KENTUCKY ROW
IN HIGH COURT
Supreme Tribunal of (lie Land
Will Settle the Contest.
DATE FOR HEARING IS SET.
Attorneys File Documents Mak
ing the Situation Plain and
Ask For Early Decision.
A Washington special says: Tht
cases involving the Kentucky gov
ernorship were docketed iu the United
States supremo court Monday. A
brief statement in which conusel for
both Taylor and Beckham joined was
hied at the same time, askiug for an
early hearing.
The court advanced the case to be
heard on the 30th instant, and allotted
each side four hours foi arguments.
The agreed statement sots out that
both Taylor and Beckham, as gover
nors, John Marshall as lieutenant gov
ernor on the Republican side, and L.
11. Carter as president pro tem. of the
senate, and John B. Castleman as ad
jutant general on tho Democratic side,
are each and all claiming tho right to
and are actually attempting to exer
cise the powers of tho respective offi
ces severally claimed by them, thus
producing great confusion in Ken
tucky by reason of tho doubts as to
which of the peraons named has the
lawful right to exercise tho authority
pertaining to the several offices named,
all to the grent injury and detriment
of the people of the state. The agreed
statement then continues as follows:
“Thus, under the constitution and
laws of Kentucky, the governor of the
state, in addition to being charged
generally with the duty of seeing that
the laws are faithfully executed, is also
specially charged with the duty and
invested with the power of filling many
important offices iu tho state by ap
pointment, some by origiual appoint
ment and others by appointment to fill
vacancies, and also with the power to
issue commissions to many officers,
whether appointed by him or elected
by the people, and also with the power
to issue pardons aud to remit fiDes and
forfeitures.
“Both plaintiff in error, William S.
Taylor, and defendant in error, J. C.
Beckham, are claiming tho right to
perform all functions of the aforesaid
office of governor, and each of them is
attempting and has actually attempted
to perform many of the said functions,
such, for example, as issuing pardons
and tilling offices by appointment,etc.,
“Some of the officers of the state
recognize the acts of the plaintiff
in error, William S. Taylor, as
the lawful acts of the governor of
the state, aud refuse to recog
nize similar acts by defendant in
error, J. O. W. Beckham; while other
officers of the state recognize the acts
J. C. W. Beckham as the lawful acts
of the governor of tho state and refuse
to recoznize the acts of William S.
Taylor as such governor.
“Among other officers whom the
governor is authorized nnd required
to appoint are tho officers of the
eleemosynary institutions of the state,
and each of the said two claimants to
the office of governor has attempted to
till said offices aud some persons rec
ognize the authority of the appoin'ees
of one of said claimants to the offices
and refuse to recognize those of the
others, and vice versa. By reason of
all these facts aud others which might
bo euumeiated, it is of the utmost im
portance to the people of tho state of
Kentucky that the question of tie
right to office iuvolved iu the aforesaid
litigation be determined. The ques
tions of law iuvolved iu said causes
are of very great aud grave interest
and importance, involving the nature
and extent of the powers of au election
coutest tribunal and tho powers of the
judiciary with relation thereto.”
Mr. Louis McQuown appears as
attorney for Beckham and other of
the Democrats, while Holm Bruce
appears as attorney for Taylor and
other Republicans.

HOAR CHAMPIONS FILIPINOS.
Senator Praises Aguinaldo and
Makes an Impassioned Speech
Against Imperialism.
For more than three hours Tuesday
Mr. Iftmr, the senior senator from
Massachusetts, cocupied the attention
of the senate with a speech in opposi
tion to the policy of “imperialism,”
upon which he maintained this gov
ernment had embarked. As prepared
the address was 50,000 words in
length, but Mr. Hoar omitted much of
it, owing to an incipient attack of the
grip from which he was suffering.
The speech was brilliantly written,
was illuminated with splendid rhetori
cal figures, and was lich with cita
tions from hiito-y. One of the notable
parts of the address was the eulogy of
Aguinaldo. Mr. Hoar did not liken
the insurgent leader to Washington, as
has been done heretofore, but to Kos
suth, Oom Paul, Joubert, Nathaniel
•Hale and other builders of the church
of liberty. In statecraft ho likened
Aguinaldo aud his associates in the
leadership of the Filipinos to the best
minds ever produced in the Asiatic
race, a race which handed down to ns
“the scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments, the poetry of David, the
eloquence of Isiali, the wisdom of Solo
mon and the profound philosophy of
Paul.”
