Murder In Kentucky. It is an awful story that Kentucky Sends out on election day. It relates that twelve men have been shot or otherwise slain in brawls at or near the polls, and that seven more are dangerously wounded. These Are not victims of one row or outbreak. They are scattered over the State from its eastern border to the Ohio. They have not fallen in the re- mote districts where moonshine whisky and internal revenue war has accusé tomed people to acts of blood. The highly civilized town of Frankfort, the. capital of the State, famed for its social culture, the chivalry of its men and the beauty of the women, is the scene of the most serious shooting. The story is that the Democrats had carried a wagon load of negroes out to a barn and locked them up in order that they should not vote. A party of eight or ten went to rescue them and .fighting ensued-with three fatalities. Then the law was appealed to, ~and in the attempt to serve the warrants on one Egbert, who had led the party to rescue the negroes, there were several other shots and as many more men killed. Three men were killed at another I place, the result of an altercation near the polls. An election quarrel ter- minated an old feud at Junction City by the death of two men. Then at Paris, Bourbon county, the centre of the famed Blue Grass region, there Paducah furnishes the press dis- was more shooting. a victim, which shooting, patch says naively, creates great in- terest on account of the high social standing of the parties. At Middleboro there was more shooting. And so the miserable story completes its record of election day blood-lating. The people of Kentucky furnish a peculiar study in American social life. i There are. indeed, other localities where killing ,is frequent, but it is gen- . erallyconfined to a class—as Kans1s City and Dallas, where the gamblers Co 11, at New Orleans, where professional politicians engage in it. But in Ken- tuck) it seems to be limited to no class 01 9:1 ade of social life. Judges 011 the bench, railway superinten- dents, hotel keepers and horse nbreeders reach around to their hip pocket for a-weappn with cheerful alacrity on the least prov- . cation and give and receive a fatal fir: without seeming to regard being murdered or murderer as anything else than an ekpected incident of everyday life. The predominant racial type in Ker.- tucky is ' Celtic, and their whisky is said to be the best in the world, but, perhaps, as 1n the case of certain chem- i'c11s which are safe when separated are very dangerous when brought in contact—the peculiar Celtic strain of blood and the whisky of the native still are accountable for these frequent slayings. Whatever. may be the cause the murder record of the State, and on, av sry succeeding election day gparticu- lawyers, temperance lecturers, larly, is a disgrace to American civil ization. ‘ -‘ ‘v' -A New Blessing. A new age has dawned upon the world. It has come without warning, and the announcement of its arrival was as modest as a three line. para- graph could make it. Some inventive genius, says the Palladium, has devised a noiseless poker chip. It is made of soft rubber and the-keenest ear in all the city police cannot detect its pres- of the intricacies of a jack pot. The longer give the alarm to the minion of the law who is listening at the keyhole, and no longer can the festive sport play the Old tune on the bones which came so easy when the stack was high. It will be difficult for a while, how- ever, not to imagine there is something wanting in a poker game where the chips do not rattle. They will have a rather ghostly effect upon the player, who was wont to raise to the limit on 'a four-Card flush and conceal his bluff behind a lively and inviting tune played upon a stack of whites. The solid and satisfactory chunk upon the table with which a good fat pot' was lauded home will no longer sound across the board and bring envy to the hearts of those who contributed. No longer will the decadent novelist introduce his woman with a past to chips upon the table, the shrill cry of the croupier,” etc. In fact, it is an- other age of the noise-less poker chip, and‘the present generation must make haste and adjust itself to new conditions the first thing we know Edison will turn his electric current in the direc- tion and discover something less ex- of knaves with which to open a jack pot.
