The ROSTERS have about finished the
purpose for which they were intended,
and next week the turkey will be
brought forward Around this tradi-
tional and historic bird the American
people meet as citizens of one country,
and republicans as well as democrats
can partake Of the choice pieces and re-
joice together over Cleveland's cleo
ton. Away with the rooster and the
crow.
st. John has been burned in effigy in
about half a dozen places in this state
by disguised republicans. We have not
heard of Gen. Butler being thus burned
by the democrats. Why don't these
Disguised reps learn lesson of decency
and liberation from the democrats?
These ugly demonstrations are a dis
grace to the state, and we are glad TO
witness the good example set by the
Kansas democracy in refrairing from
Decentralization City Republican.
Two Pottawatomie Indians from their
reserve in this state, accompanied by an
arrived in the city last Sat-
lrday looking for ponies that had been
stolen from their tribe. MeSSrS. Knapp
& Young, horse dealers of this city,
bought some fifty odd head of ponies
short time ago at bargain. They
thought they were buying legiti-
mate property, but it turns out that
he ponies were stolen from the In
lianS. The two braves have recognized
md claimed more than 20 of them.
The others had been sold to different
parties and are hard to trace up. This
will prove quite a loss to some one.

The danger of incidental harm to the
community, or to certain classes of peo-
DE, from the increased use of machin-
Try, the extension of public works, etc., .
S greatly diminished when those who ,
make the laws, and especially those ,
whose duty it is to interpret them, rec
,gniZe that law is a progressive science;
hat it is means, not an end; that
when state of things arises for
which there is no precedent new one
must be made. How the most enlight-
med jurists hold this principle con-
tantly in view, and how the common
IS well as the statute law is thus made

Iapital before the Law" by Judge T.

ributes some suggestive Notes on !
