r(v Ito.nlution. Adopted.
if ’
Tbe anti-Goetifil meeting at Bowling
Green, Ky., Monday afternoon ended
in the greatest disorder. Personal
violence was resorted to several times
before the convention was adjourned. '
One man was strnck with brass ,
knocks and several others received j
blows. For a time it looked as if the
meeting would end in a general riot, j
Pistols and knives were drawn, and ,
but for a temporary adjournment, j
more bloodshed would surely have
followed.
It was county court day and an un
usually large crowd was in the city.
The meeting had been widely adver
tised and was largely attended. A num
ber of prominent speakers from a dis
tance, among the number being Har
vey Myers and Theodore Hallman, of
Covington; Hon. Thomas H, Hays, of
Louisville, the defeated candidate for
tbe nomination of lieutenant governor;
William H. Smith; ex United States
District Attorney Jim Williams, of
Louisville; J. C. Flournoy, attorney,
of Fulton; J. J. Constantine, of Sparta,
and others were prosent.
J. McKenzie Moss, a gold democrat
of Bowling Omen, called the meeting
to order. An effort was made to elect
a secretary from the local newspaper
ranks, hut each one suggested refused
to serve.
Trouble In PrecipUnfed.
Mr. Moss was continued as perma
nent chairman. Harvey Myers, of
Covington, an oldtime enemy of Goe
bel, attempted to address the conven
tion, hut he had scarcely begun the
address when he was interrupted by
some one in the hall with the ques
tion :
“DM you betray Hon. Will T. Cox,
whose picture you now face, in the
race for ihe speakership of the Ken
tucky house of representatives?”
Mr Cox was a resident of Bowling
Green and was a very popular man.
He was defeated by Myers, his per
sonal friend, by a few votes for
speaker.
This remark set the convention in
an uproar. A great howl went up
and in a minute there was the great
est confusion ever witnessed at a po
litical gathering in Kentucky.
During die disturbance the commit
tee on ms**; nt ion a reported. The res
olution was declared carried. Fearing
more serious trouble, a motion to ad
journ was declared carried and half
the crowd loft the room, when several
personal altercations occurred on the
outside.
When part of the crowd hail left the
hall something like order was again
restored and many persons were in
duced to remain and hoar a number of
speeches.
Tbe resolutions deny that the ticket
is entitled to or should receive the
support of the party in the state.
The convention repudiated the so
called nominee, and “in order to pre
serve the integrity of the party and to
seen re the election of democrats,” re
queste l a “provisional executive com
mittee” of twelve to meet at Lexing
ton, August 2d, and meanwhile to
take steps to secure a full representa
tion at that meeting of democrats
throughout the state who are in sym
pathy witli the movement.
Owens Sends Letter.
Ex-Congressman W. 0. Owens sent
the letter condemning the movement
inaugurated by so-called democrats
and eastern states to abandou the
principles of the Chicago platform and
indorsing William Jennings Bryan for
president, and charging that the state
convention iu Louisville which nomi
nated Goebel ‘was perverted from its
true purpose by corruption, fraud and
force; by intrigue and treachery; by
infamous rulings of the acting chair
man, thereby setting at naught the
time-honored principled of democracy ;
that, the will of the majority of the j
people shall be the governing power.”

xtnER OF I^aNATIor 1 ]
Of Secretary of War Alger and
President McKinley’s Re
ply Thereto.
A Washington dispatch says: Sec
retary Alger maintained the same reti
cence Thursday that he adopted Wed
nesday after his resignation had been
presented. He would make no state
ment, and every inquiry was met with
£he declaration that this same silence
would be preserved so long as he was
a member of the cabinet.
The most absorbing and generally
discussed topic wus the choice of a
successor to Secretary Alger. Many
names were mentioned in the specula
tion.
The following is Secretary Alger’s
letter of resignation, aud the presi
dent’s reply to it:
“July 19, 1899.—Sir: I beg to ten
der you my resignation of the office of
secretary of war, to take effect at such
time in the near future as you may
decide the affairs of this department
will permit.
“In terminating my official connec
tion with your administration, I wish
for you continuous health and the
highest measure of sucoess in carrying
out the great work entrusted to you.
I have the honor to be, very respect
fully. your obedient servant,
R. A. Auger.
j To the President.”
