Grimes of violence in Kentucky.

Crimes OF Violence in Kentucky.
The action Of the Kentucky Court Of
Appeals in releasing a man who had been
convicted Of murder, and one who had
been convicted OF embeZzling the funds
OF the city Of Louisville, has aroused a
great deal Of Indignation in that State.
The leading journals are beginning to
ask if there is any use Of going to the ex-
pense OF sustaining courts when crimes
OF all kinds are committed with inn
punity. There are probably more
crimes Of violence committed
in Kentucky in proportion to the popula-
ton than in any other State. Texas used
to lead in crimes Of that kind, but the
best elements Of society there saw that
the State was being damaged by the great
number Of hOmicides, and they created a
public sentiment against carrying con-
cealel weapons and in favor Of
furnishing murdeTers that speedily
brought about a greatly improved
condition Of affairs. The Kentucky
press is largely TO blame for the tone Of
society there respecting crimes OF ylo-
IeDce. The unlawful shedding Of human
blood has been excused OF passed over
without comment, particularly If the
criminal happened to be a person OF in
fuence in his community. However, a
loose administration Of the criminal law,
so far as persons Of prominence or wealth
are concerned, is not confined to Kentucky.
There are hangings in some one Of the
States about every Friday, but the vic
tins are generally negroes or white men
who have no money and no influential
friends. All the murders, however, are
not committed by these friendless and
moneyIess wretches. The murderers who
have influential OF rich friends, or are
themselves well provided with money,
seldom or never pay the penalty of their
crimes. Judges and juries almost always
find loopholes through which they are
allowed TO escape. In order to let
such men escape precedent after precedent
is made, until it is about impossible to con-
Wet a murderer who makes a stubborn
defense. The COUTieT-JOUFHdi thinks that
Kentucky had better get rid Of her crimi-
nal laws and her courts and begin anew
the work of building up a criminal code.
The Judges Of the higher courts by their
decisions have destroyed the fibre OF the
criminal laws, and they are comparative
" worthless. The Judges, however,
have only responded to the prevailing
sentiment of society which encourages
the taking of human life for extremely
slight causes.

Mr.. Wicker, ex-COllector of Key West,
is authority for the statement that the
Cubans of that town are enthusiastically
in favor of Blaine, because they think
that if he becomes President adetermined
attempt will be made by this government
to get possession of Cuba by purchase or
otherwise. Mr.. Wicker says that Blaine
expressed the opinion to him that Cuba
was worth $5OO,OOO,O0O to this country.
1t doesn't seem to be worth that much to
Spain. In fact, the condition of affairs
on the island is not at all
encouraging. The sugar planters are
unable to meet their legitimate expenses
and bankruptcy stares them in the face.
Business is depressed and business men
see little else than ruin in the near future.
If the plantations do not pay with slave
labor it is hardly probable that they would
with free labor. 1t is difficult to see how
Cuba would be worth anything to this
country. 1t has two things which we do
not want-negroes and yellow fever. We
have now more negroes than we know
what TO do with, and there is no de-
sire anywhere to add to the
number. The Blaine shouters, however,
will endeavor to make it appear, doubt
less, that Cuba would be a great acquisi-
ton for the purpose of getting the Cuban
vote at Key West if for no other. There
are several thousand Cuban voters at that
place, and if the Republicans make big
effort to carry Florida the Cuban vote
will be well worth looking after. Mr..
Wicker is evidently working for rein

The Rrnun-IngalIs Episode.

The attack which Senator ingalls, made
on Senator Brown Monday and continued
on Tuesday will be generally character
lied as brutal. The Senate has been re-
aarkably free from exhibitions of bad
temper and harsh language during the
last wear or two. 1t is pity that Mr..
ingalls, could not have said what he had
to say in more decent language. 1t does
not appear that Mr.. Brown had any in
tention to reflect upon Dir. Ingalls, in any
way. He did what a great many Sena-
tors do-he revised the report of the
speech before it was sent to the
printer, and in making the revision he
wrote in some words which he thought
he uttered in debate. These words hap
pened to be susceptible, in Mr.. Ingalls,
opinion, Of an Interpretation offensive to
him, Ingalls,. Mr.. ingalls, jumped at the
conclusion that the use Of the words was
intended to be offensive, and proceeded to
make himself as offensive to Mr.. Brown
and the Senate as he possibly could. 1t
is doubtful if Mr.. Ingalls, course in this
matter brings him any applause. The
best sentiment of the country is against
such exhibitions as that which he made
of himself. 1t is undoubtedly bad prac-
tice to allow Senators the privilege of
adding to or taking from their speeches
when preparing them for the printer, but
no Senator ought to be called fOrger for
doing what custom sanctions. Mr.. Brown
NAV not have been as discreet as he
ought to have been in amending the
Record. but his indiscretiOn, if such he
committed, did not justify Mr.. Ingalls,
brutality.

