THE GUGGENHEiM PURCHASE TO EE
ACTED UPON.
New York advices state that the di-
rectors OF the American Smelling and
Refining company will meet next Tues
day at the offices, No. II Broadway, to
consider the proposition to absorb the
property of NJ. Guggenheim's Sons. The
plan for consolidation Is making good
progress, but it is doubtful whether final
action will be taken on Tuesday. Ac.
cording to high official of the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining company, the
price has not yet been decided upon.
"The transaction proposed" said this
official, ''is for us to issue new stock to
pay for the Guggenheim property. The
amount Of stock which it will take, yet
has to be decided upon. Our directors
will consider it Tuesday"
"Well, are prospects favorable for the
merger" was asked.
Yes" was the reply. "The Guggen-
helms have a good business. Their prop.
erty in Mexico is valuable"
just how near to a definite understand
ing the question OF the price has been
brought could not be learned today. The

matter. 1t is believed, however, that
any delay incident to difference as to
price will not DO OF long duration,

SENSATIONAL MINING CASE.

SENSAllONAlL II ShSE.
Last Saturday there was received by
M. Hazard, clerk Of the district court,
the complaint in suit to be institut
which will prove sensational case and
involving a number of large properties.
The plaintiff in the case is Frank c.
Came, who sues, not only on behalf of
himself, but on behalf of all the other
stockholders in the Fisk Mining and
Milling company who are similarly situ-
ated and who may desire to join in this
action, versus The Fisk Mining and
Milling company, a corporation, etc.
William II. Davis, Clarence X. Colvin,
Melville P. Dalton, Theophius King,
Walter M. Brewster, Dudley Porter,
Alden P. Jaques, Eldridge G. Wood
John S. Hobson, Lindley Ii. Stockbridge,
defendants.
The complaint recites that during the
past two years the majority of the de-
PENDANTS, as officers and directors Of the
Fisk company, have been mismanaging
the property, have misappropriated
funds, and now have entered into a con-
spiracy to dispose of the Fisk company's
property at about one-half of its real
value, and enter into consolidation
with the Cook properties and others, and
paying for the latter an exorbtant
price.
The plaintiff asks that the court ap-
point receiver for the Fisk properties,
to take hold of and manage and operate
the same under the direction of the
court. That the court order an account
ing from officers and directors. That all
proceedings of the board of directors in
reference to consolidation OF the prop
critics be declared illegal, and that the
contract entered into regarding consoli-
dation be declared void. That the court
order the officers to call meeting of
stock holders. He prays for an injunc-
tion restraining Clarence X. Co!vin, w.
b. Davis, their agents, assigns, etc, from
operating the Fisk Mining and Milling
company's property, and that the officers
and directors OF the Fisk be restrained
from delivering deed or deeds already
executed, or from conveying or attempt
ing to convey the Fisk property to others.
The complaint covers forty six pages
OF typewriter matter. A. B. Seaman
OF Denver is attorney for the plaintiff.

There is little room to question the

mony. He testifes that he was in the
thick of the assassins' plot. He and
the Powers brothers, who had always
been close friends, were in charge of
the work of assembling and bringing
to Frankfort the mountain mob of
200 desperate men. He says that
Powers's instructions were to get
regular mountain feudists," and that
the purpose was to rush into the Sen
ate chamber or the legislative hall dur
ing a joint session and kill Goebel and
enough Democrats to leave a Republic
can majority. Receipts for money ag-
| gregating about $3.50 were produced,
signed by county leaders, who got the
money from Golden to help pay the
expenses of the invading army.
In view of these astounding revela-
tions, which read like a chapter from
the political history of the dark ages,
it is indeed, high time the lawful
authorities of Kentucky were asserting
themselves to bring order out of this
revolutionary chaos. And the first step
toward this end should be the indict-
ment of Taylor and his associates and
political advisors for the murder OF
Gov. GOebel.

A Gross WRONG RIGHTED.

The truth is mighty and will prevail.
The old adage has been proven in
the case of Commissioner Dunlevy, of
Marshall county, ousted from his seat,
Oh rather counted out, in the late cleo
ton by the notorious partisan County
Court in its recount" Of the vote.
Although Marshall county IS over
whelmingly Republican, the good peo-
pie there, like their neighbors in Ohio
county, are sick of ring rule and at
the late election elected Mr.. Dunlevy,
a Democrat, to the County Court,
which promptly proceeded to count
him out.
Mr.. Dunlevy, however, appealed his
case to the State Supreme Court, which
has just returned a verdict sustaining
his contention and awarding him the
seat to which the people of Marshall
elected him.
The revelations regarding the loose
methods in handling the ballots under
the old regime in Marshall, which ere
ated a sensation at the time, are still
fresh in the minds of the people, es-
pecially the Independent citizens of
Marshall, who will rejoice that justice
has finally been done In this case.

