CHARLES HENRY PRICE. Middlesborougb, [Ky.). News. On Wednesday, the last day of August, there passed away at Remington, Indiana, a prince of good fellows, Charles H. Price. Mr. Price came to Middlesborough in 1890 from Dakota and soon established himself as one of the leading lawyers and citizens of the place. He became active in politics, taking the democratic side and made a diastrous race for mayor in the fall of 1893, the political sentiment being too strong and the “machinery” being still stronger against him. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war he patriotically lowered his age four years and went out as the captian of Company F, Second Kentucky, of which his son Max was lieutenant. Like many another man army life upset all the lines of life qnd after ha was mustered out it was difficult to settle down to the routine of work, and he moved to Webb City, Missouri, where for some time he prospered finely, only to be stricken down with typhoid from which no recovery was ever had, and which gradually developed tuberculosis and death. Vainly seeking recovery in Missouri he was taken to Indiana, to Florida, and then back again to his old home at Remington, Indiana, where the body now rests. He leaves a widow who has been with him thru all this illness and two sons, Max Taylor, superintendent of the Interstate Railway, at Stonega, and Don Krasher, of this city, who occupies the position of confidential clerk to superintendent Hollingsworth of the L. & N. Mrs. Price will make her home in Middlesborough with Don, Max also calling this place home tho compelled to be elsewhere most of the time.

A GREAT BALL GAME.

Fowler Leader, One of the historic games of ball was played at Rensselaer nine years ago between Fowler and Remington. Tom McCoy gave a carnival and offered a SIOO prize for the best team. Col. Semple was the pitcher, Pete LaFountain caught, Frank Longwell was on second base and Adrain Stewart, of Oxford, was at first. The latter was a great ball player when he had money up. Petie Richmire was supposed to be manager of the team. Going through Remington Dr. Traugh shook a SIOO bill at the boys and wanted to bet on his team. The boys would not bet. They wanted to see the line up. The doctor was advised to send his money up, perhaps it would be covered. The first move was to get Adrain Stewart to bet $lO, then some fellows called Andrew LaFountain a plow boy, then there was a gust of wind and a sprinkle of rain and Remington made three scores the first inning. The Remingtoniteß went wild and offered to bet two to one and three to one. Petie Richmire had the gate receipts and was also holding stakes in several bets, and he just puts the whole business up on Fowler at those odds. But no other score did the colonel and Pete let them have. The latter threw away his catcher’s mit and insisted on catching bare handed. In the twelfth inning Fowler made the winning run.

Used For Pneumonia. Dr. C. J. Bishop of A*new, Mich., says, “I have used Foley’s Honey and Tar in three very severe cases of pneumonia with Rood results in every case.” Refuse substitutes. Sold by A. F. Lone. Advertise in The Democrat.

PARKER ON TRUSTS

James Creelman Shows That the Democratic Candidate Is the Man of the Hour. James Creelman has contributed a iharacter sketch Of Judge Parker to the Review of Reviews in which he throws light on the trust record of the candidate. In part he says: “In 1896, sitting as a trial justice of the supreme court of New York, he decided in the Bluestone trust case that it was immaterial whether a combination in restraint of trade was reasonable or unreasonable. The existence of the power to restrain the trade was forbidden by the common law. In uttering this conception of sound public policy the judge was not bound by any statute. He was not expressing an academic opinion or making a political speech, but was declaring the law as stands today In the state of New York. He was not at that time a candidate for office, nor was his name being discussed publicly in any way. There was no political pressure behind him. He was not even acting In concert with other judges, but, sitting alone In a trial court, was free to deliver his own understanding of settled public policy. Afterward, as chief judge of the court of appeals, a tribunal of last resort, he twice settled the same point in the same way. Quoting Judge Vann’s words, he said of a contract in restraint of trade that it is not the possible capacity of the party for self-restraint, but it is the scope of the contraot that furnishes the test of its validity.” In the case of the Parks & Sons company against the National Druggists’ association he declared that neither side was trying to help the public, and added: "In the struggle with acquisitiveness but little consideration is given to those who may be affected adversely. Am I within my legal rights? is as clear to the equitable view as competitors in business usually come. When one party finds himself overwhelmed by the strength of the position of the other, he looks about for aid. And quite often he turns to the courts, even wh'£n he has no merit of his own, and makes himself for the time being the pretended champion of the public welfare, in the hope that the courts may be deceived into an adjudication that will prove helpful to him. “Now, while the courts will not hesitate to enforce the laws intended for the protection of the public because the party invoking such judgment is unworthy or seeks the adjudication for selfish reasons only, they will be careful not to allow the process of the courts to be made use of under a false cry that the interests of the public are menaced, when its real purpose is to strengthen the strategic position of one competitor in business as against another." These are the frontiers of the trust question outlined by a man accustomed to weigh his words. One of the most remarkable facts In the election of four years ago is that Massachusetts gave McKinley 40,119 fewer votes and gave Bryan 51,286 more votes than In 1896. The state had not weakened in its support of the gold standard. What, then, can account for the change? Nothing, apparently, except the hostility of Massachusetts voters to imperialism. If this cut the Republican plurality down from 173,000 in 1896 to 82,000 in a somewhat larger vote in 1900. what may it not do in 1904? Hence an enthusiastic meeting of 2.000 persons in Faneuil Hall, the old “Cradle of Liberty,” in spite of the heat and humidity, to listen to speeches in denunciation of the administration’s attitude toward the Philippines is a fact of no small significance. William J. Bryan addressed the Lincoln Chautauqua at Lincoln, where he was introduced by Senator Lawrence B. Stringer, Democratic candidate for governor. The occasion was strictly non-political, but Mr. Bryan took occasion to refer to the Democratic candidate in complimentary and eulogistio terms. He was Interviewed on the political situation by a correspondent of the Illinois State Register the same day while en route to Indiana. “So far as I can see,” he said, “the outlook for the national ticket is very favorable. It is gaining In strength every day.” Chairman Goodrich of the Republican state committee has refused to undertake the selling of Caleb Powers’ book. Powers, one of the murderers of Governor Goebel, is trying to awaken sympathy in Indtfna, no doubt, on the theory that a party which protects Taylor, Finley and others who were in the same boat, ought to assist him. The vote In Vermont has never Indicated anything in a national campaign, and the same is true of the vote of Arkansas. One is Republican, as expected, and the other is Democratic, as everyone knew it would be. Conditions In the two states, while differing in political complexion, are identical so far as adherence to party is concerned. Amoe Henry Jackson, Republican, who represents the Thirteenth Ohio district in congress, when notified by a committee of his renomination, declined to accept Amos found the Republican majority in congress more than he could stand, and will support Judge Parker and help to install a “safe sad sound” administration.
