February 3, the Secretary OF the In

Taylor Knocked Out.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States Monday decided the Kentucky
Governorship case in favor Of Cover.
nor Beckham, disnissing the writ OF
error from the Kentucky Court Of
Appeals. The opinion was handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller, and d
dissenting opinion was given by JUS
tice Harlan. Justices Brewer, Brown
and McKenna also disaented from
portions Of the opinion.
The grounds on which the jurisdic-
ton is sought to he maintained in the
present case in substance is rs fol.
lows:
First-That the action OF the Gen.
eral Assembly OF Kentucky in the
matter OF these contests depnves
plaintiffs in error of their Offices
without due process OF law.
Second-That the action OF the
General Assembly deprives the PEG,
pie OF Kentucky OF the right tC
choose their W representatives Sc,
cured 10y the guarantee Of the Federal
Constitution OF h republican form OF
government.
The highest court Of the State has
often held. and in the present case
has again declared, that under the il
constitutional provisions the power
OF the General Assembly to determine
the result is exclusive.
The statute en- acted for the purpose
OF carrying the provision OF the Con
stitutlon into effect has been in force
since 1899.

INDIGESTION OF PROSPERITY.

To Chauncey NJ. Depew belongs
the honor Of discovering what is the
matter with the country. He says:
.Ws are suffering from an indigestion
Of prosperity"
No pathological, surgeonor Senator.
ial faith healer could have hit the ma.
tional nail more squarely on the
head. Indications Of the indigestion
OF prosperity" are visible everywhere.
No country in the world. from Spitz.
bergen to Patagonia, can digest
prosperity without assinilating its
workingmen. Labor, taken heed
lessly and without care as to conse.
quences, will rever lie easily ON the
stomach Of monopoly.
There is where the trouble comes
in. The operations OF prosperity are
too one-sided, and workingmen are
just beginning to find it out. Hence
the indigestion" referred to by Mr..
Depew.
It Is fortunate that the afili c.ion is
self-corrective. 1t is fortunate that
workingmen all over the Union, cor
shutting. rs they do, nine. tenths Of
the bone and sinew Of the nation
operating, rs they do, every mine and
mill, factory and farm in the country,
are taking the matter Of assimilation
into their own hands.
They cannot be left GU, OF the
question by monopoiists without CIV
ing the national nag the blind stag.
gers. For every cent OF Increased
wages grudingly accorded to work
ingmen by their employers the prices
Of products have been raised two
cents. Thus our present. prosperity
is Like unto a horse that feels in fine
oats at one end and kicks backward
ut it's grooms with the other.
Wise MIR. Depew is right. The
pulse OF national prosperity will not
become normal until the workingmen
are properly considered.-New York
