At the beginning of 1890 before tbe enactment known, as the Sherman law was passed, the payment of duties at the custom houses in the United States was made almost en tirelyin gold certificates. About 95 per cent of all duties were paid in pa per redeemable directly in gold, and representing gold held by the treasury for redemption. The latest available statistics from the New York custom house show that payments of duties made there during the latter part of May consisted of 40.2 per cent of sil ver certificates, 35.3 per cent treasury notes issued under the Sherman act and 24.5 per cent greenbacks.

Net a single gold certificate found its way at this time into the treasury. It is easy to see which form of paper the business community is most anxious to get rid of, by paying it out for cus torn dues, and to measure tbe relative desirability of the different forms. The complete cessation of receipts of gold certificates, which constituted al most the whole volume of money paid in but three years ago, amounts to a financial revolution. It Is a "Water" Panic From American Investments. It wasn't a gold panic like Septein oer Nor a railway panic, like September IS.

Some say a silver panic: Utneis, a DanKers' collateral panic Still otners, a speculators' panic. None of these are correct. It was a simon-pure water panic! And the more we have of them the better.

It didn't squeeze the water out of anything that hadn't any water in it. The arguments in the case iostitut ed several months ago by United States District Attorney Ady, in the name of the United States against the railway combine known as tbe Trans missouri Freight association, have been made before the United States court of appeals at St. Paul, and the court has taken the questions under advisement and will render a decis ion in the course of two weeks. Toledo Blade: The latest achieve ment of idiocy is the proposition of a fool out in Kansas to abolish money and return to the plan in vogue thousands of years ago. He proposes to barter, not buy.

He accepted the nomina tion in a brilliaut speech, in which he roundly scored Mr. Cleveland's in decisive course, charging the financial troubles of the country as the direct result of the do nothing policy of the administration. Comptroller Eckels says ''I donot mean that an unsound bank shall start or run while I hold this office if 1 can help it.

A statement prepared by Comptrol ler Eckles shows that since January 1 up to June 1, 20 national banks, with a capital of $6,150,000, have failed, as against seven national banks, with capital of $625,000, for the correspond ing period of 1892. So far the only fraudulent pension ers unearthed by tbe administration are those put on the roll by attorney Drewry who is serving a term in jail naving peen sent mere for these very frauds by Republican officials many months ago.

Wearing the Arm Cap. Old United States army regulations say tnat the soldier cap should be worn jauntily, with a little slant over the right eye. The origin of that custom may have been in the attempt to shade the eye while aiming, but it as no longer observed, and, indeed. most officers would reprovo a soldier WHO tipped his cap or helmet con spicuously on one side. The Ameri can soldier offers a marked contrast In that respect to the English soldier or the Canadian militiaman, for they wear little "pork pie" hats that are tipped so far on one side that they would fall off at the slightest motion were it not for a strap beneath th Chin.

Trying to Steal Hia Glory. Londoners are trying to show that Benjamin Franklin was not the first experimenter in atmospheric electricity or the inventor of the light ning rod. It is said that a Catholic priest named Procopius Diwisch, as early as June 15, 1754, noticed that lightning was an electrio Bpark and worked out a complete theory of atmospheric electricity. At this time he was living in a small Bohemian village and he constructed a rod having 324 needle points, connecting tlje bottom of it to the earth. Why ha didn't advertise the fact at the time is not mentioned.

To-morrow the same man is caught between the jaws of the printing press and mangled and bruised, and the very same persons who applauded him before cry, "Down with the traitor! Down with him!" Belshazzar sits at the feast, the mighty men of Babylon sitting all around him. Wit sparkles like the wine, and the wine like the wit. Music roils up among the chandeliers, the chandeliers flash down on the decanters.

Ihe breath of hanging gardens floats in on the night air; the voice of revelry floats out. Amidst wreaths and tapestry and folded banners a finger writes. The march of a host is heard on the stairs. Laughter catches in the throat. A thousand hearts stop beating.