MURDER IN POLITICS.

The revelations of Sergeant Wharton
Golden, one of Usurper Taylor's mill
tia, discount anything in the way Of
charges brought by the most violent of
Taylor's political accusers.
Golden turned States evidence and
his testimony reveals the most start
ling state of affairs that ever existed
in a civilized community.
The nearest approach to the meth
DDS adopted by the Republican leaders
of Kentucky to hold the offices from
which the ballots of the people had
ousted them is found in some of the
smaller countries of South America,
where revolution is the climaxof nearly
every political contest. Even in these
half civilized republics we have yet to
hear of such damnable outrage and
treachery as is revealed in the testi-
r1ony of Sergeant Golden.
In a nutshell it is shown that the
Republican leaders of Kentucky, beaten
at the polls, in the Legislature and in
the Courts, and refused the counte-
nance Of the National Administration
at Washington, and even the Republic
can U. S. Senator from Kentucky, still
determined to hold onto Office in spite
of the will of the people and law and
order, finally in desperation deliberate
ly planned wholesale murder, to kill,
the legally elected Governor, Will
liam Goebel, in which foul crime they
succeeded, and to invade the Leg
islative halls, and, to use the language
of Taylor's henchman, Sergeant Gold
en-, ito kill off enough of these fellows
Democratic L~egislators) to give us a
majority"
1t is further confessed by Golden that
Gov. Goebel's assassination was DELHI
erately planned by the Republican lead
ers, and he directly duplicates Usurper
Taylor and his Secretary of State Caleb
Powers. He names the negro assas-
/ selected Tor the Work. All OF
which neatly dovetails with the fact
that the assassin's bullet came from a
windown in the office of the Secretary
of Etate, Caleb Powers.
The testimony of Sergeant Golden
was straightforward and unhesitating.
Gov. Goebel's death was predicted to
him by the brother of Secretary of
State Powers, who told him, "Goebel
is going to be killed this morning" and
that there are two niggers to kill
Goebel." One of these, "Tallow Dick"
Combs, himself, told Goebel, II can see
him a long way, and I can kill him as
far as I can see him." Secretary of
State Powers stated In the presence Of

THE LEAD TRUST.

In a letter in another column Mr..
George A. Macbeth, the greatest lamp
chimney manufacturer in the world,
shows how the Lead Trust, by the aid
of an exorbitant tariff, sells lead for
s4.70 per 100 pounds in New York and
for $500 in London-a difference of
$22 per ton. Mr.. Macbeth does not dis
cuss his own affairs, else he might
have said that his concern, the a
beth-Evans Glass Company, consumes
about 40 tons of lead a week or 1000
tons a year. Hence on this m item
which most people do not suppose en-
tiers in lamp chimneys at all-his COM
pany pays $40, 900 a year more than is
paid by the foreign rivals. This trib-
ute is forced from his company by the
Lead Trust. 1t is enabled to do so
because of its high tariff protection"
or, as Mr.. Macbeth says. keeps off
any competitors" and enables it to
dictate prices to us protected" Amer
leans.
Another important item in the man.
ufucture of glass Is soda ash. Four
years ago soda ash was selling at so
cents per 100 pounds. The manufac-
turers got together and fixed the price
at 65 cents. They sell only through
n agent, wing G Evans, of New
York;, and the tariff enables them to
maintain this price although the cost
to make soda ash is only $6 or 81 per
ton. Lumber for packing boxes is an
other very important item to the CHM
ney manufacturers. The tariff keeps
out Canadian lumber and is devastat-
ing the forests of Michigan and other
States. Of course the lamp chimney
manufacturers, like the window, plate
and other glass trusts, may, because
of the tariff sell their goods to Amer
leans at higher prices, but Macbeth
does not believe in that way Of con-
Quoting business. He is teaching out
and seeking to control thu world. He
has almost done it, notwithstanding
his handicap by tariff prices of raw
materials, and asserts his ability to
supply the whole world with lamp
chimneys Of our government will only
take the tariff out Of his way.

rare that such an attraction falls to the
