NOPE ABOUT THAT KANSAS JUDeEsHIP
z,oo,o,s rrotegt against the appointment Of cor
poration attorney to the federal udgeshp for the district
Of Kansas seems to have been msinerpreted in sense
No reflection on the honesty or ability Of one was IN
tended In fact we refraned mentioning names in
the editorial referred to- but which elected it seems
considerable comment The Eagle is simply opposed to
amounting railway or other corporation attorneys what
ever their ability or experience as lawyers to life tenure
iudgeships That the people with US IN this matter
we have not the least doubt probably well nigh unan
aougy with u.s. and the reasons set forth IN the
editorial referred TO-
Kansas senators and representatives are to hold a
conference today at the capital Of the state for the pur
pose of trying to agree to recommend TO the
president to succeed Judge Hook It is our Information
that Senator Burton will urge Chas Blood Smith and
that Senator Long will favor LOOMS. It is further
stated that Mr. Muyane the Kansas national committee
man. has gone on to Washington to personally urge upon
the president the appointment Of Smith Again in this
caDddatue the names of GIeed and Ware Doster and OF
probably other corporation lawyers have been mentioned
if not urged All these gentlemen are able lawyers are
in fact men of eminent ability Of the highest moral
character and all that If they were not they would
never have been retained employed by railway and
other corporations who seeking out and engaging the
best talent are able pay the highest fees and salaries
We respect. and highly, all the gentlemen named, and
therefore the objection personal one, nor in
party sense a political one
One of the most sharply defined issues Of the near
future and which is now imminent an issue which will
not only involve partisan politics. politics in higher

Fire Alarms.

Mention has been made from time to | time in the local columns of The Republican of the recklessness with
 which some people turn in fire
 alarms. putting the department to a 1 great deal of trouble and endangering
 life and limb, for every run is fraught with danger. One of these foolish alarms was turned in last night. and after having run almost out of the city 1 limits the department found a flourish
 ing brush fire upon which man and his wife were piling more fuel.
 It turned out as usual that the alarm
 had been sent in by somebody who had seen the confiagration from a distance ing. A rule should be established that alarms should be sent from the district within which the fire breaks out and then the man who sends it would know whether or not it is a conflagration calling for the attention of the depart
 ment.
 This is a matter which cannot be very we'll regulated unless the people
 of the town agree among themselves
 to exercise Judgment. The Gepartmen; cannot complain, though the members
 are at liberty to indulge in silent and intellectual profanity. It might hap pen that while the department is mak- ing a run to one of these brush fires a realIv serioIIs hIaze wOuld break Out in another part of the town.

everything else, and fairness compels them to say that they heard rumors of other resources, such as fisheries. lum- Der coal, and petroleum, but as in the case of the precious metals, these rumors came from men who had an obvious interest in giving the visiting senators a favorable impression.
 On the other hand, it will be pointed out the committee took the testimony through an interpreter of nineteen count them-nineteen Indians. seven Chinamen and three Norwegians, all of whom agreed that the American resi- dents were no good and the countrys resources a fake. These witnesses ob- jected to any American being their representative as delegate. and the Norwegians thought Senator Nelson of Minnesota was the government anyhow. As to the American citizen ship. the committee will report that the least said the better. Most of the shrewd faces. to be sure, and some of them were manifestly men of respect ability lured to the country by hope of regaining health or by that innate love of adventure which characterizes so many of our countrymen, but all without exception were found to be mere adventurers. and many of them were lacking in culture-not a few had never read any of Senator Bever- idge's speeches. The report-we are speaking of the report of the majority. understand, and do not include Sena- tor Patterson-will recommend, finally, that congress deny the request for a delegate elected by the people. It will be explained that it is the con clusion of the committee that the men of Alaska are not capable of selecting a worthy delegate Moreover. it will be pointed out. a delegate elected by further to disturb the present equin- brium of the senate and would be con- trary to the wish of the fathers that the American congress should be for
 
 state of Indiana and the kingdom of Norway However, the report win con- clude, the majority members of the committee are honest and fair-a vote having been taken and each senator having admitted that he is honest and fair-and so it is not proposed to ignore the people of Alaska-it is proposed to give them a delegate appointed by the federal officers of the territory, it being understood that these officials will ap- point somebody suggested by the chair man of the senate committee on terri tories.
 Tn support of the committees report and recommendation, Senator Nelson will make a powerful speech showing the poor quality of Alaska's citizenship. and Senator Bard will follow with an equally powerful effort in the same line, showing that the people of Alaska are not only unfit to elect a delegate but have nothing whereon to found stable territory And the Los Angeles Times will prove by powerful editorials that Bard is a statesman and therefore can't be mistaken about Alaska.
 And Senator Beveridge and Senator Depew will close the debate with lengthy arguments showing that most of the people in Alaska are Mormons, apyho,,-
