The was o well wtiolicd
with the public event-of this week,
both foreign and that he
uaiiien u go in .iiaiyiaiiii io enjoy
his favorite sport, shooting wild ducks,
hut found it impossible to get away.
The diplomatic victory won by him
from 1. unl Sabrbury war- a vindication
ot the rigorous foreign policy,
which has been such a marked feature
of his ailiiiinirtratiou, that the
whole world now unilerntauds that the
' United .States is no longer a good
country to try to impose upon. So
much for foreign atlairs.
The crioua in tho Democratic
party in the on the Free Coinage
Hill was the domestic cvci't of the
week most pleasing to the President
and all other good Republican. It
is an excellent beginning of tho 1'rrs.
idential campaign for the Republican
lor Representative Wand to
accuse Sneaker Crisp of having prevented
a final and decisive vote uu the
Krec Coinage Hill, by deceiving its
supporters into agreeing to an adjournment
by promising that a
should be reported enabling them
to gel u vote without filibustering,
ami for Speaker Crisp to retort by
calling Mr. Hlaud toiuetliing which
gentlemen usually resent with a blow.
It augurs hi well for Democratic harmony.
There has been another chaagc in
the Democratic programme in the
IIouh', and it is now announced that
the free wool bill is to be parsed next
Monday, under a suspension of tho
rules.
The vote of the Senate on the ratification
of the arbitration treaty was
remarkable for two things, tho unusual
largo number of Senators voting,
and the fact that all of
them voted one way, for tho ratifien
tion of tho treaty. There was no poll,
tics in the iiuest'inn, and to the credit
of the Democratic Senator.) be it said,
there was no attempt to inject any
into it.
Quite a crowd went from here, including
Secretary Tracy mid other
prominent naval
to sco the launching ot the etuis
or Uiliegh, which took placa at tho
Norfolk Navy Yard yesterday.
Assistant Secretary Netlleton has
filed formal charges with Secictary
Foster, against Immigration Commissioner
Owen, accusing him ot being
unfit, incompetent and
iu tho performance of his duties;
of circulating malicious slanders
against his superiors in oflice, nnd of
baring slipshod and reckless ideas
of conducting public business. Commissioner
Owen disputes every item
of tho charges.
Representative Dolliver, of Iowa,
who is oiio of the youngest men in
tho House, made, this week, one ot
tho best tariff spcaches that has been
inado during tho present session. It
has at ono bouud placed him iu the
front rank of tho good takers in Congress.
He referred as follows to tho
Homocpathio policy ot tho Democrats:
"The tact that this House,
utmost unnoiiuouely Democratic, sent
hcio, it is claimed, as a protest against
tho McKinley net, with iU prominent
candidato for Presidency usking(for
ite repeal, has not dared to touch It,
except in act of child's play.is evidence
that tho argument of Free Trade U a
demagogic proclamation secretly
.discovered by peoplo who aro post-in
jit upon tho barn doors of , Iowa
ami Nebraska (this refers to' tho Fret)
Trade opcech recently made by
Dryan, of Nebraska,
liud which liasbeen posted throughout
Mr. Dollivor's District. )Two ycarsago
tiie Republican party under a tempest
of I'aleo pretenses went down, carrying,
the McKinley bill on its back..
This year tho McKinley act carries
the Republican party, nnd the gentleman
who gave tho measure its name
from his Governor's chair looks down
upon the country mado happy and
pioperous under its provision,"
Tho wish is father to the thought
when the Democrats express a deeiro
for an early adjournment of Congress.
The longer the session lasts the more
mistakes the Democrats will make,
ami that is why the sensible men
among tlirm are nnxious for nn ad
journment as soon as possible. There
i" not the slightest ptobability of an
adjournment earlier than July, and it
will mot likely bo August before the
Democratic members of tho House
can ocupe tho dangers which daily
confront them, and by that time their
party's chance of carrying the Presi
ilcutial election will be reduced to 0.
A bill has beeu reported to the
Senate from the committee on For
eign Relations, which is the direct
outcome of the killing of the Italians
by the New Orleans mob. It provides
tor the punishment of those who violate
the treaty rights of aliens.
Notice has been given by Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, that he will, ou
Monday next, call up his bill for the
nee coinage of silver, which was
sometime ago reported adveisely by
tho Finance Committee, and placed
on the calendar. He says he does
not expect the bill to pass, but he
wiihes to put 'the Senators ou record.

