Osage Cur held a grand ratification meeting over the election of representee elect Admire, on last wendesday night and according to tlie Osage county Democrat, it was indulged in by all citizens without regard to politics and with an enthusiasm never witnessed in Osage county. After proper cermonies the great thronsr. headed by bands of music, repaired to the residence of J. V.

Admire who was introduced to the people tery neatly by.H. K. McCon. ncll, and that Mr. A.

Usage Cotnty Democrat Looking at the election returns from a republican standpoint the situation is decidedly cheerful. From Massachusetts to California there is an almost continuous succession of republican gains. The few losses due to local causes are insignificent when compared with the many surprises of the oilorite character. There is a mournful procession of defeated democrats.

Prominent in the list are the free trade advocates, Frank Hurd and Colonel Morris-son. Springer and Holman got there by "the skiD of their teeth. The democratic atmosphere, political, is full of farewells of the dying. The first democratic administration with which the nation has been afflicted since democratic statesmen plotted against the old flag in the cabinet of James Buchanan, has been tried twenty months and the country says "Hold! enough!" In Kansas the outlook is not at all discouraging for an "off year." In 1888 the republican party will "move along the whole line," drive in the pickets, charge over the rifle pits, capture the artillery, and wave again the old flag over the capitol and White House at Washington. Grover will have plenty of time to go fishing and we will have a man in his stead who will not "find it absolutely necessary to the proper performance of public duty" to close his ears and his office to those wTho may have business to transact with him.

Talk about simplicity. We have never had such au aristocrat, or one who lived so gorgeously, in the presidential chair since the foundation of the government. AND YET THERE IS ROOM. One of the most interesting statements in Major Sim's report of Kansas agriculture for the months of August and September, is that concerning the amount of land in the state remaining yacant and subject to entry under the various laws as follows: Rice county, 2,871 acres; Barton county, 3,975 acres; Pawnee county, 2,024 acres; Stafford county, 11,40 acres; Pratt county, 4,343 acres; Edwards county, 7,360 acres; Hodgeman county, 9,200 acres; Norton county, 160 acres; Graham county, 120 acres; Decatur county, 7G0 acres; Sheri dan county, 2,040 acres; Thomas county, 430 acres; Sherman county, 800 acres; Cheyenne county, 108,240 acres; Rawlins county, 43,880 acres; Lincoln county, 1,100 acres; Ottawa county, 40 acres; Ellsworth county, 320 acres; Russell county, 4,000 acres; Davis county, 40 acres; Chase county, 80 acres; Ford county, Clark county, 00,000 acres; Mead county, 60,000 acres; Finney county. 100,000 acres; Hamilton county, 175,000 acres; Seward county, 126,000 acres; Wallace county, 75,000 acres; Wichita county, 10,000 acres; Greeley county, 75,000 acres; Reno county, 5,000 acres; Sedgwick county, 200 acres; Butler county, 2,000 acres; Cowley county, 4,000 acres; Sumner countv.

To the Editor of The Chkonicle Some members of the forty-ninth congress are already in Washington, others are on the wav. in a few days all will have arrived and the legislative department of the government will resume work for a session that will last just three months. There are indications that the session will open industriously.

The chairman of the house committee on appropriations, Mr. Randall, proposes to come soon and get things in readiness for the meeting of his committee, which is to take place, if a quorum can be brought together, on the 22d. This is in order to have a bill ready to be reported at the opening of the session. Hon. Mr.

Hewitt says he is anxious to remain in congress as long as possible. He would have preferred to carry out his work here but the mayoralty was forced upon him. He wants to push the administrative tariff bill to passage before he resigns; and had hoped to remain in his seat after he had taken the oath of office as mayor, but by the legislature of New York a man cannot hold a federal and municipal office at the same time. The so called police scandal of Wash ington has attracted considerable attention and the president has taken hold of the mattei It is all about an alleged scheme of the city police to collect damaging facts about the private lives of congressmen, with a yiew to forcing them to vote for appropriations for the District of Columbia. If the story is not exagerated it affords insight into the demoralization of public affairs which has long existed in Washington.

The president's Boston trip seems to have done him good. He has been smiling and jovial ever since and unusually gracious to his East room callers. His country home has a new name "Oak View' It has been variously named by other people, but this time it is said to have been christened by the owner himself. Oak trees surround the house and it commands a picturesque view in all directions. ing to General Grant and bequeathed by ng Vanderbilt estate to the govern ment, are now being classified at the national museum, where they will soon be exhibited to the public.

