THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Saturday.
THE FAULT OF AUTHORITIES.

While the papers all over the coun-
try are commenting on the shameful
state Of affairs IN Breathitt county,
Kentucky the authorities in Kentucky
continue to sit supinely by and do
nothing. II was ststed in the Sun
several days ago that Governor Beck
ham could send troops there If he
deemed il necessary, and IL certainly
seems necessary il only to teach the
element that has terrorized the COM
munity lesson. That the governor
could send troops if he really wanted
to wipe out lswlessness in Bresthitt Is
the position taken by Lexington law
yer, who thus writes to the Lexington
Herald:
"A strange feature about the assas-
sinations in jackson is that everybody
appears to take it for granted that the
governor has to wait until some local
Official makes a requisition for troops
before he has authority to order out
the state guard. The only law have
been able to find is contained in SEQ
tion 2672 of the Kentucky Statutes
and this certainly leaves it with him
to order them out at any time upon
his own information, however obtained
and in his own discretion. Certainly
the governor could make such repre-
sensations to the circuit judge ana dis
trict attorney that they would both
see the propriety of standing aside,
and this would enable the governor to
organize court under the protection
of state troops and bring the guilty
parties-at least to trial that the
public would have confidence in. No
body would regard trial or investi-
cation by a grand jury summoned by
the present circuit judge as anything
more than travesty on Justice or ju-
dicial proceedings. Whether Judge
Redwine is justly or unjustly sLspi-
cioned of sympathy with one Of the
factions, suspicinned he is most strong
ly and most universally by the people.
The preliminary proceedings that may
be had during the delay Of the COVER
nor 70 sct can have no other effect, il
seems to me. than to embarass and ex-
pose to danger unnecessarily the wit
nesses who might be depended upon to
testify for the commonwealth in any
prosecution of the guilty ones. If the
governor had inaugurated some such
vigorous initiative when the other as.
sassinations occurred more than yeai
ago there is every reason to believe
this recent one would not have DC
Cured"
In its comment the Herald says that
the governor has been openly accused
of connivance with the authorities o.
Breathitt, and intimates that he shoulc
have acted before now. 1t quotes th'
following law, showing bis power:
nISection 2672-Governor May Ordel
Militia Into Service-It shall be th'
duty of the governor whenever he may
deem it necessary for the safety Of
welfare OF the commonwealth, o.
when any actual or threatened inva
sion, jnsurrection, domestic violence o.
other danger to the public interes
makes it necessary to employ militar,
force in aid of the civil power of thu
government for the enforcement of thu
law. or to preserve the peace and thu
security of the rights and lives or pro
perty of the citizens, to order into so

says he hates to do it, but it is his
duty, as q scaffold is structure

GERMAN suRYEILLANcE.

E
 Least pleasing of5duties was looking after fugitives from justice or birds of prey evidently seeking new victims. On this latter point recall an experience which may throw some light on the German mode of watching doubtful persons. A young American had ap- peared i'll various public places wearing a naval uniform to which he was not entitled. declaring himself son of the President of the United States, and apparently making ready for 2 career of scoundrelism.a Consulting the minister of Foreign Affairs one day, I mentioned this case asking him to give me such information as came to him. He answered: Remind me at your next visit, and perhaps I can show you something ts ..
 "0n my calling some days later, the minister handed me paper on which was inscribed apparently not only every place the young man had visited during the last week, but everything he had done and said, his conversations in the restaurants being noted with es- peefal care. and while the man was evidently worthless, he was clearly rather fool than a scoundrel. On my expressing surprise at the fitness of this information the minister seemed quite as much surprised at my suppos- ing it possible for any good government to exist without such complete survei- llanee of suspected persons.-Andrew D. White, in The Century.

NoRoRoss BRos.' AFFAIRS.
Plan of Reorganization Sent Out to the
 Creditors.

Worcester, Mass, Aug. 5.-The com mittee chosen to represent the creditors of Norcross Brothers company sent out | to-day to over one thousand creditors
 the plan of reorganization. Substan- | tially, it provides that the Norcross
 Brothers company and c. W. Norcross turn over all their assets for the ben eft of creditors. Two new Massachu-
 sets corporations will be. formed, one
 known as the Construction company, which will have s1,25O,0GO of quick as- sets, all contracts on hand and the good will of the business. This will be i the working company under the man agement of c. w. Norcross for five years. Extension notes for p per cent.
 of the indebtedness of the merchandise
 creditors and sub-contractors are the
 only obligations of this company. The
 other corporation will be the holding corporation, to be known as the Nor cross properties (incorporated), which will take all the assets of the Norcross Brothers company and c. w. Noreross, except the quick assets, and assume all obligations of the Norcross Brothers company and of c. W. Norcross except 9 per cent. of the claims of merchant disc creditors and sub contractors. Stock of the Construction company will be transferred to the holding company, and stock of the holding company win be transferred to trustees who will be elected by the holders of bonds to be issued by the holding company. Thus the bondholders will have control of fhn holding company will issue trust bonds
 for five years at 6 per cent. sufficient to
 cover all obligations. Holders of paper
 of the Norcross Brothers company and
 c. w. Noreross will be paid in these
 bonds in exchange for their paper at |par. Merchandise creditors and sub-
 contractors will take 75 per cent. of these bonds. All the earnings of the Construction company and net earnings
 of the assets of the holding company
 will be used as a fund for the retire
 nlent of the bonds which will be pur- chased every six months by the trus-
 tees under the mortgage for the, bond-
 holders at the lowest rate offered, not.
 to exceed par, or in case no bond be
 offered they will be redeemed by lot at
 par to the extent of the available mon
 ey for that purpose Permanent loans of upward of $2O5, ,OOO secured by the
 trust mortgage are to be extended for five years. r.s-.. -5.-..
 In this proposed plan both Noreross Brothers company and C.. W. Norcross are released from all obligations, direct and contingent, and all creditors will receive bonds and extension notes in settlement of their claims. A large number of creditors in Worcester. in
 cluding the Worcester banks, have al- ready adopted the plan.

MISS SHAW WASTING TIME.

The avowed Ibsenites in America are a large and noisw band. who go about declaring that Ghosts" is a greater tragedy than Hamlet" and "The Dolls
 House" superior to anything on the
 modern stage. and are ever readyst to ap- plaud any actor who seeks to exploit his meretricious art at the expense of the great Scandinavian's fame. But they will not pay for their seats, and there is scarcely one of them who. has any real comprehension of Ibsen's greatness
 or knows enough about the stage to
 be able to explain why his plays do not succeed. Miss Shaw is altogether too
 true and sincere an artist to be allowed
 to, vast her time on such worthless
 part as that of the mother in. Ghosts" i"
 or to identify herself with school of
 drama which can never take permanent
 root in this country. She probably re-
 gards her part as a good one, because it is long one, time, but it does not
 afford her an oportunity to do anything
 except suffer, and no actress will ever
 advance herself ill the estimation of American playgoers except in char
 acters that actually accomplish some-
 thing.-James' L. Ford, in "Everybody's
 Magazine"

Elm mee's Remains Uncarthed.

Dublin, Aug. 6.--At the instigation of Dr. Robert Enlmet, of New York, an examination was made yesterday of the grave supposed to be that of the patriot Emmet. A skeleton was found said to be that of man six feet high, whereas Bmmet was only five feet seven inches. A curious circumstance in connection with the examination was that the skull, instead of being found lying prone and attached to the trunk, was in an upright position, which, as Emmet was beheaded, may strengthen the the
 ory that the remains were his But the matter is still regarded as doubtful.
