of the course that might be pursued
by the Standard during the campaign
was discussed. Faurot was peculiar
ly anxious to have the Republican
ticket win. Stewart told him that if
the Standard should pursue the policy
of advising Democrats to support
the Democratic nominees only and
thus insure the election of the Repub-
lican ticket that Fourot ought to
vote with him to give the county
printing to the Standard. The near
est Faurot came to making any prom
Use was the statement that if the
Democrats should have the Standard
pursue that cOuuse they would not re-
greet it. The substance Of this inter-
view was communicated by Stewart
to Geo. 7. Pitts, chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,
and by Pitts to Gilmore.
The Standard did advocate the
policy of Democrats voting for the
Democratic nominee and stopping
there. This caused quite good deal
of bitterness between the Democrats
aud POpuIists and doubtless contrib
uted largely to the success Of the Re-
publican ticket. When the county
printing came to be let in January,
1894, Campbell & Hood were appli-
cants but Mrs. Herring got the con-
tract by the votes of Stewart and
Faurot. The MonitOr-Press immedi-
ately made big "roar" over the mat
ter claiming that Faurot had been
bribed etc.
In July, 1894, Campbell & Hood
bought the Standard andrtOOk an as
SignmeUt of the county printing con-
tract. The county commissioners
met at once, made an order cancelling
the Herring contract and relet the
county printing TO the Caldwell News
for the remainder Of the year. But
Campbell & Hood went on publishing
all county printing, for which they
presented their bill to the county COM
missiOLers. 1t was not allowed and
this suit was commenced.
While there were many other
Questions involved in the case, yet
the verdict of the jury was based up
on one point. Judge Burnett in
Structed the jury that if they found
| from the evidence that the contract
was awarded to Mrs. Herring in pur.
suance of a political deal or under,
standing by virtue of which the Stan
dard was to pursue any particular
course politically, then the whole
contract was void and neither she
nor CAMPBELL & Hood could recover fol
any services rendered under it. The
| jury took this view Of the evidence
and after being out twelve hours
brought in the verdict for the county
Campbell & Hoods motion for new
trial was Oyerruled yesterday. The
amount involved in the suit was about
$1,000 and interest.

statement of all the facts pertinent tt
the issue upon which the case was de-
cided. Comments we will leave tC

Dick Chase Must DO.

Wednesday the supreme court rem
dered unanimous decision 10 the case
of Lynch VS., Chase, involving the
wardenship Of the state penitentiary.
Warden Chase was appointed two
years ago by Governor Lewelling, and
his regular term would be for four
years. lie was, however, subjected TO
an investigation by legislative COM
mittee and was removed by Governor
Morrill,, who appointed ]. Bruce Lynch
as his successor.
Chase refused to turn the Office over
to his successor and brought suit in
the supreme court to retain posses
sion of the Office.
The opinion of the supreme court is
unanimous against Chase.
The opinion itself was written by
Associate Justice Johnston, and is
concurred in by Chief Justice Martin
and Associate Justice Allen.
The syllabi Of the case are as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Office Of warden OF the state
penitentiary is created for the public
convenience, and the incumbent of the
Office is the mere agent of the public,
who, by virtue Of his appointment,
acquires the right to exercise the func-
tions Of the Office and receive the pres
cribed compensation, until the end of
his term, or until such time as there
may be a resignation or forfeiture of
and removal from the office in the
manner provided by law, but he has
no property or vested right in such
office.
ut is within the power Of the legis-
lature to provide a summary method
Of removing incompetent and unfaith-
full officers, and to that end it may
confer authority upon the executive
and administrative officers.
"While the proceeding to remove
from office for cause involves the ex.
animation Of facts and exercise Of
judgment and discretion by the exec.
utive officer, Lis action is not judicial
in the sense that it belongs exclusive
lY to the courts.
"a committee appointed under the
provisions of the law has authority tC
Investigate charges duly preferred
against the warden Of the peniten
tiary when the legislature is not il
session, and where upon sufficient no
tice a hearing is had and a report
made finding that the charges arr
sustained and cause for removal eX
lists, the governor under the law o
1891 is authorized to act upon tn,
findings and report and remove TIT
warden from his Office.
I'm summary proceedings for tn,

FRUIT AND 'HoRTIcULTURE.