The blow is struck. The blood on the floor is richer hued than the wine on the table. The kingdom has departed. Belshazzar was no worse, perhaps, than hundreds of people in Babylon, but his position slew him. Oh, be content with just such a position as God has placed you in.

It may not be said of us, "He was a great general," or "He was an honored chieftain," or "He was mighty in worldly attainments;" but this thing may be said of you and me, "He was a good citizen, a faithful Christian, a friend of Jesus." And that in the last day will be the highest of all eulo-giums. I learn further from this subject that death comes to the summer-houBe. Eglon did not expect to die in that fine place. Amidst all the flower leaves that drifted like summer snow into the window; in the tinkle and the dash of the fountains; in the sound of a thousand leaves fluttering on one tree-branch; in the cool breeze that came up to shake feverish trouble out of the king's locks there was nothipg that spake of death, but there he died! In the winter when the snow is a shroud, and when the wind is a dirge, it is easy to think of our mortality; but when the weather is pleasant, and all our surroundings are agreeable, how difficult it is for us to appreciate the truth that we are mortal! And yet my text teaches that death does sometimes come to the summer-house. He is blind and cannot see the leaves.

He is deaf and cannot hear the fountains. Oh, if death would ask for victims, we could point him to hundreds of people who would rejoice to have him come. Push back the door of that hovel Look at that little child cold, and sick, and hungry. It has never heard the name of God but in blasphemy. Parents intoxicated, staggering around its straw bed.

Oh, Death, there is a mark for thee! Up with it into the light! Before these little feet stumble on life's pathway, give them rest Here is an aged man. He has done his work. He has done it gloriously. The companions of his youth are all gone, his children dead, he longs to be at reet, and wearily the days and nights pass. He says: "Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly." Oh, death, there is a mark for thee! Take from him the staff, and give him the sceptre! Cp with him into the light, where eyes never grow dim, and the air whitens not through the long years of eternity.

Ah, Death will not do that. Death turns back from the straw bed, and from the aged man ready for the skies, and comes to the sujnmer-house. What doest thou here, thou bony, ghastly monster, amidst this waving grass, r.nd under this sunlight sifting through the tree-branches? Children are at play. How quickly their feet go, and their locks toss in the wind. Father and mother stand at the side of the room looking on, enjoying their glee.

It does not seem possible that the wolf should ever break into that fold and carry off a lamb. Mean while an old archer stands looking through the thicket. He points his arrow at the brisrhtest of the group he is a sure marksman the bow bends, the arrow speeds! Hush now! The quick feet have stopped, and the locks toss no more in the wind. Laughter has cone out of the halL Death in the summer house Here is a father in mid-life; his com ing home at night is the signal for mirth. The children rush to tne door, and there are "books on the evening stand, and the hours pass away on glad feet.

There is nothinjr wanting in that home. Religion is there, sacrifices on the altar morning and night You look in that household andsav: "I cannot think of anything happier. I do not really believe the world is so sad a place as some people describe it to be. The scene changes. Father is sick.

The doors must be kept shut The death-watch chirps dolefully on the hearth. The children whisper and walk softly where once they romped. Passing the house late at night you see the quick glancing of lights from room to room. It is all over. Death in the summer-house! Here is an aged mother aged, but not lnnrm.

Some day she is very quiet one says she is not sick, bub something tells you, you will not much longer have mother. She will sit with you no more at the table, nor at the hearth. Her soul goes out so gently, you do not exactly know the moment of its going.

Fold the hands that have done so many kindnesses for you right over the heart that has beat with love toward you since before you were born. Let the pilgrim rest She is weary. Death in the summer-house! Gather about us what we will of comfort and luxury, when the pale messenger comes, he does not stop to look at the architecture of the house before he comes in; nor, entering, does he wait to examine the pictures we have gathered on the wall; or, bending over your pillow, he does not stop to see whether there is a color in the cheek, or e-entleness the eye, or intelli gence in the brow. But what of that? Must we stand forever mourning amonpr the graves of our dead? No! The people in Bengal bring cages of birds to the graves ox their dead, and then they open the cages, and the birds go sinirinir heavenward. So I would bring to the graves of your dead all -bright thoughts and congratula tions, and bid them think of victory and redemption.

