THE KANSAS DEMOCRAT AND FARMERS' ADVOCATE, FRIDAY, JUNE 1873. The Incursion into Mexico. Sufficient time has elapsed since the McKenzie raid into Mexico to speculate with some degree of certainty as to its origin and probable results. The facts in a word are these Certain Kicja- poos of the wild kind, (the tame i heart from fear or favor. This is a bitter truth, but none the less truth.

The offal that is thrown to you, in the shape of county printings buys your silence just as the midnight burglar buys the silence of the faithful watch-dog with meat that is thrown to it. Neither can bark their mouths THE DEMOCRAT PRINTING OFFICE, IZt i9dersonH Opera Honae Building, Pennsylvania Avenue, IN DEPENDENCE, KANSAS-PEACOCK SONS, Proprietors. I children darted forth and joined in the surrender. Jack is about forty years old he is live feet eight inches high, and compactly built; he has a large well formed face and full individuality, and although dressed in old clothes he looks every inch a chief. He does not speak to anyone.

So this mighty affair is ended by the surrender of the captured army all told, Capt. Jack, two Indian braves, five squaws, and seven children. tional organization in politics now, and that is one of the great evil of the times. Liberty is maintained at the price of eternal vigilence. But how can thei be vigilence without organization In politics as w.ell as war, a small and well disciplined army is more than a match for a multitude of disorganized militia.

In the last general political contest, the world witnessed a party numbering probably less than one-fourth of the voting population, by discipline and with money, first bought North Carolina, then 1 variety living unu umwmg rations here in Kansas.) and the Li- pons, had a naoit, wnicn is chronic along the whole Mexican border with both greasers and Indians, of riding into Texas murdering, scalping and robbing and carrying their booty back on to Mexican soil. This served their purpose as a reservation, which according to General Sher man is a refuge and sanctuary for the red robbers. Col. McKenzie, commanding the Pth regiment of cavalry, and the youngest colonel in the United States service, on the occasion of their last raid, quietly ordered his command to mount, throw away all impeding baggage and and prepare for a light and he' led them by swift march across the Rio Grande and sixty miles into Mexico, where he fell upon and surprised the Kickapoos and Lipons, killing nineteen of them, capturing forty or fifty, together with a hundred or more horses stolen from Texas, and returned to camp. Col.

McKenzie has created an international problem doubtless, but he has done the people of the southwest an inestimable service. In this instance luckily, the led tape is to come after the remedy, instead of preceding and indefinitely retarding it. We gather the following interesting particulars from a New York Herald's special At the war department the report that Colonel McKenzie crossed the Rio Grande, invaded Mexican territory and captured property belonging to the Kickapoo Indians is a subject of this liveliest comment." The new president sent the following message to the French Assembly on monday: ''I am animated by respect for your wishes, and will always scrupulously execute them. The National Assembly had two great tasks the liberation of territory and the restoration of order. The first was ably conducted by my predecessor with heroic patience.

The country and I rely on you to accomplish the other. I shall follow the foreign policy of my prodecessor. I wish for peace and the reorgniza-tion of the army, desiring only to restore our strength and regain for France her rank among nations. The home policy will be resolutely conservative spirit. I will appoint to office respectors of the law, defend society against factions, and stand as a sentinel to see that your sovereign will is obeyed in its integrity." The new ministry is constituted as follows Minister of foreign affairs Duke de Broglie of justice M.

Ernoul; minister of the interior M. Beule minister of finance M. Pierre Magne; minister of war Gen. de Cissey minister of marine Admiral Dompierre d'Hornoy minister of public instruction and worship M. Batbie minister of public works M.

Deseilligny minister of agriculture and commerce M. Bouillerie. are full. You ride free to this convention over the railroad of a corporation notorious for its bad management. A complimentary to the theatre is the paltry price paid for an unfaithful and untrue critique of the performance, and you sell yourself, body and soul for an infinitesimally less sum than Judas received for the betrayal of his master.

The public contracts, for which the exorbitant bid of a favorite on slim security is preferred to the con-scientious bid of a master workman, is not exposed by the journal that advertises the bids. The rival over the way begins the howl. The fraud and corruption of your municipal bodies is not unmasked because you are a member of the ring. You quake with holy horror at the only symptom of virtue manifested by our legislators, in reforming our postal relations, whereby your privileges may be abridged, and break out bad eruptions of double-leaded indignation, with frowning black head-lines, over the salary steal of your poverty-stricken congressmen. On the title-page of your paper you fly such flaunting lies as The freedom of the press is the safeguard of the nation 4i Truth crushed to earth," and you prostitute the patriot's motto liive me liberty or give me death." You are bound hand aud foot.

The remorseless clamps of clique, party and corporation hold you fast. Anneke Jans' HeirsPedigree. Rev. E.

At Washington, June 2, President Grant manifests his high appreciation of Credit Mobilier John a Bingham, of Ohio, by appointing him minister to Japan. On the J31st of May, St. Joseph, Missouri, had a great joliiication over the opening of the bridge across the Missouri river for railroad and common use.

