Do you intend to debauch your high offices by electing to the national legislature D. M.

So Colonel Bryan that he was in danger of perforation with leaden bullets if he made speeches there. When this dire news was enlarged a Kentucky Democratic member of Congress expiained that the people of his State were peculiar, and in the enthusiasm of the moment were apt to applaud or admonish a speaker with a gun. - The first day’s speaking witnessed the fainting away, on the platiorm, of four Democratic speakers, .and many others were tao full for utter- ance. But with all the sulphurous preparations the campaign passed without ‘a single murder.. Colonel Bryan waited till the first frost had blackened the pawpaws and soitened the persimmons and then re- sorted to the dark and bloody ground and calmed to slumber sweet the angry passions of the people. Except for the wild shooting done by Colonel Col- son at Frankfort it seemed as if the whole process of electing a Republican Governor, counting him out, and then counting him in, inaugurating him and then illegally taking the office from him, would pass without vindicating the State’s reptitation for decid- | ing such great questions by bloodshed. It goes without saying that to miss such an opportunity for a gun fight was felt to be a reflection upon the well- carned reputation of the State.. Having sent Car- lisle into exile and re-elected Blackburn to the Sen- | ate, and rotten-egged Simon Bolivar Buckner, Ken- | tucky needed something to take its own dark red taste out of its mouth. The attack on Goebel seems to be the first gun, f It is a queer mixture. A few years ago Goebel killed- another man, it was believed, unfairly. The victim was a bosom friend of Blackburn, and the Sen- | ator appeared immediately bareheaded and in the | presence of high Heaven took an awful oath that he | would thenceforth exist for the ~sole purpose of avenging on Goebel the murder of lis friend. . That ! friend has stayed murdered ever since, but Black- | burn and Goebel ran together' last summer, spoke | from the same platform, drank from the same flask | and were the Castor and Pollnx of the Bryan:-army. Recently. still more tender relation was hinted in | the: expectation that: Goebel “was about ‘to. become | Blackburn's son-in-liw. It: all. reads :like the" ad- ['ventures of the Cid Campeador. _1f the. blood of |‘Blackburn's - slaughtered -friend is “still crying ‘from | the gronnd it is dbont as tired gore as‘ever vocalized |is-not ‘even a vicirious redemption | burn's oath. : f Seriously, Kentucky is old:enough. and big enough ito knowv better than keep up. this everlasting swagger of “‘Joe "Black- ‘tand swashbuckling. .

There are other troubles than ours and other cities are in tor- ;menn Chicago is feeling the irritation of a Mayor i who has recently made a declaration which virtually Eamounts to an assertion that he is the government, ! that the Aldermen need not think, that the heads of departments need not think, that the people need not think, that the Mayor will do all the thinking and f(hc rest of the community may saw wood and say | nothing. Philadelphia is trying to reconcile two re- | form parties into a sweet harmony which will en- | able them to reform the city by first reforming them- |'selves, and New York is harried by anxious ithoughts of possible combinations of the Republican | machine with the Democratic machine for the grind- |ing of grist that will go into the sacks of politicians {only. Those, however, are common troubles, not -‘“flely different from those that beset ourselves, but | there are two cities whose pains are of a diverse na- | ture and of a keener pang, and to them in their suf- ;(ering some attention should be given. | First of the two is Boston. In that center of in- | tellectual life and blue stockings the ~unmarried women are at war against the married women. The causé of the strife is that the spinsters have banded themselves together into a society calling itself “The Association for the Preservation of the Rights of Unmarried Women.” The particular right they are | seeking to preserve just now is that of earning wages, and to accomplish it they propose that no married woman shall be employed as a wage-earner in Boston so long as any unmarried woman remains without employment. Tt is a battle between women, but every man who employs fabor is involved in it, and for the time being life in Boston is not widely different from existence in Hades. The second city of dreadful night is Baltimore. A x:hatfle rages there among the milkmen. There are { four parties to the fight—the milk producers, the milk sellers; the Board of Health and the milk trust. Up | most are the milk consumers. The trust is trying to tcrush the sellers, the producers are trying to crush | the trust, and the Board of Health by its rigid con- demnation of all milk in sight seems desirous of crushing the producer. For a time there was no milk in" Baltimore, and from all- parts of the city rose a 1 clangor: of “empty ' milkeans dashing against one another and'a wailing of children. but nothing in the way of milk to spread a cream of peace and consola- {tion ‘upon the scene. | In:Boston the trouble ‘has been borne with exem- plary -patience, - or perhaps with cowardice. Men | have thought it nobler or discreeter ta say nothing {and to-sing low. In Baltimore, however, the racket has With clash and with rattle th hy e |- “The Gosts ‘of the milk-seiins whaa.

Will Spend Some Time in the State Before Returning to Chicago. Finlay Peter Dunne, whose creation of the popular. “Dooley’ has given him fame wherever the English language is spoken and Irish humor is ‘appreciated, is a. guest at the Palace. He arrived yesterday on the overland from Chicago and will re- main untfl he has thoroughly exhausted the sights and pleasures 6f San Fran- cisco. ‘His trip is taken with the object of obtaining a little recreation and rest and will be continued until he feels that he has had his fair share of vacation. Mr. Dunne was born in*Chicago and is about 30 years of age.. He has been doing Tnewspaper work for nearly fifteen years and has at one time or another occupied about - every position on a big paper. When' hé was only 21 years of age he was city editor of the Chicago. Times, which position he gave up to become Sun- day edifor of the Tribune. As Mr. Dunne did not take kindly to desk work, he resigned his place on the Trl:mna to: take up the work of a re- porter. His first Irish sketch was at the time of the Sulllvan-Corbett fight, when he told how the news of the great fistic bat- tle was received in a Chicago hall, and he took for the central figure of his arti- cle Colonel Thomas Jefferson lan, a well-known local politician, who has since died. The story was received with such favor that Mr. Dunne created *Dooley,” and has had him talking to the delight of the ulace ever since. The “Dooley’ sketches have recently appeared In book form both in this coun- try and England, and Mr. Dunne is de- riving a big royvalty from their sale. Mr. Dunne {s a cousin of Archbishop Riordan of this city, and is much disappointed at the absence of his relative, whom he ex- pected to see here. With Mr, Dunne is Mr. Grler, a Chicago Board of Trade man, and together they have been spending some time in the mountains en route to the coast. The trip has already been of much benefit to them both, and Mr. Dunne expresses him- self so well satisfled with what he has thus far seen of California that he dreads to think of the day when he will be for to return to Chicago and resume his ties as managing editor of the Journal.

When Gage called the extra session of the Legislature he thought things had been fixed for the election of Burns to the Senate. The Governor has since learned that everything has not been fixed, but, on the contrary, that the mem- bers of the Legislature are no nearer to the selection of the colonel n; Senator han they were on the last day of the regular session. Of course, there are Burns men whq make cxtravagant claims, but the anti-Burns men point out that in 120 ballots at the last session Burns gained just four votes, and further state that in the face of all claims no one has been able to lay finger upon a single man who voted against Burns last session who proposes to vote for him now. The wide publicity which has been given to the names of the anti-Burns men and the general suspicion against men in this category who may change will have a tendency to stiffen the b:u'l:s fl{ those who might otherwise weaken. SANTA ROSA PRESS . DEMOCRAT. The claim that the Interests of the State demand a special session ... of the Legislature at this time Is not true. The interests that are to be served are private and not public Interests. The motive inspiring the call was not pa- triotism, but politics.

On the other hand, only the individuals who "::m"mteeor countenance the wrong should be punished therefor.
