Sufficient Cause For Suicide.

Men have died from time TO time
and worms have eaten them, but NOS
for love-" And there have been suls
cides for varions reasons. Causes
great or small, have borne down with
sufficient weight to overcome that
dread of death, which. in greater or
less degree sways every man.
To a Philadelphia felo de sc belongs
the distinction of having assigned a.
puzzling relationship as the burden
which made death the only release.
In an unguarded moment this rash
man married q widow who had a
grown up daughter His father court
ed and married the girl, thereby be-
coming his sons son-in-law, while the
sons stepdaughter now became his
mother.
In the course of time a son was born
to each of these mixed up families.
By this event the man who married
the widow with the grown up daughter
became brother to his fathers child
and at the same time its grandfathef
for its mother was his stepdaughters
His wife WAS his grandmother becausS
she was his stepmother's mother He
was also his wifes husband and grand.
child at the same time. And as this
consanguineal freak figured it the
husband of a persons grandmother
must be his grandfather. Without
waiting to see what the whirligig of
individual committed suicide because
he could not struggle under the bure
den vf being grandfather To himself.
Going 10 the root of the trouble it is
grown up daughter was responsible.

THERE is an element in the peoples
party that is secretly conniving to keep
the republicans of this state in po wer.
It is that element which refuses To lis
ten to any reasonable plan to form a
platform of principles common tn both
the democracy and the alliance, upon
which the opposition to the republican
party can stand and fight the common
enemy. Tie "keep-in-the- middle-of-
the-road" element, if it is allowed to
control the action of the peoples party,
will be responsible for the triumphal
continuation OF tie legislation which
has been the source of all the ills that
the People complain of Fort Scott

day.
FROM all over the state went petition
after petition. ssigned by the frank
and fle'' of republicans, asking the
governor to appoint Ingalls, to the
vacant senatorship. The governors
reply to the petitions was that ''he
didn't know that ingalls, was repub-
lican." OF course not. Our p;ghead-
ed governor has the reputation Of be-
ing the greatest know nothing in the
state when his own personal interests
are at stake. The rank and Gle"
fellows will kick little for time;
will sweat under the collar and chafe
at the bOssism Of the fxers; but when
the next election comes around they
will whoep er up just as loud as ever
and hurrah for anything and every
thing that is labeled republican 40
matter who puts on the labels or
selects the contents. That is charac-
teristic of Kansas republicanism. The
Hudsons, the Murdocks, the Ciarks.
Lewis's and Caraways will all proclai 10
that the SELECTION of Perkins was the
wisest and most ultra republican
thing to do, and the frank and file''
fellows will say Yes that's so. 'Rah
for protection"
AT LAST the scramble for the dead
Kansas senator's shoes isover; Humph-
rey has named Elk Congressman
Perkins for the place. and thatlucky(?)
individual has FASTENED to Washing
ton to begin drawing his salary. Self
preservation is the first law Of republi-
can politicians cf the Humphrey calibre
and in ilaming the u S. Senator that
gentleman took particular pains to
Look after his own future. Perkins
WAS the only prominent candidate
talked of for the next congressman for
Humphrey s district, and as Humphrey
will soon be out of a job as governor
he wants to go to congress-hence
Perkins was the best man for the
senatorial position. There is many
slip twixt the present and the next
congressional election, and Uriah
Humphrey will probably find little
opposition to his scheme, even among
his own kind.

NEW YORK. March %.
In the stock market to-day the industrials
owing to partial confirmation Of the rumors in
regard to acquisition of new properties in
Philadelphia by the Sugar trust, became the
leading features. Sugar was bought cautiously
and the improvement in the price was small,
but its influence upon other industrlals was pro-
nounced, especially upon cordrge stocks and
Chicago Gas. New England and Lake Shore
were conspicuous for their early strength.
Realizations checked the advance in Sugar and
Lake Shore and a dropping tendency was given
to the whole list in the early operations. The
rally the list toward noon, but persistent reali-
cations in Reading, Lake Shore and later in
Northern Pacific preferred induced putting out
Of short contracts, and the afternoon was
wound up with vigorous attack upon the
entire list. Lake Shore fell away 2M per cent
Northern Pacific preferred 234 and others
smaller amounts. Sugar lost all its early ad-
vance. The marset closed active and weak al

were in the industrials.

