According to our Frankfort dispatches
special train OF eighteen coaches, loaded
with Republican mountain militia, rolled
into Frankfort yesterday morning. The
men detrained in military order, marched
TO the Statehouse square. stacked arms,
ana went into camp. The strangest part
al the proceeding is that both Governor
Taylor and KentUcky's Adjutant General
declare that they know nothing about the
movement; that they have not nor either
of them ordered out any troops; ana that
this gathering of three organized and
armed battalions is nothing more than one
of individual peaceable citizens who have
been summoned as witnesses before the
legislative committees.
No doubt the facts are exactly as stated
bt the governor and his adjutant general,
and il is probable that, TO people familiar
with Kentucky customs and methods, there
is nothing calculated to cause surprise In
the accidental meeting of a thousand or
twelve hundred witnesses" at a place
where there happens to be standing a spe
cial train Of eighteen cars. The sight Of a
great many such Witnesses dressed in
militia uniform elsewhere might occasion
comment. In the Blue Grass State par
ticularly in the Hatfield Mccoy district.
which is solidly Republican, probably
many citizens have no other than military
clothes That would be natural, as they
are always on the warpath.
There are some things connected with
this new and interesting development ia
popular recognition of legal and legislative
processes that remind one pleasantly of
the opening days OF the French Revolution.
There is the same cheerful consumption OF
ardent spirits, the same carelessness about
the use of firearms and the same casual
invasion OF the capital by armed men.
One of the martial witnesses" with big
gun strapped to his waist is reported as
having walked up to Senator Goebel on the
door of the Senate and engaged him in an
agreeable conversation which was imperti-
nentIy interrupted by the sergeant-at
arms BY today it is possible that the
whole three battalions of witnesses" may
take 4 fancy to visit the chamber and run
things for a while on their own account.

Ardandhu was looking at his charts.

morning and saw the Winter coming down

The sepate,s Rcnnke 10 Gage.

To be entirely fair to the Secretary Of
the Treasury. We are not quite convinced
that the Republican leaders in the Senate
really intended a rebuke to him in ignoring
his request fer an appropriation in the
Urgent Deficiency bill To cover the rent he
wishes TO pay to the Standard Oil Bank

the committee omitted the item in making
its report. il doubtless did so in fear of

+ t. reported that another literary hoax
has been perpetrated upon an innocent and
IonC-suifering public. As nothing of the
kind has happened since the experience Of
Louis de Rougclnont was revealed a year or
two ago, jhe public was. Of course, quite
unprcpared. The fact is that the provern
about truth being stranger than fiction
has been SO thoroughly ingrained in peo-
pies minds that certain clever stOry-tell-
ers have taken advantage of it and told
fctions. purporting to be true under the
shelter Of that time-honored saying. The
latest of these literary adventurers is a
Young man. by the name Of William Jane
son Reid.
Mir. Reid perused a book about Tibet
in which the suHevings of a traveller at the
hands OF the natives were chronicled, and
II evidently occurred to him that he could
do almost as well as that himself. if he
lei his imagination run riot He had the
advantage. of course of a field practically
unknown 10 the majority of English and
American readers. So he wrote another
book about Tibet, claiming to have visited
places never before seen by Caucasians
and TO have had numerous and thrilling
adventures These incidents, loosely
strung together. made a lively and pic
turesque narrative. and there would no,
be much chance that the average reader or
q critic would detect its falsity. since the
regions described were impenetrable to ex.
plOrers until 4 very recent date. And all
the time that Mr. Reid was supposed TO be
having these wild adventures, he was
staying in Boston and working on a daily
paper. Hereafter no book about Tibet
will be accepted as genuine without the
endorsement Of at least three scientific
societies and several men with sections
of the alphabet after their names.
But. after all, when one comes 10 think
CT it, the young mans duplicity is not so
very wonderful from a moral point of view.
II is human nature 10 enjoy the telling of
fairy tales to credulcus people who believe
them. Fer centuries such tales were told,

they fought for il all the same Later. we
have seen people who ostracise others for
refusing 10 admit that the world was ma e

Now we find a small colony of Dutchmen

History of the RHbaiyat.

II was in 1S59-iust forty years ago-that
Fitzgerads now celebrated paraphrase OF the
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam made its fiSc ap-
pearance in England. 1t was published snony-
mously and is described by Mr. Bernard Quar-
itch, the welkn0wn London publisher. as "a
little insignificant looking. frown-papercd-cov

seventy five quatrains, and OF the little brown
paper-covered pamphlets but $50 were printed
ef these Mr.. Fitzgerald kept fifty, and gave the
remaining 200 to Mr.. Quaritch, who sold con
siderable number Of them for penny each
for the simple reason that he could get more.
Remembering this fact, it is interesting to note
that in 1898 single copy OF this first edition
was sold at auction in London for twenty-oBe

De Armond of Missouri and Littleheld Of

bre OF the two men. They met for the
first time after they were appointed on
the special committee to which the Rob-
erts contest was referred. took the same
view CT the case from the start and COL
latorated together in preparing the mi
nority report. The Missouran was placed
at decided disadvantage in the matter of
presenting his argument to the House, in
that he was assigned to close the debate
for the minority and the wonderful sweep
of Mr.. Litt1efeld's logic in opening the de-
bate for that side left Judge De Armond
little to talk about Nevertheless, he made
a speech that touched only on the lesser
phases of the principles involved which
showed what an unusually close reasoner
and high class lawyer he is. Judge De
Almond received the most respectful at

ing and delivered blows to the timid op-
position that made many a one of them
