BETTER ELECTION LAWS.
From the Smyrna Times.


The sentiment of the country on the
condition of affairs in Kentucky as ex-
pressed in the newspapers, saws tile
Philadelphia Press, is strongly Indicative
OF the conservative, abiding spirit of
the people. A large majority of the
newspapers comment on the affair in an
impartial tone. They recognized the
fact that this is no time and no occasion
TO make party capital. There are only a
few exceptions TO this rule. There is no
attempt, however, to excuse the murder
ous assault OH Goebel No newspaper
tries 60 soften or conceal its horror of tLe
assassin's crime.
There is the same approach to unani-
nifty as to the character of the events
which led up TO the crime. There is
no defense except in Kentucky, of Goe-
bel and his notorious election law. IL ia
acknowledged that he tried to override
the will of the people and to reach Off ,e
and honor in spite Of the fact that he
had been defeated at the polls. There ia
the same general agreement that while
apparently obeying the law, Goebel's
course tended directly to destroy all re-
spect for the law and was sure to breed a
spirit OF violence which would result in
murder. And however much they may
deplore the turn events may have taken
and Disgrace brought upon the state, il
is generally agreed that Goebel himself
1s mainly resp ,nsible for his death.

THE GOEBEL ELECTION LAWS
From the Lou sville couier.Journal.

From the Lou sville lierJournal
The one just accusation against Mr..
Goebel is the election law that bears his
name. The Courier-J Journal opposed il
earnestly. Mr., Goebel himself doubted
lis wisdom. The law was not of his
origination. His instincts and his in
telllgence were against it. He found it
to be stumbling block in his canvass
for Governor. He became convinced
that it was an ill-judged law. He stood
ready to have it So modified as to make
1t good law. But during the period of
lite passage-when the Courier-J ournal
pleaded with him-never uttering a
word against him, tor we recognized i'm
then as the one promising force in Ken
tucky politics-the one leader who had
opinions and who was ready to fight for
them-the very embodiment and incar-
naTion of all the Couiier-Journal has
fought for these 30 yesrs-he could not
see these things, and so the Goebel bill
was enacted into law, anu all the efforts
OF the Cnurier-J Journal to prevent it we're
futile. Even the Republicans did not
think enough Of the dangers it embodied
TO get up public meetings against it. Out
side Of the Legislature-with the Courier
journal making daily exposition of it's
objectionable featuree-it passed against
but weak and scattered protest. II
showed itself very poor law indeed: be.
cause, admitting its purpose, it fai,ed
signally; it proved to be full of holes.
and, indirectly, has been one of the bro.
voking causes of the death of the brave
and noble young man who reluctantly
gave 1t his name, and assuredly the most
potential issue against him in the recent
state canvass

WHAT DOES THE CITY GET?


From Every Evening of yesterday. :, is5A
The amazing franchise granted by the
Street and Sewer Department.. to the
Universal Conduit, Light, Heat and
Power Co., is the talk OF the commun-
lty, and no wonder. Nothing like il was
ever dreamed of in Wilm ington before,
and that the ugliest sort of rumors
should attend all discussions OF it's fea
lures is but natural.
A pertinent question in connection
with the grant is: "What does the city
get out OF it?" The city practically gives
up the use of its streets to private cor
poration. 1t runs the risk OF being in
volved in litigation over the question of
interference, by THE grant, with certain
vested rights that other concerns-the
gas company and the telephone, tele-
graph and electric light companies
already have in the use OF the Streets
And, so far as is known, it gets not a
dollar for its enormous concession.
That this is a rank injustice to tne
people cannot be doubted for an instant
II is estimated that this franchise, by
Itself considered as marketable com-
modify, is worth at least S25 600 to its
possessors. How much it may be worth
as utility to be realized upon by the
1SNa'' aSN " tllC lIdllCulst tOI DuSsHeSS
purposes Is matter of conjecture, but
surely the figures would no5 be small.
And yet the city gets nothing for the con-
crs'ion. Have the interests OF the city
been considered by tie Street and Sewer
Department in this matter? Most as
suredy not
The lack Of publicity connected with
the transaction is also unsatisfactory,
not to say suspicious So far as the
pubic knows, the company now in pos
session OF this valuable franchise may be
merely concern upon paper. Its resi-
dent managers are known, but it is not
known who else comprise its directory,
or whether dollar OF its stock has been
subscribed for. The people were kept
absolutely in the dark, and are still in
the dark, with respect to these and other
material points, and the first informa-
ton that came to them was the summary
granting OF the franchise.
This outrageous action should not
stand. Even if the city was to receive
reasonable compensation for the grant,
the propriety of the transaction would
be exceedingly doubtful. But to have
the franchise given away is an outrage
GUS imposition upon the public.
