Judge BOtkin has been introducing
another bill or two to get his name in
the papers. One of them is a bill get

Another is a special bill authorizing
the city of Hutchinson to Issue s35. 900
of bonds to the Hutchinson & Southern

for the railroads entering this city.
But it will not pass either, or if it does,
the people will not vote bonds. Days

Getting Into Danger.

II Mr Henry /. Davis, who has been
nominated for the essentially local position
ofUnited states district attorney, becomes,
as he bids fair to become, national issue,
he should bc defeated-if there are Demo
cratic votes enough in the Senate to CON
firm ardefeat anybvdy-for the reason that
lie represents characterization and rebellion.
After asserting to all the preliminary pro-
ceedings of his party associates up to the
nomination OF a Presidential candidate, Mr.
Davis should either have supported him or
changed his uniform for that of the op-
posing forces. To pretend 10 stay with his
party and yet cndeavor to betray it; to
claim tie name of Democrat and yet yilify
and coarsely abuse those who were up
holding the party's principles and sustain
ing ts candidates. admits of no excuse OF
defense Therefore, if it becomes a ques-
ton of principle or party discipline, every
Democratic vote should be cast against Mr..
Davis
The only ground on which we have sug-
gested his continuation has been that We
were not likely to do any better, as Mr.
Cleveland is clearly determined not to be
stow any faynrs on an Y one Of the 6 100000
Democrats who voted for Bryan. If we
do not accept Mr.. Davis, therefore, we are
likely to get somebody worse-and in local
sense this is to be forfended, if possible.

The Late w. z. st. John.

Although cerebral hemorrhagc is stated
to have been the proximate cause of death.
i'll the case OF William Pope St John, who
died last Sunday in New York, a broken
heart would no doubt come nearer describ-
ing the real basis of the conditions which
led to his taking off in early middle age.
There never has been case in American
history more sadly suggestive ofthe cruelty
and fanatacisIn of greed and power than
the record OF Mr.. st. Johns life and per-
secutions for conscience sake. during the
past two or three years. Although prcsi
dent OF the Mercantile National Bank in
New York city, he exercised what he pre-
sumed to be right of manhood in oppos-
ing the gold m0nometallic views of his
fellow bankers, and was quickly made TO
feel the sting OF their disapprovai. At a
national bankers convention To which he
was a delegate. he was refused the privilege
Of speech, and from that time on was
steadily and increasingly bounded by the
exponents of the gold syndicate, up to
almost the time of his death.
la 1886, Mr.. st. Johns advocacy of bi-
metallism became so open and public that
he was forced to resign the presidency
of his bank. After the Chicago conven-
tion he took the arduous and almost hope
less position of treasurer Of the Demo
cratic national committee To the cause
OF his party he devoted time, talents and
money He is said to have contributed
not less than $40 900 TO the expenses Of
the Bryan canvass, and probably that was
nearly the extent of the financial resources
at his disposal for the struggle In Janu-
airy last, Mr.. st. JOHN was deprived Of the
three bank directorships previously held
by him, and this modification marked the
beginning Of physical ailments which, in
the absence of mental worry and Inundated
pride, might easily have yielded to medi-
cation and rest, but which under the cir
cumstances proved fatal within a few

A First-Rate Selection.

Mr. F p b. Sands, who was nominated
yesterday 10y the President for the District
ConImissoucrsbip, is set down 10y some Of
the reporters as a gold man." but by
what authority does not appear. AT all

nounciug Democrats who failed TO wholly

son we are inclined TO believe that he

Another Chance for Mr.. Mckinley


We have referred already small piece
of advice to Mr.. Mckinley, entirely disin-
terestedly, but also in the faint hope that
if he were to act upon it his performances
and those of various other persons who
would be intimately concerned might add
perceptibly to the gayety of nations, We
have already urged Mr.. Mckinley to send
for Mr.. Platt, and to have him stop this
Lexow committee Investigation of the
sugar trust. If il keeps on much longer
we are fearful lest the connection OF the
sugar trust with Mark Hanna's campaign
fund OF $16,OOO,O00 will be disclosed
That, OF course, is what Mr.. Platt wants
Yet we believe, and have SO stated to Mr..
Mckinley, that Mr. Platt could easily be
prevailed upon to want something else.
Now for another word of advice, this to
thesame Mr.. Mckinley. The cPittsburg Com
merciaI Gazette was free to charge dur
for McKinley's nomination that money
considerations, which Mr.. Hanna knew all
about, induced Magee and Finn, the anti
Quay bosses of Allegheny county, to support
Mckinley. The proprietor Of the CONNER
cial Gazette testified that this information
had been received from Mr.. Richard Quay,
the Senator 5 son, and now young Quay has
been sued civilly and crimnally. Natur-
ally this angers the older Quay, for he
loves his son-as what father should not?
II is declared in Philadelphia that if Nc
Kinley and Hanna don't suppress their OBJ
streperous and vindictive friends, Magee
and Finn, the backs of Magee and Finn,
and also of Mckinley and Hanna, will be
warmed to a turn; for Mr.. Quay himself
knows thing or two, and he is said to be
in position now to make public certain
truths that would blow the Republican
administration, as well as the Pittsburg
bosses who are friendly to it, sky-high and
higher.
Let Mr. Mckinley see about this right
away, then. or if Mr.. Hanna is the one, let
him see to it himself, personally. No mat
ter how busy he is; nothing is more i'm
portant. He has called Messrs. Platt and
Quay mere political babies, and he has
done i publicly and extensively. But they

Americas Disgrace.

The government OF the United States

alleged measures Of reform offered by

ought not TO stop at this stage of the busi-
ness Being in the line of reform brok-
eraGe, il might well seize the ever pres
ent opportunity TO do a stroke or two ON
Ats own account.
These entirely respectful remarks are
suggested by the fact that passengers on
board of American vessels flying the
Stars and Stripes, are stripped and searched
in the cabins and on the decks Of such
vessels. in the Spanish ports OF Cuba,
by Spanish spies, Spanish soldiers and
police officials. This outrage was re-

and it is stated to be a matter Of com

clearly defined by Mr.. Blaine when Sec
