hibits of the st. Petersburg office for
preparing government papers, and OF
Angerer & Geshl, of Austria: Malvo, or

The Field of Politics.
Not in the Running.


The Hon. BENZ. B. Odell is said to have
abandoned his intention of again being
candidate for governor of New York.
The third term proposition is no more
popular in the Empire State when the
governorship is under consideration than
in the case of Grover Cleveland and the
Presidency. Governor Odell has appar-
emily found this out early in the game,
and he will not seek the honor of the
Republican nomination third time.
The governor had a narrow escape
from defeat by the Hon. Bird S. Coler
last fall. So uncomfortably close was
the contest that a little rain on election
day up in the northern part of the State
where the farmers are all Republicans
would have been the means of retiring
the governor by reason of failure TO get
out the country vote. AS matter of
fact two Democrats on the ticket were
elected-Mr. Cuneen, the candidate for
attorney general, and Judge Gray, for
the bench
The governor may realize that with
the chances of the Democrats carrying
New York for their Presidential ticket
next year. daily increasing. and with the
prejudice against third term to in1ure
him, that he might fail to get even the
5000 majority which was given him last
fall

RICHARDSON THINKS
HARMONY ESSENTIAL
Democratic Leader Would Settle Candi-
date for Presidency Later.

Representative James D. Richardson,
the House. who arrived in the city last
night in connection with Scottish Rite
Masonic business, will remain In the city
several days.
AS usual Mr.. Richardson was reticent
in discussing politics, and declined posi-
lively to name any man whom he thought
might make good candidate for the
Presidency on the Democratic ticket.
Concerning Mr.. Cleveland. he express
ed view similar to those Of all the
other prominent leaders.
IT do not think" said he, that Mr..
Cleveland has made any statement
which indicates that he desires the
nomination at the hands OF the Demo
cratic party. Nor do think he intends
to seek the nomination. Anyway, it is
too early for the party to unite upon a
candidate. There has been no consensus
of opinion anywhere in the country con-
corning the choice Of nominee.
81 have no candidate myself. Before
we discuss one. 1 think we should have
harmony. And to bring about harmony
one must not say 1 am for harmony.
but I want Mr.. So-and-So as a candi-
date"
Mr. Richardson said he did not think
President Roosevelt could command
as much strength as several other men
whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the Republican nomina-
ton. The President, he said, excites ami

Kansas Makes a Change.

The change OF political sentiment In
Kansas is forcibly illustrated by the
Congressional election recently held in
the seventh district Of that State to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation Of
the Hon. Chester I. Long, who was last
March elevated to the Senate. In 1896
this district. which includes thirty-six
counties and embraces about onethird
Of the entire State, territorially, re-
turned to the House the Hon. Jerry
'-Sockless'' Simpson, a Populist OF Pops,
the simon pure article. although he has
since turned Democrat.
A few days ago the Hon. Victor Muir
dock. Republican, was elected from the
district by more than $4,000 majority
over his Democratic opponent. the Hon.
C. f. Clyne. In fact, Murdock's plur-
atty was greater than Clyne's total
vote, and IN some precincts the vote
was in the proportion of 80 to in favor
OF Murdoch, while the ballots cast for
the Populist nominee might be classed
under the head of scattering" for they
amounted TO only a few hundred

Judgment Against the Kaiser.

>
That the sovereign is not above the
law In Germany has just been demon
strated by the supreme court of appeal
OF the empire, which has just issued a
Judgment against the Kaiser. The lat
ter some time ago closed path through
west Prussia which was bequeathed to
him some ten years ago by one of his
subjects. A local railroad company
found Itself IN consequence confronted
by such serious loss of receipts owing
to the difficulty of passengers in obtain
Ing access to the line without going
many miles around, that in order to
avert ruin.~ it instituted legal proceed
ings against the Kaiser, with the OBJ
1ect Of compelling him to reopen this
path, which had for generations been
used as public path by the people of
the district, the public, indeed, having
In this way acquired a legal right Of
way.
The lower courts decided against the
railroad company On the ground that no
action of this character could be taken
she sovereign but the COM
pany, with an independence somewhat
rare In Germany, carried the matter to
the supreme court of appeal of the Ger
man empire at Leipsic, and the latter
has just issued a decreeFeversing the
decisions OF the lower courts. holding
that the tribunals were perfectly COM
petent to determine the matter. and d.

Populists Were Missing.

Murdoch carried every county and
nearly every town and precinct in that
great district which a little more than
six years ago was the hotbed of Pop
ulism. IN fact the birthplace of the
Farmers Alliance. that erstwhile politi-
cal aggregation of misguided, bewhisk-
cred. impoverished. and grasshopper
ridden agriculturists, the forerunner
and herald of the Populist party.
Six years ago the district was wild with
theories. isms. and political fallacies.
The voters had defeated the Hon. Ches-
ter I. Long for Congress, the man who
has now been honored with seat in
the United States Senate, once held
by PETER. he of the long flowing beard.
Long was elected by q comparatively
small majority in 1893 over Simpson,
who removed to New Mexico. and is
patiently awaiting the admission OF that
Territory to Statehood. in order that he
may again enter politics.
Since that time the district has been
steadily increasing the Republican ma
jorities, until 1t returned u. 900 this
week, showing that Populism has prac-
tically disappeared In Bleeding Kansas,
and that the State may be counted as
safely Republican. as it was before the
days of the rise of Populism.

Gentlemanly Perjury.


