another mistake, Even IL it were
true that all colored voters were igno-
rant and depraved, which they are
not, have the Democrats, in their pro-
posed new law, taken any steps to dis
franchise the illiterate and depraved
white men who vote the Democratic
ticket? They have not, and the fact
that they have not shows clearly their
purpose in wanting such law.
1t should be understood that the Re
publicans have no objection to an edu.
cstionsl qualification which will affect
one and all alike, the rich and poor,
white and black, and good and bad.
We believe that the passage of any
other kind of law will not meet with
the approval of the people of Ken
lucky.

The city needs money and if any
thing is due 1t from McOracken coun-
ty on smallpox claims, suit should be
filed at once to collect it, Claims
against the county have been filed
with fiscal court numb Der of times in
recent years, and were either rejected,
or referred and never heard of again.
1t is plain the county does not intend
TO pay any of the smallpox expenses
unless it has to, and the quickest and
suJest way to ascertain whether or not
it has to pay them is to file suit and
let the courts decide. Fiscal court
does not meet until April, and If the
city wants until then to formally pre-
sent its claims again. it will probably
be only to have them again rejected,
and thus lose great deal of time.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MAYORS.

The mayor of every city In the
country should take warning from the
trouble of the mayor of Chicago. Al
ter he had been warned of conditions
that prevailed contrary to law he failed
to act and 600 people lost their lives
Indirectly because of his indifference
and negligence.
While theater managers and Others
may be to blame for attractions of
laws and rules, and for the deplorable
fact that the people could not get out
of the burning building, the mayor of
Chicago and his inspectors are respon-
sible for the fsct that they were ever
allowed to get in. They created the
opportunity for the theater men 20 vi.
olate the law, and allowed them to DO
it.
The coroner's jury thus refers to
Mayor Harrison:
I'VE hold Carter II. Harrison, as
mayor Of the city of Chicago, respon-
sible, as he has shown a lsmentable
lack of force, and for his efforts to es-
cape responsibility, evidenced by the
testimony OF Commissioner Williams
aud Fire Marshal Musham. As heads
of departments under the said Carter
II. Harrison, following this weak
course, have given Chicago inefficient
service, which makes such calsmities
as the Iroquois theater horror = men
ace until the public service lie purged
of incompetents.
Building Commissioner williams
was held for gross neglect of his duty
in allowing the theaier to open its
doors to the public when the said the
alter was incomplete, and did not com
ply with the building ordinances of
the city of Chicago"
This coroner's verdict reveals plain
ly another thing, the constant danger
TO every citizen whose life, property
and welfare are in the hands Of incom-
petent men appointed to public Office
solely for political work or through
political pull. Every city has more
or less of them, and mayors are to
blame for this, also.

THE CRIME OF BASEBALL
louisville Herald.

Louisville Herald.
This man Jones in the legislature is
awake ana trimming his lamp like a
wise virgin, for the hour Of darkness
is at hand. Mr.. Jones' bill purposes
to prohibit the playing Of baseball on
Sunday. 1t ought really to be pro
hibited every day in the week. For
baseball is plainly an immoral sport,
leading our youth astrsy. taxing quar-
tiers out of the pockets Of the poor who
could otherwise play them against slot
machines and get much richer or poor.
err as the case might be.
II slot machines and pool rooms are
to be permitted to run without objec7
ton ball games will detract largely
from their profits during'long summer
afternoons. Thousands Of misgu ided
men, women and children can bs found
every day with their lungs wide open
to fresh air, their eyes peeled to skill
full plays and their tongues on trigger
to roast an unspeakable umpire, when
they might be standing around slot
machines or watching the start" and
finish" chalked up at pool rooms,
helping to keep the poor police corner
in this town in pocket money.
But why does Jones propose to make
the sin Of ball playing on Sunday
merely mjsdemeanor? A man like
Jones ought to feel in the remotest
convolutions Of his vitals that baseball
is at the very least felony, and con-
tended by some to be a capital crime.
If the slot machine business is to be
properly protected, we urge upon Jones
to reconsider the frivolity Of bis great
anti baseball measure and make the
punishment life imprisonment at the
smallest. Then, indeed, will the
even justice of our laws be trium-
phantly vindicated and Jones' harp
and crown be safe against all envy and
jealousy.
If there be an honest umpire in the
general assembly, we demand that he
call Jones out on a foul.

ANOTHER MISTAKE.

The grandfather clause" bill is an
other of those periodic attempts OF
Kentucky Democratic politicians to
gain absolute and perpetual control Of
the state so they will be able to raid
the treasury in the future as they have
done in the past. 1t seems that the
ring-leaders in the legislature are those
grafters who have an eye to future
aggrandizement or gain, and whose
success depends on Democratic supre.
macy in Kentucky. Others who ap-
pear to be in favor of it are those in
sipid men sent to the Legislature for
some reason, certainly not because of
ability however, who allow them
selves to be persuaded into voting for
this or that measure because it is
Democratic and because they are told
by the demagogues that democrats in
other states have done it.
We see no occasion for Kentucky
Democrats making any mistake in the
matter. There Is no necessity for such
law in Kentucky, as is pointed out
even by some democ ratio papers, how
ever expedient such legislation may be
regarded in other states.
1t would be we'll fer Democrats to
review the political history of Ken
lucky for the past several years. A
few years ago the Democrats, alarmed
by political revolution which gave
Kentucky to the Republicans. decided
to make Kentucky permanently and
everlastiDgly Democratic by an unfair
election law. Unuer it Republicans
were allowed to vote. but their vote
could then be-and in many cases
subsequently were-thrown out. I'm
der this new law now before the legis-
lature it is hoped to keep many Repub-
licans from voting at all
In the other case an able senator led
astray enough other members of the
Legislature to pass the hill In the
strife and bitterness that followed, and
before he became the beneficiary of
his iniquitous law, his plans were up
set and he was foully assassinated. |
The people are familiar with all those
details Kentucky mas not yet re-
covered from the disgrace of those
trou5lous times.
The Democrats themselves soon real
lied their mistake, and in a way rec
titled it by amending the offensive
election law, but stilI left Kentucky
W it'll partisan measure.
Is there any excnse for now making

If the Democrats were discriminat
ing they could easily see the difference
between a man like Mr.. Cleveland and
one like Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan, realiz-
ing the superiority of Mr.. Cleveland,
never misses an opportunity to abuse
him, but Mr.. Cleveland never deigns to
notice Mr.. Bryan. When asfed what

piled, II have not a word to say on

lack of taste in Democrats is made up
by the people in general, however, who
