THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

The political situation In Kentucky
has been very complicated, and has
changed, and is still changing, from
day to day. There are certain facts,
however, that may be kept in mind,
which may be a guide in interpreting
the news as it comes.
First-The election for governor and
other state officers was conducted un-
der the Goebel law, by the provisions
of which the election judges in every
precinct, instead of being selected by
their neighbors, were appointed by
three Democratic election commission
ers. The returns sent in by these
judges We're counted by Il board of
three election commissioners, all OF
whom We're Democrats: and these COM
missioners counted the returns, and
found that Taylor was elected, and
gave him the certificate; and he was
duly inaugurated as governor. There
can be no reasonable doubt that lay
lor was elected governor.
Second-The Legislature met, and a
contest was started by Goebel and
Beckham for the offices of governor
and lieutenant governor. The legisla-
tive committee contained ten Demo
Gratis and one Republican, and their re
port was strictly partisan. Before it
had been acted upon the shooting of
Goebel occurred, and the public mind
was infiamed and both sides We're
armed. Governor Taylor by virtue of
the authority vested in him by the con-
stitution, adjourned the Legislature
for a certain time, on the ground that
an insurrection was in progress.
Whether there was an insurrection or
not was a matter of fact, and the gov
ernor was the sole judge of the fact.
If he adjourned the Legislature when
there was no insurrection, he exceeded
his authority, and is liable to impeach-
ment by formal legal process. But the
Democrats in the Legislature refused
to be adjourned to the place designated
by the governor, and have met in Lou
isville.
Third-At this writing a legal major
ity of the Legislature has not decided,
by formal vote in session, that Goebel
was elected. A round robin" was
passed around among them, on the
street, and was signed by them, but
there has been no declaration made in
session, as provided by law.
In view of these facts, it is easy to
see why Governor Taylor did not has
ten to lay down his office, on the
strength of mere promise by a cem-
mittee of Democrats that the Goebel
law should be modified.

Within the last few years a great
change has come over the shipping of
the great lakes. New steamers of large
tonnage and vast carrying capacity
have been gradually substituted for the
fleet of small vessels that have en-
gagged in lake commerce since 1918,
when the first steamboat sailed from
Buffalo to Detroit. But the coming
years are to witness even greater
changes. Saturday a new steamer, the
John w. Gates, the largest ever con-
structed on the lakes, was launched at
Lorain, Ohio. This vessel has been
built for the American Steamship com
pany, which already owns some of the
largest vessels that ply between Buf-
falo. Chicago and Duluth. 1t is 500 feet
long and is the first that has been com
pleted of four of equal length and
tonnage. These large vessels are ex-
pected greatly to economic time and
expense in transporting the heavy lines
of freight.

Mediation.

A few days ago, in the interests of
peace, the Sun commended to the atten-
ton of the two belligerents in South
Africa, the following passage in the
message which President Mckinley
had addressed to the American Con-
gress after hostilities had begun:
This government has maintained an
attitude of neutrality in the unfortun-
ate contest between Great Britain and
the Boer states of Africa. We have
remained faithful to the precept of
avoiding entangling alliances as to af-
fairs not of our direct concern. Had
circumstance suggested that the par
ties to the quarrel would have welcom-
ed any kindly expression of the hope of
the American people that war might be
avoided, good offices would have been
gladly rendered"
This will be timely reading ut every
attempt to make capital at Republican
expense out of this governments sedu-
lous avoidance of rushing in as med
iator, without invitation or intimation
that our offer would be welcome In it
Mr.. Mckinley, so far as was consistent
with the neutrality that he, as Pres
ident of the United States, was bound
rigidly to observe, expressed the
American aversion to the war and the
longing to see it closed before an At
be conquered by a European monarchy
even though the latter during the
Spanish war had been friendly to the
United States.
Yesterday the Sun published a por-
ton or The Hague conference, yet to
be ratified by the Senate, which
strengthens the reason why the policy
already announced by the adminstra-
ton should be maintained:
Nothing contained in this conven-
the United States of America to depart
from it's traditional policy of not in
truding upon, interfering with, or en-
tangling itself in the political ques-
tions or policy or internal administra-
ton of any foreign state; no shall any
thing contained in the said convention
be construed to imply REIMBURSEMENT
by the United States of America of its
traditional attitude toward purely
American questions"
This, the Monroe doctrine, is found in
the convention recently undertaken by
the civilized nations of the world, not,
it is true, as n rule possessing the force
of treaty, but as an international the
ory formulated at The Hague and plac-
ed upon the running record of the con-
clusions of the conference without OBJ
lection. The time for mediation will
be when both belligerents ask for it,
not before.-New York Sun.

