The high motives which prompted him to sacrifice his own chances for party harmony will be remembered by the peuple of this district. It may seem a little strange, yet it is nevertheless a fact, that the brave and chivalrous Gen. Augusti, of Manila, who boasted that he would defend Manila with his life and would die before he would sur render, was the first to run and get away from the shot and sheli of the Americans. Augusti can be safely written down in history as a most conspicuous Spanish coward —Ex. es The news gatherer for the Kansas City Times struck arich item in W. H. Igou, the city scaveoger of But ler, who contemplates broadening his fields of usefulness by moving to that city. The Times dsvotes nearly a column of solid matter to their prospective acqusitior Senator Howard Gray, of Carth age, has brought suit for 3 cents against the Weetern Union Tele- graph company to test the right of that company under the new revenue law to force the patrons of the com. pany to furnish the revenue stamp that must be placed on each tele- gram before it is sent. Sam Jurden, of Warrensburg, con- sented to be sacrificed this year and he was nominated for congress against Judge DeArmond. Sam has no desire for the ‘flogging’ he is sure to get but the sweets of a deputy president are very alluring to some politicians and there are a few minor postoffices in this district yet to fill. The Record says that at the state republican convention Bates county will present the name of Judge Olark Wix for railroad commissioner. The Trves will add that the conven- tion could not do better in the selection of a man than to honor our fellow citizen, Judge Wix. He is an all round good man and from experi- ence we know that he accepts defeat with the best of grace. The city papers are discussing the name of Hon. W. W. Graves for su preme judge to fill the vacancy should Judge Williams resign, which he has declared bis intention to do. Governor Stephens could not appoint & man better qualitied for the bigh duties of the cflice or one more worthy of the hovor.

If we know the meaning of the term, ‘Middle of-the road’ as applied to recent politics, it is that of popu lists avoiding entangling alliances with all other parties. Now for a leader of the Middle of -the road-populists who opposed an allianee with the democrats on na- tional issues at the St Louis con vention, and afterwards made a dra matic pose and walked out of a state convention, to admit his ready ac quiesence in a county fusion with republicans seems incredible But to go further and disregard the posi- tive action of his own party conven- tion, and insist on doing that which it had declared against, is revolution, and we insist it can ba ca!led n> th- ing less Charles F.

The making of the law is preemi- nently a high and holy function. The people are blessed with good laws or cursed with bad ones, and the most illustrious names of history are law givers. Napoleon was a great general aud, while the world admired his military genius, less than a century has passed and he is denominated a “great robber,” and but for the fact that he gave to France the Code Napoleon his name would ere now be the synonym of infamy. But he caused to be enacted laws, contained in that code, which destroyed forever the exorbitant power of French nobility and blessed the people of France, and whatever may be said of bim and his ambition |as a man without a model and with- out a shadow, in the justice of the Code Napoleon he will live forever.
