eg'Low BIRrn AND iRoS FoRrusK.-H Hon.
Andrew johnson, who has just been elected
to the U. s. Senate from Tennessee, to sue
ceed Hon. James G. Jones, presents in his
own person one Of the most remarkable ex-
amples Of what proper ambition may attain
under Republican institutions. His origin
was very obscure, and of educational advan-
tages in early life he had none. After he
married, his wife taught him his letters, and
while he prosecuted his calling as journey
man tailor, to support his family, he acquired
the simplest rudiments Of education. But
advancing step by step, reading with avidity,
studying closely, and striving constantly to
improve his condition, he has at last attained
one of the most eminent positions in the gift
Of bis countrymen. 1t will be remembered
he served in the U. S. House of Representa-
tives several years ago. AS legislator he
was industrious and practical, rather than
brilliant; but welded powerful influence in
the deliberations of the body. His faults
probably consists in excessive partizanship,
and that tendency to lliberality in the public
expenditures which oftentimes under the
name of economy" is disastrous to the in
terests of the country. In the higher and
broader sphere to which he is now elevated,
these faults may be modified and softened /;
but in any event, Mr.. johnson can hardly fail
to be most useful and laborious public SER
want.

AS Coop AS New BooK-The London
Leader mentions new trick Of the book
trade in EnglanS. 1t says when. after all
forms of putting have been exhausted in vain,
a book remains unsold, fresh title page is
printed. The lpme formerly called The
gal Mutiny.' Misery tale of appalling
interest, reappears as Woe Woe = work
which should be in every young lady's hands.
1t will come out next year as 'Eualine or,
the Story of an Anguished Heart" 1t does
not much matter, as far as the reader is con-
cerned, how much the booksellers resort TO
this practice. The readers of such books
only pursue them TO kill time, and book
with a new title is just as good as a new
book.
The Lawyers appear to be suffering in New
York from the crisis. Many large merchants
and business men, who have been in the ha-
bit of employing lawyers at fixed salaries, to
attend to all their necessary legal Business,
have failed and those who have not, either
through motives of interest or humanity, de-
cline to press their delinquent creditors in
such times as these. If they go to law now,
they are likely to recover little or nothing
by postpoing their claims, they may finally
obtain paym ent in full. or much larger per
centage than by forcing TO an immediate set
tlement. So those lawyers who are not lucky
enough to be made assignees, trustees or re-
ceivers, reap but little benefit from the CON-
mon catastrophe. When the lawyers get
skinned the times ara hard indeed. Pubic

Here we have the whole vote, including

Lynn County, and were registered and vo-

registry of oyer ten thousand! Now, Mr..
Walker, just repeat what you said at Tope-
ks, and sec whether it sounds well in this
connection.
"Why, the whole vote for your so-called
constitution, as claimed by yourselves, was
but 1884," out of over 10000. "The peo
plel Do you mean to tell me, that 1871
votes make Constitution for the whole
people Of Kansas?"
Well Mr.. Walker, if 1871 voters yea
and half ago, are not the people of Kan
sas and should not be permitted to make {
constitution for the people of Kansas, wha
would you think OF making constitution
by 1000 votersl Do you think that 1900
voters constitute the people of Kansas? Il
1871 voters year and a half ago did moi
fairly represent the people of Kansas how
can 1900 voters now, when the population
has increased ten fold, represent that peo-
pie? "Out of thine own mouth will Judge
thee" thou crafty special pleader.-Blads.

~B,eeding Kansas.v

This is the greeting which we are so fire.
quently saluted with. 1t is taunt, jeer,
a sneer, at the down-trodden, insulted and
people Of that territory and their
friends and sympathizers here. 1t is the
language of tyranny; it is fourd in the vo-
cabulary of none else but tyrants. Nobody
but tyrants mock at the subjugation ard OPP
preston of any people. Of the quail
ties as well as "of the thoughts of the
heart the mouth speaketh," Bleeding Kan
sas" is uttered with an air of triumph, evi-
IDENTIFY in the same spirit that their famous
prototype said ''a0e ,pW su5due you"
Now this is all right-right, that all have
a language indicative of the qualities and
impulses of the heart that none need be
deceived.
