A New Phase OF the Kentucky sena-

A New Phase of the kentucky Sena-
torIaI Contest.
It was thought that the last had been
heard Of the Kentucky Senatorial contest
when Congressman Blackburn was elect
ed Senator. There is, however, to be an
investigation of charges that large sums
of money were paid 10 members of the
Legislature for their votes in that contest.
Nobody seemed to doubt, at the time the
contest was going on, that great deal Of
money was being spent by both Williams
and Blackburn. the chief contestants,
but it was not publicly, and, perhaps, not
privately, limited that it was being cor
ruptly spent. Both contestants enter
tanned their friends in a lavish manner,
and it was frequently remarked that the
canvass Of neither of them was being con-
Quoted on very economical basis. 1t
will probably appear on investigation
that the charge that votes were bought
rests on a very slender foundation. Sena-
tor Williams has money, and could have
afforded perhaps, if he had so desired, to
nav for help. but Blackburn hasn't the
reputation OF being man of even mOder-
ately large means. If he bought
votes the money must have come
from a source other than his pocket.
However, charges of corruption are made
nowadays in connection with the cleo
ton of a United States Senator in almost
every State. In some instances, no doubt,
the charges are true, but they are not
generally true. The fact that so many
rich men who have little to recommend
them for the position of Senator get into
the Senate helps to create the impression
that seats in that body must be bought.

The House Committee on Railways has
reported a bill which contains a nice little
scheme. 1t provides for the construction
and operation of ship canals between
Lakes Union and Washington and Puget
Sound. in Washington Territory. son
its face it makes no appropriation of
money. 1t authorizes the Washington
Improvement Company to construct the
proposed canals and to impose and col
lect, for its own use. tolls and charges
upon every species and character of COM
merce, vessels and passengers, passing
through the canals or any part thereof
The bill also gives the company exclusive
right to purchase, at 81 Is an acre, all the
swamp, submerged and oyerfiOwed lands
in and about Lake Samawish or Squawk
lake and Lake Washington and their trib-
utaries, except on that arm of Lake Wash
ingtOn known as Union bay, which shall
be reclaimed or uncovered by cOnstruc-
ton Of the canals, and the lands reclaimed
in and around Lake Union and Union BAY
are donated to the company" The pros
pect that such bill will get through the
House is so remote that it is hardly worth
considering. 1t is hardly probable that
Democratic House would create such
monopoly as this bill proposes to
create. The hackers Of this bill are one
Congress too late.

The same spirit which compelled staiwart
Legislature against its will to refuse ylndl-
cation to Conkling and Plat, and which de-
feated Fdlger by i92, GOO majority, is stronger
among the Republican voters of this state to-
dav than it ever was before. Both the Arthur
and the Blaine |bOomers" have encountered
it within the past week or two, and It has had
a very subduing effect upon them. They nave
stopped talking about the Republicans OF the
State ''rising as one man. for any candidate,
and are merely assuring the world that any
good nominee will be sure OF receiving the
united vote of the party. The great truth

Cold Tea Together.

Mr.. Carlisle paid Mr., Ranney a high
compliment near the close of the last
Congress by telling him to his face that
he considered him the ablest lawyer on
the Republican side of the House.
Mr.. Ranney, having for some time re-
garded Mr.. Carlisle as the most distin-
guished lawyer among the Democratic
members, was able to cordially return
the compliment then and there.
A few minutes afterward they were
seated together in tie House restaurant
partaking of cold tea.

The Louisiana Delegates.

The Republicans of Louisiana have
nominated delegates to Chicago, who are
for Mr.. Arthur if Mr.. Arthur has any
chance of getting the nomination. In
any event, they are tor whoever
Mr.. Kellogg is for, and it is pretty
certain that Mr.. Kellogg is
for whoever can do him the most good. In
the main. the delegates are Federal Off
cials. and those who are not are closely
allied to those who are. There is not one
of them that will not obey Mr.. KellOgg's
slightest wish. tits pretty certain that Mr..
Kellogg will handle that delegation in Il
way that will help him to get clear of
that annoying Indictment in Washington.
1t is probable that the Republicans of
every Southern State will follow Louis
lana in indOrsing Mr.. Arthur's admins
tration, and that about all the delegates
will be chosen in his interest. 1t is no.
ticeable that the Louisiana Republicans
put a State ticket in the field. The ticket
is made up of about the best material in
the party. One Of the nominees, however,
turned out to be Democrat, and has an
uounced his intention to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. 1t stands no chance Of sue
cess. however, and was doubtless nomina-
ted for the purpose of helping the electoral
ticket. The Republican leaders have some
hope. it seems, of carrying that State for
President. In good time they will dis
cover that this hope is grOundless.

The citizens of Somerset, Ky::, are DIS
posed to emulate the example of the
New Jersey jury that found a murderer
''not guilty, if he would leave the State"
a short time ago a man named TroXtill
and two brothers named Carter were
tried for what was regarded as a cold
blooded murder. The people of the
neighborhood were firmly convinced of the
guilt of the accused, but, contrary to all
expectations, they were acquitted by the
jury. On Wednesday over 100 of the
best citizens of the county formed an or
ganization and served a written notice
on the alleged murderers to quit the State
at once or suffer the consequences. Trox-
till had already departed, but the Car
tiers refused to leave and prepared them
selves for a bloody defense in case they
should be attacked.

A interesting prohibition case has just
been decided by the Supreme Court of
Tennessee. 4 man named Boyd rented
the bar privileges of the steamboat City
of Nashville. which navigates the Cum
berland river. He obtained the usual
license from the State and United States
authorities and sold liquor Hereunder.
The river, however, at one point passes
through a prohibition county where no
license is recognized by the authorities.
Boyd was indicted for selling without
license and convicted in the Circuit Court.
He carried the case up, claiming that he
only sold on the boat while under way,
and was not liable to the local law. The
Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of
the court below, holding that the law ap-
piled as much to the river and boats rum
ming thereon as to the land.

The Chicago Tribune pretends to be-
lieve that there is a scheme on foot in the
Southern States by which 1.-The Demo-
cratic and Confederate Legislatures in
tend to take away from the people the
right to choose Presidential electors, and
proceed between now and November to
appoint the electors by legislative vote"
1t is claimed that this can be done under
the strict letter Of the provision of the
Constitution Of the United States, which
prescribes the manner in which electors
shall be chosen. The Tribune lashes it.
self into a fury on the subject, and makes
it the preteXt for a blood and thunder
editorial in abuse Of bourbOnism. The
fact that no proposition of the kind has
ever been mentioned IN the Legislature of
any Southern State, and that they every
one have statutes in pursuance of their
State constitutions providing for the
choosing of electors by a vote of the
people. goes for little with the Tribune.
If that paper has no regard whatever for
truth, it ought to give its readers credit
for some degree OF intelligence and COM
mon sense.
