An Outrage.

It is most fragrant outrage that
the trains on the railroad are al
lowed to stand for hours at time
covering the crossings of the streets
90 that it impossible for people to
get from ono side Of town to the
other without crossing over the cars
or crawling under, and the city au-
thorities ought to sec that the mar
shal enforoes the city ordinances in
this respect. 1t has become the
custom for the school children who
live north Of the track to adopt one
or the other methods of crossing or
else they would frequently be late
for school, and it was due to this
that the sad accident Of Monday oc-
cured. It was fortunate indeed that
it proved no more serious, and some
thing should be done before worse
happens.

Turn on Tho Light.

Gov. Peabody will contest the
election Of Gov. Adams before the
General Assembly and we are fully
convinced that the democrat frauds
in the Denver vote will greatly over
come the apparent majority upon
which the office was given to Gov.
Adams temporarily.
But whatever may be the outcome
in so far as the title to the COVER
norship is concerned, the public well
fare demands that the light shall be
turned on the late Denver election
BY The legislature.
We want no governor with taint-
cd title. If Alva Adams WAS really
elected by an honest majority OF
even one vote he is entitled to hold
The Office for two years; If he was de
feated by a majority Of even one vote
he must give place to the man who
was elected.

A Divided Duty.

There is complaint among the
heirs of Philo s. Bennett Of Con
necticutt, of whose estate the Hon.
VIM. ]. Bryan is administrator, that
he is delinquent in the performance
Of his work. They insist that a
sufficient time has elapsed since his
appointment for the estate to haye
been wound up and division of the
property had. And they have gone
into court to ask an order on MIR.
Bryan directing him to administer
upon the estate of Philo s. Bennett
and to distribute the assets.
During the pendency OF these Pio-
ceedings in court the statement was
made that Mr.. Bryan had lately been
duck shooting in the Southwest, and
was expected to reach Jefferson City
Monday to be present at the inaugu
ration of Gov. Folk. The attorney
for the complaining heirs insisted that
the partition OF the estate should not
be delayed for such reasons, and in
timated rather broadly that Mr..
Bryan is neglecting his duty.
This, we take it, is an injustice to
Mr.. Bryan. The estate of the late
Mr.. Bennett is not the only o 10 upon
which Mr.. Bryan is called to admin
lister, There is the Democratic
party, hardly less dead than Mr..
Bennett. Mr.. Bryan is looked to by
the mourning family to do some
thing for them. To find an, :
thing upon which to administer is
Mr.. Bryan's perplexitY in that case,
but if anything could be found his
perple1ity would be greater as to
how it should be divided. The Ben
nett heirs should give Mr. Bryan u
chance He is probably doing the
best he can under his sense of q di-
vided duty.-Globe Democrat.

Nearly All change.

1t has been many years since there
was such q general turning over at
the court house as occurred yester-
day, Photographer Dsnning was on
hand to take photographs Of both
sets of officials and they didn't crack
the glass either.
In the clerks office, ]. F. Curry
and his deputy, A. E. Stream, gave
up their jobs to Geo. d. Robinson
and his deputy, j. W. Marker.
Treasurer w. w. Reynolds turned
his office over to J. 7. Adkins, but is
still in the list of officials as chair
man Of the new board of commits
sioners.
Sheriff f. M. Tate and Under
Sheriff j. H. Frisbie turned over
their Offices to g. H. Thomas and
Fred Lynch respectively
Judge O. W. Luck transferred his
judicial ermine to Judge G. H.
Thorne, but still retains his place as
district clerk.
Chairman J. X. Stevenson and w.
F. Mcpherson gave way as commits
sioners to their successors T. j. Say

splendid work for the county and are
deserving the praise and best wishes
Of the citizens in whatever walks of
life they may now enter.
The new men will also have the
good will of all as they commence
their official duties, and we believe

Richest American Soil.

Something frequently happens that
goes to prove the fertility Of the soil in
the Salt River valley. It is nothing
unusual to hear Of cutting several
crops OF one field in one season;
grapes frequently bear two crops and
so do figs. The latest, however, is re-
ported by James Goodwin. He mas ip
his yard tree that to the casual OBJ
server is only an ordinary pear tree.
It was nothing more than this to Mr.
Goodwin until this year. He had al
ways noticed that 1t was Of an early
variety. and this season along in May
q crop of pears was picked. A little
later his interest was aroused by motto
ing the tree in full bloom again. What
is still more interesting is that at the
present time the tree has another fully
matured crop Of pears on 1t which are
now ripening as well as did the first

Small Salary for Hiqh Office.

1t may be some comfort to laboring
men to know that the salary of the
poet laureate Of England is $3.50 a
year and hogshead Of wine thrown
in. OF course, this represents only a
fractional part of what Alfred Austin
really earns; still 1t is all that he gets
for being poet laureate to the English
speaking race. This salary is without
any prospect raise, although 1t was
increased to its present munificent
proportions when Lord Tennyson died.
Some time before his death it was de-
cided to increase his salary to that
amount, but the government did not
decide till after his death. Thus the
present poet laureate came in for the
raise intended for Lord Tennyson.

Question. Raised by Armed Conflict.

Questions Raised by Armed Conflict.
When men defend the principle of
war between nations or peoples they
are very apt to assert that questions
now and then arise that can be settled
only by the test Of physical force.
There may be such questions. but are
they ever the most fundamental to So
ciety and are the most fundamental
ever really settled by the sword?
Clearly. the great trouble with war
is that even when 1t does settle some
questions, such as political supremacy
or political autonomy or territorial
possession or control of trade routes,
Il almost invariably raises up other
questions quite as harassing. perhaps
as the ones originally the cause Of
