JUDGE Mckay.

The trial of the case against Judge
Mckay for alleged contempt Of the SUI
preme court of Kansas, took place at
Topeka last Thursday. Judge Mckay,
IN his action, had not shown any con-
tempt for the court, but he doubtless
entertains quite supply of contempt
for that court at this time. If he does
not, he is better natured than the ma
Jority of men in this county.
There was persistent and systemat-
&c attempt to make Judge Mckay apol-
oglze for his action; but he and his
attorney persistently refused to acknow-
ledge that he had done anything wrong,
and they insisted that the court go into
The merits OF the case, feeling confident
that if the court understood the case as
they did, that the supreme court would
sustain his action. Two Of the judges
we're in favor Of hearing the case, but
Judge Horton would not have it that
way. 1t seemed that he was seeking
for chance TO reprimand Judge Nc
Kay, and would only listen to evidence
pertaining to the matter of contempt.
Finding that Judge Mckay had done
nothing worthy of censure, Judge Hor-
ton, instead Of Diminishing the case, con-
tinued 1t till the first day Of September.
This is simply a threat by Judge HOr-
ton, and was made to bring reproach
on Judge Mckay. The case ia one
where judge pro tenn, during Judge
Ellis term, appointed a man named
Burr as receiver for the estate of an in
sane man named Honeywell. When
Judge Mckay, was elected, the friends
OF Honeywell asked to have q guardian
appointed. Judge Mckay appointed a
guardian, and then ordered the receiver
to turn over the property to the guar
dian. He refused, and, by order of
Judge Mckay, was arrested and put In
Jail. He was released on habeds corpus
De1ore the supreme court, and was
again placed in possession of the prop
erty. Burr, the receiver. was the agent
for the Commonwealth Trust Company.
which held a mortgage on Honeywelrs
property. Judge Mckay reasoned that
Burr was not tit man for receiver.
and had not qualified for the place.
and again removed him. He took the
sensible ground that there was no ne
cessity for receiver and a guardian.
both, and there was absolute necessity
for a guardian. AS Burr had never
been appointed guardian, and had not
qualified as receiver, the Judge rightly
decided to remove him.
A systematic effort has been made to
make this appear as fight between the |
alliance and the republican party. All
such talk is rot. Honeywell is repub-
lican. The guardian is a republican,
and the men who are doing most for
the removal of Burr are republicans.
If the supreme court, laboring under
a misaprehension, makes an order that
is wrong in itself, shall that order be
Obeyed by district judge Who knows
all the circumstances? Judge Mckay
thought not, and his judgment will be
sustained by as good lawyers as are in
the state. The supreme court has de-
clded otherwise, and Judge Mckay will
obey the decision. There the matter

fla suit of clothes can be bought in
England for six dollars, and brought to
New York for ten cents, the importer
could sell to the consumer for about
seven dollars, and make a good profit
of about Is per cent. But the tariff on
such suit is about seven dollars, and
the importer is compelled to add this to
the cost of the suit. 1t now costs him
$l3.lO, and he has to sell at S15.O5 in or

fail to see where the tariff has reduced

it They are trying to have each coun.

fund, and have dished out $4,000 to be
