MUSICAL.

This evenings concert, under the aus
pices of the Woman's Musical Club, at the
Carroll Club Auditorium, promises to at
tract a very large audience, and to be ex-
ceptionally satisfactory from musical

gramme last evening were futile, but LII

subscribed ten times over, England is
prepared to press the South African
Republics indefinitely. The resources
of these tiny governments are well
nigh exhausted and the dwindling
Boer forces are now fighting desper-
ately to hold their capitals. The
English, cheered by recent victories,
are slowly driving them back with
sickening slaughter and the end seems
almost in sight.

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

The further bloodshed that yet may
result from conflict of the forces OF
the lawful government of Kentucky
with the blind and ignorant despera-
does from the mountains who are
backing Taylor's usurpation of author
ity, will, every drop, be on the heads
of Taylor and the political despera-
does who are supporting him in DEFY
ing law and order.
The Legislature and the courts have
decided Gov. Beckham the legal gov
ernor of Kentucky. The law has been
most fully complied with on the part
of Democracy and Gov. Beckham.
These decisions make Taylor moth
ing but a revolutionary usurper-an
outlaw, together with those who are
backing him in his anarchistic
methods
Such being the case, it is plainly the
duty of the legal government OF the
State to assume legal control of at
fairs as soon as possible, and this Gov.
Beckham is doing.
To enforce his orders and protect
the peace from the outlaws, the new
Governor has enlisted State Ma
tfonal Guard, and the response to his
call has been met by spontaneous
uprising of the best citizens of Ken
lucky, regardless of party. They are
firm, earnest men who are deter
mined to hold up the courts and law
and order, to say nothing Of the good
name of the State, with their lives If
need be. Opposed to them are Tay-
lor's ignorant and half-civilized CO.
horts from the moonshine district, and
that portion of the military that would
respond to Taylor's orders.
If Usurper Taylor persists in his
mad attempt to override the law these
forces will surely soon come together,
and when they do blood will flow like
water. Kentuckians are desperate
fighters and almost every man a
marksman, and in this instance each
side believes itself firmly in the right
-Taylor's ignorant mountaineer
henchmen having been fed on all sorts
Of wild yarns as to the purposes of
the Democrats, the least of these
stories being to the effect that the
Democracy proposed to take away their
civil rights and disfranchise them.
In fact, these hairy outlaws have been
led to believe they are fighting for
their liberties.
Not less determined are the intelli-
gent citizens who have enlisted under
the lawful government to preserve law
and order and government by the peo-
pie as we'll as the institutions and
honor of the State of Kentucky.
Blame for the bloodshed that may
follow will be on the head of Taylor
and the revolutionists of the Republi-
can party of Kentucky who are with
him.

PUERTO RICO AND PRECEDENT.

PUERTO RICO AND PRECEDENT.
1--WE should leave ourselves free to
deal with each case as it's own merits
demand. The claim which insists that
free trade goes by legal right to
Puerto Rico would bind us hand and
foot"
This is one statement in the justifi
cation of the Puerto Rican tariff
which "a member of the cabinet" has
issued "authoritatively."
This absurdly weak argument is
the strongest advanced in favor of the
Puerto Rican tariff.
Aside from the violation of the Con-
stitution in the establishment of dis
eliminating duties between different
portions of the territory OF the United
States, the argument quoted above is
absolutely foolish, and self-contra-
dictory. If it would bind us hand
and foot" to give Puerto Rico free
trade, then by the same token it must
bind us hand and foot if we estab-
lish tariff duty against her, and we
will then have no choice as to
whether or not we shall place a tariff
duty on Hawaii, and if it is demand
ed we must, according to this enlight-
ened cabinet official, place a tariff
against all of our territories not yet or
ganized into States!
Such an argument falls of its own
weight.

is to be hoped that Council will ac-

hands so that it could not release it
self from bad bargain. Moreover,

considered. 1t is a matter in which
we can well afford to go slowly, and
carefully consider every step.

GOOD FOR THE l.. A. w.

There is nothing that this country
needs more than good roads. This is
so patent as to be almost a truism.
There is no agency more active in the
work of securing good roads than the
League of American Wheelmen.
Now that the League has abolished
its racing department, every attention
will be given to the other branches of
the work. The most important of
these is highway improvement, to
which is entrusted the work in behalf
of the good roads movement, which
the L. A. w. has constantly agitated
for almost twenty years. The League
has made rapid strides, particularly
during the past year. A circular sent
out by the League tells us:
THE most important work accomplished
last year was the holding of many good
roads conventions in various States the in
PRODUCTION of highway improvement meas
ures in many of the State Legislatures and
the evolution of the movement to national
proportions, as was evidenced by the bill
introduced in Congress calling for an APP
preparation of 100000 Constitutional
amendments were carried in Michigan and
Minnesota, and large amount of educa-
ton on the subject was circulated by the
league. All of this work will be con-
tinued during the present year, but upon a
much larger scale than heretofore. In fact
this will be one of the most important agi-
tations of the year aside from the Pres
idential elections The delegates of the l..
A. W. were never more enthusiastic upon
the subject, and they will enter into the
work with increased vigor. They expect
the cooperation of all wheelmen in the
great work they are doing

tween the British government and the
Mckinley administration AS the St
Louis Republic says, the suspicion
that such an understanding does ex-
list is supported by numerous happen
ings. One is the Hay Pauncefote
treaty, in which Great Britain is sum-
moned to have a voice in purely
American enterprise The DISPOSE
ton which the State Department made
of the charges submitted by Consul
Macrum is another. The fact that
the son of the Secretary of State, APP
pointed Consul at Pretoria, stopped at
London en- route to his station, and
held conference with the British State
authorities, as if to receive instruc-
lions as to the conduct of his consul
ate, was another"
The fact that no formal treaty was
made according to the Constitution is
by no means evidence that there is no
such understanding, as Mr.. Chamber
lain admitted, existed.
Besides, what does the Constitution
amount to these days with the second
term syndicate?

WAR AT GLADSTONE.
Bob BrantIey Opens Fire on
Fort Pritchett.

The usual Sabbath quiet at
Gladstone was rudely interrupted
last Sunday morning by loud cur
sing and the sound of pistol shots.
For some time there has been n
feud between Mr.. j. w. Pritchett,
the local merchant at that place,
and some of the Brantley boys,
which eliminated Sunday in an
attack on Mr.. Pritchett's residence
by several of the Brantleys. Du-
ring the melee young Bob Brant-
ley ran home, returned with his
revolver, and standing in front Of
Mr.. Pritchett's residence took de-
liberate aim and fired four shots at
the house. There were in the
house at the time Mr.. Pritchett,
his old mother, a crippled daugh-
ter, n one year old child and the
wife and sister of Pritchett. The
first bullet fired by Brantley went
wild, but second shot passed
through door, grazing Pritchett's
hip. Pritchett fired two shots at
Brantley but missed. This same
house was fired into several years
ago and Jode Arons was severely
wounded. The affair created great
excitement and a perfect stampede
took place among the women. Mr..
Pritchett came to town Monday
and swore out warrants for the en-
tire party, with the exception of
Ed. Brantley, who acted as peace
maker.
