"GooD READING

The republican daiiies are fur
nishing such al abundance Of
sgood reading these days, that
an opposition editor can make a
hot editorial department for his
paper simply by a judlcious use
of his scissors. A proposition to
hold q republican senatorial caucus
to try to get together on the
Porto Rican tariff bill, provoked a
column editorial in tie Chicago
Inter- Ocean of March Z, headed:
NO Comprise Possible from
which we clip the following:
Suppose that q republican caucus be
held. Suppose tina, free trade in few
food products be granted. Suppose that
serious division III the republican party
Of the senate be prevented. What then!
Will the sltua ion of the republican
party at large be less acute: Will il be
frausht with less danger of disaster at
the polls? Will it become honorable
and honest and open and clean in the
eyes of the Amencan people? By no
means.
Then reminding his readers of
the promises and assurances made
by republican speakers and editors
the past two years, IS to the bless
ms which American rule was to
confer upon new American terrl-
tory, the editor continues:
"And now, in the turn of hand,
almost overnight, the people are asked
to forget it all. They are asked, on the
verge OF congressional and presidential
election to ignore these promises, to
treat them as if they had not been. They
are asked to repudiate the doctrines and
policies II which their convictions have
taken root; to disregard the pledges held
ont to them and by them in the name
Of president and congress, and to desert
-"basely desert''-the platform on which
they have fought and won ever since the
destruction of the Maine, and on which
they were prepared to fight and VIII in
the summer and fall of the present year
The proposition is absolutely impossible
When good faith is bargained away,
when principle is cast ont. and when
truth and honor are tramplei down in
the councils Of the republican majority
in congressional all in matter ln
volving the one great policy of the party
today-the mere gu stion of unanimity
or division in these shameful perform
ances is to trivial for second thought.
The only question which interests the
American people at the present time is
whether they or the lobby shall prevail
in Washington. II the lobby prevail
the punishment which will be melted
out to the recreant representatives will
not be altered or mtigated on account
OF any manner or any means by which
this base betrayal Of trusts shall be

JUSTICE IN KENTUCKY.

Without regard to the persons
now named in warrants sworn out
for their arrest on the charge of
being accessory before the fact to
the willful murder OF William
Goebel, the American public will
hope that such. evidence has been
secured as may enable the Ken
lucky authorities to solve the
mystery surrounding that crime
and to bring all the guilty parties
to justice. .
A vigilant prosecution of the
search for the hidden facts of the
assassination Of Goebel, prompt
action on the evidence in hand,
fearless conduct of the case in
the courts are dem anded of Ken
lucky. Whether those implicated
shall prove to be II high OF low
degree, they must be punished to
the full extent of the law. No
influence should avail to shield
them. Should they prove to be
of SO high standing in the state as
well-nigh to dismay the COM
munity, their sin is but the greater
for this very reason. And for
this reason, also, will it be the
more imperative for to make an
example of them.
The State Of Kentucky itself is
on trial in this black case. Its
duty in final settlement is one
that rises high above party. Re-
publicans and democrats alike
should join hands in it's perform

Goebel to death in the streets of

JEFFERSON DAY.

On the 18th of April next
occurs the anniversary of the
birth Of Thomas Jefferson, founder
of democracy and author Of the
Declaration of Independence,
which eminent republican, now
say we have outgrown. 1t should
be the duty and the pleasure of
democrats in every art of the
land to organize celebrations Of
this anniversary in order that the
immortal principles laid down by
Jefferson may be emphasized and
fixed in the minds Of the people.
There was never time when
the principles of the Declaration
of Independence needed reitera-
ton more than today. At home
and abroad the doctrine that
''men are created equal and that
all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the
governed is denied by conscience,
less, aggressive and mercenary
men. 1t is denied at home, where
the growth of monster monopolies
has effectually interfered with
those inelienahle rights of life,
liberty and the pursuits of happi-
ness, with the self government OF
the individual, and with human
equality. It is denied by our
administration by sending armies
of white soldiers to shoot down
the brown men in the Philippines
who are struggling for their own
political liberties, and at the same
time sending regiments Of black
soldiers to the Occur d'AIene to
make war upon miners striving
for a wider measure of industrial
liberty.
The democratic party has chosen
the date upon which Jefferson's
immortal masterpiece was adopted
as the cornerstone of our national
structure as the date of it's conven-
ton. Preparatory to this there
could be no better or more efec-
tive plan of extending the infu-
ence Of Jeffersonian doctrines
among the people than by the
organization in every CITY, town
and hamlet for Jefferson day
celebration, however humble or
however great on the one hundred
and ffty-seventh anniversary of
his birth, April 10.

THE STATE EQUALIZATION.

A good deal of credit has been
taken in certain quarters by the
organs of the state administration
over the alleged fearless action of
the state equalization board in
raising the assessment of the rail.
roads throughout the state. An ex,
animation of the report of the
board, however. does not indicate
that the members have dealt with
the railways with that infe1ible
independence aud patriotic disre-
gard of consequences that the pub
lie has been led to believe. It is
to be borne in mind that there has
been for a long time a complaint
throughout the state that the rail-
ways were not bearing an e9uit-
able share of the taxation, and two
years ago the legislature passed a
resolution requesting the equaliza-
ton board to increase their assess
ment to $500 per mile, the rate
then being $500 per mile. The
board subsequently increased the
assessment to $1,000 which has
now been increased to $500, or
20 per cent. This action, however,
is only to be properly estimated
by comparison with the manner
in which other interests have been
dealt with. For instance, in Cava-
lier county the board increased
the assessment Oh lands and lots
Fl per cent, on horseS, Is per cent
on cattle, So per cent; sheep, GA
per cent; swine, so per cent;
household goods, 90 per cent;
threshing machines, 10 per cent;
goods and merchandise, 80 per
cent; manufacturers materials 25
per cent, and the same increase in
manufacturers tools: personal
property, 20 per cent. 1t does
not appear, therefore, that those
who have been posing as "farm-
ers' friends" because they raised
railway TX ton 90 per cent, and
who at the same time increased
tn Cavalier county farmers bur
dens from 20 to so per cent, have
any valid claim to the credit which
is assumed ON their behalf.