Mrs. Leland Stanford states that
she has now disposed of every vestige
of the enormous fortune bequeathed to
her by the late Senator Stanford, and
has recently signed deeds transferring
all his real estate to the trustees of
Leland Stanford university. This in
cludes the largest cattle ranches, horse
breeding establishments and vineyards
in the world, with various farms,
country houses and large tracts of wild
land. The deed covered sixty-six pages
of typewriter manuscript. and re-
quired $1,000 il internal revenue
stamps. Mrs. Stanford mad previously
transferred to the trustees of the uni
versity all her personal estate, embrac-
ing stocks and bonds valued at S15,-
100000, and, so far as actual ownership
of property is concerned, she is now as
destitute as on the day on which she
was born. She has a contract, how
ever, with the trustees, under which
she is to receive for life an annuity of
S25, 900, to be used as she pleases, and
all her relatives were literally pyo-

AN HONEST CONFESSION

The Tribune takes little stock in bond-bood,ing arguments used aseln1t Governor Murphy. Tnc digcussion of the case s) fur has put Yavapli county and it's officials in a much worse light than it has Governor AIurph- Candcf- compels us to admit this"-EX cerpt from editorial in Florence T-ib- une.
 The text above quoted is un1oubt- edly the words of Editor Reppy, and removes him without further argu- ment from the class of so-calIed news paper editors whose principal stock in mental store specially during polit- ical canpaigIs-con of villifcation, abuse and tirade of an opponent and natural ability during times of peace to conduct a newspaper, consists prin- ciraly of no ability and blank ign0- rance.
 The words above quoted trutifully say: The discussion of the case so far has put Yavapai county officials in q much worse light than it has Govera- or murphy."
 Those bonds ar just debt against Yavapai county. Every man and pur- chaser who invested d cent in thosa bonds is entitled to and deserves his money. Yavapais action in repudiat- ing those bonds is no more honorable than for an inifvidua l to borrow a thousand dollars today and deny the borrowing tomorrow and att: mpt to re- pudiate the payment t0 the lcaner.
 GoYerncG' Murphy can read his Jitle clear on the Yavapai bond deal, al he can on all other Of his public acts. His one aim in an official capacity has been singly to the upholding the dig nity of Arizona and her general wei fare. He is thoroughly competent and able in all ways to represent Arizona in the halls of national legislation. With a repu5ii,an president and a r. publican congress the election of Hon. Marcus A. Smith just at this time as against Governor Murphy would be sufficient proof that the majority of the voters of Arizona could and should be classed with the maturer results of ev- olCLton-nCt by the old theory-from the monkey, but from the new-the ass.

Certain democrats who have been asked to regard the election of N.
 O. Murphy to con-
 A BUSI- gr5cs as a purely busf- NESS PROP ness proposition have
 OSITION. intimated that the con
 ditions would not war rant any such assumption; that similar conditions had prevailed before, and that statehood had not resulted. We beg to say to all who may entertain this view that never before was the election of a republican to congress of such vital importance to the territory as now.
 When Governor Murphy was a de!e- gate to congress the democrats were in power. MT. Cleveland, who was presi- dent. was unalterably opposed to the admission of Arizona. He was not even polite in his replies to those who urged him to endorse the statehood idea. He regarded the republican dele gate as little better than an interloper. MT. Murphy did the best he could in the circumstances, but the political situation in congress was against him. Delegate Wilson found like condi- tions confronting him when he entered congress. The house and senate were republican. He was a democrat. AL though a great many people take the high ground that politics should not stand in the way of the rights of a de- serving people, the fact remains that politics is bound to dominate the ques- tion of the admission of a territory. This is well understood in Washington and the sooner 1t is understood in Ari- zona the better it will be for all con- cerned.
 Accepting the truth of this state ment,, which cannot be controverted, it must be plain Ito every thinking man that the conditions now call for the eX- ercise of good business sense on the part of the voters of Arizona. The president, a republican, is certain to be reelected. The congress, republican, is certain to be republican for four years more. If there is any man in Arizona who doubts this, and has any money with which to back his opinion, he will find plenty of opportunities to wager 1t at attractive odds.
 Governor Murphy is endorsed by the president who has given him the as- surance that he will be glad to exert his powerful influence for statehood. The governor also has the promise of prominent men in both houses of con- gross to do their utmost for statehood

 passed a statehood bill through one house, only to have it die in the other Great record, isn't it? Mark did it, even if he was aided ait the time by a strong lobby from Phoenix, Tucson and Prescott. One of the Arizona
 workers for statehood then in Wash ingtOn was one N. O. Murphy there at his own expense, wf,h no brass band attachment, there only to secure state hood for the territory. When Mark was delegate, Arizona always had toN send special delegations to Washington when anything was wanted. It was said at the tins that Mark had too hard a time maintaining his poker record against the Washington experts to have much time to devote to the house of repre- sentatives or to the interests of his constituents. But, leaving out refer ence to the prominent AriZonians who aided, they say that Mark was really h congress when a statehood bill slipped through the house. Bueno. Magniflca.

Bryan by an over whelming majority, which is as certain to be accomplished next Tuesday as that the sun will I.se on that morning coupled with the elec- tion of a strong republican ma jority in the next congress, which also will be made certain on that day, will operate to lessen the objection to the admission of any new states. If Ariz ona gees republican the pathway to statehood will be clear of all obstruc- ticns. Mir Murphy will go to congress, will find himself in the house of fis friends, and will have powerful aid in accomplishing the desires of his con- stituents. This is the situation in a nut shell.
 No Arizonian who places business considerations above politics can deny this. If the people of Arizona desire statehood, and we believe that they do. they will accept the situation, which is as plain as pike staff, and throw their influence to N. O. Murphy. If they are not in earnest, they will miss a glorious opportunity and Arizona will continue to lag behind in the national race. The Republican believes that the voters of this territory are in earnest, and that on next Tuesday they will let the country know that at last Arizona Is in line for the blessings which statehood will bring.