Taking the state as whole its
fruit and garden prospects are most
flattering for bOuntiful yields, and it
is doubtful if our trees and vines
were ever before so laden. Conditions
average Is for apples, peaches, grapes
and cherries, and in many counties
apples and peaches rate at 100 and
above.
Surviving the debility and depres-
sion common in late years to all sister
states and all countries Kansas now
seems agriculturally and financially
conyalescent, and in her old-time
form is again headed for prosperity
and the stars.

lieved this, not because of the lack
of education and ownership of pro-
perty on the part of the negro. but
simply because Of his racial differ
encc. Whatever the negro may
attain in education and property
ownership, it would be detrimental to
our government and civilization to al.
low the negro to participate in The
government.
MIR. McMahan then defined the pur-
poses OF the existence of the human
race as he saw them, and the process
of the Survival Of the fittest =" He
declared self preservation to be the
first law Of nature. and as applied to
the community, patriotism was an
other good form Of self preservation,
and the highest form of patriotism
was the love for race. Such patrio-
tism was the highest duty As he
conceived it, the disfranchisement of
the negro was duty of the white
man-a duty due to the generations
to follow. The Anglo-Saxon race,
above all races, had shown itself
capable Of graphing with the prob
lens Of government The African,
through the countless centuries Of ab
solute self control in Africa, had
shown himself peculiarly incapable Of
forming ahy government at all. To
give him equal privileges with the
white race would be as conducive to
the progress of civilization. as to ex-

China's viceroy Took Literally an invita-

Speaking of the first meeting of Ii
Hung Chang and John w. Foster, on
which occasion the Chinese viceroy en-
tertained O woman at dinner for the
first time in the person Of Mrs. Foster,
the Washington Capital vouches for the
following story, which is one Of the
best illustrations'of true oriental cour-
tesy, combined with the peculiar serious
ness and matter of factness of the Chi
nese mind, ever related:
When she was introduced to the vice.
roy, Mrs. Foster wondered how she was
to be taken into the banquet room.
Some time before, it seems, Ii Hung
Chang had been guest of honor at din
ner given by the Russian ambassador,
and being asked to take the ambassador
wife to the dining room, proceeded to
comply with literalness which aston
ished all the guests. The viceroy is a
giant in stature, and the ambassadors
wife being small woman, he had no
difficulty in picking her up bodily and
carrying her to the table.
Mrs Foster did not yearn for such
honor and called upon her husband g
diplomacy to arrange that she should be
escorted in less vigorous manner. MIR.
Fosters tact was equal to the occasion,
and when the doors were thrown open
Ii Hung Chang led the way, and Mrs.
Foster followed him.

THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG
Two Famous Poets. oliver Wendell Holmes
ard W;Iiism Cullen Bryant.

Two Famous Poets. Oliver Wendell Holmes
ard W;Iiism Cullen Bryant.
Oliver Wendell Holmes received the
degree of doctor of medicine in 1856,
being then ~ years old, and IN that
year he also published his first volume
of poems. Nothing of DIR. Holmes has
been more popular than 1.-The Last
Leaf, - contained III this early collec-
ton, and none has more richly deserved
to please by its rhythmic beauty and "
its exquisite blending of humor and
pathos so sympathetically intertwined
that we feel the lonely sadness Of the
old man even while we are smiling at
the quaintness so feelingly portrayed.
DIR. Holmes was like Bryant, who
composed 'Thanatopsis" and the
Lines to a Waterfowl long before he
was 90, in that he early attained full
development as a poet. Although each
of them wrote many verses in later life,
nothing of theirs excelled these poems
of their youth. In their maturity they
did not lose power, but neither did they
deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopsis"
ON the one side and "The Last Leaf on
the other are as strong and characters
tic as anything either poet was ever to
write throughout a long life What Bry-
ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his
first volume of poems, each was to the
end of his career.
To neither Of them was literature a
livelihood Bryant was first lawyer
and then a journalist. Holmes was
first practicing physician and then
teacher of medicine. He won three
prizes for dissertations upon medical
themes, and these essays We're published
together in 1888. In 1889 he was APP
pointed professor of anatomy and phys
iology at Dartmouth. and the next year
he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson.
Shortly afterward he resigned the posi-
ton at Dartmouth and resumed practice
in Boston. He worked hard i'll his pro-
fession and contributed freely to its lit
erature, and in 1917 he went back to
Harvard, having been appointed pr
fessor of anatomy and physiology, a
position which he was to hold with
great distinction for 30 years. st
