Our County Ticket.

The Republicans of TregO county
are to be congratulated upon the eX-
cellence of the ticket presented for
their suffrages this year. 1t is COM
posed of good, capable men, every one
of whom is especially well qualified to
discharge the duties of the position
to which he aspires. This fact was
so well recognized that in most cases
no other names were presented to the
convention which nominated them.
and the unanimity with which they
were chosen as standard bearers may
be taken as an indication of the ma
jorities which will insure their cleo
tion. 1t is one of the strongest
tickets ever presented to the voters of
this county and men of all parties
can. do and will unite in support of it.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE
We have Jesse Cockrell, a native of
Illinois, from which state he enlisted
in the 122nd Volunteer Infantry. and
served three years as Union soldier
under such Generals as A. J. Smith
and w. T. Sherman. For the past
ten years he has been resident of
Adair precinct where he has the en-
tire confidence and respect of all his
neighborS who recognize his superior
fitness to represent them in the law
making body of the state. He is a
farmer and well acquainted with the
agricultural and business conditions
in western Kansas, and all interests
of our section of the state will have
no more energetic, watchful and
III
Cockrell whose name is a synonym for
business activity and integrity.
FOR PROBATE JUDGE
the Republicans present the name of
Captain A. ]. johnson who is also an
old soldier. He is native of Ohio
and served nearly three years for the
suppression of the rebellion, enlisting
in the 9th Minnesota Volunteer In
fantry. For the past fifteen years he
has lived in Collyer township. and en-
joys the esteem of his neighbors. He
has the scholarship and sound judg-
ment necessary for the discharge of
the highly responsible duties of the
office to which his fellow citizens will
elect him. He is further qualified by
considerable experience in public life.
In short, there is no question as to
his fitness for probate judge, which is
the only question voters will ask after
a comparison of candidates; and the |
answer is apparent.
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
For this important office we unite |
with large majority of Trego county |
citizens in support of Honest John"
A. Nelson. Mr.. Nelson has lived in |
this community eighteen years. We |
have known him almost that long and |
have yet to hear the first person ques-
tion his integrity or his ability. In
fact, both are conceded by his ac-
quaintances and friends who are |
found in all parts of the county. Dur
ing his long residence in the county |
he has had seven years experience,
at different periods, in the Office to
which he will be reelected. His po-
sition is important as an advisor of
the county commissioners and other
officers, and doubly so as prosecuting
attorney in criminal cases. He can

TOURS no CALIFORNIA.

California has been most fittingly
termed the Italy Of America" All
the delicious balm, the cloudless sky,
and the rich verdure of the great Eu-
ropean Peninsula are duplicated in
this sunny land of the Pacific. Here
nature basks i'm the sunshine of her
own beauty: and here she has estab-
lished her own sanitarium, where eter-
nal Spring inspires everlasting youth.
with the snow-mantled peaks of the
Sierras upon the one hand, the calm
Pacific with its soft breezes upon the
other. and a veritable paradise of flow
ers, fruits, and plants between, man
can find and needs no lovelier land.
To visit such a country is privilege,
a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, recognizing the need of a more
comfortable and pleasant way OF cross
ing the continent. inaugurated a series
of annual tours TO California, running
a through train of Pullman palace cars
from New York to the Pacific coast,

interest en- route. The great popular
ity of these tours demonstrates the
wisdom of the movement.
For the season of 1897, three tours
have been arranged TO leave New York,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, January
! o. February "a and March 27.
The first tour will run direct to San
Diego via st. Louis and the Santa Fe

known as chOme glazed kid. dun don
COLA and chrome mat kid. These goods
were all imported from Europe and
South America, but were mostly manu-
factured i'm Wilmington. The cause
for the sale was the large stock on
hand, and the approach of the season
for tan and russet kids to come on the
market. These kids are used almost
exclusively for ladies' and children s
fine shoe uppers, and the sale was of
particular interest to shoe manufac-
turers, and large numbers of them
were in attendance.
The sale was considered by Auction
eer Wilmerding as fairly successful,
considering it was an innovation in the
trade. Most of the stock brought salts
factory prices. especially the chrome
glazed kids, ranging from to Is cents
per foot according to the grade, but
some of the less desirable grades were
only disposed of at a sacrifice. It was
estimated that the sale would realize
fully $50. 900. Among the prominent
buyers were b. J. Sullivan, of Sullivan
& Phillips: Charles Becker Of Booth &
Co.; j. Randell, of the Mount Holly
Shoe Company, Mount Holly, n. j.,
and Folk & Fritz, Wilmington.

