KANSAS CONAENT


Judge Dana, of the Shawnee county
district court, has decided very proper
" that Tom Kelly. the state treasurer
OF kansas, did not steal certain money
which Haskins & Sells. q arm of ex-
pert accountants, say was short in
the state treasury. Certain bond-brokers
came forward and confessed TO having
taken the money. There is no question
as to the fact of the shortage. The
Gazette has never believed that Kelly
would be convicted of taking that mon
ey. But Kelly has plenty to answer
Tor without taking the matter into ae-
count which Judge Dana passed upon.
The Comanche county bond deal which
Joury of Il ment decided was a hood
ing transaction, is one Of those things.
me A r. Brown, mystery is another,
and the Vindtcation of Kelly by Judge
Dana does not help his reputation. A
man who Illegally uses nearly half
million dollars Of state money to help
a personal friend, as 10y did in de-
IS not TO be Whitewashed so easily.
Kelly publicly has stood for all that is
vicious in Kansas affairs. His influence
has been sordid, venal and crooked. He
oelongs to passing generation OF
Diackleg politicians who occupy the
same relation to the movements now
stirring the people that the scarlet Wo-
men of Babylon occupied toward the
Mosaic revival. 1t is sad to think that
a man with a capacity for industry and
with much personal charm which holds
friends and binds enemies to him in
fear of his power, should be so entire
~ wanting in moral sense He might
have done the world much good. As it
IS he has rewarded some friends and
has hurt some enemies, but he has only
money to show for the years of striv-
ing and fighting and scheming and
pickering that he calls his life There
is more good than bad in him or he
would have no power in the world
but so much good that was in him has
been wasted, and the world needs it,

NEW YORK AND MINING CAMPS.

Assistant State Attorney Mott, of
New York, has lately declared that
''the Thaw murder case is simply a
question of whether New York has got
down to the level of a mining camp
It is very clear that Mr.. Mott has no
expectation of ever going out west
among the mining camps or he would
not say that. They VIII not tamely
admit out there that New York can
ever reach their level by going
down. ''=Chicago Chronicle.

AN UNPLEASANT COMMENTARY

We want no mans head as a tro-
ply Of the legal hunt, but there should
be no hunt for the rich criminal
which moves along other lines than
those prescribed and followed for the
poor criminal. It is a most unpleas-
ant commentary upon the times in
which we live and upon the view SO
many take of the impartiality of the
courts. that there is a well-dehned be-
lief that the rich young murderer will
never be punished for his vicious
crime.@New Haven Register.
