The present condition Of things in the
senate shows how completely public SEN
timent rules In this country. The SEN
ate from being Extensively arrogant
and Indifferent to public sentiment, has
become most responsive. It has made
the railroad rate bill much more radi-
cal and stringent than when it passed
the house. It has just passed the bill
prohibiting corporations from contribut-
ing to political funds. It put thru the
Beveridge meat inspection bill without
the slightest hesitation. It has passed
the pure food bill and the free alcohol
bill. In respect to other meas
ures Of Importance it has shown
that the prevailing opinion that the
senate was controlled by trusts and spe'
cial interests has been felt in that body
and that its members have become SEN
sible Of the fact that they were in dan
ger Of forcing the people to the adop-
ton of radical measures for senate re,
form. The thing, which7.has brought
this about is public opinion, and public
opinion is boss in this country, after all
All it needs is intelligent direction and
that it be frequently aroused. @

A farmer named Smith, of Kansas,

will vote for man for governor who

saddest thing about this is that on look

was 20 years old when the trouble with
Dixie began he did not wear the blue.

is growing less in quantity, tho In
quality it is as offensive as ever. Wheth.
or or not Mr.. William A. Harris would
make good governor for Kansas is q
live question, since he has one Of the
principal nominations for that Office
but it cannot be decided against him by
barking back to the time when he wore

since that time Kansas accepted him al

New York, june 12.-The curious sit
uation Of mans first wife, who had
obtained a decree Of absolute divorce,
coming to his aid and making affda-
Wit in his behalf, in opposition to the
second wife's application for alimony
and counsel fee in suit for separation,
was presented in the supreme court
when Justice Giegerich heard argument
on the alimony motion brought in be-
half Of Mrs. Matilda Won Horn against
her husband, George Won Horn.
George Won Horn is credited with be-
ing worth nearly 100000. He is also
said to have been friend Of the Ger
man emperor, formerly colonel in
the German army and member of
the advisory council.
In her affidavit, which was submit
ted to Justice Giegerich today, the first

"The awful charges made against
the defendant by the plaintiff are false
and untrue. The defendant is Of noble
character and not capable of doing the

The Unpatriotic Packers.

The country is assured that the house
will pass q meat inspection bill which
will have teeth, but in the same breath
lis informed that it will not be the Bey-
eridge bill The trouble with the Bev-
eridge bill in the house seems to be that
it has teeth and that they meet.
Chairman Wadsworth and Mr.. Lori
mer Of the agricultural committee are
said to have discovered what the pack
ers want and to be ready to explain it
to the committee. The first thing the
packers want is to saddle the expense
Of the inspection upon the government.
The probable result Of this was fairly
stated by the president. When the
public excitement has died out and
when congress is being bombarded to
curtail expenses there will be tenden-
cy to reduce the appropriation and to
neglect this work.
The attitude Of the packers Is still
that Of men who are full Of sulks and
obstinate determination to prevent eff.
fective legislation. Thissis not only
futile, but it is costing the packers
money. The country is going to have
inspection and inspection which will in
spect, and the packers might just as
well get ready for it. Instead Of max
ing faces at the president, whom they
accuse Of not handling the matter well
they should be in Washington helping
to put together right legislation. They
are not doing that, but thru the volun
teor services Of Chairman -Wadswortf
and Mr.. Lorimer they are delaying thu
| reporting of bill in the hope Of find
ing some way to beat the legislation.
| This is neither wise nor patriotic OF
the part Of the packers. They will pay
| for it themselves In loss Of business ant
loss Of credit with the cattlemen, who
having as great stake as the packers
| have come forward manfully and sub
mitted their idea Of a proper law, AM
have made but one request, that tn
law, whatever it shall be, shall b.
passed as quickly as possible.

Special to The Journal.
& Meers, s. D., June 12.-Surrounded
by thirty Infatuated ranchmen, on the
banks Of the Bad river, with rope tied
around his neck and the end thrown
over the limb of dead tree, alternately
pleading for his life and promising to
do anything the crowd might require,
Joseph Langner Of Yankton, s. D., came
near being lynched.
Langner was proceeding to his home
stead west Of here and Mrs. Langner,
frail, young woman, barefooted and
scantily clothed, was being forced. to
drive the stock. When they reached
Meers, she tainted and was found to
have severe bruises which she said
were caused by her husband beating
her with a board, in spite Of the fact
that she was in delicate condition.
Langner showed little concern, say
ing he would 60 on to his claim and
return for her next day, were she still
living. "And,' he added, tif she is
dead, all right 80
This was too much for the ranchmen
and they promptly lassoed the new
conner and dangled him from tree I'M
til he begged for mercy and promised
to return to Fort Pierre for a physi-
clan.
The physician came next day, but
Langner has not since been seen. Mrs.
Langner will live.
