Ewing died early at Mammoth Cave,
and he was the idol of tho whig party
of that section of tho stae. There dt d,
not a great while before another young
m:in In that community who waa doubt-
less the most promising man in all Ken-
tucky, young Christopher Tompkins, llo,
too, wa* a whig and son of that Chris-
topher Tompk ns who wa* tho candidate
of the "Old Court" party for Governor In
1S93, I believe, and was beaten by Gov.
Dc sha.
I have asked many old democrats of
Barren and Metcalfe count.«s about
young Chrlstoph r Tompkins, and always
th - answer iwas that h<! was tho grcate t
man they had ever known, and politics In
hi* day was Just about what It Is now-
endowed with more than a fair share
of bell unshlrted.
When Grow flr*rt came to congress the
senate had on its rod the following-

SENATORS FROM KI'.NTPCKY.
The senators from Kentucky were
Henry Clay and Joaoph R. Underwood.
Clay died in 1852 and David Morriwether
was appointed to the vacancy. Eater the
legislature those Archibald Dixon to tho
position.
All the above are dead ;;nd It has boen
many years since th y shaped the poli-

Mr. Grow ucce«'<lfd the famous David
W'dmot in congress. Both w- re demo-
crats then, but free soil democrats like
Sumner, Chase, Tranquil and thousandi
of others who he.peil to swell the ranks
of the republican party a few years lat-
er. Grow was elected to congress three
times us a democrat and three time.- .is
a republican.
He was speaker of the Thirty- ev, nth
congress but was defeated for a seat In

THE TRUST PROBLEM.
To a thoughtful mind, the trust prob-
lem is one of serious Import. It must be
firmly grappled with, for It creeps upon
society before you arc aware of its ex-
istence, In th's respect much resembling
the various disorders which attack the
stomach, such as constipation, indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, biliousness, llvtr and
kidney troubles. Hostetter'a Stomach Bit-
ters is the one reliable remedy for all
such ailments. Bo sure to give It a trial.
