THE GOEBEL ELECTION LAW.

Quite a number of our subscribers have
asked us about the Goebel election law,
which has almost ruined Kentucky, and
made her odious in the eyes of the world.
We give the following excellent descrip-
ton OF that law, clipped from the Toledo
Blade:
The Goebel election law was passed in
1898, when the Democrats were largely in
the majority in the Kentucky legislature,
1t provided for the immediate election by
that body of a State Board of Election
Commissioners, to consist of three menu
bers, holding office for four years. The
old returning board law of Louisiana,
which the Democrats attacked so bitterly,
provided for the representation of all par
ties. The Geobel law does not. Conse-
quently all three commissioners elected in
1898 were Democrats. To make sure
that the politics OF the board could not be
changed by death or resignation, the fill
ing of vacancies was intrusted to the leg

INDIAN AND FILIPINO.

The Society of the Colonial Wars in
New York held its annual dinner recent
ly. Mr.. William E. Dodge. responding
to the toast, The Pilgrims and the Pu-
ritan Fathers" paid tribute to Senator
Hoar as one of their descendants, but
dissented from the anti-expansion views
of the latter for this reason:
The early Pilgrims did not ask leave OF
the Indians when they settled in New
England. They settled there, determined
to make home, and that was the first
idea of expansion. So when Senator Hoar
talks so strongly on our rights in the Pa
cihc, | should like to have him talk about
how his forefathers settled in New Eng
land; and TO have his views about that"
Hoars views on that matter would be
interesting, but he is not likely to discuss
the topic. His forefathers dealt far worse
with the Indians of Massachusetts Bay
than the United States is dealing with
the Filpinos. We are not taking their
lands, nor selling them into slavery. nor
refusing TO recognize their rights in any
way. We propose to give them better
government than they ever had, and as
much share in it as they are fitted to
manage.-Ex.

NO TORE WILD PIGEONS.

When we were boy, we often saw
large flocks of wild pigeons in this coun-
ty, especially among the gum trees,
around the mountains. 1t was an easy
thing to shoot from ten to thirty day.
Now, and for some fifteen years past,
we have missed them from our woods, and
no longer see them forming blue streak
in the heavens. The thought has often
occurred: "Why do not these birds re-
ture here, as in former days ?" A writer
in one of our exchanges says they have
fallen victims to the shot-guns of pot
hunters. The writer said he saw one OF
their roosts in Southern Ohio years ago.
1T was swampy forest, some 800 acres
in extent, and there were literally millions
of the birds. Hunters would come at
night with two-horsc wagons, knock the
birds off the trees with clubs, and load the
wagons with them" Now the wild pig
con is about exterminated. No doubt
some of our older citizens could write
many interesting articles about the fine
sport they enjoyed hunting wild pigeons,
in this county. They were numerous
here once. Like many other sports and
fancies of the old days-they are now

velle, her leading actor, and Marcus
Mayer, her manager. A warrant was
issued for the arrest of Theodore

Imprisonment in the penitentiary for
one year or a fine of $500, or both.

stature, if in session; if not, to the re-
manning members Of the board.
The law empowers the state board to
appoint three election commissioners for
each county, and to remove them when
it sees fit. There are TIo counties in
Kentucky. At the last election fifty-eight
of them were carried by the Republicans.
The law does not recognize the right Of
the Republicans to representation on these
county boards of election. They got no
representation. These boards appoint
two judges, one clerk, and one sheriff Of
election for each precinct. The law di-
reefs that when there are TWO political
parties. each of them shall have one Judge
and either the sheriff or clerk of election.
Experience here and elsewhere has proved
what kind of Republican election officers
are likely to be selected by Democrats.
They are almost invariably men who are
unable to see when fraudulent votes are
being cast for Democratic candidates. or
too timid TO make effective protest.
Senator Goebel and his followers had
every reason to believe that, with the
election machinery entirely in their hands,
it would be impossible for Republican
candidates for state offices to get ma
jority on the face of the returns. But to
meet such a contingency the state board
of election commissioners, which was
sure to be Democratic, was made board
to determine the contested election of any
such officers other than governor and
lieutenant governor. 1t was provided
that contests over those two offices should
be determined by the General Assembly.
which it was reasonably certain would be
Democratic. Thanks to their control of
the election machinery, the Democrats
have majority in the present General
Assembly.
When contrary to his expectation, Goe-
bel failed to get majority of the votes
cast and returned, he and the candidate
for lieutenant governor on his ticket, APP
pealed to their Democratic friends in the
legislature to help them out. The Gener-
al Assembly proceeded under the Goebel
law to select by lot two boards of con-
test, each composed of three senators and
eight representatives. Chance or fraud
favored the contestants. Only two anti
Goebel men were drawn on one board
and only three men on the other. These
Democratic boards reported in favor of
the contestants. The Democratic legis-
lature approved their findings. The men,
whom a majority of the voters had put
into office, were ordered deposed to make
room for the candidates of the minority.
This is a summary of the Goebel law
and what has been done under it. So
long as this measure remains on the
statute books the Kentucky Republicans
gain nothing by being in the majority.
If they are not defrauded of their rights
at the polls they are defrauded of them
by the legislature. 1t is of vital impor-
tance to them to get rid Of that inequita-
bic, lawless law.
