MAY MAKE TROUBLE.

The understanding between Cover
nor Stanley end his political advisers
that no sherIffs shall be appointed TO
fill out the partial terms created by the
biennial election law may not steer the
executive away from troublesome com
plications as much as this way out in
tended. Or. 1t is expected, trouble OF
another sort will come out of it.
The lawyers of the state Will probab-
ly raise row.
1t is held up that the standing of ev-
cry suit, in which certain hold-over
sheriffs take part, would De in danger.
Judge Valentine once construed that
section Of the constitution which de-
clares that sheriffs and county tTeasur
ers cannot serve more than two terms
and lawyers pin 10 that CONSTRUCTION,
unless test case should be brought be-
fore the supreme court and this opinion
set aside. Judge Valentine Interpreted
the law to the effect that a part Ct q
term was term under the law. II al
officer was appointed between elections
and at the next election was elected 10
the office, and served a full term, he was
not eligible for another election nor bad
he right to hold over long enough to
make up four years. Judge Valentine
enunciated the principle that when .
successor did not qualify upon the day
designated by the statute. and the pred
ecessor held the Office until the new man
did quallfV, the successor was thus vol-
unfairly giving up part of his term -
his predecessor.
A prominent lawyer said today: No
lawyer will go ahead with case in which
sheriff who has been in office two terms
has served papers, in my opinion. II
would give grounds to throw out the case
whichever way decided, too big loop
They would not know whether The
man who performed the functions as
sheriff had right to act. Successors
must be appointed where sheriffs have
served two terms or you will see tie
grandest kind of a row.
AS for county treasurers, which Dy
the way are appointed by the county
commissioners, Judge Valentines opin-
ION holds that after the statutory explr-
alton of their terms their bondsmen are
not responsible for defaults. The treas
urer may stay in until relieved by his
successor, but be may steal everything
in sight also and there Is nothing 10
hold him to."-Topeka State journal.
The roar which has gone up from tho
bar has induced Governor Stanley To
change his mind on the proposition and
his latest decision is that he will ap.
point sheriffs in counties like Barber,
where sheriffs have served four ye2rs.

It would be treason for
one to advocate the loaning
of government money to the
people at 9 per cent, but it is
the finest brand of patriotism
to uphold the powers that be,
in loaning it to the national
banks at one half of one per
cent. And yet some good re-
publicans tell us there are
no privileged classes in this
country.

If it is true that that this
country has been enjoying
such abundant prosperity
during the past four years as
has been represented by the
republican press and po-
iitical orators, how does it
happen that one year of a
partial failure Of crops pro-
duces such widespread dis
content. There is no use in
trying to conceal the fact
that the drouth this year has
put many people in very poor
circumstances. The lesson
taught is that the ordinary
man is simply living from
hand to mouth when the ele-
ments are favorable, and they
suffer privation in years of
only partial productiveness.
That state of affairs is as bad
as they possibly can get.
Under proper conditions the
people should be able to with
stand one total failure every
five years without the least
hardship.

ANOTHER NEGRO OUTRAGE.

On Sunday night within a short dis
tance of the place where Wiley Kirk, who
will be hanged today, Friday, assaulted
Mrs. Green, negro caught, choked,
beat and assaulted Mrs. Georgia Grcason,
on the outskirts of Baltimore. The as
sault was undoubtedly one of the most
brutal heard of and Indignation in that
section is at dangerous point. Efforts
are being made to catch the negro, but so
far all attempts have been unsuccessful.
1t does seem as if capital pun
ishment for this character OF cases has no
effect whatever and criminologists, who
realize the gravity of the situation, are
discussing some more effective manner
for dealing with the criminals.

REV. Mr.. CASTLEMAN INJURED.

Rev. R. Allen Castleman, rector of EN-
manuel Protestant Episcopal Church,
Bel Air, met with two accidents; one on
last Friday evening and the other Satur-
day. The latter is of painful, but it is
to be hoped not of a dangerous nature.
While horseback riding on Friday, the
animal on which he was mounted, stepped
into blind ditch and threw him. He
was bruised in several places, and no
doubt his weakness from this was the
cause of the next mishap.
On Saturday he purchased a fishing rod
from Mr.. Thomas w. Hall and in attempt
ing to mount his horse must have struck
the animal with it, as it Immediately
started to run. He was unable to get his
foot in the stirrup and thefrightened ami
NAL plunged up Main street, running
about mile beyond the town limits. In
his efforts to control the horse Mr.. Cas-
tleman lost consciousness and fell, strik-
ing the back of his head on stone. He
was picked up by Mr. Nathan Dean, who
saw the horse running away and follow
ed in his buggy. Mr. Castleman also re-
ceived bruises about the body. He isnow
improving rapidly.
