FROM EX-GOV. LEEDY.
He Discusses Kentucky Situation in
Characteristic Manner.

Ex-Governor John w. Leedy is home
from Missouri visiting his family at
Lawrence. Discussing the situation in
Kentucky on the train yesterday the
ex-governor said:
The news from Kentucky is very
distressing, but Taylor is simply fol-
lowing out to its natural conclusion the
general policy of the element that con-
trolls the big corporations and trusts. So
long as the courts decide in this ele-
ment's favor, we'll and good, but the
minute the courts fail to do this there
is trouble
The Democrats seem to have be-
haved admirably and kept strictly
within the law, in spite of the greatest
provocation to meet violence with vio-
lence. They will. think, win even
tually. Taylor is in a false position and
can not long maintain himself. It's
black ahead for him"
Liable to land in the penitentiary?"
was suggested.
tiary" calculated Governor Leedy
crisply.
He went on to say that, so far as he
had been able to inform himself, under
Kentucky law the legislature had full
power practically the court of last re-
sort. It's decision must be accepted.
1T isn't material to claim the legis-
lature was prejudiced, acted unfairly,
on partisan lines. That even if true,
would not be adequate excuse for a re-
been prejudiced judges on the bench.
The highest court in the land has re-
Versed itself in a most remarkable way
But its decisions must be Obeyed. AS
I am informed the Kentucky law leaves
the decision of a cont sted gubernator-
ial election to the legislators. That de-
cisiOn is final. There is no appeal pro-
vided for. Contestants have to take
their chances of prejudice, exactly as
all of US have to take the same chan
ces in courts. Probably no man is ever
satisfied that courts decision against
him is just. But he mustn't on that
account get out his guns and go to
shooting.
THE Kentucky situation is really
quite similar to our troubles with the
insurance companies. The companies
you remember attacked our conten-
ton that the insurance commissioner
was clothed by law with final and par
amount authority. They went to the
courts and they were beaten. We had
been right. The Kentucky legislature
is placed much as Webb McNall was.
It will be triumphant, I think exactly
as he was and for much the same rea-
SON.
Governor Leedy said, when asked as
to Kansas politics, that he was a mi
ner now
"Out of politics altogether?'
"Wel1, I don't know as to that
shall probably have some friends I'll
want to help. They helped me. What I
meant was I'm looking for nothing for
myself. and I have not been following
the situation except in the most casual
way"

e'DON" MUSTERED OUT.
Veteran Fire Horse Drops Dead at
the End of Long Run.

Don, the chestnut sorrel horse on the
hose wagon at station No. 2, fell dead
this morning just after finishing a run
to q fire.
An alarm was received at 9:15 call
ing the department to box 49, The
chemical and hose companies turned
out of the station at the same time.
Don was to all appearances in perfect
condition. He made an excellent run
to a chimney fire, at 1881 Dillon street,
mile away and within a minute after
the fire was reached Don fell in his
tracks and died in less than a minute.
His death is attributed to the ruptur-
ing of a blood vessel. He was Il years
old and had been a fire horse since 1892
and was known as one of the best
horses in the service. All that the fire
men have as a remembrance of the
faithful animal are his shoes which will
be kept at headquarters.

MARINE ENGINEERs, STRIKE.

Many people who wandered along
Water street yesterday wondered
where were all the lows of black dia-
monds about due from Pittsburg. In
stead of the fine stage of water being
black with coalboats it was almost de-
serted. Few could realize the cause.
But there is a strike among the marine
engineers, which is largely responsible
for the situation.
It may not be known generally that
the first engineers of the towboats re-
ceive from 500 to s125 per month, de-
pending upon the trade they are in,
which continues the year round; while
the second engineers receive from $65
to SIS per month This wage lasts
only for the time the boat is under
steam. When she is laid up the second
engineers pay ceases, while the first
engineers pay goes on. The conse-
quence is that the former gets pay
for three to four months in the year.
These second engineers ask for an in
crease to $500 per month for the time
actually employed. Surely not an ex-
orbitant demand when one realizes
how small is the wage aggregate in
the course of a year. 1t certainly
would be a difficult job for man to
provide decently for his family on such
an amount annually.
Why the great coal trust would
stand out against SO reasonable and so
just a demand is beyond our ken.
There are over 3O,0OO,OOO bushels of
coal afioat at Pittsburg with a ready
and advancing market at Cincinnati,
Louisville and other ports farther
SOUTH the winter is almost on us and
the river liable to freeze up at any
time, and here is a good coalboat stage
of water passing away, and barely a
solitary tow of coal leaving Pittsburg.
We opine that the strike cannot long
continue under such conditions and
that the engineers will win out. Ger
tainly, if we have the right end of the
story, they ought to.

of stealing an Express Package.
Special to the RegfsIe-
MARIETTA. Ohio, November "a
sensational Oberly case, which has
been on trial here during the entire
week, came to an end tonight. when
the jury returned a verdict OF not
guilty, after being out four hours. The
case was exceedingly peculiar. J.. G.
Oberly came here from Cincinnati and
accepted position as baggagemaster
at the Union depot In September,
1899, package containing S2S5 was
missed by the United States Express
agent at the depot Marshall ]. H. Dye
went to Oberlys house and returned
with the money. Oberly went on the
stand denying that he ever gave Dye
the money or confessed. as alleged, and
the corroborating evidence was more
than sufficient to clear him. The jury
disagreed on the first trial. when the
defense impeached the marshars tes-
timony. oberly was jubilant over the
verdict and took the entire jury to the
Auditorium theatre.

MUCH NEEDED REFORM.

In these days of popular and praise
worthy endeavors by the best elements
of our own and other communities to Sc
cure at least some degree of reforma-
ton in official circles through the Sc
lection of a more conscientious class
to places of public trust, power and
responsibility, attention is naturally
attracted to several collateral matters
equally deserving of attention and ac-
ton. One of these relates to the man
ner of selecting grand jurors in this
State The law at present contained
in Chap. 1877 of the Code is antiquated,
wrong in principle and idea, and not
productive of good results, and its
speedily elimination from the statute
books is something greatly to be de-
sired.
In Sec. 2 of the law as it stands 1t
is provided that not less than 100 nor
more than $50 jurors shall be drawn
from among the freeholders of the
county, chosen from the various mag
isterial districts as nearly as may be
in proportion to population, and who
are in other respects qualified TO serve
as Jurors, and are not constables, keep
ers of hotels or taverns, surveyors of
roads, nor owners or occupiers of steam
or water grist mills" There are sever
al points of objection. In the first
place, the limitation of number is a
ridiculous one, in that no distinction
is made between a county having six
or seven thousand population and one
having fifty thousand. One hundred
and fifty is the maximum number for
Ohio county, with $4,000 people and
for Kanawha with $4,000. The number
should be increased, and be in proper
ton to the total population of the
county as ascertained at each decen-
Mai census, and any man qualified to
serve as a petit juror ought to he
equally competent to serve as a granc
juror Again, the list of those now ex-
empt is ridiculous. There was a time
when it was proper for the public con-
venience to exclude from such service
hotel and tavern keepers and owners
or occupants of mills, but that day
has long gone by. On the other hand,
