KEyruCKy's SHAME.

After a long struggle for lie, ex-
Senator Goebel Of Kentucky has finally
succumbed His death at the hand OF
an assassin Is the climax Of bitter po-
lltlcal contest In which much wrong has
been committed on both sides.
Briefly stated the situation that led
to the murder was this, that Taylor was
declared lawfully elected governor, and,
consequently, took possession Of the
office. Then Goebel was also declared
elected, and in order to prevent him
from taking possession, he was struck
down by an assassin. He lived long
enough, however. TO take the oath Of
office and issue proclamation, and
now the Lieutenant governor has quail,
fled for governor and continue the
fight.
The process by which Goebel was by
the legislature declared elected after
the votes had been counted In favor Of
his political opponent, was one OF the
inventions OF the dead senator. The
law, framed by himself, Is described as
an elaborate system by which the vote
Of the people can be nulliied at the
pleasure Of the party that happens to
run the machinery. II puts the recely-
ing, counting and return Of votes In the
exclusive control Of one party, and fur
nlshes facilities for changing the result
OF the count on every elective officer In
the State.
As an instance OF the methods en-
ployed II Is stated that Taylor had a
majority Of 5000 over Goebel but in
certain Republican counties the official
ballots furnished the voters. gave Tay-
lor's name purposely spelled wrong, so
as 10 furnish an excuse for not count
ing them. The State returning board
refused 10 commit this injustice and
seated the Republican candidate, while
the legislature. having the final au-
thorlty IN the matter. decided for Goe-
bel II Is believed that Goebel framed
the law with the special end In view Of
making himself a governor.
As TO the personal character Of the
murdered man. but little is said. 1t
seems he attained prominence at the
time he shot and killed John Sanford
under circumstances indicating MUIR
derous disposition That after such an
occurrence he should be able to obtain
a scat IN the legislature Of one OF the
Oldest States IN the Union, and votes
for governor Of that State, does not
sneak well for the moral sense Of some
Kentucky citizens 1t makes the recent
slogan: NO law-breakers for law
makers sound Ike CHASTITY irony
All the commentators on the SAN
culinary tragedy regret It. and denounce
the perpetrators OF the crime. And It
cannot be too strongly condemned. It
Is likely TO find apt Imitation In
other places. The assassination Of Goe-
bel means the introduction into politics
OF blood and lead. as a final resort
when constitutional means appear in

In the legislature, because Of his con-
sistent record as a practical anti-mo-
nopolst, Senator Goebel had won the
bitter enmlty Of the Louisville & Nash

whose officers devote as much concern
to politics as to legitimate railroad
business. When Senator Goebel was
nominated for governor II became APP

Harris died week ago and there
were rumors that he left much money

contained gold During the battle the
keg was broken to pieces and pile OF
rusty nails were exposed instead of the
boarded gold.
The riot call was turned in by Jo-

but when the police arrivedan the men
had disappeared. One of the survivors
procured a wagon and placed two OF

GNAWED TO DEATH BY ANTS.
Horrible Punishment Inflicted By
Means of Red Ants on an Ameri-
can By Mayo Indians,

A mining man who reached El Paso,
Tex, from the state of Sinaloa, Mex
leo, tells the story in detail of the
terrible punishment recently inflicted
on James Wilson, a renegade Ameri-
can prospector, by Mayo Indians.
Wilson frequently visited the villages
and finally won the affections of a
handsome young girl. Instead of mar
rying the girl according to the rites
OF her tribe, he is said to have decoyed
her to his camp in the mountains and
kept her there against her will She
finally escaped to tell the story and
Wilson fed. He was overtaken and
carried back. AS punishment for
his crime it was ordered that he be
put to death by a method common
with the Mayos- The Prospector was
stripped of his clothing and bound
across an ant hill infested by large
red ants. After many hours Of hor-
rible suffering as the insects slowly
gnawed away his flesh Wilson expired.
Wilson was reputed to be fugitive

Some Facts About Sugar.

The recent advance of eighty cents
per hundred pounds in the price of re-
fined sugar, ordered by the sugar trust
and carried into effect all over the Uni
ted States, makes the price of sugar to
consumers higher than it has been at any
time during the past nine years. In view
of the fact that this covers the periods
of Wilson, the Mckinley and Dingley
tariff bills, shows how thoroughly and
completely the Republican party has
placed the sugar industry in the hands
of heartless money making trust
The price OF sugar of 96 per cent test,
centrifugal, about the grade of No 8, or
common yellow, in which form it is
bought from the producer, is about $4.8I
per hundred. The cost of refining by
the trust is about 40 cents per hundred.
The net wholesale price OF the trust to
the trade, f. o. b., at New York, is $3.50
per hundred, Sill gross profit to the
refners. Deduct the 40 cents actual cost.
and the net profit to the trust is II cents
per hundred, OF $2.48 cents per barrel.
The capacity of the trust refneries,
not including those closed, is 10000
barrels per day, at net profit Of $l48,-
800 per day, or 800 working days of
$44,640,00O per year.
This is the tribute which the American
people are made to pay to one of the
many trusts which aff1ict the country
more than 60 cents each for every man,
woman and child.
The present tariff duty on refined sug-
ar is $1.95 per hundred, and herein is
the protection which enables the trust to
exact Its demands upon the public. It
is made up as follows: rs test by polar
scope, not above No. 16 Dutch Standard,
and equal to our No. 2, 95 cents per
hundred; for every additional degree,
055 per hundred, 87t cents; ! differen-
tial for refined. 121 cents, or a total Of
$1.95. This is the duty foreign sugar IS
compelled to pay to compete with Amer
lean refined, which enables the trust to
exact and demand its extortion from
consumers. Under the Mckinley and
the Wilson tariffs sugar not above No.
16 Dutch test was free, and under the
Wilson bill. the duty on sugars above
that standard was only $50 of one cent
per pound or about 40 cents per hun
dred. ~.:~ .e: .,. 50. =,
In view of the fact that Congressman
man McCleary voted for the present tar
iii on sugar, which enables the trust to
combine the great sugar industry Of the
country, and exact the enormous tribute
we have explained, it looks like the YER
lest sacrilege to commend his devotion
"to the material welfare of the whole
people to proclaim him .sas unalter-
ably opposed to every form of trus,