The President replied as follows:
“Executive Mansion, Washington,
‘July 20, 1899.—H0n. K. A. Alger,
■ Secretary of War, Dear Sir: Your
' resignation of the office of secretary of
| war, under date of July 19th, is ac
cepted to take effect the Ist of August,
1899.
“In thus severing the official rela
tion which has continued for more
than two years, I desire to thank you
for the faithful service you have ren
dered the country at a most exciting
period, and to wish you a long and
happy life.
“With assurances of high regard
and esteem, I am yours sincerely,
“William McKinley.”

Burk—Spain I.auglin Over Her -
Great Bargain.
Aguinaldo! The name haunts me.
A man, a leader, a general who has
kept the army and navy of the United
States at bay for six months, must be a
patriot and a soldier. Surely some
strong power must be helping him.
Where does he get his supplies, his
guns and munitions cf war? Some
times we hear that he is a fraud,
a tyrant, and will soon play out. One
day we hear that our boys have about
whipped him into submission, but the
next day he has ambushed and killed
a lot o£them. Our boys are discour
aged and say that they are tired fight
ing a million negroes and want to
come home. I wonder how many of
them have died in the ditches and
from tropical diseases and home sick
ness. It seems that these things have
to be kept secret in war, and I reckon
that is right. But it will come out
sooner or later.
The secretary of war has at last
been forced to resign because of the
fearful mortality in Cuba that came
from his political appointments of in
competent officers and his beef job
bery. Alas for the poor privates. In
time of war they have no friends.
There is a wide gulf between them
and the commissioned officers. A
private must salute his superior officer
and feel, if he does not say, “I am
your dog, sir.” It is bad enough in
the volunteer service, but worse in
the regular army. I had two grand
sons in the Cuban army. One was a
captain and tbe other a private. They
were brothers but were not allowed to
associate. Tbe rules and usages of
war forbade it. One was a dog and
the other his master. Shakespeare
said that privates were food for pow
der and were the cankers of a calm
world and a long peace.
Asa general rule the regular army
is made up of the waifs of misfortune,
the vagabands, the idlers aud the
friendless. No well raised young man
with respectable connections would
think of becoming a private in tbe reg
ular army. Enlistment is simply a
mode of providing for the surplus pop
ulation that, might otherwise become
anarchists and endanger the govern
ment, Indeed, history tells us that
kings and emperors have found it good
j policy to provoke wars in order to give
1 the idle and restless class something
to do and to keep them out of mischief.
Their monthly pay and rations and the
prospect of a pension iu old age is at
i traction enough. Paternalism is the
! hope of the pauper, the communist,
the private soldier. The government
is their pap, and, like young jaybirds,
when the old ones come around, they
open their mouths wide and say,
“Daddy, drop a bug in here.”
But I was ruminating about this
copper colored Filipino, this man
Aguinaldo, and for the life of me I
j cannot help admiring him. If his
people continue to back him how can
■we subjugate them? He can afford to
j lose five to one aud then defeat us.
| He is exactly in General Grant’s con
j ditiou when nearly the close of our
j civil war. He said he could give us
1 three to one and conquer us, for he
| had the world to draw from and we
had nobody to take our prisoners’
I plnees. That is the reason he was so
! indifferent to the prisoners that we
j took and couldent feed. They were
mostly foreigners, xvho were not fight
ing for patriotism, but for money, for
a living. Look at the names ou the
headstones at Chiekamauga and An
dersouville. It almost gives a man
the lockjaw to pronounce them. There
were nearly three millions of men in
that army and over two million were
foreigners—food for powder—the
cankers of a calm world and a long
peace. What did Grant and Sher
man care for them? They enlisted for
$lO a month and got it aud took their
chances. Honors were easy. The
difference was that our boys were all
patriots and volunteers, aud one to
three Mas a fair fight.
Now, tbe population of the Philip
pines is said to be 19,000,000. That
would give them 1,000,000 soldiers
who are at home. At home defending
their native land and even if our boys
should kill or capture Aguinaldo, an
other one would rise up aud lead the
people. Spain is chuckling over the
$20,000,000 we paid for islands that
she was tired of, and it looks to me
like we have bought an elephant. For
the life of me I can’t arouse much in
terest in this far oft' war with 10,000,-
000 negroes. I don’t care anything
about it. As Spain treated the native
Cubans, so is our government treating
the Filipinos. I can’t see any differ
ence. I wish there was a difference.
