Little though the people may sympa.
thize with the partisan Republicans who
believe that the South, like the human
heart. is deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked, they must have pity
on the poor fellows when an elaborate
advance on the supposed "Confederacy
in the saddle fails to find any Confeder.
acy. Some Of the Republican papers
have been making much of = claim agents
circular. asking Confederate soldiers to
apply to the Government-which now is
in Democratic hands-for pensions. Yet
the Savannah News, which ought to
know the sentiment of the party and of
the Southern soldiers, alludes to the
scheme as "a game" the schemers as
"~sharpers," and continues. "There is
not the least probability in the world.
hardly . possibility, that Congress will
ever, even in the remote future, pass
such q measure as that contemplated.
There seems to be no desire now among
true patriots, whichever side they fought
on in the late war, to open the doors to
claims of any kind. Up North the de.
mand for pensions to all Union soldiers
appears to come principally from political
demagogues, camp followers and bounty
jumpers. The ext Confederate soldiers
do not ask for any relief from the Gen.
eral Government, although those who are
disabled gladly accept aid from the
States in which they live. No Repre-.
sentative Congressman from the South
would support q measure looking to the
compensation Of ex.conscripts."

Co.EducatiOn in the University

w Z OIlO Vi Vic WlStSG
and most important recommends
tons in the Governors Message, is
that in reference to Co-Education
in the University, and we hope
the Legislature will promptly pro-
vide such legislation as may be
needful in that behalf. We give
here what the Governor says on
this important question:
Section II of article II of the
Constitution provides that "The
Legislature should foster and en-
courage moral, intellectual, scien-
tife and agricultural improve
ments; it shall whenever it may
be practicable make suitable provis-
ion for the organization of such in
stitutions of learning as the best
interests of general education in the
State may demand. This provis-
ion is identical with the provision
of section article 10 of the Consti-
tuition of 1863
In obedience to this plain re-
quirement of the Constitution, as
also in conformity with the act of
Congress donating certain lands,
the proceeds of which constitutes a
large part of it's endowment, the
Legislature did provide for the or
gan;zation of an Agricultural Col
lege at Morgantown
The Legislature subsequently,
changed the College into the Uni
versity, and as such it has receiv-
ed a limited support, but not the
extent of filling the Constitutional
requirement that it be fostered and
encouraged as the best interests
of general education in the States
demand" Its buildings are not COM
pleted, and it is deficient in many
of the appliances necessary to aid
its professors properly to discharge
their duties in their respective
schools.
1t is respectfully submitted that
to enable it to offer to it's pupils
all the advantages that are found
in institutions of like grade it
should be made in fact what it is
in name.
| am of opinion that the time has
arrived for the Legislature to pro-
vide for the co-education of the sex
es in this school. Most of the in
stitutions of learning of the charac-
ter Of this school have inaugurated
the system and find its practical
workings beneficial. In fact this
would seem to be the meaning of
our Constitution. The institution
to be therein provided was to be
such "as the best interests of gen.
eral education in the State may de-
mand," not the education of a part
OF our citizens, but the general
education of all classes, males and
females, are educated together in
our Normal schools, why notin the
University?
We have no educational institu-
ton in this State wherein females
can have the benefit of education
IN the learned professions, and the
higher branches taught in a Uni
Verslty course. I see no reason
why this class of our citizens
should be compelled to 60 abroad
10 obtain such education.

A KANSAS CASE.
The Trial of Mrs. Walkup on a
Charge of Uxorcide.
Evidences of Fraud in the Gin
cinnati Election.
A Man on Trial for Attempting
Suicide.
Mrs. Trial.

