truth is that Goebel was not the au-
thor Of the set Of laws which bear
his name. They we're framed by
others and placed in his hands for
championship because he was the
ablest and most influential men,
Der Of the Legislature at Frank
fort. These facts are notorious in
Kentucky. The average kentucky
Democrat, like the average politi-
clan of every party everywhere,
places higher value upon the local
Offices than upon the National Ad-
ministration. Therefore it Is pre-
dicted that the so-called Goebel law
will not be repealed by the Legis-
lature now in session at Frankfort.
The majority of the statesmen
there assem- bled care not what be-
comes of Kentucky's electoral vote,
except in a sentimental sort of way,
so long as they can feel secure In
their control of the local and State
Offices. In view of the real danger,
however, it is said that the national
managers of the party are prepar-
ing to take hold of the subject and
endeavor to have the Goebel law
radically changed or entirely re-
pealed before the November elec-
ton comes. Kentucky's thirteen
votes may be the determining fac
tor in the Presidential contest,
and the national managers are
wise enough to appreciate the ne
cessity of removing all tempta-
ton for the Republican majority in
the Flfty-sixth Congress to steal the
Bluegrass States elector al vote"
The enactment of the Goebel
election law in Kentucky was the
cause of the revolt In the ranks of
Democratic party in the State: for
its avowed object was to steal the
State, and this Infamous law is the
cause Of the trouble that exists in
the Bluegrass State to-day.
Many of the best men in the
Democratic party Of the State
Joined hands with the opposition
to defeat their own party on &C
count Of the extremely partisan,
infamous and unfair law that dis
graces it's statute books. Now, let
us quote extracts from Democratic
papers in Kentucky in denuncia-
ton Of this election law.
The Bourbon News, in speaking
of its Ubiquitous provisions, said:
"a bill more fraught with disas.
ter and degradation to the State of |
Kentucky has never before entered
In the Kentucky legislature
The Interior Journal pronounced |
1t measure utterly subversive to |
free institutions as we'll as Demo-
cratic principles"
The Winchester Democrat said Z
1T is a force bill scarcely less odi- |
GUS than that which the Republi.
cans at Washington tried several
years ago to foist. upon the people
of the whole country. It may give
temporary advantage to the party
In power, but will eventually prove |
it's ruin"
The Versailles Sun characterized |
the G0ebel law as the "worst mea-
sure ever put before the Kentucky
Legislature.
The Lexington Argonaut severe
~ denounced it, and said:
"The passage of the Goebel cleo
ton bill will prove to be a subma.
r1ne mine, and blow the Democratic
party into utter nothingness.'
The Owingsville Outlook said: /

cratic party In the past. Nothing

In another column see an edito-
rial taken from the Washington ID.
c. Star on the Louisiana campaign.
1t quotes from the opening speech
Of Hon. Donelson Gallery, Jr., the
candidate of the allied forces for
honest elections, and comments in
terestingly thereon. It will be no
ticed that while Louisiana has al
ready adopted exactly the same
amendment that Is proposed in
North Carolina, that yet the DEM
ocratic machine is still stuffing bal
lot boxes and stealing votes to de-
feat the will Of the people who are
left to vote under that amendment.
In this connection we wish to
state and call attention to what
prominent member of the last leg
islature told us soon after the ad-
journment Of that body. He said
that Immediately after the Sim
mons ballot box stufnng election
law was passed, which denied rep
resentation to opposing political
parties and opened wide the gate
to fraud, that he went to Judge
Allen, a member OF the legislature,
and asked him how he, as an hon.
est man could favor and support
such an outrageous law. He told
US that Judge Aliens reply Was
that he knew the law was unfair
and was prepared to commit fraud
but that he would favor it for this
one election until they could get
the amendment adopted, and that
after the amendment was adopted
he would be in favor of an honest
election law. This member of the
Legislature then asked Judge Allen
If that was not a confession that a
majority Of the people were against
the amendment and the only,way
to adopt it was to stuff ballot boxes
and steal Votes to overturn the will
Of the people. He says that Judge
Allen evaded this question and
passed on by saying he would be in
favor of an honest election law here.
after.
Now, overlooking the fact that
Judge Allen is in favor of fraud
and perjury and corruption to steal
this election, can he and his party
be trusted to even give us an hon.
est election law after they have
stolen this election. If they should
succeed in stealing it? The Louis.
lana machine Democrats made the
same pledge that Judge Allen
makes. They have broken their
pledges. Will Judge Allen and his
machine followers do the samei In
this connection, let the people take
note of the pledges made by the
Democratic machine in the last
campaign that If they got in pow
er they would not try to disfran-
chise any voter, white or black.
They brazenly broke that pledge
would it be any worse for them to
break and violate this second
pledge?

