ALL those people of Ohio county
and of the other counties of the
State who love fairness in elections,
can congratulate themselves upon
the operation of the Goebel election
law, as illustrated at the last general
election. 1t affords absolute fair.
ness to all parties. During several
elections previous to the last one, the
election machinery of Ohio county
was almost entirely in the hands of
the Republicans. The counting and
verifying of the votes was largely
in the hands of the Republicans.
The appointing Of election officers
was entirely in the hands of Re.
publican, and this same Republican
and two other Republicans verified
and gave out the returns. Could
anything have been more partisan?
And this was the condition of affairs
in every county in the State which
afforded Republican county judge,
sheriff and clerk. The Goebel law,
under its worst construction by its
enemies, could not be worse than
this. One Republican and two
Democrats now handle the returns,
and the election officers are equally
divided between the two parties. II
was under the old law that more
than forty precincts in Louisville
were without a Bryan officer of any
XII nd in the last Presidential election.

If those Fox alley editors don't be
good, the Goebel law will get 'em.

The Republicans will no doubt
postpone holding their State Conven.
ton until after the Democrats have
selected their men for State offices,
and they will be guided in a great
measure by the selections the latter
make.

While Eating Supper.

WILLIAMSBURG, KY, March 3d.
Albert Burns, q farmer near Della, WAS
struck by Lightning and instantly killed
last evening. He was eating his supper
when be was struck. The bolt tore a
large hole through the top of the house
and demolished the table at which he
was sitting. Several members Of the
family were present at the time, and IT
is q singular fact that none of them was
injured seriously, though some of them
were thrown to the floor by the shock.

BLIND JUSTICE, who holds the
scales in the courts throughout thi:
judicial district, has been forced tc
draw the band more closely across
her eyes, not for fear of the de-
cisions of the court, but hide to from
her sight the shameful spectacle
that met her gaze. The fact that
the one whom she most depended
upon to assist her in the defense OF
the right and the punishment of
wrong, was lost to her needs in
season of unseemly revelry, was
quite sufficient to cause the fair lady
of the courts to avert her eyes in
shame. There are few people in the
district who do not recognize in our
Commonwealth Attorney an able
official in the discharge Of his duty,
when he is not handicapped by liquor
in fact, he has few equals any
where in his sober capacity. But
the people feel that they have been
Inundated. He was elected
upon a strict pledge of sobriety,
but often has he broken that pledge.
No man in Kentucky stands higher
in the estimation of the people when
he is himself, but that other self thai
breaks out in him sometimes, is be-
coming burdensome to the public
and to his friends.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. Ex-Governor
Richards this morning took steps in the
matter Of securing free train for the
Wyoming volunteers which insures the
train. a number of towns have raised
funds for the purpose, but the aggre-
gate amount il was seen would be
wholly inadequate to pay for the train
which will cost in the neighborhood of
S13, 900. To make the matter absolutely
certain, Governor Richards this morn
ing arranged to get $4,000 from the city
banks to pay for the train. The notes
to secure the fund are being signed by
prominent business men of the state
In order to make the transaction who'd
ly devoid of politics, the first signers on
the notes were Judge ]. A. Martin,
chairman of the Democratic state COM

1t is expected the next state legislature
will reimburse the signers of the note,
but if not, they are prepared to pay for
the train.

ADMIRAL WATsoN's ILLNESS.
Result of An Accident to Him at
Cavite On July II.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The Army and
Navy Register, in its issue tomorrow,
will say: Recent letters from Manila
mention the illness of Admiral Wat
son as the source of great anxiety to
his officers. The illness is the effect of
an accident which occurred to his
launch while he was on board on the
18th of July. The Baltimore, his flag
ship, had been for some time at Ca
vite, leaving Manila so as to escape the
full force of the typhoonS.
Desiring to make a trip up the river,
the admiral started in his launch. A
strong wind was blowing, and as
the launch, the Undine, went under the
bridge over the river, known as the
Bridge of Spain, the strong current,
aided by the wind, set against the little
boat and she was taken out of her
course and thrown against a hawser
from sailing vessel. This rope car
ried away the awning and, striking the
smokestack, took that also.
Admiral Watson, sitting in the for
ward part of the launch and witness
ing the full danger of the accident,
showed no conscious appearance of
having been startled excessively by the
occurrence, or in any way of having
suffered by it. Later, however, in fact,
before his return to the flagship, SER
consequence he was regarded as ex-
tremely ill up to the date of the let
ters of the 18th.
No one but his physician is allowed
access to him, and all business of the
fleet is forbidden. 1t is hoped. however.
that the enforced quiet may restore him
to his previous health

