IT was while Judge MuLL1aAN was
speaking that the State House floor
began to wobble. This is a great
compliment to the Judges powers Of
oratory, and we leave faith in his
ability to shake the capital over to
Lexington. In the language OF
TANDY HUaHRs, ''the Judge is q hum

is for him to keep pegging away at

IT looks az il the State officers in
connection with MASON h Co., are
determined to bully the Legislature
into dismissing penitentiary Warden
SOUTH. The Board dismissed SouTH,
who went to work and secured the
sympathy Of the Legislature; the
Governor and the other members Of
the Board standing too high on their
dignity to endeavor to have their
side of the case presented to the
Legislators. Now that SoUTH has
been vindicated by the Legislature
the convict lessees hasten to an
nounce their determination Of throw
ing off on their contract, well know
ing the situation in which they
thereby place the State, and doubt
less relying on this as means of
compelling the Legislature to turn
SOUTH out. The Governor suddenly
aces the perplexities of the situation
and delivers message to the Legis-
lature describing its horrors il
graphic language. He doubles
knew all the facts just as
well month ago as he does to-day.
and the withdrawal of Mason & Co.,
coupled with his message, seems to
convey the plain hint that the Leg
stature can do only one thing, snd
hat is dismiss South.
The question is tough one. II
the Legislature does not want to
iouble on its record, it can provide q
''ticket- -of-lsave" law, which is about
all that is left for it to
10. This would be an expert
ment that would be watched
with decided interest, but it i.
the only visible way out of the di,
lemma 1t is the penalty for incom-
petent and botchwork Legislation,
and is notice to the people that they
will best serve their interests by
electing good and judicicus men to
he Legislature hereafter.

ministrstion in carrying its policy. The
