The Tragedy Complete.

Governor Goebel is dead, and the man
for whose sake ami in whose interest the
murderous deed was done still maintains
the reign of terror he has inauguratei in
Frankfort and defies alike the officers OF
the law and the law itself
1t is a wondrous spectacle. but in the
nature of things it cannot be long lived
The bullet which struck down the Demo
cratic leader in Kentucky put an end to
Republican supremacy there forever and
day. II remains only for Governor Beck
ham to take up the work which his heroic
predecessor has finally had to lay down.
His first act should be to drive the man
Taylor from the capital of the State;
his second to arrest and arraign the MUIR
derer and his criminal associates.

THE COMING SPANISH KING.
Incidents ReHecting the wit of the

Stories are beginning to appear of the
deficiency in mental capacity of the boy
who is on his way to the majority which
will constitute him King OF Spain. The
writer can certify to the fact that some
six years ago this lad was an interesting
looking little fellow, and anecdotes were
then related of him in his own country
which indicated that while he had a will
of his own, he was not deficient in smart
ness. One Of them was to the effect that
he was once riding with his governess.
when she had occasion to reDrove him,
and told him that unless he changed his
conduct she could not ride with him lon
ger.
Upon which he Immediately called to the
coachman and said: This lady wants TO
get out" Another represented the small
scion as being told that he must not do a
certain thing because little kings never
behaved in that way. well, this little
king does" was the reported response.
These anecdotes may be apocryphal but
they were current in foreign circles In
Spain at the time above noted.

Since the shooting Of Coebel TAYLOR has acted

false. and as the single assault which was COM
mitted in that city was directed against his prin.
cipal opponent by some crazed or reckless per
son his words might be construed as an undeserycd
reflection upon his own following. Probably the
truth is, however, that he was in panic Of
