CAUSED A STIR IN ARMY CIRCLES
General Merritt DissoIves Eirhalsn Court
martial Fer irregularities.


LEAvENWORTH, Oct. 9.-The court
martial of Captain J. L. Kirkman, that
has been in progress at Fort Leaven-
worth for the last two weeks and has
caused a big stir in army circles, has
been given another sensational turn.
General Merritt telegraphed here dissOlv-
ing the court for permitting Irregular
ties during the trial and ordered all the
officers on the court to their respective
stations. The irregularities cOnsistedin
the court permitting the wife, son and
daughter Of Captain Kirkman to be
present and hear all the testimony dur
ing the trial. At the same time the
court excluded newspaper reporters
and Captain Barrett, who preferred the
charges against Captain Kirkman. By
allowing the Kirlmans in nearly all the
testimony leaked out in one way OF an
other and caused much feeling among
the families interested
Captain KirAman was charged with
ungentleman like conduct, alleged to
have been committed at the home of
Captain Barrett, who elected Captain
Kirkman from the house and gave him
a beating. Owing to the sensational
charges and the families involved Gen
eral Merritt ordered the trial to be con.
Quoted secretly. For violating this the
court aas been dissolved. A court with
new officials has been ordered and the
trial is to commence again on Thursday
morning at Fort Riley.

Mrs. Graham Allows Mrs. Clint Nickel
That Amount In Damages.

Mrs. Graham Allows Mrs. Clint Nickells
That Amount In Damages.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. ga special to a
local paper from Fargo, N. D., says:
The suit of Mrs. Clint Nickells of Kan
sas City against Mrs. Maud Graham for
$50, 1000 for alternating the affections Of
her husband was concluded in the Unit
ed States district court in this city.
There was a big array Of legal talent on
both sides. An amicable agreement was
arranged by which Mrs. NicheIls got
$4,000 cash and real estate valued at
$4,000 in Minneapolis. The action in
court viii be withdrawn. Mrs. Graham
was the daughter of the late A. L.
Mason, a capitalist Of Kansas City. She
married J. E. Graham, a Kansas City
druggist. Clint Nickells had been her
sweetheart before marriage and after
wards Nickells deserted his wife and
Mrs. Graham her husband and ran
away together to North Dakota, where
divorces were secured by each and they
were married. The supreme court Of
North Dakota subsequently decided that
Nickells secured his divorce by fraud.
This decision annulled the marriage Of
Nickells and Mrs. Graham and left her
in the position Of living in adultery with
another woman's husband. Mrs. Ora
ham is wealthy. She recently came
into possession of one-eight of her
fathers estate Of 81 100000.

"Oive the People a Chance"

Space Is given elseN here on this page
20 avn interesting communication sug-
ges.ing that the Republicans of Penn
sylvania. at their nearest coming
primaries. directly express their first
and second choice for president,
for the guidance of the Pannsylva-
mia delega uion to the next national
line with the. new dispensation Of
political doctrine in this state, which
teaches the supremacy Of the masses
over the bosses, and the execution of it
would do no harm and might in some
instances do good.
The only objection now visible con-
sists of the probability of numerous
changes in popular sentiment with
reference to presidential candidates be-
tween this time and the day of the con-
vention. The Indication of preferences
at lchis moment, or. in fact. at any
feasible time prior to the convention,
would have to be taken not necessarily
as mandatory but rather as simply a
guide to the delegates own determina-
tion of his proper course in convention.
With three or four able candidates
conspicuous in the field. 1t would be
anything but an easy matter for the
party at large to choose between them
1t would be a better plan all around to
select as delegates men whose judg-
ment is seasoned. whose probity is un-
questioned, and who would cast their
votes conscient!Ously and for the best
interests of the party and of the coun-
try, no ma tier what the wire-pulling.
So far as Senator Quay is concerned,
there will doubtless be no disposition
on the part OF any delegate from Penn
sylvania to ignore his experienced judg-
ment, nor will any conscientious dele
gate become as putty in the senator's
lands. The interests of the whole coun-
try will depend upon the deliberations
OF the next lRopublldln national con-
yention; and these are paramount to
purely personal or selfish interests.
The best advice to be given to the party
In these premises is to choose thorough
ly trustworthy delegates. If the people
shall do that, they will not have reason
10 lament as to the platform or the
nominee.

An Undeserved Accusation.

1t Is not good prelude to the fall
campaign that certain Republican fac
tlons in Allegheny county are inviting
when they begin thus early to charge
their factional enemies with contem-
plated treachery to the state ticket.
We cannot perceive how any man
claiming to be a Republican can con-
sIstently withhold his support from
that splendid ticket or fail to find in
the excellent state platform inspira-
tion to active and earnest battle. Both
were selected by unanimous vote of
the state convention: and both deserve
the complete and cordial appreciation
OF the party rank and file, regardless
Of past differences.
The contest between Senator Quay
ana Colonel Gilkeson was one mainly
for the mastery of the party organiza.
tion, and was decided in favor Of the
former by q majority large enough to
remove all uncertainty as to the con-
vention's wishes. Even II Mr.. Quay

Gently opposed him, ne could not safe

November election, the result of which
will to a large extent reflect his fidelity
to the ticket. Hence his bitterest en-
emy Is Justified in deferring for at
least two months the balancing of fac
tional accounts contracted during the
recent state conflict.

