Ciaily Democrat WHISKY ANDTBMPEKANCEIN KENTUCKY There are many distilleries in this part of the country, and a great deal o! whisky is made. I am not defending whisky, at least any that is less than thirty years old and has attained a medicinal quality. But I want to express my opinion tht tills Is as temperate as any region in the United States. There is a wide-spread strict tem perance sentiment, and even prohibition prevails to a considerable degree. Whisky is made and stored, and mostly shipped away ; rightly or wrongly, it is regarded as a legitimate businesslike w heat raising, and is conducted by honorable men. I be lieve this to be the truth.and that drunken ness does not prevail in the neighborhood of the distilleries, nor did I 6ee anywhere in the country evidence of a habit of dram drinking.of the traditional matter-of .course offering of whisky as a hospitality. It is true that mint grows in Kentucky.and that there are persons who would win the re spect of a tide water Virginian in the con coction of a julep. And no doubt in the mind of the born Kentuckian there is a rooted belief that if a person needed a stimulant, the be.t lie can take is old hand made whisky. Where the manufacture of whisky is the source of so much revenue, and is carried on with decorum, of course the public sentiment about it differs from that of a community that makes its money in raising potatoes for starch. Wljere the hoise is so beautiful, fleet and protitable,of course there is intense interest in him, and the general public take a lively pleasure in the races ; but if the reader has been ac customed to associate this part of Kentucky with horse racing and drinking as promin ent characteristics.he must revise his opin ion. Charles Duuley Warner, in liarfer's Magazine for January. It is said that Gen. Harrison is kindly disposed towards Gen. Longstreet. If Gen. Longstreet could have had his way at Gettysburg the probabilities are that the most important political matter before this section of the country at present would be the selection of a Minister to the Southern Confederacy Ex-confederates who have turned to be republicans have always fared well at the hands of the republicans, and it is proper to say that Longstreet would do no discredit to any position which Mr. Har rison may call him to fill. But the point in the whole matter is, why should repub licans take such a different view between theii party putting Confederates in office and the demDcrats putting them in office. The Philadelphia Record h the follow ing detail of labor prices connected with the shoe manufacture. It is that in Lynn, Mass., the labor cost of making a lady's button boot is 25 cents, against 61 cents in Frankfort, Germany, 57 cents in Berliner cents in Vienna.and 63 cents in England. Yet in Lynii women earn in making the boets $7 per week and men $12, whilst In Frankfort wages range from $2.16 to $3.60 for woien,and .$4.3J to $7.20 for men ; in Berlin $4.So to $7.20 for men ; in Vienna $4.40 to $4.So for women, and $4.30 to ?o.6o for men, and in England, from $3.60 to $4 32 for women, and $6.72 to $S 40 for men. It is in the shoe manufacture as in other business the world over. The best paid labor is the cheapest. Tl2 New York and Pennsylvania oil fields, where so many fortunes have been made and lost wilhin the last thirty years, are rapidly becoming exhausted. Their former yield of over 103,000 barrels per day has fallen off to less than 43,000 bar rels.ond the great Bradlield section of oil yield in Pennsylvania, from which 140,000, 000 barrels have been taken, is now almost completely run out. Explosions are being made and wells have been sunk, some 500 or more, in Ohio, West Virginia and West ern Pennsylvania with hope of return, which has not to any great extent been realized as vet. If glass dishes and tumblers and other articles of that ware are put into a kettle and covered entirely with cold water, and the water is allowed to boil quickly for a short timc.and if the kettle is then removed from the stove and placed in a cool spot until the water has become cold.the articles will be so toughened in the process that they will not break easily. Keep the ket tle covered tightly until the water has had time to cool. The result of Secretary Whitney's enterpris ing administration appears in the rapidity with which our country is recovering Unrightful place among the naval powers of the world. During ihe year 1S90 the United Slates will rank third in number and fourth in tonnage of armored cruisers of nineteen knots speed, and over 1.500 tons displacement. Great Britain will he first with 16 vessels, and 71,450 tons displacement, followed by Spain, 9 ships, 56,400 tons, by Krance with 14 cruisers, 48,80010ns, and then the United States with 12 ships and 41,033 displacement, Italy comes next on the list with 7 vessels and 16,600 tons.