SULPHUR SPRINGS.
April 1. A fow days ago Mrs. Jo.
T. Daniel was preparing to do her
family washing, and sho had just
empted a teakettle of boiling water
into a tub which was sitting on a stool,
when her little 3 year old boy camo
toddling along, giving a pull at the
tub which was upset, tho boiling water
drenching the child completely,
making a terrible scald, caustug its
death iu aboutjwelve hours. Mothers
cannot bo too careful with firo and
boiling fluids. The grief stricken
parents have the sympathy of tho
community.
Ou March tho 29th, the residence of
Hob Cazy, of tho Sulphur Springs,
was destroyed by firo, with almost all

very liberally to his aid.

OWENSBORO NOTES.
March 28, 1892. The remains of
Mr. John O'Flaherty, who died nt his
residence on Lewis street last evening,
was sent out on the O. & N. this
morning to be interred nt Hartford,
his former home. His death, though
not unexpected, will be regretted by
many friends hero and elsewhere.
Those who take such nn interest in
the "Heathen Chinee"nnd the natives
of the "Dark continent," Ac, were
forcibly reminded of the old adago
"Charity begins at home" by the
"Mountain Mission" lecturo of Rev.
Jones at the first Baptist Church Sunday
night. Many do not know that
according to the statement of this
Missionary in our enlightened "Ke:i-tuck"
arc meu and women ot middle
aer who have never heard u sermon,
nnd hoya ami girls who will walk one
huudred miles, ami then labor for
food and clothes in nrder to take' one
term at Williamsburg school. The
speaker's story of ignorance and want
wtu heightened by amusing incidents
of mountain life, and in illustrating
their condition he related the patriotic
story of the little' dog travliug all
alone on a railway train. A passenger
asked tho put lor:" Where's that dog
going?" The porter answered: "I
duiiiio, ho dunno; nobody duuuo
he's chewed up his tag."
The wedding bells of Ohio county
seems to bo merrily ringing all the
time. The wedding party of Thomas-Renfrow
passed through this city on
their way to Evansvillo Wednesday.
Fast upon this comes the rumor that
one of Fordsvillo'smost p.ipular young
merchants, and one of her fairest
young ladies will shortly wed, and
if madam rumor is to bo accredited
this is only a forerunner of several
other like events among tho elite of
Fordsville.
The various ehurcho iu the city
are preparing to celebrate that beautiful
anniversary Easter with their
usual success. M. A,
Tho Situation at Washington.
The political situation at Washington
has grown more nnd inoro confused
since the opening of Congress.
Hail the opponents of tho Democratic
party been permitted to outlino its
policy they could not have devised a
course of proceedings better calculated
to sow seeds of dissension, destroy
party discipline, and demoralize tho
organization. '
When Congress assembled it was
tho general belief that Mr. Mills
wouldlio choien Speaker, that tho
veterati tariff reformers would bo put
in charge of tho Ways and Moans
Committee, nnd that tho work to
which the party was so thoroughly
pledged would bo pushed forward
with tho utmost vigor and determination.
This policy did not meet tho view
of a number of distinguished gentlemen,
and the result was that Mr.
Mills was not chosen Speaker
nnd the Ways nnd Means Com-'
mitteo was thoroughly reorganized
nnd disorganized, tariff reform was
sent to the .rear, ami Mr. Bland's com-.,
mittce was given practical conttol of
proceedings in tho House of Representative-'.
Unfortunately tho trtntlemeii in
charge of tho Committee ou Coinage1
V---l-'
have learned nothing iu the last
five or six years
There has been a revolution iu the
production of silver, great mechanical
difliculties have bcon overcome,
and new mines have been opened,
with the result that there has becu a
steady decline iu the price of tho metal,
notwithstanding the heavy purchase
by tho American Government,
Facts such ns these make no impression
upon the Silver leaders. Mr.
Blnud's Silver bill was drawu to meet
a situation that exieted twenty -five
years ago. Instead of establishing a
natural ratio, one npproaehiug that
existing iii tho markets ot the world,
one puney artificial was chosen, with
the promise that if France would
unite with us even this w.mld bo altered.
