The county attorneys, in their state
meeting at Topeka the first of the week,
among other things, resolved to do all in
their power rs officials to secure the en-
forcement of the present law in relation
10 the assessment of property for taxa
ton, which law provides for such assess
ment at the actual value of the property.
The resolution manifested the right spirit,
but the trouble the attorneys will have
to contend with in having the law en-
forced is the absence of any penalty in
the law for its noncompliance. All
they can DO to secure the enforcement
of the law is to have the law amended
by the addition of a clause fixing a pen
atty for failure to obey its provisions.
This done, and the assessors and super
visors Will comply without the interven-
ton of the county attorneys.

THE FATHER OF FUSION.

John Martin, the United States Pop.
senator elected by dwellings rump, is
not loved by Grover the Great, who has
notified his friends that if a straight
Democrat is now elected by the legal
house and TIE Republican senators, he
will be seated in preference to Judge
John Martin, whom the Cleveland men
in Washington well understand has been
bitterly opposed to Cleveland. They
prefer a senator who is a friend of the
president-elect.
All this seems to render Gentleman
Johns tenure not little shakey.
As there can be no doubt
as to what the decision of
the supreme cOnrt must be from the fact
that its judges cannot go behind ma
iority, all that the legal legislature has
to do, when once its proper recognition
is enforced, is for it to cast eighty-three
votes for some middle-of- the-road Demo-
crat, and John Martin, the Father Of
Fusion, will be compelled to return 10
his lucrative law practice in Topeka.
Such a solution would tickle all of the
stalwart Democrats of the state and
please at least one half of the Populist
members of the legislature who were
compelled to vote for Martin.
The chances now are that Joha Martin
will never take a seat in Washington as
United States senator from Kansas.

The trouble with Lewelling and his
crowd is they fail to appreciate the fact
that the constitution and laws of this
state although of Republican origin are
just as binding on Populist officers as
they were on Republican officials, and
that Notwithstanding the political rev.
olution of last fall, in which the Popu-
lists, for the most part, were victorious,
the laws must be obeyed by the chief
executive, by the Lawmakers themselves
and by the people, alike.

who poured out their money like water

foremost in the fight to secure the abso-
lutte demonstration of silver and make
gold the only standard of coin value IL

are the men who are continually prating
about "an honest dollar" If their own
wealth was placed where it belongs the
"honest dollars" in their possession would
be mighty lonesome. 1t is natural
enough that Wall street, should be gov

THE CAMORRA'S KING.
ais Singular Career-HIs Death aud hi
SucceSsOr

The king of the Camorrists died the
other day and many a man in Naples
oreathed more freely at the knowledge
that this extraordinary parsonage is no
more.
The "Camorra" is a vast society which
has its ramifcations among all classes,
md is organized mainly with view to
holding in check justice, the police
even the royal power itself
A Camorrist arrested for a crime, or
accused of some indiscretion, is certain
to find one of his fellows either among
the judges, the lawyers, the sheriffs,
the jailers, the gendarmes or his fellow
prisoners
Each comrade is bound to do nothing
derogatory to any other comrade, and
the consequence is the welding of
mysterious power in Naples and in all
southern Italy.
To say OF man that he is Canon
rista is at once to inspire vague ter
ror concerning all his actions. He is
expected to be capable OF anything,
and to escape UNPUBLISHED, no matter
how great his crimes.
Ciccio Cappuccio was born in the Car
mine quarter of Naples, the scene of
the celebrated revolt of Masaniello and
his heroic fishermen.
His father was a member of the Ca
mora, and was also one of its chiefs.
He had his son initiated at very early
age, and sent him 70 work in the royal
spinning mill of Sanifcio, where the
cloth for army and prison uniforms is
made.
Young Cappuccio soon had to wear
some of his ownoweaving. In 1855 he
had quarrel with the director of the
mill, and disfgured him for life by
Btabbing him in the face.
He was sent to the galleys, but was
soon liberated by mysterious infu-
ences. From that time forward 20
Signorino" as the Neapolitans called
him in their picturesque dialect, was
the recognized king of the Camorra.
He had won his grades in prison,
breaking the arms and legs of all who
ventured to disagree with him. IN 1889.
during and after the Italian wars, the
revolutionary current had passed over
the kingdom Of the Two Sicilies, and
there was conspiracy everywhere.
Cappuccio was in position to render
great service or to be a dangerous enc.
my. He remained Camorrist and Nea-
politan. On several occasions he was
able to be of much use to the govern
ment by his control over the masses.
His power was so great when he chose
to menace any corporation with the in
reference of the Camorra as 10 be prac-
tically undisputed.
One day the police director Of Naples
begged him to bring to an end strike
of ten thousand cab drivers.
CapPuccio accepted the mission;
warned the cabmen to 90 back 70 work
at once. He hired an open cab and
drove through the quarters Of the Car
mine, the Porta Capua and the Vicaria,
and down as far as the Posileppo
Grotto. Next morning all the abs
were rolling about as usual
In his latter days Cappuccio was but
a nominal sovereign, giving directions
20 a successor appointed By himself, and
holding as much power to free criminals
end cheat justice as any of those who
preceded him.
The Camorrs Is still very much alive
in southern Italy.

