MORE REPUBLICAN SCUGLDUGGERY.
Another sickly Attempt to Appeal to the
Prejudices OF the Old Soldiers.

nOpeS VI Au'UE0 parry SUCCESS upon
appeals to the prejudiCes rather than
to the intelligence and the reason Of
the people, never miss an opportu-
nifty to play upon the prejudices Of
the old soldier. The last legislature
passed an act smendstory to article
% of the general statutes Of 1889 and
making certain appropriations for
the soldiers home st Dodge City.
That act contained this section:
Inmates Of this home shall not lose their
legal residence In the county from which
they came, nor acquire any legal residence
in Ford county, Kansas, while they remain
as inmates Of said home.
Although this act was passed by
the legislature in the regular way, 1t
was not law. Some people have been
foolish enough to think that the sem
storS and representatives sent up to
the state capital once in two years to
play lawmakers really make the laws
of this state. This is q mistake. The
courts make our laws, and no act of
the legislature is entitled to be re-
Rarded as law until the courts have
passed upon its "constitutionslity."
The expense of the sessions of the
legislature is a useless waste while
this system prevails and either the
system or the Legislature or both
should be done away with.
In the case Of the law in question,
as in several others Of recent date,
the interests Of the republican party
required that 1t should be declared
unconstitutional, and it has accord
ingly been done. II came about in
this way. The county clerk Of Ford
county, r. s. Crane, was democrat.
AT the late election in that county,
Henry Leidigh, the republican can
didate for the Office, received some
four or five votes more than his COM
petitor and was given the certificate
of election on the face of the returns
Mr.. Crane, the democratic clerk,
claimed that some votes cast by in
mates Of the soldiers home were
illegal, inssmuch as the section Of
the sCt above quoted, provided that
the legal residence Of the inmates of
the home should be in the counties
from which they came, and he there
fore refused to surrender the Office.
TheFeupon Mr.. Leidigh instituted
mGndamus proceedings in the su-
preme court to obtain possession.
The supreme court held that Mr..
Crane could not act as judge in the
case, and that Mr.. Leidlgh was en-
titled to the office by virtue of his
certificate the theory Of the Kansas
court being that q certi6-
cate Of election is prinaG fGcie evi-
dence Of title to Office, no matter
whether the certificate is regular or
Is forged or stolen. In this decision
The question Of the legality Of the
VOtes was not passed upon, neither
was that Of the constitutlonality of
the law in question. The title Of Mr..

At about 0 O'Clock yesterday fore
noon, the long expected steamer Labra-
dor arrived. She was wintry specta-
Gle, and it needed only snow on the
ground to make everything look wintry
along the Grand Trunk. wharves One
side of the great steamer was caked
thickly with tie frozen salt spray, the
coolest looking thing in the world. Halt
way up the smokestack ssand smasts
there was ice, and the upper
decks were covered with two inches OF

waves that swept over her on the trip
here from Halifax.

that it was very rough passage. Gale

The Red. White, and Blue.
ON the Year RoundD

Some Feventy or eighty years before
France was involved in the flames OF the
reyolutlOn-that is. at the epoch OF the
war of the succession, when she was I'm
close alliance with Spain and Bayaria-it
was thought desirable to distinguish the
allied soldiers by a cockade which COM
bined the colors OF the three nations-the
white Of Fmnce. the red OF Spain, and
the blue Of Bavaria.
To none of these incidents, however.
would ii be wise TO attribute the origin
OF the historic tricolOr and cockade
adopted by revolutionary France At the
outset there seemed a likelihood that
green, which Camille des Mesmoulins had
popularized at the Palais Royal, would
have become the national color, but men
remembered in time that il was that of
the livery of the Compe ID Artois. the
most unpopular OF the Bourbon princes
and IL was thereupon discarded.
A proposition was then made 10 assurn .
the colors of the city OF Paris-blue and
red. as Dumas reminds us In his six Ans
Apres" To these was added the white"
OF so many glorious memories because
Il had been selected by the national
guard-always faithful 10 the throne and
It's traditions.
Not until some months after the can.
ture OF the Bastile was the trlcolor de-
finitely adopted, when Bailly and I.asay-
cite presented II 10 Louis XVI in the
great hall OF the Hotel de Vile, and the
convention issued decree, in which IL Was
described as consisting OF three colo,-s-
"disposees en- trois bandes egales. de
manere que lie bleu soft attache a. Ia
garde du pavilion, le blanc au mil!eu. ct
lie rouge fiottant dams les airs"--that is.
in equal vertical sections. with the blue
inward. the red outward. and the white
between.
This is the historic flag which Napoleon's
iegions, In conjunction with their eagles
bore VIGOROUSLY from the Seine 10 the
Elbe. the Tagus the Borodino, and the
Danube; which they planted VIGOROUSLY
on ths walls OF almost every European
capital.
