JUDICIAL WISDOM.


EDIroR OF The CnEF:-Your note on the rape case
lately disposed of in Brown County hardly does justice
to the subject and possibly not to the able jurst whose
ruling you ridieule.
Section 3 of Chapter 81 Gen. Statutes provides that
every person who shall purpose and Of malice afOre-
thought shoot stab another assduh or beat
other nth deadly treapon by other means or force
likely produce death great bodily HARM with intent
to kill main, ravish, rob, shall be punished, &C.
Section H. of the chapter, provides for the pun
ishment unarmed assault with intent to commit
robbery rape burglary manslanghter other felony
the punishment which herenbefore prescribed
&C., &C.
Now it would seem to the non njudicial mind the Of
fenses Section % are resovabe into the follow ng
LIST. To shoot at stab another with malice afore-
thought 3D. To assault or beat another with deadly
weapon Tor with any other force likely pro
duce death great bodily harm) with intent to KILL
to MAIN, to ravish, or to rob such person, &c
By this common anayss it will be very difficult

HARD PU sHED.-There are perhaps as many as
half dozen Republican papers in Kansas that
seem to be hard pushed for evidence upon which

Una. the Ishmaelite, Swayze, of the Topeka Blade,
says against leading Republicans. Every man
VINO VIII not let down blood when Swayze
thrusts IN his lance, is bounded and bushwhack-
ed by him necessarily; and the Republican pa
pers spoken of delight in repeating all his stuff.
They are hard up, when their anx;etv IN find
fault with Republicans leads them to folIov in
the wake of man who claims to have he.n dr;v-
en- out of Georgia on account of his Union nr;n-
ciples, aud who, since his visitation upon Kan

inent man in Topeka who has refused to ''come

oeen denounced as a Lottery swindler, and these
lew papers echo the howl. They ought to re-

of chronic dead-beat and notorious black mail

by publicly exhibiting the spot where somebody
kicked him, by way of resenting his slang.

A correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
writing of g. W. Childs' reception at the open
ing of the Centennial Exhibition, says of the
two prominent Presidential candidates "Mr.
Blaine's fine aud striking personal presence in
evitably makes him friends, and an introduction
is almost equivalent to tallying him one more
supporter if he chooses to exert his strong mag
netism' and frank, unsqueamish, American-li
purpose to take care of number one. Mr.. Bris-
tow is not less imposing in solid manliness Of
appearance, or less affable in Introduction, but
is decidedly Indifferent to the main chance. He
went back to his duties yesterday, ahead Of the
President and all the Cabinet save Jewell"

Patience and Long sufering.

Truly, the German voters of the United States
must be good natured and patient people, or
they would sometimes break out in open rebel
lion against shysters and demagogues who seek
to magnify themselves at the expense of the
German element There is more than one man
in America, who, because he happened to be
born in Germany, is endeavoring to build him
self up politically or financially, BY claiming to
possess immense influence over the German vo-
tiers, and using that pretension for his own ben
eft. A notable example is Carl Schurz, who is
eternally holding up the scarecrow of his i'm
meuse influence over the Germans, and threat
ening the Republican party what he will do
with the German vote, if the party doesn't toe
the chalk mark that be has drawn for it. He
has just been at it again. threatening to take the
German vote from the Republican party, if they
dare to regard any man better fitted for the Pres
idency than the man whom he has picked out.
But we will leave Schurz, and come down to
smaller game, nearer home. There is shyster
in Atcbison, named Edward Fleischer, of whom
Germany had the misfortune to be the birth
place; and he makes business Of trading, dick
ering and black k-mailing upon the fact of his Ger
man birth, by the cheeky assumption that he
controls the German vote. He publishes Ger
man paper in Atchison, that he calls q Republi-
can paper, and Democratic paper in Kansas
City. He was in the Greeley movement in 1872,
and probably sold that party ont and supported
Grant before the end Of the campaign. He was
in the Cusey Convention two years ago, but be-
fore the election, for pay, went back on the tick
ct, and supported Os born. He managed to cheek
himself into q Republican nomination for the
L legislature once or twice, but was defeated each
time. This Spring, he demanded two or three
hundred dollars of the Republicans of Atchison,
under penalty of opposing the city ticket. This
amount, he claimed, he had expended in last
Falls campaign, when he was beaten, and that
the Republicans were under obligations to make
it mp to him. Some of the party leaders were
on the point of complying with his demand, in
order to prevent him from throwing the German
vote against their ticket, but one or two men in
terposed and prevented it. Now he has an op
portunity to turn his sluices upon on of these
men, and is plying his black-mailng feeler right
vigorously; but he will hardly get blood there.
Such men are a disgrace to the German ele-
ment The idea that they control any part of
the German vote, is an insult to it. The Ger
mans should publicly repudiate all such unprin-
cipled pretenders.

CABINET CHANGES On Monday, important
changes were made in the Cabinet. Attorney
General Pierrepont was appointed Minister to
England; Judge Taft, Secretary of War; was sp-
pointed Attorney General; and J. d. Cameron,
The first two are good appointments, but the
last is of piece with Grants peculiar choice of
advisers, by which be has brought so much dis
grace upon his administration. The only quail
fcation that Cameron is known to possess for
the Office, is being the son of Simon Cameron.
But perhaps Simon said wig wag, and Grant wig

the Southwest, the Wichita Eagle says that one
day last week fourteen quarter sections were ta-
ken and filed upon in Sedgwick county at the
United States Land Office. This, says the EaqIe,
means fourteen additional families to the popu-
lation Of Sedgwick county; fourteen more i'm
proved farms in a short time; fourteen more
prosperous men,. whose property will be added
TO the taxable valuation of the county, and the
product of fourteen more fields each of wheat,

JOHN DOE.

A CENTENNIAL JOB FOR KASsAs-Tbe Law
renee Journal predicts that Kansas will give the
largest Republican majority next November, for
the Presidential and State tickets, that she has
ever given; that the Republicans will elect two
thirds of both branches of the Legislature; that
the Republicans will elect every member Of Con-
gress and that nine-tenths of all the County
officers elected will be Republicans. This would
be pretty fair showing for any other State in
the Union, but as Centennial job for Kansas,
it is really no better than could be expected.
