THE KE<TUCKY DECISION.

Commissioners Ellis and Pryor, of
Kentucky, have set an example in
the conscientious discharge Of duty
that elevate them in the estimation
of all good men, and ought to prove
Statutory upon other politicians of
the country. Though rabiG Demo-
Gratis and violent partisans of Goe-
bel, and though they earnestly
hoped to secure testimony sufficient
to seat the Democratic candidate for
Governor, they felt compelled under
the law and the evidence, as they
found them in canvassing the vote
of the State, to award the certificate
Of election to Taylor, the Republi-
can candidate.
They did this in spite of trem en-
dous pressure to the contrary,
brought about by the inscriptions
partisans of the defeated candidate,
who now are denouncing the cleo
tion commissioners as traitors to
their party; because, fOrsooth, they
chose to decide for justice sake
rather thaa for political advantage.
To such men might alone max as
right, and they hold it as contempt
bic weakness for a politician to have
any scruples about political theft,
fraud or robbery. There are as
many of these political degenerates
in one party as another, perhaps,
and if they were not restrained by
such men as Commissioners Pryor
and Ellis have proven themselves
to be, they would rob elections of
their last vestige of justice.
Mr.. Ellis statement of the reasons
that impelled him to the decision in
Taylor's favor, il an index to the
character of the man, and shows
him to be one of those strong ma
lures that can neither be bent noT
moved, save at the dictates of their
own sense of justice and honor.
The point on which his decision
turned was the fact that the laws OF
the State of Kentucky did not allo y
the Election Commission to go be-
hind the election returns; these re-
turns showed beyond all cavil that
Taylor had received the majority
and, therefore, the commission
could not, without doing violence tC
their sworn duty, take any other
course than to deliver the certificate
TO the Republican aspirant.

turns; il may be they have righI

CARMACk,s HONORs.

The Advancement of Richardson
TO the leadership of the minority in
the Lower House of Congress is
hardly more of a compliment to him
than to his chief lieutenant, Hon. e.
w. Carmack. Mr.. Carmack was the
field marshal of the Richardson
forces in the strenuous struggle for
the coveted prize. He threw him
self into the contest with his char
acteristic ardor and ability, and for
a week or more, while the decision
hung in tho balance, was in the
thick of the fight for the Tall Syca-
more of Middle Tennessee, and with
tireless energy and consummate skill
bent every energy OF mind and body
to the accomplishment of his pur-
pose.
1t was a repetition of his expert
ence in every political battle that he
has led, either for himself or for
others. 1t seems the fate o. this

the effect Of his victory for Rich
ardsou is to make him the chief
lieutenant Of the leader OF the mi
nority in the Lower House. Such a
distinguished honor, coming to a
representative at the beginning OF
his second term, is unprecedented in
the history Of that distinguished
law-making body. It is all the
more remarkable in the case Of Mr.
Carmack, because his contest with
Patterson for his seat was not de.

THE NANE OF ANOTHER NERO

Fame is epheme"al. A Kpling
reaction is apparent in the fact that
his latest book, "Stalky & CO -
published about two months ago.
does not appear in any nf the hook
sellers lists of the popular books %
the season, either in this country or
in England. A year ago the an.
nOuncement of new book from
Kipling was hailed with the most
eager interest. The most 6attering
notice was given to the veriest
scratch Of his pen Kipling was so
popular that It was considered very
bad taste not to admire him, and to
criticize him adversely WAS little
short of sacrilege. Only a few
months ago, when the officers Of "A
Sunday school in a Methodistchurcb
in Indiana refused to allow some Of
KipIil g's works placed In their II.
btary, they Were rOundly abused by
certain newspapers Of the country
for such an indecorous action. The
argument against admitting them
to the library was made on the
ground that they were coarse and
profane, and therefore, unfit for
chiIdren's reading, while his ad-
mirers assumed that nothing infe-
rior could c"me from Kipling's pen.
1t the books were vicious in their
tendency, they said, they treated Of
real life, and, therefore, the bows
should become acquainted with
them. Such was the mania for X ip.
ling that they drew no lines between
the good that he wrote and the bad
that he also wrote. They took it for
granted that as the author was
genius, the books should be accept
ed without question. The quasi
literary productions that he had
sent forth, syndicated for political
purposes by the imperialistic pow
ers, were so adroitly advertised and
eXtolled that the easily
lmpressionable public were SO set
aflame with admiration, that the
possibility of doubt as to the merits
of anything he wrote was not ad-
mitted. Bat, the ruth has dawned
at last, and the world has realized

AN EXAGGERArION.