Everyone is familiar with the code
OF ethics which renders it imperative
for a man to Derjure himself like a
gentleman" where the honor and good
name of woman are concerned. One
of the foremost of European statesmen
ruined brilliant political career by
failing to observe this precept, while
one of the most popular princes OF our
age owes much Of the public sympathy
and goodwill which he enjoys to the
fact that he is generally believed to
have ''pcrjured himself like gentle
man" for a fair lady in the divorce
court.
While this code of honor has always
been recognized by society, ii has never
until now received the approval of the
courts of law. But the Berlin tribunals
have just established a precedent in the
matter. For In sentencing Baron Erwin
Leow to a years Imprisonment for per
save the good name of his correspondent
in a divorce case, the tribunal has ex-
pressly exempted him from any loss Of
honor and from the civic degradation
which usually accompanies sentence
to jail for perjury.
Not to be behindhand in the matter,
the war department has intimated that
the baron Will not be deprived of his
commission as lieutenant of a crack cav
airy regiment in connection with the
conviction. The time spent in prison is
to be allowed him IN the way OF leave
of absence. 1t is extremely improbable
that he will complete his sentence. and
in view Of the action both of the GRIM
inaI court and of the military authori-
ties, bis early pardon by the Kaiser may
be regarded as practically assured.

''has not found as yet need to con-
Germ itself seriously in the develop
ment of the charges preferred by Mr..
Tulloch." 1t may be that providing
comfortable places at the public crib
for its employees is, in the opinion of
our contemporary, part of a respecta-
bic journals duties toward the tax
payer, whose interests it finds it con
venlent for other purposes to pretend
to have at heart; but, if it is, we can
discern, among the readers of The
Times at least, some very strong dis
sent to so philanthropic proposition.
Not even IN the case of doctors"
would they consent to relax their OPP
position to turning public office into
a private snap" In fact, we are
disposed to think and we apologize
IN advance to our contemporary for
this difference i'll opinion-t that the
public is greatly concerned, and right
~ so, in charges affecting the charac-
ter OF the Governments pay rolls. 1t
Is, III our opinion, something exceed
ingly serious if private" or "compli-
mentary" pay rolls exist, as charged.
and II the private or political or am
atory call it what you may obliga-
tons of politicians can be met by
drafts upon the public treasury.
Equally unfortunate is the "Stars"
contention that "there was no sub
stantial reason for the public to grow
excited over the question of large
deficiency" So extraordinary con-
tention, indeed, if applied to its own
business would have prevented the
Star" from ever erecting its present
building erected, as we have been
told, partly from public motives
or from ever becoming the landlord
OF the Government. We venture to
say, on the contrary, that the public
has every reason to grow excited
over the question Of a large deticien-
cy," when 1t reflects that part of
that deficiency is created by the rent
which the rural free delivery pays
into the Golfers Of the Evening Star
Company.
And while it is kind, no doubt, for
the "Star" to express its solicitude,
lest the public should come to grief in
unduly exciting itself over million
dollar deficiencies, we yet make bold
enough TO say that it is arrant non
sense-it is worse, it is a cold-blood-
ed, shameless and brazen defense of
graf" characterize this deliber-
ate violation of statute law by Mach
en- as ''only case of undue extension
Of authority by an insubordinate Off
cial."
In January last, we repeat, the
"Star" did us the honor to suggest
that we were engaged in Matchmaking
operations when we made certain
charges against the management of
the Postoffice Department. 1t has
taken the poor old lady-bless her
heart nearly five months to adjust
her spectacles and reach the conelu-
sion that "the developments Of the
Postoffice investigation
leave no doubt Of the need Of the In
quiry." Well, well! From man we
should demand-demand, that's the
word-an apology; and we should
get it, too. But in this case we can
only suggest it.
And now We suggest that the old
lady apologize.

tition in Difference to the persuasion =
of the judge being distinctly regarded
as an act of grace" and not of justice
For, as stated above, neither judge nor
court can compel the King; they can
merely advise him.
With regard TO the cases of what is
called public oppression is TO
say where the King violates the terms
of the constitutional law provides for
the Impeachment in parliament, the in
dietment, and for the inhiction of severe
punishment for those EVIL counselors"
who are responsible for the sovereigns
misconduct, it being taken for granted
by the law OF the land that the sovereign
cannot misuse his power without the adj
vice Of EVIL counselors." But the SOW
ereign himself cannot be held TO ac-
count for any such offense.

Made a Successful Run.

Glib Briggs came in from the POGO
TEMPO last evening, where the mill
has been used to make a run on the
Barney McCaffery claim. Glib says that
a handsome chunk Of gold amalgam is
the result. The run was even more
successful than the owners expected
and gives them a confidence in the
mine.
The mine has been worked by Ear
ney and a partner during the sum
mer months and the run was made
to demonstrate the value or the ores
that they are extracting. Some Of the
rock assayed way up in figures, but
Barney insisted in milling test be-
fore he ground out any more ore. From
the success of the present run it is
probable that a mill for the mine will
be erected. 1t is simply another one
Of the good things that are coming
to the surface in the section south

EXHIBIT ROOM NEEDED.

In this city it Is some place where the
products Of this county can be shown

There is hardly day passes but that
someone comes to town, either. on a

absolute lack of exhibits renders tina
casual informant powerless to show

county boasts of.
This week there has been at least
fifty strangers in this city. Some have
come in to look for government lands
Others came on a mine hunting mis-
sion, while one or two were here look
ing for agricultural lands in the imme-
date vicinity. The people they come
in contact with tell them of the min
eral and other resources that the
county boasts of but when they ask
