Tea Men Indicted
For GoebePs Murder.
Six Principals and Four Ac?
cessories Named by
Grand J arv
Frankfort. Ky , April 17 -The
Franklin connty grand jury this after
noon returned indictments against 10
persons, charging them with com
plicity in th? murder of Wm. Goebel
The principals named are Henry ?
Yonlsey, James Howard, Berry
Howard, Harland Whittaker and
?'Tallow Dick" Combs (colored)
Those indicted as accessories before
the fact are Secretary of State Caleb
Powers, Capt John T. Powers,
W. fl Culton and Wharton
Golden in the indictment, relating
to the alleged accessories, three other
men are indirectly referred to as
accessories, though no indictments
were reported against them. They
are Gov. W. S Taylor, Green
Golden and Capt John Davis.
Henry E. Yootsey, who is men
tioned as the first principal, was a
clerk in the office of State Auditor
Sweeney. He formerly lived at
Newport. Yootsey was first named
in the case by Wharton Golden, the
star witness for the prosecution at
the examining trial of Caleb Powers.
Jim and Berry Howard are cousins
and mountaineers of note in connec?
tion with the old Howard feud.
They were with the men alleged to
have been brought here by the Pow?
ers brothers, Finley and others on
the "excursion of mountaineers "
Harlan Whittaker lived in Butler,
Gov Taylor's home county, and is
alleged to have been in the room in
the executive building from which
the shot was fired.
Dick Combs, the uegro, lived at
Beattyville, and aiso came here with
the mountain men. Caleb Powers is
the Republican contest?e for secre?
tary of state, and John T. Powers,
another of the defendants named as
an accessory, is his brother. Charles
Finley was secretary of state under
tbe former Republican State adminis?
tration when W. 0. Bradley was
governor. Chas. Finley is now in
Indianapolis, having gone there just
before the warrant charging him with
complicity was sworn out, six weeks
ago W. H Culton was a clerk in
the office of Auditor Sweeney. Whar?
ton Golden was a member of the Tay
lor State guard, and claimed to torn
State's evidence on the stand in the
examining triai of Caleb Powers,
when be recited what be claimed to
be the inside facts relating to the
alleged conspiracy to murder Goebej
and enough Democratic members of
tbe legislature to give the Republi
cans a majority. It is stated that the
commonwealth will at once nolle pros
the indictment against Golden in
consideration of his testimony

TWO WHITES TO ONE NEGRO
Washington, April 19 -Gen.
Sanger today made public the com
pendions results of the Cuban census
taken under hi? direction. The
figures are very instructive, aod in
the opinion of the war department
officif-ls, folly justify the decision
of the administration to allow muni j
cipal suffrage in Cuba at an early j
stage. The officials are gratified to
find that the native Cubans constitute
so large a portion of the population,
tbat the whites so greatly outnumber
the blacks and that so large a
proportion of the native population
can read and write ?n their opinion
there seems to be no reason for the
objection that the proposed basis of
suffrage would result in turning the
island over to the control of Spain
The total population of Cuba is 1,
573,797, including 815,205 males
and 757,592 females. There are 447,
372 white males 462,926 white
females of native birth. The foreign
number 115 760 males and 26,459
femaies There are 121,898 male
negroes and 122,740 female negroes
The mixed races number 125,500
males 145,306 females.
The population of Habana city is
235,991 and of the province of liaba
na 424,804
The population of the province of
Matanzas is 202,444; of Pinar del
Rio 173,064 ; of Puerto Principe 88,
234 : of Santa Clara 356,536 : and of
Santiago 327,715
Of the total populatien of the isl?
and 1,118,709 are set down as single,
246,351 as married; whiie 131,787
live together by mutual consent
There are 85.112 widowed persons
Of 'he total population occording
to citizenship, 20,478 are Spanish ;
1,296,367 are Cuban; 175.811 are

