Even the editor of the Local News is beginning to sharpen op his wits. the Lawrence Journal must be in hard straits when it Bends out circulars for stallions, folded in Its daily edition Besides being a violation of the postal laws, this comes with bad grace from a city that affects to be a modern Athens. That was a good precedent to the speech of Mr. Jngalls yesterday: The passage by the senate of a bill appropriating 9100,000 for a public building at Emporia. However, the democratic house is likely to slaughter it because Kansas was not one of the rebel states Not many people perhaps are aware that there is already a presidential ticket in the field.

The Industrial party met in convention at Washington 22 and nominated Albert E. Iledstone, of California, for President, and John Colvin, of Kansas, for Vice-President. A new temperance movement is be-gining to rise. The organized workmen of New York have declared that they will drink no beer, in order to assist the brewers' employes now out on a strike. A.

boycott of this kind, including whisky, would be a much more sensible move than any boycotte we have heretofore heard of.

Vooiuiees' argument in answer to Ingalls yesterday, although it may not have been very convincing, was extremely democratic.

He said: "The senator from Kansas is a great liar," and this argument, with variations, was his only answer to the flood of truth, with documentary proofs, that Ingalls poured on Voorhees' record. The Abilene Gazette is angry because the Associated Press did not give lengthy reports of the so-called capital removal convention held at Abilene. Mr. F. 1 Baker, president of the association, claims the entire thing was simply an advertising scheme to boom Abilene and the Gazette, and that, therefore, it did not come under the head of legitimate news, and Mr.

Baker was undoubtedly correct. TnAT is a let little story by associated press from Philadelphia, to the effect that General Joseph E. Johnson has been elected a member of Ed. Baker post. No.

One of the fundamental principals of the order is that. "No person shall be eligible to membership wno nas at any time borne arms against the United States." Our readers can set it down as bosh. Joe Johnson' is not, and never can be, a member of the G. A. It.

The thieves who broke into Col. Anthony's sub-basement the other evening and extracted therefrom a choice stock or. staple ana fancy spirits, were doubtless giving the retired editor a dose of his favorite "search and seiz ure" measure which he has so ile aired in public conventions. They cer tainly searched his premises and seized the contraband goods. If there is any merit in the latter part of this para graph credit will please be given Gov.

Senator Plvmu lay in the middle of Pennsylvania avenue yesterday morning, with a small crowd of curious spectators around him. He was in a most undignified position for a senator. but was in no way to blame.

Senator llumb is fond of horseback riding, and was engaged in his favorite sport. "While riding down Pennsylvania avenue his horse fell and tumbled the senator to the ground. He clung to the bridle and, remounting hurriedly, without stopping to brush off the dust, rode swiftly away. Some of his senatorial friends are thinking, however, of inducing him to take riding lessons. Chicago Tribune.

Ok Thursday last the board of aldermen of New York city passed over the mayor's veto the ordinance curtailing that official's power to prohibit the hoisting of other flags that the American on the city hall. The action of the council is the result of Hewitt's refusal to permit the flag of Ireland to wave alongside the stars and stripes on St. Patrick's day. Thia action by the aldermen may possibly have a bearing on future elections in that city, and it is possible that the board of aldermen may not last long who, by their action, would lead one to believe they revere the Irish flag more than the American. It Is astonishing how many otherwise well-informed, newspaper men give credence to the story of the rebel general Joe Johnston's admission into the G.

on whom the slain of treason has ever rested." I)f mrvrntic niwn that- ami jubilating over the matter, because they feel a sympathy with all rebels, can rest assured that neither Joe Johnston or any other rebel has become a member of the G. A. for the very simple reason that it was not in the power of a Philadelphia or any other G. A. R.

post to make him one. Commander-in-Chief lthea, and all his staff concurring, could not make him what the "Rules and Regulations" demand that every member shall be one who never raised his hand against the" government of the United States. But there is little wonder that democratic editors should be a little ignorant on G. A. R.

matters. Were it membership in the K. G.C. or K. K.K., possibly they would be better A FANATIC INDEED.

