The wind lays pretty much ID the
direction Of Ma. Kinley as speaker
of the next house. He would be a
good selection.
The Britishers have gone SO far now
as to organize trust on human beings
syndicate which has control Of all
the ballet girls in the west, some three
thousand in number.
Gov. Lowry has at length got hold Of
his man, Sullivan. The persistence of
the Mississippi ruler has put the slug
ger in his hands and may yet put him
behind the bars. He was arrested in
New York last Thursday on a requisi-
ton from Lowry. given up, and taken to
Mississippi where the law will be read
TO him and the Boston ..Big I'M will
be given chance to reform. IL he feels
disinclined he will no doubt be allowed
to practice the sand bag art while re-
pining in some southern Jail.
Francis Murphy the renowned tenn
perance lecturer is reported to have
said at New York lately, 1.-The defeat
Of prohibition everywhere is good
victory for temperance. Prohibition is
Phariseeism, fraud and hypocrisy. It
is an attempt to bring the church and
people together again. The people will
not permit it. When preachers band
themselves together to get the legis.
lature to enact laws to regulate the
morals of a people they are going con-
trary to the will of God.''
Washington correspondents say there
are the best of reasons for believing
that Attorney General Miller will not
go to the Supreme Bench, although
there is not the slightest doubt that the
president had at one time almost fully
determined to make the appointment.
The change of mind is understood to
have been brought about by strong
protest from number of Indiana Re-
publicans, who have shown the presi-
dent that it would be bad politics.
Now let him settle on Cooley or Gresh-
am and the people will rejoice.
The commissioner of Indiansis con-

Of teachers in their schools, and states
that it is his intention to make the In
dian schools, like the public schools,
non political and non-ssctarian. This
is evidently the proper policy. There
are now about 159 schools which are

The constitutional conventions in the
new states are drawing to a close. A
few days will suffice to despatch the
remaining business and finish the doc
uments that are to be presented to the
people. Prohibition, Woman Suffrage,
and the one house legislature idea were
all knocked in the head and refused a
clause in the constitutions. The pa
pers are not specimens of originality by
any means. In most cases they are a
good copy of the constitutions of older
states.
Another week has passed and in New
York Kemmler, the condemned MUIR
derer, still lives. The chances are that
he will continue to live for some time.
Electricians. who usually know all
about the effect of an electric shock, at
present have but little knowledge of its
killing powers. Experiments have been
made on dogs and horses and proven
successful, but there is a strange uncer-
tainty as to its effect on man. The
only way to find out and settle the mat
ter beyond doubt itseems is to try it on
somebody and Kemmler is a fit though
unwilling lamb for the slaughter. He
has been condemned to execution and
the fulfllment of the law should not be
deferred by suspicion that the execu-
ton may not be a painless one. # it
is right to kill as a punishment for
crime, the pain experienced in the ac-
complishment counts for little. Kemm-
Ter should give justice its due and de-
eide the question which everybody is
anxious to know.
