A rather unusual result followed
the canvass of A. C. Bangs for repub-

of Sc to 10, instructed Bangs to vote

the time.

THERE IS NO ESCAPE.
Governors Doing All In
Their Power to COndOne
Murder.

It is no mere conjecture that ex-
Gov. Taylor, indicted as accessory to
the murder of Gov. Goebel and chosen
delegate to the Philadelphia conven-
ton, has an understanding with Gov.
Stone of Pennsylvania. 1t is no mere
inference from the fact that Gov.
Mount has given him protection in In
diana.
= Taylor's friends who are in posi-
ton to know, and who see no reason
why they should make any secret of
their knowledge, declare that assur-
ances have been given that no requisi-
ton for him will be honored while he
is in Pennsylvania.
This admission warrants the as
sumption that like assurances have
been received from the republican gov
ernor of Ohio, since it obviously would
be unsafe for Taylor to attempt to
pass through Ohio if there was reason
to think Gov. Nash would honor a
Kentucky requisition.
When the republican governors OF
three states join in sheltering Taylor
the only states where there are repub-
lican governors in which he haSh oc-
casion to seek shelter-there is no room
to doubt thst all republican governors
would be equally hospitable
And when Taylor is received as an
honored member of the republican ma
tional convention the attitude of the
republican party toward the political
assassination issue as it is represented
in Kentucky cannot be involved in
much doubt.
Why should the republican govern
ors of various states refuse to honor
a requisition from the governor of
Kentucky for this particular fugitive?
Is it because they believe the accused
will be denied justice in Kentucky?
They have no right to assume any
such thing. It is not political party
which demands the surrender of Tay-
lor. It rs the state of Kentucky. Tay-
He is wanted to stand trial before a
court and jury.
1t is idle to pretend that he cannot
get fair trial before an impartial
jury in state where he was once
elected governor and where he claims
to have been elected second time.
Rational people will refuse to believe
any such thing.
But if there is no reason to doubt
that the accused would be fairly tried
there is no possible excuse for not
surrendering him, unless it is the ex-
cuse that political assassination is
justifable and la1dable if it is in the
interest of particular party.
When republican governors refuse to
give up Taylor, when the representa-
tives of the republican party in ma
tional convention receive him with
open arms. they indorse political as
sassination in a practical way that
speaks louder than any platform de-
liverance. They make political assas-
sniation an issue. They do so deliber.
ately, and they leave for themselves no
door of escape.-Chicago Chronicle

Having the poison of imperia

Having the poison of imperial
ism in its veins, the administration
may be willing to go to any extreme
to satisfy its lust for territorial ag-
grandizement. Republican organs are
now at some pains to explain that
the functions of the United States
in the Chinese complications are sim
ply those of a ''peacemaker," and that
its efforts will be limited to keeping
the rival European powers from fly
ing at each others threats. Perhaps
peace can be made only by PARTITION
ing the empire among the land grab
bers, and in that event it is not un-
likely the administration might claim
compensation in territory for acting

The Kansans were. at the Baltimore
hotel annex, just south of the hotel,
on Baltimore avenue. They had
large storeroom divided into gold
room in front and silver room in
the rear by partition of portieres
of GORGEOUS gold and bright colored
bunting and tapestry, surmounted in
the center of the arch by mammoth
gold eagle measuring about eight feet
from tip to tip of it's wings. The
walls were covered with tapestry
caught up at intervals with paper
sunfowers. The walls had border
of tapestry edged with a fringe of
gold braid six inches deep. A mann
moth sunf1ower appeared as vefi-
table sunburst from the center of the
centerpiece on the ceiling and served
to hold the ends of gracefully draped
folds of bunting radiating to all cor
ners and sides of the room. Gold
predominated in the front portion of
the headquarters, while silver pre-
vailed in the general decorative
scheme of the rear room which was
gorgeously trimmed.

The Golden Wheat Belt of Kansas.

The great wheat region of Kansas
is triangle The crop of the state
this year is estimated at 1OO,0O0,0OO
bushels in round numbers, and the
greater portion of it is raised in 20 or
25 counties within this triangle, each
of which will raise from 100000 to
100000 bushels. The apex of this
triangle extends over the state line
down into Oklahoma, into Kay coun
ty. The northeasterly point is Clay
county and the northwesterly point
is Ellis county. Of course, many
other counties raise big wheat crops,
but these constitute the golden belt
of Kansas.

Unique Temperance society.


A peculiar society, having as its OBJ
ject the suppression of the liquor
traffic, has been organized in Great
Bend. The organization is composed
of the society young women of the
town. The girls stand on guard all
day long, each day at time, taking
note of those who patronize the
joints. A complete record is kept of
those with whom they are personally
acquainted, but the club is especially
directed toward suppressing the evil
among the young men of the town.
On first offense-that is, the first dis
covered offense-a card is sent the
young man, informing him that he
has been seen entering a certain sa-
loon at certain hour on certain
day, and if the offense is repeated he
can consider himself ostracized by the
good society in Great Bend.

to secure meal and pay his room rent
until he could secure position. Be
lieving he could find some man who
would help him If he told his story In

He was about to explain his condition

get position when the proprietor look

to his partner, and they held a consul

to keep the money. This he did, and a
month or so later he again walked into
