CURRENT COMMENT.

The American Bar Association VIII meet
this year at Buffalo. n. Y, on August
18th. The annual address Will be delivered
by United States Senator William Lind
saw OF Kentucky. the subject being THE
Power Of the United States Under its
Constitution 10 Expand It's Territory. q"
As the United States Government Is now
engaged in a war OF conquest. and as the
question of expansion Is now one OF The
liyest issues OF the day, the discussion OF
this subject by the leading lawyers Of
the country will be attended with pro-
found interest. II Is TO DO hoped that the
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1899-08-18

question will be discussed upon It's merits.
and that partisan politics viii be ex-
cluded.
In discussing Richard Cookers latest
interview. the Kansas City Star says:
"The fact that Croker said Bryan is a
good man and friend Of the people in
dicates only THAI he knows he may have
TO accept Bryan. To take It for granted
that Croker is for Bryan without reser-
walton would be 10 80 too far Croker
Is sincere as to what he believes VIII
win, not as TO what he believes IS right.
A leader stands for principle, regard
less of present success. a boss stands
for success regardless Of principle
That Is a correct and comprehensive
view OF the professional politician. He
is pre- -ennnenuy man OF expediency.
One OF the worst things tina. we have
seen in print concerning Nfr. William
Goebcl, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Kentucky. is the following
from the louisville Dispatch:
His fame as a lawyer rests princi-
pally upon a successful speculation IN
personal injury cases. For several
years. it IS said, no accident occurred
within q radius Of a number Of miles
Of Covington. but that GOebel was i'm
medhtelv notified and a runner prompt
ly dispatched TO secure the case. The
unfortunate victim Of the accident g.
induced 20 sign a contract 10 give Mr..
Goebel half the amount recovered and
the magnanimous friend OF the poor Ia
boring man graciously essays the role OF
unrclenting foe Of corporations.
II does not speak well for the Dcmoc-
racy Of Kentucky that such man
should be pat forward as its standard
bearer. and the State Of Kentucky would
not be honored By having such man
as its Governor.
