the decision of the legislature, if favora-
BILE to Goebel, would be resisted by
violence. Taylor being in Office had
power to call out the MALTA. He had
summoned to Frankfort, tho capital, not
the regular MALTA, but throngs of
lawless mountaineers, the most Of
whom were moonshiners gaining live
lihood by distilling Illicit whisky. These
bandits always resisted United States
officers attempting to collect the whisky
tax. They had killed many United
States officers in the discharge of duty.
In some of the family feuds among the
mountaineers numerous lives had been
destroyed.
Recruits from this class had been
organized to protect the usurping
governor in office If the finding of the
legislature-the constitutional tribunal
should be against him. Civil war
had been threatened If the legislature
should determine that frauds at the
ballot box and military intimidation at
the polls had vitiated the majority on
the face of the returns in favor Of the
sitting governor. He had announced
that he would not submit to the de-
cree Of the law-that he would hold his
Office by force With this object he had
called around him the mob Of noun
taineers.
Animated by this spirit of resistance
to law, an assassin, Tuesday, as Mr..
Gsebel was walking along the street,
in Frankfort, fired several shots at him,
one or more Of which caused fatal
wounds. First reports were to the
effect that Goebel had been killed. The
intent to asassinate, although i'm
puerfectly fulfilled, shows the same
depth of crime. The Republican an
archists of Kentucky must bear this
guilt.

promise to reduce prices, once they are
created and Established" 1t is time
to return to the issue that has been
dropped for six years. for the protected
interests are solidifying and strength
ening their hold on the industries of
the country. The protective system is
for private gain. 1t is a socialism whose
beneficiaries will, in the future, reap
larger profits than they have ever gain
ed before. They will do this through
combinations which will crush out all
competition, The tariff protects them
from foreign competition. The combi-
nation will protect them from domestic
| competition. The examples here given
show the tyranny of the tariff defended
trusts-the greatest tyranny that the
protective system has yet set up. Its
profits are enormous. The protected
trusts produce so cheaply because of
combination that they can sell abroad
at comparatively low but profitable pri-
ces, but they draw the blood sacrifice
to greed from the American consumer.

WILL HE BE A CANDIDATE ?

The Review is in receipt of an inquiry
from a prominent Republican of Co
lumbiana county, asking If Hon. S. j.
Williams of this city will be a candi-
date for the Republican congressional
nomination in the Eighteenth district.
Mr.. Williams has not authorized any
one to speak for him in this matter,
so far as we know, and as he is now
in Florida, with his family, we are un-
able to consult him before referring to
our friends inquiry. We do know, how
ever, that if Mr.. Williams should de-
eide to become a candidate he will have
the united and hearty support of the
Republicans of Alliance, and, we feel
sure, very liberal support throughout
Stark county. His candidacy would
Llso receive encouragement in Mahon-
ing and Columbiana counties.
In short, Mr.. Williams would possess
many elements of strength as a con-
gressional candidate. He is a staunch
Republican and is in thorough harmony
with the administration. In fact, he is
the close personal friend of the presi-
dent.
He served the people of the Twenty
first senatorial district very creiditably
for two terms in the state senate, and
is well qualified to represent the grand
old Eighteenth district in congress.
Possessing a character that is spotless,
a record that has never known failure
and a mind that is richly stored with
knowledge, accumulated through a de-
sire to learn and the actual personal
experiences from participation in life's
battles, he is today the we'll equipped
man. Those who know him best ad-
mire him most. We sincerely hope that
he may see his way clear to become
a candidate for congressional honors.-
Alliance Review
1t will be seen from the above that
the Review" has a candidate for con-
gress and it is not the editor either-it
is S. ]. Williams. better known as
"Uncle silas,"
The Republican organ of the county
seat, also has a candidate-its candidate
is Hon. Robert w. Tayler, sometimes
known as dollar Bob"
The West End organ, the Massilon
Independent, has not been heard from
yet but the impression prevails in
political circles that it will second the
nomination Of the present incumbent. 1t
is not our purpose to discourage our
Alliance friends. but with Massillon
and Canton both bent on the renomina-
tion of Tayler, we can see very little
hope for 'Uncle Silas," should he con-
clude to become candidate. In fact
we would not hesitate to say that the
Hon. S. j. Williams. or any other ALI
ance candidate, cannot be nominated II
Stark county's delegation decides the
contest. If the Review really desires the
nomination of it's candidate it must
look elsewhere than to the central and
western parts of Stark county for a
favorable delegation

ENGLAND's BITTER CUP.
(Chicago Chronicle.)


