OI$BI$L POLITICAL CON^l'IHACY AND THAU I I>Y. Tho Demo? ratic Loader ol Kentucky shot i iin-u;;ii the bungs While on Ills Way tu tho Slate tioute. Wil' am Goobel, tho D> mooratlc conto-tant for Governor of Kentucky, wt'h si ot down and dangerously wound ed while walking tho capitol grounds at Frankfort, Ky., on Tuesdav, Jan. 30 th. Senator Goebel was wounded by a rillj ball of small oallbre, not ovi r .'18, which struck him In too right lung, across tho body in a 1 ugonal line, passing out be ow tho left shoulder blade. The vital organs wore not ln jurec, with tho exception of the right lung. Mr. Gothel was on his ways to the Senate, uhumber in company with Gol. Jack Chinn and Warden K ip Liilard. Ol tho Frankfort penitentiary. Mr. Liilard w;*s a fow feet in advance of Goebel and Ohlnn, who wero walking side by aide, Goobi 1 being on the right aud Chinn on tho left. From the outer edge of the capitol grounds to tho step of tho capitol building tho distance is about three hundred feet. Two-thirds of this had beo i passed and the men were walking slowly, whin suddenly a shot rang out from a large three story building, which stands lifty feot east of the capitol building. This building is used for cilices by nearly all the leadi.ig otlicials i f the Stale, Governor Taylor and tho S cretary of Stato bav Ing rooms on the ti at II n>r. As the shot was heard (Jo-bel gave a ? quick involuntary exclamation of oain and made an iffort lo draw his re volver. Iiis strengtli was unequal to tho task, however, and he sau? upon tho pavement. With great rapidity several muro shots veru Bred, tho bullets all striking tiie brick sidewalk close to where Goch. I lay. Noue of them touctcd him, however. Liilard hastily turned around to aid Goobel, who was supported by Uhlnn, who had hi.- arms abou: him a most as soon as ho touched the pavement. " Get help," said Chinn to Liilard, and turning to Goebel, l.o asked : " Are you hurt, .Goebel ? Did they get you ?' "They have got mo this time," said Goebel. "I guess they Imvc killed mo." In less than a minute a crowd of men was around Goebel. lie was losing much blood aud was becoming very weak. He was hastily carried lo tho cilice of Dr. E E. tlumo, in the base ment of ttiu-Gapitol iiotul, about on thousand feet from the spot where the shooting occurred. Here lie was laid on a sofa, while Dr. llumo made a hasty i xamination, pronouncing the wound to ou of a nature that must cauvj doath in a short time. Goebel, wh.j showed groat fortitudo and courage tbrouguout, smiled weakly as ho heard the verdict and feebly rolled his heal from side to side In token of dissent from that opinion. He was then carried lo his room, on tho second 11 >or of the Capitol Hotel, and, in addition to Dr. Hume, Drs. McGormick and E y were suuimoi.eel to attend him. After a careful examination of tho wound the doctors announced that, while ex ceedingly dangerous, it was uecossarily fatal, unless complications or blood poisoning should set in. Tho patlein himself Kepi up his courage, insisting again and again that ho was not going 1 to dio It was decided by his friends to ca'l in also tho services of Dr. McMurty, a prominent surgeon of Louisville, and urgent message were at oncp sent for him. After tho wound had been dressed Soantor Goebel showed great exhaustion and it was announced by the physiciaLS that he would in all probability dio in a short lime. Lie rallied, however, and under tho in fluence of an opiato sank lntoagont'o slumber, which lasted several hours. The bullet which struck Mr. Goebol was tired from a window in the centre of tho third story of tho ollico building just oKbt of too capitol. That window was raised about eight inches from the sill to permit an unobstructed passage for tho bullet when Mr. Goobel should como within range. Uoth Chinn and Liilard assert that, while the lirst shot came In tho direction of the window in tho third story, thero were other shots tired from UitTorent portions of the same building. Some of those who heard the shots say that at least one shot was 'ired from tho office of the Secretary of State. This, however, Is not truo. Thero were several men in tho ortlco of tho Secretary of State, who rushed to tho window as soon as the shots were heard, and all of them declare that