We publish in another column a
communication from Seth Furnas.
We know nothing of the circum-
stances except as related by Mr.. Fur
mas. If such wrong as Mr.. FurnaS
charges has been committed. some.
body deserves rough treatment, and
we can assure all parties interested
that Mr.. FurnaS is not a blackmailer
or anything of the sort. While he
lived in this county he was an up
right citizen and had the respect
and esteem of all who knew him. His
many friends in this county, will, we
are quite sure, respond to his appeal
for help financially and otherwise. If
political influence attempts to stand
in the way Of justice in a case of this
sort, somebody will get their reputa-
ton Soiled.

The Oxford Register put the i'm
preston abroad that the law requir-
ing all candidates to file sworn state
ments of their campaign expenditures
was part of the Australian ballot
law. Such is not the case. 1t is a
separate and distinct act, entitled
ian act to prevent corrupt practices
at elections" The Sledgehammer
Statesman of Wichita is the author
Of it. The law is all right, except
that the legislature ought to amend
it so as except any candidate for an
flee Of less Importance than county

fOrds a secret ballot and will never be
repealed in its essential features.

1t is perfectly plain to all intelligent

there change impending in the is

Carroll D. Wright, the United
States commissioner of labor. voiced
the same sentiment recently when he
said We are in the midst of a silent
revolution. The contention is be-
tween two great modern ideas of gov
eminent, both of which are bent on
crOwding out the original design.
The contest is between paternalism
on the one hand, as illustrated by the
Pacific railroads, the national banks
and the protective tariff; and frater-
nalism on the other, characterized by
a demand that the government shall
own and operate all public utilities
for the common interest of the pee
pie. Believers in both theories are to
be found in all political parties at
present, but whenever these opposing
sentiments shall crystalline in the
form of two opposing political parties.
then the question will be settled.

Washington, Jan. 2%.-rhc attempt

of 9 to and instead of Il resolution
for impeachment, which Mr.. Bailey
had prepared to report to the house,
one will he presented dcnouncing the
fee system which, in the opinion OF
the members, has made the proceed
ingS possible. Judge Kicks gave a
personal cNplanati on to the committee
Of accounts in the BirdSell case, which
he had handled as clerk of the court
and which furnished the ground for
the investigation, and testimony was
given against him by Martin w. san

and succeeded to the clcrkship when
Judge Kicks was promoted to the
bench

that they would be when all the mcm-

had four democratic votes, and as the

there is no probability that 1t will be
revived. The committee adopted the
following resolutions by Il vote of o

is not satisfied that Judge Kicks has
been guilty of any wrong committed
while Judge that will Justify 1t in re-

THE WAY OF IT.

This was the way her youth went:
Care and love for motherless brood
Drained her heart OF Its fiery blood;
Small denials unfinished things,
Bluntcd ardor and clipped her wings.
That Is the way her youth went,
This Is the way her love went:
Then came the hope which maidens
prize,
A woman's longing for closer ties
Than love adopted, though close II
be;
But duty spoke, and she made no
plea.
That Is the way her love wont.
After senson OF pain, twas done,
The calm, pale face In It's coffin lay;
But far and Wide In the realms Of
day
The angels shouted to greet her
home,
And Heaven wns happier now she
had come.
That Is the way her life went
