THE matter of county training schools
will in all probability be presented to the
County Board at its special session in
June. 1t is not probable that anything
will be done thus early toward securing
one of these schools for the county, But
the more the matter is discussed the
more favorable the people will be toward
the scheme.

Is declared that the Pingree-Johnson COM
bination Is three votes short. Out of this
muddle some measure of city ownership
which will satisfy the courts as to its con-
stitutionality may yet be evolved. The De-
troit case, considered in connection with
the Chicago agitation of few months ago,
together with the recent discussion in New
York over the franchise tax proposal, indf-
Gates how keenly the people now are feel
ing over this subject of street railway
franchises. Nowhere Is there popular
disposition to give away the use of the
streets for long periods. On all sides is
there a marked tendency to demand
larger measure of return from the fran
chise holders. The belief in some form of
city ownership as satisfactory solution
of the problem is evidently gaining ground.
Clearly, the franchise question is rapidly
growing into one of the notable issues of
the period.

The Kentucky Republicans.

The one blot on the otherwise excellent
performance Of the Kentucky republicans
at Lexington Is that absurd fling at the civil
service law. WHY 1t was made is a mys-
terry for. as a matter of fact all of the en-
barrassments under which the party in that
state has labored during its four years of
power have grown out of the question of
spoils- The victory of 1895 brought bright
prospects and an exceptional opportunity
Had the party shown union and worka BILE
aggressiveness against the common enemy
the state there is every reason to believe
would have been represented in the McKin-
ley cabinet. But family row over the
spoils at once began and the note of dis
cord has been heard every day since. If
such has been the record with the civil SER
vice law protecting many places what
in Heavens name would it have been If all
the places had been open to the scramble?
For experience has shown that the more
there is to fight for. the greater the COM
motion and the more bitter the resultant
divisions.
In every other feature however the plat
form adopted is an excellent one and the
ticket nominated is strong in its personnel
and geographical selection
OF the chances of success 1t is too carly to
speak. The campaign will be the most
stirring the people of the old commonwe
have ever known. and agencies are to be
invoked wholly new there. Mr. GoebeI is
carrying himself with marked self-com-
mand- The storm raised by his nomina-
ton is still raging in certain quarters He
is under accusations more grave and irritat-
ing than ever before rested on a candidate
for governor of Kentucky. His admirers
praise his 'generalship." His opponents in
his own party describe that "generalship"
as compound of grit, gall, treachery and
ralsehood- Mr.. Goebel makes no reply. He
may be of the hope that the storm will
| blow over. He may be of the opinion that
no matter how high ii may rise he can
trust everything to his election law. At any
rate he is not now saying a word for pub

for the legislature have yet been made.
No meetings have been held for taking any
expressions on the senatorial subject. By
what authority. therefore, do the friends Of
Mr.. Martin so confidently assert that the
democrats Of the state stand in overwhelm-

from such sources that he cannot doubt
that his election is widely desired, are hard
to explain.

see Governor Tyler take the field and in

Since this agitation was first begun in Vir-
ginia the democrats Of Kentucky have held
state convention, and the only act of or
der and unanimity in a week-long saturna-
liza of lying and trickery and ruffianism was
the Endorsement of Mr.. Blackburn for the
Senate. That was intended to answer for
instructions in case Of a democratic 1egis-
lature, and to insure a prompt election by
that body. No action by state convention
being possible in Virginia this year, the
matter must be fought out at the county
