EDITORIAL NOTES.

A queer suit has been brought in Kansas City man who was a candidate for ju- dicial position before Democratic nominat- ing convention and failed to realize his am- bition, has sued the Kansas City Times on the ground that but for the opposition of that journal he would have received the nom- ination. Damages are laid at $4,ooo, which is the amount of the salary of the office which the plaintiff coveted.
 The New Orleans Times believes that there are forces now at work which will destroy the political solidity of the South great deal sooner than Malone and free use of the Federal patronage can destroy 1t. 'lm- migration, education and business prosperity are the enemies of Bourbonism; and are more potent agencies for working political revolution in the South than all the schemes which politicians can concoct."
 The Iowa Supreme Court has decided that a railroad company in that State is absolutely liable for all damages from fire traceable to locomotive sparks. The case in which the decision is announced involves even the ques tion of remote or indirect damages. It was a suit by the owners of an elevator, which caught fire from another elevator, and that one had been fired by a locomotive spark. The same law would make a company liable for whole city, if the confagration spread from 8 spark.

 Some of the Nihilists who are known as ssFederalists' have drawn up scheme of reorganiza ion which they propose to bring forward after the destruction of the present political regime According to this scheme Russia would be split up into number of small free States, which would only be con- nected with each0ther by a Congress and a President, like the United States of North America Small and elf-governing commu- nal States are, they say, the primitive forms of Russian political life; it was only Ivan the Terrible and his successors who, with the help of the Tartars, created the present cen- tralized and autocratic empire.

BRINGING DESTITUTE SICK TO
TOWN.

On Sunday, a sick and destitute
colored woman, was brought into the
city, in wagon controlled by JUS
tice A. H. Miller. The wagon was
standing near the Court House when
the Mayor reached it. A halt sister
OF the poor woman declared her ina
bility and unwillingness to take her
to her house, SO that no alternative
was lett the Mayor but to send the
very sick woman to the city hospital,
else to order the driver to take her
back over the nine miles of road over
which she had been brought.
The Mayor followed the promptincs
of humanity and instructed Admin
istrator of Police, Hillen, to have her
taken to the hospital and to hold the
wagon and team till the owner would
appear
On yesterday Justice A. II. Miller
appeared before the Mayor and sta
ted that he had control of the team
and wagon.
The examination, while it showed
that the parties who brought the wo-
man to the city, had been induced to
believe that she would be received by
relatives, also showed thatMr. Miller
knew that the wagon would be used
for the purpose Of bringing her to this
city, an act which is in contrayen-
ton with its ordinance, which makes
the owner or driver of any convey
ance, liable to pay fine Of twenty
five dollars, who brings a destitute
sick person within the city limits.
The Mayor stated that Mr.. Miller.

Whoever would keep his promises
must be cautious in making them. In
one minute man can make an engage
ment involving, to perform it properly,
months labor. Men who arc stigma
tized as unfaithful, and commonly be-
lieved to be liars, are often victims of
hastily-made promises. But when a
promise is made, an honorable man will
strain every nerve to keep it.

AS much as he likes whisky, Mr.. Nye

suddenly appeared on the back porch
of the Nye house, where Mr.. Nye was
taking his noon-day nod, and pinioned
him to his chair, Then Isabel tied her
fathers feet, hands and body with a
rope, her lover holding a revolver at his
head, and mounting horses, the daring
runaways fled to the mountains.

The New Orleans Democrat, ii al
article which does not favor an ex.
ira session OF the Legislature, has fol
it's strongest argument the matter Of
its cost, which it says, will amount to
| probably fifty thousand dollars. Ii
also doubts the ability of that body
to frame the required legislation
within the twenty days prescribed by
the constitution.
If the Assembly is called to meet
at New Orleans, we concur with the
views OF our contemporary. AS usu-
al, the chambers will be called to or
derat II M., amid the bee of in
terested lobbyists. Adjourning at
four. the members will go to their
line dinners. Later on, instead Of
going to the committee room where
most OF the work is done, they'll go
to the theatres or other places of
amusement.
The State can't afford to give any
more holidays to her legislators.

After January lst, the public in-
stitutions of the State, will be with
out funds to maintain their inmates
who will have to be sent home, or
thrown upon the cold charity of the
world.
The letees will be unprovided for.
State ohicialsand employees, Judg-
es etc., will have no other recourse
than to pledge vouchers at a heavy
discount to the brokers of Caronde-
let Street.
The rebuilding of the Capitol will
have to be suspended, as soon as the
loan OF fifty cents on the dollar, on
State warrants has been exhausted.
Louisiana can easily meet her ne
cessary expenses of government, if in
telligent legislation is had.
The people are tired of this disgust
ing brokerage business with theirState
warrants, and they want to see the
dollar they pay, go to the person who
is entitled to it instead of seeing half
of it go to the brokers.
