REFUSES TO SET ASIDE
Another Judge Takes = Whack at the
Mortgage Redemption Law.


Abiline, Kan, March 5.-Probably the
most important case during this term
of court In its effects throughout the
| district, and as a precedent as the first
ruling in the state on the subject, was
decided this morning when Judge Moore
handed down an opinion in the case Of
Porter vs. Westfall and Kirby.
This is motion TO amend and correct
judgment rendered upon a promissOry
note for 81, 245 and foreclosure of mort
gage on eighty acres of land in Banner
township. The foreclosure sale was con-
firmed in the September term Of court
in 1894 This was after the passage of
the mortgage redemption law Of 1899,
giving eighteen months in which to re-
deem lands sold under foreclosure, but
the supreme court ruling which declared
that this redemption privilege was due
as well to notes made before the pas
sage of the redemption law as after. had
not been made. Last fall the supreme
court made this ruling and since then
there has been much speculation as to
the real status of foreclosure sales made
after the adoption of the law and before
the courts ruling.
Thomas Kirby, the banker, having
had an interest in this realty, brought
action to have the sheriff's sale, which
had been confirmed, set aside and that
he be allowed to redeem the land by
paying the amount sold for with costs.
II is claimed that the decree was enter
ed by a mistake of the rule of law and
should be set aside.
Judge Moore handed down a lengthy
opinion reviewing authorities on the
power of a district court TO change or
set aside a ruling after the end of the
term in which it was made. These he
holds deny such right to the court. He
further argues that to allow such pro-
cedure would result IN confusion and
constant changing Of decisions. Hence
he denies the motion and refuses to set
aside the sale, since il was regularly
confirmed. regardless of the fact that
the supreme court afterward ruled that
all foreclosures after thetaking effect
of the new law were subject to redemp-
ton
This ruling means that there win be
no disturbance of titles secured by
sheriff's sales since the adoption Of the
new law.
The opinion says as to the further con-
firmationS: This court has the power
upon motion TO confirm a sale under
a judgment which was rendered in the
forms Of law existing prior to 1898, but
actually rendered after the redemption
law of 1893 took effect, to order that
certificate be issued TO the purchaser, $
provided in section1, chapter 109, laws
Of 1898, and such will be the order when
ever demanded"

LESS THAN A YEAR NOW
New President viii he in his Seat This
Time Next Year

Chicago, March 5.-Walter Welleman
writes from Washington:
''One year from yesterday new pres
tdent will be inaugurated in this city
and the conviction is growing in the
minds of political observers here that
the man will be either William McKin-
ley or William c. Whitney. The num-
Der Of men who believe Major McKin-
sey will receive the Republican nominal
tion at ST. Louis is much larger than ap-
pears on the surface. II is true that a
great many Of those who are at the
present time lending their influence to
other aspirants really believe the Ohio
candidate will walk away with the
prize. AS to Mr.. Whitney, the impress
ion deepens that he may after all be the
Democratic nominee. While no one
doubts the sincerity Of his declaration
that he does not want the responsibility,
the party eXigenCy is such that he may
be forced TO relinQuiSh his personal pre-
ference and serve as the leader. The
hopes Of his admirers, instead of being
chilled by his recent letter 10 Missis-
Efppi friend, have been strengthened
thereby. If Mr.. Whitney were a can
hidate in earnest, he could not have
written "A more adroit and clever letter
BY reiterating his unbOunded faith in
the future Of international bimetallism,
Mr.. Whitney held out TO his party the
nne means Of securing and maintaining
peace in the ranks during the coming
campaign. In this he marks out a pro-
gram which silver men can stand upon

the credit OF any political party in the
United States 10 take up the idea and
to attempt such a shaping Of the poll
cies Of this country as would bring
about the proposed interna tional agree
ment. II is urged that if MT Whitneys
belief is not well founded nothing can
be lost by an effort to realize his. hopes.
Indeed, much might be gained.
Mr.. Whitney has sounded what many
Democrats believe better cry for
peace than any compromise which has
better than any mere straddle by
means OF rhetoric. If Mr.. Whitneys
peace program can be carried through
the Chicago convention that gathering
will declare in favor of world remone-
tizatiOn OF silver and against American
remonet tia ton alone. That would be
definite It would mean something. It
would look toward solution of the prob
lem, ultimately. il not al once. 1t would
be a working proposition, something to
shape the national policy 10 and TO
attain results by if possible.
The Whitney program offers nothing
of menace to the prosperity Of the coun-
try. 1t is harmless at any rate. And
as for his party, if it operated 70 hold
the two wings together for a time, to
would serve a wholesome purpose. Il
IS the belief of many students of af-
fairs that the silver craze IN both par
ties. in its extreme form, is temporary;
that it will gradually pass away. If Mr..
Whitney's policy were 10 be the means
Of preventing the Democracy making
the awful blunder of going bodily over
TO free silver-a blunder which would
be fatal to any party-lt would be
good policy If IT never accomplished any
thing more. II is as safe as the Cleve-
program Of declaring virtually for the
gold standard and it might hold the
party together as unit, which Mr..
Cleveland is not likely TO succeed in do
ing.
There does not appear 10 be the
slightest prospect that Mr.. Whitney Will
seek the nomination. There is no ground
whatever for believing he would be
pleased # il came TO him unsought.
There are reasons for thinking that if
the party accepted his program and de-
manded him for its leader he would not
refuse "

VOTERS IN WICHITA ARE REGIS
TERIEG VERY SLOW

Out of a Voting Population of Our s'ooV'

ciImen and Six Members of the School

Rocks Will Close March 20, 1896.
MISUNDERSTANDING the fact that there
remains but three weeks in which the
citizens. hoth men and women, can reg
lister so as to be able TO vote at the COM
ing city election, the deputy city CLERK
announced to an Eagle reporter that
out of $500 voters less than per cent
have registered since Jan. l, 1896.
At the coming election six council
men will be elected before whom will be
Brought many vital questions, among
which might be mentioned the light,
telephone, water and other questions.
There will also be six members Of the
school board elected and before the in
coming board there VIII come many
vital and important questions.
This being the case the present inter
est taken by the voters is something
which is troubling local politicians at
the present time.
At the coming election women will be
allowed a voice and notwithstanding
the fact that on March ), 1896 there were
over 400 registered, yet on March .,
1896 but eleven female voters have COM
piled with the law Of registering their
names on and after the first day Of
January and ten days before the cleo
ton. Is ii possible that they have lost
all IN terest IN their municipal rights
OF suffrage or are they intending to
quietly await the arrival of the car
T3ages.
If the voters are waiting for carriages
this year they will probably be left, as
while the offices to be filed by the
voters is of the utmost Importance TO
the city, there is not sufficient salary

one day, and the result viii be that
unless there is a great awakening that
