Last week a Ken tuck- judge
sent one man to the penitentiary
seven -ears for killing his brother,
while he sentenced another man to
ten years' imprisonment for stealing
a ham worth Sl,12. From this we

the blue grass district is more valu
able than human life.
The democratic Cincinnati En
quirer tells a great truth in the
sentence: "The people are not
in the humor to take any sort of
politics that does not go hand-in-liantl
with the return of good times."
That was just the reason the
rave democracy a setback last
November. They will not repeat

Strikes have diminished in
France. In the first live months of
this year there were 170 strikes, in
voving 21.403 workmen. In the
same mouths of 1S94 there were 1S4
strikes, with S6,753 strikers. The
first of June there were in France
twenty-one strikes in progress, with
about 1,200 workmeu out. A news
paper comments by saj'ing that
the workmen have learned that
they are always the first victims of
strikes.
The Inter Ocean very truthfully
jemarks that there are thousands
of Americans wandering over
Europe and trying to enjoy its dis
comforts for the half dozenth time
who know comparatively little of
the grandeur and beauty of their
own country. It is a fad and a
fashion. Let the boys and girls see
America first; then if they have the
time and means look at Europe and
all the East. "We cultivate un
American ideas in rushing them off
to Europe as the one thing needful
in their education.
The sensational preachers who
assert that all the women riding
bicycles are rushing down the
straight road to the country sup
to be inhabited by satan, are mak
ing statements that any reasonable
christian will not swallow. The
bic-cle is an ever3'-da- article of
convenience, a health-builder and
a means of locomotion from which
man and woman alike can extract
pleasure. There are a great main
ministers of the gospel in this
country whose mossbackism is a
detriment to the religion they espouse.
The ground taken by some of
Dodge county's supervisors for
fighting the new township organi
zation law is that it is illegal to
legislate any person out of office.
This ought to touch the average
judge or jury in a tender spot. In
deed, it verges on a line of sym
pathy which makes the whole office
holding world kin. Of course there
is no reason why a person should
not be legislated out of the office as
well as legislated into it, as the
Fremont Tribune sagely observes,
and is after all doubtful whether the
kicking supervisors in Dodge county
will enlist any sympathy on the
part of thenon-officeholding public.

A harkowix'; romance is reported
from Logarto, Tex. Miss Bessie
Harris had a lover and she doubted
his fealty. His name was Black
man and he endeavored to ailav her
fears, and probably volunteered to
die for her or do any thing else
dreadful to prove his constancy.
Finally, with the advice of her par
ents, she proposed that he bhould
show his love and trust by permit
ting her to suspend him by theneck
with a rope for a little while. She
would cut him down as soon as she
was persuaded he had properly
attested his affection in kicking the
air. Blackmail agreed and was
accordingly suspended. The girl
was faithless to her promise to cut
him down and he has departed
hence. The neighbors seem to
think it was not a fair deal to Mr.
Blackmail and are talking of hang

State Journal.
Nebraska's maximum freight
law which has now gone to the
United States supreme court, is of
general interest as establithing the
principle of the right of a state to
fix rates for railroad traffic. The
act was passed in 1893 and was
signed by Governor Crounse. It has
since been in the courts. The
United States district court sus
tained the railroads, and the
court appeals has decided that it
has no jurisdiction, thereby over
turning the decision of the lower
triburnal. Should the supreme court
confirm the view of the court of
appeals, the matter probably would
go back to the state courts and be
fought out there. Bufialo Express
If there are still a few people in

as the state relief commission an
nounces its readiness to distribute
further aid from the state appro
priation just so long will calls for
assistance continue to come in.
There is one way to compel the
people of the western counties to
rely on themselves again as in the
past, and that is to close up every
avenue to the remainder ot tne
state relief appropriation. The
people demand an accounting of
relief commission's work. There
is no need of protracting that work
because of the spasmodic letters
still being received. Bee.
Protection to the sugar produc
ing industry of the United States,
whether beet or cane, is now re
garded as far more important than
it was admitted to be a tew years
ago. During the enactment of
McKinly tariff the quantity
the
of
American grown raw sugar was
very largely increased, to such an
extent, in fact, that it surprised
not only the friends of protection,
but also those who have the habit
of intimating that we cannot grow
any thing that is worth wearing.
There are two principal reasons
why both the beet and cane sugar
industries of the United States
should receive ample protection at
the hands of congress. One of
these reasons is that it will enable
us in time to be independent of
other producing countries for our
supply of one ot the necessary
articles of life. The other reason
is that the use of thousands of acres
of our farm lands in growing sugar
cane or sugar beets will leave a
smaller area to be planted to cotton,
corn, wheat, and other crops that
we now produce in such superabun
dance that the prices paid for them
to the farmers are very often below
the cost of actual production. By
growing our own sugar we shall be
strengthening oar national inde
pendence; we shall also helping
farmers who grow other crops by
checking their over-production.

