This should show whether or not
the question of working prisoners for
fines figures in these peonage cases.
If the Louisville papers know what
they are talking about, and they GER
tainly should. the question of forcing
prisoners to work out fines is just
as much involved In the peonage in

VIVA vocE yorANo.

The attention of the Philadelphia
Inquirer has been called to the fact
chat the Kentucky legislature has
provided for vote to be taken the
approaching November on returning
to the obsolete viva voce system of
voting. The Inquirer comments as
follows:
II will probably be a surprise to
most persons to know that such a
system existed In Kentucky from the
beginning of her statehood up to
1891. The man who went to the polls
was furnished with ballot simply
that he might read II of to the cleo
ton clerks. who kept a tally sheet
and returned the vote accordingly.
In purely millennlal situation
this is ideal. Every man ought to
have his views and to be untram-
meled so that he can voice his senti-
nents without the slightest fear. II
proved to be the case that in Ken
tucky there we're generally men
around the polls who kept watch of
what was going on and "by force of
arms" frequently compelled the vot-
er to vary from his personal senti-
rents. IL was urged In favor of IT'S
system that "the man who was
bought was sure to stay bought" but
we hardly look upon this as valid
argument. What happened was that
in many of the polling places armed
men stood on guard and there were
frequent cases of oppression and
murder. Indeed, In the years just af-
ter the war an election m Kentucky
was sure to mean the loss of many
lives.
We can hardly assume that the sit
nation will revert to this, but the
Democrats of Kentucky are earnesi
in their fight because they feel that
alone by such methods can they hope
to maintain their hold on the state
Soon after the passage of the secret
ballot a Republican governor was
elected and served his term. The
state cast its vote for Mckinley and
then elected another Republican
governor, who was kept out of his
seat by the infamous Goebel law. We
doubt II modern civilization will per-
init a return to the old conditions in
Kentucky. The viva yoce ballot is
urged simply in the interests of De-
mocracy, and il 1t Is adopted Ken
lucky ought to be painted black on
the map.
When we remember that Kentucky
Is the home of the Clays, the Brock
lnridges, the Crittendens and other
great men. 1t is pitiful to note how
she has fallen from her high estate
There are those who think that the
present Australian ballot is cumber-
some and needs amending, but as
every state in the union now has a
tecret ballot. 1t Is not likely thar
r entucky will return to barbaric
practices by preventing the exercise
of the will of the people at the ballot
box. In time we hope that the vote
IN Kentucky will be counted as cast
and the elected officers seated.

A more refreshing bit of "unmit-
igated gall than the act OF man in
filing a claim against the railroad
here for a COW killed on trestle
near the city. would be hard to find.
The mans COW got away from him.
and while II may not have been his
fault, neither was II that OF the rail-
road company. The COW strayed out
on a trestle and was killed by a
freight train. Had she been hit by a
passenger train the whole train with
its load of unsuspecting humanity
might have been dumped over into
the creek. Fortunately there was nc
worse disaster than the death of the
cow--and now the owner of the COW
comes In with claim against the
railroad of $50 for. the COW. when
the animal not only tried to perform
the unprecedented bovine feat of
walking a trestle she had no bust
ness on, but In addition might have
