Every violation of the law, whether it be

should be visited by the penalty prescribed
for it, and none should be so high that the
law cannot reach them, nor so low that it
will not protect them.

The Insane at One Mercy of Bummers.

Monticello Herald.
1t would seem that political chicanery
ought to stop short of the point where the
comfort of helpless human beings is involved,
but Democratic legislation contemplates no
limit to the fight for spols, and the result in
this instance is that 1500 unfortunates OF
this State are now placed at the mercy OF po-
litical scavengers bummers and vote-buyers.
The people of the State ought not to rest
until such legislation is remedied and the
authors of it rebuked.

The political party which labors under the

adopts code of principles antagonistic to
the careful, prudent and humane manage
ment of our asylums for the deaf dumb,
blind and insane, and makes the manage
ment of those institutions a stencil in the
nostrils of the people, is a party without a
just claim upon the good will or sufferance of
the people, and should be SO informed in a
forcible and tangible way. A political party
if good for nothing if not good to administer
the affairs of the State in an honest and eco

a MISREPRESENTATION.

The editor of the Republican, who is
the agent of the Kansas & Missouri
Press association at this point. places
Emporia in the false light of having re-
pudiated prohibition by telegraphing
over the country that the election held
in this city on Tuesday was an anti-rro
hibItion victory. The falsity of such &
representation is well understood here,
where i; is known that prohibition was
not the issue at stake, but we are sutfi-
GENTLY interested In the fair fame of our,
town to place this matter IN the proper
light among our neighbors, who are not
so well acquainted with. the animus
which prompted this SANDER on
Emporia by the author of
the dispatch which classes
her among the towns which are opposed
to the enforcement of the temperance
law.
The facts in the case are, as all our
citizens know, that the committee of
twenty, who acted for the temperance
people, endorsed only six candidates
among the twelve who were on the
ticket Ofthese, two were elected and
and received the largest vote of any of
the candidates in the field. Their can
didate tor mayor was not, in any sense
of the word, a representa-
tive OF prohibition, and a
spokesman for the committee of twenty
disclaimed, through the columns of the
Republican, that he was put forward as
temperance candidate. 1t has been
proven by this paper again and again
that of the two candidates for mayor the
successful one has the best record On
the temperance question, and as he has
pledged himself to enforce the temper
ance law, and received the votes OF
many of the most consistent temper
ance men IN Emporia, we have firm
faith in the fulflllment of his word.
We have taken occasion to speak
with three of the councilmen elected
and all of them express themselves as
being cordially in favor of the inforce-
ment of all the laws and ordinances OF
the city, and as they are all gentlemen Of
responsibility and integrity we believe
they will be as good as their word
There can be no question but that the
sentiment of this community fayors the
policy of prohibition, and fair fight
on this issue made by
representative candidates will carry
the day against the advocates of free
whiskey every time.
If it shall prove that the temperance
cause Was worsted in the engagement Of
Tuesday, it will be attributable to the
fact that it was injudiciously brought
into fight which involved other inter
ests besides the advancement OF great
moral principle, aud which had the
inevitable tendency to divide the forces
which are wont to labor shoulder tC
shoulder on this issue.

Mr.. Barnes, who gives place to Judge
Elstun, proved one of the most honest

room for criticism save at ihe hands OF

A RsmarkabIa Case.


The supreme court on Thursday
rendered decision again in favor of
Mrs. E. S. Manning and against N. E.
Weaver and others, This has been a re-
markable case in some respects. 1t was
commenced by George Brown, as ad-
ministrator, in September, 1879, and
about 80 head of fine cattle taken by
replevin from Mrs. Manning. A trial
was had the next year and the jury dis
agreed. In the following fall another
trial was had and the verdict was for
Mrs. NJ. The next year when the case
was called for trial, Brown, by his at
torneys, dismissed his case, holding on
to the cattle. Mrs. Manning then sued
Browns bondsmen, N. E. Weaver and
II. B. Lowe tor the value of her cattle
and damages. The case then went to
the supreme court on question ol
law and was decided there for Mrs
Manning. In March, 1882, a trial was
had in the district court. before q jury,
and the verdict was again in Mrs. Man
ning's favor. 1t was supposed that this
would be the end of the matter, but the
defendants were not content and took
the case second time to the supreme
court of the state, and that court decid-
ed the case yesterday as stated, IN favor
of the plaintiff, Mrs. Manning.
The friends on both sides have beer
deeply interested in the result, which is
now settled forever. The attorneys have
devoted much time to this case and
