-guini- ty displayed bv the Democrats and this one reason lias several times caused the defeat of the party in dif- ferent portions of Kentucky. "lint it is to be hoped this will not "be the case regarding the congressional race in the Eighth district this fall. Two years ago the Democrats were sanguine of 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 Jackson county has been removed from the di- strictbut there isa better feehngin the party now than then. Let no wrangle be gotten up between the diHerent candidates, but let the strongest man be selected, that the party feeling may be harmonious and tho Democratic majority made larger in November than that which was given Davison in 18SG." Good for the Midway Clipper! Here is the way it hoists the Lexingtou Argonaut on its own petard : 'If some of the so-call-ed Democratic journals of Kentucky would push a little more consistency and less viru- lence into their editorials the public would respect them mora. On more than one occasion in the last two years have the columns of one of the above journals, located at Lexington, fairly teemed with denunciations of and charges agninst the County Judge of Favette for attempting to intimidate the citizens and stifle the voice of the people by placing the polls in charge of men who would, if necessary, re- verse the will of the people after it had already been expressed, and now that paper is sorely distressed about tho election law and utterly indignant that Judge Pryor and Capt. Will El- lis should have been eo grossly in- sulted aj they were by an election to the Commissioner-ships- .

Congkessman Towxe has been do- ing splendid work in California speak- ing for the cause of silver. Recently in Stockton thcedilorolthe Independ- ent propounded that old musty co- nundrum about the price of wheat, when Towne publicly asked liim the following questions: 1. Do you believe in the "dollar of the greatest purchasing power?" 2. Are you glad that in 1897 certain American farmers got a higher price for their wheat than for some years past V 3. If you say to the last ques- tion, explain why "you are glad that the dollar hasless "puchasing power," as reckoned In wheat, than before? 4. If it was a good thing that the farmer got a higher price for his wheat would it not have been still better if he could have got higher prices for hay, his cotton, his fruit, and all his products? 5. If higher prices for the farmer would be good, why not also for the other producers.