If the Fanatic man is anxious for notoriety, and really wants to be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail he most assuredly is taking the light course by publishing such a notice as the following In his vile guttersnipe: WARNING As this is one season of the year when families seek new homes. I consider it my duty to call the attention of all those thus seeking new homes to the unhealthy condition Emporia is in. For last week 353 sales of liquors were made, of which over 800 were for medical purposes. In the last four weeks over 147 gallons of intoxicating liquors were boIJ, and almost entirely for medical purposes, but a fraction being sold for mechanical or scientific purposes. Besides this private "prescribing," there are twenty-three physicians, who are not idle by any means.

It is a sad state of affairs, and everybody should be warned to keep away from this city until its sanitary condition improves. As my paper goes from Maine to California, and from Washington territory to Florida, I can feel satisfied that I have done my whole duty. Papers friendly to the cause of humanity will do well to notice this in their columns. The probabilities are the above was written by the fanatic for the purpose of obtaining some free advertising, in hopes of keeping his head above water, as we were informed last week that he had been out on the street canvassing for fundstating that if the "friends of temperance" did not put up he would be obliged to stop his paper. If so, we will help him by letting the people of Emporia know just what kind of a snake In the grass some of our misguided extremists have been led into assisting and warming into life only to sting them back.

That the above if published in every paper In the United States, would do our city the least bit of harm, can not be credited. It shows its false hood in its every word. It also shows to what extremes an unprincipled per son will go who is a "Fanatic" for what money he can squeeze out of others who are honest, although extreme, in their opinions. Nevertheless, it should be a warning to those who are aiding him in his ne farious works, and open their eyes to the fact that it is not "prohibition" he is working for. but the almighty dollar.

It to in just such manner that blackmailing sheets in large eastern cities have been run until squelched by the police. It Is indeed "a dirty dog" that bites the hand that feeds it, and this is vir tually what the Fanatic is attempting wuo. THE OOLOR LINE. Much capital has been thought to be made by democrats and democratic auxiliaries in the shape of so-called in dependent movements out of the fact that a colored nominee on the repub lican ticket at Topeka. was defeated while the rest of the ticket was victorious.

It was claimed that the republicans had use for the colored votes only when votes were wanted, and that no official or other reward were given them. The following letter by Prof. S. G. Watkins, one of Topeka's smartest and best educated colored men, throws a little light on the subject and shows that the colored people have little to complain of in that city at least, where there are two colored judges, eleven out of thirty policemen, eight colored firemen, on the paid department, and any number of others working on public works.

The letter we clip from the Ameri can Citizen, the new paper stalled at Topeka in the interests of democracy under the disguise of an independent movement in the interests of the color ed people. The editors of this paper are the parties who called a convention to meet in Emporia last week, and, after having notified the entire colored popu lation of the state of the meeting, at the last moment a day or two before the date withdrew the call and said there would be no convention. Several promenent colored men, however, came to attend, and went away disgusted with the promoters of the movement but still uncertain whom to blame, the call having been signed by two would be colored politicians in this city, and the recall signed by the saui. Both of them claim now to have beeu acting under instructions of the editor of the American citizen, in conjunction with the colored editor of a-paper published in Wichita. xouowing is l'roi.

watkins' answer to some of the American Citizen's ar guments in favor of the independent movement: Editoh of the Ameuican Citizen A so-called independent movement has been started among the colored people of Topeka. The object is to de- ieai uie renuDiican party at the ballot box this fall, especially in the election of county officers. In short, the leaders in this move aim to elect the democratic ticket this fall and the demo cratic city ticket next spring. The great question is, is this a wise ana judicious move? Does it not en danger our material and political pros perity in this city and county? May not the result be that, instead of the very large number of colored men and boys, many of them with their teams now employed at the city's and county's workSjWe shall have only a few employed? The movement is full of danger to us lor tne following reasons: (1) We have two justices of the peace, one In the city, the other in the county, elected by republican votes, These justices are doing a thriving Dusiness ana are a great credit to us. Judge Jamison will be a candidate for re-election next sprintr.

