ercome- This has caused much comment here at the capital, and
many from over the state, who have been here on business with the
departments, have viewed the situation with supreme disgust. An
ancient Oriental despot never forced a more abject servility to his
whims and caprices than the present governor has attempted to exact
of certain of the peoples' constituted officials in order to secure a
measure of fair treatment and curry favor with him. The people are
getling tired of it, too. and are demanding a governor who will de-
mean himself with the dignity becoming his high station and who
will treat other officials of the people with the courtesy and considera-

and complained with its throat and

appeared on the child’s back. but it
was not thought to have any connect-

throat. The abcess grew to large
proportions and it was decided by the
attending physicians that it should be

more capable of governing themselves.
