That was fearful speech that ex-
Gov. ALLEGED made on Saturday night.
1t put in material form suspicion
which has been entertained by many
good people ever since the election.
That Mr.. Hanna should say in advance
that he would carry fifteen states, and
that in five or six of them the returns
should indicate more voters than there
were in the state, is circumstance
which cannot very well be gotten over
When Alleged directly charges that in
the state of Ohio there were nearly
100000 more votes counted than in
1892; that in many of the states which
went for Mckinley there were more
votes counted than there were male in
habitants over twenty one years of age;
and when behind all that is the fact
that there was an expenditure Of mon
ey on the part Of Mr.. Hanna and his
lieutenants unprecedented in any pre-
vious election, we begin to see why
even some of the strong gold press of
the East are apprehensive of defeat
four years hence. 1t seems the men
who were so sensitive about the honor
of the country last summer; who at in
tervals declared that the election of
one of the candidates meant repudia-
ton, revolution and anarchy, after all
were willing to accept the result Of the
election without investigation, and to
claim that the majority was really so
overwhelming that it ought to settle
the question. If now it is true that
that majority was secured by a fraud:

A statistical record of the number OF
lynchings have been compiled by the
Chicago Tribune, which sums up the
awful total of 131 for the year 1896. As
matter of course the greater number
of these were in the Southern States
Out of the entire number only nine
can be credited to states in the north
and west. There were four lynchings
in Colorado, one in illinois, one in In
diana, two in Minnesota and one in
New York. Oklahoma had six and the
Indian Territory four. The remaining
III were entirely within the states that
are distinctively known as southern.
Louisiana leads them all with %, Ala
bama comes next with 10, Tennessee
follows with II and Florida comes after
with ten. kentucky and Georgia had
nine each, Texas seven, Mississippi six
and Missouri five. Lrkansas and
South Carolina each had four, while
Maryland had two and North Carolina

Lynch law is an abhorent blot upon
nineteenth century civilization, and an
intelligent press is making vigorous
onslaughts upon it in all parts Of the
country. The way to render resort
to this kind of punishment wholly
without excuse is to give the people
confidence in the full and perfect carry
ing out of the ends of justice. Every
murderer who is permitted to escape
the full penalty of his crime, through
the technicalities of the law, consti-
tutes a standing argument in favor of
those who advocate the court of Judge
Lynch. The impartial, vigorous, eff
fective and speedy execution of the
law in criminal cases would quickly
stamp out lynching in all parts of the
United States. So long as convicted
murderers are permitted to escape the
hangman's rope the outraged sense of
human justice will find expression in
swift re cource TO lynch law.

1 daho's New Senator.

The Idaho Statesman of January 90,
gives the following autobiography of
Henry Heitfeld, Idaho's newly elected
U. S. Senator
Henry Heitfeld, by the grace of Ju-
piter, United States senator-elect from
Idaho was born in st. Louis, Mo-, in
January 1859. His father, Henry
Heitfeld, was of German birth. The
father died in 1867. The future Idaho
senator attended the common schools
of the city of his nativity until 1870
when, with his mother, he moved to
Seneca, Kan. There his mother re-
married. Young Henry lived at SEN
eca until 1882, being employed at farm
work and learning the trade of stone
mason. In 1882 Mr.. Heitfeld moved
into the northwest, locating at Pome-
roy, Wash, where he remained one
year. While there he took up two
claims in the Big Bend country, one a
homestead and the other timber cul-
ture. While holding the land he
worked in the shops of the Northern
Pacific railroad at Sprague, continuing
in that employment until the fall of
1888, when he became resident of
Idaho.
The man upon whom the senatorial
toga was destined to fall settled in Nez
Perce county, short distance from
the Washington line, his postoffice
being Uniontown, Wash.
There he has since been engaged as a
farmer, fruit grower and cattleman.
He has $40 acres of land and has been
conspiciously successful in his opera
tons.
Mr.. Heitfeld is married and has five
children. He enjoys the confidence
and esteem of his neighbors and is re-
garded by all who know him as a thor
ough business man and a model citi-
zen.
In politics Mr. Hcitfeld was demo-
crat until he joined the populist party.
He is member of the Farmers ALI
ance and it was through his connection
with that organization that he was in
fiuenced to ally himself with the popu-
list party. 1t was on the day of Cleve-
lands nomination in 1892 that he re-
nounced his democracy and entered
the ranks of the new party. AS dem
ocrat he was active in politics but he
never held any office until he was chos-
en- in 1894 to represent Nez Perez and
Latah counties in the state senate. He
served as state senator through the
Third session, impressing those coming
tentioned member who tried to do
what he believed to be right.
His record was such as might be ex-
pected of good business man who de-
sired to serve his constituents faith
fully but there was no feature of it at
tracing special attention to him.
When seen after his election to the
United States senate, Mr.. Heitfeld was |
confined to his room, being much in
disposed. He frankly stated that the
result was great surprise to him as he |
had never entertained such thought |
until three days ago, and he then re-
garded it as a bugaboo.
The new senator is a magnificent
specimen of physical development. lie

$4,000 IN BONDS MISSING.

Were Issued by Wlchita County to Rau-
roads Which Never Received Them.
Topeka, Kan, June 15.-What has
become Of $1,000 Of Wichita county
bonds is q question that is now agitat-
ing the mind Of Att0rney-General
Boyle. The records show that the
amount Of bonds stated above never
went to the place for which they were
issued, and an investigation will be
made at once which may result in
prosecution. In 1879 Wichita county
voted S74,O 900 in bonds to aid in the
construction of the Santa Fe & Mis-
souri, Pacific railroads through that
county.
Later the bonds were refunded.
Some time ago the Santa Fe decided to
tear up its track and suit was com
menced to prevent it because the
county had given it bonds. A cOmpro-
mise was made a few days age and the
company will now tear up its tracks.
In Strengthening up matters yesterday,
Attorney General Boyle discovered that
$4,000 Of the bonds could not be ac-
counted for. He held a conference with
General-Attorney A. A. Hurd, Of the
Santa Fe and the two went over the
bond accounts of the two roads care
fully. They found that the roads had
been cheated out of $4,000 in bonds;
that instead of getting S74, 900 they got
only $50, 900. The remainder went
somewhere else, and the attorney-gen-
eral intends to institute an investiga-
ton for the purpose Of finding out. He
suspects that some of the former of.
ficials of Wichita county know some=
thing about the matter.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 15.-The legis-
lative committee appointed last winter
by Gov. Leedy to investigate freight
rate conditions from Kansas to the
Gulf of Mexico will make its report to-
day to the governor, and the report
substantially will be as follows:
1t will recite the injustice in present
freight rates south; the excessive in
jury to Kansas shippers thereby, and
the fact that there must be some alleyi-
alton of this injustice before autumn
in order that farmers may have the adj
vantage of just rates, if it may be &C
complished. -Four courses will be sug-
gested in the coming report whereby
relief that is sought may, it is hoped,
be obtained The courses are to be
taken up singly and in the order named
as follows:

between the railroads and the state railroad
commission to be secured, If possible, merely
by an appeal aud a statement Of the facts to the
corporations
