now THINGs HAVE CHANGED.
The New York Tribune OF Sunday has
two articles which interest US no little.
The one is on the decision in the Ken
lucky case, and the other on the race
problem in the South. There was a time
when the Tribune was rank Republic;
can sheet and nothing was too harsh for
1t to say about the South. But the two
articles to which We refer go to show how
the tone OF that paper has changed, which
mears that. there has been wonderful
change in, Northern sentiment. for the
Tribune is perhaps the most distinctively
representative Republican paper at the
North. sE.
In the article which treats Of the Ken
lucky decision the Tribune says that 50
far as it ds able to ascertain the general
opinion Of tho country. without regard
to party, comedies with the judgment OF
the Kentucky courts, that under the
lava valid; law. however odious-- the
Legislature had ftll authority to declare
Goebeu and Becld,am elected. and that its
decision was legally effected under conds-
tons for the peculiar cha racte l OF winch
the majority was not responsible. The
Tribune thinks that this decision should
stand and inferentdally concurs with The nc
Times in the opinion that the United
states Court has no jurisdiction.
The Tribune also concurs with The
Times. in the opinion that Mr. Ia y1or,
who was elected Governor; has committed
various plumbers and has not measured
,,p to the requirements Of the occasion.
It saws that IL he had firmly held his
ONCE, until he had been served with a
decree oustinE him under the forms ms OF OF
law. and then taken an appeal 70 th ne
people at the polls, 1t is altogether pIooa=
bic that they would have pronounced a
verdict against the legislative tools Of
Goebel, but that he was misled into acts is
Of us,,rpat1on whisah cost him the sym I'M

Goebels & conduct had alicnated.
