were a large number on the ground
were convinced that the man who shot
Mr.. Goebel was deceived by the loose
ness of that gentleman's overeoat. No
severer criticism of his craftsmanship
was offered, probably owing to the fact
that the bullet passed entirely through
the victims body. Still there was
clearly a feeling existing that the rep
utation of Kentucky in the matter of
good shooting had suffered.

The senate committee on elections
which was investigating the title of
Scott of West Virginia to his seat has
stopped hearing testimony and de-
clared that it has no right to interfere
with the action of the legislature. The
evidence, so far as heard, all went to
show that Mr.. Scott was elected by
fraudulent, arbitrary and unwarranted
methods. Clearly the committee was
not hunting for that kind of evidence
and so called off the whole matter. If
the committee can not concern itself
with the manner of Scott's election why
should a similar committee spend so
much time in an investigation of the
methods employed in the choice Of Mr..
Clark of Montana? Are the acts of the
Montana legislature less immune from
scrutiny than those of the West Vir-
ginia law making body? The only Wis
ible difference in the two cases is that
what was accomplished by force and
fraud in West Virginia was brought
about by the corrupt use Of money in
Montana On second thought, there is
one more difference. Clark is a Demo-
crat while Scott is a Republican.
