Gordon dead.

"Take him for all in all, we shall
not look upon his like again"
The brave Christian warrior.
The noblest work of God, q Christ
like man, self-sacriicing, selfforget-
ting.
Dead in the dust and CRIME of
Khartoum.
Stabbed in the back-the noble
face kissing mother earth.
This is what we see-this is what
we mourn for.
The civilized world mourns Cor
don dead
One moment full of life-of noble
purpose-of high endeavor.
Then the quick, sharp pain-the
Keeling tall-the dizzy whirl of blind
ness the stifening hands.
And then?
With God.
But Gordon?
Surely this is not Gordon, this
pallid lump of clay, the rude soldier
kicks and splits upon.
Nay, Gordon is with God.
The grand soul, fetterless now
untrammeled now in the vast realms
of the eternal.
Satisfied as he awakes and sees
she glory face of his crucified Re-
deemer.
Is not such life worth living!
Having put on the whole armor,
to fight, to bleed, to agonize, and
then to win the victory.-Bolti-
nOredr.

KICKING AS USUAL

We FIJI ike protesting against the
resignation of Judge SIuss, and in fact
did regret that he had determined that
it was TO his best interest 10 do 80 49,
and which we really do not doubt, bat
after reading the insane rawlings, lies
and abuse INDUCED in last night by
the Democratic organ, we are content.
The insane rawlings of paper about
political honor whose proprietoTs
s. bbei in the back and betrayed the
last candidate of their own party for
that same bench, will disgust honest
mer Governor Martin might have
ca .assed all the men, who would
have accepted the position, for six
months and then not have named Il
more honorable, fit or capable man.
Of course The editor of the EAGLE is
blamed by the Beacon. That paper
never fails TO blame the EAGLE for
everything which it don't approve.
but takes great care never 10 praise
when the other thing is done. As we
have had occasion to remark. il is Oh
the kick. Had we come ont ia Il
str"ng protest against the appoint
meni, tho Beacon would have declared
Mr. Wall 10 be one of the most talent
ed, d gaified and fittest men of all the
bar Tor The place, which he really il.
The Beacon now says he WAS deie .tcd
as Republican candidate for county
attorney; true, but whisky and anti
prohibition did it. They were afraid of
Wall because he wouldn't make the
pledges required. 1t is true that there
are other men equally capable proba-
Div, n In age and experience better
equipped, but they are few, and are
lawyers who would not have accepted
the position for the same reasons for
which Slu,s resigned. The Beacon
said more mean contemplate things
about Sluss when he was candidate
than it now SAWS agrinst Wall. yet it
Was only two days ago that ii was
praising Sluss-
But this is enough so FAR Is our
amiable contemporary is concerned,
unless the Democratic party of the
county should take ii in theii heads
to back up the Beacon's fight, for the
purpose of either irjuring Judge Wall,
Gov. Martin or Sluss, in which event
the EAGLE is ready tor the fight.

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE II. c
SIUSS

Judge III. c. Siuss, of Wichita. who
was elected by the Republicans of the
Eighteenth judicial district. yesterday
formally rendered his resignation 10
Governor Martin, which was accepted.
and commission Issued by the gov
crtor appointing L. Il. Wall. also of
Wichita, as Judge of that district for
the uueNpired term.
The resignation of Judge Sluss Is
q surprise 10 many of his friends. but
10 those who are intimately acouaint-
ed with him, the surprise viii not be
so great. although their regret at the
.'ar taken by him will be plainly man.
ifest.
ine fact, as expressed by him, is
that he has never been satisfied with
his judicial position. Sluss is fine
lawyer who had built up for himself q
large and lucretiye practice. the in
come of which was far greater than
the salary of judge, and the conduct
ing of il was.fsr more pleasant than
presiding over the district. The
strong desire to return 10 his practice
finally induced HIM 10 retire from the
bench, hence his resignation.
Mr.. Wall, the new judge, is young
man of high character. an able lawyer,
one in whom the people of the Eigh-
teenth judicial district will have sntirs
eonadsncs.-Capital.
