A NEW GOLDEN RULE.

1.-THE Kentucky Democrats have half
sense, now that they have the opportu-
nifty, they will take the governorship
whether theirs or not. That's the way
the Republicans do, and that's why they
have al the officers, and are praised as a
great party Latest indications seem to
point to their having the required sense
Stanton Spectator.
This advice from Virginia Democratic
paper is useless, as the Goebelites have al
lady been trained in Virginia Democrat
ic ethics. When Kentucky Democrats
adopted as their textbook the Virginia
election law the whole world knew it was
their purpose to take that which was not
theirs, just as Virginia Democracy has
been doing for years.
This is dangerous morality, or rather
immortality, the Stanton Spectator is
teaching; but it shows to what extremes
dishonest machine politics will lead. The
logic Of the Spectator, boiled down, is for
a man to steal from others when he finds
Others are stealing from him.

WAS 1T AN ACCIDENT

The Lynchbuig News of the 2nd inst.
published in an obscure part of the paper
the following news item;
"The people of Kansas have $50 900, OOC
laid up in their banks, practically all OF 1t
deposited since the Republican admlnistra
ton came into power"
We know the News is unusually fair for
a Southern Democratic paper in its treat
ment Of all public questions; but we would
be astonished if its editorial or news man
agement would permit an item like the
above to creep into its columns intention
ally. Though the item is composed of but
four lines it is one of the most potential
arguments that can be offered against the
free silver craze of which Kansas in 1896
was almost the center. Then Kansas was
suffering from a dearth Of money, Its
farmers we're groaning under mortgages
that they had despaired Of ever paying o.,
and the calamity bowler found fertile
field for sowing and cultivating his seed OF
discomfort.
Behold what wonderful transformation
has been wrought under three years of Re-
publican Administration! The farms have
been relieved of their burdensome debt,
the banks are loaded with $50,000,000 OF
dollars, and the calamity bowler is laughed
at when he tries to get hearing.
Is the News about to get away from its
folly? Or did it publish the financial con-
dition of Kansas by mistake?

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY s, 1900.
THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

When the announcement went over the
wires that William Goebel had been shot
down by an assassin in front of the State
House at Frankfort, Kentucky, the public
was shocked but not surprised. The
wretched condition of affairs in that State,
for which he vas chiefly responsible, had
led the public to believe that some terrible
tragedy was bound to ensue. While all
conservative and just persons were ready
to condemn the cowardly act of the assas-
sin, very few were prepared to weep over
the unhappy event, because they knew
that Goebel and Goebelism were RESPONSE
BILE for the act. In defiance of the will OF
majority of the people of his State, and
we may also say that in defiance Of hon
esty, GOebel was trying to seize the Gov
ernorship of Kentucky. Everywhere out
side that State his conduct was dsapproved
by men of his own party, and the press,
irrespective of party conviction, did not
hesitate to condemn the reckless ambition
of Goebel and the methods he was EN-
pioying to appropriate an office and an
honor to which he was not entitled. There
was never as reckless and desperate role
played in the politics Of this country as
that which Goebel and his supporters
have followed since his defeat at the polls
last November. Defeated at the ballot
box, with the verdict Of the people sus-
tanned by the courts and the Election
Commissioners, the Legislature was APP
pealed to and was used as a means for
overriding the will of the people and the
DEGREES of courts and Election Commits
sioners. Every act of Goebel was that Of a
desperate and dishonest man; and the
verdict of the world will be that Kentucky
is fortunate in beng rid of bin. Now that
he is dead, the act of the assassin will he
despised but no sorrow will be expressed
over the death of Goebel. He was a VIC
lent, lawlees man, and his death was in
keeping with his character.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1900-02-08

The Virginia Legislature as soon as In
formed that Mr.. Goebel had been shot
passed resolution of sympathy. This
vas very proper. If anybody ought to
sympathize with Goebel it should be the
representatives of the Virginia Democracy,
the legislators who are the heirs and sue
cors of the Legislature that passed the in
famous election law which Goebel copied
for Kentucky, and which has produced the
misfortune that befell him.
