BRINGING THE AssAss1Ns TO BOOK

The wheels of justice are moving in
Kentucky and there is a fair prospect
that the conspirators who plotted the
murder of Gov. Goebel will be brought
to book.
Already a good start has been made
by the arrest of Secretary of State
Caleb Powers, who is held without bail
on the charge of completely in the Goe-
bel assassination.
Of course, Usurper Taylor at once
issued a pardon in advance to Powers,
as he did to all of his henchmen, who
we're suspected of this crime, but the
court would not recognize his pardon
and Powers must stand trial.
The next move should be the arrest
of Taylor himself on the same charge.
The known facts and the testimony of
his dying henchman, Sergeant Golden,
of the mountain militia, connect Tay-
lor as closely with the murder of Gov.
Goebel as Powers.

The Pioneer Press (colored).
Congressman Freer, whose smooth road
to the -Gubernatorial nomination everybody
admitted, but whose path is now decked
with White thorns, is a clever man and
highly esteemed by all colored people who
know him. Mr.. Freer can't be beaten with
profit to the beaters. Freer is a man who
lives on the level with the common voters,
most of whom love him.. Our advice is
for the colored people to stand by Mr..
Freer, for he has never wronged them, and
never will.

At the same time they are more despica-

risk, and they probably imagine they are

Senator Scott, in an interview at Wheel
ing recently, spoke of the unusual pros
perity of the State. He says that times in
this State are so prosperous under a Re-
publican rule tina the negro laborers in
the southern part of the State are being
coaxed to remain. There is nothing
strange about this. There is a campaign
on hand, you see. These will not only be
persuaded to remain, but many others
will likely be imported before election day.
The Senator also spoke of the political
bosses. He said: IF there are any Repub-
lican bosses in this State. 1 do not know
of them. Some of the Republicans are
kicking against the organization he re-
marked, but there must be leaders, and
everything must nave a head OF course.
The G. o. p. in this State has three heads
Elkins, Scott and White, and, incidentally,
of course, the middle name Of each begins
with a B-Stephen Boss Elkins, Nathan
Boss Scott and Albert Boss White.

A Sample OF Calamity Rhetoric.

1.-THE prosperity argument which the
Republicans bring forward to answer
all complaints against the adminiStrd-
ton will not deceive the farmer. He
knows that two factors enter into his
income: First, the size of his crop. and,
second, the price which he receives for
the same. He does not return thanks
TO the party in power for favorable
wea Their and a bountiful harvest, and
he knows that the Republican party
has no policy which insures a perma
nent increase in agricultural prices.
Since he sells his surplus in a foreign
market. he is not a beneficiary of the
tariff, and since he produces merchan-
disc and not money, he does not profit
by the appreciation of the dollar. He
knows that the much-vaunted prosper
ity. of which he has never had his
share, is on the wane, in spite of the
unusual and unnatural stimulation
which it has received during the last
three years. He knows that each
month of 1900 shows larger number of
failures than the corresponding month
of 1892 and that there is already
marked tendency toward a decrease in
the output of the factories. He knows,
also, that discoveries of gold famineS
abroad. and war on three continents
have not been able to raise the price OF
farm products as rapidly as trusts and
combinations have raised the price of
the things which the farmer buys
Bryan in speech at Topeka.
That is the present prosperity is the
act of God and there is no prosperity,
anyway. This Illuminating bit of logic
is a favorite piece in Bryan's list of
declamations. In the matter of i'm
perialism'' and ''militarism'' Bryan
tries to make the voters see what does
not exist; in touching on prosperity he
tries to hide what does exist, and what
the farmers, artisans, and merchants
know exist as the result of Republican
legislation. Every one who reads the
trade papers knows that there We're
fewer failures in business in the first
half of 1900 than in any similar period
in Is years. another proof of the fact
that the calamity rhetoric of Bryan has
no regard for the facts.

Wantet-The Full Story from China.

Where are the war correspondents in
China? For many weeks the world has
been intensely interested in the Chin
csc crisis; after long delays the allied
army has relieved the beseiged lega-
tons in Pekn; desperate battles have
been fought and remarkable marches
made through hostile hordes of
Orientals; the Chinese empire is in .
chaotic condition with no sembance of
Il government; even now it is not Ger
tain that the relief army in Pekin will
not itself have to be relieved All this,
and only fragments of the story have
reached the eagerly waiting world OF
Europe and America. Outside of the
official dispatches of the commanders
AT the front, brief and unsatisfactory
10 the general public, little has come
10 us of the battles, marches and gen
eral conditions. No warfare of recent
times has furnished a srander oppor-
tunity for reportorial enterprise, yet
the field has remained almost unoccu-
pied.
Have the war correspondents, profess
sional and amateur. exhausted their
energies in Cuba, the Philippines and
South Africa? Stevens, Crane and
some of the greatest have died; Ralph,
Marshall and others are disabled, bat
where are their companions and thei.
successors? Where, for instance. is
Richard Harding Davis? To be sure.
the scene of strife is remote and the
difficulties of communication are num-
erous and serious, but the war CORE
spondents Of the past have overcome
greater obstacles. There is fame and
fortune for the hustling pencil pusher
who gives the world the first complete
and vivid newspaper story Of what has
happened and is happening in China.
We want the full story of that long
seise of the legations, and the glorious
narrative of the victory Of the allies i'll