One of the most effective parts of
his address was his fancied roll call of
same of the distinguished statesmen
of the United States on the question
of the retention of the Philippines.
He b-gan with George Washington
aud closed with William McKinley,
each in a sentence giving the reason
for his vote. Every vote was iu the
negative, except that of Aaron Burr,
who voted “yes” and explained:
“You are repeating my buccaneer
ing expedition down the Mississippi
I am to be vindicated at last.”
W T heu the name of William McKin
ley was called, he replied:
“There has been a cloud before my
vision for a moment, but I see clearly
now; I will go back to what I said two
years ago: Forcible annexation is
criminal aggression; governments de
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed, not of some of them,
bnt of all of them. I will stand with
the fathers of the republic. I will
stand with the founders of the Repub
lican party. No.”
The effect was dramatic. As Mr.
Hoar pronounced his peroration the
stillness iu the chamber was intense.
Applause swept over the galleries, but
it was hushed quickly by the president
pro tempore.
Mr. Hoar took as his text the Bever
idge resolution declaring the Philip
pines United States territory. He
cited the glory of the war with Spain,
the prosperity of the American people
at its close, eulogized President Mc-
Kinley’s course at that time, charac
terizing him ns the most beloved pres
ident who ever sat in the chair of
Washington. He begged the Repub
lican party not to recede from its
principles.
Mr. Hoar reviewed the rebellion
and made a vigorous defense of the
Filipinos. As to what he would do
with the Philippines, he said:
“Declare uow that we will not take
these islands to govern them against
their will.
“Reject a cession of sovereignty
which implies that sovereignty may be
bought and sold and delivered without
the consent of the poople.
“Require all foreign governments to
keep out of these islands.
“Offer the Filipinos our help in
maintaining order until they have a
reasonable opportunity to establish a
government of their own.
“Aid them by advice, if they desire
it, to set up a free aud independent
government.
“Invite all the great powers of Eu
rope to unite in an agreement that that
independence shall not be interfered
with.
“Declare that the United States will
enforce the same doctrine as applica
ble to the Philippines that we declared
as to Mexico and Hayti and the South
American republics.
“Theu, iu a not distaut future, leave
them to work out their own salvation,
as every natiou on earth, from the be
ginning of time, has wrought its own
salvation.”

a stockholder, is trying to bave the
North Carolina legislature pass a bill
to repeal the Blackwell Company’s

The Morbid Sense of Injury
.. •
By this “sense of Injury” Is meant
that vague sense which afflicts many
of us at times of being the object of
hostile feelings on the part of others.
No odubt we often are, for, in the
stress of necessary rivalry and conflict
upon which progress depends, we give
if A take injuries. But there remains
a large excess of this "injured” feel
ing which can not be so explained, or
which is disproportionate to its cause
or entirely gratuitous, and is thus
shifted into the field of morbid psy
chology. This only is here treated—
the morbid sense of injury.
It seems to find an easy entrance to
the mind from a mere feeling of being
111 used or stinted in sympathy to the
entertainment of serious grievances or
-persecutory ideas. In certain tempera
ments it is marked. On so-called
“blue” days we are constantly moved
to a “sense of injury” from fancied
aloofness of our friends. Madam Lofty
slights us, and our jaundiced Imagina
tion has it that she has heard some
thing detrimental and dislikes us. But
lo! to-day, when the liver is released,
madam smiles sweetly, and never
heard a thing.
So in suspicious people. They enter
tain a chronic state of mind, by which
the acts of others are given an invidi
ous construction. They antiedpate ill
will, carrying the chip on tine shoulder.
Of two constructions of a given situa
tion, they leap to the more offending.
An Eniiga’s Narrow Escape.
