Gov. Geary. of Kansas.

Itappears that the re-arrest of Hayes, the
murderer of Buffum, by order of Governor
Geary, has led to a difficulty between that
gentleman and Judge Lecompte, which vii
probably result in the resignation of one or
the other. Hayes was admitted to bail by
the Judge. Governor Geary having learned
this fact, ordered his re-arrest by U. s. Mar
shall Donaldson, who refused to execute the
order. The order was then given to Colonel
Titus, who, with posse of U. s. Troops, ex-
ecuted it. Judge Lecompte complained that
the action of Gov. Geary was an interference
with the legitimate functions Of the Court,
and threatens, it is said, to resign if the Gov
ernor is sustained by the President If the
facts in the case are as have been stated
through telegraphic and newspaper reports
there can be little doubt that Gov. Geary
will be sustained and that Judge Lecompte
will be permitted to resign. Indeed, We
think that if he does not resign, it is the duty
of the President to remove him at once. BE
has shown himself unfit for the position he
holds. He has shown that he is incapable OF
rising above personal and party predictions
and prejudices in the discharge of bis official
duties. This qualification, so necessary at all
times to the Judge upon the Bench, oughtto
be possessed in peculiar degree by one oc-
cupying the position that Judge Lecompte
does.
The restoration of quiet and good feeling
among the citizens of Kansas, demands that
the most rigid impartiality shall be observed
in enforcing the laws and in dispensing justice.
When the Judge whose duty it is to protect
the rights Of all, dwindles into the mere par
tizan, he forfeits all claim to confidence and
respect. That Judge Lecompte has done
this. to some extent, at least, we are bound to
believe, from the fact that Gov. Geary has
felt it his duty to rebuke in so signal man
ner his release of Hays upon bail, who
stands charged with an offence which is not
bailable.
The Roman frmness which Gov. Geary
has exhibited throughout his administration
so far, without regard to the consequences to
himself personally, has excited the admira-
ton of every true friend of Kansas. The fact
that the GROWERS and grumblers all represent
the extremes of the two contending factions
is the best possible evidence that his policy
has been Just about as near the right mark as
il could be-

The Financial Crisis in Europe.

The Banks of England and France are in
difficulties. The former has increased its
rate Of discount to seven per cent. This is
the highest rate demanded since 1647. The
present monetary crisis has set the political
economists to questioning the soundness of
the policy which places the control Of none
tsry affairs in the hands Of single National
Bank. The London Economist, looked up
to as an authority in matters Of finance, has
broken ground against the Bank policy of
England. 1t says:
The State, knowing little or nothing Of the
great principle of credit-producing nothing
itself, and having nothing coming forward 10
redeem its obligations, except the produce of
taxes paid out of production-has either
taken the issue of bank notes into its own
hands, or has arbitrarily and ignorantly
placed restrictions on the issue Of them by
private individuals. But bank notes-prom-
ises to pay on demand-are really loans
taken up by bankers, or whoever issues them,
from the public. Small notes would seem,
therefore, If we may so speak, natural instru-
ments for borrowing from all-spreading
amongst all to the greatest possible extent,
and in the most useful manner, the credit so
essential to future production, and especially
to the completion OF enterprises of long du-
ration. They are admirably adapted to ener-
gencies, which they can equalize at the
smallest cost.
We shall not be surprised to find move
ment made at the, session Of Parliament TO
repeal or modify the charter Of the Bank Of
England. Old Hickory's forecast and rough
energy saved us from the oppression Of
National Bank, controlling the currency and
credit Of the country.-N Y. Sun.

Slave Labor on Rail Roads.

A late number of the N. Y Evening Post
contained the following paragraph -
Free labor in the construction of railways
at the far South, has been entirely abandoned,
it being found that the Irish and Germans
are willing enough to work in winter, but
nothing will induce them to remain during
the hot weather"
To this, the N. Y. Express, with much
force replies This fact the Abolition jour-
nal throws out to prejudice the North against
the South; but the fact only confssses what
the laws of climate teach-that in tropical
ATTITUDES, or amid the malaria, where the ne
gro flourishes and fattens, the white free la
borer perishes.
Nevertheless, the whole aim and end of
Abolitionism seems to be to change this CHI
mstology. From the South, the Abolition
ist would steal the black man, to starve him
in the North, where the race runs out but for
the supply of immigrants from the South, as
the census shows, while upon the South the
same Abolitionists would force the Irish and
Germans to labor and die, under a Southern
torrid sun.
The South is for the black field-laborer,
the North Is for the free white man. He who
attempts to destroy this order of Providence,
destroys both races.