Tho formal announcement of Mr. McCreary s candidacy for Congress in this district has caused quite a stir in political circles. This State has nover beet served in any capacity by a more conscientious and efficient oflicial, and his abilities have been recognized at home as well as abroad. While representing his district in Con- gress, he stood high with the adminis- tration, whether it happened to be Democratic or Republican. Ho is known to all to have been n tireless worker, aiid never overlooked a mat ter simply because it belonged to what might bo classed as the little things. He nover allowed an oppor- tunity to Joass vhen he might be of service to uny of his constituents, and no one ever asked a favor that was not ready and willingly granted. Tak- ing these thingii into consideration, together with the fact that ho has never been a man to skulk in his tent but has nlvaye stood by his party in times when it needed assistance, it is not to be wondered that he will make a strong candidate beforo the people. Few men Lave served tho public as long as ho has, wjth so clean a record. Tho Republicans view with alarm his announcement, for they know, with McCreary an the Democratic nominee, no Republicans need appIy-Ander- son News. In this issue of tho Sentinel, Hon. Jas. B. McCreary formally announces himself a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Representative in Con- gress, from this district. Mr. McCreary is too well known throughout the district to require any introduction from us. Elected to the Kentucky House in 18G9, he served for three terms, during tho last two of which he wat. Speaker. In May 1875 he was nominated forGovernorof Ken tucky and elected by an overwhelming majority, his term of office expiring in lSia. in ibs-- i ne receiveu tne nomina- tion for Coneress after the hottest contestthis district has over known in recent years and was elected by a large majority He was for each succeeding term until 1890, when he voluntarily retired and the district, which had always given him largo majorities, piled up a plurality of 2 400 for 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 of his constituents, and from the outset held a prominent position in the House, serving when the Democrats were in control ns Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Ailairs. When the President came to appoint the Monetary Commission Mr. McCreary was one of the three men selected and he served with distinguished ability. Mr. McCreary unquestionably has a strong hold on the people in this dis- trict and his formal entrance in the race promises to make it a memorable one. Shelby Sentinel. In this issue will bo found the an- nouncement ol Hon. Jas. B. McCreary for Congress from this district. Noue can question the fact that Mr. Mc-Crear- past services in Congress demonstrated his utelulness. his in- defatigable zeal for business and a credi table degree of abilit- - that found expres-io- n in the form of practical legislation. He was a clean, active, capable member of Congress in the pant and there is no reason to con- clude he would be otherwise in the future. Harrodsburg Democrat. The announcement, of Hon. James B. McCreary, for the Democratic nom- ination for Congress in this district, published in this issue, is a source of proud satisfaction to his many warm t'iends in this country. Having led the Deinocretic part to victory so oft- en, he is looked upon, by many, as a political necessity a Moses to lead the Democrats out of the wilderness into which they were led in 1S9G. His repeated victories have caused him to bo named the political Napoleon, aud the comparison is good, excepting the fact that he has never seen a Water- loo, and his friends claim that he will not be defeated if nominated this time. His olllcial career, as model Governor and Congressman, for sever- al terms, has made for him a host of admirers, who point with pride to his record and claim that he is the only man that can redeem the Eighth Dis- trict to their party. They claim that his long public service is without just grounds for criticism, that his views and course, on all issued, were always on tho side of the people and had in view the general welfar?, and that his able work against high protective tariif and fatted corporations should bo con- sidered by the party, when nomina- tions are in order. How far these claims will go toward securing the nomination remains to be seen, as there are several other candi- dates in the field, 4io claim recogni- tion at the hands of the Democratic party. Of course each county will be expected to instruct fonts home man, and the candidate wboctn hold on and control the votes after others are drop- ped, will win. Central Record. When the Courier-Journ- al finds space to say that Daviscn is losing no sleep over Gov. McCreary 's announce- ment and that ho thinks the Governor the easiest man beaten, it shows two tilings; that it is anxious for some- thing to fill up and to say something against 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 by Democrats in this city and county. Mr. McCreary dilfered from many Dem- ocrats on the money question, but when the bugle sounded for the line-u-p he stepped right under the old party flag. D will bo a winner. Lexing- ton Observer. Gov McCkeaky's announcement as a candidate for Democratic nomina tion for Congress makes tho papers generally says it is McCreary against the field. He has made one of the most efllcicnt Congressmen Kentucky ever had. Paris Kentuckinn. There are many good and deserving Democrats in the Eighth, but in the long list there is no name that would arouse more enthusiasm than that of James B McCreary. He is an able and skilled politician who never knows how to tire or be defeated, and if he wins the nomination the small calbered re- publican statesmen of that district may start in with the idea of having the best politician and the most invincible stumper and hand-shak- er in the State to contend with. McCieary's nomina- tion would mean McCreary 's election. Dr. John D. Woods in Bowling Green Courier. PERSONAL,. Miss Belle Bennett has returned from St, Louis.

Among the excellent musicians of Stanford is one whose voice rings out with a clearness and sweetness seldom equaled. I refer to Miss Clara Mer-sho- n, the unusually attractive and "handsoino daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Mershon. In every entertain- ment in which there is music she is called upon to sing a solo or to lead in a grand chorus, which she does to per- fection and is a general favorite. The first time there is a musical contest in Harrodsburg I will prevail upon her to take part aud proo the correctness of the above assertion Stanford cor. Har- rodsburg Sayings.

