Pies candidate win have all those
votes counted in his favor in spite
Of the omission in the returns.
But If it shall be found that the
votes We're cast for John II. Rumel,
it will be for a comueteut court Ia
decide, on proper hearing, what
the voters intended when they east
their ballots. The decision Of the
Board shows that this mag be done
and also that ,he Canvassers have
not sufficient Judicial authority 10
determine the question.
ItdOes not follow that because %
the decision Of the Board. the GER
tificate will be given d Henry
Page. when the ballots are exam
lined it may turn out, a. we believe
it viii, that John II. Rumyl, Jr.,
received q majority Of the vOte-.
and lac viii therefore receive the
certificate.
The mandamus proceedings now
Instituted may hinder the court. but
the law seems 20 clear a. 10 the
power u the Canvsssers g. 20 10 the
ballot box that il l. hardly probable
the court will interfere 10 prevent
them.
We have no doubt that tine Pe0-
plss' ami Workingmen's candidate
FOR Recorder was elected, aud that
he will obtain the Office. Its yo.-
s;ble that the blundvr of some vo-
ters may put him TO considerable
trouble 70 gain his rights. hut we
hope the canvass viii show the mis-
take 70 have been made by the
iuises II election Instead Of by the
electors.
ON close examination we fail 60
see wherein fault can justly
be found with thc decision I'D

II the Law and the rulings Of com
petent courts. Tie powers of this
'oard are chiefly ministerial. and |

respects Insignificant when COM

There are piece Of property which
were assessed too high hy the COun-
ty A-s=ssor, hut on which the City
Assessor has more than doubled the
valuation. Aud It j. charged that
not only has the city tax man
placed property at a ridicuIously
high figure, hIt he has shown
iuramgeiency in valuing both real
estate and the improvements made
thereon.
Threats among Liberals are

THE PREACHER IN OFFICE.

United States pension agent, the Rev
erend Bernard Kelly, made a speech
Sunday night at Hutchinson, and in a
church. From the News account of
which, we quote the following:
He said that certain whisky men Of
Wichita had said that prohibition was
making empty houses and stores, when,
as fact, he had counted 23S empty
houses in that city in three hours when
the saloons were in full blast"
AS it is not in us to do it justice, we
respectfully refer the declaration of this
man, who beat Wichita out of the South
west Methodist college, to such of the
honest men and women of his own
church who were here eight years ago
when Wichita had open saloons, leaving
it to them to denounce, explain or ex-
cuse, as they may see fit, and with or
without prayer for him, as the spirit
shall move them and direct

WHO ISINCONSISTENTp

Judge Ray said in his speech, night be-
fore last, that the whiskey men would
fight all law. whether it was high license,
low license or no license, and in the very
next breath he. himself. denounced the
highest tribunal for all laws. Such syc-
ophantic hypocrisy and such inconsist-
ency is amazing. This man whose talk
revealed the fact that he was either
standing in fear Of the alliance or that he
was otherwise endeavoring 10 ingratiate
himself into their good graces, took it
upon himself to insinuate that Wichita IS
not exactly what she ought TO be, or that
her people failed of their duty, for which
the EAGLE was responsible. More
evidence of hypocrisy, or Of
something worse. This stamping
Judge if he knows anything about Wich-
tia and her citizens, knows that touch
ing the matter of Resubmission the EA-
GLE has only reflected the sentiments of
this people, and that, too, in a very mild
and conservative way.
All this talk of regard for law and the
sanctity of the courts by this class of
men, who live by shooting off their
mouths, makes sensible people very
tired. It's the law that particularly suits
them of which they are so soHcitous.
When they do not suit. they.
like this man Ray, viii de-
nOunce both the law and the courts
that uphold them, just as did Ray, who is
himself a judge upon the bench, and
who Judging him from his own words
and attitude would be wholly unfit in
our estimation to sit in case where he
was strongly prejudiced.
But Ray is no exception. The State
Temperance League at Topeka, in its
eighth resolution, declared that it treats
with denial and derision the sugges-
"tion that the supreme court decision is
''fatal to prohibition. We submit that
even if that convention thus felt they
should not have openly so expressed.
While the joint keeper treats the stau-
tory law with denial and derision."
he is sly and close. mOuthed about it: and
such an example of defiance Of the
highest judicial power in the land as
was exhibited by that convention viii
hardly be lost on those who are naturally
FESTIVE under the restraints Of that law.
Besides the truth Is the decision is fatal,
all the same. and the only power that
can remedy the trouble for that conven-
ton Is congress, a knowledge of which
fact ought to have led to an appeal to
congress rather than TO denunciation of
the act of the supreme tribunal of the
country.
Former who live in glass houses these
self constituted mouth pieces Of the pro
hibitionists throw an awful sight of
stones. and they throw them mighty
awkward.