ished BY death.-N. i. Journal

STARTING A BALkY HORSE.
This Remedy solves an old Problem
~ It Works n second Time.

An old white horse attached TO an
empty express wagon baked Mt the
corner OF Twenty-siNth-st. and Broad
way the other day. and for three-quar-
tiers or an hour successfully resisted
every attempt TO make him move on.
The driver belabored him with a whip.
tugsed at the reins and yelled. but all
10 no purpose. Then a crowd gathered
ana began TO give advice freely. One
man seized :he horse by the ears. an
other grasped the bride and began 10
pull. while two or three others braced
themselves against the animals hind
quarters and tried 10 push him forward.
Inc creature didn't move n foot. One
wise fellow blindfolded the horse with
the drivers coat. after which he de-
clared the animal would move right
along, but the plan was dismal failure.
Another insisted that II plug of to-
bacco was inserted into the creatures
mouth he would be all right, saying
twist between the horses jaws. The
stubborn beast shook the dose from his
mouth and remained immovable.
Meanwhile the crowd continued 10
grow, and every newcomer had a plan
OF his own for solving the problem,
which by this time had efiectuaIly
stopped the movement OF vehicles I'm
broadway for two or three blocks in
either direction. The horse was there
apparently 10 stay. The four or five
poiiSthleI VINO ndd Deen drawn 10 the
scene by the gathering crowd looked
sheepiSh and puzzled. A lady who had
watched the scene from the window OF
"a neighboring cafe finally turned 10 the
gentleman accompanying her and said,
Go and start that horse. These men
never can do ~. They don't understand.
How shall you do Il? Simply take a
halter, walk up TO the horse quietly and
hitch II to his bit ring. Take the other
end In your hand, speak gently TO the
horse, but firmly. and lead him away"
The gentleman went out and borrowed
a hitching strap from a hackman, and
the crowd jerred him as he approached
the baking horse. He attached the
strap To the bit ring as directed, patted
the animal kindly on the neck and took
the end Of the halter I'm his hand. With
a word Of command he started to lead
the way. and the horse followed as
promptly and obediently as II that were
exactly what he had been waiting for
wonderment and admiration. Some Of
the superstitious ones declared that the
animal had been hypnotized.
There is no trick about it," explained
the little woman laughingly 10 her
friends the gentleman rejoined the
party I'm the cafe. with all those half
witted men fooling around him the
horse probably felt that he knew as
much as they did. What ne needed was
neither beating nor yelling, but the
presence of a master To a horse, as TO
other animals. the hitching strap. rope
or chain is the token of his own sub
lection. The sight Of II will subdue him
when all other means have failed.
Horses are a great deal like some men
you may lead them easily. but you can't
drive them. IN. Y Herald.
