No sympathy with Outlaws.

KANSAS CITY, May I.
A mass meeting was held last night in
the Board of Trade Hall, Mayor Bullene
presiding, to inderse the action of Governor
Crittenden with reference to his course to-
ward the train robbers. Speeches were
made by Mayor Bullene, Major Warner,
Colonel Twitchell, Sheriff Tint erlake, who
was fairly pushed upon the stage, and many
others. Immense enthusiasm prevailed, and
the following resolutions were adopted with
cheers:
Whereas The press has made several charg
eS that the people of Western Missouri are in
sympathy with train robbers and bandits;
and
Whereas, Other portions of the press have
INDUCED In adverse criticisms upon the course
OF our Executive officers in the means adopt
James therefore,
ResolUed. That, feeling the disgrace and the
D OIL erfects OF br1gandage and crime as
the valuable efforts of our officers in breaking
up this band of robbers and outlaws who have
SO long preyed upon the country, stained our
good name, checked our prosperity and dis
turbed our peace and safety, and we pledge
co operation and support in their fur,
ther steps to rid the State of the last
trace of the lawless bandits who have com
m1tted so many crimes in midst. One
year ago this portion of Missouri was terror
lied by an organized band of robbers, COM
pOScU OF the 1OllOWlng members: Jesse James,
Frank James, Ed Miller, VIM. Ryan, Clarence
Hite, Dick Liddel Wood Hite and Charles
Ford. The present attitude and disposition
OF the band is more interesting and is tol-
lows: VIM. Ryan and Clarence Hite are each
serving their terms of twenty-five years in
the Missouri Penitentiary: Dick Liddel and
Charles Ford have surrendered, and are as
sisting the officers, and by the efforts of the
officers in creating dStrust and enmity
among the gang, Jesse James, Ed Miller and
Wood Hite have been killed by their com
rades; therefore
ResotUed, That the thanks of all law-abid-
ing people are due, and the thanks of this as
semblage are hereby rendered, to the officers
of the law, and especially to Governor Crit
tenden, Commissioner III. III. Craig, Sheriff
James r. Timberlake and Prosecuting Attor-
ney w. H. Wallace for their perseverance,
energy and success in thus far overthrowing
and destroying outlawry and crime in Mis-
souri,, and we assure them that we will at all
times sustain them and hold their hands up
in all their efforts to suppress crime and pun
Ish criminals; that Missouri must and shall
be safe abiding place for all good people,
and to all such we extend a cordial welcome
to our midst and we pledge to them the ut
most security in person, property and life;
ana to that end we declare our hostility to
and adherence of crime and outlawry of all
kinds, and that have no sympathy with
either bandits criminals of any class,
their aiders, abettors or apologists, and will
tolerate neither,

THE Washington Post makes the fol-
lowing positive statement: Chief Justice
Carter and Judges Macarthur, Hagner and
James held a consultation on the 18th, sum-
ming up arguments of counsel in the apppli-
cation in the Guiteau case for new trial.
The consultation lasted four hours, and was
marked by the most searching examination
of the authorities and most rigorous analy-
Els of every point made in the arguments.
The Judges were in thorough harmony all
through, not differing in the general steps by
which a decision was reached, although, of
course, each Judge had individual opinions
on the various points of law and their APP
plication. The decision affirms the sentence
of the Court below, of course overruling the
exceptions, and will be announced May %.
This disposes of Guiteau's last chance. He
will be hanged June so, 1882.

NEWS AND NOTES.

A Summary of Important Events.
The home journal. (Winchester, Tenn.) 1858-188?, 1882-06-21
Affecting the English,

II has been apparent to people in the
East for some time that English man
ncrs, customs, and styles of dress are
making large impression on the inhab-.
itants Of the great seaport towns. Aping
the English is common. Business and
society drift into English ways. Minds
begin to have English expressions and
the thought is tinged by English sonti-
ment. Even the New York newspapers,
which ought to be purely American in
idcas, ara drifting into English ways.
Wo see the slow old methods developing
gradually in the metropolitan newspa-
pers Of New York and Boston. Some
minds naturally pay tribute to the old
and conservative. Some run thai way
because it is easy and successful. Others
initiate because they are natural toadics.
Even Bret Harte, the product of the
West, has, since his brief stay in Europe
become thoroughly Englishized The
same charge is also preferred against
Lowell. Concerning Bret Harte an OK
change says: "Ono of the most intense
and unspeakable Englishmcn have seen
since struck London is Mr.. Bret Harte
There was once an American of that
name who wrote stories aud poems which
were successful, and one or two plays
which were not There is general be-
lief in London that tho Bret Harte who
is over here is the Bret Harte who did
all that fine writing in America. He
doesn't look it, His hair is white, and
his face is rcd enough to enrago the
tamest bull in the world. He wears n
section of window-pane in one eye,
and talks with la-de.da accent that
would infinitely amuse the friends of the
Harte we used to know. This one trains
with my lord this, and the earl of that,
and talks big things of magazines he is
going to start. He is a United States
Consul at Glasgow, or somewhere, and
is just pining away with anxiety to live
there. But somehow, he is seen oitenest
in London. | saw him in box in
theatcr one night, looking quite utterly
too too, bored over play which | was
plebeian enough to be interested in. It
is the fashion over here to be bored-or
to look it, il you're not. This Mr.. Harte
is very fashionable, and likewise very
bored"

there is only one goldfish that all germs
lived, and that space furnished matter,
as the fishes furnished eggs. On the

hold this fish on the palm of your hand,
walk out on a pier, and drop the cod into
the sea. Then fly. Under your feet in

ing the globe and overlapping the loft
lest peaks of Colorado. With the speed
of light fly. Through the depths of

Of cod is after you, and on the morning

you and engulf you in Onon's rebula 4!