Mav not this independent move divide the vote and thus defeat him? Mav not the same prove true of Judge Overton also? (2) We now have eleven nolicemen out of thirty. Suppose the independent move succeeds. What will follow? Wliy, instead of eleven efficient nnlice officers we would have onlv two or three. (3) There is our colored fire de partmentthe pride of our city the child of the republican party. In it are eieht regular firemen.

mt not this move destroy it? May it not also cause our most excellent deputy sheriff. f. 11 I 1- 1 mi nugicuuiui, lu iub3 ins posiuonr jsesldes these there are two or three otners regularly employed by the coun ty making about twenty-five in all, who draw regular pay from the citv or county. There are also eight or ten of our leading men tilling positions at the state house, with credit to tuemseives and honor to us. Then look at the verv iaree number of col ored men, many of them with their boys and teams, employed at the city's vi iy.

ucio vuu uinjr 111 1.110 City and you see colored men doing public work. If this independent move suc ceeds tne great mass of these will be compelled to step down and seek em ployment elsewhere. I advise the men who are en mured in the move and all others to consider well the things above menuonea oeiore tney go lartner. May we not, indeed, is it not highly probable that we will, by an independent political move, kill the hen which now lays for us, each day, a golden egg? t. WATKINS.

Lyon county. I came to Lyon county twelve years ago remaining for nine years; then removed to JlcPherson county, thence to Garfield county.

We tarried for nearly three months at Oceanside. San Diego county. Visited the city of San Diego, the town of Escondids, Fall Brook, etc.

I was greatly disappointed in the country, climate and products. I had read the descriptions of real estate men, and thought I could surely believe half they said! I now conclude, that the "Day of will have to be extended into the "Years of Judgment," to clean npthe record of the "boomers" of Southern California. 1 imagine something like the following scene will then transpire, viz: Scene: The lower regions: Rap at door!

Diabolus A real estate broker! Great Scott! in Southern California! Did you sell that sand and sage brush for real estate? J.

S. Why, yes! Diabolus At what figures did you sell? J. 8. Business corners, per front, seventy-five to one twenty-five; residence lots, from one to three thousand dollars each; land, per acre from three to five miles from town five hundred to two thousand dollars. Uproar and excitement, muttered execrations, and final earnest consultation; and then Diabolus speaks with great indignation: Do you tell me you bad the cheek to ask such prices for such earth as that? And do you suppose we can fellowship one who has Allan tut lnwf 'Vvr? fAaiiln tn ser vants Here, take this wretched sand and sage brush vender into Arizona, tie him down to the biggest cactus you can find, and let the horued frogs, lizards, centipedes and coyotes keep him company.

But, enough. I like The News always did; and 1 hone it's shadow may never grow less. Very truly, F. Turkey. Hancock, Kansas, April 9, 1888.

April ISth, 1888. A VICTIM. While the boomers have been making money in California, some one has evidently had to suffer. The following from an old Emporian throws a litttle light on the Bubject: Editor News: This morninar mv mind wandered back to Emporia, and A Charleston newspaper recently asked eight ministers, of various denominations what they thought would be the fate of the heathen after death. Five of them, a Methodist, an Episcopalian, a Unitarian, a Catholic, and Jew, thought that those who were invincibly ignorant of the truths revealed by Christ, and who faithfully observed the Divine natural law.

aided by the light of reason and the grace of God, might be saved. A Scotch Presbyterian thought that all, heathen and Christian, who died without conversion, would be damned. A Presbyterian thought that the heathens would be judged by their own conscience: but doubted their salvation unless they were converted. A Baptist thought there was no salvation out of Christ, and that God had done enough to leave the heathen without excuse. Ex.

Death or rattrraon la California. The following is gleaned from a letter to the editor of this paper by Mr. Louis Dewees, formerly of this city, but now of California: National City, April 23, '88. Mrs. Mary J.

