Correspondence Of the Ledger
on BOARD "pIrrsBrR6 SPECIAL.
Sept. la .LOnr train left Cleveland a
s a. IA. this morning and the time w
ta,r been making surely iustiaes thu
trains name. Especial Flyer w
are travelling on a douhle-track lin,
and our train has Just stopped out o.
respect Of the Presidential funera
train which Is now approaching. AL
Of the passengers are out on the right
of-way; some will carry away as sou
venirs snap shots OF the train, other
fiattened pins or coins over which the
ear wheels Of the train have passed.
The train has Just passed; the en-
CINE, entirely covered with Grape,
looked like a monster bird Hopping
its huge black wings 10 the air. The
rear coach was beautifully draped in
mourning and the large observation
windows gave us a full view Of the
easket which was wrapped in the
stars and stripes. The rear Of the
coach was a perfect mass Of flowers.
On either side Of the door was a guard
Of soldiers, while inside were guards
as escorts from the army and navy.
Three special trains made up the
funeral cortege. They a about ten
minutes apart. When our train ar
rived at Alliance every available place
was occupied with people awaiting
the arrival OF the Presidential train.
All the school children were being
marched to the depot. Such sights
we're TO be seen Ia every town along
the line. Every county road and tie
pile. on fence posts and by the fence
on the right-Of-way could be seen
groups, large and small, all anxious TO
get, if possible, a last look at the
caSket that held the remains Of our
beloved President
l never say the adage, 1--WE know
not what a day viii bring forth so
forcibly illustrated as at Cleveland.
Friday night when / left there for
Buffalo the city was in a blaze OF glory
on account Of the G. A. r. encamp-
ment Music floated on the breeze,
millions Of brilliantly lighted globes
amid the bright and beautiful decora-
tions gave a halo Of beauty and Joy to
every thing. When | returned this
morning all is changed-the beautiful
stars and stripes hang at half mast,
draped in somber mourning; the gay
bunting that encircled the columns Of
jackson Square has given placelto the
embiems Of death. Instead OF the
spirit Of gayety and mirth, there is
a suppressed feeling Of awe and sor-
row as the people mourn the loss Of
their fayorite son.
Every thing looks prosperous back
here and rain; why, 1t rains all the
time;at least 1t seems SO. Many OF the
crops are drowned out. / saw fields Of
corn in which grass and weeds were
higher than the corn on account Of

Already the candidate are empha,
sizing the fact that there is to be az
election next spring, and there is some
degree Of interest manifested. In re.
gard to candidates possibly this piece
Of rhyme Il shall not say poetry is not
malapropos:
Here's 10 the worthy candidates
OF the grand old county, Audrain.
Each who Is striving earnestly
Some Office TO obtain.
Each one has his special friends,
Who are anxious for his conquest,
But If you have to go up Salt River
Try and think its fer the best.
OH the siege 50 long and hard
OF c~anyassing DER the county,
But stiil you have the pleasure
OF feasting on the farmers bounty.
One bad feature that canvassing has,
II encourages . man 10 iatter.
Pretty speeches must he learn { omake
And mods and smiles must scatter.
And even those he's nearly forgotten
He approaches in a familiar way,
Stops his shoulder, shakes bis hand.
"Old friend, how's crops today"
sOid friend suspiciously turns around
Replies they're tolerably fair.
The wheat and oats look well indeed,
But corn viii need great care.
The candidate at last has courage to
announce
What Office he wishes 10 win,
But the old friend laughs and shakes
his head
An says I'm see you again.
The candidate then winds his weary
way
To 5 school house night and night,
Where they laugh and Jest and plead
theireause
And sometime squabble and fight.
Afterwards he goes 70 a farm house

Interesting I.awxuits

Of IN interesting lawsuit tried in the
Monroe County Circuit Court last
week:
VIM. Hanna was given judgment

against William and John NJ. Cow.
herd. The suits were ON notes held
by Mr. Hanna. The defendants plead
the statute Of limitations, alleging
that the credits put upon the notes
were Illegal. 1t was a peculiar case.
Mr.. Hanna had bought $50 worth Of
corn from VIM Cowherd who instruct.
ed him TO give him credit for the
amount on his paper. Hanna applied
i all on one note, but claimed that
he saw Immediately that he had made
a mistake and at once erased the
credit and distributed it over the
other notes, thereby renewing them
before the statute Of limitations out
iawed them. The whole case hinged
on the question as to when the erasure
and the distribution Of the credit on
The other notes was made. Hanna
testified that It was done Immediately
after he first applied It and saw his
mistake, claiming that he afterwards
told the defendant II IT and that no
objection was made. The jury IN each
case decided IN favor Of the plaintiff
for thetotal amount mentioned above.

