THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE IN KEN

Whatever doubt there may be regarding

the pending state election in Kentucky.

The Kansas City platform says: The
burning issue OF Imperialism growing ont

istence of the Republic and the destruction
OF free Institutions" That is precisely
what Goebelism involves in kentucky, and

effect comes much nearer being imperialism
than anything the Mckinley administration
has done or con.emplates doing. President
Mckinley has never defied the expressed
will OF the people. or overthrown a popular
election. or put in high office a man de-
feated at the polls in the rightful place
of one elected. He has never attempted
under the forms of law. by means of ma
chinery devised for the express purpose,
TO disfranchise a large mass OF citizens by
rendering their votes nugatory. He has
never attempted to place government by

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 1.-THE National

AND BLACK.
These Two Are Fighting Ia out for
Democratic Leadership.

LEXINGTON. Ky, July 1.-THE hall is
being deliberately decorated for the Demo-
cratic State convention here Thursday
afternoon. Among the portraits OF leading
Democrats are those of Bryan and Steven
son. but the centerpiece, heavily draped.
H. the portrait of William Goebel. who was
the standard bearer last year. and who
was assassinated last January. Governor
Beckham, who was on the ticket last year
for Lieutenant Governor. is the leading
candidate now for Governor. with ex-Gov-
ernor McCreary. Joseph H.. Lewis. James
Il. Black, James p. Tarvin and others men,
TONED as dark horses There are several
contesting delegations. notably from Ken
ton and Campbell counties. and If they are
ell decided in favor of the Beckham dele
gates, the indications are that the nomi-
nation of the present Governor will be as
sured. There Will no doubt be a contest
ever a proposed plank in the platform for
the amendment Of the Goebel election law
and this promises 10 be the feature of the
convention. Governor Beckham has never
expressed himself on this a~mendmeDt. but
many of his supporters favor il. II will be
all issue I'm the election of the temporary
chairman and the organization Of the con-
~vention. especially in the make up OF the
committee on resolutions.
The Beckham men are confident tonight
IF controlling the convention. but Judge
Black. who seems 10 be the leading OPP
ponent. says there will be over a thousand
men here tomorrow for him.. and they VIII
get after uninstructed delegates that the
Bockham men count In their list. Judge
Black insists that Governor Beokham viii
not be nominated. IL Is claimed that a ma
jrrity of the delegates favor a modfica-
ton of the Goebel election law. and the
opponents of Beckhem now say that the
Governor does not want an extra session
OF the Legislature or any amendment OF the
Goebel election law until after the next
election.
The agitation over the modification OF the
Gcebel election law H. causing the Beck
ham men more trouble than the unin-
structed delegates. as there are some dele
gates who care more for the proposed
amendment of the Goebel election law than
they do for their preference for Governor.
The election law will be the issue OF the
convention and unless the delegates should
turn on the Governor because OF his non
committal attitude on that matter. there
seems 10 be little doubt Of the nomination
of Beckham.

c. Fl. Diedrich, the Republican candidate
for Governor in Nebraska, is of German
birth and very popular. Prosperity is the
strong card in the Republican hand. E. A.
Laverty. of Nebraska. a member of the
committee to inform Governor Roosevelt
of his nomination, says:
I'm a farmer. Four years ago we had to
pay 10 and II per cent. for money on chat
tel mortgage. To-day we can get money
on the same kind of security at Z and S per
cent. Real estate mortgages brought s per
cent. four years & To-day the prevail
ing interest rate on the same kind of mort
cages is 5 and s per cent. Those are knock
arguments. The farmers of the State
are out of debt and riding in carriages.
Fine promises and specious theories do
not count much against such a condition
as this. Nebraska Republicans say If
Roosevelt will make a few speeches in the
State they will carry IL, sure.

The majority of the Council acted wise
" in refusing to issue bonds TO extend the
fire department, after the assistant city at
torney has declared that funds in the
treasury obtained for a special purpose
can be used to pay current expenses. While
the statement of the controller doubtless
shows the condition of the city treasury, IL
is asserted on good authority that the au-
thorities have been standing off, large
creditors whose bills are overdue and that
two or three such bills aggregate more than
$50. 900. Such statements of outstanding in
debtedness, which should ave been made
tc the Council, have led that body to refuse
to issue bonds to raise money for the ex-
tension of the fire department when it can
be used, as was the bridge fund, to meet
current expenses. The majority of the
Council is right. The much vaunted
economy of the mayor has not appeared.
The current expenses of the city are much
beyond the revenues derived from a 59-cent
levy. At the rate the city is going a 75-cenr
levy is necessary. The Council does not pro-
pose that the unnecessary deficit shall be
met by issues of bonds increasing the per-
manent debt of the city.

tools is made paramount to the will Of the
people. The Imperialism which the Kansas
City platform declares threatens the very
existence of the Republic and the destruc-
ton Of our free Institutions" consists in
the establishment of the rightful authority
of the United States in the far-away Phil
ippines. The imperialism of the Goebel
law has already overthrow popular gov-
eminent in one of the States of the Union.
Imperialism in the Philippines is a myth,
a political bogy, a campaign fiction with
out present or prospective existence. Goe-
belism in Kentucky is an accomplished
fact and an actuality. The Republicans of
Kentucky are right in keeping this issue
to the front and making it paramount TO all
others until ii shall be decided in favor
of the people. AS a State issue and to them
as Kentuckians it is more important than
16 TO 1, more important than the tariff
question or than the election of Mckinley
or Bryan as President. The Republicans
are right, also. in making the issue in such
a form as to invite the support of anti
Goebel Democrats and all the friends of
civil liberty In the State. Their present
duty is not to tight an imperialistic man
of straw in the Philippines, but to put an
end at once and forever to Goebelism in
Kentucky. Meanwhile the people of other
States should note the fact that the party
which sees infinite danger in the estab-
lishment of popular government in the
Philippines sees none whatever in its over
throw in Kentucky.

If II shall prove true. as there seems no
reason TO doubt, that all the foreigners in
Picking have been killed 1t may be worth
while for the allied powers to consider the
propriety of radically changing their line
of action. If this unparalleled crime has
and people. or at least the active partici-
pants in the crime. must be punished. But
how can they be brought to terms? Can
it be done by open war? Is there not dan
gate the country will so arouse and unite
the Chinese millions that they may crush
the invaders? 1t Is questionable IL so
bloody a war as this might be would be
justifiable merely for the purpose of bring
ing the Chinese government to terms, and
which might fail in its object at last. In
these circumstances ii might be well for
the powers to consider the propriety of
withdrawing their troops and bringing Chi
ma to terms by establishing a strict block
ade of all her ports, thus shutting her up,
cutting her off. completely from the rest of
the world, and. for the time, annihilating
her trade. The navies of the allied powers
could easily do. this. especially as China
has no navy to speak of. 1t is a question
whether an effective blockade of that kind
would not bring China to terms quicker
thar open war, and it would cost infinitely
less in money and lives.

IL must be because he considers the money
question more important than the Philip
pine question That Is. he prefers a. gold
standard empire to a bimetallic republic. :"
This is another Illustration Of Mr.. Bryan's
aptitude for giving fallacies and false
hoods an e-pigrammatic expression. We
have a bimetallic republic now-plenty Of
gold coin and more silver than any other
civilized country except France-and not

does.