Such a measuro could not command
the united support of the Dem
ocratic party, but it was believed that
it would have suflicieut strength, under
the direction of the Speaker and
Mr. Bland, to go through the House
ot Representatives with a good majority.
Instead, it was saved from
defeat only by the vote of the
Speaker, to the surprise nliko of its
friends mid opponents. The vote
was a demonstration of the marked
change iu public opinion, to which
up to that time Mr. Blaud seemB to
have been serenely indifferent.
It appears that even this vote did
not fully record the change that has
taken place iu Congress. Wheu Mr.
Bland conferred with the Speaker demanding
the adoption of the rules,
which the Democrats had so fiercely
denounced in the, lost Congress, he
found the Speaker unwilling to resort
to such arbitrary measures iu the face
of so open a revolt iu the Democratic
party. .
Mr. Crisp is undoubtedly right in
his refusal to accede to tho demaud
of Mr. Bland to cut off debate and
force the Silver bill to nn issue. If
that measure havo a majority in the
House that ran be relied upon, Mr.
Bland and Mr, Crisp will havo no
great dilliculty in bringing the matter
to a vote under regulnr
proceeding. It' it lack that majority,
there is no reason for resorting
to Mr. .Rccd's tactics in order to dem
oustratc the fact conclusively to the
country", v
Iu the mean time, tariff reform has
beeu allowed to slumberJNo inspiration
has come to tliepeople from
Congress tit Washington. " There is
no concert of action, uo unity of feeling,
no enthusiasm anywhere. The
issue that was rejected by the leaders
last December may now lie pushed to
tho frmU and it may again inspire the
Democratic, hosts. Bui mouths of
valuable time have, been lost.
have spread everywhere. The
uufortiunte assault made by Mr.
Bland upon tho Speaker is only one
of several indications of widespread
dissatisfaction throughout the Democratic
organization.

Grazia's Letter.
AiiHinvn.LE, Ky., March 27.
Au act to enable tho several counties
of Kentucky to select tho textbooks
used in tho common schools
and to chcupeu tho price has beeu introduced
into tho House of
by Mr. Hay, from the Com
niittec ou Education. Tho bill has
been read before that body and
printed. It is n bill that seems to
fill a long-felt warii and if passed, will
do much toward the advancement of
education in our State.
Such a law would enable a change
to b'b made, at puce .iu U)e text-books
now in use. It js a well-known lact
that many of these books 'are 'deficient
iu their sgJjjqcA. raster md in
mcthodt of presenting jit,, WhUo
such is'true, wo cannot hope for tho
best results In our common school
system, a change ot grammars u
sorely needed, and I know of no grammar
that could be adopted in lieu of
Harvey's that would be so perfect in
its methods nnd subject matter as
Rigdon's. If a change should bo
made we hope this book will be selected.
Perhaps the greatest want felt is iu
our readers. There is less accomplished
in teaching rending in our
schools than in any other lyaiich.
The readers arc deficient iu almost
every respect, being made up ot detached
fragment that furnish nothing
to hold the child's interest, nothing to
appeal to his imagination, nothing to
broaden his views and develop his
personality. Inattention, careless,
intellectual vacancy are the logical
results. Learning to read is not
learning to vocalize alone, it should
be un exercise in literature, an attempt
to fathom the thought of the
soul that created it. When wo consider
the school books iu use to day,
and realize that three-fourths of the
school children to-day will never get
any other literature, we can sec the
need of n ohango here.
The remedy for this rampant evil is
a simple one, yet an impossible one
now. Whole pieces of liternturo
should bo substituted for these reading
machines. The mouthing of lines
should be made a secondary object.
If the child's interest is onco aroused
all else will come of itself. While
the information readers are a great
improvement on our present book, yet
my ideal change would bo to place '
unabridged masterpieces in the hands
of the child from the time he is ready
for n text-book. I
u into i uo not hope lor such n
radical change now, in time I believe
it will be made, in thu meantime some
improvements should he had. With
a chaugo of text-books nnd better
houses, more aids and better teachers,
our schools will receive such an impetus
as will place old Kentucky in
the van of her sister States iu progress
of civilization ami Christianity.
Sup't Thompson seems to be doing
all in his power for tlfe betterment of
our schools, nud from the hearty cooperation
ho will receive from many
of the County Superintendents
doubtless a great work will bo done.