I stamp on the bottom of the grave, and it breaks through into the light and the glory of heaven. The ancients used to think that tne straits entering the Bed Sea were very dangerous places, and they supposed that every ship that went through those straits would be destroyed, and they were in the habit of putting on weeds of mourning for those who had gone on that voyage, as though they were actually dead. Do you know what they called those straits? They call them the "Gate of Tears." Oh, I stand to-day at the gate of tears through which many of your loved ones have gone, and 1 want to tell you that all are. not shipwrecked that have gone through those straits into the great ocean stretching out beyond. The sound that comes from the other shore 'on still nights when we are wrapped in prayer makes me think that the departed are not dead.

We ere the dead we who toil; we who weer; we who sin we ar the dead. Hpw many hearts ache for human sorrow! this sound of breaking hearts that I hear all all a tout me! tnta last look DR. TALMAQE PREACHES THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL. ON Ehud, the Baler, and tbe Strength Physically and Morally The Great Dam-ace Attendant Upon Worldly Elevation. Brooklyn, June The sermon selected by tne Est.

Dr. Talmage for this forenoon Is founded On tie text. Judgn 8 15 "But hen the of Israel cried unto tbe Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud, the son ot Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-banded." Ekud was a ruler in Israel. He was left-handed and, what was peculiar about the tribe of Benjamin, to which he belonged, there were in it 700 left-handed men and yet, so dexterous had they all become in the use of the left hand, that the Bible says they could sling stones at a hair's breadth, and not miss. Well, there was a King by the name of Egion, who was au oppressor of Israel.

He imposed upon them a most outrageous tax. Ehud, the man of whom I first spoke, had a divine commission to destroy that oppressor. He came, pretending that he was going to pay the tax, and asked to see King Eglon. He was told he was in the summer-house, the place to which the King retired when it was too hot to sit in the palace. This summer-house was a place surrounded by flowers, and trees, and springing fountains, and warbling birds.

Ehud entered the summer-house, and said to Kin? Eylon that he had a secret errand with him. Immediately all the attendants were waved out of the royal presence King Eglon rises up to receive the messenger. Ehud, the left-handed man, puts his left hand to his right side, pulls out a dagger, and thrusts Eglon through until the haft went in after the blade. Eglon falls. Ehud comes forth to blow a trumpet of reoruit amidst the mountains of Ephraim; and a great host is marshalled, and proud Moab submits to the conqueror, and Israel is free.

So, Lord, let all thy enemies perishl So, Lord, let all thy friends triumph! I learn first from this subject, the power of left-handed men. There are some "men who, by physical organization, have as much strength in their left hand as in their right hand; but there is something in the writing of this text which implies that Ehud had some defect in his right band, which compelled him to use the left. Oh, the power of left-handed men! Genius is often self-observant, careful of itself, not given to much toll, burning incense to its own aggrandizement; while many a man, with no natural endowments, actually defective in physical and mental organization, has an earnestness for the right, a patient industry, an all-consuming perseverance, whioE aohieve marvels for the kingdom of Christ Though left-handed as Ehud, they can strike down a sin as great and imperial as Eglon. I have seen men of wealth gathering about them al their treasures, snuffing at the case df a world lying in wickedness, roughly ordering Lazarus off their door-step, sending their dogs, not tp lick his sores, but to hound him off their premises: catching all the pure rain of God's blessings into the Stagnant, ropy, frog-inhabited pool of their own selfishness right-handed men, worse than useless while many a man, with large heart and little pnrae, has, out of his limited means, made poverty leap for joy, and started an inffuanee that overspans the grave, and will swng round and round the throne of God, world without end: Amen. Ah me.

