The Kentucky Situation.

The decision of the Kentucky court of ap-
peals In favor of the democratic contestant
for governor had been discounted by popu-
lar expectation. Four of the seven judges
being democrats, and the lower courts, also
under democratic control, having decided
when appealed to in favor of their party
it was generally assumed that this highest
court would follow the same course 1t
has done so. and the appeal now is to the
Supreme Court of the United States. This,
it is reported, will be taken.
The surprise comes in the fact that two
of the three republican judges of the court
also hold in favor of Beckham. But in
giving their decision they express the opin-
ion that Taylor and Marshall were elected
governor and lieutenant governor, respec-
lively. In Interpreting the law, therefore,
in favor of the democrats they at the same
time point out that 1t nullifies when in
voked in a case like this the voice of the
people as expressed at the polls. Given a
majority of the Legislature obedient to his
will. and an ambitious man who has been
defeated at the polls may have himself de-
clared the governor of the commonwealth.
The renewal of the charge that Governor
Taylor has been directly implicated in the
assassination of Mr.. Goebel should be re-
ceived with the reservations that attach
to every feature of that side of the case.
Governor Taylor has been the subject for
several weeks of a number of inventions,
the maliciousness of which was easily ex-
posed He has been represented prepar-
ing to flee the state, and showing other
evidences of guilt and panic. When he
left Frankfort to attend his sisters funeral
it was predicted by his enemies that he
would never return to the capital. His
footsteps were dogged even on so sad a
journey. But he is back in his office again.
and his signed statement, which appears
in print today. appeals to the manhood of
his state and of the country.
The grand jury is in session, and the
whole case is being investigated, let us
hope. thoroughly and impartially. Then
will come the trials in open court. with the
accused confronted by their accusers, and
all witnesses subjected to cross-examina-
ton. Meanwhile it must not, in the inter-
ests of fair play. be forgotten that money
has been offered for confessions that
would hang Governor Taylor and down
the republican party of the state" and that
a hundred thousand dollars is at the dis
posal of partisan committee, and that the
principal manipulation of matters Is not
Kentuckian. but an imported Ohio lawyer

air by stout wire, the automobile could
not do more than to follow along a pro-
cessional line without tangling into the con-
ductors of other vehicles. This professional
path would interfere with the employment
OF more than the speed of the vehicle
ahead. This point might result to the benz
ht OF the public by checking the rates at
which these carriages are run. But the
least ambition on the part of driver" or
inattention to the course. or necessity for
a divergence from the set path. would be
likely to lead to disaster. This is all apart
from the menace of suspended wires, highly
charged with electricity, made even more
dangerous than the wires of the trolley car
by reason of the vagaries of the vehicle
and the weight Of the motor tending to
drag them from their supports. Every con-
sideration of SAFETY suggests that this de-
vice be left to the faddists and expert
menters and rigidly excluded from all city
streets or the roads Of populous suburbs
while the automobiles, already uncertain
enough In themselves, are permitted to pur-
sue their course by means of occasional re-
refreshments of force. The thought of its
adoption cannot be tolerated for moment
by any community that seeks to preserve
the lives of its inhabitants.

Will support Mr.. Bryan on any platform
the democracy may write In a recent
article on the subject Of the campaign of
1895. Mr.. Watterson stated that the inde
pendent attitude of his newspaper that
year cost 1t a quarter of million dollars.
Now that is pretty stiff tariff. Too stiff
for a second indulgence, and Mr.. Wat
terson has gone back into the party ranks.
He is against free silver, against every
thing in the Chicago platform, and in favor
OF expansion. One wonders at his ability
to support Mr.. Bryan on the platform GER
tain to be written at Kansas City. But he
says he can do it. And he is a very YER

The Serious Philippine Problem.