The collection was packed in fifteen large boxes and will take a good deal of space when placed in glass cases. And space is the desideratum now at the museum. The director of the institution is loudly bewailing its wealth of resource and poverty of space, and says a new structure is an immediate and pressing necessity. In his annual estimates for the museum he asks congress to appropriate $250,000 for this purpose, proposing to flank the Smithsonian building on the west as the present museum flanks it on the east. The 100,000 feet of exhibition space in this building is found totally inadequate, and how to find room for the government mementoes and for the articles contributed by the Japanese government, now on their way here, illustrating all the useful and ornamental arts of that curious people, are among the problems which the museum authorities say they are unable to solve.

Thousands upon thousands of interesting objects, which are as truly a means of popular education as any of those already exhibited, are prepared to display now, but they have to remain stored away in cellars, crypts, and garrets. A number of wooden structures near by the museum are also packed from floor to ceiling with rich materials which have not been touched by the scientists. A hundred tons of exhibits from the Centennial exposition ten years ago which have not been opened. The officers say it is not intended or possible to put on exhibition more than a fraction of the mass of materials which will be in their possession. Manv of the exhibits will be but the indices of those held in reserve, which will remain packed with a view to economy of space and accessibility for study.

The museum has three principal sources of supply. 1st, By law all the collections made by the scientific bureaus of the government, the geological, ethnological, coast survey and fish commission become the property of the museum after they have seryed the original purposes of their collectors. 2d, Foreign museums in all parts of the world send off their surplus in exchange for surplus material shipped abroad. 3rd, Private collectors donate tke contents of their cabinets to an institution which is ex pected to have perfect facilities for study, comparison and display. The current accessions are sufficient to fill a little museum every year.

TlIUKSIAV, XOVEMUER 18, 1880. Jeff Lavis lias a chance to write another letter. lie has been accused of swindling his brother's grandchildren out of a large amount of property. The republican newspapers should let up on Colonel Moonlight. It is hardly right to kick a man after he has been downed by thirty thousand majority.

A. A. i kaiiam esq. at one time a resident of Burlingame, has bought rind will edit the Eskridge Democrat. The Chkonicle hopes Mr.

Graham will be successful in his new field of labor. Miss Mary Anderson has subscribed $2,500 for the relief of the Charleston sufferers. This places the distinguished actress ahead of the president of the United States as a practical sympathizer with a most unfortunate American community. A tree will bring forth good fruit and a corrupt tree evil fruit. The young men who have grown up out of the grand old republican party have a family record and tradition behind them of which they may well be proud.

We do not fear that they will shame their ancestry so long as they cling to the faith of their fathers. The Lawrence Tribune is of the opinion that with Mr. Ulake for president and Mr. Towderly for vice-president the republican party would sweep the country from Main to CJeorgia and from the Atlantic to the Pacific in 1SS8. We fear there is one serious obstacle in the way of such a combination.

Mr. 1'owderly, it is reported, is a democrat. Kkley. the colored candidate for auditor on the democratic state ticket, ran 336 votes behind Moonlight in Osage county. One Burlingame democrat became very indignant because The Chronicle made the statement a month before the election that the democrats wouldn't vote for a colored man.

The under handed light on Governor Martin by the Leavenworth Times is becoming dreadfully monotinous. Old Dan. Anthony wants to be governor of Kansas so awfuly bad that he cannot sleep nights for thinking about it. Anthony is a crank of the most despicable character and the sooner he goes over to the democracy the better it will be for the republican party of Kansas. The commissioners of Lyon county have called an election to be held De cember 20th.

in Ivey township for the purpose of voting $20,000 dollars aid to the the Kansas, Colorado Texas rail road. Admire City is a point named in the petition for the road to run to. This will giye the above named town a great big boom, and from its peculiar loca tionbeing from sixteen to twenty miles from any other town it must certainly make a good town. The industrial and financial ruin that were prophesied for Atlanta on account of its anti-liquor law are slow in com-ming. In fact, it seems improbable that they will ever come.

"The only says an Atlanta dispatch, "that has been driven out of the city is the rum industry." Since July 1, four new industrial enterprises, each employ ing many workers, have been establish ed. Of seventy liquor shops that have been vacated, fifty-three are now occu pied by tradesmen representing a variety of interests. Mr. Morrison is a very dangerous democrat, but he was a public man be fore Cleveland was sheriff. He was a soldier when Cleveland hired a substitute, and he was a congressman and, democrat as he was, a friend of Mr.

Lincoln's, when Mr. Dorsheimer was thinking of offering Cleveland an assistant district attorneyship. It is sublimely insolent for the president and his friends to assert that Mr. Morrison's criticisms of the administration are impudent. Mr.

