position came. from a large class of
citizens who we're not affiliated with
Republicans, and who believed that
his defeat would insure purer NUM-
cipal government. In this they were
not mistaken, but simply out-voted at
the polls.
Bishop Kip, of the Episcopal church,
died in San Francisco last night. lie
was born in 1911, and has been iden-
titled with Episcopacy on the coast
since 1853. As writer and Christian
gentleman his loss is lrreparable, and
his death will be regretted all over the
country.
The apotheosis of Richardson, the
"hero of Rice hill," was very brief.
Hero-worship may be mania with
the American people; but when they
find their idols composed of spurious
materials the work of the iconoclasts
begin, and they are shattered into
shapeless ruins.
The important question beforA the
q. s. senate is that of seating the gov
ernors' appointees, and this will fur
nlsh precedent for future action. Ii
senators were elected by the popular
vote, this problem would not require
any solution by congress, and it is
hoped that .hls plan will be eventually
adopted.
In a few days the faces of many
will he turned towards Chicago, and
the worlds fair will receive visitors
from all portions of the globe. This
exposition will bring money from
Europe, and should scatter it to diff
ferent portions of the United States.
Of course, the queen city of the lakes
will receive the princely share.
Richardson, the man who has been
arrested for prying up the rail and
then attempting to make hero of
himself by warning an approaching
train, escaped from the Astoria Jail
about two months ago where he was
held to the grand jury for trying to
burn the Liverpool house. Sach
heroes are made of spurious material.

who went there because of discrepan-

have friend in the higher branch of
congress, and should be entitled to
some consideration for all their suffer-

The returns from Kansas show a
sweeping Republican victory, and The
short reign of the Popullsts may be
considered at an end. That party at
tempted to carry matters with high
hand during the past winter; but the
people have tired of arbitrary rule,
and have now returned to their first
love. Kansas has too eventful his
tory to suffer misrule for any length of
time.
The argument in the Behring sea
was opened yesterday in
Paris, and, with the able counse! pre-
senting the American side of the ques
ton, the country may rest satisfied
that its interests will be carefully
watched. Once settled, this subject
will create no future trouble. and will
be placed beside that of the Oregon
boundary dispute-never TO be re-
opened by either the United States or
Great Britain.
The decisions of the courts in refer
ence to the Ann Arbor strike make it
plain that no organization, during a
boycott, can discriminate against
the freight of any particular
company while freig ghts on
other lines are permitted to be sent to
their destination. This ruling is
according to the terms of the Inter
state Commerce act, and will make
much less effective. The
commerce of this country demands
some protection, and while employees
cannot be forced to work for any COM
oany, the limits to which they may in
ure its business are somewhat pres
cribed.
