MR. WooDRUFFs PROSPECTS.

Being asked yesterday if he thought that the
Hon Timothy L. Woodruff would get the nOmi-
nation for Governor this fall, Lemuel Ely Quigg
replied: u not only think but know that he
will get it," During his not too brief but inter
esting career Mr.. Quigg has known so many
things which not so that prudent seekers
after truth have fallen into the habit of pinning
their faith to the things of which he is not
aware. But in respect to this particular matter
a variation from the common rule may be ad-
visable for he is by no means alone III predict
ing that the Leutenant-Gov will be Off
ciaIy recommended for promotion. Thus 1.-The

entirely safe to accept the congratulations
which were pouring in upon him from every
quarter. With his habitual Difference to party

one of three Commissioners was a Republican.
If the Legislature will increase the member
ship Of both the State Board and the county
boards to four and give each party an equal
number of Commissioners. public opinion In
Kentucky will be amply satisfied Anything
less than this will not be- and should not he,
accepted by the Republican minority in the
Legislature or the honest voters of all parties
who have banded together to free the good
name Of Kentucky from the stigma Of Goebel-
ism and the Goebel law. Some hope OF the
enactment OF a creditable election system is to
be found, however. in the fact that the spirit OF
Goebelism has already been checked suffl-
ciently within the Democratic organization to
compel it's leaders to consider a retreat from
the methods TO which 1t was committed by the
most INSCRIPTIONS and odious adventurer who
has troubled Kentucky politics since the days
of Aaron Burr.

IN AKTr-rHPERIALIsT UTrERANcE.

Ex-Governor Boutwell, venerable man
whom his conntrymen have delighted to honor
made an eloquent and impassioned address at
Indianapolis on Wednesday against Imperial
ism" profusely glowing with the fervOr Of de
vot1on to the high ideals Of American patriot
ism It was rapturously applauded, and will
doubtless be widely published blast against
the Administration.
BY happy coincidence, a fine gloss upon Mr.
Boutwelrs speech was on the same day made
public. 1t Is from the pen and brain Of
one of Mr. Boutwelps most earnest and loyal
followers In his neutrality-suspicious. campaign.
1t is a letter written by American citizen
to man engaged in rebellion against the
United States Government. The writer is "a
member of the Anti-Imperialist League of
Boston Of which George S Boutwell, is presi-
dent and Erving Winslow is secretary" He
writes to a Tagal rebel about the piratcal war
carried on by President Mckinley against
your people" He declares that President Nc
Kinley and General Otis and all the United
States troops in the Philippines ARE pirates"
He adds that "aIl persons compromised In this
war are pirates" He urges his correspondent
and his fellow rebels TO capture some United
States officer and treat him a pirate. He
adds that Mckinley and the members Of his
Cabinet have deliberately lied" And then,
finally. having presumably some compunctions
for the safety OF his own precious neck, he
suggests concerning his letter that at would
be more prudent TO keep il secret"
Such is the correspondence and such the re-
latonship maintained by one of Mr.. Boutwell,
followers member of the Anti-Imperiallst
League of Boston, of which George S, Bout
well Is president and Erving Winslow is sec

rebellion against the legal and moral SOW
ereignty Of the United States, who are firing

States soldiers, and who doing so, accord
ing to indubitable testimony. in the manner of
brigands and assassins. We have no idea nor
wish that the Government will string the fell
low up as a traitor But we trust his letter
will be marked, read and inwardly digested as
an authoritative gloss upon his leaders speech

ENGLAND.s COAL QUESTION.

The coal supply Of Great Britain Is just now
seriously disturbing the minds of the Eng
lish ship owner and the English merchant
One of the questions discussed before the end
of Parliament was Shall coal shipped for
export be taxedT' 1t is threatened to keep I'D
the agitation and to bring the question to the
attention OF the next Parliament. The tax
proposition is a result of the wild statements
that large quantity of the best steaming coal
is being clandestinely exported TO French and
Russian ports, where it is to be stored away
until required in a war to be waged against
bOth-of those countries. If these statements
true 1t is an ominous state OF things Are
they true?
Coal shipments have largely increased, and
they continue to increase; and this, together
with the fact that the miners are making such
good earnings that they take more leisure to
themselves than formerly, is the reason given
why the quantity of the supplies on hand is
kept low. The alarmsts contend that the coal
exports should be taxed or the output be re-
strfcted. But would this prove a remedy for
THE serious state of things? All over the
world. especially among the Powers with large
modern navies, the demand for steaming coal
has Increased, and this is due to the enlarged
hghting and mercantile fleets, together with the
extraordinary demand through the augmented
fleets Of fighting ships and transports intended

A word is necessary in regard to the remarkable
statement which appeared In a contemporary
yesterday credtting this column with the announce
ment Of the engagement Of Miss Helen thinner
man and the Duke OF Manchester. The statement
Is without foundation. The announcement was
first made IN THE Herald August 10 in letter
from Newport. II was made absolutely on the
authority OF The Herald" on the following Sun
day the story was commented in this column
and doubt was expressed 70 It's trustworLhiness
The subsequent proceedings have confirmed the
doubts. The matrimonial affairs ambitions or
either Miss Zimmerman or the Duke OF Manchester
have hardly a place in this column, and allusiOn
made TO the story simply because the Duke is
related TO persons in New-TOrk society. The nat
ter otherwise is Of little interest.
