A PASSAGE IN HUMAN LIFE.
Fniay there passed through this
city Que OF those conyeyances which are
known In Kansas as @prairie schooners,"
whose occupants were on their way
from Colorado TO PaOla, where they
formerly resided. In the front part Of
the wagon were two women, sustaining
the relation OF mother and daughter, the
latter of whom was driving q pair Of
faded horses. In the rear Of the We

THE JAMES TRIAL.

The acquittal OF Frank James, at Gal

pointment to the friends of law and or
der throughout the country. The priso-
ner at the bar represented an element of
lawlessness which has been for many
yeArs- 9 standing reproach TO the com
monwcalth OF Missouri, and the hope
was very generally cherished that the re-
suit Of the trial would be such as to vim
dictate the dignity and honor of that
state. The evidence, in the judgment of
those who followed it closely, seemed TO
leave no question as to the guilt OF the
accused, but such a semblance Of doubt
as the counsel for the defense were able
To create in the minds of the jury has
been given to the defendant and he stands
cxonerated in the eyes of the law. There
are other charges upon which he will be
tried, and the influence which the result
of this first prosecution will have up
on the cases which follow. remains to be
seen.
We believe that 1t is but fair to add
In this connection that the finding of
the jury IN THE case Is by no means a
reflection of popular sentiment in the
sections of Missouri most interested in
the result OF abe trial. and that It will
prove a source Of regret and chAgrin
throughout the state. 1t will tend, In
the eyes of the outside world, to hasten

The Shawnee county Republicans,
with gratifying unanimitY, have nomi-
mated ticket which Is supported by
both the Capital and Commonwealth,
which papers are generally more or les
divided on local politics. This indicates
concession on the part of both
prohibitionIsts and snti-prohibitIonists
IN the interest Of harmony
that is commendable and worthy Of
emulation. We really fail 20 see how
any possible good can accrue to the Re
publican patty by allowing this issue 70
be dragged into the canvass this fall.
The question Of prohibition has been
settled not only by statutory
enactment. but by constitutional provl-
sion, and the law against the
traffic in liquors in this state is Just as
binding as that against any other crime
named in the statute books. The best
method Of securing its enforcement is
by the careful education of popular sen.
tIment, and by continuing in power the
party which is responsible for The adop-
tion OF this policy. A division among
Republicans augments the chances for
Democratic success and We have had an
example of what that means, 30 far as
the temperance cause is concerned.
There is. happily, very gepeial dis.
position Hll over the state among Repub-
licsns this fall to meet on friendly
grounds and unite in common cause
against the enemy. 1t is good time TO
organize for an effective campaign next
year. and TO retrieve the results of last
years reverses. There 10 safety, we be-
lieve, to ell Of the best interests OF the
state in the supremacy of the Republi-
can party, and this can only be main
tanned by harmony within its own ranks.
The general demand all along the line
this fall for the nomination Of straight
Republican tickets for county officers is
an omen of cheer for the party. and indi-
eates that the rank and file Of the old Or
ganizati IN are weary Of disssnsions
which can result In nothing but defeat.
