wnsherwomen's Medals,

There is no country more fond of
medals and decorations than France.
and there seems no end to the bestowal
of honors- The latest class of people
to be made happy are washerwomen,
for whom there are now diplomas. On
the Seine w-asherwomen play an i'm
portant part in the life of the com
munity, and in revolutionary periods
they have proved almost as formidable
as the market women of Paris. For
them, therefore. the government has
thought fit to establish this new order
and to award II medals. The duty OF
distributing the diplomas to the de-
serving women is discharged by the

THAT GOEBEL ELECTION IA ~.

This is the way Henry Watterson,
in the Louisville Courier Journal,
February 25, 1898, characterized the
infamous Goebel election law which
was then pending in the Kentucky
Legislature:
The people may we'll stand aghast
before the revolutionary election bill
which has, like some dread monster,
suddenly emerged from the Businesses
of passion and error through which
the legislature has been threading
its tortuous way. 1t is safe to say
that the annals of free government
will be sought in vain for anything
approaching it in shameless effront-
cry and u~nconcealed deformity. The
records of reconstruction furnish
nothing to compare with it. The
Brownlow despotism at its worst
ventured upon nothing sc boldly,
wholly bad as this.
In all the force bills meditated by
the radicals in congress during the
dark days of reconstruction there
were discernible some pretense and
pretext, some lingering memory of
fScDuDitcau fuStluCtS anu tTdQibltIS.
Even in the PlebisciteS of Louis Ma
poleon there was the outer display of
a just electoral process and purpose.
This force bill gives the voters of
Kentucky not a ray of hope. Is makes
no claim or show of fairness. 1t
places exclusively in the hands of
three irresponsible persons, to be
named by the authors of the measure
itself. the entire electoral machinery
of the state. This is the whole of
it. In one word and at one fell
swoop Kentucky is to become the
subject of a triumvirate, which is to
decide who shall hold Office aud who
shall not.
This monstrous usurpation OF power
needs no explaining. 1t is 50 simple
a child may read it and understand
it. But no power a stop il unless
the people of Kentucky, not yet
wholly lost to liberty, manhood and
self-respect, arise in their majesty,
and arise at once. to call of the
meddened dogs of war whom pas
sion and faction have let loose at
Frankfort, and who, having had a
taste of blood. would rend the very
eagles that guard the commonwealth
limb from limb, leaving the people
only the bare and worthless bone.

THE LIMITED MAIL.
There used to be a bit of box office
gossip to the effect that Elmer Il.
Vance worked out the dramatic and
scenic details of his greatest play,
ssThe Limited Mail, while he sat at
his desk in the train dispatcher Of
fee of some railroad down in Illinois,
or vast Indiana? In those times he
was one of those lean fingered, shock
haired, pale individuals who sit all
night with a green shade over
their bullying brows, lingering
telegraph keys up and down.
Now he is rich, according to all ac-
counts, and travels in a private car,
and when not travelling spends his
time standing behind the treasurers
of theatres with his hand in his peck
cts, watching the money flow in
through the box office window. He
sat for a long time looking up the
track for the Limited, and when it
came it brought a load of riches for
him." The play will be at the Phil
lips opera house next Monday. Feb

to regulate the administration of the
