Judge Cali (being q patriotic judge), re-
strained him from winning the fight.
The house judiciary committee
adopted the following: "Rssolvsd, That
it is the sense Of the house OF represent
atiVes that the secretary has no author
ity under existing laws to issue and sell
bonds Of the United States, except such
as is conferred upon by the aCt approved
January IA, 1875, entitled, "An act "a
provide for the resumption Of specie pay
ments," and that the money derived
from the sale of bonds issued under that
act can not be lawfully applied TO any
purpose except those specified therein. "
In spite Of that, the secretary will issue
the bonds, sell them, and use the money
for what he pleases.
Comptroller EckelS appointed one
Lionel Stsgge receiver Of the Oregon
National bank at Portland. The Port
land politicians who were opposed to the
appointment have brought proof Of the
fact that Stagge, while living under the
name Of Whitehouse, served q term in
the Oregon penitentisry for forgery, and
have asked the president to "vetO" the
appointment. These fellows are not fair
with E,kels. They ought to consider
that q forger convict is just as we'll fitted
to be receiver of q national bank, under
the present system, as anybody else. It
is not expected that anybody but officials
will get anything out Of defunot ma
tlonRl bank, and this man Stagge is just
the person to carry out the intent Of the
national bank law.

Of cattle which Davis was to sell, and
after deduoting such amount as was
needed to carry on the suit and help
the man out Of jail, was to turn over the
remainder to the owner Of the cattle. BY
a manipulation Of the order Davis
went and got some twenty head
Of cattle instead Of nine, and
took them to market. He was
gone several days, and when he returned
the client, who began to realize that he
was being defrauded, sent for the lawyer
"to talk matters over" Davis went to
the jail and asked the deputy sheriff to
let him alone with his client for q while.
The d. 8. did so, looking the door and
going out on the street When he re-
turned he found the prisoner holding
the lawyer by the throat and working
the transformation described above.
The beauty of it was that before he
beat him into unconsciousness he made
Davis write and sign release Of the
ohRttel mortgage hs had secured By
fraud. Such is the life Of q republican
statesman who robbed q republican
client.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

It is still an open question how much
the democrats and republicans of New
Jersey damaged the reputation Of the
state by qusrreling over the organizs-
ton Of the senate.
Gslushs A. Grow, the man who intro
duoed the bill to admit Kansas to state
hood, after remaining in private life for
twenty Ave years, is now candidate FOR
congress in Pennsylvania.
The debate on the Wilson tariff bill ia
to close Thursday in the house, and a
Vole will be taken. The federal elections
bill will occupy the attention Of the SEN
ate until the house sends over q tariff
bill.
The Colorado legislature is still in ses-
sion, doing nothing. The senate, repub-
lican, wants to adjourn without needing
the governors message asking for relief
measures, but the house refuses to con-
cur.
The G.. A. r. men of Ohio propose To
take the Sons of Veterans into their
order 30 that the latter may perpetuste
the order after the old veterans have
passed away. The movement il creating
q great deal Of interest among old sol
diers.
United States Judge Dundy of o Omsha,
has beat the time Of all arbitrary judges.
He has decided that Union Pacific en-
ployes' wages shall be cut down and they
shall be compelled by Jaw to continue
work. The road being in the hands Of
q receiver, the judge rules that the en-
ploYes are wholly subject 10 the juris-
diction Of his court.
Score another point for the one man
power vested in courts. In spite Of Gov
ernor Mitchell and his militia, and the
sheriff at Jacksonville, Corbett and
Mitchell had their fight, because Judge
Call of the circuit court restrained every
body from restraining the pugilists.

Duties Of County Officers,

Occasionally we fnd county officers
who seem to feel that they are under no
obligations to non-residents who pay
taxes to help supply the salaries Of these
officers. j. M. Pest, Of Ottawa county,
enquiries whether the treasurer Of Grant
county has right to collect 9 fec Of
so cents for furnishing a statement Of
taxes due in the county, from q NON.
resident. OF course q county treasurer
has no such right, and the only excuse
he might have for asking fee would b0
in case he was called upon to do some
thing not belonging to the duties Of his
Office. II any county treasurer Is charg
ing extra fees for simply making out
statements of taxes due, and recsiptin8
for tax money, he is doing it in violation
OF law. The treasurer Of Grant county
should be investigated.