Patterson, wife of James Li. Patterson, living oue and one-half miles from Oneonta, San Diego county, California, died at her home Sunday. April 22, at 5 o'clock a. after an illness of three mouths, of abscess of the spleen, aged 3D years, 10 months and 22 days. Mrs.

Patterson leaves a devoted husband and six children to mourn her loss. It will be remembered that her oldest son was killed in the Southern California railroad yards at National Citv. on the 22d dav of January, 1888. Mr. and Mrs.

"Patterson have many friends in Emporia and Leavenworth, Kansas, as well as sonvi relatives, who will regret to learn of her untimely death. She was buried from the Catholic church in San Diego and laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery at Old Town, about four or five miles from the city of San Diego, at 9 o'clock a. m. April 24th, where her son Charley was hurried. Mrs.

Patterson was a devoted wife an affectionate mother and a kind neighbor. Mr. Patterson lived in the Tie Jauna valley sixteen miles south of San Diego. Leavenworth papers please copy. BElDIMi NEWHi Reading, April 30.

The closing exercises of the Reading public schools, last Saturday, were interesting and fully appreciated by an overflowing house of neighbors and friends gathered on the occasion. Prof. Stevens has given general satisfaction. He is master of the field and has given the studies his undivided attention. It is also a commendable act on his part and also all the teachers that they have spent Friday nights, learning not only to read music, but to sing.

The intermediate school, taught by Miss Sadie Holmes, has made good advancement. The primary school, taught by Miss Kennedy, was a success. The primary and intermediate schools were both consolidated into one in March, as Miss Kennedy, on account of poor health, had to give up teaching. Miss Holmes continued through the year with the work, and has sriven Brood satisfaction. Th.

From this it will be seen that the company covers a large portion of the country in its agencies and operations and the success attending its efforts indicate something of the magnitude of the business it will do in the auspicious future.

The above article is from Sunday morning's Republican, and on inquiry we find that our friend Bell, who is un donbtedly a rustler from ltustlerville has been doing even more in a quiet way than the article above alludes to. We were also informed that this was only a starter, and that some transactions would soon take place that would Estonian tne natives by their magni tude. To The Grand Army of the Republic Coltmbus, Ohio, April 24. The or ganization of this general council, and its preliminary plans and arrangements for entertainment of the officers, dele gates and visiting comrades of the Grand Army during its Twenty-second national encampment, were announced in circular No. 1, issued from this office on the 22d of February last.

For the further information of all concerned, additional announcements are now made as follows: The railways of the Central Traffic association have agreed to issue tickets to ail persons attending tne 22d nation al encampment at the rate of one cent per mule, going and returning, based upon tne shortest railway distance. The association has also agreed to return tents and other materials used at the encampment free of charge, the transportation of such equipage being thus reduced to a half-rate for the round trip. and equipage, will doubtless be granted by tne J. runs Western and outnern associations. Systematic and ample arrangements will be made here for handling baggage LKJL OU UU LU Ullllg 11, UUt lb IS respectiuuy suggested tliat the con venience of all concerned will be promoted by making their traveling encumbrances as light as actual necessity win permit.

The following pledge has been made in writing, by all the important hotels of this city: "We, the hotel proprie tors 01 me city 01 uoiumbus, hereby agree not to advance our usual charges or terms for meals, lodging, or use of rooms during the Twenty-second national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic." The entire city is being canvassed for the engagement, at fixed prices, of meals and lodging for the officers and delegates, and such other comrades of the Grand Army as may not desire to sojourn in tne noteis, or go into camp The price of meals in private families and boarding houses is 25, 35 and 50 cents per meal, and of lodgings 50 cents per day. It is very desirable that all applica tions ior private accommodations, both for officers and comrades of the Grand Army and for ladies of the Relief Corps, should be made as early as possible, stating the kind of accommoda tions wanted, and the number of per- bona to accommouatea. The meetings of the national en campment will be held in the Metropolitan Opera house, which has been engaged lor that purpose. The headquarters of the commander- ln-cmei, or. ail the department com manders, and of this general council during the encampment week, will be located in tne state capitol building where admirable rooms, anmlv suffi cient for this purpose, have been placed uii our uisposaj oy courtesy or tue om cers of the state.