When Commodore Decatur, in 1815,
dictated to the dey of Algiers the terms
of a treaty with the United States,
Lieut. John Subrick was dispatched to
Washington with a copy for tho ap
proval of our Government. The brig
Epervier was detailed for his transpor
tation, and he was accompanied by
Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Neill
of the navy, who had married sisters
a few days before sailing with Com
modore Decatur for the Mediterranean,
and by Lieutenant Drury aud Lieuten
ant Yarnell, who had fought with
Perry in the battle of Lake Erie. Just
before the brig sailed Ensign Josiah
Tattnell, who was a w 7 ateh officer on
the Epervier, succeeded in Inducing an
officer on one of the other- ships to ex
change places with him, as he pre
ferred to remain with the fleet. A few
days later, as the Epervier passed out
of tho Straits of Gibraltar, she sig
naled “All well on board.” Since then
she has not been heard from. It is an
Interesting fact that Ensign Tattnell,
who escaped the fate of his comrades,
lived to command the ram Merrimac of
the confederate navy. Since the Eper
vier went down we bare lost a num
ber of vessels, but each of thorn can
be accounted for.—Chicago Record.

BOYCOTT REQUESTED
Haad of Striking Telegraphers
Seeks Outside Assistance.
AGENTS ASKED TO DIVERT TRAFFIC
Hallway Officials Still Insist That Busi
ness Is not Affected In the Slightest
Degree By the Strike.
An Atlanta dispatch says: President
Powell, of the Order of Railroad Tel
egraphers, who is conducting the tel
egrapher’s strike against the Southern
railway, has officially notified the tick
et and freight agents of all of the
other railroads iu the United States of
the existing strike on the Southern,
ni:d asked them to ronte passengers
and freight via other lines than the
Southern pending the present trouble.
He has also asked the American Fed
eration of Labor to boycott the South
ern until the existing troubles are set
tled,
Mr. Powell declares that his request
to the Federation of Labor to boycott
the road will put 800,000 workingmen
against it and that his request to the
ticket and freight agents will prove
more effective than the telegraphers’
strike.
President Powell has also stationed
“scouts” at a number of the principal
points on the Southern system to keep
him informed as to the progress of
events; to hearten and encourage the
strikers aud to enlist the sympathy
aud good will of the citizens at the
various points at which these “scouts”
are stationed.
The telegraphers say that the law
forbidding the movement of frieght
trains in Georgia between midnight
Saturday aud midnight Sunday will
prove of material benefit to them.
From a local standpoint the boycott
declared by President Powell was the
only development in the strike situa
tion.
Southern railway officials say that
the business of the road is not affected
iu the slightest degree, and that they
have no personal knowledge of the ex
istence of a strike save the reports in
the daily papers. They say that so
far as the road is concerned the strike
is over and they are as busy as can be
carrying passengers and freight.
At Assistant Geueral Superintendent
Thompson’s office it was said that nu
merous applications were being re
ceived daily for positions as operators
and agents from competent, expe
rienced men.
None of the Southern officials ap
pear disturbed or alarmed over the
situation. They declare that not only
all passenger trains, but all freight
trains are running on their usual
schedules aud ou time.
THEY WELCOME DEWEY.
Democratic Trees Bulletin lesues a Greet
ing; to tlie Admiral.
A Chicago dispatch says: Bryan
Democrats have decided to welcome
Admiral Dewey into the Domooratic
party. Such is the position officially
outlined in Saturday’s issue of the
Democratic press bulletin.
“We may accept the admiral’s dec
laration of his political faith as indi
cating that he is with the Democratic
party at least on an overwhelming ma
jority of the issues it has taken up,”
runs the article, which is written by
Willis J. Abbott, head of the Demo
cratic literary bureau. “This is a
most gratifying fact,” the article con
tinues. “It indicates that should the
Democratic party, after mature delib
eration, deny the admiral the nomina
tion which lie seeks, it may, neverthe
less, count ou his co-operation and his
influence in behalf of its efforts to end
the evils of MeKinleyism by ending
the reign of Emperor William I,”
In commenting upon the purport of
his article, Mr. Abbott says:
“We are naturally delighted at the
prospect of such a distinguished ac
quisition to our ranks as Admiral
Dewey, but of course we expect the
admiral to ‘play fair’ and to accept the
good old Democratic doctrines.”
Americans Kept Busy.
Reports of encounters between the
American troops and the insurgents
continue to be received at Manila from
