THE WORK OF THE KENTUCKY
LEGISLATIVE.

| 1t is evident from what the Kentucky
newspapers are saying, that there is some
fear that the Legislature of that state,
now in session for the sole purpose of pro-
vding an election law that viii meet the
approval of the people will fail to ac-
complish satisfactorily the task which it
has undertaken. 1t is stated that it will
be impossible to get a majority TO vote
for the repeal of the Goebel law-the law
which has been the cause of so much
trouble-and that opposition to any radical
| amendment of that law is strong.
No doubt a great many bills amending
the Goebel law will be introduced, and
it may be that there will be bills provid-
ing for it's repeal, the repeating bills com
ing from the Republicans, who will en-
deavor, no doubt, to make all the politi-
cal capital they can out of the fact that
the Democrats have decided to change
the law.
The Democrats, in order to accomplish
the object they have in view. namely,
to provide an election law that will be
acceptable to all fair-minded voters,
should not be satisfied with any half way
measure. measure of that sort would
not bring back into the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party those Democrats who left
it because they were against Goebel and
the Goebel election law. If an absolute
" fair law Is made the auti-Goebel Dem
ocrats, or rather the Brown Democrats,
will vote the Democratic ticket this fall.
With their votes there is no doubt that
the Democrats would elect not only the
state ticket, but also their presidential
electors.
It is evident that the Legislature has
very important duty to perform-a duty
that requires the exercise of a great deal
of good judgment 1t can so amend the
election law as to take from the Repubi-
cans the political capital on which they are
depending for success. If il let's party
feeling control it, however, the probabli-
ties are that its action will fall short of
the requirements of the situation, and
the work of the extra session will amount
practically to nothing far as making
it easier for the Democrats to carry the
state. 1t is within the bounds OF Droba-
bility that the Legislatures action will
nave on important bearing on the presi-
Dental election.

HOT AND DRY MONTH.

August seems determined to maintain
70 the end the record IL has made as a
hot and dry month There has been a
greet excess OF heat over the normal, and
there has not been rain enough to cause
the average observer to remember that
there has been any rain at all. And
the heat and drought have been very
destructive to the crops in this and some
of the other states. 1t is q safe state
n,ent that the drought and heat of Au-
gust have damaged the farmers of Geor-
gia to the extent of millions of dollars.
The month has been a notable one in
other sections. The Chicago papers speak
Of the weather as tropical in that city. 1t
has been intensely hot there, ana the
rains have been frequent and heavy. Some
of the citizens who were soldiers in the
Spanish-American war say that the
weather this month in Chicago has been
very much like that of Cuba. only the
Cuban weather is less oppressive. Au-
gust, from any point which 1t may DE
viewed. has been an uncomfortable month
over a wide section of country.

VIZ. nRYAN,s PROGRAMME.

Immediately after Mr.. Bryan was nom
/ mated it was given out that he would
rot repeat his remarkable experimenting
performance of 1896 but would remain At
his home in Lincoln, where he would re-
ceive visiting delegations and make a few
speeches from his front porch. II that
was his intention he has changed his
mind. if recent dispatches from Lincoln
are reliable. 1t is now said that it is
his purpose to take the stump about Sept.
Is, and make speeches from that time I'M
til election day.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Bryan is the
most successful campaign speaker in the
country. The speeches he made in the
campaign of 1896 had tremendous indu-
ence. He drew great crowds wherever he
went, and what he said was always fresh,
bright entertaining and instructive. II
he takes the stump during this campaign.
he viii be worth more than any score of
the other speakers. What he will say viii
be to the point and viii have weight, and.
besides, his speeches will be published
in all of the leading newspapers. In that
way he will be able to talk 10 the entire
country pretty nearly every day.
In the campaign of 1896, the Associated
Press sent out extracts of about all of
Mr.. Bryan's speeches. That was a com
pliment that was paid to no other one of
abe stump speakers Of either party. In
fact, most of the other speakers simply
repeated one speech. Therefore there was
10 occasion for giving a synopsis of what
they said
And it was to the credit of Mr.. Bryan
Z in no one of the many speeches ne
made did he say anything that opened the
way for his political opponents to attack
him or his party. His record in that re-
speot was 50 remarkable that it was the
subject OF very general comment.
In 1886, he talked mainly on the money
question. In this campaign he will dis
cuss imperialsm-at least he will give
more attention to that issue than to any
other-and it is safe 40 predict that he
will handle his subject with such iudg-
ment and ability that the campaign man
ayers of his party will have no more
cause to criticise his utterances than had
the managers of the Democratic campaign
four years ago.

