AN ARNAAH ta1 AAkSAANt1 AtaNA efN-
 minors of Governor Mckinley would pay a portion of his obligations at
 least, whether he gives his consent
 or not. A recent telegram from
 Chicago says. In view of the fact
 that II. II. Kohlsatt. one of the pro- prietors of the Inter Ocean. is one
 of the trustees to whom Gov. Me
 Kinley turned over his property. an
 editorial in that paper this morning
 is significant. It says the movement
 to raise fund to pay McKinley's
 debts seems irrepressible, but the
 trustees cannot do as requested by
 many, to open a subscription for
 this purpose, because the Governor
 refuses to allow it, and there it ends,
 but it would be perfectly right for
 his friends to go ahead and send
 subscriptions to the trustees with
 the assurance that they will be
 faithfully applied to the object in-
 tended"
 MT. Edwards has introduced a
 bill in the council which seems to
 be a good measure. It is aR amcnd-
 ment to section 25s, title l5, chap
 ter 2S, revised statutes. and reads
 as follows: The plaintiff in any
 civil suit may at any time before
 final judgment, upon motion of de-
 fendant, be ruled to give security
 for costs, aud il such rule be entered
 against the plaintiff, and lie fails to
 comply herewith within in ten days
 thereafter, the suit shall be dismiss
 ed. Where the plaintiff is unablet to
 give security costs, his case shall not
 be dismissed, provided. that within
 two days after the motion for the
 rule has boon made, he makes strict
 proof of his inability to give such
 security. Such proofs may be made
 by atidayits or by examination of
 witnesses Tn open court, wherein the action IS bonding. and may be
 contested by any party to the suit.
 The JoURNAl-MIxER is accused of
 malice aforethonght and of malici- ous intent in putting a malicious construction upon an item in its contemporary in reference to the prison investigating committee of the legislature We plead mot guilty to the charge The item seemed to be capable of only one construction, aud that was the one placed on 1t by this paper. The ex- plantation, that it had reference only to the recommendation of the gov. ernor for the removafof the prison 1 is, Of course, accepted, but the com. i mittee appointed by the legislature, 1 and whose report was alleged to be 1 awaited with interest, has nothing i to do with the question of removal | It was appointed to investigate the management of the institution sole ly, Tor the purpose of finding any | Irregularities, recklessness in ex- peuditure or anything else from which political capital can Dc made, hence we could not reasonably con strue the item other than was done. There has been no committee ap- pointed yet to report on the subject of removal.
 The editor of our contemporary. who is himself an applicant for the position of register of the land office, says that he has discovered that there are nineteen other appli- cants for the place. which leads him lo remark, Gee whiz While the present occupant of that position continues to draw the small emolu- nents of the office, he can look on ,emplacently at the struggle be ween these twenty aspirants for the and when the time comes Or him to surrender the place to he man of Grover Cleveland's ,hoice, the regret which he will ex- ,erieace will be as nothing, when to the ehagrin and disap ointment that the nineteen unsuc- { .essful candidates will experience. }eing opposed to Grover Cleveland ' 'olitically, the present register n aturally expects to be removed, O ooner or later, probably sooner N ather than later, and when the 2, ime does como, he will surrender i, he position eheerfully and grace a llly, but it will be difficult for each VI nd every one of the nineteen appli- . ants, who are in political harmony V, ith MT.
