London, oct 27.--Dispatches from

firing on the North sea fishing vessels;
that II was initiated by subordinates

the Russians commanders signaled to
the trawers asking who and what
they were, and the signals being dis

Guided they were in the presence Of

it is reported that Mr.. Burton declared
his belief that he would some day sit
in a seat in the senate of the United
States. He contemplated at that time,
so it is asserted. opposing Mr. ingalls,
in 1891, when the latter should come up
for reelection to his fourth term.
Even in 1890, the year of the Popul1st
avalanche in Kansas. it is probably cor
rect that Mr.. Burton had some notion
of attempting to succeed Mr.. ingalls,,
and he made a campaign of the state
that year with unusual care.
But 1891 came, and Mr.. ingalls, was
given the Republican caucus nom1n-
alton for senator-the handful of votes
of his party that the legislature con-
tanned that first Populist year.
Mr.. Ingalls, retired from public life.
He may have been unwise as defeated
statesman-he probably was. Most de-
their defeat, and say Incorporate and
injudicious things. Mr.. ingalls, was no
exception. But he entered the lecture
and writing field, and was successful.
full of integrity. No one ever question
ed Mr.. ingalls, character.
In 1896, there was about to be elected
another United States senator. The
term of Mr.. PETER, who had succeeded
Mr.. ingalls,, was about to expire. Mr..
ingalls, desired to return to the senate.
He announced that he would be can
didate. He was a candidate. He made
the campaign OF the state with Indl III
tention. Mr.. Burton, who had been de-
feated by Mr.. Baker for election in the
Republican legislature of 1895. also an
nounced his candidacy
The election resulted in a victory for
the Populists. Neither Mr.. Ingalls, nor
Mr.. Burton could go to the senate.
But inconsequential as was the honor
of the Republican caucus nomination,
Mr.. Burton was insistent that he, not
the man who had served so long as
senator, should have it. And Mr.. Bur
ton got that caucus nomination in
18e7-but only after fight Quite a
number of Republican senators and
members of the house desired to vote
for Mr.. Ingalls,, but the caucus de-
cided otherwise. and Mr.. Burton got
the empty honor.
Thus the two Kansas senators have
come In contact with each other, time
and again. But the latest contact
was this week, when the one who sue
eeeded a few years ago over his older
adversary is on trial for his seat. his
honor, his political future, and his
right hereafter to hold office under
the United States; while the other SEN
ator, the dead one, is about to have
perpetuated the memory of his life
and his distinguished services to his
state and to his country.

IFrom the Topeka Capital Rep.)
80 Dec. 81
There is nothing wrong with the Kan
sas ballot law. That is to say it is as
nearly perfect as any law designed to
affect all classes and conditions can be
after brief trial of two years. The
man who can not vote the Kansas bal
lot is not intelligent enough to exer-
else the right of suffrage. If he can not
understand it the problem of govern
ment is too great for him. One who
desires to vote in Kansas has but two
propositions to remember. If he would
vote a straight ticket he makes cross
in the circle under the emblem. If he
would vote split ticket he makes a
cross opposite the name of each can
didate for whom he desires to vote.
How can the ballot be safeguarded
and at the same time made simpler?
The man who is adept at picking flaws
ought also to be versatile in finding
remedies.
There is nothing wrong with the
Kansas ballot law, save possibly some
minor imperfections which can be rem
edied as soon as their nature is definite
ly settled upon A dozen other states
have practically the same law. In fact
the Kansas law is in all of it's essen
tial details a copy of the New York
law with certain phases of the Montana
ballot added. The members of the Kan
sas delegation in congress put in three
or four months compiling it and in the
judgment of practically all of the lead
ers of the Republican party it as nearly
fills the bill as any ballot could be
which takes into account the ramifica-
tions of the Australian system The
theory that the law is a disgrace is a
foolish theory.

The rule of the Crawford theatrical
syndicate to get the highest price pos
sible for the smallest cost is again ex-
hibited in the announcement that the
old English morality play ''Everyman"
will be given here one night next week
at prices ranging up to 81 for parquet
seats.
"Everyman'' was, in its day, one of
the best plays ever put on for those
who were making a study of the stage
and the drama. 1t is a good play for
dramatic students if it is presented by
a company of competent actors.
The company which will present it in
Topeka, however, has been playing the
tank circuit IN Kansas, and does not
