electors must vote for the bonds.

ZEB B. VANCE.

In the death of Governor Vance the
United States Senate loses one of its
most picturesque, interesting and nota-
bic characters. He was in congress be.
fore the war, was governor of his state
during the rebellion, disliked Jefferson
Davis, and was one of the most happily
constituted men mentally aud physic-
ally, possible. Zeb. Yves native son of
old Buncom5e county, and a typical
representative of the Old North state,
loved and honored from one end of it to
the other. He was probably one of the
most companionable and entertaining
men that ever entered public life. The
acerbity which marked his protests
against the usurpations of jeff Davis
nor the violence of his public debates in
the senate ever showed themselves in
his interchange of personal and social
amenities. He was a royal, loyal all
round big man, whose place will not
soon be filled.

ESKIMO WEAPONS,
From tho Portland oregonian.

From tho Portland oreeonian.
To the interesting collection of curios
gathered by Captains Edwards and
McDermott, United States inspectors
of hulls and boilers, during the last
few years, have lately been added a
number OF weapons used by the Eski-
mos in the hunt and chase, and other
articles and relics, presented by vari-
Gus persons in the northwest and Brit
ish Columbia.
The Eskimos' weapons were present
ed to the inspectors by the widow OF
the late Capt. John NJ. Olsen, of As
toria, master of the sealer Polar Bear,
in accordance with a request which he
expressed before his death The most
interesting Of these curios is spear
with a poisoned arrow head, which is
the most effective of all the weapons
ased by the inhabitants Of the land Of
the midnight sun" The spear entire
is about five feet long. 1t is made Of
wood. mounted with bone. In which
are finely carved all the fantastic de-
signs characteristic of the Eskimos in
this line of work. The arrow Is made
in three pieces. two parts wood, and
the third. which is the head. of bone

PERTINENT AND IMPERTINENy,

The people of the country at large de-
sire to know what the legal authorities
of Chicago propose to do with Prender-
CAST, who SO foully murdered their may
or, and who was afterwards found
guilty Of the crime and sentenced to be
hung? Have the Judiciary of that city
degenerated into mere jugglers that even
common cranks can with impunity arm
themselves at leisure and at their own
convenience walk into the homes of citi.
zens and shoot them to death? Does the
plea Of broken political promise Justify
homicide, or is the fact that the criminal
who faces the gallows becomes wild and
unmanageable reasonable excuse for
setting aside the verdict? Or, all these
propositions aside, is it possible for at
torneys to file motions sufficient and for
judges to deliver decisions in such con-
fiicting numbers as to permit acknowl-
edged murderers to go unwhipped of the
penalty prescribed by law? Has it
about come to that place when the peo-
pie will be compelled to abolish judges,
relegate lawyers, and execute their own
judgments by the hands OF a mob or
through vigilance committee? With
such instances and object lessons as are
furnished by cases analogous to that of
Prendergast, is equity or justice possible
where dilatory motions of attorneys and
frivolous obstructing decisions of judges
are the rule rather than tho exception?
As the laws of this country are. in the
main, drawn and enacted by lawyers. af-
forwards plead and decided by them.
and as the press, in the main. reflects the
convictions and desires of the people, is
there conflict, imminent, between the
courts and the newspapers of American

MORRILL'S SHOWING.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Out of seventy delegates to the Repub-
lican State Convention elected iu seven
Kansas counties on Saturday Major
Morrill, IS said to have fifty. That puts
him we'll in the lead of all of his compe-
titors, and this ratio in his ia
'vor is likely to be maintained
throughout the state. Without dis
arrangement to any of the other candi-
dates for the office, the opinion prevails
in Kansas that Major Morrill,, by reason
of his fine business qualities and his
honorable record in congress, is fit
man to make the race for governor, and
that he would command as strong sup
port as any man who can be named for
that place.