II viii Take Work.

N Is a not unimteresting circumstances
with reference to the platform of re-
forms lately adopted at Harrisburg
that while there is some question or
the sincerity OF Its author In proposing
such an advanced and summary pro-
yramme. there is no criticism of the
platform itself. When we remember
the copious abuse. ridlcule and derision
which greeted less sweeping declara-
tions by the late George William Curtis
ten or fifteen years ago. We marvel not
SO much at the luckier fate of Senator
QUAY as at the completeness of the
puhlic's intervening enlightenment.
But while the public mind has Of late
wears rapidly accustomed itself to the
beauties Of civil service reform as a
theory, IT must not be forgotten that
much work will yet be required to
transform that alluring theory into
accomplished fact. The disposition to
hold to one thing in the imagination
and to quite another ching in every
day life Is fully as strong today as at
any preceding time. AS ID. McG
Means says, in the September Forum,
1--WE know how ITO deal with crime on
scientific principles, and II we should
apply our knowledge THE criminal
classes would in a short time be nearly
extirpated. We know how TO insure
good sanitary conditions, and If we
should use what we know, the terrible
overcrowding of the poor would be ar
rested and only habitations fit for hu-
man use would be built We are not
ignorant of what Is beautiful In archi-
lecture, and might make our public
buildings the delight Of our eyes. The
children of the common people might
receive such education az would I'LL
their lives with sweetness and light
In thousand ways we might engage
in the service of the community the
limitless powers of nature and the in
eXhaustible devotion of man. These
ideals can be realized. But they can
never be realized If the government of
ouT cltleS - " IcHidiii III 'siiS iutuiS III
such hands as have controlled 1t in che
past"
In our own state the practical steps
necessary to the realization Of moderate
expectations Of improvement in the di-
reotion Indicated in the Republican
state platform are. first, the nomination
and election of truly representative
Legislative candida tes, and secondly. the
taking by each citizen of an active and
Intelligent interest in these legislators
doings at Harrisburg. under circum-
stances which will let the lawmakers
know that they are being watched. 1t
will be necessary. in many instances,
for present representatives to be
changed, in favor Of men Of assured
honesty and mental liberality. To
make these changes will be probably
to incur animosities and to sacrifice.
for a time, that placid tenor of routine
indifference behind which the better
element almost invariably conceals its
talent for performing the duties Of
citizenship. But III 1t is worth while to
talk about better government, 1t ought
to be worth while to do some little real
work for 1t: and unless real-work is
done, better government need not be
expected to materialize.

An Evil Too Long Neglected.

Altoona Tribune: AT present Pennsyl-
vania has not taken u single step in the
direction OF civil service reform. One re-
suit Of this slowness is that after the elec-
ton of Governor Hastings he was beset
and besieged by applicants for position to
such an extent that he was fairly over
whelmed. Later on the legislature bur-
new and wholly unnecessary offices, while
additional room was made In offices al
ready existing for new clerks. This would
never have happened had the state been
blessed with civil service regulations. A
law of this sort would have saved the peO-
pie considerable money and would have
relieved public officials from the pressure
Of office-seekers, giving them all the more
time to attend to their duties as servants
of the taxpayers. 1t would seem as
though every man in public life should he
glad to have a custom in vogue that would
render useless all Importantly for fayors
In the way Of places under government"

Let the People RuIe.

The question Of the relative advan-
tages Of an appointive over an elective
judiciary has again been raised: and
the fact has been cited that forty years
ago John Stuart Mill pointed out the
dangers of the present elective plan
and counseled its abolition. All of
which is true, but what does It prove?
Simply that ideal conditions. viewed
through the kindly perspective Of the
imagination, look more inviting than
real ones, bedaubed as the latter in
variably are In consequence OF the in
evitable wear and tear of life.
There exists today no insuperable
obstacle between the people and a Judi
cial system as well-nigh ideal as Is
possible Of attainment while men re-
main fallible. The machinery Of our
elections is such as to permit the cleo
ton Of as good and true men to the
bench as could. under any proposed
system, be appointed. II the men who
are elected fall below the desired stand
electorate itself. and may be applied
whenever the people shall see fit. II in
any quarter the bench ia spotted with
the mud Of party strife. II is because
the opposing partisans are willing to
admit judges as targets for their fusil-
lade: and this willingness would not
disappear were the source Of judicial
authority to revert, under an appoint
i've system. to an intermediary agent.
It Is we'll to have all branches Of the
public service directly and fairly re-
fleet the character, temper and ideals
of the people behind that service.
When this is the fact. we have n de-
moeracy. When It is otherwise, we
have a government equivalent in prin-
ciple, II not in name, to tyranny. II
the people want partisan Judges. let
them elect such men to the bench. II
they want fair, learned and impartial
Judges let them he put to the trouble
to see that such men are nominated
and elected. There IL no artiflce of
manipulation which can absolve the
electors in q democracy from their duty
as sovereigns; and II they shirk that
duty and suffer in consequence. let
them endure the pain until they are
inspired by It to remedy the evil which
creates the pain.
