Gen. Jubal Early and a Mayor Lacey,
of Spottsylvania, Va, are in the prints
bandying such choice epithets as habit
ual drunkard and miscegenationist on
one side, and liar and scoundrel on the
other. Lacey seems to be something of
a local celebrity though he is little
known beyond the precincts of central
Virginia, while Early is somewhat more
extensive known to fame-of the sort.
We know but little of the merits of the
controversy between them and the pub
lie cares less. 1t may be observed. how
ever, that very many persons are pre-
pared to believe what each says of the
other in this connection, though little
credence would be given to what they
say in general way. As to Early smili-
tary genius, our notion is if the south
had had more of his sort in important
and responsible positions, the end of the
struggle would have come much sooner
than it did.

are truthfully and ably handled and her
relation to deep water on the Gulf
alluded to confidently.
The writer concludes his observations
on the commercial importance of Kansas
and Wichita's relation thereto in the
following strong declaration:
wichita is a new center growing out
'Sof the immense natural recourses of the
Arkansas Valley region, which require
"a center somewhere, and the enterprise
'tof her citizens is influencing its loca-
1tion there

There seems 10 be something in the
point raised by Lawyer Waggener of
Atchison in the case of his client. who he
claims Is detained in the states prison
wrongfully on account of a technical de-
feet in the sentence committing him.
The point that the attorney makes Is that
hefull text of the crimes act Is not quot
ed in the sentence, the words in the peni-
Tertiary" being omitted. the act reading
"bv confinement at hard labor in the
penitentiary." On what ground the case
Is taken 10 the federal court we fail to
see. it being clearly within the juris-
diction Of the state courts. Il i an I'M
warranted presumption that the state
courts would overdue the motion because
of the probable effect il might have uuon
a number Of other cases Of similar I'M
port OF persons now confined IN the
states prison. II Is purely a state ques-
ton and should be settled by the state.

THE SALVATION OF THE FARMERS.

The distress of the agricultural class is
confined not simply to the United States,
but is felt all over the world. and it is
due perhaps to great number of causes,
but especially to the disproportionately
rapid development of industrial life in
other directions. The most hopeful out
look for the farmer that has ever been
presented is that made by Prince KrOpOt-
kin, in the August number of the Forum,
that by means of scientific and intensive
agriculture the farmer is to be the COM
ing man, and we are on a eve of a reign
of plenty. He shows how, in some of
the most densely populated parts of
Europe, crops are grown on poor land of
many times greater value than the rich
list crops grown by the usual methods on
the richest land, and he gives reasons for
predicting that we are on the eve of a
revolution in agricultural methods. The
article is full of definite facts about vari-
Gus sorts Of crops under various condi-
tiOuS

Sounds Rather Fishy.

From the Atchison Patriot.
The Atchison man prefers cat fish fish
ing to any other kind. You can tell him
of place where you can catch croppy
or a ''spot" where bass abounds, or a
''slough" where there are plenty of sun
perch, and he will tell YOU he knows a
hole where you can catch any amount
of cat fish. In fact the Atchison man
dOtes on cat fishing.

The worlds peace congress concluded
its session in London last week These
periodic efforts in behalf of universal
peace date back forty years That the
purposes and efforts put forth by these
gatherings of representatives of most of
the nations of the world are commend
able will not be denied, but whether
their kindly offices are of any avail for
the purposes intended to be served is
doubtful, for it is fact that several of
the greatest and most disastrous wars
known to the worlds history have oc-
CURED since the Inauguration of the
movement. Nevertheless, where there
is no effort nothing will be accomplished,
and the object sought is worthy the en-
deavor in this instance even if no imme-
date results follow.

ANNAPOLIS. Mp. March 26.-The Cover
nor sent message to the Legislature to-
night transmitting a communication from
l.. Victor Baughman. state Comptroller.
The Comptroller states that he has dis
covered a misappropna.iOn of state sccu-
rites in the hands OF State Treasurer
Stevenson Archer. On motion of Mr..
Shaw, message proposing the appoint
mont of q committee 10 investigate the
Treasurers accounts was sent 10 the SEN
ate. Treasurer Archer Is lying critically
Ill at his home in Belaire, HGrtOrd county.
The SUMS Annapolis special says: The
message from the Governor came like a
shock TO the members OF the Legs lature.
The presiding officers and some OF the SEN
ators had been previously sent Tor 10y Gov
ernor Jackson and were told Of the affair.
Secretary-of-State Lecompte carried a copy
of the message into each house, and when
the business then up was disposed of it
was read. The scene IN the House,
which was full Of people, was almost
indescribable The members fell back IN
their seats speechless for the time. and 1t
was "a strange sight to see strong men cry
inc Ike children. An unfounded report
was circulated during the excitement that
telegram had been received from Be
laire stating that Archer was dead, but
this was soon cOntradlcted. Both hOus s
adjourned at once. 1t WAS Comptroller
Baughman's discovery of tho hypotheca-
ton of securities held by the State that
led to the disclosures, and 1t was his letter
that the Governor used Is basis for the
message TO the Legislature. Dir. Beugh-