Mrs. Emma Walker Herr gives the following apaloguo in tho Phillistine: "Once at the gate of the great city, to which only good people were admitted, sat the gate-keepe- r, a wise old man, whom for convenience we will call St. Peter. Along came a lawyer who said: 'St. Peier, may I come in?' ' 'No,' -- aid the good old man, 'no lawyers can ever enter here.' "He of the green bag turned sorrow- fully away and sat down by the way- side to await fuither developments Just down the road, tripping along, with a little red umbrella over her head, came a female disciple of Black-ston- e, wearing a smile intended to van- quish all argument and act as a pass- word to the beautiful city. Of course St. Peter let her in. The poor man on the outside straightway headed for the gate again, and demanded of St. Peter that he should show cause. 'You just let that woman in and she s a lawyer from Ann Arbor!' "Oh,' said St. Peter, with a tired smile, 'tho woman is not a lawyer; she only thinks herself one.' And he rapped the lawyer over the head with a big cano and bade him begone." MARRIED. Tevis-Tev- is Walker W.

One of the few laws which were pass d by tho recent Legislature and which havo received the approval of the Gov- ernor is one to change the litne for the election of Trustees for common schools from June to October. We have not seen a copy of the bill and do not know whether or not it contains"an emer- gency clause. All bills ojtfie later char- acter go into effect as soon as approved by the Governor. All others go into elfect in ninety days after the Legisla- ture adjournes The late Legislature adjourned March 15th and these laws go into effect June 15th. According to the present law Trustees are elected on the first Saturday in June, which this year comes on the fourth of the month. Hence the election will bo over before the law goes into effect. Another ques- tion is will there be an election both in June aud October. A few years ago a law was passed changing the time for holding the Spring examinations from the first to the third Fridays in cortain months. As in this case one set of ex- aminations were held before the law went into effect and another set was held under the new law in the same month. The new law is a good one. As the law now stands tho Trustee is elected just before the teacher is employed and too often the question of his fitness does not enter into the canvass but he is elected solely on the question as to whether he will support -- this or that teacher for the fall school. The new-la- will chango this. The school will he halt out or more when the Trustee is elected in the fall and the next year's school will be so far away that the teacher question will not cut so import- ant a figure.

The following mysterious advertise- ment recently appeared in the Louis- ville Courier-Journal- : Wanted By a refined, competent middle-age- d widow, to sell herself into slavery for life to some good man and wife, elderly couple, or widow, for money enough to purchase comforta- ble home for her talented and beauti- ful children; will serve faithfully and endeavor to make myself invaluable, always striving to please. Address P. O. Box 93, Danville, Ky. An Advodate reporter has bad a copy of the advertisement since its ap- pearance, quietly awaiting develop- ment, but so far nothing has been learned 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 laws not only forbid it, but when this box wag rented especial instruction were given to keep it secret. In fact, the 'person" man or woman who rent- ed the box was acting for some one eLo. fthd even the post-ofli- ce people do not know who Mrs. Box No. 93 is. The Advocate reporter believes that the woman lives In the country. Further than that he lias no theories. There are several widows in Danville and Boyle county with "beautiful and talented children." and this interesting source of lively gossip will no doubt proye more or less embarrassing to some of them. There seems to be no doubt that the woman is in earnest aud that the whole affair is genuine. Danville Ad- vocate.

Born In Madison, Gov. Portrr Celebrates Mis Golden Weding In Versailles. A telegram to the Louisville Posl from Versailles, March 1(5, conveys this bit of news, of interest lo tho older ie8idents of Madiwin, among whom the distinguished groomsman has many friends: "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Porter are holding a reception this afternoon in celebration of their golden weddintr anniversary. Mr. Torler is a native of Madison county, nnd has been practic- ing law in Versailles since 1812, Mrs. Porter was born in Woodford, near Versailles, Few men in the legal profession in this State have ranked hicher than Mr. Porter, who for years enjoyed one of the most lucrative practices ever had by acountrv lawyer.