Morrison is beat at home, but he ought not to be treated like a naughty boy by so iecent a creation as "Dan's" Cleveland. In the territory covered by the United States, there have been killed during l.0 years 900,000 persons. It is estima-ed that rum killed 7,700,000 persons. The great wars of the world for twenty-five years, from 18-52 to 1877. including the Franco-German war and our own civil war, cost a fraction over $12,000, 000,000.

The cost of intoxicants for the same period in the United States was more than $15,000,000,000 or more than $3,000,000,000 more than all the wars in the world, and for every thousand killed in battle rum kills 12,000. A couple of Chicago men are now making a tour of the west in the interest of one of the greatest snaps of mod em times. Their business is with milk men, to whom they sell receipts for manufacturing milk from cheap sugar in conjunction with water and certain drugs, for which they otten receive as high as 500. They made big money in St. Louis and other Missouri cities and are said to be working in Kansas at pres ent.

They claim that the bogus milk, which cannot be detected from the genuine, can be made for a half a cent gallon. NEW AD. NEXT WEEK. and that it was a grand scene of enjoyment, adding convincing evidence that the people of Osage City area unite in everything pertain-ingto the interests of the town. This is curious talk to come from the Demo crat which has been all along nibbling away at Mr Admire" heels Osage City must be get-tingreadyto pull something.

Osage Coun'y Republican. Forty-five votes against Mr. Admire in Osage City. This kicking in Lyndon is getting to be a trifle monotinons. The tact is that Osage City people gave it out "cold" before the election that if Mr.

Admire went to the legislature he went there not as a political partizan but in the interest of Osage City to try and change the present county seat law. Mr. Marshall is claimed to be a "dead duck" in Osage City simply because he did not violate his pledge and get the law changed. The progress and development of Kansas the past six years have been wonderful, greater in proportion than at any time except the few years following the war and far greaer than the aggregate than at any other period in the state's history. In 1SS0 we had 990,090 people.

The recent census makes our population over 1,400,000. The assess ment of property for taxable purposes Xow it is $277,119, G83.52 or an increase of over seventy per cent, in six years. In that time twelve new counties have been organized, large cities have been built, great lines of railroad have been constructed. Such an area of development has never been known in the history of this or any oth er land. If the present rate of growth kept up the next national census will show our state more than double in every element of prosperity, The southern democrats with the aid of brethern in the north are endeavor ing to start a presidential boom for John G.

Carlisle. They touch the ques tion very gently, however, with the exception of the Alexandria, Virginia Gazette, which boldly protests against the tail wagging the dog any longer, and claims that the candidate for president should come from the section which furnishes the "great bulk" of democratic electoral votes. With this em phatic declaration the Gazette proceeds to name John G. Carlisle as a favorite son of the south, who is fairly entitled to head the domocratio ticket in 1838. Here is the opinion of the leading democratic newspaper of the country concerning democratic losses at the recent election.

The New York World remarks as follows: "There is no disguising the fact that the country has been greatly disappointed at the comparative failure of the last and present congress to do what was expected of it. The taxes have not been reduced. Needed reforms have not been advanced. Long delayed legislation required for the wel fare of the country has perished on the files. The people hoped for better things a 1 wnen a uemocratic au ministration re inforced a democratic house.

Farmers lookout. The Lawrence Tribune says there is a gang of swind lers at work among the farmers of Missouri. They are selling barrels of sugar at half the regular price and in a little while the farmer's wife strikes a bed of salt upon which a few pounds of sugar have been reposing. Osage county is not often forgotten when a swindling outfit takes the road and The Chronicle hopes its readers will be on their guard. TiiETopeka State Journal nominates he Hon.

Thomas Ryan for speaker of the next congress. The Chronicle heartily endorses the nomination. There is of course, no possibility of electing Mr. Ryan to that position, the democrats having a majority in congress, but certainly no member of the house is more deserving the honor or more fitly qualified to perform the duties of speaker than Mr. Ryan.

All true prohibitionists who expect to accomplish any thing by their ballots vote the republican ticket. Third party supporters are becoming fewer every day. The fact is, the third party move ment is too thin for sensible republicans to adhere to. In our table of election returns we did Mr. C.

P. Felch a great injustice. The table puts his majorty at 514, it should have been 1514, only a difference of 1,000 which in these days of large republican majorities does not amount to much. If people troubled with colds, would take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral before going to church of places of entertainment, they would avoid coughing, greatly to the comfort of speakers and hearers. The Pectoral wonderfully increas-the power and ilexibillity of "the voice.

Stop and see the fine line of fall goods at Shepard Spaulding's. 98 4t. Ayer's Sarprilla works directly and promptly, to purify and enrich the blood, improve the appetite, strengthen the nerves, and brace up the system. It is, in the truest sence. an alterative medicine.
