Suw day, fair. The people of Ohio are to bo congratu lated ou the defeat of the bill to steal the canals of that State. The victory of the friends of the canala i'b all the more significant becaueo Boss Cox, of Cincin nati, used his f lTorts to put the measure through. The vote was a rebuke to "Coxiem." The Sherman law was pas3ed in 1890. Fourteen years afterward the first decis ion in favor of the people was won under it and it is a barren one. What of the coal trust, sugar trust, beef trust, steel trust, et al ? The man who pretenda to believe that the Republican party is sin cere in its war against trusts is an easy mark, is the opinion of the Georgetown Newe"-Deinocrat, and Br'er Eylar is right. THE POSTAL SCANDAL. The effort of the Democrats to force an investigation of the Postoffico Depart ment was renewed Thursday but was again defeated by the Republicans. The latter claim that the rottenness has al ready been exposed, and some of the rascals convicted, but the Democrats assert that the bottom has not been reached yet. On this point the Wash ington correspondent of the Courier-Journal furnishes some interesting figures in regard to the cost of transporting the mails which certainly indicate the need of a thorough probing of the service: In 1882 there was under the system of competition then in vogue, a clear sur plus of ?1,400,984 to the credit of the PoBtoflice Department, bo that it was then on a paying basis. How this has been changed will appear when it is stated that the deficiency in expenditures in this department in 1903 amounted to 54,500,044, which Congress iB now called upon to provide for. I have already shown that all this large deficiency could have boen saved in Shallenberger's office by wise business management. In my last article on this subject, I referred to the recent contest between Capt. Castle, late Auditor for the Postofilce Department, and Shallen berg'er, (Second Assistant Postmaster General) which finally resulted in the retirement of the Auditor. This has brought prominently before Congress and the country the shiftless and unbusiness like methods that have prevailed in the contract office during the past four years. I stated that nearly 540,000,000 are ex pend for railroad Bervice annually, the actual amount estimated and called for by the Postmaster General for the cur rent year being 538,242,000, and the esti mate for the c mine year being $39,098, 000. Add to this $13 700,000 for railway pcstoflicf8 and 5000,000 for electric car service and vou have a total expenditure of $54,004,000 for railway transportation. But if we take into consideration the cost of star, Bteamboat, mail messenger, wagon service in cities, pneumatic serv ice and "special facilities" we find the extraordinary expenditure of over $72, 000,000 for mail transportation in the United States, every item of which must be examined and audited by the Sixth Auditor for the Postoffice Department. That there is an absolute necessity for reform in the methoda of settling these tremendous accounts goes without saying. Before his forced retirement Capt. Castle repeatedly declared that glaring defects existed in the Bystein of auditing, which he was powerless, owing to Shallenberg er'e attitude, to remedy. The Controller of the Treasury commented in severe terms on this defective svstem, and stated that the data furnished the Auditor was insufficient. And as yet nothing has been done to remedy the evil. PLENTY OF IT. Lots Moro Proo! Llko This, and It Is All From Maysvlllo People. "The proof of the pudding iB the eat ing of it." If any city or town in the Union has eufiicient proof on the follow Bubject it is Maysville. Genuine merit is finding its reward in the hearty en dorsement of local citizens.

Venerable Father of Mrs Robert Ficklin Passes Away nt (lis Home iu Covington. fCoinniercIal-Trlbune Death removed a patriarchal citizen of Covington Thursday night. Charles Albert McLaughlin, known to every man i'n the city for tho last half century and more, died at tho homo of his son, Albert, 1040 Scott street. He was eighty-six years old and was born in Cov ington in 1817. Death was due to infir mities cf Bge. Up to within the last five years he was an active business man, but the infirmi ties of age induced him at that time to lay aside worry and he had since dwelt qu'etly either iu Covington or at his fatm near Big Bone Springs in Boone County. Fifty years ago he was the leading bus iness man of Covington and was consid ered the wealthiest man in tho city. His home was in what is now tho Colonial Flats, at Fifth and Greenup streets, and no house in tho city was more hospitable. Ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. McLaugh lin celebrated their golden wedding at the home of her eon, William. Three years ago the faithful companion of his life died. Since then Mr. McLaughlin bad been in failing health. At the celebration of the anniversary four generations were represented. Wil liam P. McLaughlin and hiB eon, Wil liam P., Jr., and Charles, tho son of Wil liam P., Jr., besides the old man. Threo boob and three daughters sur vive. Thoy are William P., Charles A. and Edward B. McLaughlin, of Coving ton, Mrs. Robert Ficklin, of Maysville; Mrs. Frank Clark, of Matoon, 111., and Mrs. William Orr, of Covington. There are eight grandsons, eleven granddaugh ters, four great-grandsons and Beven great-granddaughters. Rev. W. S. Priest formerly of this city is now minister of the Central Christian Church of Columbus, O. Several other ex-Maysvillians, among them Mr. and Mrs. Clinkenbeard and children, are members of his church. Mr. Emil WeiB is erecting a slaughter bouse and cold storage plant on his lot on the Fleming pike. Mr. John F. Mo ran of this city has the contract for the foundation and the John Dupps Com pany of Cincinnati will construct and furnish the buildings. A strong effort is being made to have Governor Beckham pardon George Mil ler, who was given a year's sentence in the penitentiary for running a faro bank. Miller is ready to sign a pledge never to gamble in any way, shape or form in the State again. Dean Baker P. Lee went to Frankfort Thursday and made a plea for Miller's pardon. Tho Bourbon grand jury in its first re port Thursday indicted the poolroom op erators, sheet writers, ticket writers, cashier and chalker of Paris on alleged charge of common nuisance. The pool room has been paying a $5 fine in the PariB Police Court every morning, and the cases will be fought out in the Cir cuit Court on the plea of former convic tion. Governor Beckham has approved the bill prohibiting the sale or transportation of wild turkeys, pheasants, grouse, part ridge and quail within the State of Ken tucky. It makes it unlawful .for a com mpn carrier to carry game except in pos session cf the hunter who lawfully killed it. Each bird or fowl iB made a separate offense, and the penalty is from $10 to $25 for the first offense, and from $25 to $50 for any subsequent offense. Reversing the case of Dewitt against the O. and O. taken up from Bracken County, tho Court of Appeala says: "In an action against a railroad company and one of its employes for damages, tho fact that appellant had brought a suit against the railroad company alone, which he dismissed without prejudice upon an ordor being made to transfer it to the Federal Court, the lower court was not without jurisdiction because of the re moval of the first suit to the Federal Court, where it was dismissed, and it was error to overrulo appellant's demurrer to the answer of appellees, and to sustain tho plea to the jurisdiction." In the appearance at the opera house, matinee at 2:30 and to-night at 8:30, of Willis Maxwell Goodhue's jolly comedy, "Hello Bill," the patrons will enjoy one of the greatc'Bt comedy treats of the season.

Whiskey and .Beer, Habit PERMANENTLY CURED BY (1 ORRINE A SAFE, SURE AND HARMLESS SPECIFIC Physicians pronounce drunkenness a disease of the nervous system, creating a morbid craving' for a stimulant.