gates Go Sightseeing.
Boston, July 15. The 14th interna
tional convention of tho Y. P. S. C. E.
closed tonight one of tho most success
ful meetings in the history of the soci
ety, and most of the delegates will de
vote the rest of the week to sightseeing
In Boston and vicinity.
The services of today had a deeper re
ligious feeling than auy that have been
held since the first day, probably due to
the excitement of tho opening days and
the impressive character of the exer
cises. "Consecration" -was tho central
thought in all the score or more prayer
meetings that began at 6:o0, and was in
fact the principal subject of tho day.
The attendance of all the meetings was
as large as on any day last week. Tho
addresses of President George A. Gates,
D. D., of Iowa college, and President
Albert D "Warfield, LL. D., of Easton,
Pa., in Tent Williston, were the features
of the morning. The former spoko of
"The Consecration of an Educated
Life," and he was followed by his great
audience with close attention. Presi
dent "Warfiold's address was on "Tho
Attractions of tho Ministry to tho Edu
cated Men."
Rev. Wayland Hoyt of Minneapolis
presided over tho meeting in Tent Wil
liston this forenoon. President Will
iam L. Harper, LL. D., of the Univer
sity of Chicago, was scheduled to pre
side, but was unavoidably absent. Tho
tent was well filled, about 9,000 people
being present and much fervor was man
ifested. At Tent Endeavor, an address by
Robert E. Sheer of Now York on the
missionary service proved a great draw
ing card. Mr. Sheer's great work in
missionary fields has made him famous
among Christian Endeavorers, and
thousands were surprised this morning
at the youth of this leader. Ho is not
yet HO years old, but is a veteran in
his chosen work. This morning
meetings in both tents were
conducted under the general title "Tho
Scholarship of the World for Christ."
At Tent Williston and Mechanics hall
encouraging reports concerning tho re
ligions life in college were made, and in
both the tents and the hall the roll of
honor upon which was inscribed tho
names of the unions whose members
have been able to give liberally to the
cause was simultaneously onrolled.
These exercises were accompanied by
suitable addresses.
Rev. W. C. Bitting, D. D.,New York,
conducted tho exercise iu Mechanics
hall; Rev. A. C. Peck of Denver, in
Willistou, and Rev. Ira Laudrich of
Nashville, in Endeavor.
The presentation of a banner to tho
local union doing the best' work in pro
moting systematic and proportionate
giving was made at Mecbani C3buildiii".
and Tent Williston.
Rev. .T. W. H. Stuckenberg of Cam
bridge, Mass., delivered in Mechanics
building an address on "The Christian
Personality" that desorved special men
tion, and tho same should be said of ad
dresses by Rev. A. P. Cobb, D. D., of
Springfield, Ills., and Rov. William C.
Pnddlofoot of South Framington, Mass.
Tho praise and song services at the big
meetings were as they have been since
the opening of the convention, fuil of
snap, energy and earnestness. The ag
gregate attendance was about 215,000,
The regular noon evangelistic meet
ings have attracted crowds of workers
who joined in the praise with a serions
ness that seemed to indicate regret that
today was tho last of the convention.
The largest of theso rallies was held at
Faneuil hall, where Rev. Francis E.
Smiley of Denver led the services, and
in Broonifiold Street church nnder the
leadership of C. N. Hunt of Minnea
polis. The other gatherings were at the
usual stores, wharves and street corners.

At One Time Favored Free Coinage, hut
Has Since Changed Ills Views.
Washington, July 15. Secretary
Hoke Smith's attention was called to
day to an article published yesterday
charging that he had been at one time
an advocate of the free silver coinage
and the subtrcasnry plans of the Farm
ers' Alliance. It was said that five
years aso ho pnblished a letter advocat
ing theso views.
Speaking on tho subject, the secre
tary said: "My attention has just been
called to tho publication of a letter
written by mo in September, 1890, to
Hon. W. L. Poek. and published at that
time in the Atlanta Journal. Tho Jour
nal was then openly opposing the sub-
treasury schome and my personal oppo
sition to it was well understood. The
letter oioarly excluded the idea of
committing me to all of tho seven
propositions which it presented,
although it was known that I did favor
tho free coinage of silver. I was giving
most of my attention to professional
work at that time, and supposed with
out thorough investigation that the free
coinage of silver would carry the value
of the silver bullion coined into a dollar
to par, and also keep silver and gold dol
lars upon a parity -with equal purchas
ing power. Since that time I have given
the subject much more study, and being
thoroughly satisfied that the free, un
limited and independent coinage of sil
ver at the ratio of 10 to 1 would result
in silver monometallism, I have for sev
eral years openly opposed it.
