EVERY PUBLIc-sPIRrTED Kentuckian has rea-
son to congratulate himself on the conviction
of Curtis Jet and Thomas White for the muir
der of James B. MarcuIu. The fact that Mar
cum was Republican, that Jet and White
are Democrats, and that the jury which rem
dered the verdict of guilty was carefully made
up with an overwhelming preponderance of
holders of the same political faith as the pris-
oners, makes its verdict all the more notable
in State where partisanship runs to extremes.
1t is true the prisoners will be imprisoned for
life instead of being executed but that they
were convicted at all is the main point "The
aim of the British constitution is to get twelve
honest men in the jury box" said Edmund
Burke 1t is the aim of our laws. Justice
resides in the jury box, and this exhibition of
it in Kentucky is the most hopeful bit of news
of the day. So let us praise Kentucky as
heartily for her good acts as we bitterly con-
denim her feuds.

Mr.. RICHARD GARFIELD, the prince of present
day gamblers, bought 20 900 shares of Read
ing Railroad stock at AZ and sold out at 81,
making 100000. He bet on the turn ola card,
as in his own gambling house, and won. The
New York Eteniag World puts it this way :
Reading stock is intrinsically worth no more
now than it was at the time of Mr.. Canfeld's
purchase. The roads prospective earnings
are no greater. 1t simply happens, to quote
the technical Wall street report, that the
sharp advance was due mainly to covering by
alarmed bears, many of whom are said to have
gone short of the stock That is to say, they
played it and won" And yet an illogical
public thinks Mr.. Garfield betting on the ace
and in the Stock Exchange represents two
entirely different men and natures.

In AN INTERVIEW with newspaper cores
pondent at Deer Park, Nd, on Monday last ex-
Governor Lowndes said: when the Repub-
lican party came into power in 1895 in the
State of Maryland it Immediately redeemed
every pledge made by it. Prior to that time
the Democratic party had made promise after
promise, but failed to redeem any of them.
The Republican party passed an assessment
law that brought millions of dollars upon the
tax books which had previously escaped tax
alton. 1t passed an election law which per-
mitted every citizen in the State of Maryland
to vote his sentiments; not one was disfran-
chised. 1t reduced taxation. it appointed COM
petent and honest officials in the different State
institutions and managed them honestly and
we'll. 1t had no lobby or grandmother's fund
things that had been in existence and even
revived since the Democratic party's accession
to power" Mr.. Lowndes said that the present
contest in the Republican party would end as
soon as the nominations were made and that
the party would be all unit before the day OF
election.

a Democratic candidate for sheriff of the city.
Evidently Mr.. Brack believes that the State is
not getting all out of that Office that it is en-

II do hereby pledge myself, should you see fit
to nominate and elect rae, that l will turn over
to the Comptroller of the Treasury all excess
money derived from fees or moneys coming
into my hands for the discharge of all official
duties whenever the amount received for the
year shall exceed the legitimate office expenses,
and also the sum of $4,000 which the Sheriff.
under Article IL, Section 1, of the Constitution,
is entitled to retain as his salary or compensa-
ton; and the books in which he entered every
sum or sums of money received as payment
of compensation, or in any way growing out
of or connected with said Office, will be open
at all times for inspection of any citizen"

EVERYBODY WILL read with tinge OF sor-
row that the sale of other property belonging
to the estate of the late Allen G. Thurman not
being sufficient to pay the debts of the estate,
a petition for the sale of the old homestead, in
which the sold Roman" lived during the last
twenty years of his life and now occupied by
his son, A. w. Thurman, has been filed in the
courts at Columbus, O.. Judge Thurman once
told friend that there was a time during his
last term in the Senate when be had made up
his mind to resign to amend his fortunes
but fortunately he became counsel-together
with either Edmunds or Conkling-in law
suit which paid him large fee and placed
him on easy street. Evidently his fee did not
place him beyond want or to tide over the
long years when he was unable to appear IN
the courts. Judge Thurman gave most of his
years to high public service when salaries were
small. With the chances of others to make
much he retired poor, always maintaining
that high standard of character which won him
the title "Old Roman" Sad as it may be for
an old homestead to go out of family name,
still better it is to have an unmarked and OBJ
scure grave than a history which was lie
ond rnust no defended.

