went of the present term of court, Brennan
would have been entitled to discharge,
which would have operated as an acquittal.
By entering a nolle, I Isvoided such dls
charge aud as the statutes of limitation
do not run against murder, the case can
be commenced again whenever jury can
be obtained to try the case"
Should there not be some way provided
by which the state might secure change Of
venue in such cases2
/ do not know about that: The consti-
tutional provision that a man can only be
tried in the county or district where the
crime is alleged to have been committed. is
as old as our government, ,and it was thought
by che trainers Of the federal constitution
to be good one.
"One of the counts in the indictment
against George III, that was found by that
memorable grand jury which met in Phila-
delphia in 1776, commonly called the Dec
laration Of Independence charged him
with transporting alleged criminals beyond
the high seas for trial. To provide against
outrages, the trainers of our federal con-
stitution provided that all persons accused
of crime should only be tried in the district
where the crime was alleged TO have been
committed. This provision has been copied
in the constitution of all the states.
"The reason of the provision is that che
accused might have the benefit of Conven-
iSntly procuring witnesses for his defense
and the benefit of his former good chsrsc-
ter, il he had any, and have all its rights
jealously guarded against any conspiracy
that might be formed against him-the law
presuming him innocent until proven guilty
beyond reasonable doubt, and guarantee
ing to him that twelve good men and true of
his own country should pass upon the evil
dence offered of his guilt.
"This provision is wise one, and one Of
the sheet anchors Of the liberty of the citi-
zens, but the wise men who formed the con-
stitution, and thought they had guarded the
rights of the people, never for one moment
dreamed of Kansas under the control of an
unchecked political party, would, in their
greed to make holes in which to stick pegs,
organize southwestern sand, wind and coy
otes into counties with scarcely more people
in them than were required TO fll the offices,
and thereby make il possible that the wise
and bene6cent provisions of the constitu-
tion should stand as shield to prevent JUS
tioe from reaching cold bloOded assassin,
who chooses to shoot in the back citizen in
the very door of the temple of justice dur
ing the term of a court"
Would the resignation of Judge Botkin,
in your opinion, quiet matters in the south
west2
at undoubtedly would have tendency in
that direction. Many of the people in that
district believe, as did the majority Of the
Senate, that Judge Botkin should have been
removed, and do not take kindly TO his pre-
siding at courts in that district. But it would
by no means remedy the great evil; so long
as il is impossible to organize court where
persons accused of crime can be tried by q

power TO do 80, and probably would exercise
the right. But what Of thatg The laws Of
the United States provide that the governor
shall appoint Senator TO all vacancy
until a meeting of the legislature"
"They nowhere, chat / have ever seen,
provide that the governor shall refuse 10
call the legislature together for fear that
his appointee might be replaced by some
body whom the representatives Of the peo-
pie might see at to place in che United
States Senate. And IL such were the case,
that the Legislature which represents the
people in their majesty sees flt to choose
another than the man appointed by the gov
ernor, il certainly 10 in accord with the spirit
of our government and with true republi-
Canism to allow them to do so.
"While it might not, possibly, be good
policy to convene the legislature for the
purpose of eleCting United States Senator
alone, yet certainly it is neither good states
manship nor is IL good republiCanism TO say
that large portion Of the state shall 60
without courts, that life and property shall
not have the protection Of the law simply
because in remedying chat evil, an officer
who was accidentally appointed BY the gov
ernor might be removed, and one whom
the representatives Of the people choose, be
put in his place.
There are other reasons why the legisla-
ture should be convened. II Kansas has q
representation in the worlds Columbian
industrial exhibition, feel satisfied that IL
can only make a reputable exhibit there by
legislative aid. The last Legislature failed
TO make appropriations for many Of the
state institutions-notably, the educational
institutions Of the state. And there are
various other matters which at the present
time require legislative action.
"The calling together Of the Legislature in
an extra session is not so extraordinary 90
some might think. It has certainly BEEN
done in other Etates, and even in this state
there il precedent for il, and there are pro-
visions made in our law for cOnvening the
legislature when such necessity exists.
"It is true it would be attended with some
expense, but the sending Of troops and mu-
nitions Of war TO the different portions Of
the state in order TO enable judge 10 sit
upon a bench with a Winchester within
reach when no jury could be obtained TO try
important cases are also attended with some
expense, and If peace has her victories 10
well as war. war is attended with expense as
well as peace.
~ am most emphstically Of the opinion
that such an emergency exists as would
justify the calling together of the legisla-
ture, and the taking Of steps which would
enable the laws Of the state TO be enforced
in the courts, and life and property pro-
tected."

BRENNAN A FREE NAN.

Pat Coney's prophecy that Sam Wood
would be murdered and that his MUIR
derer would not be punished for his
crime has been literally fulfilled. Owing
to the impossibility Of procuring jury
in the county where the crime was COM
mitted, the attorney general has entered
q nolIe In the case and the prisoner has
been dismissed. The reason assigned
for this course is that, had the case been
again called aud jury not secured, the
prisoner would be entitled to discharge
under the statute which would have
operated as an acquittsl. The course
pursued by the attorney general leaves
Brennan subject to rearrest If the condi-
tionS are ever such that he can be tried.
AT present Brennan Is q free man. The
law is powerless to punish this cold
bIooded assassin.
The Kansas Democrat of January %,
published an interview upon the subject
which we reproduce, that should be
read by every citizen of Kansas:
Attorney General Ives is strongly in favor
Of calling the legislature together at once.
A Democrat reporter discovered this fact
to-day while in search of information on
another subject.
Mr.. Ives was asked if the release of Bren-
nan, the assassin of Col. Sam Wood, might
not intensity the bitter feeling existing in
Judge Botkin's district and possibly lead to
further troublep He replied: "Some of
the late Col. Woods friends, who do not un-
derstand the situation, may not feel right
about it.
''IF you intend to publish anything in
reference to that matter l wish you would
state IL fully, so that the people will have a
clear understand ng of it.
"The course took was the only one left
to the state, if we ever hope to try the case.
The statutes Of the state provide that If
the state fails to bring the criminal case to
trial at the second term after information
has been filed, where the defendant is in
custody, that he shall be entitled to be dis
charged for the offenses for which he was
committed, unless the delay shall happen
on account of the application of the prison.
or, or shall be occasiOned by reason of the
court not having time TO try the case at that
term.
81 endeavored, in November, to obtain a
jury in Stevens county to try the case, and
could not. There were 1877 men called into
the jury box and not one juror positively
obtained. And there were, was informed
by good authority, but fifteen more persons
in the county subject to jury duty, and a
part of those were disqualified. The state
had six and the defendant twelve perempt-
Ory challenges, 80 you see it would be i'm
possible to get jury.
81 attempted to take a change of venue