GROWTH OF SAVANNAH'S COM
MERGE,

"A growing commerce is the chief factor
IN the material progress of most pros
porous cities. Railroads are the chief
means for promoting commerce. or
course the railroad must have d terri
tory from which to draw ITS business
but when constructed it is an important
factor in the development of the CITY
where it has its terminal. Railroads no
longer have to go begging for terminal
sites. Cities are glad to assist railroads
in getting them.
In no city have these facts been more
prominently illustrated within recent
years than in Savannah. This city has
been peculiarly favored in the growth of
her important transportation facilities.
Years ago when the old Central railroad
built its wharves which have since been
developed into the largest terminal on
the South Atlantic, and added to its
equipment the Ocean Steamship lines,
the commerce of Savannah received an
impetus which has carried her far be-
yond her business rivals There followed
soon the extension of the Plant system
lines to the river front and the develop
ment of magnificent wharf frontage
which has since added some millions to
Savannah's business volume. Now there
comes the Seaboard Air Line with a new
gigantic terminal property almost COM
pleted, and upon a site heretofore unde-
veloped and unimproved Savannah will
soon have to add to her five miles OF
wharvcs on the Southern side of the river
couple of miles more on the Northern
side. The Southern Railway has come as
another feeder and will dump her share
of traffic upon the three great terminals
named
With such facilities it may well be saia
that Savannah has no rival in the COM
mercial field on the Atlantic seaboard
south of Baltimore Natural advantages
alone considered, there are none that can
compete with her. And this large com
merce will continue to grow and increase
just in proportion as does the country
from which it is drawn. The lesson of
the asst teaches that there is important
work ahead for the future There is an
obi cation upon every citizen to aid in
the work of advancement. To keep pace
with tbs growth of commerce Savannah $
| harbor must have added depth and that
| too, very soon. The efforts of the people
| should be directed toward securing a har-
| Dor that will accommodate vessels of
twenty-eight and thirty feet draught 1t
is the duty and pleasure of every good
citizen to work not alone to that end
but for the advancement of the city along
other lines of growth and progress. The
commercial year of Southern seaport
cities which will begin on Sept l. will
doubtless surpass in Importance its pre-
| decessors. The commercial growth of Sa-
vannah is of Importance not alone to the
pride, but also to the material welfare of
all of its citizens. 1t is to their personal
interest, therefore, TO do all they can for
the advancement of the citys general
prosperity

THE DEMOCRATIC TEXT nook.

1t is expected that the Democratic cam
paign textbook will be ready for distri-
button on Saturday next The accounts
OF it which are appearing In the dis
patches justify the conclusion that it con-
tains suggestions and pointers enough for
a hundred speeches. Mt. McKinley's ad-
ministration is thoroughly dissectcd and
the evidences of his lack Of backbone are
presented. Not one of the shortcomings
of his White House career is overlooked.
Considerable space is given to the in
efficiency of the management of the Span
ish-American war and particularly to
the canned beef charges ana the lack Of
If the volunteers condition of affairs
which cost many more lives than were
lost in fighting the Spaniards.
one of the things discussed that will
attract good deal Of attention is the
report that it is on the programme of the
Republican party to divide the Philip
pines into five territories for admission
into the Union as states The Southern
states presented to Republican adven-
turers such fat pckinss that it is not at
all improbable that the Republican party
sees a fine opportunity in the Philippines
for providing offices for its members.
Five Philippine territories would afford
splendid opportunities for such Republ-
cans as were carpet-baggers in recon
struction times to get rich at the expense
of the natives.
There is no doubt that the Republican
leaders have some scheme on foot relative
to the Philippines which they have not
dared to make public in the present con
dition of public sentiment in respect to
the islands 1t is certain that the people
Of the United States are a long way now
from being willing to admit the Filipinos
to citizenship. The negro problem is trou-
blesome enough without having added to
it a Filipino problem.
The Democratic campaign textbook
promises to be much more effective doc
ument of its kind than the Republican
campaign textbook. From the accounts
of it the opinion is formed Ahat II is com
piled with much more care and far great
er ability. 1t contains a good many things
the people should think about during the
trOgreSS of the campaign.

The Springfield Republican that usually
very careful and accurate journal, in the
course of some remarks upon negroes
leaving the Southern states which, as a
matter of fact, they are not doing, makes
the remarkable discovery that the lynch
ings which have occurred in Georgia are
responsible for the fact that the cotton
planters find they cannot get sufficient ne
gro labor TO pick their cotton. The Spring
field Republican has clearly jumped at a
conclusion without knowing anything
about the facts. 1t seems 10 be unaware
Of the fact that the shortage of cotton
pickers affects only the southern section
of the state. and that It is due entirely TO
the demand for labor on the part OF the
