The Newspaper Man.

The following bit of poetry by Mr.. j.
S. Jennings, of Wichita, is sleek enough
to worm down the threat Of the news
paper boy without assistance, says the
Pointers. It has the right kind of jim
gle and catches the political mind to
perfection. Mr.. Jennings is one Of the
oldest newspaper men in Kansas and is
a devoted writer upon silver topics,
having, it is SD, conceived the right
idea of revolution in our financial af-
fairs long before Harvey and others
were born, issuing.a book upon the SUBJ
ject several years ago.
What is your politics? What is your creed?
Making q paper for others to read,
Writing an article on which they canre'y:
Catching the news as it passes By
Sitting the gossip sitting the scandal,
Proving the innocent, judging the vandai,
This is the work of the newspaper man,
Criticised and censured from Beersheba to
Dan.
What is your religion? Your faith when
confessed?
Making platform for others to test,
Answering questions others have pat,
Keeping humanity out of the rut,
Approving the good, censuring the evil,
I Fra sing the Godlike, rebuking the devil.
This Is the work of the man of the news.
rersecuted and cursed worse than the Jews,
What is your object? " hat is your aim?
Screening avagrant; that others may blame
Keeping the secrets, telling the truth,
Protecting the aged, defending the youth
Raising TIE iowly, praising the grand,
Sitting the jewels out of the sand,
THIS is the work of the newspaper mar,
Criticised and censurea from Adam CD tc

If War Should Come.

Tho Mexican Herald devotes sts at
tdir.tllo3a 81 oba9ers alton recently made
IN au English newspaper to the effect
that "the Americasia cd,sla not sustain
long war because they lacked the
thrifty hap.ts, of the French, and be-
cause the people Of the Unlreo 2tates
could offer to its government no sucb
accommodation Of savings as the French
peasantry possess The Herald un-
dertakes to answer this absurd assump~
ton by calling attention to the fact
that the deposits in the savings banks
of the United States reach the enor-
nous total of $1,785,000000, and also
quotes MuIhall's testimony that this is
the richest nation in the world. The
aerald's answer conclusively demon
strates that the people Of the Upited
States are thrifty, but it seems as inca
pa ble as the English journal from which
it quotes of appreciating the fact that
great wars al e not ~waged with money
derived from accumulated savings.
The expenditures during our civil war
we're frightfully large, but the money
to meet them was either made. by the
government or obtained by discountlng
the future. There are wise men who
insist that a resort to che latter was
serious mistake, as every dollar bor-
rowed cost five or six before it Was re-
paid. But this is neither here nor there,
A country the value of whose products
is counted by billions yearly can never
lack the sinews Of war. Tie United
States can feed all the armies it could
ever put af1oat, and can build all the
ships and provide all the guns without
going outside Of It's own borders. Our
English critics would do we'll to bear
his in mind, and also the fact that
Great Britain is not independently but
night be starved out, although the ma
ion is at present the financial mistress
If the world.

In tie IsepuOlinee.... u the same date
is another loag Tiuded article, which
would lead the average reader to be-
lieve that the same counties, were Or
had refused to make these levys.
AS far as Navajo county isconcerned
both of the articles mentioned are the
rankeat kind Of rot,
IN the first place, IL the editors of
the above named papers will refer to
par. 1928 (sec. p Of the Revised Statutes
Of Arizona for 1857. and read that par
agraph, they viii both learn that The
tax levys of Arizona are made on the
fourth Mdaaa5 of August of each year
and thar if the Attorney Genetdf cf1he
Territory is now about TO institute a
suit to compel something to be done
before the laws Of Arizona require it
TO be done (Which knowing Col. vii
son. we doubt) it seems rather prema-
ture.
In the second place Navajo county
and its Board Of Supervisors, have never
questioned the right or legality of SAID
taxes, or intimated that the levy would
not be regularly and duly made when
the time came for such levy.
Navajo, though the baby county Of
the territory, only had delinquency
of the 1896 taxes of about $50, out Of
$685. 90, and is always ready and willing
to stand her share of the territ orial ex-
penses.

The Railway Question,

.SeHetor Foraker introduced in the
X'stierat Senate on the 30tn Of Match a
bill which deals with Il question Of vast
and immeasureabie Importance TO the
comm ,nruiat Interests and the develop
ment Of the country. The prop5Bed
legislation is, in brief, an act authoriz-
ing railways, under certain specified
conditions, to form pools Or mutual
agffESss5ni FOR tre reputation a1d son-
duct Of their buslLiess ~ 1o.a f-lclf ',2y-
riers. Under tae recent decision OF
the Supreme Court, IN the now wei
known case OF the Trans-M!ssv,sri
Freight Association, all such agree
ments between railways are declared to
be in restraint of trade, and, therefore,
being in contrayention of the terms CT
the Sherman antitrust law, illegal.
This Supreme Court decision is with
out question the most momentous aud
far-reaching in its effects of any which
have been handed down by that tribu-
nal for many years, and its effects upon
railways was INSTANTANEOUS; and i'll
many respects &c laDltous. i is to
remedy the present unfortunate situa-
ton, while still preserving the indubit-
able rights of the general public, that
Senator Foraker has introduced his
bin.
In general terms, it amends the In
ter-Stste Commerce Act so as. to render
it lawful for railways to enter into pools
Oh condition that those mutual CON
tracts between the roads shall be filed
with commission created by the bill,
when. the said agreements shall become
lawful in twenty days, provided the
commission for good ana sufficient rea-
sons laid down III the act, shall not dis
approve them. The commission shall
also observe the effect of the pools and
disapprove of them whenever, III its
opinion, they result IN unreasonable
rates, unjust Discrimination o.. insufd-
cient service. In such cases the com
mission shall require such changes in
the agreements as will eliminate the
Objectionable features. The findings
of the commission are to be subject TO
review by the Supreme Court.
The bill also provides that all rates
under such pools shall be publicly
posted, and shall not be advanced with
out ten days notice. It further speci-
ees that railway or its agent that de-
viates from the established rates, or
shipper who receives rates not specified
in the pool, shall be liable to fne of |