court has decided that can only be done

jury, the troubles in that portion Of the
state will, in my opinion, continue. Murder
cannot be punished until jury can be OBJ
tanned to try the accused"
What, in your opinion, is the proper solu-
tion Of the problemS
"In my opinion nothing short of legisla-
tive action, which will disorgsnize the farce
of courts in those sparsely settled counties,
and the attaching OF the territory to more
populous counties for judicial purposes, win
remedy the evil"
Do you think that the next legislature
will do that3
81 see no necessity for delaying the mat
ter till 1888. Il should be done at once.
The people elected members of the legisls-
ture to serve for two years, and they still
have the power to act. The governor has the
power to convene them, and should do so
at once. Had it been in November when it
was demonstrated that no jury could be OBJ
tanned to try Brennan, poossibly this last
bloodshed might have been avoided, and
what is true of Stevens county is true of
several others, and murder may be COM
mitted In them with like results any day.
"The greater portion of the people in
those counties would be law-abiding citizens
if they were insured Of the protection of the
laws, but few lawlesS persons can and do
terrorize the whole community. The pro-
lection of life and property, and the good
name Of the state demands that no time
should be lost in cOnvening the legislature
to remedy the evil"
But it is alleged that the calling together
of the legislature would iDjure the financial
credit of the statep
"Yes, am aware that few politicians
who claim to be leaders Of the party which
was dominant in the state claim to know
better how to manage the affairs of the state
than the people do, but this savors more of
monarchy than of republiCanism.
"When did these few get strain Of the
divine blood of monarchs in their veins, and
from whence did it come? Will the whole

dation it is for the financial condition Of

troops have to be sent TO protect Judge

their money. Do you not think soG"

Columbus Day in Baltimore.

The Catholic churches Of Baltimore
will celebrate the 400th anniversary Of
the landing Of Columbus in an appropri-
ate manner. An elaborate programme
is being arranged at the suggestion Of
Cardinal Gibbons, who is deeply inter-
ested in having a suitable religious and
civic display on Oct. 10. The religious
celebration, according to a Baltimore
paper, viii include masses in all of the
Catholic churches at an early hour, and
at:11 O'clock pontifcal high mass will be
celebrated by Cardinal Gibbons in the
cathedral. All of the priests Of the city
will be invited to be present at this
mass. The Rev. DR.. O'Gorman, of the
Catholic university at Washington, has
been selected to preach the sermon. The
pope has announced his intention to
write an encyclical letter on the discov-
cry of America and the position which
the church at Rome occupied at that
! time toward Columbus and the assist
ance which was rendered him by the
church. |he programme of the civic
display has not been decided upon, but
it will probably include big torchlight
procession, in which the Catholic Benev-
olent legion, the Young Catholic Friends
society and all the societies and lyceums
of the various churches will be invited
to unite.

SILVER IN THE SENATE.

The silver men won notable victory
in the Senate in securing the immediate
calling up of the Stewart free coinage
bill, which had been reported adversely
early in the session by the finance COM
mittee and placed on the calendar.
Every Democratic senator who voted.
except Palmer of Missouri, Gray Of Del
aware, Villas Of. Wisconsin and White Of
Louisiana, voted yea, and every Republi-
can, except those from what are known
as the silver States, voted nay. The
effect of the vote will be to keep the bill
before the Senate until it can be brought
to vote. When chat will be is uneer-
tain, inasmuch as the Senate has no rule
for limiting debate, but the antl-silver
men will not be able to stave it off more
than few weeks. The vote on the call
ing up Of the bill practically assures it's
passage when avote is reached. It will
then go to'the House and be referred to
the coinage committee, which is con-
trolled by the free coinage men, so that
an early and favorable report in that
bodyis altogether probable. MI. Bland
is therefore likely to get another chance
to push his fayorite measure, and under
circumstances too, rather more prornis-
ing than before. The Stewart bill is a
free coinage measure pure and simple,
with no redeeming feature about it.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

K. Z. Brown, who went to Colorado in
1859 without dollar, has now nearly
completed at Denver the finest hotel west
of the Mississippi, which will cost him
$1,000, 900. A quarter section of land,
which he entered thirty years ago for
$500 is today worth $5,000,O00.

The conductor took them on their way
and telegraphed the officers of the road,

The question which is taking prece-
dence of all others in the minds of Re-
publicans of the country at the present
time is the attitude of Mr.. Blaine tow
ards the Presidential nomination
whether, if nominated with substantial
unanimity he will accept, or whether he
will refuse under any land all circum-
stances. And on this question reports
are SO numerous and contradictory that
it is impossible to arrive at satisfactory
determination. Four years ago Mr..
Blaine would undoubtedly have been
nominated in spite Of his Paris letter had