thero was no shot lircd at all from that part of tho buiiding. The window in tho third story was left open, no elTort b^'ng made to close It by the wculd-be ?asaesin, while not another window in tho building was oponed, nor woro there any places whoro bullets had been fired througli thorn. As soon US it wish known that the bullet w'iLh struck Mr. Gnouol had come from tho buli Jing to the east a group of men gathered la front of the door on the east side. Othore ran around to tl.o door on the west sldo to prevent tho escapo of any not! y from thoro. Several men attemptod to ented tho doors from tho outside, but woro prevented by groups of moun taineers who stood In the doorways. Some ol these men hold Winchesters in their hands, and pre.-onted an aspect so b t norally uninviting that no attempt was made to scach tho building, and nobody gained oi.trance to it for aovcral minutes after tho s Looting had been done, and mo asr-asr Ion had amplo op portunity lo escape That tho shooting of Mr. Goobel was the roeult of a can fully laid plan is without question. The man who did the work tiad evidently taken his stand at tho wiuib w, which had previously been ralflc.l in oru. to al ow tho free passage of the bullet, and waltod until his victim was in full sight bofore firing. Ever since tho !? flux of mountaineers Ust week a large number of them have been sleeping in tho upper part of the State Houso. It is not known, how flffl Ibad any knowledge MflQf Ml crime. There has HH'ii disci vered tho IB KgUAiohitlng to t ny man, B now that any will Tho man who tired tho shots took tho precaution to conceal his ocation by ubing smokeless powder cartridges. A score of people had a full view of tho side of the building from which the tiriny was done and all of them de clare that not a sign of powder smoke was visible. Moth Chinn and Liilard are men of experience in BiTatra in which powder smoke la a more or le-s prominent feature, and they both declr.ro that while they could tell the general direc tion from which ti e bullets came, they could not guess at tho spot from which t hey wero lir( d. " I tried hard to get a sight of the ft How,"-aid Liilard. ".to kept pour ing the leail down at us and I swear there was not a sign of anything to lo ll cate from where ho was shooting As many shots as ho tind would makt considerable smoko if ordinary cart ridges were usetl, but never a sign ol smoke could 1 etc." I looked around a mighty brief ? poll," suid Col. Chinn, " but thero was nothing iormetto look at, so 1 paid at te ction to Goebel. Tho follow used etnokel ss powder all right enough, and 1 guess be was pretty wise to do it. Somebody might have got him if they had known where ho was. liy the timo wo knew where to look for him hu had gone, but it was timo to loot? somewhere else." QOV. TAYLOR ADJOURNS LBQISLA1 URB On Wednesday morning Cov. Taylor, It puhliean, isssued a proclamation de daring that a stato of insui rcetion or isttd ir Kentucky and particularly in the city of Frankfort, and because ol this ho adjourned tho Legislature to meet at London, Laurel C junty on h\ hruary ti. Tho Democratic members of tho Leg islature declined to accept tho adjourn ment and decided to meet elsewhere. The Legislature as a body ran through the streets to the opera house only to lii.d a comp.tny of soldiers drawn up before it. Then tho Legislature de cided to deliberate in the courthouse and ran through tho streets in that di rection. A second company of soldiers beat tho lawmakers to tho goal and they then took to the streets, looking for a plaec in which to hold a gessioo anu declare William E. tJuobel governor of Kentucky. Not a member of tho Legislature knew whether the body would bo per mittcd to meet in the cauilol building All they know was that soldiers were guarding every gato and that nobody would bo allowed to enter without a pass. They decided, however, to moot at the Capitol hotol and march in a body to the State House. Clerk Edward Lue, of the House, with Representa tive Kdday and Lewis, formed tho ad vance* guard, and at 0.40 they ptc sentcd themselves at the south gate of tho capitol grounds. A young lieu tenant was on guard, in command of a small squad. As soon as tho members of tho Leg islature were ideutiliod they were ad mitted