KENTUCKY INAUGURAL.

Yesterday the Hon. James B. Nc
Creary, Governor elect of Kentucky, was
inaugurated in Frankfort. A procession
paraded the city. 1t was composed Of
State Misunderstanding and elect, munich
pal officers Of Frankfort, military, fire
and police organizations, visiting delega-
lions, and dignitaries of the city and
State. The occasion was observed In an il
lustrious manner. Gen. d. w. Lindsey Of
6ciated as Chief Marshal, assisted by Gen.
Fayette Hewitt, Hon. w. II. Sneed, Gen.
Scott Brown and Capt. +. II. Taylor,
The ceremonies took place in Capitol
Square. Rev. j. II. Nesbit offered the
opening prayer, which was followed by
an address from the mayor Of Frankfort.
The introduction of the Governor-elect
by the retiring Governor then occurred,
and after an address by the former, the
oath of office was administered, supple.
mented by patriotic music and salute Of
artillery. A benediction by Rev. Green
Clay Smith closed the exercises, after
which the Governor was conducted to the
Executive Office by the Ex-Governor, tho
Mayor and the committee Of reception.
A large number of Louisville people and

THE NAN WHO WAS KILLED

The CHASTITY. hideOus sight of post
mortem examination was presented to lis
last night in all its realities. Storiass
the black man killed by Lane. lay stretch
ed on board In the cabin of negro
woman. The surgeon had laid wide
open his stomach-and heart. lungs, liver,
and all the vital parts were exposed to
the view Of the eye. Blood ran In rivu-
lets, and gathered in pools on the
floor. while the hands Of the surgeon
were busy searching for the bullets
that had so speedily ended the life Of the
unfortunate man. A dim light made the
scene more CHASTITY, and when the men
assisting the surgeon turned the dead
body on its side blood swashed down
upon the floor like water. We are of the
opinion that such scenes-necessary, we
know-should be conducted with more
privacy. We had no particular business
there ourself, and will certainly never
have any business whatever ia such
place again under similar circumstances.

The Church and Education

The Catholic World discusses, in its
usual vigorous manner, the rights OF the
church over education, setting forth what
the Roman Catholic conccives to be the
rightful authority of their church In this
respect. ut Is our duty" says the
writer In announcing his subject, ito OPP
pose o the pagan error that the State Is
master Of education the Christian truth
that the church alone Is endowed with
the pc wcr to educate the young" This
assumption the writer forces to its ex-
IRENE limits, claiming that in public
schools. created and supported by the
State, the primary school shall be kept
denominatlonal, and that all the schools
attended by Catholic children, shall be
| open to such instruction as the Catholic
clergy shall direct. This Is one of the
coming questions, and 1t is well for those
who do not accept the church dOgmas TO
know what they will have to contend
with when the time is ripe tor the conflict.