WILLIAM STEEL HOLMAN,

His Reward.

"The Watchdog of the Treasury Passes to
His Reward.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Representa-
tive Holman, of Indiana, died at his
home here at 2:O5 p. m.- after an illness
of some weeks. Spinal meningitis was
the cause.
William Steele Holman w0Ild have passed
the three-Q uaTter century mark had he lived UNI
til next September, and his career is remarka-
BILE for the large proportion of his life that was
given up to the service of the public. No l1V-
ing man, and few men dead, have q record as
he had of 16 terms in the house OF representa-
tives, and in all 81 years of his lis were spent
in some public capacity, beginning with judi
cial position in his native state. and winding up
in the house of representatives which he first
emf tered in the Thirty-fourth congress.
Mr.. Holman was a great force in political at
fairs for many years azSd even Of late=when ad-
vancing age made it harder for him tsmeet the
more severe demands OF his place, de- an
honOred and respected counsellor in the demo
cratic party caucuSeS, where his ripe wisdom
and long political experience was freely availe6
of in shaping party policies. AS the watch
dog of the treasury he was known to TIE Amer
lean people. and the policy of strict economy
that he consistently pursued when in caRrge OF
the appropriation bills has been followed SC
long that it has come to be regarded as one Of
the party tenets in all congresses.
Mr. Holman was born in Indiana, in thGcoun-
try, at little pioneer homestead in Dearborn
county, called Verestau, in September, 1s32-
AS he wrote his autobiography for the con-
gresSional directory it is recorded that he had
O common school education, supplemented By a
two years course in Franklin college, Indiana
Then he taught school and practiced law until
1S43 when ct the age of 81 years he en-
tered the public service probate judge.
He was prosecuting attorney from 1917 to l849,
and in 1850 he attended the constitutional con-
vention. The following year he entered the
legislature. and from 1882 to 1856 he judge Of

His congressional career began with the
Thirty-Sixth congress- and out of the twenty
congresses that have elapsed since that time he
has been absent from only four, namely the
the thirty-eighth. forty-ffth forty-Sixth and
ffty-fourth an almost unparalleled record.
Personally, Mr. Holman was of a most genial
and approaehable disposition He was entirely
willing to listen to any person who called for
lys assistance. and although often obliged by
ais sense Of duty to resist the opportunities of
his colleagues in favor of some measure of
vital interest he always did so ir such an i'm
personal manner as to take away largely the
sting of his refusal In fact it was one of the
strong points of Mr.. Holman that in his long
congressional career he refrained entirely from
personalities, and consequently he had few per-

THE BLUE CUT HoLDuP.

Interesting Developments in the Trial of
John kennedy-The Prisoner Betrayed
by = Woman-A Female Relative OF thS
James Boys on the Side of Lava Strong
Case Against Kennedy, Who is Defiant.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 23.-Inter-
est in the trial of John Kennedy, the
reputed leader in the recent Blue Cut
train robberies, was quickened yester-
day by the appearance in the proceed
ings of a relative of the notorious
James brothers. Following the testl-
mony of James Flynn, the Cracker
Neck farmer, who confesses to COM
plicity in the robberies, and who went
on the witness stand and told every
detail of the two holdups which, he in
sists, were committed by Kennedy,
two men whom he does not know and
has never seen since, and himself.
Miss Maggie Ralston was called to
about thirty years of age, tall and
gOod-looking. She comes from the
Cracker-Neck district and is sister
in-law of Frank James.
Miss Ralston is said to have been
favorite in the eyes of the accused
robber. She testified that a few days
after the last robbery Kennedy told
her that he had So, 900. The express
company has claimed all along that
but 81, 500 was secured by the robbers,
but there have been persistent rumors
that the robbers secured a large
amount. Miss Ralston testified that
Kennedy had been a frequent visitor
at her home. The last robbery was
committed on Christmas Eve. The
day after Christmas, Miss Ralston said,
she met Kennedy in Independence,
Mo-, and one of the first things he said
was:
I'VE got 'em again"
Miss Ralston then asked:
'You did get something, this time,
then?" and Kennedy answered Yes"
Kennedy then got into the young
woman's carriage and rode with her.
During their ride he described the rob-
berry infinitely, but he did not state di-
rectly that he participated in the adj
venture, though he did tell her that
the robber chief bore strong resem-
blance to him, and that he might be
arrested for the crime.
On the Sunday following this con-
versation Kennedy visited the Ralston
house, and it was then that he told
Miss Ralston that he had S32, 900,
though he stated that he had won it
gambling.
During this testimony Kennedy's at
titude was defiant, and he frequently
declared that the witness lied.
