majority of his own party and the
wishes of large majority of the
state as expressed by the ballot. An
earnest, fearless man of brilliant at
tainments, but void of all honor
and principle, in politics at least,
by chicanery and trickery he forced
himself on to his own party and by
the use of his own unfair and arbi-
trary laws expected to wrest the
governorship from the man duly
elected and qualified as governor.
His taking off by the hands of an
assassin is greatly to be deplored
but it is only the natural results OF
spirit of lawlessness that has been
cultivated and upheld in the state of
Kentucky. By his own unlawful
and murderous hand he invited the
bullet of the assassin.
He died by the same unwritten
law of Kentucky to which he had
given sanction by his own act. His
dying advice to his followers to
commit no rash act but abide by
the laws of the state was simply a
travesty on his own life.
While the better element of all
parties sincerely deplore the state of
affairs that exists in Kentucky, and
exceedingly that a great state
should be plunged into civil war
and bloodshed by the unfair machi-
nations in his own party and his hell
ish plot to steal the governorship
from the opposing party, personally
there will be but little sympathy
wasted on Goebel. The only sur
prise is that there should be SO
many men in Kentucky so blinded
by party prejudice that man of
Goebel's principles could gain any
following whatever.
No matter what may be the out
come of this controversy the state
Of Kentucky has been disgraced.
And the mere fact that such a high
handed piece of villainy as stealing
4 governship should be attempted
IN her borders will forever blacken
ler name.
There are many things in the
character of Goebel to admire. His
intiring energy and perseverance in
Ill things he undertook, his indom-
table courage under all circum-
stances and wonderful fortitude and
will power after receiving his death |
wound are characteristics that are
admired by all. Had he only pos

sessed the moral ballast and love
for the right that must be character
istic of all great men, he would
have become favored leader in
stead of filling the grave of a dis
honored, disreputable and disap-
pointed political bandit.

BREIDENTHAL would very much
like to run for governor but he
seems to fear the knife of the politi-
cal assassin. Breidenthal is rather
too good man for the Leedy and
LleweIling factions. He is not
quite orthodox enough on the theo-
ries of Doodle and political corrup-
tion for these worthy representatives
of pure unalloyed Populist theories.

the said convention be construed to imply
a REIMBURSEMENT by the United States OF
America OF its traditional attitude toward
purely American questions.
"The President sympathizes heartily in
the sincere desire Of all the people Of the
United States, that the war which IS now
affecting South Africa may, for the sake
of both parties engaged, come TO q speedy
close; but, having done his full duty in
preserving a strictly neutral position be-

tunity that presented Itself for rendering

no course is open to him except to persist

deviate from this would be contrary 10 all

neither the President or the people Of the
United States should regard with favor"
Lord Pauncefote called at the State De-
partment while the Beers were consulting
with Secretary Hay. He was shown into
the diplomatic reception room and there
displaced General O'Beierne, who also had
been waiting to see Secretary Hay. The
ambassador was not kept long, for in the
course of five minutes the Beers left and
he was admitted to see the secretary.
The Boer representatives will be received
by the President at the White House at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. Their visit to
the executive mansion was arranged for
them by Secretary Hay during their call
at the State Department this afternoon.
The call, it is understood, will be entirely
unofficial in character, as the envoys have
not yet presented to the officials here the
credentials with which they are accredited.

TO SUPPRESS THE PLAGUE.
Federal Authorities VIII Take Charge
at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May 21.-The
federal authorities at Washington have
instructed DR.. Kinyoun, quarantine officer
at this port. to take charge of measures to
suppress the bubonic plague which the
local Board of Health has declared exists
here.
What action DR.. Kinyoun will take has
not yet been announced. The action of
the Washington officials is thought to be
due not to the seriousness of the situation.
but to the inability of the San Francisco
authorities to compe, the Chinese and
Japanese to take precautionary measures
against the spread of the plague If IL still
exists here. The embargo on the departure
of Chinese from the city unless they can
show certificates of incubation, is still in
force. Business in Chinatown is almost
at a standstil
The merchants have closed their stores
and the Chinese remain within doors. The
Chinese insist that the plague does not
exist among them, and there is no necessity
for incubation. They will not submit to

shall be returned and surrendered 10 the
authorities of Cuba on the order of the

The bill then provides that such return
and surrender shall be made only In the
case Of persons charged with the commits
sion of certain enumerated crimes, all the
more serious offenses against life, person,

is especially provided that no such sur
render shall be made of persons charged

The proximity of peace, according to the
government point Of view, will remain a
matter of military progress. How soon the
latter may bring about the former is still
too supposititious for a>serious forecast on
the part of any government official. The
consensus of opinion. as CLEANED by the

haust every effort In the United States
before President Kruger sues directly,
though Lord Salisbury himself does not
believe that the delegates will accomplish
much in America.

Postmaster General Bristow to-day took
the direction of the postal affairs of
the island. relieving Estes @. Rathbone, d.
rector Of posts. who was suspended on Sat
urday. although formal announcement of
the suspension was not made until to-day.
1t had been generally conceded that sus-
pension must come, as the charges against
Mr.. Rathbone of criminal negligence have
been multiplying daily. 1t is asserted that
he has not shown any indications of a de-
sire to have official records kept, and that
he has improperly indorsed expense ac-
counts, his own and Neely's, to a surpris-
ing degree.
During the investigations now in progress
Mr.. Rathboue will not be allowed to leave
the island. 1t is reported that w. H.
Reeves. in his confession. made charges
that reflect seriously upon Mr.. Rathbone' s
honesty. Mr.. Bristow and the inspectors
have found nothing but chaos throughout
the entire department. Often no records
were kept for days at time. and to get a
thorough insight calls for the services of

time must elapse before the facts of the
case will be known. Indeed. 1t is doubtful
