Trebriand at New Orleans, he relied on
the shining bayonets of his soldiers to
accomplish his will aud purpose without
regard to constitutional government.
REBUFFED BY MKINLEY.
His first rebuff was when he applied
to President Mckinley for recognition
rs Governor of Kentucky and for mill
tary aid The President declined to give
him any aid. This was followed by
events that plucked the feathers from
his wings. He SCARED very high, the
Democrats were SO cautious, so prudent,
that he and his soldiers apparently had
il all their own way for Il time, but he
soon found. like the Republicans in
Louisiana In 1870, that he could not
sustain himself. 1t so happened that
about the time Governor Goebel was
sworn in as Governor. proclamation
was issued by him calling on the people
i'll the State House to dispense and return
to their homes. y man named Walker
succeeded in passing the guard and put
ting up the notice in the capitol building.
IhereupOn Walker was arrested and held
n close prisoner by Governor Taylor
and his soldiers His wife made applica-
ton to a judge for a writ of habeas cor
pus, but the troops would not allow the
sheriff TO serve the writ, and Governor
Taylor gave it out that he would not
obey the writ.
Also application was made to another
judge for an injunction prohibiting Gov
ernor Taylor from interfering with the
Legislature, and a temporary restraining
order was granted, and day set for
hon no A if.t
Governor Taylor and the Judiciary now
seemed inevitable. Constitutional gov
eminent was now to assert itself or it
was TO be entirely destroyed. The issue
was squarely made. The crisis was at
hand Then it was that John Marshall
the Lieutenant Governor on the Taylor
ticket came to the capitol, and after
some conferences ,with the Democratic
leaders, doubtless under pressure from
President Mckinley, and seeing the
hopelessness of the struggle. Governor
Taylor gave away, and agreed to submit
the matter to the courts.
This, then, is but another instance Of
Republican disregard of constitutional
government. We know a tree by its
fruits, and the people of North Carolina
must pass Judgment on the general ten
dency of that party TO ignore conStltu-
tional restraints, and to resort to law
lessness and force whenever the law and
the constitution interferes with their
plans.
Let our people adhere to their high re-
gard for the established institutions Of
government and set their seal Of con-
demnation on that party which flies to
arms and resort to bayOnets and dis
perses Legislatures by force, whenever
it suits them to do so.

EXAMINE YOURSELF.

Shakespeare says, Let every man
negotiate for himself and trust no agent.
Every voter oJght certainly to see with
his own eyes, if he can read. just what
the constitutional amendment is, and
if be cannot read let some trusted friend
read it for him. This is important be-
cause the enemies of good government
are telling falsehoods daily about the

TRAMPLEs ON CONSTITUTION.

Now it Is to be observed that Governor
Taylor had no right to adjourn the
Legislature, and that he had no right
to convene the Legislature, even if it had
not been in session, at any other place
than the State capitol. The constitution
of Kentucky is to the effect that in case
of instruction. the Governor can call
the Legislature together in special ses-
sion at some other place than the capitol,
but the Legislature was already in SEES
sion and there was no insurrection. The
only thing approaching an instruction
was the conduct of Governor Taylor and
his friends. But he trampled the const
tuition of Kentucky that he had sworn
to support under his feet, and adjourned
the Legislature which he had no right
or power to do, and called it to meet
again at London, which he had no right
to do. and by an armed force he dispersed
the General Assembly and would not
tolerate that it should assemble in its
own halls.
1t is not necessary to speak now Of
the assassination of Goebel, by murder
ers stationed in the executive building;
certainly by some of the armed force
Governor Taylor had collected there. 1t
is not necessary to speak now of the
fact that Immediately upon the assas-
sination of Goebel the armed soldiers
of Governor Taylor would allow no one
to go into the building to find the assas-
sin, and that no attempt 1T all was made
to arrest the murderer. That was bad
enough That illustrates the general
character of the force Governor Taylor
had cOrralled in the executive building.
But we are dealing now simply with the
attitude of Republicans TO constitutional
government We need not suggest gov
eminent by assassination, for it may be
that Governor Taylor was not privy to
the murder of the man who was making
the contest for his place. That. how
ever. is aside and apart from the sub
version of the constitution of Il State;
from the dispersal of a General Assem-
bly, by armed troops, and assuming the
powers of a dictator. He overthrow. as
far as he could, constitutional govern
ment, trampled on the constitution and
relying on his soldiers, ignored the rights
and privileges of the General Assembly
and declared that he would not submit
to the judiciary. He set himself up
above law and the constitution, and like

A man on the ladder seized the card and
read its message. Waving his hand up

ran ninbly down the ladder darted across
the street to ladder truck, and with the
help of a comrade seized a coil of rope,
v hich they flung on the ground directly
under our window. Fastening the end of
the rope to his belt, the hoseman climbed
TO where the end CT our precious codline
was swinging to and fro.
To prevent the line from chafing on the
stone trimming under the window sill,
Proctor leaned far outward and carefully
obeyed The command to haul" He was
in a happy mood, probably from the fact
he was earning a million dollars. and also
that he was working for his own dear life

Oglethorpe whisper to the chief a con-

Then he sald to the former that he