Justly Punished,

II the intelligent reader Of daily pa
pers has not n ticed any glaring head
lines over a special dispatch stating how
Hon :" j. w. Davis, of Kiows, Kss,, was
recently punished by one Of his clients
whom he had shsmelessly robbed, it was
probably because the said honorable
was one OF the most active members of
the Douglass house OF representatives.
Yes, indeed. Davis was one OF those
'lsw abiding" sooundrels who was
seated by the Douglass house, though
his opponent, ]. W. Hair, was elected.
And he used TO stand on the floor and
howl about honesty and patriotism
louder than any body except Douglass
himself, while he contended desper-
stely against Legislation that was not ap-
proved by the railroad and loan compR-
nies he was there to represent.
Yes, indeed. And he had q client in
Kiows county whom he defrsuded and
literally robbed, and whom he advised TO
do an act that finally got him (ths eli
ent) in Jail.
Yes, indeed, again. And this client
was so angry st the dishonest treatment
he had received from his lawyer that he
jumped on him and 90 disHgured his
villRinous countsnsuce that he looked
more like an honest man than he had
ever looked before. In fact, his most
intimate friends could not recognize HIM
for o while after the fracas. 1t was
about this way: The client was q
farmer whom Davis had induced TO 60
into litigation Of one kind and another and
to execute q chattel mortgage TO pay the
fees he could not pay in cash. Then the
old man had some trouble with the
owners Of adjoining land, and Davis Rd-
vised him to go after them with gun il
they should molsst him. He did 90, and
was soon afterward arrested for shooting
q man. He was jailed, and Davis prom
issd to get bond for HE release, but
kept putting it off. One day be went to
the client in jail, and on representing
that he must have more money in order
TO carry on the case (as lawyers some
times do), he got him to sign an order
to the clients wife to deliver nine head

The Lyndon Journal makes the
following statement and the Atchison
Champion of January 27 repeats it:
An exchange says the editors of Kansas
are asking for search warrant for rebel
Col. W. A. Harris, who defeated a loyal
colonel Geo. T. Anthony, for congress-
They need not worry about "Where he is
at" II they will look at the record Of his
votes in congress il would be found with
the solid south rebel end Of his party-fOr
repeal of the Sherman bill by which $780,
100000 a year was taken from the our
rency.
Now, that's fine statement for re-
publican editors to make, isn't it, Is
there q putty head in Kansas who
does not know that the record of the
votes in congress is directly the re-
verse of what is here stated? Is
there one so dumb as to believe that
the editor OF the Lyndon Journal
and the editor of the Atchison Cham
pion did not know that the state
ment respecting that vote was false
when they published it, IL they will
consult the record of that vote they
will find these facts: Q) The vote
of southern representatives was al
most solid against the repeal of the
so-called Sherman law instead of for
it, as above stated. ~ The law was
repealed by the vote Of 1O1 republic
ans and 1873 democrats in the house,
and with 80 democrats and only II
republicans against it; and by rs
republicans and % democrats IN the
senate. with only IL republicans and
% democrats against it. The vote
of every Popullst In both houses also
stands recorded against it.
The editors who published the
falsehood concerning this vote could
not be ignorant of these facts, nor
could they reasonably suppose their
readers to be Ignorant of them.
What then can be the purpose of
such nonsense? Do republicans still
hope to keep the people voting the
republican ticket by such gauzy at
tempts at deception? We should add
in this connection that if the
"loyal (?) colonel" who was defeated
had been elected, he is just the man
who would have voted for the repeal
of the Sherman law "by which $50,
100000 a year was taken from the
currency" He is the man who has
declsimed louder than any other
Kansan against the 40 cent dollar"
and is known to be one Of the bitter
est enemies of silver in the state;
and yet we have republican editors
who pretend to be friends Of silver
spologizing for such a man and ly-
ing about the man who voted right
upon this question at every roll call.
Same upon such methods!