PROTESTS AGAINST SEIZURE.
Owner of Ship Charged With Car
rying Arms to Filipinos.

rylnS Arms TO fl1plnoS.
Washington. Aug. 25.-The navy de-
partment has received a protest from
w. F. Sylvester of London, one of the
owners of the ship Abbey, seized by
Admiral Dewey on the charge of carry
ing arms to the Filipinos. He stated
that he is about to come to Washing
ton to contest this seizure, on the
ground that the Filipinos were the
allies of the United States at the time
these arms were shipped.
At the same time the state depart
ment. through Consul General Goodnow
at Shanghai, has prosecuted an inquiry
into the shipment of the arms, and a
report is now before the department.
Based on the report, the state depart
ment is preparing a letter to the navy
department which will be the ground
for further proceedings The owners of
the Abbey have retained counsel here
to look after their interests. and he has
filed a number of papers, both at the
state and navy departments, and called
today to submit documents in the case.
The qualifications Of the Abbey seiz-
ure are engaging the attention of the
state. war and navy departments and
promise to have some interesting Sc
quels. 1t is said at the state depart
ment that the action taken as to Consul
Bedlow, our representative at Canton,
is because he certified that Mr.. Sylves-
ter was an American citizen, and on
this the Abbey secured registry.
A letter Just received here from Con-
sui Bedlow states that he is on leave
of absence and is on his way home via
San Francisco.

DEMAND HIGHER WAGES.
Threatened Strike In the Union Iron
Works at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 25-About half of
the forty pattern-makers employed by the
Union Iron works have gone out on
strike because a demand for an increase
of % cents a day in their wages, made
several weeks ago. has been refused. The
men assert that they will have the sup
port of the various associated labor bod
les in this city in the movement, and con-
fidently declare that the men of several
other departments of the iron works will
lend their support to insure the success Of
the strike, should this become neces-
sary.
The scale of wages for pattern-makers
at the Union Iron works has been 50. Is
per day. The same rate formerly prevail
ed in the foundry. Recently, however, the
wages of the foundrymen were raised and
the pattern-makers now demand similar
increase. The iron works at present are
rushed with work for the government
having on hand the building of the battle
ships Ohio and Wyoming. as well as three
torpedo boats. The managers assert that
the scale of wages paid is on a par with
that of any similar institution in the
world.

MINERS TO ORGANIZE.
Those In the Anthracite Regions
Urged to Form a Union.

Wilkesbarre Pa, Aug. 2--Ine Cnileu
Mine Workers of America are endeavor-
ing to organize the anthracite miners,
whose union collapsed twenty years ago.
A convention was held here last night
with delegates present from Lackawanna,
I,uzerne. Columbia, Schulykill and Car
hon counties John Mitchell, the national
president of the United Mine Workers. OF
Indianapolis, was present as was also
the national secretary. A. E. Pearce-
Mr.. Mitchell addressed the delegates at
length and urged them TO follow in the
footsteps of the bituminous miners and
organize. He believed that the state of
the anthracite market would stand an in
crease of wages, but the only way the
miners could ever hope to secure an in
crease was by thorough organization. Mr..
Mitchell could not see why such an or
ganiZation could not be effected in view
of the fact that the anthracite coal field
was compact.
Secretary Pearce in his address told of
the prosperity of the United Mine Work
ers' organization, and urged the men of
this section TO get under its banner. The
delegates held a long secret session later,
but il could not be learned what business
was transacted. 1t is understood that the
United Mine Workers will aid financially
the men now on strike in the anthracite
region.