it is hig-h time that vou left- handed men, who have been longing for this gift, and that eloquence, and the other man's wealth, should take your left hand out of your pockets. Who made all these railroads? Who set up all these cities'? Who started all these churches, and schools, and asylums? Who has done the tug-g-ing, and running, and pulling? Men of no wonderful endowments, thousands of them acknowledging- themselves to be left-handed, and yet they Were earn est, and yet they were determined, and yet they were triumpnant. But I do not suppose that Ehud, the first time he took a sling in his left hand, could throw a stoae a hair's breadth, and not miss. I suppose it was practice that gave him the won derful dexterity, do forth to your spheres of duty, and be not discour aged if, in your first attempts, you miss the mark. Ehud missed it.

Take another stone, put it carefully into the sling, swing it around your head, take better aim, and the next time yon will strike the center. The first time a mason rings his trowel upon the brick he does not expect to put up a perfect wall The first time a carpenter sends the plane over a board, or drives a bit through a beam, he does not expect to make perfect execution. The first time a boy attempts a rhyme, he does not expect to cmm a "Italia Kookh, or a Liadv of tbe Lake. Do not be svprised if. in your first efforts at doing good, vou are not very largely successful- Understand hat usefulness is an art, a science, a trade.

There was an oculist performing a very diffcult operation on the human eye. A young doctor stood by and said, How easily you do that; it don't seem to cause vou any trouble at alL" "Ah, said the Old oculist, "it is very easy now, but I spoiled a hatful of eyes to learn that." Be not surprised if it takes some praetice before we can help men to moral eyesight, and bring them to a vision of the cross. Left-handed men to the work! Take the srospel for a sling, and faith and repentance for the amootb stone rcom tne brook; take sure aim, God direst the weapon, and irreat Goliaths will tumble before vou.

I learn also from this subject the lansrer of worldly elevation. This Eglongwas what the world called a great man. There were hundreds of Deonle Who would hava ennui rlsreil it the greatest hazx Uieir life lust to have him speak to them; yet although he is so high up in Worldly position he is not beyond the reach of Ehud's dag ger.

I see a great many people trying to climb un in social Tjositinri. an idea that there is a safe place somewhere far above, not knowing that the mountain of fame has a top like Mount Blanc, covered with perpetual snow.

What, my friends, if every winter had not its spring, and every -night its day, and every gloom its glow, and every bitter now its sweet hereafter! If you have been on the sea, you know, as the ship passes in the night, there is a phosphorescent track left behind it; and as the waters roll up, they toss with unimaginable splendor. Well, across this great ocean of human trouble Jesus walks. Oh, that in the phosphorescent track of his feet we might all follow and be illumined! There was a gentleman in the rail-car who saw in that same car three passengers of very different circumstances. The first was a manias.

He was carefully guarded by his attendants; his mind, like a ship dismasted, was beating against a dark, desolate coast, from which no help could come. The train stopped, and the man was taken out into the asylum, to waste away, perhaps, through years of gloom. The second passenger was a oulprit The outraged law had seized on him. As the cars jolted, the chains rattled. On his face were crime, depravity, and despair.

The train halted, and he was taken out to the penitentiary, to which he had been condemned. There was the third passenger, under far different circumstances. She was a bride. Every hour was gay as a marriage bell. Life glittered and beckoned.

Her companion was taking her to his father's house. The train halted. The old man was there to welcome her to her new home, and his white locks snowed down upon her as he sealed his words with a father's kiss. Quickly we fly toward eternity. Wa will soon be there.

Some leave this life condemned culprits. They refused a pardon, they carry their chains. Oh, may it be with us that, leaving this fleeting life for the next, we may find a Father ready to greet us to our new home and Him forever. That will be a marriage banquet! Father's welcome! Father's bosoinl Father's kiss! Heaven! heaven! A DOMESTIC EPISODB. Didn't Think Dropping a Flat-iron oc Her Foot Would Uart It.