JUDGE PARKER says he wants to remain on
the bench. Many of the Southern Democratic
leaders say it would be good thing to take
the judge at his word. Yet there is strong OPP
position somewhere or other against every
Democrat who has yet been named in connec-
ton with the Presidential nomination. There
is no indication ola concentration on any DEM
ocrat Judge Parker has as good chance
still as any one on his side who has been
coupled with the candidacy. Perhaps New

When the new order of Postmaster
General Payne goes into effect, practi-
cally making every railroad train in the
United States mail train, the railroads
will not only get the long end of the deal
from a financial standpoint, but will at
last have succeeded in accomplishing
what they have so long striven for, that
of placing their trains under Federal pro-
lection, enabling them to demand govern
ment aid in times of strikes or other labor
troubles. Any train, passenger or freight,
will be empowered to carry the mails,
and while the people will be benefited in
some sections by this new order of things,
its real purpose, hidden under the guise
of a move for the public good, is to hold
the government responsible and be able to
forestall any attempt organized labor may
make to interfere with the movement Of
trains in time of strikes, as past exper-
fences of this description have proven
rather expensive to the big railroad cor
porations and they propose to saddle the
expense and responsibility upon the gov
eminent in future.

The Appeal points with pride to the
harmony which prevailed at the republi-
can convention in Elkton last week, and
declares there was an centre absence OF
bossism," but the way nominations were
railroaded through as slated, by acclama-
ton, and the fact that the Mccullough
Smith faction had entire control and there
was no possible chance for contest,
makes many somewhat skeptical about
the " absence of bossisli," and leads to
the belief that the democratic party has
not an entire monopoly of the "bosses"
in Cecil. In a convention controlled abb
solutely by single faction there is not
much opportunity for anything but one
sided harmony" If the Appeal wants
to hear something that doesn't smack
altogether of harmony in his political
family, let him visit some of the outlying
districts-the Sixth for instance.

Just at present the postal scandal is lost
sight of in the public eye, by the revela-
tions in the Indian Territory, where
wholesale land frauds have been practic-
ed and the civilized tribes of Indians
pludered of about everything they pos
sessed. A number of government officials
are implicated, being in fact the real pro-
motors and organizers of the schemes by
which the red men have been robbed Of
their lands, etc. The older the Admin
istration grows the more corrupt it turns
out to be, until it bids fair of being known
in history by the frauds practiced and
scandals revealed during its regime,
rather than by any beneficial legislation
accomplished.

In commenting on the special session
of Congress, which will convene imme-
diate1y after election, and the work for
which it is called, an exchange says, it
wouldn't do for this extraordinary ses-
sion to be held before election, as the peo-
pie might repudiate the administration for
the nefarious scheme it has to propose.
The'people must be caught unawares. The
work of this extra session is to pass law
permitting Wall Street to enter upon the
most extravagant and dangerous banking
scheme that has ever been known. The
days of "wildcat" banking will be an ex-
pertinent compared with it. These money
mongers propose bank currency based
upon bank assets" which means
trust stocks aud any old thing that Wall
Street may list. Besides, it means branch
banking-a bank monopoly. No one
who is engaged in legitimate banking
can favor it. No one who believes in
stable values of currency will support it.
But everyone who feels an interest should
be on his guard.

The Titusville, Pa, Courier, warns up
in discussing the proposed new banking
measure, and the members of its party
who favor its passage. Says the Courier;
Imagine for a moment how Jefferson
would have viewed the policy Of banking,
on any and all kinds of stocks, and of
giving to corporations the issuing OF
paper money to be secured by corpora
ton stocks alone Those democrats who
betrayed their party and went over to the
enemy in 1896 and 1900 are naturally
clamoring for such kind of currency.
And these are the men who have talked
SO loudly of sound money and honest
money. An elastic currency-based on
the gamblers stocks in Wall Street !! To
hades with such frauds T"
