/ NOT SOLID 1OR REED.
New England states Are Not UnitedIy for
Him for President.

Boston, Mass, May 20-A local paper
today publishes the results of interviews
with leading New England Republicans
on the probable nominee to be supported
by New England delegates in 1896 The
article says:
They were disinclined to talk, assign
ing as a reason that it is rather early yet
to make a presidential nomination.
Some said they thought Mckinley the
logical candidate, but would rather not
offend MIR. Reed by saying SO.
Boston politicians did not seem to be
very enthusiastic over anybody, although
they admitted that as a matter of local
pride Mr.. Reed would probably re-
ceive the support of the New England
delegation if he desired their votes in
the convention.
Maine is as matter of course strongly
for Reed and her leading Republicans
predict he will have the solid New Eng
land delegation. Connecticut and Rhode
Island are quite positive Mr.. Reed cannot
control the New England delegation and
say they expect the nomination to go to
a western man.
New Hampshire and Vermont are
as doubtful as the two south
ern states of New England, but
they would without doubt swing into
line for Reed were the other states, in
Guiding Massachusetts, to favor him.
which seems likely.
The situation seems TO show that
while Reed has a strong hold on the
hearts of the New Englanders,
he cannot count on the New
England delegation as unit
owing to the attitude of Rhode Island
and Connecticut The article does not
indicate which is the stronger in New
DISQUALIFICATION or Mckinley.

tie Chance For Conviction.
LONDON, May 2O.-The Old Bailey
court was crowded today at II o'clock in
the morning, when Justice Wills, accom-
panied by the Lord Mayor of London,
Right Hon. Sir Jos. Ronals, and several
aldermen took their seats upon the bench
preparatory to the commencement of the
second trial of Oscar Wilde, who is
charged with serious nisdemeanora
Sir Edward Clarke. @ C.. counsel for
Wilde, Immediately made an elaborate
argument in favor of having Wilde
tried separately. The judge agreed to
this, and decided to try Taylor first
Wilde flied his personal bond in
$12, 900, and finding two sureties, the
Lord Douglas of Hawick and the Rev.
Stewart Headlam, in $6.25O each. Now
it is probable the case will go over until
next term of the central criminal court,
and there is evidently but a slight
chance of his conviction.
In consequence indignant comment is
heard on all sides at the turn events
have taken. In the meantime the trial
of Alfred Taylor proceeded.

A Good Rain in Eastern Kansas Last Night
Fifty-seven hundredths of an inch
of crops-inducing rain fell in
Shawnee county last night and the
reports in the railroad offices
show that it extends over other parts of
Kansas. On the Rock Island it extended
from Holton to Mcpherson and as far
south as Marion. The entire
eastern division of the Santa Fe

as far west as Newton and extended over
the southern division. 1t is bright and
clear and not too warm today and Mr..
Jennings thinks there is little prospect
of rain again before Wednesday at

Governor Morrill, Knew What Response

Governor Morrill, Knew What Responsi-
bilities He Would Have Governor.
DIR. Embree was one of the Methodist
preachers of Kansas who voted for and
helped elect Governor Morrill, and he
has always been a warm friend of Mr..
Morrill,.
DIR. Embree would not consent that his
sermon or any part of it be published,
but when seen by a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter today in reference to his criticism
of Governor Morrill,, he said: sMr. Nor
riil sought the office of governor dill
gently for three years. He is an old
kansan, fully acquainted with Kansas
laws and conditions and knew exactly
what would be required of him if elect
ed Thus far his administration is a
painful surprise. What can we say but
that we are disappointed? What can we
do but declare our dissatisfaction and
call for a reform?
1--WE do not ask him to do the impos-
sible, but to do what he can to redeem
the state from all sorts of lawlessness.
He has sworn to enforce the laws to the
best of his ability. We want him to do
it. We want him to discourage crime,
not to apologize for it
'If there are cities in the state where
law cannot be enforced with the present
machinery, let him report the matter to
the legislature. If there are laws on
the statute book which should not be
there, let him enforce them and we will
be the sooner rid of them.
"Mr. Morrill, is nothing more than a
citizen of Kansas, vested for time with
certain responsibilities which he must
discharge with integrity and honor or
accept the consequences.
"All good men and women will will
ingly forget the past if Mr. Morrill, will
permit them"

