There is a slight difference be¬

The president spells it “Puerto

Democratic workmen are said to
get consolation out of the fact that
while the republicans have the

have the biggest families, and will
soon be in the majority.
British and Boer officers are
both making complaint against

The dog law is now the subject

Elite society in Germany uses

Since the war, Spain is said to

our country is blessed. I f it can
be established that this a result of
the conflict, it will not bo sur¬

be engaged in between nations
purely as a business enterprise.
Affairs in Kentucky have as¬
sumed a somewhat more peaceable
aspect during the past two or three
days, democratic and republican
leaders having agreed on terms of
a settlement The republican
governor, however, continues to
retard the progress toward settle¬
ment by his obstinacy.
Teddy Roosevelt did not get

No man lias ever shown himself
more unworthy J of the confidence
and sympathy . of . the , public , than
has Gov. Taylor, cf Kentucky, in
the broil which is just now about
to be brought to a peaceable
tlement. tlenient To lo use n<t« a n comm.m comm m slantr siaug
expression lie has Simply “dropped
his candv ”
1 liat •j lie BBS probably elected ,
need not be denied. The election
board, composed of a majority
politically opposed to him, had
. him certificate , of * election, , .•
g.veu a
in contesting which Mr. Goebel
was doing no moj;e than he had a
right to do. It was a matter that
could properly be carried before
the legislature for adjustment, and
no action on Taylor’s part to pre¬
vent lilt legislature from investi¬
gating it was excusable, While it
cannot be charged that it was at his
instigation that the armed body of
mountaineers swarmed the capitol
city at the time the legislature was
engaged in the investigation, they
were there without his objection
so far as has been made public.
That they were there for the pur¬
pose ol intimidating bhe demo¬
cratic legislature from
as it might select to do, was open¬
ly announced. Whether the action
about to be taken in the installa¬
tion of Goebel as governor, was
just, is not the point; it was legal
—the legislature had the right to
do it; and it was a small thing
for the governor of a great state to
undertake to hold himself in office
by military power, ignoring every
legal civil proceeding in his efforts
to do so.
He made a palpable and infa¬
mous effort to prevent the inves¬
tigation of the crime by which his
opponent was assassinated. It
is admitted that the fatal shot was
fired from the building of which
Gov. Taylor was uot only in
charge, but in which he had his
political headquarters. When the
police officers of Ken tuck’s capitol
made an effort to enter and search
the building from which the mur¬
derous assault came, the military
forces under Taylor's command
stood in their way and threatened
to shoot them if they persisted in
an effort to perform their plain
duty. He has thus placed himself
in the attitude of harboring a
creature who liad deliberately
planned the assassination of a cit¬
izen and the alleged rightful gov¬
ernor of Kentucky.
Then by an unprecedented exer¬
cise of his arbitrary executive
will he has adjourned , the , Iegi . . , la-
3
ture for „ week , and , ordered , , it . to
u
meet in the very hot bed of his
most irate, unprincipled and un¬
scrupulous political tools.
The best legal opinion of his
owu state, even cf his own parti
sans, condemns and disgraces him.
Many of those who honestly be¬
lieve that he was elected governor
of Kentucky have by his own acts
been driven to the conclusion that
he is utterly unfit to perform the
functions of that high office.
The legislative power, the high¬
est form and source of the expres¬
sion of the popular will ot Ken¬
tucky, has been assaulted by Tay¬
lor and the law has by him been
defied as boldly as he should have
upheld it had he been an honest
man.
We do not presume to prognos¬
ticate what the outcome of this
complication in Ken
J-ucky itation will in saying be, but that we have Taylor no hes¬ has
proved himself utterly unworthy
of the office in which he is now
held by bayonet power.

“Every day right here in Atlanta
yirtue is deliberately offered upon the
altar of dire necessity. More than 40
per cent of the inmates of the houses
prostitution here, by the best >ta
tisties, are there today from this cause,
„ „ a „ 30ei>1 r0 „ diti0 „ lr ,
coming to. A through passport to
hell is better in the hands of many a
girl today than stenographers .
a
diploma. All honor to the girl who
passes through unsoiled; but how
many J succumb, God only knows.”
Now, while such an insinuation
doming from a public man of any
Other profession would very prop
erly be resented ..too stroug, it
is highly entertaining when it
emanates from the pulpit, 1 1 and will
insure a bigger crowd next Sunday,
Thoi I hat U it fonJo tends to injure the char
acter of numbers of virtuous lady
stenographers, makes no differ¬
ence—people at church mast be
entertained . , and , induced . , , to come
agaiii and bring their friends.
That is why the Doctor preaches
as , he does, , and , not . that ,, . , he expects ,
such talk to cause one sinner to
pjtuse in his way. 1
But the business men of Atlanta
do not appreciate such charges,
and the interviews published in .
the papers 1 * term them “an ’ outrage ®
upon civilization,” “full of con¬ j
temptible insinuations,” etc., and
the reporter states that “in almost
every instance the interviews had
to be toned down to parliamen¬
tary language” before they were
published, One reason for so
much discussion is the fact that
the insinuation hurts tin em¬
ployer as well as the stenographer,
and this the business men resent.
One of those interviewed who
take 3 issue with Dr. Broughton, is
Dr. Ilolderby, another minister of
the city, who says: “Dr. Brough¬
ton’s statement was too broad. I
have been here ten years and have
watched the girls of Atlanta very
closely. T have never seen any¬
thing to lead me to believe that at
least a large majority of them are
not working hard to make an
honest living. The business men
that T know, and I know r nearly
all of them, are not men who
would take advantage of a work¬
ing girl. Such a statement as was
made by Dr. Broughtou is apt to
damage the reputation of these
girls as a class, and is unfair. I
am sorrv he made it.”