"I called," said the lady patient, looking around in a mysterious manner, "to consult you, doctor, about my foot" "Yes?" said the doctor, stifling a yawn and looking at his watch. "Have you injured it in any way?" "Oh, no; but it pains constantly, and I can hardly get my shoe on." "Too small?" suggested the doctor, glancing cautiously in the direction of his patient's feet, which were invisible. "No, doctor;" my shoes are twice too large for me." "Perhaps that is the trouble?" suggested the doctor, looking as if he were trying to believe it "It is only one foot that is affected." "Perhaps you had better see a chiropodist," said the doctor. 'Oh, no, indeed; it's much more serious than that I can't imagine what it is, but it is really very painful" "And you say you have not injured it, madame?" "Never. You see, 1 ve not been in a railroad accident or a runaway, or been run over by an electric car, or anything.

I did drop a flat-iron on it one day when I was ironing, but it couldn't have been that couid it? "Well, I never," said the doctor, as he wrote out a prescription in Latin for mustard liniment; "of all sad things of life, a flat-iron is the saddes and the most fatal LOCKED IN A SAFE. Horrible Predicament of Man In Chicago Hotel. Paul Gore, of the Grand Paciflo hotel, was locked in a fireproof vault in the hotel office for half an hour one afternoon, according to the Chicago Tribune. It all came about, as Paul Gore himself explains, through trying to be too gay. Late in the afternoon a telegram was received from Colonel Frank Barrett in Helena, Mont, which re quested that his mail be forwarded and ending with these words: "Ther mometer fifty degrees below zero to day." Mr.

Vidal read aloud the end of the dispatch and there was a turning up of coat collars and audible shivers from the people who heard it Paul Gore was standing near. 'Til just fix myself now for this cold wave," he said, and seizing a small gas stove he carried it into the fireproof vault and slammed the in side door behind him. A minute later there was a pounding on the steel door. Mr. Vidal ran over to the vault and he heard faintly: "For heaven's sake, get that door open and let me out" Mr.

Vidal tried to open the door, but it was locked securely. "Who has the key?" he called through the door. "I have one and Colonel Parker has the other," came through the door. Colonel Parker's desk in the private office was locked and a search through the hotel failed to find mm. Half a dozen bell boys were dis patched in as many different direc tions, but one by one they returned with word that he could not be found.

Finally Colonel Parker came strolling in, and was surprised at tne warmtn of his greeting. It was like getting back from a transatlantic Voyage. The situation was explained, and he got his bunch of keys, and Paul Gore was restored to the arms of his loving friends. A REoss-Grown Road. It is interestingly illustrative of the remarkable progress in this era that the first line of railway built south of Liverpool, and on which Stephenson ran his famous engine, the "Kocket," was superseded by a new structure only about a week ago.

The line runs from Leicester to Swan-nington. It has always been a local line with little traffic, and it remains to-day in almost the primitive con dition of early days of railroading. The "Kocket" was brought to Leicester by canal for service on this road. The station was opened July 17, 1832. Railway tickets of metal were used, and some of these are still in exist ence.

A Nsw Use for Hairpins. It was the privilege the other day of two young women to put hairpins to a hitherto unmentioned use. While driving in Central park, New York, one of the wheels of their carriag-9 unwound itself from the axle and took Its departure in erratic solitude down the road. Fortunately, the vehicle was not overturned and the horses did not run away. The coachman re covered the wheel and replaced it, but he was unable to fasten it on because the pin was gone.

In a twinkling the women pulled out half a dozen hairpins, iaey were twisted into a substitute for the lost pia SE.d 'Id tie -HUn pkce. A) Twin mi wftfn tm.ii Hewton Weekly Kansan CHAS. H. KURTZ. SUBSCRIPTION 1 .50 A YEAR THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1893..

The Ohio Republican platform, because it advocates protection, affects the Kansas City Star just as the red rag does a mad bull.

