Democratic leaders naturally under
vaiuo the Intelligence Of the American
people. Long association with tho
rank and file Of their own party is
enough to account for that. There
fore, II Is not surprising that they
should attempt absurd tricks, In the
desperation OF a hopeless campaign
which must be fought out somehow.
But Aocs not tho Carlisle-Clcvcland
scheme Of doctoring tho United States

anything OF the kind that should have
been expected, even from democrats?
Can Il be that men OF ability and cx-

make votes BY giving the orators and
editors Of their party an opportunity TO
boast Of fictitious surplus In tho
month OF September. which Is sure tc
be followed by big deficit in october2

HORTON REVERSED.


Chief Justice Martin DisaGFoes Win m
Predecessor - to Redsnptjoa Law.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec 9.-November I,
1884,, George A. Kirkland gave his note
for 81. 500 running Eve years at eight
per cent, securing the same by mort
gage on q farm in Shawnee county.
He afterward sold the farm to John
L. Beverly subject to the mortgage.
January II, 1893, Martha Barnitz,
holder of the mortgage, brought suit
in foreclosure, and in July judgment
was granted. In January, 1884, the
sheriff sold the farm to Martha Bar
nftz for 5000. March II, 1898,
the mortgage redemption law
went into effect. When mo-
ton to confirm the sheriff's sale
was made in the district court, Bev-
erly asked that it be subject to the
equity of redemption. The court re-
fused and the case was taken on error
into the supreme court which by .
majority opinion rendered by Chief
Justice Horton affirmed the court be-
low.
A rehearing was asked for and
granted and to-day Chief Justice Mar
tin rendered . decision reversing his
predecessor. He holds that the equity
of redemption fixed by the law applies
to the mortgages executed prior to
the enactment of the statute and in
his opinion he is sustained by Asso-
ciate Justice Allen, the Populist mem
Der of the court. Associate Justice
Johnston dissented.

OF delay and evasion of Oriental
diplomacy, Is practiced by the Turk

demands.
Since the return of H. NJ. s. Dryad
to Salonica bay, 60 word has been
heard of any actual order or move
ment to advance upon the Dardanelles.
Opinion continues divided as to
whether the delay in taking any action
to enforce the demands is due
to fear of causing a fanatical out
break against the Christians ty the
Mussulman subjects of the sultan, or
to a dread of a clash ensuing between
the powers themselves.

time. but finally yielded, and sent by
messengers a note reading: Dear
Adry:-I want you to come at once to
the Jail, as wish particularly to see
you. have no other object than the
desire to ask your forgiveness for any
wrong, either real or imaginary, l may
have done you. want once more to
see you on this earth This is the wish
and dying request of your brother.
HARRY"

brothers engaged in interested CONVEX
sation. What passed was not heard
by any person until Harry raised his
voice to say: Nov have done my
part. have forgiven you for all you
have done. Now you do as I ask"
But, Harry, how can I?' returned
Adry, appeallngly.
The answer was too much for the
prisoner. He sprang to hls feet and
poured fourth a TRADE of abuse never
before heard in the old Jail:
You low down, mean. contemplate,
miserable, damnable wretch. You re-
fuse to do that. after what have
done. You God-forsaken tool You
have played a good part, but now

your brains with knife. would
tear out your heart with my hands. I
/ would crush the two together, cut
them to pieces. squeeze out the juice,
make it into pie and thrust it down
your throat"
He clenched his hands in his rage
and stamped his feet fiercely. His
face was ashen and livid by turns
Adry sat quiet for few minutes, but
seeing the uselessness of waiting
longer. arose and started to 60.
God bless you. Good-by, Harry"
he called sadly, as he was about to go
down the stairs
''Oh, you villain" was the return
greeting. MAY the curse of God fall
on you and yours and allow me to
haunt you until your dying day. Aha!
