every power must come from that In
slrument, the authority TO legislaIe In
respect to that island IS a part Of the
United States territory. 1t follows
that all the provisions Of the COnstitu-
uon in respect TO personal and prop
erty rights, including the right to trial
by jury in criminal prosecution, be-
came ct once, when the cession was
completed, . part Of the supreme law
Of the land. The character Of an
odense and the nature OF It's punish
ment would be determined by the law
in force where and when the crime was
committed, and laws Of that character
remain In force after the eession until
changed; but the manner Of trial must
depend on the law in force when the
trial is had, even though the organlIa-
tlon Of courts must be awaited before
the trial can be had"
The decision states that, military
Law being the sole authority, the acts
Of a military court were entirely legal,
and the petition for 8 writ Of habeas
corpus y denied.

LEXINGTON AND LEXINGT0NlANS.

Under this heading the INTELuGEScER will publish a series OF articles
with the object Of putting before its readers the advantages Of Lexington snd
the character Of its citizens. We shall state everything 10 . plain manner and
without any eEaggershon. These articles wn,be written solely with a view to
giving our readers a better acquaintance with the county seat and the men who
are identified to = greater or less degree with Is business and Official interests.
We snAn dsSOte s small amount Of space 10 this purpose each week and naiHr.
ally the articles will run tor an indefinite period but to include the entire COM
Imunfy in one issue would necessLse an immense amount Of work and quite a
little expense with probably no better results.
These articles will be published free o. charge and We would be glad to
have every business man in the town appear in these columns before they close
and remember that if he does not it Is his own fault. We may accidentally
overlook him but all that will be required is for him to call our attention to the
fact and the error will be remeded. Iii not a boom edition but a plain bus-
ness proposition to bring business 10 Lexington in which the ISTELLiGEScER

will attempt to give = brief biographical sketch Of each man, including what be

be pursues. We will be IS impartial as possible, and whenever possible will
print a cut Of the subject in hand. OF course we expect each man to furnish

Altogether there are 1900, 900 men,

more than the total policy holders IN

Der but 2, l66, ETA. December 81, 1898,
the old line companies had s5, zoe, 900,
900 worth Of insurance in force, where
as the fraternal companies had but
$500, 900, 900. The total expense OF
management Of the old line companies
in 1898 vas sIl,S9s, 500, as against
sS, $3.50, $3.50 for the ~fraternal orders.
Thus vi find that with more than half
the business the fraternal orders are
carrying on their management at
about one twentieth the COS made by
the old companies. This makes it
'ery easy to understand why fraternal
insurance may be much cheaper aud at
the same time just as safe as the old
line insurance.

Judge Richard Field was born IN
Louisville, Kentucky. HIS father, Mr..
VIM. II. Field, (nOw desd,) was a
prominent lawyer in Louisville for
twenty years or more. The family re-
moved from Louisville in 1853, and
settled in Pettis county, Mo-, where,
during the first year Of the late civil
war, Mr.. W. II. Field met an untimely
death at the hands Of a squad of federal
soldiers.
Judge Richard Field was educated
mainly 10 Pettis county, at an Academy
Of high grade, then taught BY Prof.
George b. Newton, a Yale graduate of
high attainments, who came to Mis-
souri, from Louisville, Ny, and eslab-
lIshed a school for boys and young
men. This school attracted the atten-
ton Of such men As Judge William b.
Napton, Ex-Governor NJ. NJ. Marina
duke and others who became promi-
nent In state affairs. Such men as
these, sent their son to be taught by
Prof. Newton. Judge Field afterward
attended Westminster College.
The subject Of this sketch CON-
menced the study Of law under the
supervision Of his father, and after his
fathers death, pursued his studies in
the office Of Chancellor Henry S. Pirtle
and John Roberts, Esq, Of Louisville.
He was graduated from the Louisville
Law School, and in 1872 removed to
Lexington, Mo-, his present home.
Here he at once entered upon the
practice Of law, and has always been
successful. In 1856 he was elected on
the democratic ticket to the Office Of
Judge Of the circuit court, the circuit
beng composed oil the counties o.
Saline, Pettis and Lafayette. He wa,
reelected In 1892, and retired from
the bench in 1898. While upon tn,
bench he earned for himself a reputa.
ton for incorporating integrity anC
courage in the discharge Of his oficla.
duties, as well rs a profound knowledg,
Of the law. His record as a Judge Il
found written in the reports Of th'
supreme and appellate courts Of Mis-
souri, from 1886 to 1899, and 1t Is
record Of which the people Of the cir
cut are proud.

THE POLITICAL COMBINE.

Under the above heading the News
publishes this week sn article signed
"a Democrat" insinuating that there
is . combine between the Kansas City
Times, the INTELuGENCER, the Hlg-
ginsyille Leader and the Odessa Ledger
for the purpose Of controlling Lsfay-
elite county politics. This is an infA-
meas fasehood and known 10 be such
b the man Who wrote Il and BY the
paper that Published it.
II there be any such combination let
the man who wrote this article or the
paper thai published il state some facts
on which to base such q conclusion.
Let either Of them produce az iota of
evidence to prove that such q combi-
nation or any understanding Of any
kind whatever exists between the
papers mentioned. Unless this is done
they stand before the people convicted
Of libel and malicious f~alsehood. These
papers are in the same combination
that every d~eSsSoyafie paper Of the
country is in. A combination TO fight
the battles Of democracy and assist the
people IN once more securing the reips
Of government. We are in 9 comblna-
ton to elect William J. Bryan presi-
dent, send William S. CoTherd back
to congress and elect A, N. Dockery
governor. With US are joined thous-
Ands of the best Americans that ever
lived, and the combination will win.
But this same specimen goes or to
say that the IkrELLIGESCEB used
"hunkies and whippers in" to defeat
the nominee Of Lexington township
for congressional committeeman. We
don't know how that strikes the men
who were delegates TO the county con
vsntiou, but 1t strikes US as an inten-
tional insult. The INTELLIGENcER
does not meddls with that class known
as ''hunkies and Whippers ill.," but
appeals Us 1t did in the convention to
men, and the meN carried the day.
The term falsehood is hardly strong
enough to use when referring to the
statement that the editor Of this paper
represented that Mr.. Cowherd wished
MT. Musgrove a committeeman. That
is a plain every day lie, and every del
egate In the convention, including the
editor Of the News. knows II. The
entire attack is false aud uncalled for,
and has It's origin In the mind Of q
petty politician who has been turned
down.
The democratic papers everywhere
are working for harmony In The party,
and one that persists in trying to in-
cite quarrels and suspicious Of party
organs is not a true democratic organ,
and deserves DO recognition At the
hands Of the party. just now there is
enough to do without Publishing
articles rejecting on the nominees Of
the party and the papers that are loyal
to Its principles. II the article pub
lIshed In the News this week had been
in the interest Of harmony or purity in
politics 1t would have been all right, but
being the irresponsible vaporings Of a
man wno would not sign bis article, II
can but meet with the condemnation OF
all democrats.