It was a great day among their many visitors, eloquent speeches, processions, eating, drinking, and a good time generally. The New Orleans Republican hopes that if Durrell is forced to resign in consequence of the misappropriation of the funds of bankrupt estates, President Grant will afford the serviceable judge, for his past courage in sustaining the Carey-Kellogg ring, a suitable reward by giving him a diplomatic appointment of foreign mission. ast Friday, Lawrence, Kansa had a big time welcoming the boys in blue. Large delegations from Topeka, Leavenworth, Ottawa, Kansas City, and elsewhere were present. The following gentlemen made brief and eloquent speeches in response to toasts Hon.

Judge Han-back, Col. Stover and others ad-nretsed the soldiers in the evening. A salute of one hundred guns was fired by the artillery at V2 o'clock under the direction oi' Corporal Charles E- Lee. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, dinner, the vast throng employed themselves interviewing the historic city. The.

telegraph reports Capt, Jack captured, June iirst, after a eeries of military manoeuvring, Colonel Perry surrounded the Indians and cut off their retreat. The telegraph announces with solemn gravity that Capt. Jack's men were bound to light. Suddenly a Modoc shot out from the vocks with a white flag. He met a Warm Spring, and said "Jack wanted to surrender." Scouts were sent to meet Jack.

He came out cautiously glared around him a few minutes, aad after giving up all hopes, he came forward and held out his hands, to his visitors. Then two of his warriors, live squaws and seven City Bonds. We again call attention to the special election to be held in this city on Tuesday next, the 10th instant, for the purpose of deciding whether Independence as a community will aid and encourage the location and establishment of one or more manufacturing establishments in our midst. We have nothing par ticular to add to our remarks of last week, on general principles and advantages. The particular branches of industry to be encouraged is a matter which each voter can settle for himself.

This is one of those elections which every citizen ought to cast his vote for or against the proposition, as he may feel in favor or against using the public credit for promoting the public welfare and increasing the price of property. By all means, everybody vote On this subject the public will ought to be clearly expressed. Let all minor considerations be subordinate to the public welfare. After the establishment and success of one or more manufactures in this city, "others will spring up through private enterprise, and in time Independence may become a great manufacturing city. Annexation of Northern Mexico.

It is believed that the recent dash of Col. McKenzie into Mexico after the Kickapoo Indians is a preliminary step to create a little unpleasantness with the Mexican governmentwhich will result in either war or annexation of Lower California, Chihuahua and Sonora. That the project has been developed in the fertile brain of Thomas Scott, president of the Texas Pacific railroad, advocated by Ben. F. Butler, and approved by President Grant.

This little scheme will bring under the jurisdiction of the United States 243,000 square miles of territory, and a little over 300,000 population, Mexican and Indian. The Texas Pacific company want the territory settled up with farm producers, for which business the roving tribes of Indians have but little sympathy. The salary grabbers will be gratified to have a Mexican difficulty to attract attention from their past sins, as well as open the way for fat army contracts and new steals. Monopolies. Protective tariff, Credit Mo-bilier, salary grabs, or something else has prostrated the value of farm products, depressed industry and well nigh bankrupt the people.

The republican politicians meet and denounce the rottenness and corruption of their own partisans preach reform and at once prepare to re-elect the same elements and sustain the unjust monopolies that are en riching the few at the expense of the labor of the country. The cohesive principle of public piun der holds the partisan rings together. There is only one na captured Pennsylvania. The defeated and scattered multitudes of the opposition surrendered almost without a struggle. From the time of the election until now our national politics and finances have grown worse and worse.

Constitution and laws are disregarded. Honesty is at a very large discount and the pressure on the tax burdened people is terrible. The farmers cry out against railroad monopolies, against commercial rings and even against their neighborhood merchant. The politicians have taken hold of farmers' clubs and attempt to manipulate their proceedings in harmony with the continued existence of present evils. The grange is the only institution that can effectually protect the farm interest and ehake off the corrupt influences that surround the political atmosphere of the present day, and at the same time educate the agriculturalist up to a higher appreciation of their interest and influence.

The farmers having long followed, are not now prepared to lead yet lead they must if they ever intend to get relief now is the time to organize. The sooner this thing is done the better. You can not delay your temporal interests, like your spiritual, to the last moment and then be saved. The man that refused to get on board of Noah's ark for a more favorable opportunity, never was heard of afterwards. The Editors.

The Hon. John J. Ingalls, Kansas United States senator, ad-dresing the late convocation of editors at Atchison, indulged in the following bachanalian bum-combe "Gentlemen, yon are nearly the supreme arbiters of the world's destiny, and of the fate of mankind. You make rulers. You control the fortunes of war and the industries of peace.

You reign over the Empire of the land and the Empire of the sea. You build and populate cities and states and nations. You are the monarchs of the realm of the mind, and the freer in political sway, the more absolute is your sovereignty. Your voice is the voice of the people, and the voice of the people is the voice of And what is most remarkable the aforesaid editors listened, cheered, and acted in every way as though they believed every word he said. That is the theory of the craft Avhen elevated.

The following somewhat modifies the picture: The editors of Ohio met the other day at Columbus, to take into consideration the interests of the profession in' that state, and during their session listened to the following home truths from Mr. Oscar X. Martin, formerly of the Springfield, Ohio, Advertiser, who was the orator of, the occasion. Mr. Martin said: There is not an editor here or elsewhere who is not writhing in chains, who does not dairy choke back sentiments -of an.
