THE SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.

Conflicting reports of existing polit
ical conditions come from Kentucky.
Republicans and disgruntled Demo
Gratis claim that the murder of Goebel
will not have any malign influence on
the campaign; but, on the contrary
that the best element of both parties
are determined to purify" the politics
of the State. On the other hand, the
"unterriied Democracy" maintain that
the murder, evidently instigated by the
high officials of the opposing party, SO
shocked the moral sense of the best
and more law abiding citizens of all
factions and parties throughout the
State that they are determined to put
the seal of their condemnation upon
the Infamous act. Moreover Mr.. Wat
terson, who has always been power
in the State, is now a strong supporter
of the Bryan ticket, Nothing, however,
can be expected from such eminently
genteel so-called Democrats as Mr..
John Young Brown and General Boil
livar Buckner, statesman who never
fathered bill and general who never
won a battle. But for the detection of
these worthless and others of their llk
the Democratic majority at the State
election would have been so large as
to preclude any hope for the Repub-
llcans from contest or assassination.
That they were directly responsible for
the disgraceful events that have stained
the annals of the Blue Grass State goes
without saying, though, wrapped in the
mantle of self-righteousness and polit-
ical purity, they of couse fail to realize
the enormity of their crime. New

RATHER FRANK, BUT SELFISH.

A southern imperialist says; 4 am
in favor of this country taking what it
can and keeping all it grabs, This is,
at least, frank statement, but where
does the moral principle come in? The
south used to boast of her "chivalry"-
her nice sense of honor, her love of
freedom for herself and countries striv-
ing to be free. When she grows sordid,
selfish and mercenary, careless of the
rights of others, she will have parted
with her noblest heritage, and become
worse than the money changers of
other sections, The southern imperi-
alist is ordinarily guided by business
considerations, or rather what he i'm
AGNES to be such But some of our
imperialists are just now getting BIT
ter taste, even in business, Of what
imperialism really means, and they
will, later on, have to drink deeper
and more unpaIatable waters. Augusta

WILL FIGHT FOR CENTURIES.

The London correspondent of the
New York Evening Post cables that a
French friend sends him some notes
of an interview he had this week with
member of the Chinese imperial COM
mission now in Paris. The educated
ChInaman said:
We are ready to fight all Europe.
We have an army you cannot overcome.
All the countries in the world may try
it in vain, we will astonish the world.
We are of heaven, and above us is
the sky alone. You foreign devils, we
will cut you all in pieces.
Japan has horace quarrel with China.
On the contrary, Japan will never see
China dismembered by the white
races. The yellow races will event
ually unite, and now that China Is
awake they will overrun Europe. Our
countless millions and our wealth must
tell in the long run.
One, two or three centuries-what is
that in the life of a country like China?
This was an expression from an edu-
Gated Chinaman, and if these are his
views, what can be expected of the
lower order? We shall learn more of
these people in the next six months
than we have known before in all our
history.

A COLLISION.
Two Trains Meet Near the Re.
finery-EnRineer Whelan has
Leg Broken.

The excursion train bearing
several hundred New Iberia people
who had come here to see Buffalo
Bills show, collided with an in
coming freight train near the re-
inery last Wednesday night. The
people were badly shaken up. some
had their faces bruised while some
received other injuries of a slight
character.
1t appears that the freight. on
which were Engineer Whelan and
Conductor Bulge, failed to cor
rectly read an order and instead of
stopping at Landry's switch, hur-
ried on to Lafayette. When a point
near the refinery was reached both
trains met. John Waters saw it in
time to reverse the engine of the
excursion train thus lessening the
approaching danger. He and the
fireman then stepped off the engine
and sought a place of safety. The
freight came down at a pretty
fast speed and just before the COLI
sion Engineer Whelan and the
fireman jumped off the engine.
Engineer Whelan had leg broken
near the ankle as result of the
jump.
The clash is said to have been
terrific. The engines were greatly
damaged. The wreck delayed a few
tt aims several hours.
81 did my best" said Whelan in
speaking to a Tlmes-Democrat re-
porter, 'but the effort was unsuc-
cessful. Both engines came to-

AFTER ANCIENT LAND
Marks.

Former Lieut.. Gov. d. b. Penn
is the last Democrat to join the Re-
publican party because the Dem
ocracy 'shas drifted from the an
cient landmarks"
In his anxiety to find the Scar
dinal principles of the Democratic
party" Gov. Penn has gone into
the party of trusts, imperialism and
Diugleyism.
In letter to the Union League
Gov. Penn tells what a good De-
mocrat he has been; then he goes
on to advocate every one of the
principles enunciated by the Repub-
lican platform. Gov. Penn is an
American citizen and As such pos
sesses the right TO vote for McKin-
ley and Roosevelt. but he should
not affect. to appear in the role of
the patriot who is making a still
hunt tor s'anCient landmarks.
The Democrat who can not con-
scientiously support Bryan but finds
no trouble in swallowing Hanna
and Mckinley should not talk
about .'cardinal principles" and
.sancient landmarks"
Gov. Penn enjoys a most envia-
bic place in the hearts of the people
of Louisiana and many will regret
to hear of his abandonment of the
Democratic party. 1t was he who
led the brave men of New Orleans
on the Fourteenth of. September.
His name will be forever revered
among the annals of the reconstrnc
ton era.
sTis pity that in the evening
of life, when his good deeds are
recounted by those who admire
civic virtues, he should have per-
mitted his fair fame to be sullied by
the faint of Republicanism-