i of age and over 49,414 have attended

443 426 can read and write and 19,
158 have a superior education
The table on citizenship, literacy
and education is specially important
as forming the basis of suffrage
about to be conferred. Because so
many citizenships are etili in sus
pense, and for other reasons, the
returns are not quite complete, but
the conclusion is drawn that there
will be at least 14.000 qualified na
tive Coban voters under the propos
ed basis of suffrage, aod against this
there will be 55,767 Spaniards whose
citizenship was in suspense when
the censos was taken, less the num?
ber who have sioce declared to
preserve their Spanish citizenship,
and plas illiterate Spaniards, not de
dared who are the owners of prop
erty It is not believed that there
will be aDy great number of the
latter class, aa the total number of
illiterate Spanish males over 21 is
only 17,426 The comparison shows
a mocb greater preponderance of
Cuban voters thao waa expected.
There are 187,826 white adult males
who were born in Coba as against
96,083 born in Spain ; 6.794 boro in
other countries and 127.300 colored.
Males are in excess io the total
population, except io Santiago,
thoogh the female whites outnumber
the male whites, except in Pmar del
Rio. Among the negroes and mixed
races the females are in excess :
while among the foreign whites the
males are largely in excess
The negroes are in the minority
in Cuba, constituting only 32 per
cent of the population, being the
most numerous io Santiago, where
they constitute 43 per cent The
native whites constitute more than
one-half the population, or 58 per
cent. The proportion of children
ander 5 years is nnosually small,
but the proportion under 21 is nor?
mal ; about one half of the popula?
tion Only 15 7 per cent of adults

As an Object Lesson Ile IM Worth a

Richard P. Bland-People Clamor?
ing: For Boer Recognition-Leader
Richardson Force? Sereno Payne*?
Hand-Republicans In a Hole-The
Porto Rican Infamy.
[Special Washington Letter.]
While the Bland eulogies were being
delivered in the bouse April 7, Mark
lianna strolled imo the gallery with
a couple of young ladies, to whom he
was showing the sights. Ile cocked
his ear long enough to learn what was
going on and "then turned iike a craven
and lied.*' No wonder! for the bare
statement of what Richard Parks
Bland was in public life is a severe j
condemnation of what Mark Hanna
is and what he stands for iu public
life. Bland stood for the people. Han- j
na stands for the plutocrats and trusts
and jobbers. Bland never spent a dol?
lar improperly in politics in his life.
Hanna's high place is due nearly en?
tirely to the unlimited use of boodle.
Bland illustrated conscience iu poli?
tics. Ilauna illustrates the power of
the almighty dollar. Eland's memory j
smells sweet and blossoms in the dust, j
Mark's will have the sickening odor j
of the vaiiey of Gehenna. So Mark ?
did well to hurriedly quit the scene j
where the simple story of a pure man's j
life was being told for the edification j
of coming generations.
Hanna an Object Lesson.
By the way, not lon.u since when I
addressed a monster Boer meeting at
Trenton, a newspaper reporter repre?
sented me as saying that I wished
somebody would shoot Mark. The re?
porter did not hear correctly. V\*hat 1
did say was this: "President McKin?
ley is a gracious, graceful, agreeable,
tactful gentleman. I think his uatural
inclination is to do right. It would
be a good tiling for him if somebody
would lead Mark Ilauna out into a
sequestered spot and shoot him." I
was talking of the beneficial effect it
would have on the president's personal
and political fortunes-not of my per?
sonal desires. As a matter of fact, I
would not have Mark shot for any?
thing. Xor would I like to see him die
a natural death, indeed, If he were
sick and none of his retainers and
slaves would fetch him a doctor, I
would do so myself. I regard him as
the most valuable and forcible object
lesson Democrats could possibly have
in the impending campaign. He is worth
100,000 votes to us. perhaps 500,000.
My prayer, therefore, is that he may be
spared until the polls close on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November. Then, if the grim reaper
should cut him down, my lachrymal
fountains would not deplete them?
selves to any astonishing extent. Want
Mark shot? Not by any manner of
means. I would consider it as a great
national calamity-as a sore personal
bereavement-if he were taken now.
Richard P. Bland.
Speaking of Bland-and there is
nothing better for a Democrat to speak
of-I desire that my readers shall en?
joy reading the eulogy pronounced by
that big hearted Tammany brave.
Amos J. Cummings, on the great Mis?
sourian. It is a gem. It is uuique ora?
tory. Here it Is in full:
"Mr. Speaker, as a representative of
the toiling masses of the great metrop?
olis of the nation I am here to pay
tribute to the memory of one whom
they recognized as their unfailing
friend and benefactor.
"Mr. Speaker, a faithful sentinel of
the people was Richard P. Bland. On
guard night and day in the venal age
of the republic, he never forgot the
countersign of liberty and challenged
all who approached her camp. He
never sought relief from duty at free?
dom's outpost, and the grand rounds
never found him asleep. Xor for an in?
stant did he flinch from duty. Regard?
less of personal interests, he stood for
the people at ail times and in all
places. Be the weather fair or foul,
the glint of his musket wai there.
"With him there was neither truce
nor compromise with those who sought
special privileges at the expense of the
public, lie was neither dismayed at
the rapacity of greed nor appalled at j
the audacity of trusts. All Iiis life was
he a true disciple of Thomas Jefferson.
'Equal rights for all; special privileges
for none.' was his motto. Ile fell bat?
tling for the rights of the masses, while
exposing tine snares of monopoly and
defying the mercenary cohorts that
threaten the life of the republic.
"Riehard I*. Bland had m.* parallel in j

