THE NEW WAY.

IFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch Rep)1
The Republican ticket for 1900 is set
tied. Agreements between Senator
Plat, Senator Hanna, Postmaster Gen
eral Smith and directors of public affairs
have decided that it shall be Mckinley
and Hobart, and the holding of the con-
vention will be simply to record this
decision. This is the tenor of an ap-
parently authorized dispatch in our
news columns.
Although it is a good while in advance
of the date we have no hesitation in
saying that, unless there are sensational
upheavals, the statement is correct, so
far the Republican organization is
concerned. The pivotal state machines
are SO we'll under control that such an
agreement can be made and carried out
AS to the result of such an agreement
in the subsequent election, that is, as
Kiping says, another story, which can
not be predicted so far ahead. 1t is
hoped that the ''embalmed BEEF scan
dai will blow over; but some other
things like the trust issue may in the
intervening eighteen months blow into
the political arena.
Though the announcement is probably
true, it still has a peculiar ring The
time was when the Republican national
conventions were supposed to make the
nominations; but now it appears to be a
matter of agreement between Senators
Hanna, Plat and a few others, more
than a year in advance of the conven-

protruding out of the window and the
hail and rain were beating on them.

According to the Standard Oil COM

the attorney general of Ohio a barrel
of refined oil costs that concern just 20
cents, or 2-5 of a cent a gallon. In that
cost is included raw material, treat

an outrageous profit by charging the

FIGHT OVER PRINTING.
Ford County Newspaper Quarrel
Reaches the Supreme Court

In January, 1898, the commissioners of
Ford county made a years contract with
n. B. Klaine, editor of the Globe-Repub-
lcan, in which his paper was designated
the official county paper.
In June, 1898, the supreme court held
that inmates of the State Soldiers home
al Dodge City had no right to vote at
elections in that county and Mic Mayrath,
a Republican member of the board of
commissioners, was unSeated j. w. Harsh
barger being given the place. This gave
the Populists majority of the board Of
commissioners. The contract with Klaine
was abrogated. and the Leader, published
by ]. E. Lucas, given the county print
ing.
Editor K1aine secured in the district
court peremptory writ of mandamus to
require the commissioners to give him the
printing This order was made last DC
tober and covered the period defined in
Klaine's contract. From the decision of
the district court Mr.. Lucas now appeals

in earnest the companies Cancelled every
policy in the state.
OF course. the present predicament
of Arkansas is awkward, but if its leg
islature enacted in good faith the law
that was so obnoxious to the companies,
it deserves credit for it's courage and it's
resolution. 1t has indicated a prin-
ciple that ought to prevail in every leg
islative body in this Countrywide prin-
cipie that no com ination of corpora
tions shall be allowed to dictate to
commonwealth what laws shall or shall
not be enacted.
1t is a heroic remedy against cor
porate aggression, but Arkansas need
have no fear. Though temporarily ex-
posed to the ravages of the fire fiend,
she will not always be. Let her citizens
be careful with their matches and pro-
family, and in course of time the COM
panies that deserted will come back on
Arkansas terms, or others will find it
profitable to organize in the free field
for business which the state now offers.

BURGLAR SHOOTS HIS PAL
In an Effort to Kill a Policeman in
New York.

New York, April 20.-In trying to
shoot a policeman early today, a burg
lar shot his partner in the neck, int1ict-
ing a wound that is likely to prove IA
tai. The wounded man is Charles
Thorn, "a years of age, who lived with
his parents, respectable people, in a
tenement over the store while he and
the other burglars were trying to rob,
when discovered by policeman. The
man who did the shooting escaped and
Thorn processes not to know who he is.
Policeman Forster detected the burg
lars at work with augur and saw in the
hallway of the tenement trying to cut
their way into z. M. Berger's cigar and
tobacco store. AS the policeman enter
ed the hall one of the burglars ran to
the rear OF the hall. The officer Crap
pied with the other, who called to his
companion, Charley" to help him
Charley returned and while the
officer and Thorn were struggling, fired
two shots at the policeman, missing him
but striking Thorn with one of the bull
let's, which passed completely through
the neck, lodging under the skin on the
right side. Thorn did not give up the
fight, however, until the policeman
choked him into submission and mean
time the other burglar escaped.
Thorn denied that he was engaged in
a burglary, but alleged that he had
started up stairs to his fathers tene-
ment, when he was seized by the po-
liceman, whom in the darkness he did
not recognize as an officer. He fought
and was shot but by whom, he says he
does not know. Thom's father says the
young man is a bad egg"

CHANCELLOR MISTAKEN.
University Pedagogical Course Not
What He Thought

Chancellor F. H. Snow made slight
mistake in Topeka two weeks ago,which
causes the state board of education to
meet in special session. The meeting
was to have been held today but was
postponed until Monday.
At it's last meeting the board adopted
a resolution, under the requirements of
a new law, fixing the course in the State
university as the standard in pedagogy
with which other institutions in the
state must conform before being entitled
to the privileges afforded by the new
law. Mr.. Snow informed the board that
the students in this department were
required to teach one hour each day for
twenty weeks and upon this statement
adopted a resolution stipulating that
this practical work should be a part of
the standard. When the chancellor re-
turned to Lawrence he found that no
teaching is required and the board will
meet Monday and adopt a new resolu-
ton from which the requirements con-
corning actual practice in teaching will
be eliminated.

various fictitious addresses at different
points, and, upon its arrival break into

of George r. BrindIe, giving him a note
