bons about the coarse shroud. The
brown hair was laid decently back,
but there was no crimped cap with
neat tie beneath the chin. The

cried the helpless orphan, cluching
the side of the charity box, and as
he gazed upon the rough box, agon-
lied tears streamed down the cheeks
on which no childish bloom ever
fingered. Oh! it was painful to
have him cry the words. Only once
let me see mother, only once!"
Quickly and brutally the heartless
monster struck the boy away, so
that he reeled with the blow. For
a moment the boy stood painting
with grief and rage-his blue eyes
distended, his lips sprang apart. fire
gllttered through his eyes as he
raised his little arm with most un-
childish laugh and screamed, "When
I'm q man I'll be revenged for
that"
There was a coffin and a heap Of

poor forsaken child-a monument

the boys heart the memory Of the
heartless deed.

THE JOHN FOSTER CASE FINALLY
DISPOSED or.


In our issue of yesterday appeared
among the kilograms from Washing
ton, ID. c., the decision rendered by
the Supreme court Of the United
States in the case Of the State Of Kan
sas VS.. John Foster, formerly county
attorney Of Saline county. After FOs,
fer was removed from his Office, upon
the ground of his refusal to perform
his duty, by the Supreme court Of this
State, he appealed the case to the Su-
preme court Of the United States. He
claimed that the Judgment Of re-
moval against him should be reversed
upon two grounds: First that the pro-
hibitOry liquor law was uncOnstitu-
tlonal and, second, that the proceed
ings against HIM Of gilO trdTTdHtO were
criminal in their nature, and there
fore that he ought to have been tried
in Saline, instead of Shawnee county.
The Supreme court Of the United
States decided against him or both Of
the objections, and held that the pro-
hibitoTy liquor law was not i'm viola
tion Of the constitution of the United
States and further held that the quo
tUdTTdntO proceedings were not crim-
inal in their nature, and therefore
that his trial i'm this city was legal in
all respects. This decision Of affirm
anee finally dispOses OF all matters
growing out OF the Foster prosecution.
Several days ago, the Supreme court
of the United States dismissed all pro-
ceedings against his successor in Office,
Joseph Moore, and now Il afiirms,
upon the merits, the judgment of GUS
ter against him. At the time Of the
decision of the Supreme court Of our
State removing Foster, several news
papers Of the State criticised the judg-
ment, but the decision Ofthe Supreme
court Of the United States fully vindi-
Gates that tribunal.
Foster has been unsuccessful in ali
his liIigatiens. Not only this, but
upon q contest between himself and
Joseph Moore for the Office of county
attorney before the people of Saline
county ut the late election. he has been
signally defeated. The unfortunate
condition in which Foster is left by
the decisions Of the courts and the YER
dict Of the people OF his own county
against him ought to be a warning to
him and all other public officials in
the State, that neither the courts nor
the people will permit officers to dis
regard their official duties, or violate
their Oaths Of Office.

Kanaas City Journal.
The political situation In New York
remains unchanged, both parties still
claiming the state with seemingly
equal confidence. II any one Is dis
posed TO think that actual doubt does
not exist In regard to the result II
would be well for such person to ex-
anime the tables made up by the diff
erent papers In New York City.
The largest plurality for Cleveland
Is claimed by the New York Herald,
being 1906 and the smallest by the
Sun, being 1,19l. The Republicans
still claim from 600 to 900 plurality
for Blaine and their table shows Gl9.
The Sun, Herald and Times all
agree in giving Cleveland q plurality
and strange 70 say, on claim OF
official figures by each there Is con-
siderable In these figures.
The Herald gives Blaine q plurality
Of 2, ,7Ss In Allegheny county while
the Sun puts Il at 2,SO2. The Herald
gives Blaine / ,246 IN Cortland county
against / ,284 by the SRn. In Essex
county the Herald puts Blaine's plu-
rality at $50, while the Sun has II
800, or q difference Of $50. The Re
publican plurality in Fulton and
Hamilton counties Is placed by the
Herald at 995, while the Suns figures
are 1904.
The Herald has Cleveland's plural
ity In Kings county l,I23 against Is,
43I In the Stfn, or a difference against
Cleveland Of 292 il the SUn's figures
were correct. There is a small disa-
gTeement In regard to Madison county
also In Montgomery.
The Sun, Herald and Times agree
in regard to Cleveland's plurality in
New York, placing 1t at 1925. We
now know that they are all mistaken
in regard to these figures. A mistake
Of 425 has been found which, we un.
deFstand, Is admitted by both parties,
and reduces the actual plurality in
New York county to AZ, Sol. This
one acknowledged error reduces the
SUMS claimed plurality to T66. Who
knows that other errors will not wipe
out the 766, as the Republicans claim
they do.
TheHeraLd gives. Blalne.6 ,975 plural
ity in st. Lawrence against 7,49S by
the Sun, O difference Of 523. The Re
publican figures are 7,34l. The Her.
aid has a plurality OF s67 for Cleve-
land In SchOharie, while the Sun
makes 1t 1857. The Republican fig
ures agree with those given by the
Sun The Herald puts Cleveland's
plurality In Suffolk at 503, the Sun
puts Il at 598. The difference between
the two estimates is 100 In Westches-
ter.
We have only given the large diff
erenees here. There are any number
Of instances where figures differ from
five 10 twenty votes.
OF course all the tables mentioned
widely disagree with the Republican
pluralitles as claimed by the national
committee, and we only call attention
70 these differences to establish the
fact that no table or set Of tables can
claim accuracy.
The work Of casting out all that is
false in each one Of these tables and
substituting correct figures will COM
menee to-day.
If the errors favor Cleveland and
fix his election, submission on the
part Of Republicans will be In order.
But we shall not be surprised II q
clear plurality Is found to exist for
Mr.. Blaine.

SHOULD Cleveland be seated in the
Presidential chair he would not re-
main there longer than his term Of
four years. After that the country
would be more than willing TO return
to Republican rule. During the four
years the Rebel-DemOcrat element
would have such a prepOnderance Of
power as to control everything. Rebel
bonds would rise in value In the mar
ket. Possibly the rebel soldier would
be pensioned for his services in the
late war. While Cleveland himself
might not approve Of all this, he could
not prevent it. The Southern Demo
Gratis would have the majority, and for
their acts the administration would
become responsible. The people, tir-
ing Of rebel rule, would be more than
anxious for the restoration Of a Re-
publican administration. There has
not been a Democratic success any
where but that the old rebel yell
has been heard again. The rebel flag
and the hurrah for JEFF Davis are con-
spicuous in hundreds Of Cleveland
ratifications II is this kind Of pro-
cedure which would disgust the patri-
otic American heart, and surely re-
store the Republican party 10 power.
