Americans no longer have any right to
shake their heads and smile in a superior
way over the political troubles of the
French and the trifiing riots in which the
volatile Parisans occasionally mingle. Not
in many years has France been so dark
ened by disgrace and bloodshed as Is Ken
tucky.-Chicago News.
The sympathy which would go out to e
public man with q clean record will be
tempered by the reflection that Goebel is
the representative of everything censura-
BILE in politics; that he has never permitted
scruples to deter him from a course of ac-
ton, and that his skill with the revolver
has ended one life.-Baltimore Herald.
1t is the danger that other lives will be
sacrificed to the madness of political hate
that makes the shooting of Goebel deplora-
BILE. Had such a crime occurred almost
anywhere else IL might reasonably be
hoped that the effect would be to lead
men to reflect upon the peril of giving free
course TO their passions. but in Kentucky
a different result is to be expected.-Omaha
Bee.
II can be said without shadow of hesi-
tation that, whether Goebel or Taylor has
been right in the matter at issue, both have
been equally wrong in the manner in which
they have approached ii. Each has per-
mitted his friends TO make threats OF
bloodshed. each has been party to the
practice Of allowing armed men TO invade
the capital and TO menace the peace OF
citizens.-Chicago Journal
The mingled desperation and retribution
which fash in the news from Kentucky
to-day should carry their own lesson
against party fierceness and fraudulent
title to the American people. Kentucky
may not now be in a position to learn that
lesson, but the other States are, and Ken
lucky herself will eventually have to learn
blood and shame and tears.-Brooklyn Ea-
gle.
1t is not likely that this will be the end
of turmoil in our neighbor State. Assas-
sination seldom tranquilizes the public
mind. Ii ordinarily adds fuel to tne
flames Kentucky has been on the brink
OF revolution for several weeks. and Ii Is
very doubtful whether the shooting OF
Goebel will quench the fires. Indeed, II
