The Washington county auditor is reported §2,3()(>.70 short in his accounts. The democratic counly committee have petitioned the Boone county council to appropriate sl,000 for an investigation of all the county offices. The serial story from the Transvaal always ends with the thrilling statement that the villain is mustering his troops and intends to “still pursue her.” It is a curious commentary on the healthfulness of the Philippines regarding which Senator Beveridge had so much to say, that out of 1400 men in the 21st infantry, a “regular” regiment, 500 are now reported unfit for duty. The only semblance of endorsement that we have seen of the assassination of Gov. Goebel of Kentucky comes from Gov. “Teddy’’ Koosevelt of New York, and Apoligist Marshal], of Rensselaer, decidedly approves of Teddy’s alleged endorsement of the same. Now Gov. Roosevelt comes out in a statement denying the remarks accredited him. says he was misquoted, etc., but no such thing need be expected of Apologist Marshall.

The board of count}' connnis- . sioners yesterday filed an additional suit against ex-O-unty Recorder William E. Shilling. The former suit was for the recovery of $2,000 of the fees he was charged by Experts Bookwaiter and McCaslin with having retained, and his bondsmen were made co-de-fendants. The suit yesterday was for the recovery of $1,637.26, the difference between the amount heretofore sued upon and the total amount of fees charged against him. —Indianapolis Sentinel.

North Judson will not gat fibe proposed big sugar beet factory it is said, owing to the fact that the promoters were squeeze! in the recent Boston bank failures. Efforts will be made to interest other capitalists. There is precedent for Mr. Taylor’s action. The Ways and Means Committee of the national House of Representatives has decided to govern Porto Rico "outside the constitutioh” and the Taylor Republicans seem justified i® attemptinf to govern that state in the same way. However, we may hear later from the people of both Porto Rico and Kentucky.

When you hear some wouldbe county treasury looter howling about the "measly Democ®at,‘ T! kindly inform hiip that the county tax levy has been reduced 20 cents —almost one-third —in the past two years, since The Democrat was established, and ask him if he thinks any reduction would have been made had not the “measly Democrat” made a fight against high taxes? Tell him that the reduction means from $16,000 to tIH--000 left in the pockets of the taxpayers of Jasper county instead of going into the pockets of a few of the tax-eaters. Tell him all this has been accomplished by the “howls” of the “measly Democrat” when the assessed valuation of the county taxables has decreased $300,000 by reason of mortgage deductions, etc.; that the public business or needs of the county have not suffered by reason of this reduction in taxation, and that there is still more reforms to follow. Tell him that every taxpayer in Jasper county, regardless of his political affiliations, should doff his hat to The Democrat, instead of cursing the paper and persecuting its editor, who has had the courage to make this fight when guilty county officers and every paper in the county was doing everything in their power to silence him, and were swearing by all that was good and bad that i we had a very low rate of county ’ tax and that it could not safely be reduced—statements which the 20 cent, reduction have proved to be false in every particular.

“The Dark and Bloody Ground.”

Northern people generally are under the impression that the back-woods districts and fend counties of Kentucky are inhabited principally by blood-drinkers who vole the democratic ticket upon any and all occasions, and that the Kentucky “bad men” are all democrats, an impression which republican newspapers of the north have almost unanimously helped’to create and keep before the public. Occasionally there is a paper, however, that will “speak out in meetin” and tell the truth about these matters. Following is a clipping from a prominent daily of the republican persuasion which we would ask the reader to carefully ponder over, and, after reading, hand to his benighted republican brother who believes as above:

"The men who stood guard over the Republican State officers of Kentucky prior to the calling out of the militia are known as "determined" men by Republicans and as "bad” men by Democrats. They are all from the mountainous regions of southeast Kentucky, and, strangely enough, the politics of the mountain men and those who live in the moonshine whiskey localities is Republican. It is supposed, naturally enough, by outsiders that the men who are constantly beset by Government officers would be against the national administration, but they are not. How they came to be Republicans no one knows, since they came from the Virginias, unless they started that wav during reconstruction days in order to get the public offices, fur political workers are asdihgentand aggressive in these bad counties as elsewhere. There are two Republican Congressmen from Kentucky now, and both are from the way-back I districts. Vincent Boreing of London reprei sents the Eleventh District, composed of eighteen mountain counties, and Samuel J. Pugh represents the Ninth District of thirteen counties. Both districts are in feud territory. Great feuds have at times existed in the following counties, all of which are Republican by large majorities: Bell. Clay, Harlan. Laurel. Leslie, Lee,. Letcher. Pike. Rowan. Taylor and Whiteley. Laurel County, wich is designated as legislative headquarters,cast 1.849 votes for Taylor and 919 for Goebel. Leslie County gave Taylor l,oS2>nd Goeliel 8t votes."

Now, in proof of the above, we have before us the last official census figures of Kentucky, and also the election returns of the state for some years back, and we find that the statements made in the above clipping are absolutely correct. Nearly every one of the more populous counties of the state, where civilization is supposed to have reached the highest standard, are democratic, or republican by very small pluralities, while the sparcely settled, tough, moonshine and feud counties wre nearly all largely republican. Take day county, for example, a county thinly populated and