I wish there was something to pro
voke my pride whenever we obtain a
victory,' but really this does not seem
like our war. It is an administration
Mar — a Republican Mar, a war that
will within a few years cost millions
and entail another pension outrage
Thi-re was ub necessity for it and no
excuse for it, aud peace might have
been made soon after Dewey’s victory
ovei the Spaniards. Aguinaldo re
piatedly proposed for it. Yes, begged
fur it, but our officials xvonldent even

THE' NATIONAL GAME.
The Haiti mores lead in stolen bases.
Brooklyn has won nil Its Sunday games
thi- season.
Pitcher Hahn is the popular idol of the
Cincinnati eranks just now.
Clingman’s return to Louisville’s inilold
has hraeed the Colonels up greatly.
Coughlin, Wilkesbarre’s third baseman,
has been sold to Washington for ijSIOOO.
The St. Louis outfield—Burkett, Heid
riek and Hempbill—are all left-handers.
■ McGraw, of Baltimore, has stolen almost
as many bases as five of the champion Bos
tons put together.
Western critics say that the Brooklyns
quit as quick as any team when things go
hard against them.
Team captains would do well to take in
to consideration the style of pitching to be
faced when selecting a “pinch” hitler,
Young and Nichols, two of the greatest
pitchers the game ever has known, are re
ceiving their defeats quite regularly this
season.
Wills, of Louisville, is the finest fielding
first baseman in the League, not even ex
cepting Tenney. If he can learn to bat he
will be a crackajack.
John B. Day has been relieved of tbe
management of the New York team by
President Freedman. His successor is Fred
Hoey, the well-knowu trap shot.
Brown, Georgetown and Holy Cross have
sent more players te the National League
than all the other colleges combined.
Brown leads with four—Tenney, Fultz,
Lauder aud Dowd.
The rare feat of a double play unassisted
by an outfielder was performed Dy Lange,
of Chicago, the other day. He ran and
scooped a short fly aDd then touched sec
ond before the base runnor could return.
Manager Selee ascribes the present ordi
nary playing of the Boston team to the
fact that the pitchers are not in condition.
He Is confident that there will be an im
provement in their work, and that the
pennant again will fly in Boston.
Manager Selee, of Boston, is using the
height of wisdom in working bis pitchers.
It is an old baseball maxim, where the
team is strong otherwise, “use the star
workmen against the ‘dub’ club for vic
tories and take a chance on the strong
with the supposedly weak box men.” And:
Manager McGunnigle first won a pennant
with it in Brooklyn in 1839.
LABOR WORLD.
Lockport (N. Y.) shoemakers will organ
ize a union.
Fifteen thousand people are employed in
making violins In Germany.
Niagara Falls (N. ¥.) barbers and retail
elerks will organize unions.
Women workers earning small salaries
find it very difficult to obtain homo-!ike
accommodations in London.
The International Seamen’s Union has
organizers at work at every lake and sea
port in the country. Many new members
are being enrolled.
Tbe members of the general railway
workers, whose union in Scotl 'nd is now
defunct, are joining the Amalgamated So
ciety of Railway Servants.
The City Law Department of Columbus,
Ohio, has just discovered that all city em
ployes must be placed on an eight-hour
work day basis iu the future.
The Boot and Shoe Operatives’ Union of
Great Britain has forfeited SISOO beeanse
a branch struck work contrary to the
terms of the arbitrators’ award.
The demands of the Jersey City brick
layers and masons for an eight-hour day
and compensation at the rate of forty-five
cents an hour have been conceded by the
employers.
The rights of labor are more fully recog
nized to-day both by law and by employers
than ever before, and this result is due
largely to well organized and judiciously
managed labor unions.
Those who were most bitterly opposed t*
the eight-hour law recently adopted by the
Legislature of New York are now ready to
concede the beneficial effects, since being
enforced on State and municipal contracts.
Labor papers in the Southwest state that
the striking miners of Arkansas and sur
rounding territory have been served with
enough injunctions to enable them to use
these instruments in papering their shan
ties.
