The shooting ol' Mr. : | Goebel took place'last Wednesday, and alter an heroic struggle ' for life, he d:el on Saturday ! morning. # From the circumstances sur-j rounding the detd there is verv I i:ttie loom for doubt that it was a : well-laid conspiracy on the part of the Republicans to get rid oi an obnoxious political opponent, and j the stain on the party is one that j will never be eradicated. As a man "lid politician Mr. I Goebel was by no means a character to be admired. At the las!, however, he showed true mettle, j ind his courage and lor.itude gained him many friends and synipn-. thizers. I'plo the day that lie' died, as the leader ol his party, he counseled them to keep within the bounds of the law, and not to resort to violence to avenge hisj death. At present the situation in Kentucky is appalling. Despite the, e tact that the Legislature had de- ! dared Mr. (.ioebel to be governor, * 7 i ihe Republicans have possession of ihe State house, and with sev- j eral thousan I State troops have defied the law and become a law! unto themselves The Democrats ; . i have a majority 111 the Legislature, | and are not allowed the use oi the State house to hold their meetings. | How it will all end no one can tell THE WIDE TIRE BILL. On Thursday of last week Senator , ? " I Mauldin's wide tire hill, whicli has j passed the Senate, came up for disrussiou ia the House of liepresenta tives. It is remarkable how divergent are opinions tvs to the merits of Kill A of nonnlii /Li. i I Lie Ulll. .n. uu1uuc1 vi jiwjiu ?v | ciared "from actual experience" that the wide tire was a decided improve-: aient and would be a great factor in j the making of good ;oads, while an ecjual number were found to assert that it was of 110 practical value *hateTer. In view of the fact that there are I thousands of dollars invested in nar-1 so row tired vehicles, and it would cause 1 a considerable expense to make the j ^ change,when the benefit to be derived j ^ is (|nestionable, the House very prop- j er!y struck out the exacting words, ? of the bill. Later on, however, this i was reconsidered, and as the law now ; i .. . i stands lucre are several counties m - i!v! which v.: 11 make the experiment, ami if tlicy find it- to Work successfully ; . , . , j lb the otner counties can come in when they see lit to do so. Aside from the : ^ merits or demerits of the bill, it seems like interfering t x> muchwitha man's j j, personal liberty to prescribe the kind le of tire he shall use. Of course the in rights of the individual can b? abrig- '0 ed for the good of the community : 1,1 but in this case the difference of ! tli opinion is too great us to the good ^ the law will accomplish. At best it iu is experimental. If the wide lire is an [n I improvement the fanner will be j quick to discover the fact and come in rum:! to using it without being i;l forced to do so by law. ________ Tim li.ui. w. i;;inw :i.
