Kentucky and the Administration.

II the Administration is sincere in its
reported determination not to use Federal
troops in support OF Taylor. and for the
protection OF Governor Goebel's murderers.
the President is to be congratulated on es-
Gaping at least one political pitfan What
ever may have appeared to be the partisan
possibilities in Kentucky a week or ten
days ago, at which time there is little
doubt that interference WAS seriously con-
templated the whole situation has been
changed since Golden. one OF the assassius-
tiou oonspirators, turned States evidence
and revealed part OF the plot which cul-
minated in the death OF Governor Goebel.
and was intended to include the massacre
Of the Democratic Senators and Represen-
tatives in the Legislature.
During the past two days there has been
a desperate effort on the part Of Repub-
lcans in Kentucky TO howl down the con-
fessiOu Of Golden, and. II it stood alone
and uncorroborated. perhaps they might
succeed in partially discrediting 1t. But
the independent confessions OF Captain
CuIton and Taylor's stenograpber. Yout-
sey. voluntarily made last night. will put
a sudden end to all contention that the
state is not armed with evidence upon
which to hang its-css and probably to
hang its men
Culton's statement. which has not yet
been published. is by far more important
! to the cause Of justice than GOlden's. for
/ Culton is man OF parts and influence
/ and has been an active leader OF tho Tay-
lorite insurrection from the start His
/ confession is said to have been made only
| after the most urgent solicitations Of his
J dying wife. who knew Of the plot while II
/ was Matching. and tried to Illustrate % by
| warning Governor Goebel For days she
/ has been pleading with her husband "a
; free his soul by making a clean breast OF
/ his knowledge Of and connection with the
| assassination conspiracy. and by helping
| the state 10 bring his blood stained COM
/ paniOns in crime to justice.
! The confessions of Cultou and Youtsey
will render certain prominent Republican,
/ more than ever anxious for recognition
by the Administration and for the proiec-
tion Of Federal bayoneis against The civil
process Of the courts. But the same deyel-
opmei Is will render il too dangerous C
meet their natural views on the subject
We are almost on the eve OF a Presidential
election. and any entanglement with as,
sassinatiou conspirators. even long after tn,
fact. added to the conspiracy to Cypress
Porto Rico and violate the Constitution foI
the benefit Of the trusts. in which the Ad-
ministration has recently been implicated
would be sure to have consequences Of a
painful political character. So We are
very much inclined TO believe the an.
nouncement'tbat there will be no Federal
interference in Kentucky.

There is a friendly and charming infor-
mality about the European open-door as
surances to this country which are GER
tainly pleasant 10 contemplate. but which
would hardly hold anybody very tight and
fast if any one OF the promissors we're to
happen TO change his mind. When Eng
land wants to bind another state she rigs
up a Clayton Bulwer Treaty. and then fxes
it so that violation on her part shall not
be construed as permitting the same thing
or a release to the party Of the other part.
Our splendid diplomacy does not yet ap-
pear to be up TO that variety of trick. We
are satisfied with a slap on the back and a
why. certainly. Of course: don't men

The EIkins BOOm.-Admirers Of the
Hon stephen Benton EIkins declare that
his Vice Presidential boom is progressing
finely. They base this observation upon
the circumstance that the West Virginia
slate. as made up by him, is meeting with
unanimous approval all over the Noun
tain State At the head OF this slate is
the name OF one Mr.. White Collector Of
Internal Revenue. and it is presumed that
the Administration at Washington has
given Senator Elkins permission TO use
this Federal official in any way he may
think will advance his own political in
terests. BY the same process OF reason
ing the conclusion is reached that the Ad-
ministration is not averse to the Vice
Presidential ambitions of the astute and
altogether delightful Mr.. Elkns IL is
said that even the Hon. Romeo Freer. who
for a while found il necessary to pay more
attention TO politics at home than TO his
duties as a Representative in Congress-
has withdrawn from the gubernatoriaI race
in favor OF Senator Elldns candidate. Col
lectOT White. II is supposed that Mr.
FTeer's submission to the will of Mr.
Elkins means the utmost harmony among
West Virginia Republicans upon all i'm
pOrtant political issues. the PaOst import
ant 10 some OF WhOm at present naturally
is the candidacy of Senator Elkas for
second place on the ticket with Mr. Nc
Kinley- So enthusiastic have some OF them
grown that they declare their distinguished
statesman ought to be at the head Of the
ticket. with Mr.. Mckinley at the tail
Senator Elkins is known TO be on excel
leat terms with Mr.. Hanna as well as
Mr.. Mckinley and this is accounted an
insuperable advantage over ali such can
didates as the Hon. Timothy l.. Woodruff
It is almost certain that Mr.. EIkins can
not be reelected 10 the Senate by the next
Legislature, as the Democrats con
troll the majority OF the legisla-
tive districts that were recently gerry
wandered against him. SO anxious are the
Republican managers to keep him in pub
lie life that Il is thought they will gladly
do all they can in a quiet way TO make
him Mr.. McKinley's running mate. Sena-
tor Elkins is being posed by them now as
a tried and trusted friend of the always
creduloUs workingman.
