THE Kansas City Star, which keeps
close eye on politics over the border,
warns organs like the Butte Inter
Mountain and Helena Herald that they
should be careful how they attempt to
read Senator Plumb out of the party.
Before they do anything SO reckless"
says the Star, ''let them send out repre-
sentatives and get a concensus of
opinion from the $1,000 farmers in Kan
sas touching the tariff question. They
will find that the senator is only stand.
ing in line with his people. The policy
of high protection is dead in Kansas and
dead forever" This view of the situa-
ton is undoubtedly true. Mr.. Plumb
is not theorist or sentimentalist. He
is not the sort of man to sacrifice office
and ambition for preferment from any
desire to maintain principle at any
cost. If the principle came too high he
would let it 60 and take the office He
is wise in getting into his cyclone cellar
before the blow comes, as his assailants
will find out when it is too late.

Raum's credit, and out of that money
gave check on the bank of the Repub
lie for the refrigerator patents."
On the witness stand Raum testified
that he gave Lemon as security for the
loan 100000 in stock Of the Virginia
Gypsum Mining company, concern Of
very doubtful financial ability. Mr..
Cooper wanted to find out how it was
that about the time of these transac-
lions some 5000 pension cases fled by
Lemon we're advanced, but the commit
tee ruled that Mr.. Cooper must first
show that Raum had made an unfair
ruling in Lemons favor. Mr.. Cooper
insisted that the character of the rul-
ing would be largely determined by the
method by which it was procured, that
if the method was corrupt there could
be but one opinion as to its character,
but the committee refused to let him
probe into the matter further.
The committee manifested the same
bias in favor of Raum when Mr.. Cooper
proposed to show that the commissioner
had unloaded stock in wildcat refriger-
ator company on clerks in his office. Mr..
Cooper's demand for the production of
the stock books was refused by the COM
mittee, who told Mr.. Cooper he might
put questions to Raum about this com
pany. but that he couldn't be allowed
to see the books.
The proceedings of the COMMITTEES
were SO transparent farce that Mr..
Cooper has wisely concluded to lay the
facts before the public without waiting
for the committees findings.
There can be but one opinion as to
Raum's conduct even under the most
favorable construction that can be put
upon it. He is an unworthy public
servant

The prohibitionists showed waning
strength in last years elections, but this
year the party's vote bids fair to in
crease considerably. Republicans who
are ashamed of their own party find the
prohibition camp convenient temper
airy refuge, and the woods are full of
such republicans this year. This is
notably the case in Pennsylvania, where
thousands Of anti Quay republicans have
become suddenly convinced that the
liquor question needs immediate atten-

Human Sacrifice in Africa.


The victim Is placed on a block OF
wood, with his legs stretched out
stiff in front Of him. Reside each
ankle a small stake Is driven firmly
into the ground, the same ut the
knees and at the sides running up
under the arm-pits. These are then
firmly bound together 10y cords, Sc
curing the bOdy rigidly in its posi-
ton. His head Is then placed in n
kind Of cage formed by a ring Of
cane fastened around the neck with
numerous strings attached TO it
which are drawn up over the head
and tied together in loop. A plant
young sapling is now stuck in the
ground about twelve feet from the
victim and bent over toward him
until the extreme end is caught In
the loop, and all the strings around
the ring are drawn taut and the
neck stretched stiff by the strain.
The executiOner then makes his
appearance, escorted by the voting
men aud women Of the village. each
holding over him a palm leaf, form
ing kind OF canopy. On reaching
the victim they fail back and leave
him there alone. He wears 4 cap
formed Of large black cocks tails;
his face is blackened with charcoal
down to the neck; his hands and
arms are also blackened up to the
elbows, and the same with his legs
down 10 the knees. Around his
loins he wears several wild cat skins.
Standing in front of his victim, he
makes ut first two or three feints
with his knife, TO get n pioper
swing. Then, deliberately bending
DOWN ana taking a piece Of chalk,
put there for the purpose, he draws
4 thin line around the neck, and
putting little fine sand on his hand !
50 as to get n good grip. with one
quick blow with his knife, sewers |
the head from the trunk. Until |
Just before the execution the whole |
village is wild in expectation Of the
event. Groups of dancers are TO bc
seen, drummers at worn, and every
kind OF musical instrument TO add |
to the tumult. The head. after
being severed, Is jerked up in the
air by the released tension OF the
pole.
Then, upon the sight Of the blood,
heir vilest ard most inhuman pas
lions are aroused. They act like
Wild beasts, clutch at the head,
.mear each other in the face with
he blood, aud a general scrimmnge
.lways eusues, resulting, more often
han not, fatally.-Scri6ner.

argument in favor Of the purchas'

another is the fact that the property

escaped. The thief hal pile Of
lace curtains and altar fixtures, fol-
the return Of which u big reward
would be offered, packed up to
take away. Some had been
taken out into the graveyard.
The officer, on discovering

a Gordon Of officers surrounded the
place. The man was then captured.
He resisted and wassevereIy treated
by the police, his cothes being nearly
torn from him. Man and plumber
were taken to Ithe police-station.
The church is a historic old place,
where Washington worshipped, and
the articles which the thieves tried
to take Were worth an intrinsically

TWO OF A KIND.

THERE is bunch Of prickly pears
on Judge Blackburn's seat on the
bench. They must make his pos;.
ton exceedingly uncomfortable, as
they have already almost. if not
quite, penetrated his judicial un.
mentiOnables. One st c.ion of the
group Of the thorny plant is from
PROVO, another from Ogden, while a
lew priekers have been gathered in
SAT- Lake to make the bouquet COM
piete. The bar Of the two first
named cities and 4 portion of that
Of the capital protest against his
confirmation by the Senate.
The ground Of the objection is
iincompetency. In legal parlance.
the point is well taken. If The
DIRECTORS only knew enough thev
would present to the upper branch
OF Congress the opinion formulated
by His Honor on the General NUM-.
cipal Election Law. II any mem.
Der Of that august body can MAKE
out what the Supreme Court Of
otah intended to say by what j. did
state in that alleged opinion through
Judge Blackburn, he viii not onIv
show his capability TO sit in the
Senate, but also TO conduct n law
tfiice in Philadelphia. 1t is truly a |
heterogeneous coordination of ex-
'raneous phraseoIogy, and would
we believe, on careful examination
seal the judicial doom Of its author.
