THE LAW WILL ASSERT ITSELF

Kentucky owes much to herself; she
owes Just as much 10 civilization. The
time has como when Kentucky should dis
charge these grave obligations 10 both.
IL ever.
Not so long ago that the country has
recovered from the horror OF the diaboli-
cal deed. citizen claiming to have been
elected governor by the sovereign voice Of
Kentucky was shot down in the States
capitol yard. Since that disreputable
hour there has been no peace in the Ken
lucky public mind and no rest for the
Kentucky conscience. Friends of the
charge OF Kentueky's honor in their keep
ing, undertook in friendly conference to
map out way for the orderly adjust
ment OF differences. De facto Governor
Taylor refused to abide the course sug-
gested by this conference. Having faileI
in all efforts to secure, through partisan
appeals to President Mckinley, the IN
reference OF the Federal military In the
settlement OF Issues within the exclusive
scope and power of sovereign State Tay-
! Tor took his grievance TO republican
judge presiding over Federal court.
This Judge and this court declined to
take jurisdiction. From that hour to this
Taylor has held himself surrounded by
all physical conditions that mark the
reign Of a usurper who holds himself be-
yond the reach OF legal or constituted au-
| thorlty Meanwhile he has thrown every
possible obstacle in the way of the dis
eoyery and punishment Of the conspira-
tors and murderers who accomplished the
death of William Goebel. He has issued
pardons without the authority OF offce to
his henchmen and understrappers in ad-
vance Of indictment and conviction, and
evlnced degree OF fear or of mad usurpa-
ton without warrant in decency and with
out parallel In the history OF the States.
| Al not one single point in the development
OF the Kentucky situation has this man
Taylor shown the slightest disposition to
obey any VIII, save his own, or 20 conserve
the dignity OF the great commonwealth OF
Kentucky in the most remote particular.
The man is sui generis, and that hie
methods have been tolerated is trying 10
the patience and comprehension OF the
most conservative mind. II he had had
just claim upon the governorship OF Ken
lucky, surely the courts would have dis
1 covered II before now, aud, II they had
not, their injustice could have been
demonstrated and then an appeal to the
people would have given him vindicaton,
Even II they had not, he could at least
have avoided the position before his
countrymen of having forced upon Ken
lucky a reign OF terror and upon him
self the odious suspicion OF having con-
nlved with lawless assasslns to defeat the
ends of justice.
But Taylor Is rapidly rounding out his
career OF audacious usurpation. He can
not keep himself forever shut up Ia the
executive buildings at Frankfort surround .
ed by Gordon Of hayonets and gatling
guns. There never was situation with
which the laws OF sovereign State could
not deal. The lawful authority Of Ken
lucky Will yet reassert itself and justice
be eventually melted out At any rate,
the country at large has this much con-
hdence in the dignity and courage and
honor OF Kentucky
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1900-04-04

OF quotation. has yet gone among the Beers
who has not proclaimed their virtues as a
people and their undisputed capacity for
self government OF the simplest. puresi
and most wholesome type. Their courage.
magnanlmity and strategy In battle have
commanded the generous admiration Of a
brave foe and go excited his apprehensions
OF danger that his government. with al
ready more than 100000 soldiers In the
field. is still pouring troops and munitions
OF war into South Africa.
So far as Americans have a moral or
ethical right to regard the situation. they
can not hold the theory OF government
that obtains with the Beers TO be other
than that OF republic. SO holding. their
sympathy belongs logically and inevitably
to the Dutch republics. To the monarchy
OF Great Britain, Americans owe neither
sympathy nor allegiance OF any character
whatever. This does not presuppose that
Americans should condemn everything
British, or that they should be fanatical
in their condemnation OF British govern
mental policies. 1t does presuppose, how
ever. that American sympathies even
more. that American assistance, should go
out unreseryedly and boldly for republics
striving TO emulate our theories OF con-
stitutional government and TO follow in
our footsteps. rather than that We should
turn our backs to people to whom we have
given Inspiration in order to encourage the
cause Of an imperial government that
never In all its history has failed to stI&.e
with shot and shell at every republic sug-
gested by the love of liberty and the
sacrifices of brave men.
The public awaits with interes. Mr..
Davis lecture in which he shall give an
impartial view of the merits OF the South
African war and viii mark with care and
wisdom its effect upon an administration
that, in It's mad dream OF empire, gives
the cold shoulder to valiant republics
while extending the warm hand Of fellow
ship TO an unklndred monarchy.
