want.

LENTZ ~ COVENTRY.

That there is in every true American
the chivalry and manliness to respeci
\ the executive as the eminent leader
of the people, even if his policy does not
I find approval, is shown in the universal
sorrow which followed the death of
! Mckinley, and sidelights which have
/ been thrown since have given higher
relief to it.
Before and during the Spanish war
there was no man so loud in his denun-
ella ton of the President and the Repub-
lican party as John ]. Leptz, of Ohio.
a Democrat who Is the law partner of
Governor Nash of that state. Lentz
was elected to the Congress during the
Pryan campaign in which noise seemed
10 be a recommendation. and held his
seat two terms. Finally his denuncia-
tions of his fellow Ohioans. including
the President. whose personal integrity
he impeached on the floor of the House
became so strong that his constituents
left him at home and gave the Column
bus district back to the Republicans,
after many years.
After the shooting of Mckinley Lentz
was interviewed and 1t was said utter
ed the same sentiments which had
characterized his speeches in the
House. At least he was so quoted and
despite his denials that he used the
language. 1t was so close to the style
of denunciation that he had followed
for so many years that the people rel
fused to believe other than that he was
guilty OF the breach of the pre- prietles.
The campaign in Ohio came on and
Lentz went out to work for his party.
Col. Kilbourne, the Democratic candi-
date, is a man well known in the state.
He appeared on the same platform with
Ientz and the people Kissed the latter
off the stump and he was asked to keep
out OF the fight. The people would
have none of him and resented his APP
pearance at all.
So far has the resentment gone that
Governor Nash has been asked to close
the partnership which has existed for
many years. The people will not per-
nit expressions of disrespect to one
whose work for them was marked by |
high minded sincerity. and in Coventry |
Lentz and his kind will rest.

A DANGEROUS PLACE.

That Nuuanu street at the foot of
Judd hill and below Bates street is,
under present conditions, menace to
the lives and limbs of those who are
obliged to travel that busy thorough
fare, we think no one can deny The
street narrows at that point and, TO
make a bad matter worse the ter
minus of the Tram line is there located
and much of the time cars are standing
on the track.
Heavily loaded buses. behind two
small mules, come down the hill at
speed which would make a sudden stop
impossible and unless conditions are
bettered a serious accident Is probable
at any time.
Nuuanu street, below the bridge and
from point just above Bates street, has
already been widened and the stretch
between these two points being govern
ment property should make the needed
change a very simple matter. Tram
cars instead of standing in the street
should do their waiting Waikiki of the
curb line where the track already ex-
tends and where the terminus of the
Pacific Heights line Is located.
1t is only a few days since a Por-
tuguese boy was thrown from his horse
here and seriously injured and the
nerves OF the nearby residents are kept
on the rack by the hair-breadth es-
capes OF which they are almost daily
witnesses.
With the widening OF the street and
the removal OF the obstruction teams
could readily pass and foot passengers
would stand a better chance OF getting
out OF the way Of danger

w SENATORIAL CHANGES.

While the of year elections usually
are without great significance. those
which have been reported from the
States show that the policies OF the
Republican party have suffered moth
ing in the minds or the people. Though
there VIII be one Democratic senator
IN the next Congress where there was
Republican. It cannot be said that
there viii be any regret in the party
ranks, or in fact fret by any Of those
who knew him, that Wellington, o.
Maryland. gives place TO one who
though an arch politician has always
been an American.
The returns from Maryland show that
the Democrats have a large majority
and as the issue was TO a great ex-
tent German. there will be no one TO
dispute his right to the seat. Five
years ago young man who had made
for himself a name in his state, en-
tered the United States Senate and
found every one ready To give him a
hearing. Wellington had been an
astute politician though there were
many who thought him below the
caliber OF a statesman. He soon fell
out of step with his party. He opposed
the war and attempted TO block the
administration at every step. There
was none OF the dignity which earned
for such men as Hoar the respect OF
their fellows, while their arguments
failed to make converts.
From a dissenter Wellington became
a ranter and soon fell into such straits
that he was in a class alone with Pet
tigrew and Butler. Then came the last
step when ne was alleged TO have said
that he could not even regret the death
of President Mckinley, and since that
time he has been classed as impos-
sible.
In Kentucky there will be a fight.
II the present is borne out by future
Blackburn has a strong
hold upon the men of his party but
when Henry Watterson announced that
he was out for place in the councils
of the nation, It was taken that he
would strike for the senate rather than
for the governOrship as a stepping
stone. in the event of the success of his
party. Should this be a fact there will
be a pretty contest in the Blue Grass
but from this distance there
seems no reason to believe that success
will attend the efforts of the editor.
Foraker and Deliver will be return
"a from Ohio and Iowa respectively and
there will be Republicans from every
other state where that party now has

Mrs Nation is yet busy. Her methods
cannot be commended, nevertheless she
is doing good work. Sbr Is fighting
outlaws who hav. corrupted county aud
city officials to such nm extent that they
have become the servants OF lawbreakers
instead Of the people. When the legally
constituted authorities refuse to execute
the laws such remedy as Mrs. Nations
seems the only practical way OF caring
for the interests of the public. In many
sections OF Kansas the joint keepers have
no fear OF prosecuting attorneys but nre
beginning to dread n visit from Mrs.
Nation or her followers, and many joints
are being closed. Kansas officials will
disgrace themselves IL they interfere
with Mrs. Nations work while at the
same time they refuse to arrest the keep
ers OF joints. The present outlook is
that Mrs. Nations campaign is going to
be of much benefit to Kansas. Its suc-
cess in closing up joints may be suggcs.
tive to citizens all over the state how
they may successfully deal with class
of men who defy all law.

The bills before the legislature provid.
ing for return to capital punishm.u. in
this state are likely to take up more OF
the time OF the assembly than any other
measures aside from tho finance bills.
The longer action is delayed the more
active become the opponents Of return
to the old system, says the Denver Times,
aud the less likely that the legislature
will pass any such bill. There is little
doubt that the advocates OF capital pun.
ishment have a majority in both houses
a. the present time. but it is question
IL they can keep that majority intact
against the assaults Of those who think
it would be n step backward. The anti.
capital punishment lobby is tho largest

about the legislature aud 1t is daily
growing in size and power. II the fight
