THE WAY TO WIN IN KENTUCKY.

The Democrats of Kentucky are going
20 make an effort to amend the Goebel
election law. The Legislature has been
called to meet on the 18th of this month
for that purpose. There is no doubt that
the Governor has acted wisely in calling
an extra session for the purpose of
amending the law
The Democrats should not attempt to
adopt an amendment that would still
leave room for the charge that the law
was unfair Nothing would be gained by
policy of that kind. What is needed is
an absolutely fair election law. If the
Democrats should propose a law Of that
kind and the Republicans should success
fully oppose it, the responsibility for a
continuance of The present law would rest
upon them.
1t is the understanding that the Repub-
licans will oppose any action by the Leg
stature They are afraid that if the
law were made satisfactory to fair minded
men, those Democrats who are now act
ing with the Republicans. because Of the
unfair election law, would return TO the
Democratic party. They want to keep
the two factions of the democracy of the
state apart
There are some Democrats who are
against amending the law. though it is
not clear why they should be, except that
the charge will be made, probably, that if
it had not been for the unfair law the
Republicans would now have control of
the state Bus 1t is better that such a
charge should be made than that an un-
just law should remain in force. In COM
menting on the call for an extra session
the Louisville Courier-Journal says: mo
party can prosper by a lazy which carries
even semblance of unfairness into the
voting booths and the canvassing boards.
The Democrats only want a law which
will secure an honest ballot. in the noun
tans as well as in the lowlands." 1t is
true that no party can prosper by I'M
fair means. 1t may gain one or two sue
cesses by such means, but as soon as the
people are satisfied that it is not honest
they will desert it,
The election in Kentucky this fall will
be one of the most important ever held
in the state. The Democrats cannot af
ford to lose it. And if they carry 1t
there must be no grounds for contesting
it, If the presidential election should
turn on the election in Kentucky the Re-
publicans would not hesitate to attack
the election law, should the present iaw
remain in force, and should it ap-
pear that there was something for them
to gain by attacking it successfully.
The sessions of the Legislature will be
watched with interest throughout the
country. They will have more than a
local interest. II is within the bounds of
probability that they will have an import
ant bearing on the presidential election.

The New York Tribune of rebid anti
Southern proclivities, has at last spoken
with reference to the recent work of the
mob in that city. The Tribune claims to
find this point Of difference between the
New York riot and that in New Orleans:
"Not a single word has been said by any
reputable citizen of New York in defense
of the rioters or in palhation of their
acts" This is a remarkable discovery on
the part of the Tribune which appears
to conclude that the rioting in New Or
leans and race troubles which have taken
place in other sections of the South. have
been sanctioned by reputable citizens.
The Tribune knows or should know. that
such il not the case. It knows that repu-
table citizens of the South at all times
deplore such lawlessness and condemn the
Niolators Of the law. Il would appear
therefore as If the Trbune's statement is
somewhat Of a wilful peryersion Of the
truth.

PoLITENEss IN BUSINESS LETTERS.

