Every kentu@kitn who is not a blind
PARTISAN. and every friend of the common
wealth outside of its borders. and every
friend oI law and order and good govern
ment every where must deplore the attempt
made today upon the life of William Goe-
bel democratic candidate for governor of
Kentucky. 1t is certain to arouse the bit
terest rancor of the partissns. to add TO the
feud spirit which has already riven the
state in twain, and to make more difficult
than ever the peaceful solution of the pend
ing problems At the same time. the crime
is the inevitable result of the very policy
which GOebel and his lieutenants have been
trying 10 force upon the state, i'll defiance
Of the right and the principles of govern
ment. 1t Is the logical consequence of the
Observation-Disclosures with which the state dem
Ocratic leader has sought to attain his own
ends regardless Of the wishes OF the people.
There is. however, no justification what
ever for the crime, either in Mr.. Goebel's
former actions or his avowed intention to
wrest the governOrship from the republican
incumbent. IL is presumably the deed of
some enraged partisan, who has thought to
cut the Gor,lian knot of the pending con-
test in this dastardly manner. This is the

cover for a sharp resistance The most
feasible point of attack, as regards topog-
raphy, would seem to be south of kimber-
ley. where the boundary is open. the rivers
running from east to west with few inter-
ruptions. The'e is already a large force
there under Methuen, with direct railroad
connection to the coast.
Should this point be chosen for inEd-
sion, the Boer forces around Ladysmith. ii
is believed, would be drawn off in large
numbers. leaving enough on guard to pre-
vent successful sortie by Whites en-
feebled troops or even to assail and cap
trre the city. But it would take long
time to transpor: the bulk of Buffers army
around to Belmont south of Kimberley,
there being railroad connection across
country within reach of the British. These
troops would nave to be carried by rail to
Durham, shipped thence to Cape Town.
Port Elizabeth or East London and sent
up country by train a transaction requir-
ing at least fortnight. 1t would be ex-
tromely hazar lous to send even so large
fierce across country on the march. for the
land is rough and the column would doubt
less be harassed at every point by the
n Gre mobile Beers.
For these reasons should the surmised
change in program occur it is easy to see
that confirmatory stroke can hardly be
delivered by Lord Roberts for some time,
and meanwhile. with parliament in session
and reports continuing to arrive with the
depressing details of the Ladysmith fight

a Possible Change of pI.,

conviction is apparently settling down
on England that Gen. Buffers second re-
pulse. that disastrous defeat from which
the grim details are now being received in
driblets, enforces change in the plan Of
campaign. involving the abandonment OF
I4.dysmith and the organization of a purely
aggressive warfare, as originally proposed
This is unpalatable to Engiisnmen, whose
first impulse after the isolation of the three
cities became certain was to demand the
in mediate relief of the beleaguered citizens
and soldiers. Indeed, since the initial mis-
takes Of maaeuvering which permitted the
coping UP of Inadequate garrisons in i'm
portant strategic points. the biunders OF
the campaign have seemed to develop from
this policy of relief, which maintained the
scene Of fighting on British soil and gave
the Beers the advantage of holding their
forces well together.
1t is rumOre1 that Lord Roberts will now
abandon all further thought of succoring
Ladysmith. and will concentrate his armies
for the single purpose of forcing his way
into the enemy's territory, leaving the three
garrisons to their fate. 1t is believed that
the Boer forces have been weakened by the
repeated assaults upon them, and that the
Amy of defense they will be able to muster
in the interior will not be as large by many
thousands as the consolidated British army
under the leadership of either Roberts OF
kitchner. The question TO be answered by
events is whether there is point on the
Beer frontier which affords opportunity for
even superior force to effect an entrance.
The Natal frontier does not present such
possible inlet, for it is mountainous and
rick in those opportunities for defensive
fighting, of which the Beers have made
such effective use during the operations
around Ladysmith. Down in northern Cane
Colony. where Gems Gatacre and French
are in command, the frontier is more open

Beers shows that the latter can find ampls

Government for the New Possessions

Is quoted as follows by the New York Tri-
bune:
Il do not think the new platform of the
democratic party will carry an anti-impe-
realistic plank, but rather that it will con-
tain declaration defining the line between
cA pansion and extension, and possibly the

tension can be defined it ought certain
IL to be done. That in itself would lend
Interest to any platform. If We have ex-

II We nave extended our borders without
expanding the country ought to know it.
But what MIR. Maginnis suggests on the

an issue there, Tor as matter of fact that

The real question is as to the best means
for establishing stable governments under
the stars and stripes which shall prove at

Islands and for ourselves.
There is abundant room for legitimate
discussion about that, and 1t is virgin soil

1t is a striking commentary upon the
methods of those senators who are trying
to embarrass the administration that while
they have been demanding intervention in
behalf of the Beers under the terms of The
Hagu. treaty. that instrument has been
hung up in the Senate as result of the
neddling of one of their own number. But
even with The Hague treaty in force. 1t re-
mains a serious question whether it would
be wise OF safe to press for American inter
ventiGn 10 -he point of a declaration by
Congress apart from a recognition OF the
distinct reservations as to its scope pro-
nounced at The Hague by the American
delegates. Probably not one of the sem
ato-S active in this propaganda would will
ingly stand for the Reputation of the Mon
roe doctrine. The very reasons which APP
parently actuate their interest in the Beers
would preclude them from helping to break
down that barrier between absolute Amer
lean indepcndence and European interview

Yet the Monroe doctrine unqueStionably
stands in the way of American intervention

Consular and Senatorial Intemperance

Three facts are pretty sure to be clear
in the minds of the people to yesterdays
furry in the Senate when Mr.. Mason en-
tered protest against the offensive re-
marks of the British consul at New Or
leans; first, that the protest was justfiable:
second, that it was couched in unnecessarily
violent language: third, that Senator Hoar
struck the right note when he called for d
more temperate discussion of grave topic
The consul has offended just grossly, in
the measure of his position, as did the
Spanish minister, Senator Lodge clearly
indicated. But that is no reason why the
incident should be utilized an occasion
for a stump speech in the Senate The
dignified method will probably be pursued
henceforth, although the start was bad. and
the end may be that the government at
London will find itself with consular va
cancy to fill. The affair is fortunate in
that ii shows that Senator Hoar, however
unpopular may be his attitude to the
Philippine question. is still staunch in his
determination to uphold the national dig
nifty in dealing with foreign nations.
