Tho announcement Of the death of Susie B.
Keyworth, daughter Of Mr.. John A. Key
worth, will cause profound regret. Miss
Susie was in the 18th year of her age, and

felt sympathy Of all who know them.

harmony rarely heard.

His Ensy. Western Wnx.

Judge Bissell, of Leadville, was decidedly
leisurely, free-and-easy sort of witness yes
terday. He complacently carries somewhat
over 200 pounds of himself, and apparently
puts fairly good estimate upon each pound.
His real testimony amounted to but q few
words, but with some jocoso remarks to the
judge, and banter now and then with the
counsel, he managed to have very pleasant
time Of it. The broad, western ways Of the
Colorado courts have evidently no better rep
resentative than tho portly and complacent

Rochester, N. Y. She was so foolish as to con-
hde in him some Of her distasteful homo ex-
periences, and In gushing frame Of mind to
agree to an elopement, She wrote note to
him which fortunately fell into the hands Of
a real friend to her, and an investigation dis
closed the fact that the man has married
several wives and is the proprietor Of house
Of prostitution. She was glad TO know the
truth in time to save herself Her father is
prominently connected with a street railway,

pertaining to Ireland. Such a move on his
part would almost ce tainly cost him his po-
sition as Premier. But it were more worthy
a statesman of his standing to attempt re-
form by means Of radical nature than to
quietly witness the judicial killing of men
driven to crime by real or imagined wrongs.
Gladstone, or some one of his successors,
will be obliged to solve this question in
some such manner indicated. The British
government is very powerful, and Ireland is
almost completely at the mercy of the En-
glish people. But the spectacle of an out
ragged people driven to crime by
their sufferings and then pun
ished for what they blindly do as
the only possible way of expressing their de-
termination to have their wrongs righted, is
one that the civilized world contemplates
thing that the Irish people should ask the
same political liberty accorded other British
dependencies. There is no sufficient reason
why Ireland should not enjoy the same leg
islative privileges enjoyed by the Dominion
of Canada, and it is wrong to longer deny
such palpable right. Ireland would still
be an integral part of the British kingdom,
and free to act only in affairs pertaining en-
tirely to interests affecting Ireland as dis
tinguished from the remainder of the king
dom. The situation could be made much
the same as is the relationship between the
several States Of the United States aud
the general government In matters
pertaining to the entire kingdom Ireland
would be as much interested and as fully
committed as would be any other portion of
the empire. To rule Ireland absolutely and
tyrannically by laws made in England and by
English people is much the same as if an at
tempt were to be made to rule South Caro-
lima by laws passed in Massachusetts and by
Massachusetts, people. The result might cas-
lily be predicted: the people of Massachu-
sets would not quietly submit to having
their local laws made in South Carolina, nor
would citizens of the latter State be willing
to have their local laws fra1leG and passed in
Bosto''~a EAe.e could be no peace so long
as such an unnatural order of things OBJ
tanned Neither will there be peace in Ire
land until something like just concession
in this matter is accorded the Irish people.
But both parties to the matter must learn
that in some things each is wrong. The peo-
pie of Ireland can not murder their way to
political freedom, nor can the British gov
eminent hang the life out of just and pa
triotc impulse.

did so he replied: "Our people are better
pleased if their representatives refuse to

sectional issues will disappear. The South is

HENDRICKS COUNTY, Dec. 10.
The opinion of Judge Baldwin upon this ques-
ton, given during his term OF Office as Attorney
general-and it has been concurred in by Attor
ney-general Hord-has been published in the
Journal before. The question is common one,
however. and the opinion is, therefore, repro
duced. 'Section LOG of the act of March 20,
1881, (acts 1881, p. 649), provides
that at the general election, 1882 there
shall be elected q township assessor,
who shall hold the office four years and until his
successor is elected and qualified. Section 81
of the act of April 81, 1881 (acts 1884, q. 495),
provides that such general election shall be held
on the first Monday of April, 1882, and every
two years thereafter, for the purpose of elect
ing township officers, including assessors. This
last-named act repeats the former act so far as
there is any conflict between them The only
possible conflict there is between them is as to
the time of holding such election. 1t therefore
follows that township assessors must be elected
at the coming April election, and every four
years thereafter If a vacancy should occur IN
the office of assessor previous to the April cleo
ton of 1854, then such vacancy must be filled
at such election, Notwithstanding a temporary
appointment by the county auditor. The fact
that township elections must be held every two
years, does not limit the term of office of the
assessor to that period. To so construe the law
would be to hold that section 106, so far as it
relates to the length of tie term of such office
by courts.

California, was born in Chiselhurst England, in
1901. He landed in the Golden State III 1917.
HIS first venture was in a schooner, in which he
traded with the Sandwich islands until the Cali
fornia revolution of 1880 diverted his enterprise
to the coast trade. firing of the sea, he resumed
his trade of carpentering in Alta California. and
later he settled on ranch in San Diego county.
Thence he moved, in 1880, to Los Angeles,
where he and his wife are surrounded by their
grandchildren and decentralization.

THE Logansport Journal calls attention to
the different treatment accorded by the
Democratic House of Representatives to the
Danville massacre and to ODoDnell, the
Irish ayenger. The Journal says: "If the
Danvile incident was all the fault of the
negroes as the Democrats have asserted from
the first, why not authorize an investigation
to make the truth clearer than MONDAY?
The negroes who were killed at Danville
were American citizens as well as ODonnell.
Has the color of the vote to be influenced
anything to do with the action of the
House?'

A WRITER in the Chicago Evening News,
believed to be Alexander NJ Sullivan, Presi-
dent OF the Irish Republic, says:
cat last the truth may be told of the kill
ing of James Carey. 1t was not to be told so
long as a shadow of a chance remained to
prevent the sacrifice OF a patriots life for
that of the infamous wretch whom he DELHI
erately swept off the earth. For Patrick
ODonnell did deliberately kill James Carey,
and he deliberately killed him because he
was James Carey. There was no struggle
Carey made no attack on O'Donnell. ODon-
nell never set up the plea of self-defense
Had he been permitted to tell the truth the
tlimsy subterfuge of self-defense would never
have detracted from an act he considered
mertorions in the sight OF God and man.
He knew the consequences of the act, and he
would have manfully accepted them"
1t may be accepted as a fact that DON
nell was an Favenger," and that his killing
of Carey vas just as Mrs. Carey and her son
described it, and in harmony with the theo-
ry OF the English prosecution.