The Gallery Democrats, the Re-
publicans and the Populists of Lou
fsiana have united forces in an ef-
fort to carry the State against the
Democrats at the April election.
Their candidate for Governor is
Donelson Gallery, jr., a Democrat,
who, in his letter accepting the
nomination assails the election
law of the State and pitches
the campaign in the key of opposi-
ton to that measure. He points
out the overshadowing Importance
OF the issue in the following terms !:
"Under our government of major
tiles without votes we have learned
that there may be q more odious
form of oppression than taxation
without representation, and, en-
tertng this campaign with the
threat before us of denial of repre-
sentation at the polls, we appeal
from the politicians to the people,
and announce our purpose of main
tanning our rights at the election
and after. We have no concern
now with national issues. 1t would
be vain to discuss them while the
ballot-bOx remains under the inf1u-
ence of witchcraft.
"The powers filched from the peo-
pie must be restored to them. The
ba'lot-box must be made sacred"
1t would appear from this that
the elections machinery in Louis
lana Is as much under partisan con-
troll as is that in kentucky. As
Mr.. Gallery puts it, the ballot-b box
Is "under the influence of WITCH
craft" That is to say, the polling
places are differed by Democrats
for the benefit of Democrats, and
all other candidates have no
chance. Presumably the law Will
be administered in this way at the
coming election, and. if SO, what
chance will Mr.. Gallery have of
winning out even if he has a ma
5ority Of the votes behind him?
But even If he is defeated he will
not have made his race in vain. It
Is only in this way that attention
can properly be called to these out
RACES on the suffrage. Wherever
partisan election law exists they
should be fought with vigor and
persistency. They are an offense
against freedom. The Goebel law
probably the worst of the whole
vile variety-has broken down after
the pounding administered to it
during one energetic campaign, and
all laws elsewhere that in the least
degree resemble it should be SINH
larly disposed of as speedily as pos
sible.
Mr.. Gallery is a young man who
lnherits both his pluck and his
ability. His father in the Senate
has exhibited qualities of strength
and independence in dealing with
public questions. Father and son
are standing together in this local
contest. Both are Southern
born. Both are Democrats. But
both have come to see that neither

and honest elections ought to join
hands to drive such men - Mr..
Simmons and his ballot box suffers
from power. he has never attempt
ed to answer Senator Buffers argu-
ments, but strives day and night to
appeal to prejudice and passion BY
incorporating him. It is . bad
cause that has to be supported by
such methods. Mr.. Simmons has
to be supported by such methods.
Mr.. Simmons has not grown any
better since Senator Vance defeated
his confirmation for Collector and
denounced him as being unworthy
and unfit to hold position Of honor
and trust in the State.
A subscriber writes and asks US
this question: of the next legis.
lature will put sections 4 and in
one section would not that make it
certain that II the court declared
the grandfather clause uncon-
stitutional that then the whole
amendment would fall?'
To this TIE CAUCASIAN unhesi-
tatingly answers NO. The United
States Supreme Court and the State
Court of every state in the Union,
so far as we know, have uniformly
held that the constitutional and
unconstitutional provisions OF. a
statute may be even contained In
the same section and yet be so sep
arate and distinct in their purpose
that the unconstitutional part of
the section will fall leaving the
constitutional part of the same
section to stand. In short, they
have said repeatedly that the grou-
ping Of parts of law into sections
Is purely artificial and that the
court takes no notice of it. Every
great authority on Constitutional
Limitations lays down the same
doctrine. Cooley in his great work
on Constitutional Limitations uses
almost the exact words we have
used above, and every lawyer in
North Carolina whose opinion is
worth listening to knows that this
Is so even If he should deny it.

Spain has raised new crop of heroes
he replied: "Yes!" And then he easily
called over the names of some of those
who, on sea and land, distinguished
themselves in that conflict.
Speaking of the shipload of bread
stuffs, sent on the steamship Leo BIZ
the Christian Herald for the allevia-
ton of the famine in Russia, in 1892,
he said:
How kind that was in you Ameri-
cans to send that help at time when
many of my poor countrymen SO sore
ly needed it. 1t was great mercy and
we can never forget it.
When referred to the cordiality be-
tween our nations, and the fact that
/ had talked with his father about the
interest that Russia had taken in
American affairs during our Civil War,
he said:
"Oh, yes; my father told me all
about our Russian fleets in the har-
bors Of New York and San Francisco.
to keep off your foreign enemies"
The Emperor expressed much inter-
est in our coming Presidential election,
but for which candidate he indicated
a preference l do not say. 1t would
not. be courteous to answer all the
questions that have been showered up
on me from America and Europe con-
corning this interview. He remem-
bered the royal present sent by him

Everything promises for the pres
ent Emperor a long and happy reign,
for he is admired Of all classes. and is
of temperament that will not take on
the worries of responsible place. After
we had expressed each for the other
all good wishes | retired, feeling that
| had been In the presence of a splen-
did man, and one who. by nature and
education was well fitted to reign over
a vast empire
At the close of this interview, We
were conducted by officers Of the court
into the room of the Empress. She
talked with the ladies of my family as
she would with sisters. She is very
beautiful; her cheeks are aglow with
health, and she has suavity in every
posture and word. She is taller than
the Emperor. She expresses her opin-
ion without reserve. Evidently this roy
ay marriage was a love match, and
not a martial alliance for political and
international ends. The Emperor has
three daughters. but no SON We heard
their frolic and laughter in other
rooms. The land that had an Empress
Catherine the first. and an Empress
Catherine the second, can never have
another Empress. for the law now de-
mands that man and not a woman must
govern Russia. Hence, with great IL
