Gov. Wilson has greatly injured
his reputation for sincerity in the
enforcement of law by pardoning
the gang Of men indicted for con
spring to murder one Of his prede-
cessors in the Office of Governor,
Kentucky has been disgraced and
Inundated by such murders as that
of Hiram Hedges in Carlisle and Tom
Weaver in Trigg county, but these
were local crimes that dwindle into
insignifcance when compared with
the murder of the Governor Of the
State. by sharpshooter concealed in
the office of one of the convicted
men turned loose upon society by a
partisan Governor. OF the eight
men pardoned, six had never been
tried and half of them were fugi-
tives from justice. In a state where
the laws have been trampled upon
and justice has been defeated by
cheap men in charge of many of the
courts, who have deliberately pro-
tected criminals, the people had
come TO think that they had in the
Governors chair a man wEo was
real defender of Kentucky's good
name, a Kentuckian who could rise
above the dirty slime Of politics and
be Governor of the whole people
and protector of Kentucky's honor
and reputation. By using his au-
thority to invite the return of Tay
lor and his fellow-fugitives, after
stating in his campaign speeches that
they would come back for trial when
assured Of a fair trial, he has put
himself in the attitude of shielding
them from further prosecution, not
from patriotic motives but as a par
tisan measure. Gov. Wilson must
know that he received the votes of
many law and order Democrats who
believed that he would stand for law
and order in dealing with Republi-
can assassins as well as with Demo.
cratic marauders. He must now
know that these men, driven out of
their own party by the Incompetent
cy of officials who would not enforce
the laws, are overwhelmed with dis
gust and disappointn ent that the
Governor elected by their votes has
blocked the courts and protected
from prosecution an alleged band of
conspirators who were charged with
the commission of one of the great
est crimes of the age.
After all, the Republican patriot
when put to the test is merely a |
cheap politician.
The worst feature of the Govern
IRIS latest blunder is that it will fur
lish the night riders with an excuse
for their own contempt for the law

Willsen Hanged in Effigy
AS a protest against the pardoning
OF Taylor. Finley and the other men
indicted for the murder of Gov.
Goebel, Gov. Wilson was hanged in
effigy from a bridge in Frankfort
Friday night. A report that the
Executive Mansion was being guard
ed was denied by the Governor. Jno.
l.. Powers, one of the pardoned men,
has found it necessary to live at
Kitanning, Pa, under the alias Of
John w. Christie, although he mar
ried in Canada under his own name,
and Zach Steele, is in Charleston, W,
Va, where he is known as Charles
F. Baker.
The Courier-Journal of Sunday
had this to say of the pardons:
The End of a Bloody Chapter.
The pardons issued by Governor
Wilson to all save the wretch, Yout-
sey, who have been indicted for COM
plicity in the murder of William
Goebel, might have been foreshad-
owed by the pardons issued to Pow
ers and Howard, and may therefore
provoke no surprise; but the act of
executive clemency in advance of
trial will meet the approval only Of
partisans incapable of conceiving I'M
palata5le truth, carrying with it the
tacit acceptance of the unknowing,
the unthinking and the Indifferent.
The case against w. S. Taylor, and
his immediate associates, seems to US
overwhelming and conclusive. WHO
actually discharged the weapon
which actually gave William Goebel
his death stroke has never been clear
ly established; but the mountain ar
my assembled at Frankfort that
made assassination readily possible
and apparently safe, the fatal shot
which was fired from a window of
Powers private Office in the Execu-
tive Building, the instant envelof-
ment of this building occupied by
Taylor and his friends by company
of their own troops held under arms
for emergency expected for that day
and hour, the refusal of Taylor and
his adherents to admit the Civil Off
GERS, or to afford them any assist
ance, the state of siege maintained
by them against intrusion for nearly
a week, the pardons issued by Tay-
lor to Powers and others, the flight |
of Taylor, Finley and the rest, point
and with index finger to
guilt. There is no escape from this
conclusion for any unprejudiced
mind.

MONTHLY REPORT OF RIO
GRANDE SHOWS INCREASE

The reports of the business of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad for the
month of March have been received
at the local offices, The report shows
an increase of $365,9S2 in gross earn
ings, and decrease of S20,753 in nci
earnings. An increase of $3s2,736 is
also shown in the operating expenses,
Of which 1892. 900 was composed Of ad
ditional maintenance charges. so the re-
port is not so bad, all things consid-
cred. In addition TO the increased
operating expenses. interest and other
fixed charges increased $4,000, so that
the surplus applicable to dividends was
reduced to the extent Of 5000 or
a little more than half of what il was
n year ago, despite the better gross
earnings.
