THE TAYLOR CASE IN CONGRESS.

n LOEA GASG CONN0E<6Ss
There was much force in the point
made by Mr. James of Kentucky on
Wednesday, in his speech in the House,
when he said that it was ridiculous
for the President to plead in his mes
sage to Congress for International ex-
tradition treaties when it was impos-
sible for one state to get from another
fugitives from justice. Mr.. James, of
course. had in mind the case of w. S.
Taylor, who was indicted in Kentucky
as an accessory to the murder of Gov.
Goebel, and is now in Indiana, from
which state Kentucky hasn't been able
to get him, the acquisitions of her Gov
ernor on the Governor of Indiana being
unhonored.
Mr.. Crumpacker of Indiana explain
ed that Taylor had been deprived of
the election as Governor of Kentucky
by fraud, and that a jury would be
packed to convict him if he were TAX
en- back to that state.
Mr.. Crumpacker's defense of In
diana's Governor was lame one
What right has Indiana's Governor to
set himself up as a judge as to wheth-
er or not there was fraud in the cleo
ton in Kentucky, and what ground
has he for assuming that Mr.. Taylor
wouldn't be given a fair trial if he
were to be taken back to the state in
which he was indicted? 1t isn't his
business to pass upon the fairness Of
Io& f,,.o
whether. Kentucky juries are packed
or not. His duty is to see to it that
the requisition papers are correct and
that there is good ground for thinking
the fugitive committed the crime for
which he was indicted.
Indiana made bad precedent in the
Taylor case. In the public mind there
isn't any doubt that the reason Indi-
ana's Governor refused to turn Taylor
over to the Kentucky authorities was
that Taylor was a Republican. If
Taylor had been a Democrat the
requisition for him would, no doubt,
have been honored without much de-
lay.
The action of the Indiana Governor
in the Taylor case will be an ex-
cuse for governors Of other states
to shield fugitives from justice of
their own party. 1t is a safe state
ment that it will gradually become a
common thing for governors of
states to refuse to honor acquisitions
Of governors of other states for fugi-
tives from justice where the fugitives
are prominent either socially or polit-
ically, or where there are partisan
ends to be served.

The Washington Post Qnd.), says

No one seems to understand what the
purpose of Mr.. Murphy the Tammany
leader. is in constantly. asserting that
the Democrats must nominate Mr..
Cleveland About all other Democratic
leaders seem to agree that the letter
which Mr.. Cleveland wrote recently to
the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, say
ing that he couldn't imagine any COM
bination of circumstances which would
induce him to accept the presidential
nomination of his party if it should be
offered to him. settled the question of
mis- candidacy. 1t may be that Mr..
Murphy is right in thinking that Mr..
Cleveland would get more electoral
votes than any other man the Demo-
Gratis could nominate, but if he has de-
termined not to be a candidate what is
the use of considering him as one?
In some of the Northern papers the
statement is being made that Mr.. Car
negie is chiefly responsible for bring
ing Mr.. Cleveland's name forward in
ination, and for keeping it prominently
before the public. That must be mis-
take. No doubt he would like to see
Mr.. Cleveland nominated because, like
other men of great wealth who are
largely interested in the industries of
the country, ne is afraid that Mr..
Roosevelt, if elected President. would
do something that would bring about
financial troubles.
AS matter of fact, however, Mr..
Carnegie is only one of many who
think Mr.. Cleveland would poll a
larger vote than any other Democrat
who could be nominated. Expressions
In favor of his nomination have APP
peared in the newspapers in all parts
of the country. The Morning News, for
instance, published not long ago poll
Of voters made in the town of Moul-
txie, Ca, to find out who
were the favorite presidential cam
didates in that town and sur
rounding country. The poll show
ed that Mr.. Cleveland and Sena-
tor German received the same number
of votes and that they were by far the
most popular candidates.
There is a suspicion that Mr.. Murphy
still hopes that he will be able to bring
about the nomination of Mayor Nc
Clellan. There doesn't seem to be
demand outside of New York for his
nomination. For some reason or other
MIR. Murphy doesn't take kindly to
Judge Parker. According to current
reports he doesn't look upon him as a
vote getter.

