Of folly in restoring Cetewayo without giving
him force of English soldiers to keep MIN On
his throne.

IT. was forerone conclusion that Mr.. j. Proc
tor Knott would be elected as the Democratic
Governor of Kentucky. The only points OF
interest therefore about the election we're the
size of the majority and the decision OF the
voters In regard to holding convention 10
revise their State constitution. Bourbon rule
has been so bad In Kentucky during the iast
few years that there was hope that the
Democratic vote would be cut down. Inc
returns are not yet all in, but the majority ID
apparently nearly at the usual fgures-aoout
$4,000. The plan TO revise the constitution also
has been defeated, since majority OF the citl-
Gems in the State did not vote for It, rms is
to be regretted. The fundamental law OF Ken
tucky is about as bad as it can be. Although It
is bound to be changed some time, the delay Is
discouraging, since it is a perilous hindrance
to the development of the State. If the Ken
tucsians can stand it, however, the rest OF the
Union need not feel greatly disturbed.
The members of the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor have begun their In
vestigation of the condition OF the working
classes in the right way. The tour through
the tenement-house districts in this city yes
terday must have brought to their attention,
better than anything else could have done,
many evils which it is desirable to remove
from the lot of the very poor. But it is such
facts as the committee found in Mott and
Chatham SITS. that will prove the most
valuable to them. The workings Of some OF
our laws affecting labor and capital can best
be studied there. The condition OF the
laboring classes occupying the houses erected
by the Improved Dwellings Association in the
upper part of town is the result of the enter
prise and the active benevolence of good
people. 1t Is not statutory, and what Is more,
it can never be brought about by the opera
ton of law alone.

HYpOcrlsy.

Minneapolis Journal (Windom) Mr..
Dunnell has just as much right to run for
Senator as Mr. Window. He has just as
much right to leave his public duties at
Washington and come home to work for
his own election as Mr.. Window had, and
no more. 1t makes no difference whether
Mr.. Window comes reluctantly" or not,
so long as he comes. Perhaps Mr.. Dun
nell came with equal reluctance. He
knew at the start that his own chances
were desperate-a fact which Window
learned later. If Mr.. Window had sup
posed at the outset that his election was
doubtful he would have been on the
ground as soon as Dunnell was, and would
probably have saved the day by doing so.
Mr.. Dunnelps friends can claim that the
interests which MFR. Dunnell came home to
protect are just as legitimate as those
which Window comes home to protect.
The fact is, all this talk about the sin and
enormity of a Congressman or Senator
coming home during the session to lock
after his political interests is sheer cant.
Mr.. Window will not beyapt TO attempt
such an ultra virtuous role again in hur-
~. The fact that he comes home at all
shows that he was simply posing for ef-
feet under the impression that he had q
sure thing. The public, however, failed
to appreciate the goody- goodness of his
attitude. He did not gain . single vote
