Nearly two years ago the MORNING
News called attention of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad Company to the neces-
sity for protecting it's passengers from
the outrages committed on its cars by
drunken roughs as the trains pass through
kentucky. The company felt that an in
jury had been done it by reference to
these outrages. and some of its news
paper apologlsts, who perhaps had an eye
TO free passes and were not afflicted with
an eXOrOitant amount of conscience, at
tempted to deny the existence of the out
RACES to which the MORNING NEWS had
called attention.
A special dispatch from Cincinnati
says that on last Monday terrible riot
occurred on a Cincinnati Southern rail-
road train at Somerset, Ky. A notorious
desperate named Thomas King and a
gang Of drunken rough boarded the train
at that point and committed numerous
! outrages. They marched up and down
the aisies Of the coaches firing of their
reVolVers and throwing whisky bottles at
the passengers. The trainmen were so
frightened that they could not be induced
to undertake TO put them of the train.
1t would not have been safe perhaps for
them 10 have attempted to do anything of
that sort. The conductor, a brave young
fellow, rs years OF age, demonstrated with
the roughs and was deliberately shot to
death. The porter was also murdered for
falling to do something which the muir
derers wanted done.
King and his gang had not, at last &C
counts, been arrested. II they should be,
1t is not certain that a Kentucky jury
would find them guilty of any crime. The
railroad company is not to blame for the
outrages which are committed on its
trains, and it is not our purpose to criti-
else it,but TO call attention to the deplora-
bic condition of public sentiment in Ken
lucky which permits murders and other
lesser crimes without exhibiting any ex-
traordinary signs Of Indignation.
If the Governor of Kentucky were to do
his duty faithfully he would see to it that
King and HE gang were punished, even il
he had to call out all the militia in the State
and spend every dollar over which he has
any authority. There is no State in the
Union where the gallows could be used to
better purpose than in Kentucky. There
Is hardly day in the year that the bullet
does not find victims there, and will con
tinue to find them if public sentiment
doesn't force the State to prosecute MUIR
derers more vigorously.

Trading on the Vanity of congressman

from me bOsJon IrdIScrfDt.
The latest scheme for squeezing the purse
pr nd Congressman is what is known as the
"crayOn racket" An enterprsing but impe-
cunious young artist Is accredited with its
discovery. There are several others working
II with him, and with Astounding success.
The Crayon racket is played some hing after
THIS style The young artist usually finds out
something about his intended victim in adj
vance. VAIN man Is particularly suscepti-
BILE. After having discovered u Congressman
with the necessary amount Of vanity. and this
is by no means difficult matter he buys one
Of his photographs, which are upon sale in
the lobby. Then by means OF the solar print
process he draws a life-sized crayon. Ten
dollars is fair price for one of these pictures.
After the crayon has been com leted he has
IT framed and takes 1t TO the capitol. The
member Is invited TO insnect IL in S commit
tee room. The artist tells him that his face is
such strong one and shows 80 much intelli-
gence that he drew it from sketches made ia
the gallery, to show what he could do. IL the
victim desires TO purchase IL he will sell it,
frame and all, for $50. In nine cases out OF
ten the combined influence of the hattery and
the crayOn gels in its work, aud the artist
makes very handsome profit upon his invest
ment.

Only a Few Grumblers.

1t is very gratifying that the disposition
to accept the result of the primary cleo
lions on the Gubernatorial nomination
question is so general. There are few
who are disposed to grumble, and who
would like TO have the cnance TO vote for
an Independent Democratic candidate for
Governor. Their number, however, IS
not sufficiently large to attract attention.
Every well informed person in the state
knows that an Independent candidate in
this campaign wouldn't carry single
county. All talk Of an Independent cam
didate, therefore, might as we'll be aban-
dOned at once; in TACT, the indications are
that 1T has been pretty generally aban-
d0ned.
The MORNING NEWS can very justly
claim mucn OF the credit for the rather
harmonious feeling that exists IN the
party after so exciting and bitter cam
paign. From the outset it counselled
moderation, and insisted that the nominee
should receive the unanimous and hearty
support of the party. 1t aimed to keep
before the people the fact that harmony
in the party was Of much more import
ance than the success Of any individual
member of it.
From different parts Of the State come
reports that generally those who opposed
Gen. Gordon and were very active in
their efforts to defeat him, are announc-
ing their purpose to give him a generous
support. At one time it looked as if the
state Convention would be stormy one,
but there is no reason now to doubt that
it will be very tame affair The ticket
which the Democratic party will nomi-
nate will be elected without trouble. In
deed, it is by no means certain that there
will be any opposition to it.
This condition of affairs must be graft
flying to every true Democrat. The con-
tinued success OF the Democratic party
is necessary TO the welfare of the State.
The State, in order to be prosperous, must
have wise and economical government,
and the Democratic party can be de-
pended upon to give it that kind of a
government.
The alleged remark OF DR.. FELTON,, that
if he had $1,000 he would run as an indie
pendent candidate, will not be received
anywhere with enthusiasm or approval.
If Maj. Bacon, with DR.. Felton's help,
ana the help of many other men more in
fuential than the doctor could not beat
Gen. Gordon for the nomination for Gov
ernor, what chance would DR.. FELTON,
have to beat MIN for the Office of Governor?
The wise thing to do now is to close up
the ranks Of the party and give the ticket
which the convention will nominate a
hearty support.

