THE CONTEST IN KENTUCKY.

4 OEBEL'S supporters have decided to continue
the contest in Kentucky, and to that end have
issued an address which is lurid enough TO
revive all the antagonsms OF the most heated part Of
the campaign. This document, which emanates from
the chairman and the executive officers OF the Demo
cratic State Central Committee and the State cam
paign committee alleges as grounds for dispung the
action OF the Election Commissioners that the Repub-
cans used tissue ballots in violation OF law that the
Republican Governor called out the National Guard
election day and by military force placed unlawful
inspectors and challengers in the election booths,
that Federal and State Judges interfered with the
elections by issuing every injunction and manda-
asked for by the Republican party" and finally
that the railroad corporations OF the State furnished
the Republican party with an immense corruption
fund by which thousands OF votes were bought and
cast for the Republican candidates
These are grave charges, and since they have been
put forward by men holding responsible positions in
politics they should be investigated There is no rea
son why the Republican candidates should fear the
outcome OF judicial inquiry The election was con-
Quoted under law devised by Goebel himself The
machinery OF his construction and was de-
signed by him to enable the Democratic party to
count their in matter how the people vote
The methods made use OF by Goebel to force his
nomination upon the party caused the better ele
nent among the Democrats to revolt. and it is 70
that fact his defeat has been attributed If now his
supporters wish go into the courts and have the
tactics OF the campaign exposed and reviewed the
Republicans should certainly encourage the move
ment
The action OF the Election Commissioners satisfies
the public that the Republican candidates were legally
elected. The commission is Democratic in its make
up and was popularity regarded as part OF the Goe-
bel machine. The fact that majority OF board so
composed was forced by the evidence submitted at
the hearing grant certificates OF election to Repub
can candidates is proof of the justice OF the Repub-
can claim
An appeal to the Legislature may have the result
OF obtaining from that body reversal OF the action
OF the board and Goebel by that means NAV succeed
in getting possession OF the governorship 1t will re-
quire, however, good deal OF partisan assurance 20
induce the Legislature to overrule the action of the
Election Board and it is for that reason the support
OF Goebel have forth such extravagant
for the proposed contest Nothing less than charge
which combines allegations OF ballot-box stuffing
government by injunction and military dictaton at
the polls will even in the minds of Kentuckians
flushed with Bourbon justify the unseating of Gov
Taylor for the purpose OF putting Goebe in the
office.

WAR AND COMMERCE.

THE Seattle Post-Intelligencer criticizes Andrew
| Carnegie because he opposes the war upon the
South African republics. That is all right. If
an American newspaper choose to support the fan
tastic claims OF Great Britain it has that privilege.
But the Seattle paper sets up new apology for war
in the abstract which has, perhaps the merit Of
originality Mr.. Carnegie having ascribed the posi-
ton of England to lust for dollars, his critic says
Commerce is fostered by lust for dollars and it has
in It's qualification wrought more misery and cost
more lives in peace than all the wars
Upon this statement we call for bill OF particulars
While it is true that in the pursuit OF all vocaons
there is risk to health and therefore liie it is also
that lie may be abbreviated by doing nothing
all. Indeed, il is quite probable that the average
length OF life would be shorter il the en-
tirey idle and never felt the wholesome impulse
toward exertion for the betterment OF its economic
condition.
To the impeachment OF commerce reads like a
solemn warning against going TO bed, because more
human beings die in bed than out.
Those who lose their lives in commerce voluntarily
accept its risks and hazards for their benefit and
it will be hard prove that the fatalities anywhere
/ near approach in number the victims OF war.
AT time when the worlds commerce was carried
by peaceful caravans and rude ships Genghs Khan
,nade war and, in a not long career as a commander,
]
all the accidents and fatalities resulting from COM
merce, from the days OF the nomads until now, can
equal that slaughter OF one lifetime
1t will be admitted that commerce is a mere
s for dollars 1t has its origin in the physical neces
sites OF man, all value has its origin in human de-
sire. 1t belongs the natural state OF man. In no
sense does it resemble warfare. 1t does not imply
the plunder OF one for the benefit OF another In its
essence it is an exchange OF the products OF labor in
which both parties the exchange make equal gains
for each makes an equal saving OF time. which is
money.
In moral code, written in any of the world re-
lieons, IS commerce denounced as wrong while the
most OF them deplore unrghteous
Ethics does not justify putting the two on level
They are wrong only when they enter into partner
ship A war urged by the desire to exploit people
against their will for the benefit OF commerce is es
peciaily unrighteous But such are cases in which
commerce goes outside its legitimate path and seeks
beyond its legitimate purposes. 1t is then as If
man use his own latchkey to gain unlawful entrance
TO his neghbors house; but the key is therefore
TO be denounced-only the to which it is put

sumption. We think il is not successfully demon

known as "The Shenandoah Mining Co., has
been chartered under the laws of West Va

which is made mp of capitalists from Phila-
