BAD FOR GERRYMANDERS,

Only few weeks since the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin declared the legis-
lative apportionment act os the Demo-
cratic Legislature of Wisconsin to be
unconstitutional, and the Democratic
Legislature has been in session to pass
another law creating Legislative dis
tricts. And now comes the decision of
the Supreme Court of Michigan declar-
ing that the Democratic legislative ap-
portionment law of that State is uncon-
stitutional. and decreeing that unless the
Legislature shall meet and make an.
other apportionment the Republican
act OF 1881 will remain in force. The
Supreme Courts in both these States
are composed Of men belonging to
both political parties; nevertheless,
In both instances, the decisions are that
the Democratic apportionment laws are
In direct violation of the letter of the
State Constitutions, thus practically
convicting the Democrats of intelligence
In both bodies of conspiracy to ignore
the organic law of the States. In
Rochester, n. Y. Republicans are TAX
ing steps to test the gerrymander which
the stolen Legislature passed in that
State, and which Democratic super
visors in New York and Kings counties
are SO unscrupulously applying as to de-
prive at least IT'S. 900 Republican voters
of representation in the next Assembly.
Is it impossible that the gerrymander
of the last General Assembly in this
State. which Secretary of State Mat
thews amended to save it by adding
counties to districts, cannot be set aside
as being unconstitutional No more
shameless piece of gerrymandering was
ever done than that of the Legislature
of 1891. Ia it too late to follow the ex-
ample of Wisconsin and Michigan7 1t
seems to the average layman that an
apporti0nment act which was amended
by State official, when the fact is
proved, should be set aside. The Con-
stItution of Indiana may not be as OK
plicit in regard to legislative apportiOn-
ment as are those of the States named;
still, it seems that the inquiry might be
pushed, to the end that it may be ascer-
tanned if the destruction of representa-
tive government in Indiana is cOnstitu-
tional.

DEATH OF TWO BDlL.-FlGHTERs.
Party of American Tourists Witness Brutal
and Tragic Exhibition in Mexico.

SAN LUIS PoTosI, Mexico. July ga
sickening accident occurred here last night
at bull-fight witnessed by electric light
In the new ring near the city limits. There
were fully five thousand people present,
among them being number of American
tourists. The matador. Alberto LINER
tura, was in the act of giving the third
bull fatal thrust with his short sword,
when he slipped and fell. The frenzied
bull had him on his horns in o moment. and
was gorinR him ferOci0usIy, when three of
the banderilleros rushed to the rescue.
They Haunted their scarlet closks in front
OF the bull number of times without at
tracing his attention from the fallen mat
ador. Suddenly he charged upon ore
of the banderilleros, who sought protection
tehind barrier erected for that purpose.
The bull overlook him ami caught him on
the sharp points of his horns. which pene-
trated entirely through the mans body.
The crowd was wild with excitement, the
Mexicans cheering the bull for his grand
fighting Qualitles and when tho bngle
sounded for the lassadores to come in and
THROW the mad animal to be killed, tho
spectators protested vehemently against
such action. The dead body of the BAN
derilerO remained upon the bulls horns
until the animal was killed. The matador
died while being removed from the ring.

COLONEL KING AND HIS PUNISHMENT.

The friends of Col. H. Clay King. of
Memphis, are making desperate efforts
to save him from the gallows, but, from
the present outlook, are not likely to
succeed. They have exhausted the re-
sources of the State courts, an effort to
have the case transferred to the federal
Circuit Court has failed, and as last re-
sort an attempt will be made to get it in
some shape before the United States
Supreme Court. The probabilities are,
however, that unless executive in
reference can be secured Colonel
King will be hanged according
to the sentence of the court.
King was prominent and wealthy citi-
zen of Memphis, who fell into disrepu-
table habits and abandoned his wife for
the society of another woman, also
prominent and highly connected"
Eventually he quarreled with this
woman and brought suit against her to
recover some property. The defend
ants attorney permitted her on the wit
ness stand to reflect upon the chara cter
of Kings wife, and this so enraged
King that he attack ed the man on the
street later and shot him dead. If it
had been an ordinary case of defense of
wife's good name he would probably
not have been convicted, bat in view of
the circumstances, and the fact
that he had previously shown SO
little consideration for his wife. even
n Southern jury could not uphold him.
He was found guilty of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be hanged,
but, in spite of the nature of his deed
and bis misconduct leading up to it, the
sentence was a great shock to that class
of Southern "old families" whose male
members have for generations been free
with their revOlvers and have consid-
cred themselves exempt from legal con-
sequences. The hanging of an offender
of this class will have a wholesome eff
feet in creating a respect for law and
teaching the community that murder is
q crime that even Southern gentle
man" cannot commit without receiving
due punishment. The shock caused by
the hanging of H. Clay King will be
painful but salutary.
