THE Republican papers out in Judge Nichol-
sons district are suggesting very pertinently
that man who would sell out principle for an
office would sell out decision for money. They
may be wrong In this, but the probabilities are
that they are not.-LdCrence Journal
And yet the Republicans Of that dis
trict are proposing a fusion Of the two
old parties and the support ofa Demo
crat in opposition to Judge NichOl-
son. This is probably because they
have no principles.

AS one by one the alleged causes Of the ALI
ance vote are explained away, 1t becomes more
obvious that the revolution was due to Mrs.

And that is the reason why the edi-
tors of such Republican papers as
the Capital, the Lawrence Journal
and the Emporia Republican are
straining their mighty intellects to
keep these superlatively important

The advocate., 1891-08-05

Of the points at issue have yet been
heard, much less have they been de-
cided, except in the newspaper offices;
and outside of those offices it is yet
an uncertain question how they will
be decided. 1t is quite certain that
the supreme court will not render
q decision until after hearing is
had; and it is not believed that even
then that court will aid the loan
company in robbing Honeywell of
his property.
Even if Judge McKay's rulings
and decisions should ultimately be
overruled by the supreme court, it
would be nothing more than has hap
pened a Thousand times before in
cases where the most learned and ex-
perienced judges in the land have
been thus oVerruled. Even decisions
and rulings of supreme courts of the
several states have been frequently
oVerruled by the higher courts. All
the great howl that has been raised
about this case will be perfectly un-
derstood by the people. It will de-
ceive nobody; and like all former dem
onstrations of similar character, it
will react upon those from whom it
emanates.
The present status of the case is as
follows: The receiver was placed in
charge of the property subject to the
orders of Judge McKsy's court, and
was required to give bond of 81, 500
for the faithful performance of his
duties and for the safety of any
moneys that may come into his pos
session. He can only sell the per-
sonal property upon Judge Mchsys
order, and when he does so he must
pay the proceeds into Judge McKsy's
court. The hearing in the foreclos-
ure suit will come up in it's regular
order, which may not occur for two
or three years; and in the meantime
it is believed that Honeywell will be
able to pay his debts and save his
property.
1t would appear from these facts
that the fools are in the newspaper
Offices that have published the false
and sensational reports respecting
this case rather than on the bench in
the person of the Alliance Judge. AS
usual the unreliability and assinine
stupidity of the editorial and repor-
torisl frsternities of the old party
press is clearly exhibited in this case

THE CASE OF JUDGE M'KAY.

Bench.
This case, which has been widely
advertised through the press of both
the old parties, has attracted much
attention; and as is usual in every
case where an Alliance man is in any
way concerned, no approach has been
made to a true statement OF facts. 1t
was necessary for the purpose of both
Republicans and Democrats that
Judge Mckay should be made to ap-
pear an ignoramus, and therefore
facts were not an essential part of
their story. These wiseacres have
proceeded upon the theory that a
case in the supreme court must be
construed as proof Of Judge McKay's
ignorance and violation of the law
before such case has ever had a hear
ing. Were this theory correct Joe
Hudson would be behind prison bars.
It is presumed therefore to be cor
rect only when it applies to Alliance
men.
The ADVOCATE is not in the habit Of
presuming TO enlighten the people
upon subject that it knows nothing
about We have therefore refrained
from rushing to the defense of Judge
Mckay until we could learn all the
facts connected with the case. 1t is
not our custom or purpose to defend
wrong simply because it may occur
within our party, and we therefore
determined to know that we were
right before making any editorial
comment upon the case. We are now
able to say that none Of the essential
facts in the case have been given to
the public by the press of the old
parties. The policy as usual has been
to deceive.
It has been reported that the occs-
sion of all this trouble has arisen
from conspiracy of Alliance men to
defraud a certain loan company Of a
mortgage claim, and that the Alliance
Judge had entered into this conspiracy,
usurped authority not warranted by
law, ignorantly overruled the orders
Of the supreme court and set up his
own authority as supreme. There is
not single word of truth in any one
Of the charges. Honeywell and his
guardian, as we'll as his attorney,
were all Republicans. The loan COM
pany had undertaken to rob Honey
well of a valuable piece Of property
and Judge McKay's court was ap-
pesled to in order to prevent the out
rage: What he did and the present
status of the case we shall let Judge
Valentine, of the supreme court, state
in his own words.
II has also been reported that
Judge Mckay was arrested and ar
raigned before the bar of the supreme
court for contempt; and upon his ap-
pearance it was also reported that
his guilt was made to appear and he
was severely reprlmanded for his Of

The Prince OF Wales Friend and His Money
Power.


From the London Truth.
Heaven" said Napoleon, sis usually on the
side Of the heavy battalions" Socially il
seems to be on the side of the heavy purses
A certain Bavarian Semitic named Hirsch made
huge fortune by transactions with the
sultan, which he increased subsequently by
transactions on the stock exchange. In Paris
society did not precisely take TO him. so he
came over to England. where he became a
member Of the Marlborough Club, the en-
tertainer and the bosom friend Of ROYALTY
and by spending freely, buying race
horses and rearing pheasants he acquired some
sort of social currency. But he was not satis-
fed with having British grandees groveling be-
fore his moneybags In Paris he had been cold
shonldered and in Paris be was determined to
haye bis revenge. He had been blackballed at
a fashionable club. So he bought the house
the club rented and threatened TO turn il out.
In the meantime he had advanced money TO the
Bouianger conspiracy at the desire of the Or
leans family. and very possibly he had per-
formed like service to some of the members
Of the family.
1. is now announced that the united efforts Of
the friends Of the Orleans family and of the
Prlnce Of Wales are being exerted to effect a
treaty o. peace. Hirsch agrees to renew the
lease OF the club FOR d long term OF years with
an understanding that he will, at flu
ture ballot, be elected n member. i am
glad to hear that some of the members of
the club are resisting this person being
forced upon them. If this sort of thing is 10
be tolerated we shall have him buying his way
into respectable English clubs and he will no
doubt follow up his success in this direction by
purchasing mortgages On the residences of our
aristocracy, and insisting, under the threat of
foreclosure, on being received in them as a
guest. This man in possession" mode of get
ting into society is quite lin du steele and opens
up vast field for plutocrats with social aspira-

Presently the baby screamed and she rushed in
and was horror stricken to find hideous black

to the armpit and was writhing in its contor-
