IT WAS : DIFFERENT PROPOSITION.

TO the Editor Of the Eagle.
SIR was somewhat taken aback at
seeing my postal card in reference to
what you had said anent the senator
ship-published in your issue of the 25th
ult.-published in last Sundays paper.
And, permit me to say, was astonished
that, after reading the paragraph of the
constitution cited, you should still per-
sist in your clearly falIacious opinion.
The language of the second paragraph
Of section 8 OF the first article, quote
the latter part only, is: and if vacan-
cies happen by resignation or otherwise,
during the recess of the legislature of
any state, the executive thereof may
make temporary appointments until the
next meeting of the legislature, which
shall Their fill said vacancies"
There is a popular idea that elective or
appointIve officers hold until their sue
cessors are elected and qualified. That
is simply popular mistake into which
you seem to have falleU. Now any law
yer Of experience will tell you that the
term of every officer closes with the last
day of the term for which he was elected
or appointed, unless the statute express
ly provides otherwise, which it often
does in the case of executive and minis
terial offices to prevent a lapse IN public
business.
I fancy Judge Reed would not under
take TO hold the office or discharge the
duties Of judge az hour after his term
expired even though no successor had
qualified.
But in the case of senator the question
has been adjudlcated for more than
half a century. In the matter
of Phelps of Vermont appointed
to fill vacancy occurring in the inter-
OF the legislature, and who
sought to retain his seat after the legis-
lature had met and adjourned sine die
without filling the vacancy: he was re-
fused TO recognize his right, but held
that an executive appointment to fill a
vacancy, expires with the adjournment
of the next session of the legislature Of
the state after the appointment So that
If the legislature meets after such APP
pointment and adjourns without elect !
ing a senator the seat becomes vacant"
See McCrary on elections, section 326.

Too Late For Hints.

From the Leavenw erth Time-.
Last Sunday the Wichita EAGLE sug-
gested that now the election of senator
and state printer is over the Republicans
in the Legislature might as well submit
to the Populists. The suggestion was a
good one. It was good because it brought
forth such a storm of indignant protests
from the Republican press that if any
Republican member of tie legislature
had any idea that the people were weak
ening ne was taught better. We will
charge Marsh Murdoch no hing for this
hint as to an explanation OF his break.

England's representative at Washing
ton gives out the assurance that his gov

United States establishing a protectorate
over the Sandwich islands. Perhaps So;
but Uncle Sam don't want to wait very

that line. Britain is famous for employ
ing decoy ducks, and, if gwen half a
chance, she will plant her own flag there
and undertake TO defend it-by bluff, at

KIND HEARTS.

L''Kind hearts are more than coronets. u
God forms alike each living soul,
His breath divine gives consciousness;
Tie outward trappings but enfold,
The jewel bearing His impress,
He gives to each volition free,
To cultivate as seemeth best.
Tie intellect, the heat, the will,
Regardless OF the outward crest.
And when the soul returns again,
What think We will His judgment be?
Shall feats of intellect commend.
Or earthly treasures plead for thee?
Nay, from the heart life issues spring,
His favor shall surely rest
On kindly words. and deeds that prove
Obedience to divine behest,
The heart from selfish motives purged,
That seeks to give no needless pain,
Shall from the God of Love receive
y higher need than earthly gain.
Then Judge not o. immortal man,
By naught but treasures Of the heart;
All else is vanity, and can
Meier peace. or JOY 10 thee impart.
ALMEDA L. WIGHT.

In view Of the very strong probability
Of congress enacting some sweeping

effort for legislatures to adoptreselutions

POP PATTERN ALISM,
From the Kansas Gazette.

From the Kansas Gazette.
Ga the stump the Populist orators have
demanded the abolition Of useless officers
and the cutting down of extravagant sala-
ries. But instead of cutting down, now
that the offices fall TO them, they are add
ing to the number. They are employing
more clerks about the capitol than did the
Republicans, and actually propose to create
number of other offices. Bills for the
creation of at least a dozen new Offices are
already before the legislature and will
pass If this legislature ever passes any
thing.
