A MADISONyHLE CODE.

Ii 1t is possible for a lynching to
snow humorous phase. the case Of
Mr.. Brinkley, Of Madisonville, KY, pos
sesses the comedy element. 1t is not TO
De expected that the lighter aspect Of
the affair appealed to the victim, who
In the graphic language of the news
dispatches, was dangled by his neigh
pors on general principles" but as Mr.
Brlnkley is mostly dead, his feelings
may be passed over to view the tragedy
from the standpoint OF those who still
Hnger in this vale of tears. The offense
for which Mr.. Brinkley was so abruptly
translated by his fellow townsmen was
a general reputation for worthlessness !;
serious crime against social order,
1t must be admitted, but one difficult
TO establish excepting where Lynch,
d., rules on the character Of the evil
dence to be admitted. 1t appears that
murder was committed, and, in the
absence Of any definite information,
Brinkley was hanged promptly; both
way, and because respect for law is too
firmly grounded in the minds of the
citizens of jacksonville, KY. to per-
init of a capital crime going unpun-
ished for more than few moments.
Nothing could have made the opera
bouffe tragedy more gruesomely ridic-
ulous, with possibly the exception of
mass meeting, presided over by the
county judge, to pass resolutions of
respect and regret at the departure Of
prominent fellow cir1zen
1t Is the moral makeup of Madison
vile that lifts the shadow of death that
should hang heavily over so sad an
affair. Righteous Madisonville, law
abiding and law-loving jacksonville
ready to stain its hands with murder
rather that to temper it's mock justice
with mercy. 1t is evident that the
civilization of Madisonville is too ad-
vanced for this wicked world; it's SEN
timents are too fine and too sensitive
for country suffering under a load of
sin. For Madisonville sanctified and
holy, an individual penal code is need
ed, code that will recognize it's gen.
tleness and do justice to it's collective
beauty Of character. Beginning with
hanging at the hands of a gentlemanly
could be graded up through the various
stages of crime. Boiling in oil would
be ample for Tuntruthfulness burning
atythe3 stake following naturally as the
remedy for associating with evil COM
panions. The lingering tortures of
starvation could be expected to atone
for the crime of chicken stealing. No
brutal jailers nor hard-harted sheriffs
would find place in so beautiful a
judicial system. Kind and loving
neighbors would execute the humane
and corrective punishments.
While the world has been struggling
with the problem of the criminal,
jacksonville, jacksonville the obscure
in the commonwealth of Kentucky.
seems to have solved the problem.
Kindness mingled with firmness is the
key note of the theme that will make
society one long and lovely harmony.
Mr.. Brinkley, who, for all the world
knows to the contrary, still bangles,
unfortunately is not able to lift up his
voice in enthusiastic testimony, but
the rest of creation can hail tho baDn,,
solution with reverence and awe.

THE BARGAINS CoNsUMMArED.

At 4:07 o'clock yesterday afternoon
in great affairs it is we'll to be precise
the president signed the tariff bill which
congress had passed an hour before,
signed it with a gold pen that Will be
duly preserved, and the Dingley-Ald-
rich-Jones & Co. 5 bill became an act.
The agony is over and several bargains
are consummated.
F'irst N Cr5e- of priority were the ante
convention bargains made by Mr.. Han
ma when he was canvassing the middle
and New England states for funds with
which to carry on the preliminary cam
paign. This, it will be recalled, brought
forth a vigorous protest from
Senator Chandler and a subdued one
from Senator Quay, on the ground that
he was invading their territory. In
return for the contributions then made,
it was understood that certain sched-
ules in the prospective tariff bill were
mortgaged to those mostly interested
in them. The hearings show that the
mortgage was presented for payment;
the bill that there was due accep-
lance, and now redemption is made and
the bargain ended.
Next in order came the contamination
of the larger and more important bar
gains made after the convention and
with larger and more varied interests
for room on the ground floor of the bill,
whereby a large portion of the several
million dollars that went in and out of
the Hanna campaign treasury box was
contributed in consideration Of favors
to be granted, privileges to be allowed.
1t was the scant concealment given to
these bargains that gave to President
Cleveland the occasion and cause of
his remark to Seth Moillikin, after the
election, that This is no place for a
mortga ged man" The mortgages Han
ma placed are now redeemed; the bar
gains are all consummated, and the
benefciaries will now proceed to reap
the fruits of their investments.
But there is one incomplete bargain;
two IL fact. One is that the displace-
ment of the present law by one more
protective would so increase the reve-
nues that there would be no deficit and
no issues of bonds to replete the dimin-
ished gold reserve. The public will look
on expectantly to note how the same
means that, seven years ago, reduced
revenue and produced deficits VIII now
reverse the process. That bargain re-
mains to be completed. The other was
that made with the voters to present
them with a prosperity equal to that
of 1892, in fact, to restore that, if they
would make the enactment of this bill
possible. They accepted the offer and
await the fulfllment. Farmers will wait
for produce prices to advance; manu-
facturers for a rising market; Iaporers
for higher wages; merchants for great
er trade, and everybody for the fools
paradise promised them.

CHANGING STREET NAMES
Final Report Of the Special Committee Of the
Clty Council

City Council
The special committee of the council
appointed to confer with the commits
sioners for changing and revising street
names, yesterday completed their final
report, and filed the same with the city
clerk for presentation to the council
Tuesday. 1t is as follows:
Your special committee appointed to
confer with the commission having in
charge the changing Of street names
throughout the city, for the purpose of
jointly entertaining the various protests
and objections to the ordinance pre-
sented by said commission, beg leave
to report as follows:
1t is a matter of felicitation with your
committee that the gentlemen compos-
ing the honorable commission received
them in such spirit of willingness to
do all in their power to adjust the diff
ferences which existed. The patient,
forbearing disposition evinced by the
members of the commission in the pres
ence of misapplied personalities and ir-
ritating criticism based upon misappre-
hension of the commissions motives
calls for the highest commentator on
the part of your committee. From this
brief experience your committee can
form only an imperfect idea of the try
ing ordeal through which the commits
sion passed in its various deliberations
extending over a period of six weeks,
and it is our pleasure to here attest to
the painstaking manner in which they
performed the work in hand and to be-
speak an expression of thanks from your
honorable body, and the citizens gen
orally, for the self sacrificing devotion
of these worthy gentlemen to a gratu-
itous public service.
The very nature of the commission s
work invites opposition and it is not
surprising that objections were raised
to some features of the final ordinance;
your committee was impressed with the
great need of the reformation in street
nomenclature as well as the CAREFUL
