We suppose that Governor Click, in
pursuance Of his stated purpose. is Civ
ing his careful attention TO the facts
submitted by the attorneys for the state
and the defense In the Macke case, 10
connection with the application which
has been made for the pardon of that
hardened offender against the prohib-
itory law. What with the petition for
warded In the prisoners behalf TO To-
peka, the remonstrance against the re-
mission OF his fine and the affidayits Of
the council in the case, Mr. Click will
probably not feel disposed 20 render 9
hasty judgment in this case, and we
trust he may do hImself-the justice to
give the facts thorough investigation
before taking action In this matter.
There is one thing which cannot be
denied and which his excellency should
not fail TO bear in mind In the consider
ation Of this case, and that is that Macke
has been q persistent offender against
the Law, and has ever since the passage
Of the prohibitory amendment and the
law providing for its enforcement been
guilty OF open revolt against the state
authorities. and never ceased TO defy the
law until he was incarcerated IN the
county jail. Now, concerning
the legal points of this case,
Il has been asserted that Mr.. Macke ibid
not, knowingly, relinquish his right to q
trial in the district court, or refuse OF
neglect the necessary legal methods OF Sc
curing such trial"
1t has also been stated that "the Law
questions herein before mentioned were
taken under advisement by the court
and were decided in about one year."
We think the necessary legal meth.
ods'' for Macke 10 have adopted was the
fling of an appeal bond: BE
resorted 90 Aa5eas corpus, however. A
few dates will be refreshing, and they
are these: On the 221 of May, 1882
Macke was convicted. Oa the 1st OF
August, 1888, the writ of Aabeds cOrpu,
was issued, and whether the court tool

can't say, but the court decided agains
the writ and remanded Macke TO jai
August II, 1888. On the 9Th of Novem
Der. 1888, the supreme court decided
against Mr.. Macke. On the 10Th o
November, 1883. Macke brought al
Injunction suit against the state. Mack,
never prepared a bond for appeal till il
November or December. 1888, and tina
bond was never approved.
We may add that the sentiment Of thi
community is practically unanimou
against the pardon of Macke, and 50 ia
are the people from regarding him as
victim Of persecution, that the genera
belief is that he Is only reaping what h
has sowD, and cannot in any sense b

4 MISTAKE

The acquittal of young Mutt for the
killing of Dukes loses much of Its sig
nIficance by reason of the plea of tenn
porary insanity put in by his lawyers.
There can be no doubt that the young
mans mind was intensely affected by
the acquittal of Dukes for killing Cap.
tain Mutt, and the discovery of the bru-
tai letter in which Dukes undertook to
destroy the character of the young wo-
maa he had courted for his wife.
Young Mutt was further provoked by
the conduct of Dukes, who grinned at
him in derision and contempt whenever
they met.
Here was provocation enough for a
less sensitive person tn sn Mutt. The
effect upon him was to deliberately load
his revolver, and, seeking for Dukes,
empty its contents into his worthless
carcass before he had time to draw his
own weapons. Dukes was shot down
because he was q murd erer and de
spicable slanderer, and because jury
had failed TO return a yerdi.t in accor-
dance with the law and the facts. II
was as gross miscarriage of justice as
ever was known in this country.
No jury that could have been impas.

victed young Mutt of murder. and his
lawyers made mistake IN not putting

convict for murder, and worse than mu7-
der, he who is most deeply wounded by
its iueficIency is justified in inficting

plosion occurred at s O'Clock this MORN

of the explosion, and have been rescued.
One of these is dead and all the others
badly injured. There are fifly-six men
yet IN the mine, and can't be reached.

Trowbridge, Long, Washburn, the mis-

medicine almost every day for six
weeks, and often many times day,
with rarely failure, at the second

Diet.-In the prevalence of cholera
the great safee yards are cleanliness
everywhere in everything, and a mod
crate, simple, nutritious diet. Cucum-
bers, melons and all hard, unripe fruits
had better be adjourned until the
scourge has passed. If the intemper-
ate man must drink, he will benefit So
ciety by going it strong in cholera
times. Indeed, some scientists have
defended cholera as a useful agent in
sweeping off the dregs of society. 1t
generally begins with them, but does
not stop with them. | would eXhort
every user of alcoholics, or malt liq-
uors, to abandon them at once and they
will double their chances of escape.
The diet of invalids, of those at
tackled, must be learned from your
physician. In the East, rice very thor
oughly cooked. or rice water so thick
as to be nutritious and seasoned with
salt, sweetened if the patient likes, is
much relied upon till the patient can
take rice soup clear of all fat, and
gradually return to solid food.
Ihirst.-The patient will suffer sharp
ly from this, and it will be his chief
source of danger. Thousands bring on
fatal relapse by Welding to the de-
mands of thirst. Gargling the throat
with cold water, an occasional table
spoonful of chamomile tea, excellent
every way, or of rice water, or small
pieces of ice in the mouth and infinite
patience, are the chief alleviations. In
twenty-four hours the thirst will begin
to abate.
BE thoroughly prepared for the chol-
era and it will not come to you.

jersey Legislation.

The cigarette and the small boy
threaten to become inseparable com
panions in this city, greatly to the in
jury of the small boy-physically, in
telectually, and morally. But in New
Jersey the Legislature proposes to in
tervene between cigarette and boy. 1t
has just passed law forbiddine the sale
of cigarettes to minor under sixteen
years of age, with penalty of $50 for
each offence. 1t is to be hoped that
this wise legal restraint of one of the
most vicious of habits will be thor
oughly enforced. Moral suasion is lost
on the reckless little scapegrace whose
ideal of manly performance consists in
his ability to curl curriculean clouds of
smoke from burning paper and tobacco
into other peoples faces. The subtle
poison of the cigarette dries up the
blood, breaks down the brain and
nerve, changes the secretions and is
altogether so baleful in its eff
fects upon the youthful system that
often bodily growth is stunted and the
lad remains a dwarf through life. Pa
rents should use their utmost influence
to suppress this practice, which under
mines the growing boy, diminishes his
growth, especially his intellectual pow
ers, and sends SO many of our Ameri-
can youth to the insane asylum. -

Pnblicans in Trouble.

The clause in the new election law
which prohibits the use of hotels and
taverns for meetings of election COM
mttees has spread dismay and indigna-
ton among English publicaus. To
them elections have hitherto been no
small source of profit, and the abolition
of what to candidates and their friends
was more than convenience, while to
the landlords it was source of gain, is
considered by the latter to be especially
hard. TO large number of the "free
and Independent" the new departure
will be equivalent to virtual disfran-
chisement, for, if their votes brought
them no other advantage, they were
always good at election times for as
much beer as they could manage to
swallow.