Senator Vest ought to be sustained in
his vigorous attack upon the appropria-
ton OF 100000 in the river and harbor
bill for beginning work on the Hennepin
canal. If Congress ia willing to appro-
pirate the money to construct the canal
all well and good, but let the APP
preparation be made in sepa-
rate bill. 1t is an outrage upon
every section of the country, which
has legitimate rivers and harbors to i'm
prove. to force this canal scheme into the
river and harb0r bill. There is no ques-
ton that the cost of the canal will reach
s., 900, and it may reach $4,000, 600.
The river and harbor bill can be made
only so large without exciting an cutlery
against it and endangering it's passage.
Why then should the river and
harbors, whose improvement is necessary
for the accommodation of the growing
foreign and domestic commerce OF the
country, suffer for want OF sufficient ap-
preparations in order that Chicago may
have a ditch TO carry of her sewerageS
There is no legitimate claim on the gov
eminent to build the Hennepin canal. 1t
Is wholly within the State of Illinois, We
do not, however, argue against govern
mcnt Appropriation for it,. WHAT we pro-
test against Is the putting Of the appro.
pration in the river and harbor bill.

Hon. John X. Beasley, of Chattanooga,
is not only violently opposed to prohlbi-

gambling aud lewdness. He ably sup
ports his arguments by quotations from
Thomas Paine, Henry George and others.

used TO quote from the Bible sometimes.
IT is to be feared that he has fallen from

from the devil, who is recorded as having
made some very specious arguments, and
who still makes powerful appeals to the
passions and appetltes OF men.

lieved that American Ministers do not

A Society Leader Retires.


Mrs. William Astor, says the New York
Graphic, who has, it is authoritatively an
nOunced, made her farewell appearance in
society, has been the leader pre-emnent in
the very upper circles of New York.
Though she has several married daughters,
no one OF them appears to have either the
inclination or the ndefinable requirements
that fit her for assuming the scepter Of
social supremacy. Mrs. Astors eldest
daughter was married to the only son of
the late Gen. Van Allen, whose sudden and
distressing death OH shipb1ard is still WV
idly remembered. She died a few years
ago, after having been estranged from her
parents during her short married life. The
second daughter married j. Coleman Dray
ton. a lawyer by profession and scion of a
fine old South Carolina family of greater
antiquity than the Astors. Another daugh-
ter became the wife of L, Roosevelt Roose-
welt. who figures in society as ''R0sey"
Roosevelt, and who is a prominent member
of that most exclusive of clubS-the Coach
ing club. Mrs. dayton and Mrs ROoSe-
welt occupy adjoining houses on Fifth ave-
nue. at Tbirty-iifth street. Mrs. ROOseveltS
house on the corner is a broad deep mansion
running far back on the cross street
and still further heightened by the large
and handsome stables attached. The house
is constructed of red brick with elaborate
light gray cOpings. ETC.. and is rich in
plenitude of large windows which give an
air of great hospitality and good cheer. The
residence of the Dray tons next door pre-
Sents one of the finest and most unique en-
frances and facades along that avenue of
imposing houses. The entire first story as
well as the basement is of peculiarly fine
and rare brOwnStone, exquisitely carved,
while the three upper stories are OF red
brick with elaborate stone trimmings. The
odd and beautiful shape of the windows is
distinguishing feature. Mrs. Draytan and her
husband are essentially domestic; they have
several lovely children with whom they live
much of the year at their beautiful country
place. Mrs. Marshall Orme Wilson is the
youngest Astor daughter. and everybody
remembers the Juror which attended her
wedding almost two years ago. Mrs Will
son lives in the very elegant residence given
her by her parents on her marriage. 1t is
a handsome. substantial structure of brown
stone situate on Fifth avenue just north of
Thirty seventh street. The house formerly
belonged to the late Uriah Hendricks. who
had. by the way, almost as many children
as the 0lQ woman WHO llVeu III lne SnO0.
None of the ladies of the house of Astor
are beautiful in the mere physical sense of
the word. They are all fair. with light eyes
and nice figures. and they bear, from the
crown of their heads to the souls of their
well-shaped feet, the indelble and unms-
taxable stamp of good breeding, innate re-
fnement. and all the high and good effects
of inherited blood and culture. Mrs. Will
lam AstOr has but one son. young fellow
about 90, who is still at college.