A DEPUTY CoRoNERs FAMILY

A Moving Day Pageant which Attracted

$50 in the same thoroughfare, says the
New York Times of the 18th inst. There
is no special reason why Deputy Coroner
MESSENGERS change of residence should be
noted save for the interest it excited and
the crowd it drew. The crowd began
to gather when a cartman came down
the front steps of the old residence
with a human skeleton under one arm
and the framework of monkey under
the other. These were taken to the new
man carried one end of the osse-
Gus structure of a horse, and an
assistant carried the other extremity.
Dogs and cats, all in the same shad-
owy state, went over with birds and
beasts of other kinds. A live fat dog
without any spleen, and a cat with
paralvsis of the face, due to the removal
of the facial nerves, strolled over by them
selves. A pigeon which had lost the power
of co-ordinating its movements because
of the removal of one of the hemis-
pheres of the brain, and enjoyed
fiying backward when it really
wanted to go forward, was taken over
by the Deputy Coroner himself, together
with a rabbit which took nourishment
through a silver tube inserted in its
stomach, A woman made Of leather
brought up the rear of the expedition. She
refused to tell whether or not the party
was the first section of the resurrection,
or the occupants of the port forward state
room of Mr.. Noah's ark.
A rumor that the Deputy Coroner called
on Inspector Murray for detail of police
to protect him from the hands of the mob
could not be verified.

Turkeys are being utilized in California
in catching the slugs that are attacking
the grape vines. Turkeys have frequent
" saved crops from destruction byinsects
in many parts of the country. If every
cotton planter would keep large flock OF
them and turn them into the cotton fields
when the cotton worm first makes its APP
pearance, the question regarding the most
effective treatment of this destructive
pest would probably soon be settled. The
turning of the cotton worm into an excel
lent article of human food would be much
better than poisoning it with paris-green,
or allowing it to destroy the crops entire
ly. Every planter ought to be able to
raise from fifty to a hundred turkeys
every year, and make them pay a hand
some little profit on the expense and labor
they occasion,

Capt. NOrdenskjOld wants to get up an
exploring expedition to the South Pole
1t has been over forty years since the
South Polar regions have been visited by
man, and very little is known regarding
the antarctic world. While ships have
reached point within 400 miles of the
North Pole, none have been nearer than
1000 miles to the South Pole. Capt. Nor
denskjOld expects to discover a race OF
people analogous to the EsquimauX in the
Southern Hemisphere, and to open up new
whale and seal fisheries that will prove OF
immense value. He has appealed to the
British Government to tit out his eXpedi-
tiOn, and, as England always has keen
eye to business, no doubt she will comply
with his request, on the condition that she
shall have the lions share of all valuable
discoveries that NAV be made.

INC Sow York Convention.

Gov. Cleveland, it seems, has the New
York delegation. According to our dis
patches the delegation stands three to one
for him, and under a rule adopted by the
convention the delegation must vote as a
unit. With New York solid, the chances
Of his nomination are largely in his
favor. The drift of popular senti-
ment has been strongly towards
him ever since the publication
of Mr.. Tilden's letter, and there is rea-
son to believe that his popularity will
continue to increase from now until the
meeting of the Chicago Convention. If
he should be nominated for President, 1t
is very probable that Mcdonald will be
nominated for the second place. Indiana
-McDonaId's State-is very doubtful,
and. as Mcdonald is popular, he would
strengthen the ticket greatly.

Indenendent RepubIicans.

There is not much reason to expect that
the Independent Republicans who refuse
to support Blaine and Logan will succeed
in effecting an organization and nomina-
ting Presidential ticket. If the Demo-
Gratis make a ticket that is satisfactory
to them. the majority of them will, in all
probability, vote for it, and If the Demo
cratic ticket is not satisfactory they VIII
content themselves with growing at both
parties and remaining away from the
polls. 1t would be matter Of considerable
difficulty for them to effect an organization
and name a ticket. There is great lack
of harmony among them respecting the
kind Of a platform of principles that ought
to be adopted. Some of them are tarln
reformers and others are civil service re-
formers, but the refoTmers do not constl-
tute a very large majority. There Is only
one thing on which they are united, and
that is opposition to Blaine. 1t will not
do. therefore. for the Democrats to make
a nomination with the view Of catching
the independent Republican vote. To
make concessions to that vote would
show weakness and would do the party
more harm than good. What the Demo-
cratic party ought to do is to make
platform and nominations just as if there
were no dissatisfied Republicans. Asincere
platform and honest nominees will do far
more towards giving the party success
than the entire Independent vote. The
Democratic opportunity for success does
not consist in the dlsaffection in the Re
publican ranks, but in the chance to pre-
sent a platform and ticket that will APP
peal strongly to the conscience aud COM
mon sense of the people. The people
want a platform that is sincere and
ticket for which no apology is necessary.
Let the Democratic party meet this want
and many Republican votes other than
those which are classed as independent
and dissatisfied will be obtained.

Attempts to poison patients have been
recently detected at the Eastern Virginia
Lunatic Asylum at Williamsburg.
Poisoned bread was thrown by unknown
parties into the enclosure used by the
Iunaties as a promenade ground, and
several dogs died from eating it. The
poisoning Of inmates Of the Western Asy-
lum at StauntOn, Virginia, last year, adds
additional interest to this attempt. The
most plausible theory is that these ter
rible crimes were the work Of some Of the
lunaties themselves. The most thorough
Investigation by a corps Of detectives
failed to unravel the Staunton mystery.
