Senator Jos. Ii. Earle is quite

. The protracted deadlock over
tbe election of a United States
Senator in Kentucky to succeed
Senolor Blackburn,has at last
been broken by the election of
Wm. J. Deboe, a Republican who
is almost unknown. The* end of'
this famous struggle which has ex-',
tended oier two legislative session j
will go into history as the most!
memorable Ketftnckv has ever
known. It has cost the State
over $100,000 to select a Senator 1
making him a costly Injury. . The
new Senator is a gold standard ad
vocate. <
Our Indiaotown correspondent ,
calls attention to the fact that all {
along the road from Indiantc'wn
postoffice to Khems, the road is in
a bad condition. People are
allowing their plows to runout;
into the road and cut it up.making;
comfortable travel almost an im-!J
possibility. Supervisor Chandler!
has more than once spoken to us
pn this subject, and he says he
finds it very difficult to get the
township commissidners to bring J
the offenders to justice. Plowing j
jdito the road is a very unneces- r

sary evil, and Oue that could be
easily stopped. If an example
was made ot one or two men who
practice this evil, we believe it
would tend to greatly reduce the
practice. Not only sliould the
plowman be punished, but the
owner of the farm who allows
the acts committed.
There has always been questions
raised as to whether it would
i.c uei'tT 10 eicci c uiieu ouites
senators by a direct vote of the
people or by the legislature, as is
now done. The election of sen
ators in this State and in Georgia
by a primary (a direct vote) last
year, and the recent prolonged
deadlock in Kcntuckey, and the
one how on in.- Florida furnishes
the very strongest argument in
favor of a direct vote.
By a direct vote of the people
the cost is Very little?in fact, it
J V *
does not cosf. one cent as there are
always other elections to be held
at the same time, and a seperate
box could easily be placed at the
voting precincts for a senatorial
vote.
In the primary elections before
mentioned held hist vear, the
candidate was practically elected,
as the legislatures in both States
were overwhelmingly democratic.
True the man elected in Georgia
never reached the United States
senate, but that was an act of
Provideuce, and not the lault of
the direct vote.
In the legislative election just
closed in Kentucky, the contest
lasted through two sessions of the
State legislature, cost the State
about one hundred thousand dollars,
caused many charges of
fraud and corruption to be made
against one of Uie most prominent
i%aiiriiridtpa and vuriniis mpmhpr*
ol the legislature, and forced the
Governor to appoint a senator
till the legislature could make!
a selection.
Many arguments cot^^ff^J?
"Out VrTTavor of a direct
vote for the election of United
States senators, but no more need
be, as the 'elections in the four
States named have shown conclusively
that- an election by the
legislature is not the best.

The registration books were

There are numbers of white voters
