The Portland daily press., 1889-11-16

An editorial in the Louisville Courier
Journal. written undoubtedly by Henry
Watterson, discusses the Swope- Goodloe
tragedy with boldness that is really self
sacrificing for paper published in Ken
lucky. To one bred in New England it is
inexplicable that two men like these should
have contemplated such meeting for weeks
with such GOODNESS that one at least of them
expressed concern for the dependent family
OF his opponent; and yet have taken no
pains to adjust the difficulty. Mr.. Waiter
son explains very bluntly that such affairs
happen because Kentucky is not thoroughly
civilized" There is in that State a public
sentiment that condemns the man who sur
renders the right of private vengeance, as
was illustrated not long ago by the sad case
OF Judge Reid. Judge Reid tried It," says
Mr.. Watterson, "but the burden he had
assumed was too great for him. or the men
who should have sustained him, many turned
aside; others advised him to take shot gun
and avenge his wrongs; others still ques-
TONED his personal cou rage and his Chris
tian character, and he was driven to sui
clde." In the light Of such impressive ex.
amples, it is not difficult to believe that even
among the best people Of Kentucky the
strangely perverted sentiment prevails that
physical courage is the only form of courage
worthy of respect Mr.. Watterson admits
that this is so, and declares that such en-
counters as that between Swope and Good
loe will not cease in Kentucky until moral

WIN ne recognize in any other way the right

what advantage it could be to the cause OF
religion in general or to the Catholic Church
In particular for the Pope to have temporal
power is not easy to see. Certainly the
Church itself is as prosperous as it used to
be in the days when the Popes were med
ding with temporal powers; and the Protes-
tant forms of religion have not suffered any
serious discomfort from the change.

Inc schism which occurred in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in this State
year ago on account of the cooperation OF
the Union with the Prohibition party, was
small in itself, but the cause which was back
Oh It was important enough to foreshadow
more important movement, which has now
come. Mrs. j. Ellen Foster has long been q
leader among the women of the Union, as
she is worthy of being on account of her
conspicuous zeal and abilities. But Mrs.
Foster is Republican, and has steadily re
fused to allow the Union to dictate to her in
matters OF political faith. This position sh~
still maintains, although to do u She has
been compelled at last to Withdraw from the
Old Union and join TIE non. partisan move
ment. She Is the leader of the Woman's
Cnristlen Union of Iowa, and will probably
-kakS 1t with her into the new movement.
With such movement as Mrs. Foster leads
so well under way, 1t would not be surpris.
ing If the same reasons that induced her to-
withdraw should also operate in other
States to encourage the formation of nom
partisans. In Iowa, as in Maine, the Repub-
llcan party has been conspicuous friend Of
prohibition, and Mrs. Foster is to be com.
mended for her refusal to turn against it
when 1t is paying for its fealty with politi-
cal reyerses. The Prohibitionists of Iowa
owe all they have ever obtained to the Re
publicans; and the ladies of the National
Union weuld have done we'll to have remem-
bered this.
