A Pretty Tough State.

From the Industrial American oi Lexington, Ivy., we take the following gloomy account of the moral conditions existing In that State. But il should be remembered that Kentucky is not the only State of which practically the same may be said. The Judges, juries and lawyers are wholly responsible for the conditions thus sel forth by the American: “Take the State at large, and thworld stands amazed at the way ir which the laws are administered. Human life is not held of any value, 13 the statement made to the world by the ac tion of Kentucky juries. “The time has come to call a halt The gallows must be used and murdei suppressed, or capital and homeseekerf will continue to shun Kentucky as they would a city with an epidemic of cholera or yellow fever.”
