END OF THE KENTUCKY TROUBLE

The gubernatorial contest in Kentucky
is practically ended There 10 no longer
danger of serious trouble on account OF IT,
The action of Mr. Taylor yesterday in de-
Gliding that he would can off the soldiers,
reconvene the Legislature at Frankfort
and submit his claim to the office of Gov
ernor to the courts is the sanest thlng ne
has done since the assassin's bullet struck
down Gov Goebel. If he had acted as
wisely when it became apparent to him
that the Legislature would decide against
him. he would hold much higher place
in che estimation of his fellow citizens
than he does.
The coarse he pursued was revolution
airy. and if the Democrats had initiated
his example Kentucky would now. in all
probability, be the scene of civil war. The
determination of the Democrats to keep
within the law saved the state from that
calamity. We do not undertake to say
that Mr.. Taylor was not elected Governor.
That is a question we cannot decide. We
only know that Democratic returning
board gave him the certificate of election,
it appearing that he had plurality of the
the Democrats for keeping strictly within
the letter of the law, thus avoiding
condition of affairs that might have cost
many lives.
The courts will decide as 10 whether
Mr.. Taylor was elected Governor. 1t may
be difficult to get that question fairly be-
fore them, but it is probable THAI way
viii be found to do so. The whole coun-
try desires to know the truth about the
matter.
Mr.. Taylor declined to sign the agree
ment made at Louisville by leading Demo-
Gratis and Republicans for the settlement
of the trouble. 1t seems that on further
consultation with his friends ne thought
it advisable for him not to do SO. 1t is
better probably that the whole matter
should be left to the courts. Disputes
certain parts of the agreement There
will he no mistaking the meaning of the
decision of the courts.
There is one thing the Legislature should
do without unnecessary delay. 1t should
repeal the present election law, known as
the Goebel law, or at least so modify il
that it would be acceptable to all fair
minded men. 1t has been condemned
alike by Democrats and Republicans.
When it was pending in the Legislature
the Courier-Journal, the leading Demo-
cratic paper of Kentucky, called it a
most iniquitous measure 1t is the chief
cause of the trouble in the state. 1t may
cause trouble again if it is permitted to
remain among the statutes without
change.

THE MOLINEUX VERDICT.

The verdict in Molineux's case is a
surprise. His lawyers were so sure of his
acquittal that they did not introduce any
witnesses. They let the case go to the jury
on the testimony produced by the state
The testimony on which the accused was
convicted was, mainly that of seven ex-
perts in handwriting. All of them testi-
fed that the address on the package chat
contained the poison which caused the
death of Mrs. Adams was written by the
defendant Moineux. 1t was not thought
however, that jury would convict a man
of murder in the first degree on the testi-
mony of experts in handwriting, especially
as such experts are very apt to arrive at
different conclusions respecting manu-
scripts submitted TO them
There is no doubt that the lawyers for
the defense could have obtained expects
who would have testified that the hand
writing on the poison package was not
that of the accused. 1t was stated that
they had a number who were ready to so
testify, but 1t was thought there was no
need of such testimony.
This was one time when the lawyers
were mistaken. There was a difference
of opinion among prominent members OF
the bar as to whether the defendants
lawyers had acted wisely in not introduce
ing testimony. More than one lawyer
gave it as his opinion that the leading law
yer for the defense had shown himself to
be great lawyer by deciding not to in
troduce testimony. Those who held that
opinion are now likely to reverse it, and
to conclude that the really great lawyer
was the assistant district attorney, who
secured a conviction on testimony that
did not apparently convince the public
beyond reasonable doubt that the accus-
ed was guilty.
The state undertook to show a motive
for the alleged crime, but did not do so
satisfactorily. That was the weakest
part of the states case. 1t seems, how
ever, that the jury thought sufficient
motive had been shown and that the ex-
pert testimony as TO the handwriting wa
convincing.
The case is a remarkable one in more
respects than one. 1t is one of the mos,
celebrated in the history of crime in this
country.

A Pet Florida Crane.

He stands a one side by the hour, just
pluming himself, then gently picking at
shoe buttons and finger rings, says Forest
and Stream. Occasionally he is INDUCED
in a favorite pastfme--that of taking the
hair pins out of his mistress hair
In nature he is as gentle and affection
ate a kitten, and as he has never been
leased, he has no enmity for anything tx
cept a dog. One night he was attacked
by a strange dog, and since then his
hatred for any canine other than the home
dos, is intense, and as soon as his eagle
eye detects a strange dog he gives a cry
of alarm and in the most quiet, sedate
but stately way, walks out of range into
some retired corner. He is more Valua BILE
than watchdog, for at night, should any
strange object intrude on the premises, he
quickly gives a warning in a voice so loud
and dangerous TO wake even the "sev-
en- sleepers" thems elves.

NICARAGUA CANAL TROUBLES.

The opposition to the amended Clayton
Bulwer treaty is not the only obstacle
in the way of the Nicaragua canal bill
1t seems that company has succeeded In
getting from the Nicaraguan government
contracts for the right of way along the
proposed route of the canal and also GER
tain important concessions. If the canal
bill should pass, and the government
should approach the Nicaraguan govern
ment for the concessions necessary for the
building of the canal, 1t would find that
these concessions are all owned by COM
pany composed of thrifty American citl-
zers
1t is probable that these worthy citizens
would be willing to part with the rights
they have secured from the Nicaraguan
government for a consideration, but would
The consideration be such as the people
OF this country would be willing TO pay?
One statement that has appeared in the
public prints is that they would be willing
10 sell out to the government for 5000 900.
The chances are that they would want
twice that amount. But would public SEN
timent favor paying them even thai sum
It is>Nery doubtful, because of the belief
that they obtained the concessions with
out the expenditure of a great deal of
money and simply for the purpose of spec
ulation
Il may not be true of course. that they
obtained them with the view of selling
them 10 the government. 1t may be their
