All County Elections in One Year.

If the election of all county officers
ternate year can be effected by leg
islative act and without constitutional
amendment there viii be a saving in
time and cost to the state Tt is of
the opinion of the Attorney General
that the Constitutional amendment
is unnecessary There is no provis-
ion in the Constitution requiring GER
tain county officers to be elected in
the odd numbered years, this action
being due to a statute What the
constitution does say on the subject
is this:
cart. A, Sec. .. General elections
shall be held annually on the Tuesday
succeeding the first Monday in No
vember -
General elections are held annually
in this state, bat the question has
arisen whether the state elections III
the even-numbered years would be
constitutional, if all county officers
were elected at that time, leaving
none to be elected in the Odd-num-
bered years-in other words, whether
if there were no elections to be held
in the odd-numbered years the Con
stitution would not be violated.
The Attorney General has given
the opinion that the bill would ac-
complish the purposes of a constitu-
tiona1 amendment and that making all
the elections in the even-numbered
years would not nullify these elections,
Notwithstanding that no elections are
provided for in the odd numbered
years. The proposed bill viii make
a great saving to the state and if
there is, as the Attorney General
thinks, no constitutional provision in
the way the bill will generally be
Endorsed. Topeka Capital, Feb. 90
The bill Will probably become a
law and under this Interpretation
there would be no election this fall.
The officers who would necessarily
hold over would be Sheriff, Register
of Deeds, Treasurer, County Clerk,
Surveyor and Commissioner in Sd
district.
A Topeka report of February 25th
says:
Halletts bill providing for biennial
sage by the house in committee of
the whole. Under the provisions of
the act, the county elections this fall
are thrown over for one year. All of
the county off GERS except sheriffs and
treasurers who are now serving their
second terms will hold over. The
constitution provides that sheriffs and
treasurers shall only hold Office four
years. The governor will have to
appoint treasurers and sheriffs for the
short term.
Caunty commissioners will be
chosen as usual and SO will township
officers. However, constitutional
amendment will be submitted at the
next election providing for biennial
election of those off ficers.

Rail to the Broncho!

| At last the broncho has received
official recognition. The United
States army has decided that he is
needed in the business of conducting
the warfare in the Philippines.
From the days of Job the charger
has been familiar figure in all pic
lures of war. He has said ha ha
among the captains of all nations and
his nostrils have detected the odor of
carnage on the zephyrs of all eli
mates. No knight or warrior bold
was ever fit to fight without his
barbed steed, and from Bucephalus
to Rozinante we have in history, fic-
ton and legend a list of names of
gallant horses that is as interesting as
it is appalling in length. Richard
called for horse on the field where
he sought the last of the trio of Rich
monds. Never was doughty deed
wrought in which the noble steed did
not share in his masters fate. Glory
was his and poesy has twined many
| an aromatic wreath around his noble
head. The Six Hundred at Balalkla-
va had been helpless without their
horses, and so would Napoleon at
Wagram or Wellington at Waterloo.
Light Horse Harry" Lee is roman
tic figure of our own history, and
many a living veterans mind will
bark back through thirty-fve or more
years of time at the mention of Sher-
idan, Custer, Early or Forrest.
In the west here we have had much
to do with the army and we have al
ways held a warm spot in our hearts
for the mud-pulling doughboy, but it
was to the yellow striped men of the
ttcritter" regiment that our sympath-
les went out. But even he did not
ride the broncho. Now we know the
beast; piebald, pinto or elaybank. he
is a creature of our glorious West.
Cross between all that is bad and
much that is good, he is product of
the West. What is cursed by the
tenderfeet and and immortalized by
sculptor and painter as his native
cussedness is but his inborn sense of
/ freedom, his natural heritage from
an ancestry dating back at least to
the mare that came over with the
conquistradores- Fifty years of civil
1zation have not served to stamp out
the natural tendencies that come
down from more than three centuries
of unrestricted liberty. and the bron-
cho is still the wild child of untram-
meled nature. His viciousness is
protest against restraint, and his per-
sistency is born of the perseverance
that has led his human-if not hu-
mane-master to conquer the desert
and subdue the wilderness
And now the United States army is
going to give the broncho a place on
the roll of honor with the mule. 1t
is not too soon, nor will the honor
ever be unworthily borne. As a pro-
vocative of profanity the broncho
can easily hold his own with any ami
NAL that wears hair, hybred or not,
while in the performance of duty he
has long since proven beyond doubt
or cavil mis- merit.-Omaha Bee.

CUBA AND PHILIPPINE NEWS.

The committee on relations of the
Cuban convention met in Havana on
the ped to consider the report drawn
up by its secretary, Senior Juan Quail
berto Gomez, on the Platt amendment.
In substance the report rejects four
clauses--the clauses dealing with coal
ing stations, foreign relations, the
right to intervene to preserve peace
and the entering into treaties cover
ing the points in question. The other
clauses are treated on the lines of the
previous report, the sanitation of the
Isle of Pines being virtually agreed to
Three of the five members of the COM
mittee objected to the rejection in toto
of the four clauses mentioned, and it
is believed that some consideration
should be given them. No vote was
taken but a majority was opposed to
acceptance.
So many queries have been made as
to when the President will announce
the appointments from the volunteer
service to that of the regulars that
this statement is authorized The full
list of officers transferred from the vol
unteer to the regular service will en-
brace over 900 names, and it is not
expected that it can possibly be com
! pleted in less than several weeks The
pay corps has 81 vacancies for 30 vol
unteer officers. which fact insures re-
tention of all save three. The quar-
termaster's and commissary depart
ments will also provide we'll for volun'
teer officers now in those corps. The
list that goes to the White House will
be subject to little change by the Pres
ident.

verdict OF Murder Rendered.

After a week of "rumors" and talk
of foul play, an inquest was held on
the 10Th in the case of John Fitzsim-
ons, who was found dead on the 18th
on a farm he had made arrangements
TO manage, a couple of miles from
Hamburg, and the jury impaneled rem
dered verdict that Fitzsimcns came to
his death as the result of blows he re-
ceived on the head, and which were
inflicted by unknown parties. Within
half an hour after this verdict was re-
turned Sheriff Henry d. Finley placed
under arrest on the charge of commit
ting the murder, James Ryan, of How.
ell. brother of John Ryan, editor of
the Howell Democrat, and John Den.
ehy. farmer who has lived in that
locality for many years. From the
time that foul play was suspected in
the death of Fitzsimons these two men
had been looked upon with suspicion,
and at the inquest they were both rep
resented by attorney. Therefore,
their arrest was not a surprise to any
body, and certainly not to themselves,
as they had made arrangements for
bail beforehand Justice Swartz an
nounced that he would accept bail and
he placed it at 81, in two sureties
for each man. Bonds were promptly
furnished and the two men were re.
leased from the custody of the sheriff
before they had even been behind the
prison bars.
