KENTUCKY GOvERNORsHIP.
United States Supreme Court Decides
i'm Favor OF Beckham.

Washington, May 21.-The q. 8.
Supreme Court to-day decided the
Kentucky Governorship case in favor
of Democratic Governor Beckham, III
both quo warranto and the equity
proceedings. For want OF jurisdic.
ton the court dismissed the writ OF
error from the Kentucky Court of
Appeals. The opinion was handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller and a
vigorous dissenting opinion was de-
livered by Justice Harlan, the only
one to advocate reversal OF the Ken
lucky court decision. Justices
Brewer, Brown and McKenna also
dissented from portions of the opin>
ion.
In dismissing the writ OF error the
Chief Justice said the court should
be the last to overstep the bounds
| limiting its own jurisdiction, and
that in the determination OF cases OF
this character, contests for State
offices must necessarily be settled by
the political branch Of the Govern
ment. That branch had acted in the
Kentucky case when the General
Assembly took Jurisdiction. There
was no appeal from the Assembly's
decision, which was favorable to
Goebel and Beckham, except to the
tribunal of the people, which tribu
nal the Chief Justice said was always
In session.
The Chief Justice quoted numer'
GUS decisions, holding that public
offices are mere agencies or trusts,
and not property as such, nor are the
salary and emoluments property, Sc
cured by contract, but compensation
for services actually rendered.
After quoting Section A, article 4
of the Constitution, in which the
United States guarantees to every
State a republican form OF govern
ment, etc the court says it was long
since settled that the enforcement of
this guarantee belonged to the poll
tical department.

Mr.. GOrman's Prediction.

New York, May 19th.-"1 regard
the nomination of Bryan for the
Presidency by the Democratic party
as matter that is as nearly settled
as anything could be in advance Of
it's actual occurrence. The fight viii
be between Bryan and Mckinley"
So spoke ex Senator A. P. German
of Maryland, last night in the
Waldorf-Astoria, in chat upon the
political outlook. Mr.. German wal
never in better humor, and, contrary
to his usual habit, spoke of the use
of his own name in connection with
the nomination, made by Wharton
Barker, of Philadelphia. Said he:
My ambition was fully gratifieG
when / came to occupy seat in the
United States Senate, in which haC
worked as boy. That was an honor
which long coveted, and it gratl1ec
the highest ambition that l ever en-
tertained. l appreciate all these
kindly references to myself; but Mr.
Bryan will be the Democratic candi'
date, and there Will be practically nc
opposition to him in the National
Convention"
Asked his opinion of Bryan''
chances, Mr.. German said it was
something that no one could safely
utter prediction about. Look,
said he, ut the enormous vote polleo
10y hun in 1896, when the party was
practically without organization
adequate campaign funds and divi'
died."
Mr.. German said that, owing to
the condition of his health, brought
about by overwork in the Senate, he
would not participate in the manage
ment of the campaign, although he
naturally would be gratified at the
success of the Democratic party. He
is here on purely private business;
he attended no political conferences,
and expects to return to Maryland
tomorrow.

The reports from South Africa
seem to indicate that the powers OF
the Beers is being rapidly exhausted
and that they cannot hold out much
longer against the vast forces that
gradually but surely are forcing them
from one point to another. 1t may
be possible to defer the inevitable a
few weeks, possibly for few months
but the end will be the same, and the
terms to the Beers the same as now.
Unconditional surrender will be the
only terms offered by Great Britain
and the Beers will get no better il
they resist until the British flag floats
over the Government house at Pro
topa. The Beers realize that fact, land
being unable to save their indepen'
deuce, it remains to be seen, whether
they will accept these terms now and
try to save the homes they have
created by years of toll and priva-
ton, or continue the fight to finish,
which the latest reports seem to show
they mean to do.

Admiral Dewey, if reported cor
rectly, has not only arrived at the
con clusion that he is not in the race
for the Presidency but now does not
see "how he ever came to get the
idea that he would like to be Presi-
dent" He is not even ''sore" after
the manner of the average disap-
pointed Office seeker. On the con-
trary he seems TO congratulate him
self that the honor will not fall to
him. He says "he ought to be salts
fed with the fact that he has a high
station, a comfortable and happy
home. the esteem of his countrymen
and the satisfaction that he per-
formed a service for them in a way
to win their approval"

The Methodist Episcopal General

The Methodist Episcopal General
Conference, in session at Chicago
Tuesday, changed the constitution OF
the church so as to admit women to
its general and lay conferences. The
controversy over admitting them has
been going on for years and the priv
lege was refus ed them until the pres.
emit conference. Tuesday they won
with little opposition, the question
being settled by the adoption Of an
amendment to the constitution sub
shutting the words "lay members
for "laymen" wherever the latter
occurred. The Conference also de-
cided to remove the time limit for
pastors.

Beware Of a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron>
chitis, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their first
indication a persistent cough, and II
properly treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has proven
wonderfully successful, and gained
it's wide reputation and extensive sale
by its success in curing the diseases
which cause coughing. If it is not
beneficial it will not cost you cent.

disposes ofthe claims Of the former to
a seat ia Congress, in way that will
be very agreeable to the people gen
orally of Virginia, and means. We
hope, his retirement forever to pri-
vate life. AS public man ne has de-
famed his State too much for anyone
to sympathize with him in his down
fall and has proven himself too much
a foe to her best interests for the
people of Virginia ever to be willing
to trust him again. There ought to
be no doubt, at least so far as Virgin
la is concerned, that he will be "a
statesman without job" in the
future.

The Richmond Carnival closed Sat.
urday night in a blaze of glory. 1t is
practically settled that these festiv-
tiles will be repeated every year. 1t is
estimated that there were 100000 Wis.
itors in Richmond during the carni-
val. The festivities closed with a
grand parade and mimic Mardi Gras.
The parade was the largest of the
week. and was reviewed by Rex, who
abdicated his throne at midnight.
The feature of the procession was the
appearance of large delegations rep
resenting the secret orders.
