Deprived of the Ballot.

Kentuchy's deplorable condition Is
due entirely to a law taking away
from the people the right to determine
elections. The audacity of the exper-
iment is surprising. but the results
are what might have been expected.
All the business of the state Is in con-
fusion. The people are wrathful and
determined that their rights shsll pre-
vail. But the Goebelites making the
attempt to usurp the functions Of gov
ernmEnt still push on When the
State Election Board failed them they
filled it up from their own ranks and
proceeded to throw out the votes Of
several counties in order TO claim the
minor state oncss. The entire vote
of Louisville has been thrown out to
sest contestants in the Legislature
and to got through a number Of laws
the Goebeltses especially need in their
operations. In some counties officials
are turning moaey over TO Taylor, In
others to Beckham. There arc two
sets OF state officers and general chaos
In the public affairs Of the entire
state.
More than q month has passed
since the shooting Of Goebel, and the
effort Of his political friends has been
to suppress the testimony SO that the
murder might be charged upon Re-
publican officials. The very men who
prevented an inquest urged the Offer
ing of a reward of 800, 900 to find tho
assassin, and, while hiding the pri-
mary facts, semi outside the state for
so-called detectives notorious for
shady political tricks. In all this
tumble of villainy and misgoyern-
ment the people of Kentucky, e
1000, Ot0 strong, are treated with ut
ter Indifference. Their votes are cast
aside, their majorities reversed and
their interests neglected. With a
sort of insane persistence the Goebel-
ties keep on with their scheme to des-
troy the ballot and to make the will
of a gang of politicians supreme e
that of the people. 1t cannot be done.
The Gocbel law will go down and vot-
ers will assert their sovereignty at
cost.-Globe- Democrat.

The south for Expansion.

Attention is drawn to Mr.. McLaur-
ms expansion speech iu the Senate
because it is the first formal oeclara-
tion On that side from a Democrat in
Congress. McLarin said the same
thing long ago In South Carolina.
Nearly every Southern man OF promi-
nenca is more or less committed in the
same way. Few of them may be as
frank as McLaurin in Congress, but,
were the question not past the voting
stage. few of them could vote in any
other way. One of the most import
ant facts about expansion is the al
most unanimous support of it by pub
lie opinion in the south'-New 1orf

Those who attempt to divide private
monopoIfes into good monopolies and bad
monopolies will never make any progress
toward the overthrow of the trusts There
is no good monopoly in private hands;
there never was, and never will be.
With all the advancement in civilization
man is still too selfish to be trusted with
the absolute control with that which his
fellows must have. The Republican party
has no remedy for the trusts. Publicity
is good but publicity alone is not suffi-
cfent. The practices OF the trusts must
not only be made known, they must be
prevented. The Democratic platform
contains demand for legislation which
will place trust made articles on the free
list. There is no doubt that such a law
would protect the people from much of
the extortion which is practiced under
cover of high tariff laws. If tariff
duty excludes the foreign product, while
domestic manufacturers combine to raise
the price of home product, the American
citizen may be plundered here while the
world. 1t may not be out Of place to
suggest that I introduced a bill eight
years ago providing for this remedy, but
we are not willing to stop al one remedy
we desire to apply every remedy within
the power of the state and federal gov
ernments. Congressional action is not
necessary to destroy trust which con-
fines its operations to a single city or a
single state. Such a trust can be exter-
minated by state legislation. It is with
IN the power of the state to prescribe the
conditions upon which corporations shall
be such as to make private monopoly
place limitations upon outside corpora
atoms doing business within the state.
This. however, Is not sufficient. Con-
gress must cooperate with the state In
preventing the organization OF any inter-

Paper Money Trust. t.Ajt~
At the opening of the last session of
Congress the Republican leaders pressed
through the House and Senate a bin
creating a paper money trust and sur
rendered into the hands of the national
hanks complete control of the national
currency Just as Congress was closing
a farcicaI and hypocFitfcal attempt was
made to deceive the public by the intro
duction of an antitrust amendment and
an antitrust bill. The amendment was
not necessary and intended to de-
priye the states of the power which they
now possess, rather than to confer. upon
Congress new authority This vicious
amendment was defeated IN the. House
by the Democrats. The Republican lead
ers then confessed the amendments. zun-
necessary by Introducing an antitrust
hill which was supported by the Demo
Gratis but which died In the Senate just
as 1t was expected to die. The Republic
an majority in the Senate referred the
bill to the judiciary committee against
the protests of the Democrats, who urged
its immediate passage. The Republican
party draws its contributions from the
trusts during the campaign. and pays
back its obligations by leaving the peo-
ple at the mercy of the trusts between
campaigns

trusts upon various classes Reference