'Assistant Attorney General" Allen is to be deposed by Attorney General Little who, according to the State Journal, does not want anybody in his office who persists in attaching the above quoted title to his name.

Southern editors who are rejoicing over the recent lynchings in Illinois and Indiana, should remember that those states joined the solid south last November, and are merely trying to keep up with the procession. Just now the Government has to take its pay for customs and other dues in silver paper chiefly. Three years ago, or a few weeks before tbe silver law of 1890 was passed, about 90 ter cent of these dues were paid in gold certilicates. It is that the certainty that congress is to oe cauea logeiunr ami the Dublication of the date upon which it is to meet will have strong effort in rpstjirinff rnnfidence in values and do much to dissipate the present ieeiing ui uueasiut-Bs. Clyde llattox, recently on trial for murder before the U.

S. court at Wichi ta, now out on bail, for whom so much sympathy was manifested, was arrest ed, last Wednesday, in the Territory, for highway robbery. This was ap parently misplaced sympathy, and when tried again for the capital offense, the-case will probably be deci ded on its merits. Peabody Graphic: A law was passed last winter to aid the miners of southwestern Kansas. The result is a strike and an incipient insurrection The pop labor commissioner predicted great bloodshed, and started at once for the scene of action.

This is the result of a lot of nincompoops meddling with something of which they know nothing. The wages of the miners, it is said hare been reduced nearly one- half by the law that was passed "in their interests." A few more fool leg islatures and there will be trouble in Kansas, sure enough. "Government" says Edmund Burke, is a device of human wisdom to pro vide for human wants." But this doesn't mean that "government" shall pay the debts of subjects, or fur mail them with homes and food, as claimed by the Populists. On the three principal grain crops, wheat, corn and oats, for 1S92, Iowa is the first state in tbe Union with grand total of 303 million bushels, Ill inois second with 268 millions, Kansas third with 230 millions, Nebraska fourth with 215 millions, Missouri fifth with 182 millions, Indiana sixth with 165 millions and Ohio seventh with 148 millions. It isn't often that both sides to a controversy appear to be right, yet it seems such is the faet in the JBriggs trouble.

Concisely stated this is the case: Dr. Briggs says there are errors In the Scriptures as we have them, The church called him to account for this and the doctor showed up the er rors that all doctors acknowledge are errors. Then the church flew the track and declaring the original Scrip tares are witnout errors, pronounced Dr. Briggs a heretic. Dr.

Briggs will not say that he believes what he does not and the church will not let him stay as an officer in it and teach what the church does not. "I never got any pension," said Col. Ingersoll. "I never wanted any pension. But I have often thought when I heard these old skinflints talk about pensions, what the American people would have said to the army on the third day of Gettysburg.

Would we not have to these poor soldiers, 'Stand firm. Drive these hosts back, and we will pour the treasures of the nation at your feet. No matter how shot and shell tear, carry high, and never one of you while you live shall want the luxuries of This is what we would have said to them. What would we have said to and his men when they passed Port St. Phillip and Jackson, and shot and shell were going through their vessel? We would have ssid, 'Sail on! Don't waver a hair, and by the gods yon Bhall t6T6 W8 ilSTB 1 If Kansas and her towns were first to project "a boom," it is equally true that her people and interests were the first to realize the squeeze of the sequel.

Her speculative inflation col lapsed long before the reaction was felt by other states. Kansas bad in reality liquidated before tbe obligations of other sections had fallen due, and to-day her people, her towns and all her interests, are down to bed rock, solidly, safe from any and all impend- troubles which may be threatening eastern corporations and the munci-palities of the Pacific coast. If the present stringency and uneasiness of cf the eastern money centers had oc curred two years ago it wou'd have meant ruin for Kansas, but two big crops for the farmers and a general ef fort upon the part of business men, combined with close economy and hedging all round, obligations have been met, speculative interests wiped out, values scaled down until a firm and secure footing has been found, so that, to-day, a very small per cent of Kansans, either farmer or business men, can be found who could be embarrassed or driven to the wall whatever might happen to the country at large in the way of a financial panic. Tbe bottom having been reached it would be difficult to get lower. There is absolutely no speculative risks being carried by Kansas people.

