The deadlock in the Kentucky State
democratic convention, which had been
in session at Louisville nearly week
was broken Tuesday night by the nom-
inaton of Goebel on the twenty-sixth
ballot. The opposition forces were
weakened 10y a motion from their side
to adjourn the convention sine die. and
refer the gubcrnatorial nomination to
the State central committee. This
motion was supported by both Stone
and Hardin, but it was not put to a
vote, as the chairman ruled it out of
order, and, OH the succeeding ballots.
Stone and Hardin showed lack of
ability to control their followers. The
convention showed determination to
make q nomination by adopting a no
ton to drop the hindmost candidate
after the twenty-lifth ballot. The
Stone and Hardin forces opposed this
resolution strenuously, but inefcct,l-
ally, and. in accordance With it, Stone
was dropped and Gocbcl nominated on
the next ballot.

THE CHANGE IN THE CIVIL
SERVICE RULES.

The orders of President Cleveland in
1896 were of the most sweeping kind, and
they brought into the classified service
and under the competitive system almost
every federal office to which that system
could possibly be made to apply. Some
inconvenience, doubtless, resulted. For
example, it does not seem unreasonable
to allow high officials full discretion in
selecting their own private secretaries,
when one considers the vastness of the
discretion in other directions that they ex
ercise in the performance of their ordlna-
nv duties 1t might as well be acknowl-
edged that the competitive examination
system is, in many respects, an awkward,
tedious. and an absurd way Of selecting
public employees. But there are serious
reasons why its adoption was necessary
in the United States. And it will CON
tinue to be necessary until there shall
have arisen new generation of politi-
clans completely wcaned from the notion
that public offices are Legitimate rewards
for party or personal services. The Nc
Kinlcv administration would have done
better in our judgment, to have put up
with all the Inconvenience and to have
enforced the rules as they stood, without
taking Il single step in the backward I'll
rcctinn The country is not disposed to
believe that the public service was really
being harmed at any point by the opera
ton of the merit system, or that any
higher efficiency in the performance OF
public work will now actually result from
this extensive modification. The only
hearty praise thai the order has received
has come from avowcd adherentS of tt
spells system. An order of that KIND
ought not to he made unless in conse-
quence of some clear, strong, and we'll
considered demand fer it, backed up by
body of DISTINGUISHED opinion. But where
was the demand in this instance? Prcsi-
dent Mex inlcy's own board of civil service
commissioners was not even consulted, 1t
undenicd reports may be believed. Those
Republican newspapers whose support of
the administration Las been most sincere
and valuable have rs rule, condemned
the order as contrary to the Presidents
own record and pledges and to the posi-
ton of the party on the civil service

THE PRESIDENT
MUST NOT MEDDLE.

This is what Senator Wellington
has to say in regard to the suggest, d
candidacy of Ex-Postmaster. G enel Il
Gary. In an interview published in
the Baltimore Sun of yesterday, the
Senator uses some of the emphatic
language for which he is noted.
Among other things he said:
"Concerning the purposes of the
Administration regarding myself,
have no hesitancy in saying there
should be no opposition from any
branch of the National Administration
to my leadership in the campaign in
Maryland. l cannot think the Nation
al Administration intends to NEEDLE in
State politics to the detrimcnt of any
of its friends. l have stood by the
Administration in many of its difficult
ties during the past two years and
have never failed to give my support
when it was needed at important june
lures"

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

In about 4 month the state Demo
cratic Convention will meet to nomi-
nate State ticket, composed of can
didatcs for Governor, Attorney Gener-
al and Comptroller, and our county
ticket will also, in all probability; be
nominated the first of August. The
issues of the state campaign will be
formulated 10y the convention. There
will be several which will appeal
strongly to the people.
In our local campaign the important
issue should be rctrcnclment and re-
form in the management of county
finances. Our taxpayers are unneces-
sarily burdened. They demand better
returns for the sacrifices they make to
maintain the local government of the
county. Great complaint is being
made Is to the manner in which the
roads are being worked. The condi-
ton OF public feeling is getting to be
such that a change will he inevitable
before great while. If the Demo
cratic party in this county can give
assurances of 4 more economical and
judicious expenditure of the peoples
money, and spirit of harmony can
prevail in the party councils, there
may lie good reason to expect success
for the ticket. There is no room for
dissension in the Democratic party
Eere. We want all the enthusiasm and
vigor that can be infused into the Or
ganization. Useless contests NAV be
deferred for a more convenient and
propitious season. The Democratic
party is out of power in county, state
and nation. Nothing can rescue it
from continued defeat except strict
adherence to the cause of good govern
mcnt. The personnel of the candi-
dates will also count something in the
local campaign. The party must, there
fore, be careful in the choice of the
local ticket Let the men measure up
to the principles and the measures that
the party will advocate
We trust there may be no desturb-
ing clements in the county convention
The good of the party and the welfare
of the county ought to form the ami
mating spirit of its members.

ward drift of life. The farmers in the
State of Maryland today, need badly the
protection which law would give re

to purity and terminating power of seeds,
and lastly, for the present, an incorpora-

that instruction in our public schools be

This requirement can be carried out with
out material interference with the present

in A griculture, and as one who has studied
carefully the value of the Agricultural.

to my brother farmers, that we have to
take to our agricultural work the same

Railway and Electric Light Trust which
has been buying up nearly all of the street
railways and all of the electric light
companies OF Washington, to become its
President, and announced his early re-
sumption of his duties as Military Cover
nor of Santiago. lnasmuch as General
Wood was fresh from Il conference with
Mr.. Mckinley when he made that an
nouncement, it is inferred that he has re-
ceived some definite promise of further
prcferment of some sort, if he will remain
in the army. He is now 4 Brig. General
of Volunteers, but that pays less than one
fifth of the salary offered him. His rank
in the regular army is what it was when
he was made Col of the Rough Riders

Engineer Corps, every man in the
company responded. All wanted to
go to the philippines. The men