EMPoRIA, Oct. 20.-The Walkup case
was resumed at 9 o'clock with a full court
room. Mrs. Walkup was dressed well
and looked the same as yesterday. Coun-
ty Attorney Feigham, on beh alf of the
state, explained to the jury the theory of
the poisoning alleged against the defend
ant. He related substantially the circum-
stances of the marriage, the circumstance
OF sickness and purchase OF poison by
Mn. Walkup. He stated that the state
charged hat Mrs. Walkup married her
husband with the intention of poisoning
him so as to secure the widow portion of
his estates; that she procured poison in
New Orleans and in Cincinnati for that
purpose; hat she administered the poison
which caused his death; and if the state
proved this theory that it would expect
the Jury to find a verdict of guilty. If it
failed to prove the theory, the jury would
Justly acquit the defendant.
At the conclusion OF Col Feigham
address the defendant moved to dismiss
the complaint as without adequate foun-
dation, as shown by the information
which had been detailed to the jury. The
motion was overruled.
The first witness was Eben Baldwin, of
Lawrence. He testified to an acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Walkup; that the latter
was a large, powerfully built man, over
six feet high. broad shouldered, and of
cheerful disposition; he and Mr.. Walkup
went to the New Orleans exposition last
December and lodged at Mrs: Wallace's
house and there became acquainted with
the family, including the defendant.
Cross-examIned by Mr.. Scott, who asked
witness as to the state of health of Mr..
Walkup at the time of the journey to
New Orleans. The state objected to. any
dissemination except that which per-
tanned to the questions it had asked the
witness. The defense proposed to show
that Mr.. Walkup was, at the time Of his
visit to New Orleans, in a bad state Of
health. His system was putrid with dis
ease. The court sustained the objection
to the dissemination as to the health
of Mr.. Walkup. The defense noted the
exception.
Miss Lizzie Walkup, daughter of Mr.
Walkup, was called at noon, and court
adjourned for the afternoon session.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The civil serv-
ice commission has addressed a letter to
President Cleveland, calling his attention
to an attempt by the Pennsylvania Re
publican committee to collect political
assessments in the departments and sug-
costing the propriety of making an inyes-
tgation of the matter with the view OF
Furnishing all parties connected with ii
who can be reached by the law, They
say it is their belief that Chairman Cooper,
who is responsible for the begging circu
lar, is not an employe Of the government
and therefore cannot be reached. The
letter suggests that congress be asked to
extend the law 50 as to cover all such
cases.
Civil Service Commissioner Thomas re-
turned to-day from a seven weeks official
trip through the Western and Pacific
coast states and territories. When ques-
toned tonight by an Associated Press re-
porter as to whether or not he had ten
dered his resignation or contemplated do
ing 30, Judge Thomas said. Il do not
wish to say anything concerning the mat
ter at this time. Suffice it that the presi
dent has long since been advised of my
desire in the premises. The judge
declined to say anything as to the reor-
ganization of the commission. He says
he has been throughout the Northwest,
and has seen that the belief in civil ser
vice reform is growing among the people.
The masses of the people, wherever he
has been, believe the president has taken
a noble stand for civil service reform, and
they mean to support him. This shirt
amounts to enthusiasm in many localities.
A few growls are heard from politicians,
but they are not needed.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 20.-Thc long con-
tinued arbitrary policy of King Christian
in refusing to dismiss the Estruph cabinet
in compliance with the vote of parliament,
because parliament refused to vote the
budget, has led to a number of serious
riots and imposing demonstrations in To-
penhagen. The people seem determined
that their Representatives H. parliament
shall have some voice in the affairs of the
government, and have become so threat
ening in their demands that the king has
ordered the garrison of Copenhagen to be
largely reinforced. These popular mani
festations are not confined to Copenhagen
alone, but are general throughout Dem
mark. Its expected that t. state Of siege
will be declared, and it is feared a reyolu-
ton will ensue if the king persists in re
fusing the concessions asked by parlia-
ment. A number of political arrests have
been made, tending to further incense the
people, and bloodshed is anticipated.

no hope of his recovery. Huendlend was

The Election Frauds.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 20.-Testlmony was
heard to day before Judge Buchwalter in
the mandamus proceedings to compel the
judges of the election in precinct Il.
Eighteenth ward, to make a proper return
of the election. Their return was brought
in unsealed and unsigned, and hence the
writ. J. II. Thompson, one of the Judges,
testified that he had been agreed upon to
act as n judge on behalf of the Republi-
cans; James Higgins and John Regain
were the Democratic judges. In the
morning they divided the labor thus.
Thompson was to receive the votes and
deposit them in a box; Higgins was to
turn the crank and Regain was to check
the names from the registry book. After
about fifty votes had been received outside
parties interfered, took the book from Re-
gan and threw it under some rubbish. Re-
gan had said he could'n check the names
fast enough. The book disappeared and
was not used again that day, After the
checking ceased witness saw one man
vote seven times under different names.
The votes were received against his pro-
test. He recognized the face as the same,
though he did not know the man. He
went home at 6 O'Clock and refused to as
sist in counting. Afterward he went TO
the polling place and was refused admis-
sion. He next saw the ballot box yester-
day morning. The hinges were broken
off and the box was tied up with rope.
Other witnesses testified that a copy of
the registry book had been made and 1t
was used by the challengers until they
were driven away and hat the book was
torn up.
A citizen of Covington testified that he
saw two boys, whom he named and whom
he knew to be residents of Covington,
vote at the precinct. lie said they we're
brought to the polls by a special police
man.
Another witness testified that he saw
these boys vote and saw them receive
money. They went into a saloon, got it
changed into silver and divided it. He
followed the boys to the river. On the
way he asked a policeman to arrest them,
but the officer declined. He saw the boys
get into a skiff without oars and tear up
the seat to paddle themselves across the
river.
Another witness testified that he saw
Moses Doyle, whom he knew well. and
whom he had seen vote a short time
before in another precinct, come to this
precinct and offer to vote. Witness pro-
tested and seized Doyle's arm as he held
out his ticket. One of the judges seized
Doyle's wrist and his arm was pulled
toward and from the ballot box by these
two men until another judge took the
ticket from Doyle's hand and put it in the
box.
The question to be raised in this case
after the testimony is ended, is whether
the court can compel the judges to sign
the return when they know it is tainted
with Irregularities and fraud. The OIL
cial count has only reached the Twelfth
ward. In one precinct the judges re-
turned a newspaper election return blink
with their signatures attached, but did
not sign the tally sheet About eight
thousand dollars has been subscribed for
the use of the committee of one hundred.
The court declined to call a special Grand
Jury on account Of the short time it would
have to serve.
