Expectation that the sentences of the prisoners
m the Panama trial would be delivered this after
noon brought eager crowds to the Court of Appeals
Duilding before IL o'clock this morning. Ihe
approaches to the court were filled to the last
niche by noon, and five minutes after the doors
were thrown open the room was packed to SUI
location.
Presiding Judge Periyier read the decision aiter
having dismissed the prisoners plea that they
should benefit by the statute of limitations. Al
,boucb the bases of the judgments were given in
sxcentioually minute detail, the audience listened

The worst feature Of the situation is that the

the treatment accorded TO NJ Rouvicr and that

LUKE HERRING.

1t is seldom ones fortune to know
and be a friend of a man so univer-
sally loved and respected in a CON-
munity as was Luke Herring. 1t has
been said that il a man die without
enemies his life has been useless, that
he has been all things to all men and
having remained passive and uncOm-
bative has passed through life with
out being of much service to his fel-
low men. This reasoning does not
hold good in the case of Luke Her.
ring-that is, it is not a fact that his
life was useless. He had convictions
and dared express them, but he was
always reasonable and considerate;
he was aggressive, but not offensive;
he was resOlute, but not distasteful;
always firm, but kind as a child.
And he may have had enemies-it is
hard to I'll the position and do the
work for a cummunity he is credited
with, without making enemies, but his
fairness, honesty and sincerity was
never doubted. II he had enemies Of
any kind his continued sickness, brave
fight for his life, his patience and for
titude turned them into sympathetic
friends. But this could not have
been, had not these same acquaint-
ances known that Luke Herring was
a square and honest man. His noble
qualities so far Oyer-balanced his
faults-if he had any whatever-that
even an enemy could not help hOnOring
him in the end. So it is said that
Luke Herring had not an enemy in
the world. And it was true. Even
those who may have been jealous Of
his success in business and his pOpu-
larity as citizen, and those who may
have been at enmity with him on po-
litical lines, were all ready to drop a
tear and speak the praise of a pro-
gressive and valuable citizen, faith
full husband, a loving father and a
noble brother.
Not yet thirty years of age he had
done more for the community, made
more friends, established better rep
utation for usefulness and accomplish
ed more in numerous ways than many
public men who have lived for three
score and ten.
Peace to the ashes Of Luke Her

Kansas City Star: A new and ex-

is its Afro-American column. 1t is
the only "white" paper ia America
that maintains such department.
We found the above recently in the
editorial columns of the Topeka Cap
ital of July IL, 1892. 1t will be OBJ
served that this was just about the
opening Of the campaign. All who
are acquainted with the facts know
that this Afro-American column was
alled every day through the entire
campaign with complimentary state
ments about colored people In all
parts Of the state, and that very soon
after the election it was dropped out.
How long will our colored citizens be
hoodwinked by such old party meth.

The Monitor thinks major Hudson
has done the people of Kansas real
service in bringing about the exposure
of this sink of iniQuity," referring to
the Doodle investigation. The in
vestigatiOn failed to bring out any ev-
idence to implicate the state officers
as charged by the Capital but it did
bring out the fact that Hudson and
his friends tried awful hard to secure
the United States Senator and State
Printer by the free use Of money. If
the Republicans can get any satisfac-
tion out of the affair they are welcome
to it. They have been free with their
charges but have utterly failed to
substantiate them.
