Lurid Hued Campaign.

Froln The Atchison Champion.
When Commodore Murdoch is nominated
for governor we shall have lurid hued cam
paign, but it will be very successful one.
For sterling personal worth, for unques-
toned ability, for peculiar fitness for the place
on the score of availability and of state graft
tude TO a man who has done more TO buili III
and develop Kansas than any other fifty even
of her most prominent citizens, Colonel Muir
dock heads the list. If Kansas Republicans
exercise their usual sagacity and are anxious
TO nominate governor whose candidacy will
sweep the state like prairie fire and roll up a
5000 majority in November next, they will
proceed to nominate by reclamation Marshall
NJ. Murdoch.

If Governor Flower agrees with the
state legislature, that has amended the
electrocution law of York state, pro-
viding for the admission Of witnesses to
such events and the publication in the
newspapers of accounts thereof, the
new mode Of executing the death pen
atty to criminals will speedily lose its
objectionable features. The popular OBJ
lection has not been so much against the
mode as to the mystery that was en-
veloped in the secret law. The admin
iStration Of all law wants to be open, to
satisfy the people.

The territories of New Mexico,
Arizon, Utah and Oklahoma are knock
ing at the doors of congress for admis-
sion to the Union, with poor prospect of
their being successful. All but the Sec
ond have sufficient population to entitle
them to the distinguished consideration
sought for. but other conditions that
have kept them in their territorial con-
ditiOn still obtain and are not likely to be
SO changed as to make their admission
to statehood admissible in the very near
future. Tt is not probable that any adj
ditional stars will be put upon the field
of the flag this year.

But Topeka is Friendly.

from the Wichita Mirror,
1t was expected that the Topeka papers
would have before now suggested that the
high Morrill, tone of the northeastern portion
OF the state would preclude the possibility of
Marsh Murdock,s nomination. Perhaps, how
ever, the chaste character of the colonel's ar
ticles on the moving panorama of living,
sentient flesh as revealed to his enraptured
eyes meath wind-tossed skirts" have con-
WINGED them that he is not so black as at times
they have endeayored to paint him.

A contest was made in Philadelphia
last week over a codicil to the will of
Herman Theophiius Plate, which was
drawn up few days before he died. He
tried to sign it, but coull only make
stroke of the pen, which was taken as
representing the first stroke of the letter
II. The register of wills refused to ad-
NIT the codicil to probate, but the
orphans court reversed the decision, de-
claring that whatever the testator in
tended for his signature was valid
signing, no matter how imperfect or I'M
finished, or faDtastical or illegible, or even
false, the characters or symbols might
be. The only point about which there
should be any difficulty or over which
to make contest in such case as this
would be the proof of the signature.
This established, and the ruling of the
last court mentioned must stand in
equity regardless of technicalities.

being right royalty handled by his newspaper

to nominate him.

ENGINES OR MAINS I?
Means of Increased Fire Pro-
lection Discussed.
THE CHIEF is FOR SALT WATER.
Proposal to Provide Engines for Lake
Washington District Discussed BY
the Fro Board.

special meeting Of the board OF fire com.
missioners was held las. evening to discuss the
question of increased fire protection for GER
tain parts OF the city by the purchase OF addi-
tional apparatus Aldermen Cram and Carle
and DELEGATES Calligan and Ryan, OF the fire
and water committees OF theic respective
houses, were present.
The matter was thoroughly discussed the
main difference of opinion being as to whether
a first-class or second-class engine should be
purchased. If the frst-clsss engine is to be had
1t would be placed down town, and second
class engine now on hand moved out to the
Lake Washington district In case two second
class engines were bought they would both be
placed in the same district Additional appa-
ratus required would be two or three hose
wagons, one truck, aud 1000 or 5000 feet OF
hose. With one new engine the cost would be
about $1,000, and with two about $4,000. In ad-
dtion it would be necessary to establish and
maintain either one or two new companies OF
tremen to man the new engines.
After the proposed purchases had been
thoroughly discussed Chief Kellogg stated to
the board that in his opinion the proper solution
OF the fire protection question was in the estab-
Hshment OF salt water mains in the business
part OF the city, through which water could be
pumped by the freboat. In this way more
water could be placed ON Third street than the
department could handle. The cost would not
be more than that OF the apparatus which it
was proposed to purchase, plus the salaries for
a year of the men required in the new COM
panies that would be needed. II the mains were
laid no extra men would be needed, and at least
two of the engines now down town could be
moved out to protec. the district spoken of.
No action was taken further than to request
the fire and water committees to take the matter
under consideration.
