from a Syrian Manuscript.

a demon once presented himself
IN the ,hapc Of q human being TO the
custodian Of an eastern monastery, re-
questing TO be admitted as an inmate
Of that holy institution, The cur
todian took a fancy TO the stranger,
and prevailed upon the abbot 10 grant
the request. During his stay at the
monastery the demon performed all
kinds Of wonderful thing, thus caus.
ing the monks 10 question whether
their new associate was at all human.
They at last made bold to address him
thus: IF thou art an angel, we are
not fit to live under the same roof
with thee; but Il thou art an evil spirit,
ii i not safe for Us TO harbor thee any
longer" The demon then told them
bis true story. and in doing so con-
tinced them Of the reality Of his re-
pentancc and Of his desire ID be re-
ceiyed among the saved. Upon his re-
quest the monks spent three days in

testimony of former Gov. Bradley
and others has tended to dispel the
belief that a Goebel suspect can
not get a fair trial in Kentucky,
and they concede that if Taylor is
innocent he has everything to lose
and nothing TO gain by not being
brought to trial. At the time of
GoebePs death there was no doabt
more or less thirst for revenge and
a determination that someone
should be made to suffer for his
murder, but all that is now passed.
Kentuckians are proud of their
State and its good name, and to a
man they realize that any injustice
in the case of Taylor would be
quickly taken up and made pre-
text of attacks on the common
wealth. II Taylor will surrender
himself, he can have as fair trial
in Kentucky as he could in the
District of Columbia, and should
he be acquitted, he can live in the
State with perfect safety and at
peace with his neighbors."
The first annual report of Gov.
Allen, of Porto Rico, has been
made public. Naturally, he says
the government of which he is at
the head is the best that could
have been given the island, and
incidentally he tosses a few bo-
quets at Congress for his part of
the work. He explains the lack
of progress on the island by stat
ing the ease with which its natural
products support the natives
without work. This may be true,
but it doesn't exactly square with
the cabled departure of 400 Porto
Rican laborers for Hawaii, where
they hope to make better living
than they have been able to make |
at home, which appeared in the
papers the same time that Gov.

the control Of trusts. He sees great
danger in the stiled composition
which is to come by a continuance OF
the methods OF the great aggregations

The Washburn Leader is satisfied
.taat, in the light of the questions that
have been raised regarding the consh-
tutionality of the 1891 boundary law,
the commissioners of that county were:
wise in compromising the taxes as
sessed against Northern Pacific lands
in what wa formerly Church county,
as it removed the Northern Pacific as
Il party to the controversy. The
Leader says:
In another column appears the pro-
ceedings of the county commissioners
%comering the compromise of certain
taxes assessed against lands situate in
what was formerly Church county, and
what is now and has been since its att
tslchment to Mclean county BY 1egisla-
tive enactment commonly known as
disputed territory-there being a ques-
ton regarding the constitutionality of
the law under which this territory
was acquired and attached to Mclean
county. Mclean county as well as
the entire western part of the state is
affected by this boundary question
and there have been a number of cases
Instituted in district court, and In
fact the supreme court OF the state has
ruled the 1895 laW-whichS is Identical
with the 1901 which affects Mclean
county-as unconstitutional. There
are cases now pending calling in cues
ton the 1891 law and it is expected
that a ruling from the supreme court
on this will be had within the next
Year. There has been more or less
said on this subject during the last few
Years and our readers are well ac-
quainted with the status of the case.
So far all decisions have been against
the counties, but it is hoped that q
favorable decision to the counties
might be obtained from the supreme
court when the 1891 law comes up for
consideration o n the ground OF public
policy. Considering the decisions
that have been had the wiseness OF
this compromise is generally com
nlended and it is deemed a good move