The editorial letter from Manila printed
today gives thoughtful and dispassi0nate
consideration to the most difficult of the
Philippine problems, that of the policy to
BE- pursued by our government in the mat
ter of the friars. Mr. Noyes says he has
been disappointed in his expectation that
he would find the Ffipinos, outside Of the
hostile faction in arms. full of confidence
In the Americans and heartily welcoming
their control. Their attitude is apparently
one OF anxious expectancy. tinged with
more or less OF hODefulness. according to
the individual disposition. He believes that
this doubt concerning the benefit of Ameri-
can control is based more upon uncer-
tainty concerning our policy In respect to
the friars than IN respect to any other
issue whatsoever, even that of full self
government.
Mr.. Noyes comes to the conclusion that
there will be no genuine peace, happiness
and prosperity in the Philippines, if we at
tempt. and as long as We continue. to en-
act Spain's role the ally and hacker of
the friars.

may be called a gold democrat simply for
the reason that he lives in New York He
would be glad TO obey the local sentiment
on the subject, but as the head of a poIiti-
cal organization which puts party regularity

bow TO the partys national dcliverance,

free silver In 1856 and IL stands ready at

The notice General Wheeler has taken of
the movement to bring him forward as a
vice-presdential candidate is an admirable
deliverance deserving at this time of es
pecial consideration. 1t reflects the highest
credit on both his patriotism and his in
teiligence. 1t shows that a level and a
very clear head rests upon his shoulders
II makes good in itself his right to his
place-earned by years of excellent public
service-as one of the attractive and highly
respected figures of our national life. 1t
will increase confidence in both his judg-
ment and the genuineness of his public
spirit.
In addition to being a trained soldier
General Wheeler is a trained politician. He
can tell a personal compliment when he
sees one. He can separate the partiality of
his friends from the more general appraise-
ment of the country. He knows-as an
other distinguished Aiabamian on a famous
occasion did nOt-just where he Is at In a
word. with full knowledge of political con-
ditions. political possibilities and probabll-
ties and particularly of how the friends of
public man, from one motive or another
press him unduly and unwisely at times
for one office or another, he is able to re-
ceive this vice-presidential suggestion with
prompted 1t without being misled as to its
actual practical value.
That General Wheeler would fill the office
of Vice President most worthily Is beyond
all question. He is entirely familiar with
all legislative forms. all legislative business,
and enjoys the respect of the public men of
both parties. But the circumstances are
such that he does not this year fit the re-
qulrements OF either party. He Is a demo-
crat but not in touch with his party on
the subject Of expansion. His very useful
ness to the country in the matter of the
war with Spain. and in his firm acceptance
since Of the results of the war, make him
unavailable as running mate for Mr.
Bryan. who is in favor of tinkering with
the who'e business. And while standing
with Mr.. Mckinley on the subject of ex-
pansion, General Wheeler subscribes to no
other policy to which the republicans are
committed. So the sign Of No Thorough
fare appears in either direction.
But General Wheeler's services to the
country are still a part. and will remain
50, of the country's pride. Few Vice Pres
idents have made themselves so useful
and none will longer be remembered. His
fame Is secure, and no political office could

A Ne. Form of Trolley.

Although the day OF the overhead trolley
car is on the wane in this country. through
the force of the example set by Washing
ton and New York in excluding that obnox-
ious device from their precincts. a new
form of exposed electrical conductor has
recently appeared as a claimant for the
same sort of Endorsement that was orig
inally given to the trolley. 1t Is branded
as intolerably Objectionable on its face. It
has all the bad features Of that wretched
makeshlft and others in addition. 1t is the
scheme to provide continuous electrical
current to automobiles In city streets and
country roads by strlnging wires in the
air and permitting these vehicles to tap
them as they run. Experiments were tried
some time ago In Greenwich, Conn in this
line. but with so little success that the en-
terprise was abandoned. Now it is reported
that thu tests have been resumed in Paris
with every present indication of success
and practical application. The original OBJ
jections have been overcome by the en-
ployment of a tiny motor attached to the
trolley wheel itself, thus keeping the wire
always in front of the moving vehicle and
preventing the drag which tended to upset
the device and to check the current 1t is

assurance that the Nicaragua canal, when
built. shall need no defense by US in times
Of war, for 1t is to be universally regarded

But a shadow rested on the light OF that
