THE KANGAMOO ACr-

Robert G. Houston, editor Of the
Sussex Republican. is apparently
lawyer who likes to plead his cause in
the columns Of a. newspaper. He was
associated with two other lawyers IN
prosecuting the claim OF DR.. Hiram X.
Burton for a seal In the State Senate.
If he made no be tier argument before
the Senate Committee on Elections than
be does in his newspaper we do not
wonder that the report Of the commit.
tee was adverse TO his client. The
Sussex Republican says that we made
a harsh and uncalled for attack on
Dr. Burton. We did nothing Of the
kind. Our editorial references have
been as mild as they could possibly be
made under the circumstances. We
simply showed the abSurdlty of the
doctors contention for the seat hello
by Franklin c. Maui, Of the Fifth dis
trlct of SUSSEX county. Our declara-
tion that his failure to prosecute HE
contest before the Superior Court was
a fatal feature in his contest was
shared by the Regular Republican
and Union Republican members of the
State Senate. Their disposition was to
let the whole thing 60 by default, and
IL was only to salve the tender sensi-
HAties Of the claimant that they con-
sented to have and to vote upon a mi
nority report 1t was a political game
OF tag for DR.. BuT'U1n's benefit ana
pleasure. The editor of the Sussex
Republican says; TN fact If he had
prosecuted the dase in court, and had
been defcated, he would have had a
perfect right to carry it up to the Sen
ate and that body would have been
compelled to hear and consider his Pc
mtlon" Yes, there's the rub. But Dr
Burton ignored the Superior Court He
may endeavor to blame the slight on
his lawyers. but they represented him
and he was bound by their action.
When DR.. Burton dropped his contest
in the Superior Court to save Repre-
sentative Hazard he forfeited all
claim to the seat in the State Senate;
and not only that, but he was a party
TO gross injustice to Representative
Hazards Democratic opponent. Had
Dr. Burton prosecuted his contest be.
fore the Superior Court with honesty
and sincerity. and had q decided
against him. he would have been len
In a position to carry his case to The
State Senate for final settlement. Bul
he failed In this. BY abandoning
his case in the Superior Court he per.
mitted Mr.. Mauil TO secure from THAI
Impartial body a certificate Of election
attached to which there was no odlum
After placing his Democratic opponent
IN that impregnable position he made
an attack which was foredoomed tc
defeat, and he knew it before he made
h
1t would have been bad precedent
TO establish to permit de-
feated candidate 10 jump over
the heads Of the judges oi
the Superior Court sitting to hear and
determine election contee,s. Wer,
such a thing to be. we should have
every defeated man on the Legislative
ticket doing the kangaroo act which
has Just been attempted by DR.. Bur
ton.

There is no valid reason why the
lawyers OF the three counties SHOULD
not organize themselves into state
bar association. While the area OF
Delaware is small and the members
Of the bars Of the three counties are
more or less intimately acquainted
by c,oseness OF touch, the benefits
which the members OF the profession
lin other and larger cities derive from
a state association must necessarily
FOLLOW to a degree, such an organiza.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 1.-THE

up the principal street and took refuge
In the basement of the hotel, which
was completely wrecked together with
every other business house in the city.
Mr.. Carroll further says that fire fol-
lowed the cyclone and what was left
is being consumed by fire. Many peo-
pie are dou btless killed and the damage
will run into hundreds of thousands Of
dollars
Relief is being sent to the scene OF
the disaster as rapidly as possible, but
owing to the fact that the railroad
track is washed out in many places
succor is arriving slowly. Many have
driven overland and everything posi-
BILE is being done for the sufferers.

Manila, June 1.-THE funeral of
Captain Henry Nichols, the command
er OF the United States double-turreted
monitor Monadnock, who died from
sunstroke on Saturday, took place at
cavite Monday, with appropriate naval
ceremonies. The officers of the fleet
were present and the flags on all the
vessels were half-masted.
The sudden death of Captain Nichols
WAS particularly sad because it occurred
just at the moment when the result
for which he had hoped and worked
for months WAS about to be realized,
the capture Of PAranaque and
its occupation by the American forces.

INDIANS ARE STARVING.
In Ono Small village Thirty Persons Die
of Hunger.

Victoria, B. c., June 13-The In
dams living in the neighborhood of
the upper waters Of the Stewart river
are in a most deplorable condition A
terrible famine prevails in that dis
trict. and the unfortunate natives have
already been decimatcd for lack of
food. Conditions have been growing
rapidly worse in this respect. and three
miners who have just returned FROM
that country say that the pitiful scenes
enacted among the starving Indians
beggar description. They are now al
most entirely without food OF any kind
and are literally perishing in great
numbers.
So hopeless is the situation tha6 =,
single, small Indian village no less
than thirty persons died from hunger
just previous to the departure of the
prospectors for this port.
The miners also tell shocking story
of the killing of an indian girl by a
medicine man at the instance of the
chief of the tribe to which the unfor-
tunate maiden belonged. According
to the story the maiden was made thS
victim of savage ceremony directed
by the medicine man, under the orders
of the chief. Her barbarous death was
for the purpose of propitating the
Great Spirit who had sent the famine,
by the offering up of living human
sacrifice.

A KENTUCKY FEUD.
Mrs. Baker Declares She VIII Teach Her
Sons 10 KIN White or Howard

Barboursville, KY, June 1.-THE
troops with Jim and Wiley Baker ar
rived here from Manchester, delivering
the prisoners TO the county jailer and
going into camp in the courthouse.
Mrs. Baker says she win train her
eleved sons that the height of their
ambition will be to kill White or a
Howard. Jim and Wiley are quiet and
refuse to talk. Many persons advocate
withdrawing the troops. allowing the
men to fight it out, saying this action
on the part OF Governor Knott stopped
the Rowan county feud and the Pulaski
county feud. The killing Of Tom
Baker will doubtless increase the Clay
county feud.
Notwithstanding the captivity of his
three brothers and son, there are nu-
murous friends of the dead leader left
and scores OF their people who have
heretofore not expressed themselves,
and they now declare the killing of
Tom Baker an outrage and say the
bakers should shoulder their rifles and
never surrender alive.

stores,

Austin, Tex, June 10.-The cloud
burst of Thursday which swelled the
rivers of this portion of the state out
of their banks and caused great loss
of property, was much worse than at
first reported. Many people are re-
ported to have persisted, meager re-
ports placing the number at twenty
five.
Reports come from San Suba and
Manardville, small towns ninety miles
north of here in the mountains, saying
that both towns had been swept by the
raging floods, and were badly de-
vastated. In San Suba eight people
were drowned, and the entire town is
reported under water. The river at
that point is one mile wide and run
ming like a millrace.
At Manardville thirteen houses were
swept away, and this morning several
more gave in to the swirling torrent
and started on their voyage down the
stream.
