GOVERNOR IRELAND
Governor Ireland Is the architect OF his
own political fortune. He can make or ur-
make himielf, politically, within the next
three months All the talk heretofore
about his failure 10 send out an army to
suppress ieDos-custers h,s gone 10 at one
ear and ont nc the other with all sensible
thinking people. He could do nothing
more than execute the law u he found II.
But the law has been recently chsngec, and
a degree Of responsibility Ia regard to its
execution, never before placed upon
chief executive OF this state, now rests on
Governor Ireland. lie has $4,000 placed
at his command, with large discretionary
powers in its use, for the purpose OF eniorc'
Ing obedience to the new laws. OF course,
IL public sentiment rebels and does not up
hold and gu tain those laws the governor
will be powerless to execute them, though
he we're authorized 10 draw on the treasury
for million dollars for that purpose. Bnt
we believe tho great body of the
people are sick and tired of internal
strife and are anxious to assist the
authorities in the execution of the lave.
Public sentiment co far as the Ireland ad.
mipistration is concerned is favorable, bat
the popular verdict is by no means fully
made UP. Much is depending upon the
a yelopm.nts OF the next three months.
Prompt, vigorous action on the part OF the
governor IN the enforcement OF the lag will

eds and rally the better part OF the people
