The Crisis in Kentucky.

A score Of years ago, Maine was on
the verge Of civil War as the result Of
the Fusonist attempt {" steal the
Legislature with which rested. in de-
fault Of a popular vote. the election of
a governor. The conditions were criti-
cal and a bloody collision between the
warning parties seemed imminent. Only
the militia under the command of Gen
eral Chamberlain preserved p3ace. But
the decision of the supreme court. ad-
verse at every point to the Fuslonlst
conspiracy, was Loyalty and even crate
fully accepted by every citizen of
Maine The intense excitement quickly
died down. bloodshed was prevented.
and instead of bringing Il stain upon
| its name the State came through the
crisis with honor in the eyes of the
world.
But, unfortunately for the outlook of
peace in Kentucky, the moral senti-
ment and the respect for law in that
state are not so highly developed in
1900 as they We're in Maine in 1850. If
judicial interference was needed in our
own State. much more is it needed in
Kentucky. for if the struggle in Ken
lucky comes 10 the clash Of arms there
is no knowing how far it will spread in
a community where shooting at sight
l.. al "a
assassinate Goebel has stimulated his
followers to even greater excuses in
their attempt to Gust Governor Taylor.
They claim they act Only within the
law. But the Goebel law is Il law to
violate the law. 1t gives a Legislative
majority fun power 10 reverse the will
of the people expressed at the polls
No court would for a moment sustain
the conSttutiOnalty Of such a remark
able statute. Taylor was elected gov
ernor by atclose majority ana even the
Democratic returning board created by
this same Goebel law. after canvassng
the returns. gave Taylor the certificate
Of election. Accordingly. he was sworn
into Office. But now the Democratic
Legislature meets. ana setting aside
the Will Of the people and the verdic,
of the returning board. declares Goe-
bel elected and has a justice give him
the oath as governor.
The rejection Of Goebel ut the polls
is beyond dispute and it is nothing
short Of the rankest usurpat ton for his
partisan Legislature to place him in
the gubernatorial chair. The c3nstitu-
ton declares that the general govern
ment shall guarantee each state re-
publican form Of governments" 1t is
obligatory. not optional. ana the Pres
iGent will be warranted in decisive ac-
ton To stop the Cioebelites from
thWarting the will Of the people of
Kentucky. There is no question as to
the decision Of the federal courts if the
matter is carried to them and it is
and the danger of bloodshed and last
ing feuds averted. The eyes of the
country are upon Kentucky and it
cannot afford to let its passions over
come its reason. Moderation and jus
tice will soon straighten out the tan
gle. And when once the courts have
confirmed Governor Taylor's right To
his seat no efforts should be spared To
capture and punish the coward who
tried the impossible feat of making
right out Of two wrongs by shooting
down GOebel

Secre!arf Cages Victory.

The vicious and reckless attack up
on the secretary Of the treasury has
fallen flat. 1t was a piece Of peanut
politics to begin with. inspired by yea
low journalism and pushed by mud
singers ana d"magogucs. No man in
public life has shown himself more
worthy Of public confidence than Sec
rotary Case. NJ secretary Of the
treasury was ever more faithful to thr
trust reposed i'll him. H. entered the
office with the highest ideals Of duty
ana the integrity ana ability which
had won him national respect in his
private life have marked every act Of
his public career. But it is one of the
penalties III American public life that
men in high places are unprotected

accused Of jobs and robbery, Of inn
proper relations with the great banks
Of New York. ana Of plotting with fl
nauCiers to defraud the government.
Ii was only tissue Of lies To be sure.
but lies travel fast and find people all
To eager to believe them. If a single
senator or representative who voted
for the inquiry resolutions had any
doubt of senator Cages integrity, il
has been removed by the complete ana
candid reply which that official has
transmitted to Congress. The ground
of assault is covered completely and
his slandorers have not IN inch Of
ground to stand upon. The PopuIist
minority is guilty Of many contempti-
bic acts. but this vicious attack upon
Mr.. Gage was the worst of all. But
they have no sense of shame and in
stead Of being confused by the collapse
Of their campaign against the head Of
the treasury department they will bob
up screncly with their hands fun Of
mud to throw in some other direction.
