The supreme court of Nebraska decid-
ed that while Governor Boyd was elect
ed he can not hold the office because he
is Ineligible under the constitution, and
further declares Governor Thayer to be
the legal chief executive officer of the
state. The case will be taken to the
supreme court of the United States, the
point at issue, as we understand it, being
a defect in the naturalization papers of
Boyd's father, he being a native OF
foreign country and removing to the
United States while the appellant was
an infant. 1t presents one of the anoma-
lies in our naturalization laws Had
Boyd's father remained in the old coun-
try and the son came here alone as an
infant he would not have needed to go
through the naturalizing process neces-
sary for adults, but would have acquired
citizenship on attaining to his majority.
Our guess is that the u. S. supreme
court will reverse the Nebraska courts
ruling in the case.

The great st. Louis Republic, in its
criticism of the report of the New Or
leans grand jury. compares the New
Orleans incident that gave rise to the
riot. to the Haymarket affair in Chi
cago. To our mind no two incidents
could be more dissimilar in their origin
and the promptings that impelled the
participants to action. In the Haymar-
ket affair the movers in the riot were
impeiied by determination to destroy
the peace and feeling of safety in the
community, in defiance of law; while in
New Orleans the citizens were inspired
by sense of danger to the peace and
safety of the community-in a word,
they were striving to do that which the
law had failed to do.

Bishop Keane in his views upon the
subject of education, expresses surpris-
ing @ liberality in agreeing that the
state the government should control
the educational interests of the country,
the funds for that purpose being appor-
toned among the various religious de-
nominations. This seems to be some
thing of a departure for the Catholic
church, but in fact it is not. 1t has con-
tended for division of the school fund
for years, and as for the state supervis-
ion or control, that would be step in
the direction Of merging church and
state, a thing that church has always
contended for.

The southern newspapers, almost
without exception, have spoken of Presi-
dent Harrison, anent his southern trip,
in the kindliest and most respectful
terms, and it is left for a northern and
eastern bourbon sheet to belittle itself in
attempting to belittle Mr.. Harrison.
Here is the brilliant effort of the Albany
On. " Argus at wit at his expense:
If President Harrison had been wise he
would have started off on his long trip
month ago But Mr.. Blaine wouldn't
hear of it. He kept the little man potter
ing around until the base ball season got
into full swing, and the result is that poo
pie are too busy reading about the game
to pay any attention to a president who
couldn't pitch for school girls club.

Fox and Grapes-Revised Version.


From Kate FIELDS Washington
There was once a fox who, e,pying
SONS luscious-look ng grapes growing
over a wall, high out of his reach. sat
down and began debating with himself
how he might secure a bunch for his
dessert. While he was thus engaged.
several of the ripest, detaching them
selves from the bunch, fell into his open
mouth, nearly choking MIN by the I'M
expected force with which they had IN
sisted upon pressing themselves upon
him. AS soon as he cyuld regain his
breath after swallowing them, the fox
exclaimed: Distance indeed lends en-
chantment. On close acquaintance, these
grapes prove no better than they should
be!' And he departed to try his luck
elsewhere.
Moral: To insure enjoyment of the
winning there must be a wooing. IL Is
never safe, if one desires appreciation.
to fling oneself at another's head.

Senator Quay has been regarded as a
Blaine man, but, like Clarkson, he has
declared himself for Harrison. The New
York Herald's Washington correspon-
dent says that Republican politicians are
beginning to say freely that Harrison
will be renominated by reclamation.
Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota,
comes pretty nearly sizing up the situa-
ton in the west. He says he expects
Mr.. Harrison to be renominated, though
if James G. Blaine would say the word
he would sweep the wild west like cy-
clone, or words to that effect.

Since the saloon was abolished in Kan
sas many foul and unnatural" murders
have been committed, and in the capital
city of the state murderer has been
lynched-which does not mean that the
statutes against this great crime should
be repealed-Newton Republican.
No, but it proves that the passions of
people cannot be controlled, even in the
commission of heinous crimes, by statu-
tory enactments. And how much less
in the performance of an act which, in
itself, is not regarded by most people as
an offense against righteous laws nor
good morals?