and allowed to pass Into the capitol building. Not a soldier was In sight on tho outsldo of the building, but once the door was opened, it looked like war. Ljng lines of infantry were drawn up on each side of tho hall, with ?x d Oayonots. At the. font of the s tairs leading to tho legislative halls, stood Colonel Williams, and behind him a detachment of soldiers, completely blockading thestair. Colonel Williams carried in his hand a largo bundle of papers, which ho handeil to o ch mem ber of tho Uoueo as they passed him. it was a cony of tho proclamation given above. Colonel Wiiiiams permitted Clerk Leo, assistant Clerk Henry Stone and a fow representatives to pass up the stairs. Then the main body of the Legislature camo tramping through the deor vay, and they wero stopped by th ' soldiers in an instant. Loud cries and exclamations filled tho air, and Colonel Williams, mount ing half way up tho stairs, shouted : '? Gentlemen, I hold In my hands a proclamation issued by tho Governor of K '.ntueky, which 1 will read. He then read the proclamation in a loud tone, and directed an orderly to pas. copies of tho proclamation out Into the crowd. Tho legislators woro coming in too rapidly, however, and tho push ing and shouting mado It Impossible for any explanation to bo given to the late oomere. Adjutant General Collier then mount ed tho stairway and read tho proclama tion a secoid nine, after which a col lequy ensued and it was proposed to meet in tho opera houso, but the sol diers reached thoro before tho legisla tors and provented their entrance. The selection of London as the meet ing placo of the Legislature is signifi cant in tho fact that it is right In the heart of the country from which ail the mountain) ei m who havo from time to time como down to Frankfort. The county Is ono of tho strongest Republi can counties in tho State, anu its in habitants are for the most part radical Republicans. The Democrats say that their lives will not safo a day if they go up into that country. None of them will go. Tho Republican members Lo gan drawing their por diem at once, and all of them left for London on the coning trains. QOEBEL HAS liEEN maim; GOVERNOR. William E. Goobel has been declared Governor of Kentucky by a majority of both branches of tho Legislature, und the oath of office was adminLtorod to him by Chief Justico Lla/.lerigg, of the court of appeals, at 9 o'clock Wednes day night. The justico went to tho room of Sen ator Goobel, at the Capitol hotel, where the Democratic louder lay between life and death, ami after Goubol had been propped up in bid and his Land raised, the judgo pronounced the words of the oat i and Goobel subscribed to them, thus becoming the chief executlvo of Kentucky. Thon ho sank back on his pillow i.cm- to death. Tho scene was ono unparalleled lb tho history of thu world.

"The majority of both bouus of the Legislature declared for them." hu said, "und when I wua asked to swear them in there was Kulbing left for me it) uo hut udministi r the oath of < 111 e. The proceeding was of course, entirely legal and proper. I would not have cone as I did hau it been other wise." President K nicy has received a long message Irom Governor WS Taylor,ol Kentucky, asserting tb&ttbe condition of allairs at the present time is most critical, that a riot may occur at any time which will cause bloodshed, and appealing to tha Prisidont to end the matter and secure peace in the State by recognizing him as Governor of Kentucky.

Ho entered tho room and tho door wps closed a few minutes S?ou after Dr. Hume was summoned and to him Arthur Goebel announced that Mr. Goebel had died at 6.4*1 o'clock. Within a few moments the following announcement had been prepared aud was silently banded about tho hotel and in tho striets : 11 To tho People of Kentucky : It is with the most profound sorrow that we announce tho death of Governor William Goebel. In his >ast moments ho counselled his friends to keep cool and bow to tho law in all things. We, nis friends, beg of tho people of Ken tucky in this hour of i lulOtlOO to caro fully abstaiu from any act of violence or any resort to mob law. It would be his wish if ho wero alivo that there should be- absolutely no stain on his memory by any Impruden ajtofaoy who were his friends.

