THE RUFF CONE CASE.

Quo warranto proceedings have been
brought against Sheriff Rufe Cone of
Sedgwick county, 10 Dust him from Of
fee. The charges are brought under the
Douglass law. passed to prevent corrupt
practices at elections. In his canvass he
is charged with giving money, whisky,
wine. beer and cigars to various persons
in the campaign and at the polls.
Rufe is notorious Populist. and in
Wichita there is an element bitterly I'M
mical 10 him. He denies all the charges
brought against him in toto. and alleges
animus ii the prosecution. Not only so.
but he declares there has been a previous
attempt at blackmail.
The offense with which Cone is charged
constitutes Il felony. The punishment is
a fine of from 500 TO 81 .OOO or imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for not more
than two years, or both. Any person
elected to an office who shall be proved to
have violated any provision of the gen
eral election law shall forfeit his Office
Forfeiture OF officeis punishment which
the attorney general now seeks 10 have
inflicted upon Cone. with the understand
ing that criminal prosecution will follow

If Rufus Cone IS guilty of the charges
he ought TO suffer the penalty fixed by law.

.J1NGoIsM OR GoLDBUGGERY.

The Drawn and sinew of the great
Democratic party proclaim their 10y
atty to the dollar of the daddieS," but
we are being treated TO the spectacle
of rivalry for its leadership between
a mononetaIlic maniac and a war
whooper. both goldbugs. 1t is case
of Jingoism and goldburgery. Olney
is for war and Carlisle for Wall street.
Neither conservatism or the dollar of
the daddies'' are anywhere in it. There
is nothing left for the body of the party
in the west and south TO do but TO sur
render TO their leaders or go over TO
the Populists, as they have done in
Kansas. 1t may be said that Carlisle
is but carrying out the policy of his
superior and not that Of his own con-
victions. But the same might just as
well be affirmed Of Olney. The strength
Of each inheres in his present position,
not in what either held or taught in
the past. The old-time conservative
and the longtime silver elements of
the party are hopelessly stranded, ap-
parently.

A CAMPAIGN OF BLOOD.

Now that a butcher has been put in
command of the Spanish forces in Cuba
there is no excuse for the United States
longer Withholding its recognition of the
belligerent rights of the republican gov
eminent, which if not invincibly estab-
lished, is so in fact. All the talk of
guerrilla cruelty upon the part of the
patriots has been disputed by the let
ter of President Cisneros to the New
York Herald. He says that it is a
maxim of revolution that any cruelty
is justifiable against the enemy, but
that in fact none Of the revolutionary
generals have cOuntenanced anything
of the kind, while they have refrained
from incendiarism ard; pillage. OF
course it has been found necessary to
destroy and burn in some instances,
but these things occur in every revolu-
ton. However all that may be, the
failure of the Spanish government to
crush the rebellion stands undisputed.
General Weyler, who succeeds Cam
pos, has the reputation of being the
most brutal and bloodthirsty military
man who has drawn a Spanish sword
in the present century. 1t is given out
that he will spare neither age or sex
in carrying out his bloody policy.
Cruel fortunes and savage brutality is
TO mark his course, and the bodies of
women and children are to fill up his
slaughter pens. The home government
Of Spain complained that CGmpOs was
too lenient in his treatment of Cuban
prisoners and that he was not severe
enough with patriot sympathizers, and
too cOnciliatory with the enc
mics Of Spain. Weyler, it is claimed,
will never be convicted OF any such
charges. His record shows him to be
the 1iend personified and that his sole
policy will be to crush and in crushing
win. The appointment Of such a man
as captain general of Cuba is an insult
to humanity, and it is high time that
this government said so by recognizing
the new republic of Cuba.

ALL ABOUT PATAGONIA.

One Of the most interesting contribu-
tons of recent date, to current liter
ature in these book-fooded days, is d
volume of nearly three hundred pages
8 vo., under the somewhat tempting
title of The Gold Diggings of Cape
Horn" from the pen of John r. Speers,
reporter Of the New York Sun. The
title of the book is rather misleading,
for very small portion of it is de-
voted to the yellow metal, it being
mainly descriptive of the topography,
fauna and fora Of that faraway re-
gions, it's aboriginal and present white
population. According to the writer,
some very rich auriferOus discoveries
have been made in that country, but
scarcity of water in many parts where
gold is known to exist renders profit
able mining impracticable. The chief
charm of the work lies in its uncon-
strained narrative style and accuracy
of detail: and especially as regards the
several tribes of Indians and Spanish
American inhabitants. The author
draws full length portrait of the
unique gancho, the South American
cowboy who, unlike his namesake of
our western plains. regards a revolver
or Winchester with contempt and con-
siderS his knife and bola as sufficient
for all emergencies, and prides him
self upon his expert use of those wea
pOns. The book is well seasoned with
wit and humor and Astounding in fasci

We stumble or the gifts we prize
Al other things above,
For ever since tie world began,
we've fallen into love
