THE Massachusetts, Legislature is called
upon by the press of that State TO investigate
charges of indecent conduct ON the part of
certain of its members. The most notorious
case is that of Mr.. Hoyt, of Athol, the gen.
tleman who has the unenviable notoriety OF
being the originator of the resolution censur-
ing Senator Sumner. The charge is that, on
Friday last, he came into the House, return
ing from dinner given by the "loyal SOL
diers" who felt insulted by Mr.. Summers
resolution, so intoxicated as to be maudlin
and disgusting. He entered at once upon
the debate before the House, and behaved in
a manner SO disgraceful that an adjournment
was moved and carried, in order TO put an
end TO the scene. He is the Republican
leader OF the House, and consequently ne
censure is passed upon him. This is the
man who has led Massachusetts into the dis
graceful act Of censuring Charles Summer

State must be of their leader and Of the az,

begin with attempting TO use the same Ian

pain KILLER

here can be no necessity, at this late
day, Tor the press to speak in commendatory
terms of this remarkable medicine, in order
TO promote its sale; for it is a medicine that
is known and appreciated the wide world
through. Whenever we speak OF the Pain
Killer, as in the present instance, we do so
in behalf Of the afflicted, rather than with
the vitw of advancing the interests OF its
propriciors For various diseases. such as
rheumatism, cholera, cholera-morbus. bu. ms,
spraus, bruises, and so OF to the end ofthe
catalogue, We are convinced that there is no
remedy before the people equal to Davis

thousands upon thousands entertain the
same belief Certainly, we cannot refer to
the history of aoy medicine which equals
that of the Pain-kiIler 1t was introduced
in 1910, and from that time to this its sale,
both at home and abroad has constantly
and rapidly increased. and We rejoice at the
high reputation it has achieved, because
this reputation shows that it has been the
means of relieving vast amount of human
suffering. We hope the present proprie

Elk SENATOR JIM LANE. THE Dor
DER STATE LEADER.

Old Jim Lane stood at the head of the
regime of the Kansas corruptiouists as long
as he lived. Being ably and piously Sec
onded and supported by Pomeroy. The
only difference between Pomeroy and Lane
is, that Pomeroy is sleek and sly, and COW
ers up his tracks, while Lane was bluff and
audacious, and killed those who got on his
trail, which he always left stark plain
Lane sleeps under the shadow of the State
University of Kansas, amid the memories
that he made famous aud that made him
great He was great man. it was no
odds how well you kew the intrinsic de-
bauchery of his life or the cursedness of his
character, you could not stand in his rugged
presence without feeling of awe and re-
spect born of admiration for the very quail
tiles 10 him which in other men are despis
ed and loathed. Edwin Forrest was not
his superior in dramatic intensity aud i'm
petuosity. He commanded man as Ii
on or tiger might awe lesser beasts. He
could walk into a crowd that welcomed him
with the blinking of hundred revolver
locks, and in five minutes every man in the
crowd would have spilled the blood right
out of his own heart, in fighting fq0 J i'm
Lane. He could stand mute before his
sing and groaning mob, and in tao minutes
you could have heard the breath of love in
the air rustling the scented tresses of a maid
en- in the hush which would be there He
could stand before au audience, speaking to
them with those great cavernous eyes Of his,
while his lips were shut and still, raise his
hand and every one would rise with his yes
ture; lower his hand, and every one would
sit down obedient to the wonderful cleo
.ricity Of his will. He was one of those men
whose utter failure to comprehend that
there is danger made his courage OF no par
ticular credit to him. His impulses ruled
him utterly, and he never could see any
thing between himselfand the object sought.
If there was any obstacle, he always looked
right ove- or through It with the same un
needing unconceru The possibility that
there was or might be anything which he
could not overcome, was suspicion that his
mind had no room to entertain. And when
he pulled the trigger of his own derringer,
with lis cold muzzle against his lips, | doubt
If be realized tlfStthere was any personal
danger 10 the act. His religion was Gu
rious compound of wondering superstition
aud vague idolatry, devoted to external OBJ
scrvances and forms lie was Methodist,
and his idea of the plan of salvation Was
abe ut as clear as Pawneo comprehension
of the loga:ithmie tables he sees the SUI
veyor using in his computations. But Jicl
Lane corrupted Kansas and laid the foun-
dation of that penalty which eliminated in
the trbulation OF Caldwell and the other ills
and scandals Of the rotten Commonwealth

RIGHTS OF THE HIGHwAY.-Rural
Home expounds the rights of landowners
in the highway as follows: By the owner
of the soil, trespass lies tor an appropria-
,ion of the soil through which the road
passes. The Zee of the highway belongs
to the owner of the adjoining ground, and
the passage right is all which the public
have. 1t is but a servitude or easement
and trespass lies for exclusive appropriation
of the land. The public and tie land
owner each have their rights: the funda-
mental principle Of the common law is rec
ognized by all parts of ,ur country and in
Canada, in relation to the roads, that the
grant of laying out of highway gives only
a right of way to the public, and that the
fee or right of soil remains in the original
owner. The owner of the land, therefore,
retains the right of all mines, quarries,
springs OF water, timber, and earth, for ev-
cry purpose not incompatible with the
public right of way.