MORE SHAAIAIING

The Topeka Capital rears high up on
indig at the opening of several original
package houses IN that city. The Capi-
tails own language will convey more
clearly its feelings in the matter. Ii
saws:
The indignation Of the citizens Of Topeka
is at a very high pitch. The people do not
hesitate 10 say that the attempt of the
Missouri whiskey dealers To reinsrate the
liquor traffic in this city. IN defiance ofthe
almost unanimous sentiment of the people.
i an outrage that should not be tolerated.
There was rumor in circulation yesterday
that secret organization was being form
ed Tor the purpose of stopping the traffic
il necessary 10y force.
The attempt of the Missouri whisky
dealers TO reinstate the liquor traffic in
that city in defiance of the almost unani-
nous sentiment of the people, would IN
deed present an intolerable state Of case.
but Tor the presence Of the aggravating
little conjunction if Does the Capital
mean to say that those terrible Missouri
whisky dealers have taken positions along
the public th0roughfares of that CITY and
10y sheer force are compelling the
citizens, who so violently oppose
the pernicious traffic, to buy and

ON THE MAIN LINE TO THE PACIFIC


Our dispatches of yesterday announced
that the Santa Fe had absorbed the st.
Louis & San Francisco. The annouce-
ment is a little strange following the
action of the latter road Of few DAYS
since in floating loan of ten million
dollars for extensions. We have been
expecting for some time to hear that the
Santa Fe had bought the Frisco's interest
in the Atlantic & Pacific from Alber-
querque to the Pacific, as the Frisco in
terests have been getting but little bene-
fit from that property.
But should the telegraph rumor prove
correct, what will be the result? That
is a question which would be hard to
answer. There are two or three things
quite evident, however. The st. Louis
and San Francisco would in such an
! event be accomplished in fact as
well as in name. The road would reach
from ST. Louis to San Francisco almost
direct and become the shortest trans
continental line in existence, with
Wichita on the main line. The Wichita
& Western which is owned by the Santa
F'e and Frisco, conformity, would be con-
nected with the main line of the Santa
Fe at Dodge City and the through Pacific
trains would run through Wichita. AS
the through Galveston trains are now
run through Wichita, the crossing of the
Pacific trunk line and of the two Gulf
trunk lines would lat this point. What
the arrangement would be from St.
Louis to the Atlantic for this transcon-
tinental line we are not prepared to
guess.
Another thing. Dodge City would
become the meeting point for the
through Pacific trains from Chicago and
the through Pacific trains from st.
Louis.
The last one of our three propositions
which would be true. if the Santa Fe has
really acquired the Frisco, is that the
Santa Fe would have greater interests
centering at Wichita than at any other
point on the whole system, in this or
any other state. That road would not
only own her present lines in and out of
here and the Frisco line, but the Kansas
Midland which connects with the Union
Pacific at Ellsworth, and the Wichita &
Western which runs in an air line west
from Wichita almost to Dodge City.
But the nights dispatches will confirm
or deny yesterdays report pending which
facts and conjectures can amount to but
littIa.
