Committee Of Z to voc it was rejected with
. votes against 4 the discussions were re-
sumed.
Grown member (OLsem) aaid, when he
saw the remarks from the Municipal Com
mlttee about the Horse Tax, he was at first
inclined to think that it was meant as a com
plant against the authorities concerning the
collecting of the taxes, but today he heard
the remark from His Excellency that he
would direct the Policemesters to be more
vlgilant he as a Policemaster must
say that in Frederiksted he was al
ways very particular in C Erecting the
tax lists and getting such where they we're
not in if there be anything wanting. and
causing some taxable objects to escape the
tax, the cause must lie elsewhere than with
The Police, and he would, as far as he is con.
cerned, make a reservation. With reference
to the Committees remarks about captains
OF boats being allowed to sell articles, for
instance salt, from their boats, after they
ha7e been about town to find purchasers,
ne would merely say, that the law allows
captains of foreign boats to sell their cargo
from the boat in any quantity, and when
walking i'll town, such people can offer their
goods to purchasers and engage to deliver
from the boat; if this is to be stopped, it
would require an Ordinance. AS REGARDS
the Committees remarks under the Prison
Department, he would gay, that perhaps it is
not generally known that the maintenance
Of prisoners costs about SC. pr. day if cul-
prlts are not sent to Denmark to serve out
their penalty, the Prison Department can
not be said to have great expense for them
when here, but we get their services in
many ways; and it is not 50 as he honoura-

This time she heard the landlords

"What does that mean?" she inquir-

"Oh. that fellow is n tough, and

The German came in shortly TO light

increased. She half listened 10 the sto-
ries with which Strive tried TO enter

meal that was shortly served TO them.

girl. and II at this late hour she could
have withdrawn she would have done
so gladly and gone forth TO meet the

gone too far for retreat. and, realizing
that for the present apparent compli-
ance was her wisest resource, she sat
quiet. answering the man with cool
words while his eyes grew brighter,
his skin more flushed, his speech more
rapid. He talked necessarily and with
feverish gayety. smoking numberless
cigarettes and apparently unconscious

Democracy left at Frankfort on trial
for the whole party has done nothing
Tor nearly 60 days but play at politics,
and il has been disgracefully Wrapped
al that. Meanwhile a state of anarchy
is prevailing in district comprising
nearly one-third of Kentucky, and the
executive has twice called on the leg
stature TO strengthen his hand, and
they do no heed. With this record
being made at the capital for the
party, the organs today are hurting
anathema at the legislators for doing
the only decent thing they've done
since they convened, except to provide
an extra stenographer for the execu-
tive department.
Nemesis is on the heels of Kentucky
Democracy. Humiliation has been
her portion since she started on her
disgraceful career with the Infamous
music hall convention, and yet today
the cry goes up from the party press
for regularity. 1t is regularity that
has ruined the organization. Had the
party not stood by the legislature
when 1t stole the election eight years
ago, 1t would not have found itself
for eight years leagued with murder
ers and incendiaries. 1t would not
have embarrassed the national Demo-
cratic leader by dragging him through
the state with a mob of already re-
pudiated politicians. 1t might not
have seen its representatives split on
the liquor question.
There was a time, when we might
have said the hour has come for the
of Democracy in Ken
lucky; but that hour is past. Ma
tionally the party lacks cohesion and
The rottenness of the
greater has corrupted the less. There
is nothing in Democracy of Kentucky
but grossness and infidelity. 1t is
by leaders, who use 1t to
cloak their greed; it is supported by
men. who refuse to vote the ticket in
national elections. The leaders have
fallen upon each other. They can not
even longer be depended upon to cling
10 the name Of Democracy. Isn't II
time too, that the voters were dis
carding this old thing?

THE SENATOR-ELECT.

Scarcely daring to hope, when the
adverse majority in both houses OF
the legislature organized TO effectually
bar them from any voice in the pro-
ceedings. the Republican members OF
the general, assembly unanimously
united on the grand old man. OF
their party and voted for him con-
sistently throughout the session, until
the upheaval in the Democratic party
threw four votes into their camp. No
brides, no threats. no temptations
could induce than to desert their
leader, and tod Kentucky has a SEN
ator-elect, WHOSE career assures her OF
in the senate that will
be a credit and an honor to the COM
w. o. Bradley, a fighter
and strategist, perhaps the best pol
itician in the state, and wlthal a man
possessed of those qualities of mind
that place him in the ranks OF states
men, is a figure that would stand out
prominently in any community. II he
has enemies. they are the products or
his own aggressive personality, the
sort of antagonism that whets the
steel of a strong character. There
never was any question among Ken
lucky Republicans as to who deserved
the honor. This was no grab
at a passing opportunity with a
chance candidate. Hon. w. o. Brad
ley was deliberately chosen by the
party and as deliberately placed in
nomination and supported for United
States senator. Kentucky Republicans
are depending on Senator-elect Brad
lev to prove the efficiency of the party
in the state. with the utmost conf
dence in his tact, magnanimity and
judgment.

A CORRUPT PARTY.

For a body so violently partisan
that the lieutenant governor was
shorn of his accustomed prerogatives
in order that they might have full
control of the legislative machinery to
protect them in any larcenous enter
prise, the Democratic state legislature
did the handsome thing in electing
Republican United States senator. II
was magnanimous, but not more than
justice; because, had ii not been for
an iniquituous gerrymander the leg
islature would have been safely Re.
publican in both branches.
But we would keep ever in the pub.
lie mind the fact that this is a Demo-
cratic legislature.
Respecting other peoples lives,
other peoples property. other peoples
rights and other peoples votes, are
things we have to learn somehow, If
the knowledge has to be pounded in
through the top of ones head, shot
into II, or jerked with a rope. The
heretofore dominant political infiu-
ence in Kentucky is learning in var
ious ways. Yet, the Republican
party has never even been accused OF
doing more than taking advantage of
fortuitious political circumstances, ex.
cept in the Goebel case, and that has
developed into persecution so vindc.
tive, as to excite the horror of the
Christian world.
The Democrats of Ke-tucky have
been trihe too partisan. A nomina
ton, We fear, has been a too certain
equivalent of election IN McCracken
county the representative, who sup
ported Beckham for United States
senator, voted against the county unit
bill. If a comparison of the vote for
George o. McBrocm, who came out
squarely for the county unit, and of
Eugene Graves, VINO came out as
plainly, though not as openly againgt
the measure, is any criterion, tie
county wouldn't nave gone dry under
the county unit anyway. But, If
some good Democrats thought the
election of a Democratic United States
senator more impo ,tant than the coun-
ty unit, they are doubly aggrieved,
for they got neither
