UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Part Of the Militia Law Declared So by
Judge johnson.

Judge johnson.
A much.mooted question that has at
traCted great deal Of attention since it
was brought up in the Hughes court
martial, is whether the commissioned
officers Of the militia have any fixed term
OF Office or hold subject to the pleasure
Of the governor. The republican lawyers
maintained that their term was at least
four years and the governor had no power
to remove them. The republican Judge,
however, holds differently, and surprises
us with an injection of common sense
and sound law into question on which
republican attorneys had already taken
stand. OF course he sides with the at
tornsys on everything else, as will be
seen from his conclusion that, "a gov
ernor or the president, like all other
citizens, are subject TO the lRw--to the
law AZ administered by the courts" This
must be 30 az the courts are mostly re-
publican and the governor is Populist.
But the only point at issue is decided as
follows:
This brings us to the next question.
Section Of the act relating to the
organization Of the militia Of the
state reads: "Enlistments in the Kansas
National guard shall be for the term Of
five years, and the commissions of all
except as hereinafter provided,
shall continue in force for the term Of
Eve years unless sooner terminated by
accepted resignation or dismissal for
cause. + +"
It was shown on the hearing that none
Of the members Of this company had
been in the service more than three TO
four years. Can they be discharged in
less than five years from their enlist
mentG This question turns upon an
other, namely: Was the enlistment o
SOubEhCb DobW0eu bH0 uou buu buS bbbloI
each Of them agreed to serve
The state FIVE years, and whereby the
state promised to retain them during
hat periodH II this was a contract then
neither the governor nor any other Off
yer possesses the right or power to sbro-
gate the same by mastering them out
without their consent in less than five
years from their enlistment. But is it
'omtrsctP The court thinks not.
By the enlistment the recruit agrees
hat he will remain for the period named
n his enlistment. The state assumes to
'etsin him no longer than that period,
out reserves, at all times the right to
discharge him whenever his services are
10 longer desired.
1t will be observed that section pro-
vides that the term Of Office OF commits
ioned officers shall be five years, unless
hey shall resign or be dismissed for
'ause. Section 2, Of article Is, of the
constitution provides that the legisls-
iure shan create no Office. the tenure Of |

American missionaries have been in
trouble of late in Turkey, China and
Japan. The Japan Herald makes the
bitter charge that the native Christian
pastors have no scruples about appropri-
aring the property Of other people," and
goes on to say that cit is well the chart,
table. although misguided, enthusiasts in
America and Europe who furnish the
funds for the support of missionaries in
China and Japan should know what has
occurred" The Mail goes into specifca-
tions Of its accusations of gross dishon-
esty.
AS to the brutal assault by Turks
upon Miss Anna Melton, a Presbyterian
missionary in Amadia, the facts of which
have been printed. the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions and the state
department of the United States are ex-
changing communications. but it Is not
unlikely that the diplomatic abyss Of
Constantinople will bury the whole topic.

An Indian Owns the Town.

Bonner's Ferry is puzzled. The citizens
don't know whether they are at home or
on Indian land. Until a few days ago
they were not worried about Indian
claims, but at present these form a very
lively topic for discussion.
The trouble was started by the an
nouncement that the government had
allotted 10 tracts Of land to the 10 heirs
of old Dick Fry, the pioneer settler at
the ferry, who married a squaw. The 10
allotments aggregate $50 acres, and one
tract of 40 acres, claimed by Arthur Fry,
includes the original town site. This has
been indifferently known as Fry's post
Office and Bonner's Ferry. 1t includes the
hotel. the ~postofice. a number Of stores
and many residences. Altogether it is
claimed to be the most valuable part Of
the town site.
The people of Bonner's Ferry do not
know what to do. Some of them think
the title a be ~overthrown. Others are
inclined to think the Indians title indie
feasible and attempt q compromise. The
fact that If this title is sound he will not
be able to dispose Of the land for a quar-
ter of a century adds perplexity to the
case, although attorneys say there may
be ways to remove that dificulty.-Spo-
kane Chronicle.

An Excuse For Fighting.

Joseph Chamberlain, in the speech he
was not permitted to deliver, got as far
as to liken Gladstone to Herod. He was
on the verge Of hkening the home rulers
to the innocents. Atthat point their in
dignation became insupportable. The
fist fight which followed was a healthier
and manlier than the reduction
of expression to a science Of insult within
the elastic limits Of parliamentary per-
instability. 1t is better to call a man a
liar and have him to hit you in the nose
than it is to declare that he is the lineal
descendant Of the impenitent thief who
died OF the cross and for him to reto1.
that you are a blank leaf between the Old
and New Testaments. Brooklyn Eagle.

Mr.. William Pethick, United States
vice consul, for many years a confiden-
tial adviser to H. E. Ii Hung Chang, has
resigned his position of manager of the
railway and after 81 years of continu-
u residence in China is going home.
His thorough acquaintance with the
Chinese language. his indefatigably
studious habits, his almost unequaled
opportunities Of observation and knowl-
edge. give a weight to what he says
about China which would not belong
probably to 10 others in the empire. It
is well known that he has prepared a
~compendious work on the life Of his
great patron Ii. and it is hoped that the
work may soon be published.-China

Beatty's pianos and Organs,

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great Or
gan and Piano mar of Washington, Nj,
is buster than ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty
left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell go far, nearly 100 900
OF Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to dishearten him obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary man forever; he
turns to an advertisement and comes out
of it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in use everywhere. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 200 900 more OF his
make. That means a business of $20,-
900, 900, if we average them at 800 each.
1t is already the largest business OF the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.

The Comets Engagements.

Isn't it lucky that the comet has
changed its course!
No doubt you know that the little
blazing thing has been the direct cause
of hundreds and hundreds of engage
ments, and what summer girl likes the
prospect of devoting the whole of lovely
August and September and golden Octo-
Der to one solitary man?
Somehow or other looking at the stars
makes love making men dreadfully seri-
ous All you have to do is to stand one
of him on a back porch with an opera
glass and a girl, and he'll never dream
that welded life is Swallowed by such
things as grocery bills and icemen.
Lets go look at the cometl" Marie
would exclalm every time she had a
caller to entertain. There's the very
loyeliest place upon our roof'-and away
shed fly, followed by the unsuspecting
visitor.
Sometimes the visitor thought it rather
strange that the roof was covered with
a nice rug and that little divans seemed
plentiful, but he never said anything.
He just looked wise and put all his ath-
letic strength into helping a beruf1ed
and belaced little figure to Chamber up
steep ladders. When the figure got to
the top she was sure that she could never
get down again, and If she wandered
within 10 feet of the edge of the roof she
clutched desperately at a coat lapel. and
then he always had to locate the comet
for her-but Of course you understand.
So Of course 1t is a good thing that the
comet finally went away. = Chicago
