HUDSON AND THE DOODLE
INVESTIGATION.

1t is long lane that has no turn.
Hudson, of the Topeka Capital,
has put his foot in it. An unbroken
career of triumphs is brought to a
sudden close. Hustling Jerry Simp-
son for not wearing socks, besmirch-
ing Mrs. Leases character, paying
off mortgages, writing letters to
Governor Lewelling, and making
charges of corruption, are horses of
different color.
Mr.. Hudson, seeing that it pleased
the Republicans to publish ridicu-
lous lies, went little further. The
time was inopportune. The fight
ing Legislature was in session, and
leaped upon Hudson's charges with
an investigating committee. Now,
Hudson admits that it was not what
he knew, but what Pat Coney told
him, and what E. V. Motif told him !;
but, 10 Pat Coney has flown far
hence, and e. V. Moffit is in the
land of the Daltons.
What fall, my countrymen, for
the man who held up to public gaze
Jerry Simpsons sockless feet and
paid off mortgages by the hundreds
of thousands.
Mr. Hudson has learned lesson,
if he has the capacity to learn, and
that is that writing open letters to
Governor LeweIling that contain
neither truth nor wit is pleasant
pastime compared with charging the
Governor and other state officials
with receiving Doodle. Evidently,
the Inspired writer is right when lie
proelaims that success in sin EN-
boldens even coward. Hudson's
attack on Simpsons feet was not
without misgivings, but proceeding
from Simpsons feet to Mrs. Leases
stature, and from thence to Peffcr's
beard, Hudson became as bold as
lion and now he lieth down shorn
of his courage and his prestige as
the great Populist editor.

SOME Republicans are trying to
take to themselves comfort from the
fact that Jim Legate, quasi Popu-
list, is one of the chief boodlers
now under investigation ; but when
we reflect that for thirty years Leg
ate has trained with the great Doodle
party, and that all his trickery he
learned while training with that
party, of which for all those years
he was one of its chief councillors,
and that the Populists have never
delegated to him the least trust
has never been taken into Populist
counsels, the poor "God-and-moral,
ity" fellows are welcome TO all the
consolation they can suck out of the
conditions. Drowning men catch
at straws

THE RAID ON THE TREASURY.

Six hundred and thirty-eight SER
geants- at-arms were sworn in by the
Douglass house. They served three
days, at So per day. Vouchers
were issued to all who applied, and
it is presumed that all applied, so
the taxpayers foot bill for fillibus-
tering sergeantsat arms Of 50, 742
The Copeland hotel, for feeding the
hungry Douglass Legislators three
days, charged 81 400, ard the bill
was allowed, and paid in gold basis
money. Two sets of regular clerks
and attendants Except Ben Rich
were paid for full time for the period
the two houses were i'm existence.
Contestants were paid mileage and
per diem. The doors broken down
by the Douglass house had to be re-
placed, which added another small
item of cost, and, altogether, max
ing quite "a bill that, in so far as the
people are benefited, the money may
as well have been cremated.

The Douglass Legislators must be
enormous eaters at least, we would
Judge so by the size of the Copeland
hotel bill and if they had brain
capacity equal to their stomachs,
Solomon would have been laid in
the shade, in point of wisdom. Pos
sibly their law-making capacity ran
too low to rise to the brain.

JOE HUDSON is the daddy of a
genuiae boomerang. In his anx-
iety to smirch Governor Lewelling,
he shot wide of the mark, and is

is in the foul pool, and now we need
not be susprised to hear of the
thieves falling out. They are now
looking around for some one to help
them let go, but where the senate
committee is through with them,
they will be the worst be-draggled
political street-walkers in the state.
How nicely the curses are coming
home to roost.

THE NEW INFIDELITY.

Many kinds and types OF skeptl~
cism exist in this age. One kind,
which seemed a year or two ago to
be quite popular, Is that which has
recently been given the black eye
in the case of Dr.. Briggs; and, IN
our opinion, that is the kind which
is the most dangerous, far more
dangerous to the cause of Christ
than the teachings of the blatant in
fidel ct the Ingersol type,
We have heard of young minfs~
tiers OF the gospel, who had achlev>
ed some distinction as men Of mind,
making the fatal blunder of trying
to designate cei tain DOL tons of the
Bible as uninspired. They seem to
forget the fact that if they succeed
in proving 10 the ordinary indiyldu-
al the lack of inspiration OF . por>
ton of the Scripture. they at the
same time raise q doubt as to the
Inspiration OF the whole. That
would seem a natural conclusion,
but some, like DR.. Briggs, don't
seem to care to what sort OF cOnclu.
sion their views arr carried.
We are sincerely glad OF the ver~
dict which has Teen returned by
the Presbyterian Synod in the case
of Dr.. Briggs. His infidelity, that
of rejecting a portion of the Bible
as aninspired, is the most subtle
and deceivins kind among al! the
various sorts of skeptlcism. The
most dangerous lie is the one that
Is skiifuIiy mixed with truth. The
devil has used Col. Ingers0ll and
his wholesale deniaIs of everything,
until that kind OF bombardment has
very nearly ceased to answer; and
now lie is gong to pepper the Cause
OF Ch.2otian.ty with small shot,
grape aud canister, aud toe opening
OF side Issues.
One -Liug, which seems strange
in the matter at first glance, is DR..
Briggs desire to remain in the
church, and persisted Sc vehemently
that it cost tia Presby terians

there is any need to be. We all
have reason to rejoice over this