Business for three years has been done on spot cash. The farmer, as a rule, has not only cash in his pocket but grain in his bins, hogs in his pens, cattle in his pastures, and if mortgaged at all, interest paid to date. For two years past tbe average Kansas community has really been on such a footing as to take advantage of, and profit by the first wave of renewed prosperity that might come to the country at large, and, per force of her experience and of conditions, must retain such ground floor elation until she has won from her own inherent resources such prosperity. Our withers have been wrung however, the other galled jades may now wince, and from whatever circumstances. In short Kansas has had her leveling process, her cyclone, which, in sweeping away speculative superstructures and superficial debris has left her foundations clear and solid.

A NegTO Keply. In reply to Senator Ingalls syndicate letter declaring his belief that the experiment of freedom and the suffrage for the American negro had proved a failure, the Rev. Caesar A. A. Taylor, of Waters college, Jacksonville, Fla writes the Albany Evening Journal that he has contributed two pennies of the dates of 1861 and 1865 to tbe fund for the Liberty bell which is being cast at the Meneely foundry, and requests that the negro be not judged too harshly.

The Rev. Taylor says: The pennies bear the dates wherein an allwise providence provoked tbe nation to war in which the north and south paid to each a fearful price, expiating a national crime, and wiping out with blood the untruth of 1776, 'Liberty throughout the land." whereas one half of the Unicn had been a land of slaves. Accept towards the composition of "Liberty Bell" these two pennies on behalt of 6,000,000 freedmen and freemen whose ancestors contributed, as slaves their toil, their sweat and blood, as a foundation upon which America's greatness rests; on bebalf of a liberty-loving, patriotic, but long-suffering people whose ancestors toiled for 247 years as instruments of utilization in producing this country's ponderous wealth; on behalf of a wonderfully magnanimous people who only beg in return for 247 years of unrequited toil that the great American people, in spite of ex-Senator Jhn J. Ingalls, will not judge them harshly, but with charity, remembering that they were the victims of an ignorance with which they were overshadowed and degraded for 247 years, and were emancipated onlv 28 years ago. With a heart not of vengeance.but a conduct of meritorious entreaty for a just con sideration of our civil (not social) and political rights.

1 am for Christian ed ucation and practical gospel "through out the land unto all tbe inhabitants thereof." A Rebel Defeats a Patriot. Kansas City Gazette. An interesting row is likely between some of the Democrats concerning the treatment of Captain W. P. Hogarty, of Wyandotte county.

He was beaten after various promises had been made him, by E. W. Comb3 of Leavenworth, as chief of the appoinia.ent division, internal revenue, a place worth 12,250 per year. Combs is a Kentuckian. He has lived in Kansas only seven years.

He was something of a guerrilla on the confederate side, served in Morgan's rifle brigade and was captured and de tained as a prisoner for sixteen months in Chicago. He is a Kansas Prohibi tionist and a strong Democratic parti san. Capt. Hogarty's record presents a striking contrast to He en listed as a New York volunteer in 1861 and served through the war. He was breveted three times for gallant and meritorious conduct in action; received the congressional medal for distinguished gallantry at the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg; served on the staff of Gen.

Jeff C. Davis after the close of the war in 1366 and in 1867 was officially complimented by Gen. Davis for further distinguished conduct in capturing guerillas and des peradoes in Kentucky, and held im portant commands in the army after the war until 1875. The only ground alleged for his rejection Is the fact that the roar of the cannon in battle de prived him of hearing in one ear. In addition he has only one arm, but for six years he was auditing accounts in the army, and his physical defects did not materially interfere with his use fulness as a skillful and reliable su perior.