He says that Dave Hills a back num-

Oh, Henry, good Henry, pray tell us
Who is the proud leader for you?
He fails to warm up to Dave Francis,
From Tillman he turns in disgust;
1t doesn't appear that Joe Bailey
Is one whom he thinks he could
trust.
He hasn't gone wild for Mcclellan
He takes the young man as Joke,
And he doesn't appear to be eager
To nominate Graft-Smasher Folk.
He isn't hurrahing for Carter
Carter H, the son of his pa
Carlisle? Oh, Henry would leave him
To keep right on practicing law.
He isn't for Teller and neither
Is Morgan the man he would name;
The mere thought of Clark of Montana
Starts Henry to blushing for shame.
He has weighed them and found them
all wanting,
From Grover. the mighty one. down;
Each man that they mention he rid
dies
AS either a rogue or a clown;
He only, II seems, Is preserving
The faith that Is worth clinging to-
Oh, Henry, good Henry, pray tell US
Who Is the proud leader for you.

How He Managed to Win.

A story is told of a Kentucky noun
taineer who had never seen rail-
road train, says an Exchange. One
day he consented to go to town and
see the wonder. He arrived little
ahead of train time. and, getting inn
patient as he waited he walked up the
track to meet it. He met it as it round

taineer ran along the track as for his

TROUBLE FOn HAMA.

1t seems that the color line has been
drawn in Cleveland. o. On last
Friday the Tippecanoe Club az that
city gave a banquet in honor of the
memory of President Mckinley, and
invited the leading white Republicans.
In Cleveland there is quite large
number of prominent negro Repub-
licans and they are threatening to
make trouble for the white Repub-
lican leaders because of the discrimina-
ton against them. Senator Hanna is a
ruling factor in the club and the ne
groes cannot understand, therefore,
why there was discrimination against
them. Perhaps if the senator had been
in good health the negro politicians
complaining.
In speaking of the matter one of the
prominent negro politicians is quoted
as saying; THE Tippecanoe club
doesn't want any colored members. 1t
has drawn the color line and that is
example. 1 claim that Mckinley was
a personal friend of mine. At the time
he was notified of his nomination /
was on the notification committee, anc
was then good enough to eat at the
same table with the President
If the Republican leaders in Ohio are
so ready to draw the color line why
is it that the Republicans of that state
are so ready to favor legislation that
is calculated to give the negro in the
South such prominence and position
as to encourage him in expecting some
sort of social recognition? Is it not a
fact that the race prejudice is more
pronounced in Ohio and other North
ern state than in the South? The
Northern people, however, insist upon
greater privileges for the negro in the
South than they are willing to ac-
cord to him in the North. In Ohio the
negro vote is depended upon by the
Republicans to give them the state and
they always get it, and yet 1t seems
that 1t is seldom a negro gets an office
of Importance in Ohio, and, as clearly
Indicated by a Cleveland dispatch, they
drew the color line against him in their
political clubs in social matters.
1t is a safe assertion that the white
Republicans of Ohio wouldn't hesitate
to take the ballot from the negro if
they felt they could afford to do so.
There are years, however, when they
are dependent upon him for votes to
carry the state. AS long as he is neces-
sary to them they will not disfran-
chise him, but they will continue to
complain of the South's treatment of
him and to favor legislation intended
to increase his Importance in the
South.

Secretary of the Navy John d.
Long has written book, 1.-THE New

specifically with the development of
the navy during his administration of
the office of secretary. For a part of his

sistant secretary. 1t will be recalled
that some time ago Mr.. Long wrote in
a magazine article how his assistant
had proposed to sink a Spanish fleet

The Burleson bill, now before the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House, which provides a tax of one
mill per bale on all cotton ginned, and
seeks to compel ginners to make
prompt and accurate reports to the
government under penalty of being
brought before the United States court
and fined, is, to put 1t mildly, an out
rageous proposition. 1t Is nobody's
right to know how many bales of cot
ton are ginned. If a proposition were
made to compel every farmer or har-
vester in the North and West to re-
port the number OF bushels of wheat
threshed or Of corn shelled, the North
ern and Western congressman who sup
ported the measure would not go to
Congress again: Wheat has gone up to
81 a bushel, due. doubtless, to specula-
ton, and there is no cutlery against
that price; but the advance in the price
of cotton seems to have made the
Northern and Western people imagine
that II IS another Southern Outrage
because II doesn't put money into their
purses.
