This use of ar and "my" Is more
offensive than the personal pronoun
made by the kings and emperors of
Europe. 1t is not merely offensive to
the sense of propriety OF every citizen
of self.governed country, but it is
undoubtedly unconstitutional, and the
acts of Mr.. Blount under such a CON-
mission from the President viii be
illegal and void.
While at first glance it may seem to
be a point scarcely worth contending
for, yet it is certain that the plain at
tempt Of the President to override the
authority and powers Of congress and
violate the constitution constitutes a
very grave and important question,
which ought to be at once taken up and
submitted to the supreme court for elu-
cidation. No question of more impor-
tance will arise during this administra-
ton.
The course Of the president in this
matter opens the way to the seizure of
all the functions Of government. II the
President has right to supersede the
powers and privileges of a minister to a
foreign country, who is appointed in
cooperation with the senate and is in
no sense the personal representative of
the President, and put an agent who
has no warrant of authority except the
Presidents credentials over him, what
is TO hinder his taking into his own
hands the control of all the govern
mental functions now regulated by
congress. or by the President and con-
gress acting in conjunction?
This question does not have a parti-
san favor. II may not have occurred

The Treachery Of Col. Hughes.

The tTeacherY of Col. Hughes, com.
mander of the troops called out by the
governor of Kansas, was explained by
q telegram from Nashville, Tenn. Ac-
cording to his statement. Col. Hughes
is son of Judge A. M Hughes of
that state. Colonel Hughes" it con-
tinues, went to Kansas and entered
The service of the A. T. & S. F. railroad
when only boy. When he was elected
colonel Of the Third Kansas regiment
lie was the Youngest officer in the ser
vice.
In his own defense Hughes says he
would as soon have obeyed an order to
burn down the Santa Fe Offices as to
have cleared the hall of the house of
represen tatives of the men who had
broken the doors with sledge hammers
1t is true that no one in the army. in
the militia, or anywhere else. is bound
to obey an uncOnstltutiOnai and wrong
ful order, but there is no person to
believe that if this same Hughes had
been ordered to fire into crowd of
laborers he would have stopped to rea-
son QUO constitutional questions. The
fact of his employment by the Santa
Fe railroad makes it unnecessary to
SEEK further for evidence on which to
judge his conduct. If it Was as a de-
pendent of the railroad that he entered
the militia it was no doubt for the same
reason that he was promoted so rapidly
in spite of his youth. When the time
came for him to choose bet ween loyalty
to the state and loyalty to the railraod
he went with the bread and butter and
betrayed the trust he held under the

The Row in Kansas.

Tie bloodless but highly exciting
battle between the republican and
popuiist houses of Kansas forms a
spectacle for men to laugh at, with
laughter not uDmixed with wonder.
Nothing exactly like it has ever been
seen outside of Bedlam; it was unique
it was surprisingl
The account of it in our dispatches
yesterday reads like chapter from the
regulation yellow-back novel-wlth this
difference: The latter is never quite as
lurid or unreasonable as the show pre-
sented in the Kansas capitol.
Think of rival houses in legislature
assembly battering down the capitol
! doors with sledge hammers, and the
speaker, in his wrath, using sledg-
hammer as gavel; and legislators
charging Legislators with pistols and
Winchesters; and OF the governor
calling out the state militia to quell the
| riot! It was, indeed, one of the liveliest
spectacles in the legislative history or
states.
Poor. bleeding Kansas! She is in a
sad plight. certainly, with republicans
and populists fortified in her capitol and
bowling mot for the people, but for
arms, ammunition and provisions for a
siegel
It's great country-that same Kan
sas, and it is going to make a record be-
fore it gets through. We shall soon ex-
pect to hear that the warning factions
have torn down the capitol, tarred and
feathered the governor and set the
rivers of the state on fire.
In the meantime we are exceedingly
anxious for the fate of Sister Lease; for
the excitement must certainly have
had very jarring effect upon her
nerves. We sincerely hope no harm
has befallen her, and await further de-
velopments from the war department
with feverish interest. Con-
stitution.

of the state and refused admittance to
members of the militia. They did this
in the name of loyalty, and to suppress
anarchy. Their acts were illegal and
revolutionary and wholly partizan. The
standard of loyalty erected by republi-
cans has always been fealty to the re-
publican party. Time was when the
president was the government. There
was change of presidents, then the
nation became centered in congress. In
this state the governor, state officers
and legislature is anti-republlcan there
fore the government has reverted to
the people and the republican party is
the people. This makes the plain
violation of law, revolution and an-
archy respectable. What crimes are
committed under the name of patriot
ism Winfield Tribune.

The Stockton Record thinks the fol-

''It took Judge Martin only half an
hour to completely capture Mrs. Lease.
He made no overtures toward her prior
to the legislative election, but while the
old lady was bemoaning the sad fate of
the peoples party and listening to its
death knell, the modern Richad LII
met the funeral cortege, as it were, and
wooed and won the Chi eff mourner right
in the presence of the corpse. The safne
night she sat on platform at Martin

And that was the last seen of repub-
lican triumph in Kansas at a rresi-
dental election. In 1892 the republi-
can party Of Kansas met its Waterloo.
The people rose up and united against
it under the name of ''popuIists,'' car
ried the state by plurality of 9,977
over Harrison, and elected an anti-re-
publican legislature which sends a DEM
ocrat to the United States senate in
place of republican.
Thus defeated, demoralized, and
made mad, the rump of repubIicanism
left in Kansas is now making an ex-
piring kick of violence and an attempt
at revolution in the legislature.
Republicanism in Kansas had a
violent birth, and it looks very much
as if it is about to have kindred
death,

An Impressive Funeral.

The funeral OF Thomas E. Mallory.
at Hoisington last Thursday, at D. NJ,
was very impressive one. Members
of Rathbone Lodge Z. of P, of Hois-
ington, and Woodland Lodge of Great
Bend, formed an escort and carried the
remains from the house to the church,
where Rev. Dadisman delivered very
eloquent and appropriate funeral SER
mon. The Knights then formed in
double file in front of the hearse, and
marched to the cemetery, where the
very beautiful ceremony of the order
was given as the last brotherly attention
to the departed one.
The Hoisington Dlstatch paws the
following tribute to the memory of de-
ceased:
Thomas E. Mallory was born in
Monroe county, Missouri, January 25.
1855 He was married to Miss Eliza
beth Dickerson October 15, 1873. In
1883 he and his family moved to
Chatauqua county, Kansas, where they
resided some time before coming to
Barton county. For four years the
family have lived in Hoisington, Tom
being engaged in the livery business
here. The deceased leaves wife and
two daughters.
"Tom, as we all called him, was a
stout, hearty man, in appearance much
younger than his actual age. He was a
good, kind hearted man. ever ready to
do anyone a favor, His friends were
to be found all over the county, all of
whom mourn his early departure and
will miss him now that he is gene. Tom
was member of the Knights of
Pythias, Fraternal Mystic Circle and
Golden Eagle societies. the former, as
sisted by the lodge at Great Bend, hav-
Ing charge of his burial. His life was
insured for two thousand dollars in the
Mystic Circle.'