This giaut corporation has controlled tho councils of tho D.moeratle party in tout State and has dictated the nomi nation and election of every Governor since the civil war. It is the champion and defender of lawle.s corporate power.

The following gives a good idea of tho work and the compensation : Tho act of March 3, 181)1), under the provisions of which the twelfth census of the United States is to bo taken, provides for tho appointment of tuper visora of census, ono or more to each Stito aud Territory, the District of Columbia, Aiasku aud tho Hawaiian Inlands, to have general supervision within their respective uistricts of the ? numeration to he made In Julc, l'JUO. O.io of tho duties Imposed by the census act upon these sipcrvibora is tho designation of suitable persons to bo employed, with tho consent of the oiroctor of tho census, as eoumor ??ors wiihln thoir respective districts, it la further provided that such persons .-hull I) ' residents of the enumeration districts for which they may be ap pointed, and that they shall bosoieclel solely witb reforenco to litness, and without reference to their political party t ttilialious. The appointment of enumerators will bo made with referenco to physi cal uctivity aud to aptness, neatness and accuracy In writing anJ in the use of figures. The census requires active, energetic persons of good address and readiness with tbo pon. Only such can do tho work with satisfaction to t o government or profit to tOoin s lves.

Under loo provisions of aoction 7 of tha census act the enumeration in June, l'JUU, is restricted to inquiries! relating to tho population, to mor- I tality, and to the producta of agricul ture and of manufacturing and mecha nical establishments, and, by tho same seolioo, the Schedules of mortality and of manufacturing and mechanical tbtabliahmcuta may bo withhold from the enumeratora, in tho didcrotion of the director of tho census, lu no caao, therefore will tho schedules of Inquiries to bo mado by tho cenauB enumeratora exceed four In number, und In thla re spect tho work of the enumerators at tho twelfth census will bo much more aimpio than that rt quired of enumera tors at prt ceding ceuauaes.

Solomon suys : ' A living dog is bet ter than a d?aJ lion. That may be s? in a worldly dense, but the dead lion costs the most money. I w as just read ing an itemi/, nl statement ol now much it cost to bury Senator MorrlU. O COUrtie ho was buried at the govern munt expense, but it seeun to me bt could have been pjt ii*uy for lo?? money. The sum total loots up $!{ 112 The casket co-t $IU0. cedar 9blpptn* ease $00, embalming $l>0, carriage*! $108, Bpeeial train from Washington t< Springtleld $782, Springfield to Moni polier $117. fares for attendants from Troy to Washington $.117, I'u luiat I cars *;5UU. commissaries $78. Tnese aro tho largest items. There is a pago full of smaller ones. The> there is decoration of the Senate cham ber $100 and orap^ and gloves and re galia and flowers $280. advertising ur< - gramme $113, music $10, etc. Jijt th< largest item is $? 000, a year's salary after he died. This went to his son. That is the rule. If a morab.r diet while in elHco his salary goes on for a year. But Vermont was not so very faraway. If a member fiom Califor nia or Oregon dies tho cost of transpor tation for tho remains and tile escort runs up into the thousands. Ah, my country ! Where tl.o carcass is tm eagles will bo gathered together. That La tho reason I reckon why the eaglo is our national emblem for tho treasury is the carcass. i was ruminating abuut this grand parade over the burial of public men ? tho expense of it?tho glitter aud ga loro and show of it, for at tho last it i> a junket, a frolic that members of Con gress like and they scheme to get on the grand excursion. Hooker Wash* lug ton says that tho negro Is never happier than when going to a funeral. White folks set them tho example, es pecially In the towns and cities. The truth is that a common man who barely supports bis family and Is Struggling along to educate his children can't af ford to die, for the funeral expenses tuku all ho has left and leaves tho fam ily penniless. J'oor Tom Brumby had no wlfo or children, but for years had been supporting a poor old mother and educating an orphan niece. Lie had when ho died $700 in bank aud it took that?tho last dollar?to bury him. 1 imagine that If he could have spoken in his last