CLOSING IN ON THEM.

The Kentucky revolutionists are
about at the end of their tether.
Their desperation grows as the law
closes in on them and public opinion
even in their own party in Kentucky
condemns their uncivilized course.
To Usurper Taylor and the unprinci-
pied mob behind his unlawful usur-
patton of authority there is no re-
course left now but brute force. They
have been condemned by Republic
can administration in Washington,
and their case has been adversely re-
ported by the courts and the Legisia-
ture, Moreover, the law is slowly but
with apparent certainty tracing the
murder of Gov. Goebel to high Repub-
lican officials. All this with the re-
suit that the usurping governor and
his accomplices in the State admins
tration, run to earth, without re-
fuge, and with the shadow Of the gal
lows ON them. have finally returned
to their first policy of brute force.
Usurper Taylors henchmen in the
militia received instructions not to
permit the police who are Investigate
ing the murder of Gov. Goebel or the
Sheriff to arrest any of the usurper's
accomplices in the State House, the
result being a bloody battle between
the police and the militia. Secretary
of State Powers and Captain j. W..
Davis, suspected ci completely in the
murder of Gov. Goebel, were given re-
fuge from the police in the State
House by Usurper Taylor, who had
the place surrounded by his militia
men to protect the fugitives from the
police. Later under Taylor's order
the suspects were taken under heavy
guard of militiamen to the railway
station and there permitted to escape
from the officers bearing warrants for
their arrest
1t was known that following the ap-
prehension of Powers and Davis that
several other members of Taylor's So
called administration were to be ar
rested, the evidence against them
of completely on the Goebel assassina-
ton being strong.
BY refusing to permit the law to
take it's course, by resisting its officers
by force, Taylor and his gang have
created case against themselves that
is strong indeed.
1t is wild, foolhardy business the Re
publican leaders of Kentucky are en-
gagged in. How long can they hope to
defy law and order, behind which are
all the forces of the country? They
are not supported by the respectable
members of their own party in Ken
lucky, while even the questionable
Republican support they have is drop
ping IF every day.
This is not the Sixteenth Century and
the medieval methods of the Republic
can leaders of Kentucky are not popu-
lar with Americans, regardless of
political faith, in 1900.

The sooner Usurper Taylor comes off
his kopje the better.
Taylor laundering Again.

Pittsburg Ditpatch, Rep
Mr.. Taylor, of Kentucky, succeeded in
doing the wrong thing at the right time
again, when he interfered with the dis
charge of the sheriffs duty yesterday.
Warrants having issued for two of the
pseudo-Governor' associates at the Ex-
ecutive Building, on the charge of compile
ity in the assassination of Senator Goe-
be4 Taylor would have appeared TO more
advantage facilitating the legal process
than by preventing the marshal and sher-
in from making arrests.
Taylor's invocation of the military pow
er of the National Guard at the various
stages of the political controversy in which
he is central figure has been in bad taste
His employment of the same power to pre-
vent legal process in the matter of the as
sassination of his late opponent is infinite
ly worse. Public opinion has all along been
averse to the theory that persons about
the Governors office were implicated in the
conspiracy to commit murder But if any,
thing besides direct evidence can operate to
change that public opinion it is such CON-
duct as Taylor was guilty of yesterday.
The natural presumption of the innocence
of III. men accused is accompanied by the
sumption that they ought to court a
judicial investigation of the charge against
them. By no means can their fair names
be vindicated from the stain of suspicion
Taylor, too, ought to be foremost in de-
handing trial for his political friends. 1t
must be grievous trial to his friends in
other States to find him exerting every
power at his command to impede the
course of justice.

A total OF $500 tons of coal and coke
car manufactures in the United States
was forwarded from the Fairmont region
during the past week, or a decrease of
400 tons of coal and 1850 tons of coke over
the previous week. The trouble seems to
be the lack Of power to move the freight
from there as the output IS limited only to
the ability of the railroads to move the
loads. The car supply also shows a de-
crease of 100 cars. There is now in that

Big Pipe Line Coming.

Morgantown Evening Post
The Fort Pitt Gas Co., of Pitts
burg, which supplies all the towns on
the north side of the Ohio river from
that city with fuel, has planned 70
build a great line into the West Viz
ginia natural gas fields. and develop n
tract of $4,000 acres possessed there.
The big pipe line will cost about
81 600, 900, and it is the intention to ask
the stockholders at a special meeting
in April to vote upon proposition
to issue bonds for that amount. The
big new field will give the company an
unlimited supply of natural gas fof an
unlimited time and will insure the
people of the beautiful Olio Valley
towns a clean fuel for a generation to
come.

The Circuit Oleomargarine bill has
been reported to the house without
amendment and it's passage is practic-
ally assured. The report by sub
committee of an amended bill,
supposed to- be favorable to the Oleo-
margarine interests, afforded con-
siderable pleasure to the enemies of
the General, who saw in it striking
example of his lack of influence in
the House. Now that the full COM
mittee has reported the bill as framed
by General Grout we have no doubt
that they will hasten to correct the
false impression they have attempted
to create while laboring under de-
fusion themselves.

the greatest scare in it's history, it being
occasioned by report to the village trus

that A. B. Thomas, who recently returned
from trip to Arizona, was suffering from
smallpox. Whereupon Mr.. Thomas house
was quarantined and other precautions
taken to prevent the spread of the disease.

and asked to come and diagnose the disease,
but not until Tuesday evening did mem

be bad case of chicken-pox. The doctor
commended DR.. Darling's action under the
circumstances. The damage to business
here by the scare is very heavy. Nearly 300