1t was Bismarck who said that South
Africa would be the grave of the British
empire. The iron chancellor's cordial
] hatred of everything English may have
tinged his prediction with exaggeration
and "the wish that is father to the
thought" And yet it is to Lord Roberts
and to Kitchener, the sirdar, that Eng
land now\looks for rescue, in her hour
| If direst peril, from the yawning grave
of her hopes and staggering blow at
the solidarity of the British empire.
1t is an hour in which the usually
| impassive Briton is stirred to his hearts
core with such humiliation as only the
defeated braggart is capable of feeling.
| Even the London Times, a source from
which we would at least expect merciful
| exaltation and abasement, compares
Buffers retreat across the Tugela with
the British surrender to the American
patriots at Yorktown. The bitter cup is
scarcely made less palatable by the
rhetorical rhodomontade of Butler in de-
scribing the magnificent bearing Of his
troops as they ran away from the enemy
and left Ladysmith to it's fate. 1t is one
of the blacklist pictures in the military
history of the empire that has been
built up by triumphs over weaker peo-
pies, but receives it's first terrific check
from a comparative handful of Dutch
farmers.
1t is not so much that the Beers,
| whose reliance upon their "long Toms
and the God of battles is in about equal
proportions, have soundly trounced the
British at every turn. If this were all
| 1T would simply mean the remapping of
the entire campaign by Roberts and
Kitchener and the pouring out of
British blood and treasure until the ex-
| austed Beers would ultimately lose their
| fight against overwhelmingly superior
resources. But England knows only
too well that, being an Ishmaelite
among the great powers, every defeat
in South Africa means the nearer jeo-
pardy of her vast colonial possessions
elsewhere. Her war lords also know
only too well that, crippled and ex-
hausted by the present enormous drain
on her military resources either a con-
certed or individual attack from another
quarter might be the final blow to i'm
perial prestige. England's statesmen
also know that the gallant struggle of
the Beers for liberty is being assisted
In every possible way by underground
methods, the helpers being in many in
stances governments that for diplomatic
reasons make an ostentationus show of
friendliness for Great Britain.
Whether, in view of these greater
dangers to imperial prestige, England
will consent TO mediation and truce in
South Africa the near future will de-
termine. But we look in vain as yet for
any sign that England will withdraw
her troops from any motive but dire
necessity and to escape greater humilia-
tions. In the lamentations of British
spokesmen we discover as yet no money
avowal that the war was a colossal
blunder and that it is not yet too late
to withdraw voluntarily with compare
tive honor before a second Yorktown
destroys both honor and imperial in
tegrity.

Dan lost his luck when he parted from

She was spoken Of as a noble woman,
who by gentle methods supplied Dan
with the guidance which he needed.
She had never been professional before
her marriage. but he taught her a

do up to the time Of their separation.
Her daughter Elizabeth became the wife

the North that Dan had bloomed out as
q rampant rebel. and when he appeared
in the Walnut Street Theatre. Philadel-
phia, 10 the winter Of 1923, he met
with a very hostile reception.
When the supposed rebel appeared in
the ring there was a crowded house to
greet him with a tornado Of Kisses,
groaus, yell' Of secessionist, Johnny
Reb," and suggestions that he should
be shot OF hanged. Fortunately for
him he had the courage to stand up In
the ring and face his accusers until
they were weary Of shouting. Then he
told them that he was and always had
been Union man, that his home and In
terests were Northern. but that he could
not get out Of the Confederscy sooner
or otherwise than he did, and that he
had done nothing that he deemed de-
served any apology. His manliness,
even more than his words, won for him
new consideration, but though there
was no longer any idea Of mobbing
him enough doubt was left In many
minds to cast a shadow over his
popularity. In 1868 his show, after a
disastrous season, went to pieces and
most Of it was sold for debt. Out Of
the wreck he saved his famous trick
horse Excelsior and his pair Of trained
Burmese cattle He was the first man
who ever trained and introduced in the
