A Department of Commerce and In
dustries would doubtless facilitate the
work of government considerably. I'm
der the present administration, how
ever it would simply give the trusts a
firmer and more definite hold on the
government and direct representation
in the cabinet. The trusts already have
the latter, however, for every member
of the cabinet is or was a trust attor-
ney or subject to trust influences.

surd and wild Republican claims and
threats.
How different is the behavior Of the
Democratic leaders of Kentucky! They
make no extravagant claims and are
not threatening to engulf the State in
civil war if their candidate is not seat
ed. They are simply awaiting results
to be determined by due process OF law
and express themselves willing to abide
by the result, whatever 1t may be.
That, while sanguine of success. they
are not assuming the foolish and vic
ious Republican attitude of cock-sure-
ness is shown by the following cool,
businesslike resume of the situation by
the chief Democratic paper-the Lou
isville Courier-Journal:
Nothing developed yesterday concerning
the result of the State election to change
the situation as explained in the Courler-
Journal yesterday morning. Nor is there
any prospect that the present suspense VIII
be relieved until the State Board OF Eiec-
ton Commissioners has canvassed the re-
turns and decided all contests. The official
returns from three mountain counties are
still missing. but the number of votes in
voved is of relatively small Importance
compared with the number of votes that
depend upon the settlement of contests.
M e enesas On o e state t4s
Mr.. Taylor is seeking 10 obtain an order
of court to compel the Nelson county cleo
ton Officers to TO- revise TIER e retu ns IN ms
upon all contests the situation viii remain
as at present-Goebel having a plurality of
the uncontested votes, Taylor about an
equal plurality of the contested votes, with
enough votes contested to turn the scale
either way.
This is in refreshing contrast to the
senseless, vicious attitude of the Re
publican leaders and speaks loudly in
favor of the honor and manhood of the
Kentucky Democracy, which, while de-
handing no more than its lawful
rights, is evidently fully prepared to
maintain that demand to the full.
The attitude of the Republican
leaders there reminds one forcibly of
the similarly revolutionary and vicious
conduct of their brethren in West Vir-
ginia during the late session OF the Leg
islature, when their threats were so
loud and reckless-or their game Of
bluff so successful-that the Democ-
racy to preserve order, prevent blood
shed and maintain at least the sem
blance of republican government and
the good name of the State abroad, con-
scented to compromise with fraud and
injustice.
We trust that our Kentucky Demo-
cratic friends will not consent to be
similarly victimized, but will stand by
their rights to the end and insist upon
the supremacy of the law. We do not
believe the Republican leaders of Ken
tuck are so desperate as to attempt to
Ecite civil war, or that the present
Republican incumbent will carry out
his silly threat to seat the Republican
claimant by the armed force OF the
State militia, regardless of the decision
of the Legislature and the law. Ii
this sort of thing is attempted it will
mean the end of the Republican party
in Kentucky and the leaders OF that
party know it.

A flour trust has been established in
the South to control the output and
regulate prices. Of course we know in
what direction the prices of the staff
of life will be regulated by the trust.
1t will not mean cheaper bread.

ment have as last resort bit upon
this desperate expedient.
They threaten either one OF two
things-to cut down the representation
of the Southern States in Congress one
half, or make the vast and dense mass
of ignorance in the Southern "black
belt the dominating political power in
the South!
While the South may be perrurbed
over the possibilities of the situation
the Democracy may rest content and
allow the Republican leaders to carry
out their suicidal programme as far as
they may-for it will never be carried
to successful fruition-we have too
much faiN in the patriotism of the
North, which defeated the force bill, to
believe otherwise. 1t will do more
than the more powerful campaign
the Democratic National Committee
could wage to make Democratic sue
cess assured throughout the entire
South in 1900. These periodical at
tacks upon that section never do the
Democracy any harm, while they tend
to maintain inviolate and inviolable
the political solidity OF the South,
which naturally will split UP on 9TH
er issues.
We believe that all fair-minded and
intelligent Republicans IN the North
appreciate that it would be nothing
less than crime to enfranchise the
whole dense mass of black ignorance
at the South without preparation for
the intelligent exercise of the suffrage.
During the reconstruction period, the
South doubtless would gladly have con-
scented to a reduced representation in
Congress and the electoral college to be
relieved from the horrors of negro
domination and carpet bag rule. Then
was the time to have acted in this mat
ter-not now, thirty years after the en-
tire social, governmental and CONNER
cial systems of the South have been
established on the present basis.

CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR.


State Senator Beaver Makes the Announce
msnt-Treasurer Kendall Goes 10 SEQ
Freer.
Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, w. Va, November
17.-Senator j. F. Beavers. of WEIGH,
Mcdowell county, came up from Hun
tington to-day, where he had been on
business, and while here made the an
nouncement that he is candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Aud
iJor. Senator Beavers is one of the
most popular Democrats in the State
and is hustler of no mean ability. At
the last election, he led the ticket in
every county in his Senatorial district
but one-Mercer. the home of Judge
Johnston, who was running for Con-
G ess. Concerning his candidacy, he
said:
II am out for the Authorship and
expect to be out for it until after the
Democratic convention meets More
over, I think we have an excellent
chance to win next time if we nomi-
nate the proper men for the entire
ticket"
State Treasurer Kendall left for Har-
risville, Richie county, yesterday, to
be gone several days. While Kendall
gives it out that he is merely off on a
visit to his old home, there is a we'll
defined rumor that he goes chiefly to
confer with Congressman Romeo H.
Freer, who has been pushed to the
front lately as gubernatorial posi-
bility The intimation is given that
F'reer has developed such strength in
his party that Kendall deems it i'm
portant to draw his attention to the
wisdom of joining issues and swapping
influence to the end that Kendall may
grace the ticket as the candidate for
treasurer again.
There has been considerable talk in
some quarters lately about Warren
Miller, of Ripley, Jackson county, as
Republican candidate for a supreme
court judgeship. Miller is in Charles
ton now, and his presence and asso-
Citations in this city lend color to the
report that Miller is willing and at
least little anxious for the honor.