The growth of American cities is a we'll
worn subject, and the marvels OF San Fran
cisco, Chicago, st. Paul and otherso the new
generation of urban phenomena, have be-
come often enlarged on by writers of all
kinds, that it surprises no one now to hear of
fresh young giant Of city planted in a viii.
deness. But there is something peculiar in
the springing up of the city of " Superior"
10 the State of Wisconsin, on the extreme
southwestern corner Of Lake Super A
handsome paper comes to us and gives us al
most the first intimation we have had of the
existence Of such a place The Superior
Chro71icte tells US a good many things that
we Eastern people should be ashamed not to
know. Among Others, il tells us that In June,
1904, the INST movement towards establish
ing town was made there; the first steam
boat arrived during the same season; the
hrst lots were sold in September, 1854; there
was population Of 500 settled on the Bay
OF Superior. At the present time the popu-
latlon has increased TO twelve hundred, with
a prospect Of still more rapid increase. The
liberality of Congress towards the Western
States has given to Wisconsin the ability TO
make railroads, and two Of these, BY a recent
decision of the State Legislature, are to ter
inmate at Superior. One of them is under
contract and has probably been commenced
before this.
The situation Of Superior corresponds ex-
actly with that of Chicago. 1t is the chief
port at the head Of great lake and Is the
point where the railroads from the interior
of the State will terminate. As Wis
consin grows and as the commerce OF
Lake Superior increases, as that Of Lake
Michigan has done, there is no reason why
Superior may not become a second Chi
cago.
Little as we have heard Of the place, il has
not escaped the attention Of the citizens Of
pennsylvania, and good mary Pennsylva-
mans are settled there OF in the vicinity. A
Mr.. McNally, from Pennsylvania, was can
didate for State Senator, and among the rails
ets Of marvellous potatoes, some Of them
weighing two pounds, are several Philadel-
phians. There are in the paper notices of
religious services at three churches Protest
ant Episcopal, New School Presbyterian and
Methodist Episcopal, while there is also
Union Sabbath School in which all the de-
nominations are presumed to unite. The ad-
vertisements tell of a great many business
houses, and all the departments Of city life
seem to be already organized and going on
prosperously. Altogether Superior promises
to be great place. Its worst fault is that it
has not better name-one taken from the
rich Indian vocabulary. instead offrom COM
mon English adjective which has been al
ready used by lake and is offering constant
temptations to bad punsters.-Phtlada. Bui-

Washington in a Passion.

When Stuart was painting Washington's
portrait, he was rallied one day by the Gen.
eral for his slow work. The painter pro-
tested that the picture could not advance
till the canvas was dry, and that there must
vet be some delay. Upon arriving the next
morning, Stuart turned his canvas and dis
covered to his great horror that the picture
was spoiled. "General," said he, somebody
has held this picture to the fire." Washing
ton summoned his negro valet, Sam, and de-
manded of him, in great indignation, who
had dared to touch the portrait. The tremb-
lidg Sam replied, that CHANGING to overhear
Washington's expression of impatience at
the slowness of the work, and TIE response
of the artist that it must be dry be-
fore he could go on, he had ventured to
put the canvas before the fire. Washing
ton, with great anger, dismissed him, and
told him not to show his face again. But
the next day, after Stuart had arrived and
was at work, Washington rang the bell and
sent for Sam. He came in abashed and
trembling. The President drew a new sill
yer watch from his pocket and said, "Come
here, Sam. Take this watch, and whenever
you look at it, remember that your master, in
a moment of passion, said to you what he
now regrets, and that he was not ashamed to
confess that he had done So"

Important Decision.

We give up large space Of our paper to-
day to the able and interesting opinion OF
Judge Perkins, of the Supreme Court, in the
appeal case Of the Madison and indianapolis
Railroad Company VS.. Whiteneck. The
questions involved in the opinion are not
only Of interest to Railroad Companies, but
to the public at large. The main feature of
the opinion is the elaborate and conclusive
discussion Of the question of National rights,
az controlled and restrained by our system of
government. The whole subject of the
power of the Legislature over the various
pursuits of the people of the State is treated
in mastery manner. This question is one
which the people should fully understand so
Is to rightly and justly exercise the legisla-
tive power of the State.
We regard the opinion of Judge Per-
kins as very opportune. The excitement
of the recent political canvass has passed
away, and the Legislature will soon assemble
to exercise its functions in making laws to
control the various pursuits of the people of
the State And it is of the utmost import
ance that the obligations, rights and duties Of
the law-making power should be clearly and
definitely understood. And we think the
opinion of Judge Perkins will have an influ-
snce upon that body, and upon the people
generally, that its intrinsic merits demand it
should.
The discussion Of the elementary princi-
pies of government cannot too often occupy
the attention of the people. 4 proper under
Standing of them viii, in great measure, re-
strain impulsive, arbitrary and unjust legisla-
tion, and it will give our laws that stability,
equality and conservatism which Is the end OF
good government, and should be the object
of all legislation. The history of the legis-
Iation Of this State, as exsmpli6ed in its vol
umes of enactments, which have proved al
most as transitory as the passing wind, is an
illustration in point Of the evil and folly Of
the hasty and inconsiderate exercise of legis-
latiys functions.
We again commend the able opinion OF
Judge Perkins to public attention, and repeat
that we regard it Of high value and impor-
lance, especially as the principles discussed
by him in the opinion will probably be re-
viewed by the Legislature of next winter
with reference to legislative action.

DRAINING OKEFEEoKEs SwAMP.-In pur-
suance of the action OF the Georgia Legis-
lature, the Governor of that State has ap-
pointed Mr.. Hunter, an experienced engineer
of Milledgeville, to survey the Okefenokee
Swamp, for the purpose of determining,
among other things, the feasibility of drain
ing 1t, and thus preparing the way for its sale
and cultivation. Mr.. Hunter is now in Sa-
vannah with corps of assistants, on his way
to the swamp, to enter Immediately on the
discharge of his duty. That great body of
waste land contains about half million of
acres of the richest soil in Georgia. 1t lies
between the rivers st. Mary and Suwannee.
The question to be determined is, whether
the bed of the swamp is higher than either
of these, so as to admit of the water being
drained into either or both.
