A few niGutes afterwards there was

A sympathetIc Queen,

Mrs Sarah A Tooley contributes 20 the
Lady's Realm for September charming
article on Royalty on the Dee-scde, .
which is full OF pleasant gossip about the
good relations between the Queen and her

right TO go back Of the returns to pass
upon the legality Of the votes cast.
Judge Parker interviewed with a per-
emptory order to them to certify to the
returns as they had been filed and not

not in doubt except as the county Off

The audacity Of the Ohio Democratic
managers has no parallel in the late his
tory of politics nor indeed since 1876,
when the Democrats of Oregon made
a bold attempt TO steal an elector for
Samuel J. Tilden and which would
have been successful but for the alac-
rity and despatch with which Joseph \.
Simon, then a leading Republican Of
Portland, interposed an objection and
with the aid of railway authorities pre-
vented Grover and Tony NolGner from
getting out of the state with forged

DEMOCRATIC sKULLDUGGERY

one OF the greatest menaceS 10 the life
Of the republic is the never-ceasing
effort to defeat the VII of the people
as expressed at the ballot-box. The
man or party who tampers with the re-
turns OF an election is guilty of the
grayest treason. For two or three days
the result of the late election in the
Ohio was left in doubt. 1t now trans
pires that when ii became apparent To
the Democratic managers that the state
was going 10 be close orders were sem
out 10 all election boards dominated by
Democrats To file no returns until they
were directed TO do so by officers of the
central committees of their respective
counties. The Republicans discovered
the plot just in time To Officially warn
every board in the state To strictly and
promptly comply with the law, by
counting the ballots and making re
turns. otherwise prosecutions would be
Instituted. The Ohio Democrats were
desperate from the fact that off years

New York all repudiate the I6 to l
policy, the prestige of the party and its
chances with Bryan would he rendered
almost hopeless. The prompt action of
the Republicans nipped in the bud the
proposed scheme of certain Democrats

a Democratic legislature although a
vicious effort was made TO execute tho
order. In great many precincts which
had been carried by small majoritieS

when there was no farther chance OF

Pop GREED.

The office of state librarian is of little
or no political or party consequence.
What is demanded is a man thoroughly
c0nversant with books and such a
technical memory as to enable him to
put his hand readily upon the required
volume. In addition, the librarian
should be a man of varied literary in
formation. The present state librarian
of Kansas is an exceptionally compet-
ent man. But the Pops having discov-
cred that The can be displaced, a Pop is
to be put in his place, and great is the
scramble for the position. Out Of the
motley crowd of applicants Chief JUS
tice DQSter and Justice Allen, the Pop
ulist members of the supreme court,
with whom the selection rests, chose
two. 7. c. Johnson of Phillips county,
and Chase Johnson of Cowley county.
Unable to decide between the two,
whom should they think of but Annie l..
Diggs. But when it became known
that they were likely to appoint Der, q
wild protest arose from the lawyers and
others and the judges stayed their hand.
They said Annie was ignorant of law
and unfit for the position. What they
really feared was her eloguence and
fiery enthusiasm. Meanwhile the other
candidates, with straining eyes and
mouths watering are watching for the
prize.

NJ. NJ. MURDOCH. Editor
SHIELDING A MURDERER.

The gallows have been cheated again
by monkey business upon the part Of the
courts. Durrant, the California fiend,
should have paid the penalty of his
cold-b,ooded crimes yesterday. But
through the jealousieS of judges, the
chicanery of lawyers or the jugglery OF
statutes. or all combined, the long-ago
convicted seoundrel is left alive to
mouth over his hypocritical pretense OF
Innocence and the interpositi0n of Prov
idence. 1t is unnecessary TO state that
a great majority of the people of the
United States believe that something Is
wrong with the courts of California
which have had the trial of the case.
Tpon technicalities, after unquestioned
guilt had been established, the case was
forced upon the attention Of the su-
preme court of the country. But the
affirmation of that tribunal had no fur
ther effect than to impel the lawyers
and the courts of California to raise an
other bubble. Justice has been thwart-
ed and defeated in the case of this hard
ened and unnatural wretch Durrant,
whose victims were young and trusting
girls. who never could have been be-
trayed. outraged and murdered but for
the fact of the murderer's standing in
the church. His mock devotion to his
Sunday school and hypocritical anxiety
+l,a Of no
TO his spiritual guidance was the trap
into Which Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams helplessly fell. No more mno-
cent. pure and trusting girls were ever
cold -bloodedly outraged or foully MUIR
dered. That Durrant is void of con-
science of any religious conviction, is
proven by the fact Of the place chosen
by him in which TO commit his crimes.
His two double crimes of outrage and
murder were made triple crimes by add
ed desecration of consecrated walls. He
not only successfully employed his re-
lgi0us cloak as decoy and protection |
but invaded the sanctuary of the Most |
High with the foulest deeds known to /
the annals Of history.
The action of the supreme court of |
California in again staying the execu

Quebec, ,Canada, relating to the antici-
pated arrival in this country of Spanish
Ianarchists:
'Infofmation has reached this bureau
to the effect that one Planas, a leader
of the Spanish anarchists, has been ex-
PEELED srom France, being conducted to

will sill to the United States. l am
also advised that Tarrida Marmal, an
other Spanish anarchist, is believed to
have sgone to England and probably il
en- route to this country. A careful in
spectson should be made Of arriving pas
sengars in order that should any Of this
class be detected a careful examination

laws"

| tiGn that there is no law under which
persons can be excluded on the ground
they are anarchists, nor is anarchy any

klanas and Marmol are refused admis-
sion to the country the refusal must be
based entirely upon the fact that they
scome within the general immigration law

ais, etc., provided, however, that nothing
in this act shall be construed to apply to-,
or exclude persons convicted of a politi-
cal offence, notwithstanding said pOliti-
cal offence may be designated as a fele-
ny, crime, infamous crime, or misde-
meanor, involving moral turpitude, by

Plans Accepted Yesterday and Work 10
Begin September list.


When students return to Chapel Hill
at the opening of the University on Sep

ing will be going on.
The building committee-compOsed of
President Alderman, r. II. Battle, DR.
r. III. Lewis, Julian S. Carr and John

for at once.
Practically all University work will go
on in the Alumni Building. Here will
be the Offices Of the president, the bur-
sar and all other administrative officers.
All lecture work, including the physical
Laboratory. will be conducted here. There
will no longer be any recitation rooms in
the dormitories, all Of them being trans

TELLER GOES 1T ALONE.

Opposed to Any Combination OF Silver
Republicans with Mckinley Repubf-
cans.
Denver, Colo, Aug. Ex-senator Teller
arrived here today. In an interview he
expressed himself as strongly opposed to
a combination OF the silver Republicans
with Mckinley Republicans in this State
this fall. On the money question he said;
1T is the purpose, undoubtedly. Of this
administration to retire the greenbacks
and treasury notes and perfect a sys-
tenn by which the national banks will be
authorized to issue all paper money. Their
next move will be TO retire silver and
then bank notes will not be legal tender
What will be the result? The admins
tration will have succeeded in making
gold the only money by which debts can
be paid. All debts will have to be paid in
the yellow metal.
