Gov. Taylor proclaims martial
law in Kentucky and adjourns the
Legislature from Frankfort to meet
at London, Ky, Feb. 9th.

The attempted assassination of
Senator Goebsl was a dastardly
piece of work for which no possible
justification can be offered. By
many it will be charged to the op-
position parties, but this is unjust
for nothing could be gained by such
an act, while it would create sym-
pathy and make friends for the
Goebel party whether the leader
hives or dies. In all likelihood il
will be found to have been the per.
sonal act of some excited or insane
partisan, and is the outcome of
the teachings in Kentucky that the
rifle or pistol is the arbitsr of all
disputes. 1t is a most depIorable
affair and the great danger is that
bloodshed will follow.

passed from the mere bad taste of

Sermon in Scrap Iron Pile.
Aberdeen News.

The farmer who had aquantity ofscrap
iron about his place last fall takes no
stock in the cant that the sharp advance
in iron manufactures Is chargeable en-
tirely to the manipulation OF trusts. He
knows that while those heaps of iron
used to be regarded as nothing better
than blotsupon the landscape, they were
eagerly bought by spectators during
the shipping season, who In turn sold
them to iron foundries at from % to 80
per ton on board cars in this city. And
he is sharp enough to argue from this
that there must have been and still Is an
unprecedented demand for iron that Of
itself would be sufficient to materially
enhance the price of finished products.
He knows that the percentage of increase
in the price of his scrap iron has been
in excess of the percentage of increase
in manufactures therefrom. People who
think the farmer cannot deduce con.
illusions from facts that come under his
own observation simply underrate the
intelligence of a man whose intelligence
Is usually above the average.