Well did Charles A. Dana say of it, "It

cial statesmanship evolved in congress

"Although insidiously deprived of the
fruits of his victory. Bland did not
lose heart. Having abiding faith in
the people, he led a misado against
the Saracen. Ile opened anew* the light
for bimetallism, it was a persistent
and a glorious fight-one not yet envied.
All admire the gallant struggle made
today for the freedom of the* Trans?
vaal. Bland stood as firmly for free
coinage. Ile defended every kopje,
traversed every veldt and fought with
a tenacity that astonished the world.
His attacks upon the opposition were
so well delivered, strenuous and sus?
tained that ai. times he drove his ad?
versaries to insincere and humiliating
devices. At times victory seemed to
be almost within his grasp, at times
as hopeless as the search for the phi?
losopher's stone. In every vicissitude
he was beset by desertions, in every
crisis loaded with obloquy. His prowess
breasted every difficulty

Ne*er feels retirir.p: ebb, but keeps due on
To the Propontie and the Hellespont.
Leader of the People.
"Think for a moment. Mr. Speaker,
of the bright satellites that set out with
him on what seemed like a holiday ex?
cursion. How many fell by the way!
How many turned against him! Look
over this house, take a glance at the
senate-aye. cast your eyes even upon
the presidential chair-and then com?
pute, ii* you can. the strength of the
mighty tide that turned against him.
And yet. undaunted, uii.swervin.tr. un?
complaining, he held his course with
un tl ev iating li d el i ? y.
"Ile was as constant and abiding as
the northern star amid a shower of
swerving meteors. Defying mutiny,
like the great navigator who gave man?
kind a new world, his lu ?pe ne'er dim?
med, his purpose never changed. How?
ever wild the tempest, however strong
the bellowing flood of passion, he pur?
sued an unvarying course. He was the
great political navigator of the people,
sailing upon the ocean of destiny, with
the Declaration of Independence as
his guiding star and the constitution
as his compass.
"Mr. Speaker, this hall is still ring?
ing with his manly words. They were
the coinage of lu's convictions. His sin?
cerity alone would have made him
more than conspicuous: his ability and
devotion to the principles advocated so
persistently made him truly great. Ho
had an academic but no collegiate
training. Xor had lie traveled in the
realm of metaphysical disquisition, but
he had delved in ?lie gold and silver
mines of the Pacific slope, had prac?
ticed law and fought Indians on the
border and. like Cincinnatus of old,
had followed the plow. It was a grand
training for the role which he was to
fill. Born in Kentucky, every fiber of
his body, every filament of his brain,
every scintillation of his intellect was
American.
"There was a halo about him at all
times that forbade either the charge or
thought of selfishness. His life was a
chapter of consisten-; and faultless log?
ic. Oratory cannot adorn it; detraction
cannot deface it.
"Sir, memory is a never fading mir?
ror. It reflects the scenes of other
days. We who knew him can still see
that modest but firm man rising here
in his place, treading these aisles, stop?
ping to meet an inquiry, turning firmly
to an attack, leading an onset, never
beating a retreat.
"Richard P. Bland was a fitting type
of the old time statesman, now, alas,
fading away. Ile belonged to the gen?
eration that produced the founders of
the republic. He had the true Revolu?
tionary grit. He would have been a
worthy colleague of Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe. He was a builder, not a
destroyer. He strove to pull down ev?
erything vicious in statesmanship and
to raise eveiwthing wholesome to a
common level.
"Whether on the floor, in committee
or listening to chat in the cloakroom,
he was essentially thoughtful. There
was a rippling strain of humor about
him. but his face never lost its cast of
thoughtfulness. His friendship was
sterling silver; his affection pure gold.
Sir. I rejoice in my affiliation with such
a man. lt is better than gold and pre?
cious stones. He left his imprint upon
the legislation of this house. When
the seeker after truth comes to study
the great men who have shaped the
destinies of the republic, he will find
Richard P. Bland among the immor?
tals. Future historians will linger o'er
his name and gladly preserve his
fame."