Exceptions are taken to General
Methuens prOnouncing the battle Of
MOdder river the "bloOdiest Of the
nineteenth century" He evidently
did not mean what he said. He used
that strong term to impress the pub
lie with a sense Of the desperate ma
ture Of the engagement. The state
ment was not true, but as nobody
was deceived it simply stands as an
exaggerated use Of words. No doubt
there was heroic fighting done, and
the British won the day; but at "A ter
rible cost, for the lives Of 43S men is
a great sacrifice to make i'm single
battle. But compared with some of
the great battles of the century, the
battle between the British and
Beers at Modder river was a very
small battle indeed.
Near the beginning Of the nine
teenth century one Of the decisive
battles of history was fought at
Waterloo, Who that has read Vic
tor Hugo'5 account of that battle
can forget it? Or Thackery's match
less description of it in Vanity Fair?
But the plain facts of the battle are
graphic enough to picture the awful
carnage. The loss to the allied
armies under the Duke of yelling
ton was %, 1855 men. Waterloo was
the blcodiest battle Of the century
as far as England is concerned. :.
The great numbers engaged and
the obstinacy and determination
with which it was contested entItle
it to rank as a great battle, and the
dead left ola the battlefield would
surely designate IL 20 p bloody bat
lie. At Balaklsye hi ono charge

thtn fell Id ten hoprs fighting at
Modder tier, when the 81. hundred

1t is not supposed that General
Methuen was thinking of American
hlstor" men ne reported his battle.
A reference to one out OF the many
desperate battles in the war between
the states is sufficient to show how
Americans fought and the immense
sacrifice of life that was made our
ing that war. Take the decisive
battle, that OF Gettysburg. The mem
were literally nown down, and the
dead and wounded were numbered
by tens of thousands. TT Is to be
hoped the world will never know
another such battle. As the nine
teenth century closes its record and
passes into history as past age, the
optimist may see hopeful signs for
the future.
While war machinery is we'll nigh
perfect, the nations dread war more
than ever. Where there is mortal
combat, havoc Of life and limbs
the horrors of it strikes the mind SC
forcibly there is recoil from the
very name Of war, AID the blood
spilled on the battlefield is valued
at dearer price than ever before
so that the battles of the CLOSING
century seem scores of times more
bloody than comparative histor!
shows them.

Maltby, who arrived here yesterday
from Dawson, was 10 months on the
Edmonton trail route. With about 100
other prospectors, he wintered at Wind
City. When he left in January IS men
were sick with scurvy. He heard in
March that DR.. Mason, Of Chicago, and
W. Gouchie, son OF a Chicago banker.
were dying. There were about SO men
stranded there scurvy stricken and
frozen. E. II. Harris, Of Hamilton, had
both feet frozen and they were ampu-
tated at the ankles. All would have
been well If the Indian guides could
have been induced to navigate beyond
the divide, after reaching Windy
City, but there they stopped, say
ing that savages, ten feet high,
roamed through the mountains and
crushed men between their thumbs and
fingers and ate them up. The Indians
reported several parties lost in the
mountains. These men will never be
heard Of again. 1t was after the In
dian guides left them that they strayed
into the section Of the country where
there was no fuel and there froze TO

delivered into the hands of the Mexican
authorities for trial. The case OF Mrs.
Rich has attracted wide attention, par
ticularly along the border, where citi-
zens have protested loudly against the
extradition Of an American citizen to
Mexico. The fact that in this case the
citizen Is woman has greatly intensi-
fed the objection to the procedure.
John D. Rich was the son OF
a prominent banker Of Dodge City,
Kan, and courted and married
his wife in Chicago during the
worlds fair. They went to Ciudad
Juarez, Mex, opposite this city, and
engaged in merchandising, she furnish