The Haberdasher, trade publication,
proposes a reform" in business letter
writing. 1t wishes to dispense. with the
Dear sir" with which such letters are
begun, and the Yours respectfully" or
Yours truly" with which they are con-
cluded. "Such phrases" it says, ARE
admittedly absolutely meaningless. They
are soft words and they butter no pars-
nips.' Little by little the forms of adj
dress have been condensed until such old
school phrases as My dear and respected
sir" and your humble and obedient SER
want are obsolete. Why not continue
the good work and reform it altogether?
Why not adopt the following sensible,
straightway, businesslike form: John
Smith & Co.: We wish to order, etc. T.
Brown & CO. That is what we mean.
Why not say it and stop?"
There are certain amenities of conversa-
ton and communication which cannot be
breeding; and abe person who attempts to
brush them aside as superfuous pro-
claims himself a boor. Because a man
chances to be in business is no reason why
he should take it upon himself to address
his correspondents in an abrupt, brusque
manner for the sole reason that few
short, sharp words would express his
IDEAS more quickly than a fuller, better
rounded and more courteous sentence.
Brusqueness on the part of one parry
is more than apt to breed contempt on tine
part of the other.
"Why not say what we mean, and then
stop" asks the Haberdasher In other
words, why not sacrifice good manners
20 commercialism? Why not quit assur-
ing ones correspondent of the respect and
friendly interest felt for him because it
takes time and effort to write the few
words necessary? In our mad rush to
make money we have already sacrificed
large proportion of that nice courtesy
and Difference which formerly charactel- :
lied even business CORES ondence, be
cause it took time. Having so small n
stock of 1t left, can we afford to dis
ourselves down a nation of brusque and
boorlsh money seekers ready to lop off
any evidence of refinement that stands
ir the way of speed in rushing through
business? Furthermore, the courtesies
in addresses and conclusions of business
letters are largely machine-made, and
hence cost little. They are put in by the
lady typist or the gentleman stenographer,
hence take none of the boss " time
Nevertheless the "boss" gets the credit
for the sentiments and his correspondents
think the better of him for them II
would be q small and unbecoming thing
20 eliminate the, Dear sir" and the
Yours truly from business letters.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Springfield CMass) Republican
Und) has this interesting comment on
the New York riot of Wednesday night:
'As for justification there was none in
either case but, when that has been said.
1t is only fair 10 brand New York as
more wanton in its savagery than New
Orleans. The negro murderer in the
Southern city killed three policemen. in
stead of one. The black race down there
is about half the entire population, and
race antagonism has been DEVELOPED
through social and political agencies
since the days when the blacks in New
Orleans were slaves. In New York the
colored popula ton is infinitesimal in the
whole; as social and political factor
it has always been too insignificant TO be
seriously considered in the city's life
Yet the New York mob was al work
within a month after the mob at New
Orleans and was fully equal to II On in
discriminate, ferocious assault upon inno-
cent peaceable citizens. whose only Of
Tense was the color of their skins.
1T is ddle to condone the New York
outbreak on the ground that the riot
ers were for the most part hoodums
The rioters in New Orleans were for the
most part hoodlums. The truth is that
hoodlums generally possess all the pas
sions and share all the prejudices which
fill the heart of a community. In race
questions especially they feel the same
antagonisms that the better element
feel the chief difference being thar the
hoodums have less self control When
riots like these occur a whole city is
guilty"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says
of the future policy with regard to China;
tt,T,,a bis+or,, % oopo,,as+ 90 oIio,, ,,oo,,,ao
by European nations affords no warrant
for the belief that any foreign Power. inn
bued with ideas of modern civilization,
could find political or commercial ad-
vantage in exercising nominal dominion
over vast areas of the Chinese empire.
Such an undertaking would be an exper-
iment unprecedented in the worlds an
nails and fraught with grave responsible
ties and possible dangers. The Chinese
could not be exterminated, like African
tribes or American aborigines. nor could
they be set against each other in tribal
antagonisms, like the hordes of India.
Pecuniary, not territorial, indemnity
would be wise choice at this juncture
on the part of the Powers"
F4oridas convict lease system is pro-
voking much adverse comment. The
Gainesville OSla.) Sun Dem) says: THE
people of che whole state are interested
in the convict question, and IL is not
wonderful that there is a general kick
along the whole line in opposition to the
system now In vogue. The best way to
reform the system Is to wipe IL Que root
and branch. No man who will not pledge
himself TO vote to- abolish the disgrace
should be sent to the Legislature. The
patience Of the people has been severely
taxed and the regret Is well nigh uni
versal that the convict labor lease shame
cannot be done away with previous to the
meeting Of the next legislature"

The effect OF the disease known as
brown rot" which caused so much de-
struction in the orchards of the state this
year, has been felt seriously by the Geor-
gia fruit growers for the first time, and
this fact has led the state experiment
station TO make a study of that fruit
malady with view to preventing such
great loss in future fruit years. The dis
ease was spread rapidly in the peach
orchards during June and July by the
heavy rains, and there was scarcely a
grower who did not suffer seriously The
work being done by the experiment sta
ton has in view the application of a saf
and effective remedy for this disease, and
