THAT POLITICAL CONTEST.

Under the above caption the legal
editor of the Independent, in last
weeks issue, contributed almost three
columns, principally, as it would APP
pear to the average reader, to prove
that one of the members of the con-
test court, in the case of Barclay VS..
Musgrave, was a nonentity who did
what he was told to do in the first in
stance and afterwards recanted for
the same reasOn-becauSe he was told
to do so. What this member of the
contest court might have done if
influenced the Independent neglects
to inform US. Certain it is he signed
the findings in the first instance vol
due influence of any kind. Certain it
is again when Rathbone wrote the
findings as he would like to have had
them the aforesaid member also
signed them although diametrically
opposed to the first findings. His
first act was performed under the
solemnity of an oath. His last deci-
sion was handed down week after
the trial had ended and after repeated
pfuCu OHCOui
from his political BOSSES" Not a
line of the minority report was writ
ten by Mr.. Rhoades; it was all written
by the legal editor of the Independent
and we presume if it had charged a
crime against the contestor punisha-
BILE by death it would have been signed
just the same.
The publication of the dissenting
opinion can have but one effect and
that is to make the judge who signed
it ridiculous in the eyes of all sensible
men. We are informed that Mr..
Rhoades attempts to justify himself
by relating how, when he told his
wife that he had signed the original
findings of the court, she said: "James
you have done wroa =" That, beliey
ing his wife's judgment better than
his own, although she had not heard
word of the evidence or argument
he, at the suggestion of the said lega
gentleman = who kindly wrote the
document for him-signed the dis
senting opinion, which is only used by
the Independent for the purpose Of
manufacturing public sentiment. anC
without any care for the extremely
ridiculous attitude Mr.. Rhoades has
been placed in by signing two opinions
as wide apart in their effect anC
meaning as the poles.

An Unlucky Succession.

C. NJ Harger. in Chicago Times Herald.
Two notable Kansans sank below
the horizon with the election of Col.
William A. Harris as the successor of
PETER in the senate OF the United
States. The returns show ingalls,
and PETER among the missing.
Mr.. ingalls, is now 63 years old. and
it will be six years before he can be
expected to come prominently before
the state for his old place-if he ever
does. There is another election of
senator in four years, but he has been
quoted as saying that he would never
seek an election to that '.fated sue
cession," as he terms the line of SEN
ators from Kansas which comes down
from Jim Lane. Its history is GER
trast to the line in which Mr.. Ingalls,
was so prominent for eighteen years.
Kansas elected its first senators in
the winter of 1861, few weeks after
the state was admitted into the
Union. 1t was one of the first acts
that marked the work of the young
state. James III. Lane and S. c. Pom
eroy were chosen and drew lots to see
who should have the short term and
who the long. Right then the i'll
fortune of the ''fated succession" be-
gan, for Lane was the loser in the
chance. Lane had been one of the
foremost partisans of the territorial
days of the state, and he made fast
friends ard strong enemies. He was
opinionated, and when he went to
Washington he cid not heal over the
opposition to him. The legislature
almost a year before his term expired
elected the then governor, Thomas
Carney, to his seat. Carney did not
accept, but served notice on the state
that he resigned all claims to the
office Lane was reelected, but a
year later he startled the state by
shooting himself through the head at
Fort Leavenworth, dying July IL.
1866. 1t was the cruel end of busy
life, and his career was one of the
most striking in the history of the
building of the West He was fore
most in the fight of the SOS over the
question of making Kansas free or
slave, and his voice was one of the
strongest in the cause of freedom
Edmund G. Ross was appointed by
the governor to fill the term and he
went to Washington, where he was
afterward to become 50 conspicuous.

A Labor Diplomat.

The expulsion Of Mr.. Tom Mann from
Paris has been attended by some very
curious incidents, says a foreign ex-
change. He went as the representative
of the International Dock and Riverside
Workers. He prepared the address but
was not allowed to deliver it. and it
was read in French by the secretary of
the union. Mr.. Mann was ordered to
leave. and had to give an assurance
tnat he would not attend any meeting
during the twenty-four hours allowed
TO him. Subsequently the project of the
Seine was taken to task for prohibit
ing the lecture, and a vote of censure
upon him was carried by 43 to 10; and
questions were put to the minister of
the interior as to the expulsion of the
lecturer. Then came a clever trick on
the part of one of the labor leaders
the speech of Mr.. Tom Mann was
handed over to one of the municipal
council of Paris and was read, by which
means it became public official docu-
ment, published by authority and
posted all over Paris. 1t is about the
neatest thing ever done by a represent
alive of labor, in conjunction with one
who sympathized with it in a public
body. II the lecture had been allowed,
only a few would have heard it, and
but a small proportion would have read
the report of it; now r will have
wide circulation all over France

British Employers, Liability.


A bill has been pending before the
British parliament which is in the ma
ture of an amendment to the Employ
ers' Liability Act of 1880, and If passed
will compel all employers in railway,
factory, mine, quarry or engineering
work to compensate an employee or his
heirs for injury or death occasioned by
accident. The amount of compensation
for the death of employee having family
or other dependents shall not be less
than E150 ($720) nor more than E3OO
Isl, 440). If the deceased has no de-
pendents the compensation shall cover
medical and funeral expenses not ex-
ceeding FLO ($4S). Any weekly pay
ments made during illness will be de-
Quoted in final settlement. A pecul-
lar feature of this amendment is the
apparent fact that employers are held
responsible for all accidents, even
though precautions have been taken to
avoid such accidents. The difference in
compensation paid on account of death
of married and unmarried employees
would seem to indicate that in order to
avoid large compensations employers
would avoid, so far as possible, the en-
ployment of married persons.