moments he would have said : " Give it to mother. Oh ! give it to my mother. A $400 casket will do mo no good." The verv last letter that he wrote her from Manila said : " If 1 do not live to get back there are $700 in bank for you." Well, may bo Cougresswill grant the old laly a pension. Maybe so, but ! reckon sho will dio before she cots It, and as for that prize money I see that the government is fighting it, and that means its non-payment. Dowey's vic tory is an old song now. I woudor if they would bury him at public ex pense. It seems to mo that tho cost of fu nerals should bo proportioned to the condition of tho family. As .'or mo, I feel like a metal casket that would keep out tho water and the worms and a plain marble tombstono would be enough. No monument and but a line of epitaph. Some grass and (lowers that my uuchained .-pint would like to seo when it hovers ovor the place wbero Its prison house was buried. Neglected graves are a sign of inhu manity. Costly ones a sign of vanity. But monuments to heroes or to great aud uoble men are always proper. Not that they are of any eor.D<. quenco 10 the dead, but they point a moral to the living. Let us build that monument to tho modest and gallant Brumby aud place it on the capitol grounds where it can be seen and whero It will speak in silence to the peopl o as tin ? pass. Lit the tributo bo one of love, honor aud admit ation from theo,.: and the young. Our little grand child who was his niece and loved him, wi.l open her little iron bank when it gets full and send tho $5 to the committee. Every little school girl and boy should have a dime or a nickel in that monument, for besides his courage and patriotism he was loving and kind to his aged mother. Be deserves a monument for that. Several times of lato I havo read the talks of Carnegie and Rockefeller to tho youug men in a Bible class and their ldeus about giving and helping do not please mo. Of course, tveiy body honors them for their iarge boun ties to colleges and libraries, Out they say that charities to tho poor do no last ing good and that V0 per cent, of it is wasted, but that rich men hould help poor young men who are struggling to climb up in the world. My observation is that those struggling young men will get up anyhow just like Carnegie and Ujckefeller. I had rather see a hun dred poor peoplo relieved Loin distret-s than a dozen young men helped on the way to fortune and success. Thero is too much prejudice against the poor. Most of them are women and children who are helpless and can't get a start Thero Is no work for them and 80 they havo to beg or starve. The other day 1 droppod a quarter in tho tin cup ol a poor old woman who was crouched on tho sidewalk of Marietta street, and her look of thankfulness paid me. The winter wind was blowing and tho pav ing stonos woro cold, but sho sat there and watched for charity. Sho was old and palo and pin ml and tho skin stuck close to hor bony hands. 1 crossed the street and stood and watched for many mb '.'tea and never saw anybody else put any money In hor cup. Sho may bo a fraud?an impostor, but I am sure that sho is not impoverishing the mil lionaires or anybody else. My idea ip that a good Samaritan would stop and inv >stigato that woman's condition and lift her up from tho cold sidewalk and too hor to a warm, comfortable home an I buy hor a pair of blankets and some coal and speak a few kind words I and comfort trite children if sho ha { any. City people gut hardoncd to suci thing* and pass by and say why do. b she mit go to the poorhousu. VThero is j the poorhousb and who w 11 i take her : there, and would not sho be separatee I from those ?ho loven ? I know a man whose charitlos uro more to ho com mended than all tho munllicunt glftsof tho millionaires. Ho is not rich norol nor young, nor chihlh m, but ho maker moro than a good living and Is always helping some poor young man or w.i man or orphan childron. II? lplng th m not only with money, but with bop< and good cheer, lifting them up ont ol despair and planting ll om on a f*ood foundation. Lie has befriended hun dreds in this quiet, unostentatious way and it is not blazoned to tho world nor heralded in the pros'* dispatcher What he hat dono is now his gr0atc.1t comfort in his doclining yew-, for ho has without exception the love and gratitude and loyalty of them all. . There le no systom to his charities for 1 every oase stands for itsdf.
