frequently give their theory away.
The English Syndicate that has been
negotiating for the purchase Of e)evat-
ors and mills in the northwest have
concluded deal with G.. W. Van Du-
sen & Co. for the purchase of 78 of his

The Dakota constitution makers have
rejected the one house idea of state
Legislative body and will embody in
their document provisions for a Senate.
Although we know no reasbn for main
tanning the upper branch, which it ap-
pears could be dispensed with as well
as not, the constitution builders no
doubt feel timidity for such innova-
tions and believe it safer not to try ex-
periments in new state unless the nee
essity be urgent or the utility evident.

The taking of testimony in Network
to find out how much electricity is re-
quired to kill man, effectually and
painlessly, and whether it can be done
at all, still continues. 1t must be q
sweet season to the condemned Kemm-
Ter for it is giving him a lease of life
which he knows of a right belongs to
the law. And he is taking good advan-
tage of it too by throwing every pos
sible obstacle in the way Of a decision
that will close his career on earth for
ever.
The Broadhead, Wis, White Caps,
who selected brutal wife-beater for
the discipline Of q fogging and a suit Of
tar and feathers, requiring him to pre-,
sent his wife with s 900 and leave the
State, afforded helpless woman pro-
lection which legislatures and courts
have failed to provide. The penalty
was just, though decreed by a non-off-
cial body; more's the pity that the law
is utterly inadequate for the punish
mept of the indescribable offense of
which the rich farmer was guilty.
The repeated charges by democratic
papers of corruption in the administra-
ton of the pension bureau has led the
Secretary of Interior and his assistant
to an investigation Of the real state of
things. Commissioner Tanner, who
was never dishonest in his decisions,
cordially welcomes it, confident of ex-
oneration. We hope and actually be-
lieve the investigation will be sufficient
to efectually wet down the democratic
partisans who have been gloating over
the affair, which is more the result of
their own Vaccinations than the true
state of facts.
Last week two cattle thieves in
Wyoming, named Averill and Kate
Maxwell were strung to tree by the
same rope by stockmen who had suffered
from their depredations and who as
sumed to themselves the right to adj
minister his lawless style Of punish
ment. In doing SO they committed a
capital offense and it is right that they
be arrested and dealt with harshly. If
it is wrong in Wyoming to steal cattle
there is q law to avenge it and that
same law does not make it privilege
to commit murder nor does it tolerate
lawless lynchers.