This arrangement is deemed highly important, as it will bring all the headquarters near to gether, at the central point of the city. Admirable grounds for camping pur poses have been engaged, sufficient for the encampment of at least 100,000 men. These grounds all. lie within easy reach of the Central railway station, and also lie to-gether, or near each other, and are not over three-fonrths of a mile distant from the state capitol, where all the headquarters will be. This arrangement will spare the comrades the fatigue and inconvenience of travelling long distancee to find each other, or to visit the headquarters of their lespective departments.

The use of the public school buildings and grounds has been obtained for the reunion meetings of regiments and brigades. A large number of halls has been en gaged tor the une of such organizations as may desire to hire them for reunion, luugiug, or uiuer purposes, organi zations desiring to have halls reserved tor them should apply at once. The use of of the public school buildings will be given free of charge, as will also the headquarters rooms in the capitol. The society of the army of West Virginia having decided to hold its next annual reunion in this city. during the encampment week, the monster tent or that society will be pitched in a central part of the city and used for general camp-fires and other meetings.

This tent will con tain 15,000 persons. Plans of the various encampments are now nearly completed. The grounds will be apportioned by states, tne streets namea, ana tne tents nam be red. Each large delegation will be furnished with a plan of its camp, to gether with such information as wil enable each comrade of the delegation to find his camp readily. The tents will be pitched for occur.

a- tion, and will be provided, together wiui suiiw ior ueuuing, ana wooa ana water for camu use. all free of charra. The camps will be illuminated all night with electric liehts. will be thor oughly drained and policed, and will be arranged with suitable Platforms and spaces where open-air camp-fires may be held. All comrades intending- to sro into camp are earnestly enjoined to bring with them a sufficiency of blankets but no other baggage, when it can be avoided, which may not be readily carried in the hand.

Extensive dining halls will be erected at the large camps, where good meals will be furnished at a moderate price. There will also be numerous pablie dining halls throughout the city for general accommodation. The comrades should bv all means come in organized bodies whenever that is possible. Such organizations will greatly promote system, convenince and individual comfort. All organizations should report their numbers and requests to this office at the earliest possible date.

Organizations which propose to furnish their own equipage or provisions, and desire suitable camping grounds, should communicate with this office immediately. Suitable grounds and facilities will oe assigned them upon request officially made before May 31. The Grand Army posts of Ohio nearest to Columbus can materially assist the committee on camps by donating straw for bedding, 'and also by sending delegations of workmen to aid in putting the camps in order during the two or three weeks preceding the national encampment. They may also aid in regulating and guarding the camps during the encampment week, for which purpose a large force will be required. Donations of straw and other materials should be tendered before June 1, so that instructions as to their delivery may be given.

The parks and other public grounds will be kept free for the recreation of the city's guests. The grand parade of the Grand Army of the Republic will take place on Tuesday, September 11, and the national encampment will begin its sessions at the Metropolitan Opera house on Wednesday, September 12. Further particulars as to the programme for the week will be communicated to the Grand Army in due time. The national meeting of the Woman's Relief Corps will be held in the Second Presbyterian church, of this city, beginning on Wednesday, September 12. Arrangements will be made by which the ladies attending the meeting officers or delegates may have a noon lunch served to them near the church, thus saving their time, and greatly facilitating the transaction of their business.

The various headquarters of the Woman's Relief Corps will be located in apartments assigned to them in some of the largest churches in the city, not over two squares from the national meeting. Department and post commanders are respectfully requested to give this circular prompt and thorough publicity in their respective departments and posts. All communications should be addressed to the secretary of the general council, Ambos Building, Columbus, Ohio. By order of the general council. A.