CHIEF RYLANDs AHEAD.
The Bridgeport QUO Warranto Ca
Decided-Quite q Stir in the Gil


The Bridgeport Quo Warranto Case
Declded-Quite q Stir in the City
Over It.
BRIDaEpoRT, March 23.-The anxiously-
awaited decision in the Rylsnds Pinkerman
quo warranto proceedings was received by
Clerk William R. Shelton of the superior
court this morning. It is favorable to
Chief of Police John Rylands in all partic-
ulars. The court says: cit is admitted
that in January, 1890, he was legally
chosen to that Office and duly qualified.
It is admitted that from that time down to
June IS he lawfully exercised the duties Of
| that Office. The contention on behalf of
the respondent as set up in the pleading is
that the relator has since lost his right to
| that Office"
The court holds that at the meeting of
| the police commissioners at which Rylands
was alleged to have been dismissed there
was no legal quoram present.
A notice of an appeal to the supreme
court was filed.
Friday Judge Prentice will hold a hear.
ing for a peremptory mandate ordering
Captain Pinkerman to let Chief of Police
Johd Rylands assume command at once.
The decision coming as it does just be-
fore the city election has created great
stir in the city. This is the third decision
that has been rendered in favor of CHIEF
Rylands, Chief Justice Andrews having
recently declared the ordinance which wal
passed abolishing his Office illegal ano
Judge Hall having in an injunction sui
declared Walsh an usurper Of the Office O.
police commissioner.
To-night's Bridgeport Standard say
editorially of the result:
"It was foregone conclusion to ever.
thoughtful man who had followed the con
test. Though occasionally there were le
gal intricacies that were bewildering, tn
main points were never lost sight of b.
the mass of the plain people, who seldom
go astray. They may have been fooled
part of the time; they could not all b
fooled all the time, to paraphrase Presiden
Lincoln's words. Still it needed the sea
of the court 10 enable them to stand befor
the world and defy criticism of thei
faith. That seal is now given, under tn
able hand of Judge Samuel o. Prentice.
"And what does it mean to the men VIII
have wantonly and recklessly made them
selves the foes of good government? Il
every line of the admirably written fndin
read the answer. And when the ballots
are cast the first Monday in April, thel
again read the answer of the people,"

THE COLEMAN WILL CONTEST.

THE COLEMAN WILL CONTEST.
In the probate court yesterday afternoon the
arguments in the Coleman will contest were
made before Judge Robertson. The arguments
were opened by Judge York, the counsel for Mrs.
Coleman, in support of the will. In the course of
his remarks he said that the conditions that sur
rounded Mr.. Coleman at times were peculiar, but
his condition at the time he made the will was
the question to be taken into consideration. He
admitted that Mr.. Coleman was at times addicted
to the use Of liquor and had eccentric character
istics but he was shrewd, sharp man. He &C.
cumulated some property, and he bequeathed it
as he wanted it to go. OF the witnesses who tes-
titled against his mental condition five were IN
the lifetime time Of his death Goldman Was thoronghiy
capable OF making will.
For the contestants Attorney J. P. Goodha TT
claimed two things, first that Mr.. Coleman was
unable to make will and secondly that he was
| unduly influenced. AS to the first point he
| before his death that Mr. Coleman was crazy
| and then referred to the testimony of witnesses
me Of
| instead Of his mind improving it failed in pro
to hs body snd was
| influence, he mentioned the fact that Druggist
Conway had never entered Mr.. Coleman's house
| until the time the will was drawn.
| At the conclusion Of the arguments j Judge Rob
ertson took the papers in the case and reserved
| his decision remarking that it would probably be
as he int :nded 70 weigh the evidence on both
| sides very carefully before rendering his de
| cision.
AN INHERITANCE ATTACHED FOR $50.
