Lexington, Ky, Oct. 13.-The
trial of Private Kitchen of the Third
Kentucky, who killed Private Ed
ward Nygran of the Twelfth New
York. Sunday, was postponed until
Saturday because a new outrage had
stirred up such feeling that VIC
lence was feared. Sergeant A. Nc
Clelland of the Third Kentucky was
caught after midnight by party of
Twelfth New York soldiers and so
maltreated that he may bs injured
for life. This aroused more indig
nation against the New York regi

SO that the total loss was abOnt sew

OF course it does not necessarily fol-
low that the end of this boom will be
as disastrous as that, butit is very GER
tain to show some measure of it, This
country down here where cattle are
we'll cared for, will probably not expe-
rlence anything more than decline
Of prices after a time, but there Is no
reason why the country west Of here
may not undergo again much the same
experience. OF course, the winter of
1857 may never be repeated. But
when the ranges are OverstOcked, as
they probably will be if the boom con-
tinues, they will have the same trouble
with the loco. During the last few
years on rising prices there has been
big money in cattle, but that does not
argue that it will long continue. 1t is
a time to be careful in investing.

REPUBLICAN papers defend the
Kansas Pacific steal of some $1,000
900, by saying that the original loan
was made with very little expectation
of getting the money back. 1t is true
that the republican party did it, and it
is also true that that is about the way
it has been doing business of late;
but it hardly appears to be very good
or sensible defense. The fact that the
Mckinley administration accepted a
payment of S6,OOO.OOO in settlement of
a claim of $4,000, 900, when its mort
gage covered property paying good in
terest on S30,OOO,0O0, with only a mort
gage of some $7,OOO.OOO or IS, 100000
ahead of it, and bonds to which the
government claim was prior, were sell
ing above par, may be considered as
good financierlng by Reno county
republicans and in fact seems to be so,
when compared with some of that re-
Gently developed by them here.

THE present seems to be time of
turmoil. Kansas and this inland
country alone is tranquil. In far, yell
low, pig tailed China, the British lion,
the Russian bear and several other
carnivorOus animals are snarling over
how division is to be made of a few
Chinese bones and crumbs that are
lingering heritages of the ChIna-Jap
war. France is torn up internally as
by potion of crOton oil by the novel
list lola. He charged few weeks ago
publicly tina the artillery officer
Dreyfus of the French army who was
convicted of treason was the victim of
a conspiracy of high army authorities
and that the truth was suppressed by
the government. He was arrested for
lIOel and the course of the government
in the trial was such as to Justify his
charges, for contrary to the elemental
principles of Jurisprudence it gave him
no chance to prove them. The fQkle
and effervescent French are therefore
nearing the point of boiling over aud
the government is assuming dictatorial
airs. If Dreyfus were not of Jewish
the republic would really seem
in danger. But Il Jew can never be
utilized for a martyrizing purposes
among gentiles.

GOVERNOR PINGREE's record, past
and present, is we'll known Though
elected as republican on the same
ticket as Mckinley he still persists in
talking against almost everything the
president defends. Heis in tact very
good popOcrat. Yet the dispatches an
nounce that be has such a firm hold on
the hearts OF the people of Michigan
that his enemies in the party who were
striving to cast him off because of his
fight on corporations have about con-
ceeded his denomination and re.elec.
ton. This shows very plainly what che
rank and file of even republicans want
If they had leaders who would work for
it. However, what they get is as good
as they deserve when they will follow
parry bosses instead of working for
principles and issues.

rIoHrENs THE SCREWS.

TIoHTENS THE SCREWS.
The bond deal 10 progressing abou
as expected. ws. Bigger 10 insisting
on literal fulflment of his contract
Last Friday new man appeared OF
the ground and expressed belief that
he could outbid anyone in the field
But he only had certain amount Of
money to invest in bonds and as there
were two other counties he wanted tC
negotiate with quick In case he failed
here, the board was called together fol
tho purpose Of receiving his bid. But
when the board was gathered together,
Bigger and his attorneys had wedged
in pretty good sized bluff. They dis
covered that while the bonds were not
issued till after the passage of the law
making them payable in ten years,
they were voted before that time.
They therefore argued that the law
making them PAYABLE ten years after
their issue was unconstitutional. We
never before heard of a board of
county commissioners being called
upon to pass upon the cOnstitutiOnality
of a State law. But the bluff worked
to the extent that the new bidder
went away without submitting his bid
The principal consideration with MIR
Bigger which determines his opinion
as to the constitutlonality of the law, is
whether or not it is working to his ben
eft. 1t was constitutional enough for
him to have the county treasurer ad
vertise for the payment of the bonds
in accordance with its provisions and to
use on the bond holders to get them to
give up the bonds to him, which they
have done, all but some Sl7 900; but now
when the law threatens his interests
aud repeats for the benefit of the county
it is unconstitutional
We have had an expression of Opin-
ion from four of the best lawyers of the
county, some republicans, who say that
Bigger's point is not we'll taken. Not
one questioned,u it. And indeed
Bigger's attorney, when labOring with
the writer, would not point blank, give
t as his opinion that it is. He would
only say that it is question law suit
would determine, and that no one
could tell how it would be decided.
In our opinion it is only bluff that
is being worked to force a settlement
with Bigger and allow him his commits.
SIGN in accordance with the contract.
Mr.. Myers will resist any such opera
ton. Miskimen bows whenever Big
ger lifts his finger. The balance of
power is with Mr.. RHtlege who is con-
Stantly halting between two opinions,
and is an unknown quantity.
However, Mr. Rutlege has written
to the school fund commissioners ask.
ing bid on the bonds, which is a hope
full sign.
Judge Martin, as attorney for Big
ger as we suppose, made a proposition
TO the city council to refund an issue
jf S25, 900 of city bonds bearing six per
cent interest issued under exactly like
at Eve and One-half per
cent, but the city council does not
seem to take to it. The question was
referred to the finance committee. 1t
was suggested to Mr. HOlIowell of that
that they advertise in some
eastern financial jOurnal for bids on
these bonds, and be declared
hat he would bring that matter up in
the next meeting of the council.

possibilities for it. Everything seems
to point to Spanish plot as the cause

ficult to understand how war can be
averted. However, diplomacy is all