Rev. A. s. Embree preached a sermon
to large congregation on "Resistance of

terday, which was partly on Governor
Morrill, also As near as the reporter
could take down Mr.. Embree's words (he
would not permit a copy of them to be
taken from his written sermon) were as
follows:
Faith consists in doing something, not
like Gov. Morrill,, sitting around and
waiting till the sentiment of the people
in u certain spot is worked up to the
right point
'It is time that the people had SOM
thing besides characterless man as

go at it with gloves off and enforce the
law. l am not ready to say that in
Leavenworth the prohibitory law can be
entirely enforced, but tits the chief execu-
tive's place to do all in his power to have
it done.

nearly three years, and he knew if we
gave it to him just what the oath of Of
flee required and the people expected.
"He mas gone around throwing dust in
peoples eyes and thus gaining thousands
of votes by posing as a Christian man
and the Oldest Sunday school superIn-
tendent in the state, and the people had
a right to suppose that he'd enforce the
law.

the people, his friends or his political
constituents. In fact he has pleased no
one but the whisky men and his political
enemies.

Is Drunkenness a Crime.

Is drunkenness crime? This is a
question that has been agitating two
local contemporaries for some time
AS it has been very clearly proved
that the act of getting drunk itself is
not crime, one of the papers alluded
to, thinks that it should be made cri-
mlnal. 1t states that at present a
drunken man may insult his friends
or strangers, offend ladies in the
streets, resist the police, and do a
great many other things which if
done by sober man would cause ar
rest. If this is the case, the peace
officers are to blame, for there certain
ly is no law which allows a drunken
man to commit any offense with inn
punity for which sober man could
justly be arrested. But it may be
said in defense of the police that
there is always and everywhere feel
ing that men who are not in their
right senses, whether from excessive
indulgence in liquor or other causes,
should not be held to such strict ac-
countability for their actions as if
they were in the full enjoyment of all
their mental faculties. This indul-
gence is of doubtful wisdom, even as
regards idiots and maniacs, and of
course much more so in the case of
drunken men; still, it exists, and the
policemen who ignores its existence is
liable to get himself into trouble.-Two
Republics, City of Mexico.
In the Argentine Republic, W en- a
man is caught drunk, he is made to

and it will hide its face.-The Path

OutlaWing Liars.

A merchant in Chicago sent one of
his travelling statesmen to Michigan,
and upon his return asked him if he
had canvassed a certain town for
orders, The salesman replied that he
had done SO.
Subsequently the merchant learned
that the man had not visited the town
in question, and discharged him for
lying. The salesman then began an
action to compel payment of his
salary as agreed upon i'll contract
which both had signed.
In the trial the defense of salesman
was that If he did make false state
ment it did not result in any damage
to the interests OF his employer. and
consequently that it did not afford
grounds for ann1lling the contract.
The Judge decided in favor OF the
merchant, holding that lie told by
an employee to his employ er invalidat-
es the contract of employment.
Good! In the business and, we may
add, in the newspaper world there
should be no room for the liar. The
process should go on until

sort, the Colonia. both of which are an

sible to nave an International yacht race

were early aboard the Defender watching
the preparations to replace the present
sails by a new and larger set which
arrived here last night on the propel-
Ter Hattie Palmer, which has been char
tered by Mr.. Iselin to accompany the
Defender during the trial races. The
new set of sails was landed at Mr.. Ise-
Inns dock last evening and a dozen men
worked hard all night to get them ready
to be stretched SO that the yacht could
if possible leave here at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Mr.. Iselin cSa,ed this morning that the
Defender in company with the Hattie
Palmer and the Colonia would positive
" leave here at two o'clock, but this does
not look probable, as the new sails had
not been taken on board the Defender
