A dispatch from Cincinnati, Ohic,
says out OF the deep and lasting love
they bore their dead friend, Dr.. Emil
Rothe and Joseph Ranuer few days
since carried out to the letter wish
that is un 'q2ely be- ,ifu,; one that
probably has 20 parallel in the az
nails OF that city or State.
But as a prefix to this there must
needs DO a recitation OF one aspect OF
the life OF Captain Henry M=iSer. He
was lover Of nature; 8 man whose
being was wrapped up in the wonders
she unfoids to those who. having eyes,
can see. Tnat 1nfstuation took the
form Of q rever-en5ing love Of 6owers,
and it is in that the key to this story
is found.
During Captain N Users lie he
reared AID tended all sorts OF flowers
with q care that made him famcus as
an amateur horticulcurist. His spec
alty-if, in deed, be had one-wa,
roses, and these be grew in great pre-
fusion.
Captain Meiser died in May OF 1894.
aud his body was cremated. His ashes
were placed IN an urn, which reposed
upon the mantel In Emil R)ths'S
home.
Spring, with It's warm sunshine, and
tempered winds, awoke in the minds
OF these two men the recollection Of
what was practically Captain MeiSer's
last wish. With the recollection came
the regret that it had not been done
sooner, and. as balm to this feeling,
they decided to accomplish 1t at once.
They accordingly carri.d the urn con-
tanning the ashes OF the lover of ma
ture up to Eden Park. The howe,
bed on the blLf, near the waterwo,k,
pumping station, which overlooks the
OHIO River, va. :osen Is the one on
which the ashes OF the dead man
should be placed.
Reyereptly, and with the feeling
that they were in the presence OF
something sacred. these two scattered
their trends ashes upon that flower
he'd. And when the roses bloom
agsin beside the river" they hope to
get permission from the city au6hoei-
ties to Gull the wers and fulfill to
the letter the wishes Of gentleman,
q poet and lover uf nature.

a SENATOR'S coNTEmPT CASE.

Baltimore American.-The case of
United States Senator Patterson, Of
Colorado, who has been declared In
contempt by the supreme court of the
state of Colorado, promises to become
cause celebre. The senator is thu
proprietor OF newspaper which pre-
sumed to crtticise certain proceedings
OF the court to the extreme of printing
somewhat singing cartoon pictur-
tng the reverend Justices in an uncom-
pltmentary light, the work of art be-
Ing so distasteful that the senator was
held In contempt and fined $1,000, all
though 1t Is probable that he had no
knoWledge Of the pictorial portrayal
Until he saw 1t in his publication. The
matter was promptly brought to the
supreme court of the United States
which body has granted a writ of err
ror, Which operates as a supersedeas
and stays proceedings Of the state
bench until the case can be reviewed
In all its aspects.
1t has long been a mooted question
how far a judicial body, or member of
criticism to which all other public
officials are freely subject. BY COM
mon consent the unsoiled ernine is
held to be sacred, as the Judiciary are
assumed to be the embodiment OF
lrobity and impartiality. Any general
assault upon the integrity Of the bench
would be resented by communities,
states and the/nation, for in the Judi
ciary Of the land resides the last hope
OF the injured to secure square deal.
Since and before the time OF Lord
Bacon, however, who was called the
greatest and meanest Of men," cor
ruption and injustice have occasional
ly come to the surface in unexpected
places upon the judicial bench, and
especially in some Of the far western
states. Colorado and Montana being
conspicuous illustrations, many mem
bers of judicial bodies having shown
themselves to be worthy Of nothing
but contempt.
1t is gratifying that the case Of SEN
ator Patterson has been brought be-
fore the court Of all courts at Wash
ington. The nine justices who occupy
that bench, whose integrity is not to
be thought of as assailable, will be
face to face with the question whether
they or their brethren of the lesser
courts are in any circumstances to be
held up to ridicule or objurgation. 1t
is a new question for the supreme
court, and its decision is Of the ut
most Importance. A reform body in
Cincinnati has just addressed to one
Of the judges Of that city scathlng
note, more extreme in Its language,
p, obably, than was ever before sent to
judicial officer, and the general
tendency in very recent years has
been to place the Judiciary on level
with other officials in the matter of
criticism. An absorbing interest Will.
therefore, be felt in the opinion of the
supreme court in the Patterson case.
AS q universal proposition 1t may be
confidently asserted that Judge who
dispenses even-handed and absolutely
impartial Justice has nothing to fear
from even the most reckless and ribald
Of publications.

that every senator sounded public

The result of the ballot on the Cross
ley bill was defeat for the PROPOSE
ton by a vote of 20 to 81 The discus
sion was thorough and the bill was
carefully considered That it was de.
feated is credit to the Judgment OF
the senators who voted against it and
of the people they represent.
Iowa can well afford to postpone the
passage of primary bill pending the
trial of laws recently passed in other
states. When these have been tested,
If they are found to be successful and
wise, and If they would have the same
effects in Iowa, then there will be
plenty of time for this state to con.
slider the question whether it needs a
primary law The Courier does not
believe that Iowa wants or needs such
a law as the Crossley bill proposed.
1t is wrong in It's essentials. 1t pro-
vides for minority rule within the par
ties. This is wrong. 1t would make
it possible for cities to disfranchise
the residents of country districts as
far as votes in primary are concern
ed and this Is wrong. In fact the bill
had SO many weak and really bad feat
ures that it's failure should be the sub
ject Of self-congratulation on the part
Of every fair minded thinking voter in
Iowa.

No STATEWIDE PRIMARY.

After all, it seems that matters that
should come out right generally do
work around In such a way that they
come out as they should. The primary
bill is an instance. It was introduced
amid great deal Of oratory, as a
measure pro. bono publico. It was
taken up and pushed with enthusiasm
by public speakers who sought to con-
vince the people of the state that only
by means of the primary law could
they see their desires as to political
offices realized. In spite of the fact
that the primary laws already in force
are unsatisfactory and in spite of the
warnings from many sources that a
primary law in Iowa would be bad,
these self-appointed guardians of the
public veal talked and wrote over
time in efforts to popularize the Cross
ley bill. But It was all in vain. The
measure has died an early death in
the Iowa, senate after the most careful
consideration by the members of that
body. It is safe to say that there is
not single senator who did not hear
from several Of his constituents with
regard to the law. It is safe to say
