HE PUT THE QUESTION.
How Representative kilgOre Is Said to
Have Decided q Legal Point.

There is good story going around the Cap
itol about Mr.. KIgore, which shows the en-
inent statesman from Texas to have be-
lleved In free ballot a number of years
ago, when the honorable gentleman was in
the first flush of success and he found himself
a fullfedged justice of the peace for the COM
monwealth of Texas. The first trial presided
over by the young justice is described as q
marvel OF judicial fairness. The case was of
unusual popular interest and the little room
was crowded by friends of the interested
parties The wordy battle ragged for some
time, when the lawyer for the defendant
moved to quash the Indictment and proceeded
to make an eloquent appeal The time had
now come for Mr.. Kilgore to show the judicial
oens OF his mind and, assuming 16-karat dig
NIFTY. he proceeded to give his decision
There are number of strong points in the
speech just made. said the embryo Representa-
tive, but still the court is not absolutely con-
WINGED. l will then put the question: All
those IN favor of quashing the indictment will
signify by saying aye" The friends of
the defendant the audience sent UP
mighty aye: those opposed. no." and the
piaintifs friends used their lungs with good
effect. The ayes seem to have it. the ayes
nave 1t. The trial is off and the court is ad-
lourned."

The Desertion Question.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
/ have read with interest Gen. Crooks state
ment, as published in The STAR, relative to de-
sertions from the army: His explanation of the
remarkable number of assertions Is that the
enlisted man is not respected by the public
This is an explanation that does not explain.
Gen. Crook is undoubtedly on the right track,
but he has failed to carry his investigation to
its logical conclusion. He does not tell us why
the public does not respect the private soldier,
while the militiaman is dear to its heart.
The reason is plain. The public is American
in sentiment. 1t respects man as long
there is concealed within him the possibility of
a success and advancement. Under our system
it is practically impossible for the enlisted man
to ever be anything else than an enlisted man,
serve he never we'll and faithfully. In our
militia organizations the private may reasona-
bly, expect some day to be an officer. In France
and Germany. where the soldier is respected.
every man carries the marshal's baton i'll his
haversack. In England, where our system OBJ
tans. the enlisted man is object Of con-
tempt.
Our army is bad our navy is worse-a crowd
OF foreign seamen man our new vessels. And
il never will be otherwise long the intiu-
ence of West Point and Annapolis prevents the
private soldier from aspiring to command and
the sailor from hoping to crawl through the
hawse-hole into the cabin. ii. ME.

A CITY in Darkness.

Columbus, Ohio. was in darkness last night,
owing to the temporary injunction issued by
Judge Pugh on the petition of an attorney who
has claims against the city which have not been
satisfied. There is an old law on the books
that prohibits city from making contracts I'M
less the money is in the treasury. 1t is claimed
by the plaintiff that at the time the contract
was made with the electric light company there
were no funds in the city treasury and the con-
tract was illegal. The assistant city solicitor is
also enjoined from performing any service for
the same reason. and the city clerk is enjoined
from paying out any funds. There is no little
Indignation against the attorney.

OKLAHOMA ALL ABLAZE.
How the Passage of the Territorial Bill
by the House was Celebrated.

The people Of Oklahoma had q great time
last Thursday night. Representative Mansur
OF Missouri is in receipt Of letters from the
land OF boomers in which the Joy Of the writer's
and their friends is luridly depicted. The
House committee on territories had been some
what slack on the Oklahoma territorial bill and
had practically laid it aside for future discus
sion when the President quietly notified the
majority that something was needed to be done
as soon as possible. That stirred the committee
up and Col. Mansur last Wednesday telegraphed
to Guthrie the welcome information that on
the following day at 4 o'clock vote would be
taken on the bill, and he added the easy
prophecy that the bill would undoubtedly pass
That started all Oklahoma to making prepara-
lions for great hurrah. On Thursday after
noon, as soon as the Speaker announced the
passage or the bill by an overwhelming ma
Jority-l6O to 25-COl. Mansur wired the infor-
nation to Guthrie. Three thousand men were
crowded around the post Office waiting for the
news and when the dispatch was read to them
they sent up the widest yell ever heard in that
region Brass bands, anvils. cannon. rifles and
revolvers, added to the roar of thousands of
voices. rent the atmosphere and prevented any
thing like the possibility of sleep. On every
hilltop in the territory bonfres blazed, they
having been prepared during the day to await
the bonfire signal from Guthrie. The night
scene is described as being particularly grand.