Spanish War Taxes.
To Hon. James D. Richardson of
Tennessee, Democratic leader of the
house minority, belongs the high honor
of having driven the Republicans into
an investigation to discover whether
the Spanish war taxes are producing
a surplus in the revenue. The truth is
that since the wrangle over the Porto
j Rican tariff bill demoralized them so
! the Republicans have been in a nerv
j ous. timorous and irritable frame of
! mind. Most of them are fussy as an
! old sitting hen. They found out that
i Richardson was preparing a resolution
to investigate the revenues, and Hon.
Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the com?
mittee on ways and means, whose
present frame of mind, notwithstand?
ing his Christian name, is by no means
serene, straightway introduces a reso?
lution of that sort himself, hoping
thereby to forestall the tactful Tennes
seeau and reap a little glory himself;
but the people are not all "natural born
durn fools." as was Sut Lovingood's
daddy, and they will not be deceived
by Mr. Payne's transparent trick. They
will give credit where credit is due, to
Mr. Richardson, for he forced Mr.
Payne lo take the initiative. The
probabilities are that the New Yorker
would not have moved in the matter
this side the resurrection had Richard?
son not prodded him up. So. what?
ever comes of h. th-: honor belongs
clearly and of right to the gracious,
graceful, skillful, capable loader of the
? house Democrats. Hon. James D. Rich?
ardson of Tennessee.
Later on Richardson, to borrow the
felicitous language of Dr. William
Everett of Massachusetts, "deposited
the Republicans in a cavity" by intro?
ducing the following resolution:
Resolved, That this hot:?e views with deep in?
terest the heroic strug-rle of thc republics ot
Scui.ii Afri .i to maintain their independence and
herein* tenders them our most profound sympathy
in their iine.-iul but gallant strudle.
That resolution went to the commit?
tee on foreign affairs, where it may or
may mn sleep. If it sleeps. Richard?
son and his friends will want to know,
don't yon know, who administers mor?
phine i.i it. If it docs not sleep. Rich?
ardson reaps the glory.
Porto Ilico Throttled.
The deed is done. For better or for
?
I worse the Porto Rican tariff bill, with
j the senate amendments, is now a law.
j Republican leaders are in doubt as to
. whether tiley have achieved a great
parly victory, or digged the party's
grave. It passed the house by eight
majority, and we may now be said to
have become part republic and part
,' empire. It would appear that President
McKinley, who. in his December mes?
sage to congress, said it was our plain
duty to establish free trade with Porto
Rico, owes it to a long suffering and
expectant world io explain, in a signed
statement, just why he flopped. Flop
may not be a classical word to apply
to a presidential caper, but it is a good,
old forcible monosyllabic, which the
great body of the people can compre?
hend without rummaging through an
unabridged dictionary. Yes, flop is
the word. Hon. Sereno E. Payne made
a poor list of showing why he flopped.
Perhaps Brother McKinley could eluci?
date the subject more successfully and
more skillfully.
The thing which appears to be desir?
able to a vast number of people is that
the Democratic ticket shall be Bryan
and Dewey. It is generally thought
that they would win hands down. Ask?
ed if Dewey would accept second place,
a prominent gentleman of large experi?
ence said: "Dewey's hatred of McKin?
ley ls so intense that he would do any?
thing to defeat him fora second term."
He also volunteered the information
that General Nelson A. Miles and Ad?
miral Winfield Scott Schley are ex?
ceedingly anxious to encompass the un?
doing and downfall of Mark Hanna's
protege. That is certainly a distin?
guished trio to contend with-Dewey,
Schley and Miles. Perhaps Mr. Mc?
Kinley will conclude that it would
have been just as well to have treated
those great Americans with generosity
j and kindness.
lianna Frying Fat.
Mark Hanna is beginning in dead
earnest to fry the fat out of the trusts
-that is. if the St. Louis Republic can
be believed. The Republic makes the
startling charge that Mark's prelim?
inary assessment ou the trusts is $G,
500,0001 Only think of that, my coun?
trymen V Six and one-half millions for
a starter! If this is done in the green
tree, what will be done in the dry?
Mark has only one idea iu polities, and
that is to boodle somebody, and he is
evidently fixing now to eclipse his
great boodle campaign of 1SD(>, when
people stood ,-ighast at the vast sums
expended.
So a virtuous senate committee re?
ports unanimously that Senator Wil?
liam A. Clark of Montana is unfit to
sit in the millionaires' club by reason
of corrupt methods used to secure his
election. It will be a spectacle for men
and angels to see such Republican
lights ns Mark lianna and Scott of
West Virginia vote to unseat Clark
because they are afraid of contamina?
tion when no fact in American history
is more generally believed than that
Mark bought his sent and that Scott
secured his by an act of Punic- faith
utterly "disgraceful in character. And
there are others. The same gang who
vole to unsent Clark will vote to seat
Matthew Stanley Quay. " 'Xough
