-m tEISES THE INTERIOR JOURNAL Stanford. Ky.. - Dec. 29, 1899 W. P. WALTON. Thk season for retrospection and tho casting up of tho accounts of tho year I again upon us and ho alono la bless cd, who in dob io, can recall nothing thai ho has done thai he would havo left undono and left undone nothing k.t k hrmlri hare done. Out alas! how few thero be, If any, who havo lived such perfect lives. Wo arc all, that is to saT tnost all, of us, miserable sinners and there Is little or no help In us. Meeting Emtnett Logan, ol tho Times, for whom wo have always cher ished a slncero affection, in Loulsvlllo tho other day, and recalling tho fact that wo had ectercd tho newspaper business almostslmultancously 25 years ago, ho remarked: "Walton, old fel low, did you over sit down and think how much rot we havo written in tho last quarter of a century? How many ...-i.,.,.i nMn thlnirs of peoplo and things, wo havo written that could so much better to havo ocen icn, u written?" We bad thought of It very often with rcferenco to oursolvcs and resolved repeatedly to raced our ways. Hell is said to bo paved with good In tentions, however, and men resolve and rcresolve and dlo the fame. Wo claim odo credit, though. Wo never write anything of anybody-wo wouldn't say to his faco and alwnys tight In tho open and not behind dirty, low and mean in sinuations, which only stamp those who mako then, as cowards and assassins. Furthermore wo never parade personal grievances before our rcadors and do not waste space to tell about It every time wo Hod it necessary to mash a puppv's mouth or kick a cur. However, this Is not what we started out to say. We simply wanted to tell our patrons we have tried to give them tho best in our shop thisyear and If wo havo fallen below, a Demosthenes n. - 1 n.1nn fnn ahnrtpnm oruiccro, we uck hi " jirora us. vvu win uui uu um.-u.,...-.. j lngs and plead error of the head and un6(.rUpUi0u8 republicans and cannot . i ,. honrt. Our Intentions are always good anil it is never our desire to hurt anybody's feelings, unless that ,er cntered lho Sonato. Only throe i,'aPtlnn shall make It necessary So if wo have hurt one's feelings that oughtn't to have been hurt, we cravo his pardon and are willing to make any proper amends. Wc have enjoyed a most prosperous year, thanks to as loy al a constituency as a man ever enjoy ed, for which we are profoundly grate ful. Promising even greater effort to make tho Intemok Journal a model newspaper In every respect, we drop a tear for tho old year and wlth a smile f jr the new begin the 26th year of our journalistic career with a strong heart and with a conscience void of offense, loving our friends and not caring enough for our enemies even to hate them. The way pension claims from soldiers of the recent war are pouring In, sug gesta that many of them must have gone in with tho view of having the government support them the rest of their lives. Already over 25,000 claims havo been filed, or one for every 12 men enlisted. One Massachusetts reg iment alono has filed f50 applications and a New York regiment over 300. Tho flood of applications Is said to be due more to the pernicious activity of pension attorneys than to the soldiers themselves, but the Louisville Times pertinently suggests that "It must bo admitted that before application can be made the veteran himself must be, like Barkis, at least wlllln'." Pito Tem. Gov. Taylok has ap pointed A. M. J. Cochran, a republican of Maysvlllc, and W. H Mackoy, a Brownlo of CovlnRtou, to succeed Pry or and Kills on tho election commission. Tho program Is for the contestecs to Ignore Senator Pojntz and Judge Ful 100 und then tboTujlorappolnteeB will call u meeting Inviting Mr Poyntz to attend. The be6t law era of both par ties eay that Taylor Is making himself ridiculous by tho appointments and that when tho court of appeals Is called upon to settle the question, It wont take it five minutes to turn him down and declare as before that the Klectlon bill 1b constitutional in all lw provis ions. Not content with uiaklog Spain a present of 120,00,000, McKinley goes a step further with his reckless uo of the people's money und will ordor that not only all tho Spanish soldiers but tho civilians, who want to return to Spain, shall do so at this government's ekmse. The president continues to ullo up straws on which will break before him Hatter than a flounder, POLITrClMS AND POLTICS. Ex-Congressman John K. Halsoll, of Kentucky, died at Port Worth, Tcxa. It Is said that the price of a legisla tive voto against Goebel will be $10,- 0X1. Ii U Aid that Hon. Thomas S. rettll, of Owensboro, will bo appointed to fill out lho olectlon board.

Every tlma you put a rovonuo stamp on a telegram or a bank check, you are helping to pay tho salary of tho Sultan of Sulu, and to keep up tho wa-drobo of his harem, such as It is. Juduc Tarvln Is defendant In a $10,- 000 daraago suit brought by Covington councilman for falso imprisonment. Judgo Spelgel Is trying tho case and It Is to bo hoped Tarvln will lose out. S J. Shackelford, clerk of tho court of appeals, whoso duty it is under the election law to administer tho oath of olllce to members of tho board of elec tion?, announces that ho will not rcc- oirotzo tho appointees of Taylor. Bully for Sam. Hon. B. A. Enloc, former editor of tho Louisville Dispatch, while It was a democratic paper, has returned to Jackson, Tenn., and Is a candidate for Congress. Tho district Is now repre sented by Congressman Sims. llop klnsvlllo Kentucklan. At a cabinet meeting It was decided to construe liberally tho treaty with Spain recardlng the return of Spanish soldiers and prisoners of war in tho Phlllnulncs. All Spanish civilian du ctals, and their families as woll, will be returned at the exncnso of the United States. On learning of Taylor' appoint ments, Commissioner Poynu sent this hot dispatch to Secretary Chenault: Irnoro all demands for documents; surrender nothing to alleged Gov. Tay lor or his appointees. They neither deserve nor shall receive recoenltlon from us. Wo will not bo bull-dozed by be lllmflammed by counterfeit Brownies Twenty three years ago senator iei BRIEF HEWS NOTATION.