THE PUNISHMENT OF WOMEN.


There is a pretty general belief in
this country that women criminals
should properly receive the same kind
of punishment that is meted out to men
for like acts of criminality. Yet it is to
be noted that there is natural incli-
nation on the part of our courts and
officials to favor those women who be-
come amenable to the laws. AS a mat
ter of fact. this may be wrong, and we
question if women were in authority
whether this almost indefneable cour-
tesy would be shown to men. Our sense
of right shows us that in sentence of
the law the question of sex should not
arise. A malefactor should be regarded
simply as a malefactor, and no eXtenu-
ating conditions considered in one case
more than another.
Il is interesting to know that in
Austria, where the women have but
few rights that their husbands are
bound to respect, they are accorded inn
munity from the punishments which
are meted out to male criminals. No
trian women is ever condemned to
death or even Imprisonment. After sem
tence upon her is pronounced she is
sent to a convent and here she remains
for a certain number of years, COM
mensurate with her offense. under no
greater restraint than if she had re-
tired to conventual life of her own free
will
The Austrian plan is certainly suf-
fciently considerate, but we have no
statistical information upon which to
base any plausible idea of its influence
upon the women criminals who are
thus treated. We hardly think il would
work we'll in this country. for even
supposing that women are never car
ried away by their own evil passions
which would be far more liable to be
the case with the ignorant classes il
there was no fear of death to confront
them, there are always the possibilities
offered to women to become the tools
of evil-minded men, who could thus
have their criminal plans carried on
without the fear of losing their owl
lives.
The women of this country hav
more rights than in any other part G
the civilized world, with the single dis
ability of being unable to vote in por
tion of the states. Their personal right
before the law are superior TO thos
held by men. When we consider thi
and the fact that in some of the state
the right of free citizenship and ful
franchise is now granted to women,
there any reason why they should nc
be made amenable TO the laws as niue
as men? They are, and the true sent
ment of the country is that the
should be.

NM CITY,s LEGAL sERvICE.

The question of the city solicitor
employing counsel in defending the in
terests OF the city is being distorted
and misrepresented by designing per-
sons whose motives will not stand pub
lie scrutiny. AS matter of fact, the
municipality has never been more sue
cessful in the courts than since Robert
G. Hartman became city solicitor and
exercised his own good judgment in
the matter of selecting associate coun-
sci. Not only that, but the service has
cost the city much less than it
did under any previous admin
istration, and has been much
more beneficial in its results. The
disgraceful compromises for the bene-
fit Of hungry litigants and sordid and
unprincipled lawyers have become a
thing of the past. If a person who has
played in the hands OF claim lawyer
on a so per cent. contingent fee basis,
wants to make a raid on the city treas
ury he knows now that he will have
to prosecute a bitter fight for the spoils
with every prospect of being defeated
in his endeayors.
We have a city solicitor who, while
unable to do by himself all of the inn
mense volume OF work thrust upon him
by the various departments, is full of
fight at all times and who knows what
instruments and agencies to invoke to
make his fight successful.
No city solicitor has ever done all Of
the work of the Office himself 1t is a
physical impossibility. There has al
ways been associate counsel in event
of multiplicity of cases, or when case
Of peculiarly grave import is to be
tried Mr.. Harman has done more by
himself than any Of his predecessors,
and when he required help he employed
it at reasonable expense to the city.
In times gone by the raid made on
the city treasury by associate counse
employed by the city solicitor at the
suggestion OF the departments ha:
been much worse than that threatened
by the litigant and his or her lawyer
IL is so no longer. The city is getting
good legal service at reasonable cost
the treasury is safe, and it should rec
ognize and appreciate the fact.