There are some men who have no re-
gard for common decency when it comes
to question Of gratifying some petty
jealousy. The National Bar assoc,at tion
recently bsld meeting in Denver and a
number of the Colorado lawyers were
applicants for membership. Among
this number was Senator Patterson. Be-
fore these applications were acted upon
by the association they wers submitted
to q committee Of Colorado members Of
the association for their approval.
These refused to report favorably upon
the application OF Senator Patterson, 9
man who is conceded to be one OF the
ablest lawyers of the state Of Colorado
and who has recently been honored by
the citizens of our state with an cleo
tion to the highest office in their Gift,
These seven gentlemen simply to grat,fy
some petty spite have not only deliber-
ately and publicly insultsd Senator
Patterson but have without any justifia.
BILE cause offered public insult to a
large majority Of the voters Of the stat .
by whom Mr.. Patterson was elected to
the Office OF United States Senator. On
what grounds these gentlemen attempt
to justify this outrage upon common
every day decency We are at loss even
on guess. They certainly should have
had enough respect for the high Office
which he holds even, II they had none
Tor the man, to refrain from any such
action as this,

The Denver papers are bewailing the
fact that their city has ecquired such a
bad name throughout the state, and
they express the fear that the Festival

adversely thereby. II such should
prove to be the case, these same sheets
would have themselves to blanc in large
part. For partisan and for Sensational
purposes they have persistently exag-
gerated the condition Of affairs in the
city, and it is no wonder now il many
people are loath TO risk their persons
and their pocketbook among such perlls
as have been no luridly portrayed.

A scheme 10 on foot to have 90 ugress
pass bill to segragate one million acres
Of land in the Salt Creek basin Of Wyo-
ming to the Pennsylvania oil and gas
campany and other concerns. Petitions
were formulated under false pretenses

citizens Of Wyoming are awake to the
danger Of the proposition and are pro.
testing against it as they should do.
We would much dislike to see such a
precedent established here in the west
and il our people are to maintain their
rights against the greed Of grasping
corporations like the Standard oil COM

corners closely and organize to down

The railroad companies having failed
to stop proceedings under the revenue
law by the case IN the supreme court have
attempted to gam the same end by start
ing now case before Judge Dixon of
Pueblo and making application for an
injunction TO restrain the state board OF
assessors from any further proceedings
under the revenue Law. Judge Dixon
has granted the Injunction. The at,or.
ney's fer the railroad companies claim
that they have finally succeeded in
blocking oil further proceedings under
the new revenue law pending the hear
ing OF tho case before the supreme court.
The Attorney General takes . different
view Of the matter and claims that, II he
fails to dissolve tho injunction, hs can
take an Rppeai to the supreme court aud
secure u supersedess which will sus.
pend the injunction pending the hear.
Ing before the supreme court. The
railroad companies are certainly taking
q most unreasonable position on this
revenue Law. They seem 10 10 fighting
the enforcement OF this revenue law
simply because, under 1t, tho assessment
is made by the state board Of assessors
instead OF by the state board OF equalizs-
tion. The state board Of equalization
consists oi the governor, state auditor,
treasurer, sscrstary Of state and sttor.
nsy general. The state board Of a.s.ss-
ors consists Of l3 members to DO 70.

tsinly NO good reason eau b given Why
the ssme men who place the assssssd

place fair and just valuation 90 the
railroad property In tho state. There In
no just ground for making the railroad
companies preferred Taxpayers the
value OF whose property must bs passed

dares to do 80 as traitor to his country.
This demand Of "hands of" that 10 made
by these worshipers at the shrine Of "the
powers that be" is doctrine that be-
longed to the ages goue by when men
were foolish enough to believe that the
king can do no wrong, but is somewhat
antsqusted for the twentieth century.
These insular cases were presented to
the United Statss Supreme Court for
decision. The court passed upon the
cases and handed down it's decision
which every good citizen recognizes as
the law in all similar cases at least till
such time - the court may sec ht to
reverse itself. But simply because this
decision settles the questions in dispute
for the time being, is NO good reason
why an American citizen cannot freely
comment upon and crlticise, IL he sees
ut, this decision of the court without
being denounced as traitor to the gov
ernment under which he lives. Con-
gresham Littlefleld is an able lawyer,
probably the equal in ability OF the men
who handed down this decision. He is
republican, is recognized as leader in
the House Of Representatives and cannot
for moment be charged with having
made hrs criticisms upon the decision
from political motives. Under such
conditions IL seems very strange indeed
that some OF the partisan newspapers Of
our state should indulge in fit Of poll
tical Mysteries simply because this gen.
tleman from Maine has seen fit to take
issue with the supreme court on the
wisdom Of the decision in these cases.
