soul on board except himself
was drowned. He was found
insensible on a coral reef by
a party OF cannibal islanders

he was reserved to be served
ut a state dinner.
The daughter of the King,

About this time d formida-

Judge NORWOOD nelu court
at Monroe last week and
seems to have made a good
impression. as he Ia capable
of doing when he is "clothed
and in his right mind" The
Monroe bar, however, seems
to have thought it such an
unusual. thing for a Judge to
hold court decently and in or
der for q week that it slop-
ped over. 1t (the barr held a
meeting "an1 resolutions en-
doring the Judge as fair, able
and impartial, were unani-
mously adopted"
1t seems to US there IS a dis
position to make a hero of
Judge Norwood, and we feel
impelled to refer tc 1t for the
reason that the example thus
set cannot have otherwise
than a bad influence. The
public IS ia miliar with Judge
NOrwOOd's conduct on t b e
bench on numerous occasions
during the past two years.
He disgraced the State and
the judiciary, and so bad did
his conduct become that a
member of his own party in
troduced a resolution in the
Legislature TO impeach him.
That he deserved jmpeach.
ment We don't think any one
will deny. But through the
opportunities Of Judge Nor
wood and his friends the i'm
parchment resolutions were
held up and he was given an
other trial. He didn't de-
serve it, but he got it and no
one hopes more sincerely than
does this writer tlat he will
not again tall.
The matter should 3 t o p
there but 1t has not. Vari-
Gus persons and newspapers
have shown a disposition to
slobber over Judge Norwood
and laud hin to the skies.
and now comes the Monroe
bar and whereases and re.
solves simply because t h e
Judge did his duty. The ten
dency of all this is to minim
ize Judge NOrwood's offence
and make it appear that his
get ttlng drunk on the bench
Was a very small matter al.
ter all. 1t has a tendency to
cause the public to look with
too much leniency on such
conduct az Judge Norwood
was guilty Of, and, worst OF
all, it causes young men to
think that If drunkenness in
q public official is 80 lightly
regarded it doesn't amount
TO much and therefore a lit
tie indulgence is not a grave
matter.
Let Judge Norwood alone,
Let him reform if he can and
uphold his hands in his ef.
forts, but don't try to make

The problem upon which
the Republicans have b e e II
working. since it became ap.
parent that the PopIlists
would not 20 along wit h
them, has been to fix up "a
scheme that would give them
a apsolute control Of the alec-
ton machinery, Under the
present election law. the chair
man of each party names all
the pollholders of the State.
If, as has happened in t h e
past, the Popullst chairman
worked in harmony with the
Republicans. the arrange
ment was very satisfactory
to the Republicans. But, as
there is some fear on t h e i r
part that the Popullsts will
not be in harmony with them
m 1898, they have hit upon
Il scheme to eliminate the reg
ular PopulisJ organization,
and appoint the Popuiist poll
holders themselves so 40 to
give them control Of the ma
chinery, 1t is proposed t o
have three "supervisors of e.
lections,' one Republican, one
Democrat, one Republican,
who claims himselfa Il Populist
solely because he can serve
the Republican party better
by posing as Il Populist than
by coming out straight as a
Republican.
Senator McCaskey is slated
for the position ofsupervisor
on behalf of the Populists.
He wants to depose WIN. E.
Fountain. who succeeds Hal
Aver as Populist chairman.
an 1 is quoted as saying:
"Fountain is really no
chairman. Our party law ex
pressly stipulates that t h e
[chairman must be elected. He
was not elected by a MAORI
ty of the State executive com
mittee. He was not elected
by Il majority OF the commit
tee"
The programme lie for the
boiling Populists to name a
proxy who shall act as guar
dams of fair elections, we find
the supervisor.
Under the talk of being the
special Republicans and bolt
ing popuIists concocting a
scheme that will make t h {
elections whatever the two oI
ficers thew appoint say they
shall be-. 1t is as deliberate
a scheme to make fraud a {

Two Kansas farmers, John

fences and found that they
could talk to each other with

that the system will become
