county. He spoke in favor of this
amendment, Mr.. Mcclure and Mr. Ray
against it. That amendment was lost.
The bill then passed its second reading.
| Mr.. Mcclure said the roads of Cherokee
were bad and that as that was the rail-

to travel, it was an absolute necessity
that It's roads should also be kept up.

cold, which settled on her lungs; she was
treated for a month by her family physi-

Her druggist suggested DR.. Kings New
Discovery for consumption; she bought q

GOVERNOR HUMPHREY has shown
himself to be a clear, level-headed
man on more occasions than one and
his request that Attorney General
Ives should assist the county attor-
ney Of Stevens county in the pros
ecution Of Brennan the slayer of
Sam Woods is only additional evil
dence of that fact. 1t was the
proper thing to do for several rea-
sons. If Mrs. Woods version of
the tragedy is true it was brutal
and cowardly murder and as the rep
resentative Of the state Governor
Humphrey did his duty when he
did all in his power to bring the
assassin to justice and thus protect
the fair name of our state. Again
there are those whose preiudices
are so strong and intellectually
so feeble that they will endeavor to
make political capital out Of the
affair, and the action of the governor
has most effectually forestalled this
possibility. The preservation and
protection of human life is the most
sacred duty Of every citizen and if
there ever was time when it be-
comes our duty to absolutely ignore
political prejudices it is in a case like
this. There can be but one question
to decide and that is, was the victim
killed in self defense. Upon no
other theory or hypothesis can the
killing be justified. No other suf-
6cient provocation could have exist
ed. The venue should be changed
from Judge Botkin and then with
the attorney general as prosecutor
the people should be satisfied with
the verdict. The people irrespective
of party demand that this trial be
conducted without reference to any
outside issues or entanglements.

heavens fall" is the spirit that

The following is taken from the
Kansas City Star a Democratic
newspaper. We sincerely trust that
the Star is wrong in its superstition
that the Peoples party will endeav-
or to make political capital out of the
killing. All fair minded men know
that the trouble has all been on
account Of a county seat fight
wherein political parties are never
recognized. Brennan, who shot
Wood, and Cook who is charged with
being implicated are both democrats.
THERE is no longer any doubt
that the Peoples party will make
the most Of Woods killing. Gov
ernor Humphrey, in discussing this
phase Of the matter this morning,
said: "It will be impossible to make
hero out Of Sam Wood. His
death was the result of a factional
fight in which the members of all
parties are interested. Brennan,
the man who killed him, is a Dem
ocrat, and Charles E. Cook, who is
also implicated in the matter, was
postmaster under a Democratic adj
ministration. O'Connor, the county
attorney, is also a Democrat.
How the senate can be connected
with the killing, even remotely is
something | can not understand.
The only weak point in the
accounts of the killing so far pub
lished is failure to show the i'm
mediate cause of the shooting. If
there was no conspiracy it was the
outcome of the trial Of the Cook
brothers at Paris, Tex. Brennan,
who was one Of the witnesses for
the defence, was savagely attacked
by Wood at that time, and swore he
would kill him. He saw him at the
Botkin trial here, but shooting at
that time would have resulted injur-
iously to Botkin. This theory is
advanced by those who hold that the
killing was a personal matter be-
tween Wood and Brennan. This
theory makes it all tho worse for
Brennan, as it robs him of his plea
of self-defense.

The city Of Fitchburg, Mass, is
greatly excited over the question Of
the right of the small boy to attend
the public schools Of that place bare
footed. The teacher, young lady,
sent 9 small boy home for the rea-
SON that the moral effect of a bare
footed boy was very bad. The issue
has been squarely raised and the
whole city have taken sides. The
question is whether it is immoral for
small boys to display their bare feet
and legs in public. ITO the pure all
things are pure" will apply with
epeat force in this instance. As a
rule the most radically vulgar peo-
ple are those who are apparently the
easiest shocked. People who take
anch extremely advanced ground and
adhere to it with such great peril
nacity will nearly always bear watch
ing. They are either dishonest OF
their morals are at allow ebb. despite

ONE hundred and fifteen years
ago the Declaration of independence
was for the first time read in the
city of Philadelphia. It was ratified
by the ringing Of bells, the roar of
cannon and the wild cheering of
the people then and there assembled.
The Fourth of July 1891 will be
celebrated by 100000 people in
public places or at home, and the
principles enunciated in the Dec
laration of Independence, a govern
ment Of the people, for the people
and by the people will be once more
ratified.
While it is true that much bun
combe and hyperbole is INDUCED in
by Fourth Of July orators it is
equally true that no other nation
on the globe has as much to feel
proud of as we haye, and with refer
ence to our future possibilities there
is but little danger Of exaggeration
as the most fertile imagination can
scarcely conceive of the advancement
that will be made in the next CEN
fury. The Glorious Fourth! Amer.

The trouble is not so much with
the eight hour a day law but the
fact that other legislation is neces-
sary before the law can be made
practical. A sudden, radical change
in law of that nature without any
regard for present existing circum-
stances, is certain to be disastrous
for a time. Other legislation is
needed that will conform to the
eight hour a day law and a few ex-
ceptions to the general law, it occurs
to US, would be proper. As we
have remarked before we believe
eight hours day is enough except
dndel certain circumstances, of
which exceptions should be made.
