Exposing Il Fraud.
AiInntn Comstitmtion.


The state of Kansas for some years has
been under the deadly curse of moral reform
not the genuine article, hut the brazen and
fraudulent reform that is for revenue only.
a corrupt combination terrorizes the state
and shamclessly trafics in the public offices.
These so-callcd reformers are many of them
secret drunkards and notoriously immoral
men, but they have only one test in their po-
ltical crusade and that test is prohibition.
They do not scruplc to denounce good men,
and even ministers of the gospel who hon
estly differ with them. These fellows who
never have virtuous thought once year
would put thousands of decent mon, the SUI
preme court and the ministry under the ban
because they will not be bulldozed into carry
ing out their scheme Of sham reform and
robbery.
Naturally the good people Of Kansas havo
little patience with these frauds-half rob-
bers and all hypocrites, and they have kept
an eye on their leaders for some time past
The other day the biggest man in the gang,
General A. B. Campbell, spent two nights in
Kansas City in disgusting drunken orgies
The police made a raid on gilded palace OF
sin and captured the general, who promptly
gave bond and continued to paint the town
red until morning.
Under ordinary circumstances, when
wclI-mcaning but weak man makes slip,
very few papers care to expose his folly
But Campbelrs case is an exception. Tho
general is a corrupt politician. His sole stock
in trade has been to talk about God and
morality. He organized the temperance
union. He led at prayer meeting and abused
the antiprohibitiOnst with great power.
He gathered band of weak sisters and
weaker brethren about him and wagod mer-
ciless warfare upon sober, honest citizens
who did not believe in his scheme of political
prohibition.
The exposure OF such fraud was public
duty, and the press of the country will serve
the cause of morality and true reform by
showing him up in his true cOlors.

Noble tells the senate that this policy has

DEMOCRATIC papers aremaling much
ndoo over the fact that President Har-
rison has not registered under the new
law in Indianapolis, and consequently
does not care for the success ofthe party
in Indiana this year, There is some
dignity in n president who does not go
wild over n ward fight and General Har-
rison is to be congratulated over his
course. Even if his vote We're badly
needed, it is not expected of him to go a
couple OF thousand miles to register his
name. The democratic papers are pro-

tainty and severity Of punishment as n
protection TO society For instance q
man like Kemmler, who wantonly and
wickcdly butchered n woman, and
gloated over the murder, is entitled to
no personal consideration when it comes
to disposing of him. If the gallows has
lost its terror and science has per-
fected an apparatus that is more to be
dreaded than the 'hangman's knot, it
should be adopted. The one object is to
terrorize the man who premeditates
murder; to let him know that the law
will say to him, Vengeance is mine-I
win repay" If this new process is TO
be considered more humane than the
old way, the hope then lies in the
thought that juries will be more apt to
convict murderers. II this will be the
result, then the new way cannot come
too soon. Society must be protected
from the wild beasts in human form, and
the death penalty, no matter how ap-
piled, cannot bc too severe.

To dwell forever. But the plain hath none,
Where open country stretches for away,
And the blue heaven envirOns every way
The strange, round world, until the fading

Her misty features. Yet the rushes sway
Musical, sOughing to the summer wind

Knee-deep among forget-menots. And kind

THE Boston genius who recently
startled the natives with lurid descrip-
tion of "the June rise of the Missouri"
and the havoc wrought in his mind ''be-
tween Omaha and Jefferson City," has
broker loose in fresh spot. He scars
above facts and conditions with the ease
and grace Of a Munchausen, and unrolls
n picture OF devastation and blight for
the edfcation of tcnderfeet Shaking
Missouri mud from his mental brogans
he moves westward and collidos with
wind-"a stinging, scorching wind"
but his capacity for stor-
ing and emitting the article
prevented dangerous sresults. "The winds
strike the face in singing PARTICLES, as
if it We're a hot blizzard. The sun de-
YOURS from above, the air bites hotly as
it passes, and the ground sends up re-
flected rays of heat that seem to prod
ones flesh as if it We're pitchforks in the
hands of those imps of an overheated
future. There Is no relief from it. The
sun sets in sea of molten copper every
night. It rises from like reservoir of
heat inthe morning, and rideson through
unclouded caloric eifulgence all day"
But enough OF such idiotic rot. If
Boston cult is entertained or instructed
by the overheated vaporings of an ire
sponsible lunatic, the mental calibre of
the residents is ovcrrated. 1t is Surpris-

DISADVANTAGE of Red Hair.

The %unhappiest girl in New York is, with
out doubt. the one to whom a kindly nature
has given the real Titan red hair. Aside
from the fact that she is no longer the pos
SCISSOR of a rare and envied glory, she finds
herself classed with the Supremacy foolish
women who are invoking the aid of chemicals
to give their hair the matchless tint. One
rlpersensitive girl with the Titan coloring
says that she can no longer walk down Broad
way without an uneasy consciousness that her
hair is misrepresenting her, and a second
young woman declares that it is a positive
pain to her, instead of q pleasure, to meet per-
IONS for the first time, because she feels In
their n q certain shade of difference
from that to which she has been accustomed,
and which she attributes to the suspicion Of
dlliness that the color Of her hair invites

$40 or $50 from his earnings. Dolan's par

an Entire day Trying to Con-
vince the Judge
That he was Wrong in Suspending
Commissioners Healy and
Ecklund From Office.
An Incendiary Fire in the Old
Slattery Building Quick
ly Extinguished.
The Commissioners Case Again.

from Wednesdays Daily.]
The re-hearing, for such it appeared to
be, in the case of the suspended county
commissioners, occupied the attention of
Judge Winchester, in chambers, up to 3
o'clock yesterday. Attorney Jamison,
with the exception of about five minutes
appropriated by Mr.. Register, occupied all
OF the time in attempting to convince
Judge Winchester that he had made a mis-
take in approving the suspension of Com
missioners Healy and Ecklund, and in
pointing OUT how easily he could correct
his mistake by restoring them to the Off
cial position to which they had been elected
by their respective districts. There was a
diffuse presentation of Ceases to prove
that the o~ff-color commissioners
were in the right and the
judge was in the wrong, and added to the
accumulation of legal authorities, Web
ster's "get the best" dictionary, was quoted
for a liberal definition of "malfeasance in
Office" But the court held that the "code"
was a safe guide for present purposes, pre-
sumably on the ground that it was more
familiar as a text book in courts than the
wordy vocabulary of Noah Webster. "Due
cause' it was claimed was not properly
represented in court when the order Of
suspension was issued and it was more
than half intimated that the judge was not
a good Judge of "due cause" If any error
had been committed by the com.
missioners sit was a very small one"
and without malice, and ought not
to be counted, in the light Of what
appeared to attorney Jamison just the au-
thority needed for the occasion. 1t was an
exhaustive and exhausting appeal to Judge
Winchester to admit that he was wrong in
his forme ruling and to restore the de-
posed to their former standing without
subjecting them to a trial by jury.
AS attorney Edgerly could discover
nothing in the arguments presented, that
was not fully before the court at the for
mer hearing, he would submit the case
without further discussion.
The Judge will render his decision to-
daY.