A General Order for Vaccination. Dr. J. M. Mathews, president and J. N. McCormack. secretary of the state board of health, finding their warning to tho people of the state to be vacci- nated in part unheeded, have again is- sued notice calling attention to the threatened epidemic of small-po- x and recommending that each town and city at once pass and enforce a compulsory vaccination ordinance, beginning with the colored race, but reaching every- body. From reports received from the in- fected districts the disease thus far has been confined almost exclusively to tho negroes Tho board recom- mends that physicians practicing among negroes be instructed as to the difficulty of recognizing mild cases of small-po- x and varioloid in the raco and of tho importance of calling in ex- perienced counsel in every doubtful or suspicious case. The officials of the state board arc of the opinion that tho entire popnlation of the state not already vaccinated are dangerously 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 interesting article appeared in the Cincinnati Post of March 24, in response to a re- quest fiom its editor, who had heard of Dr. Young's views upon the sub ject of "Cuba For The Negro." Tho Doctor upholds his views with logic and argument incontestible, and the plan proposed is worthy the consider ution of all. It is not, as would be at first 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 me to a friend m regard to the acquire- ment of the island of Cuba by the United States and setting it apart for homestead settlement by tho colored people of America is one to which I have given considerable thought. Tho idea of the annexation of Cuba is not new. As far back as the Ad- ministration of President Polk an oiler of $100,000,000 was made by ns and proudly rejected by Spain, and on various occa&ions since then its ac- quitment, either by conquest or pur- chase, has been seriously considered. It has long been apparent to many of our statesmen that the responsibility for tho destiny of the island must eventually rest upon this country. SPURNS PURCHASE NOW. Prior to the present trouble growing out of tho Maine disasterl should havo favored its acquirement by purchase, but as matters now stand I should snurn the idea of purchase from a peo- ple over whom there hangs, like a pail, the shadow of a great crime. It is farcical in the extreme for us to prate of a Monroe doctrine, on paper, and then proose to deal on equal terms with 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 we maj, purchase the lands of private in- dividuals, divide it into small tracts, say of 40 acres each, and oner it to the colored people of America, under titles inalienable, for 25 years, on condition of five years' personal residence there- on, and the making of improvements to be specified by law. HUMANE METHOD. This seems to me to be the most hu- mane method of settling tho quarrel of a century with Spain, and of ending the brutalities that have disgraced the Spanish administration in tho island. And then it would be a safe policy for this country, for whatever our prejudices, against conquest, the time has come when this Nation must forti- fy herself by strategic possessions abroad, if she would be safe from for-ei- gh harrassment and invasion. A problem equally difficult of solu- tion, and of more immediate interest to us, is the race problem in tho United States. There are thousands of col- ored citizens of this country who were nover able to acquire homesteads in the great West, for the reason that it was all settled before they had been long enough free to avail" themselves of it. The Alaska climate is too cold for them; the Indian Territory, when open for settlement, oners no poss- ibility of success to them. To the Southern white man this question is vital. The Southern country homo is fast fading into a memory. jikcome vicious. Tho negroes crowd into tho towns; unable to pay large rent, they are forced to live in miserable tenements, where in poverty and filth thev become a menace to the public health. Being idle, thev become vicious; tueymonop olize tho attention of our municipal and criminal courts to the neglect of the public business, they overcrowd our prisons, they become an easy prey to the political demagogue, aud thus endangor our physical, social civil and religious life. A fatal mistake in the solution of the race problem in this country has been the idea that education was the one thing necessary Millions of money has been expended in schools and ap- - Many Southern negroes have een liberally educated, but this has insured no lucrative employment, save teaching among their own race, and this vocation is becoming more and more crowded; hence, education is be- ing discouaged. CROWDED OUT. The building of factories will m t solve it. They are not skilled work- men, and if they were, organized la bor win not admit tnem to a place in their ranks. Successful agriculture is equally beyond their reach. The invention of machinerv has thrown thousands out of employment, ana tne tenant, mrmor lsinanopeless competition with the broad acres and improved methods of the land-owner- s. What shall be done? While they are here the land of the country mustsup-po- rt the population of the country In ono way or another. Every man must have a living not necessarily a good ono but a living. AS A HIRED HAND.
