The following is the expression of the Profess
sor and students of Mt. Union Seminary, on the
death Of VIM. Weston:
WHEREAS: 1t hath pleased the Great Author
Of human destiny to summon from earth, in the
morning of life, our beloved friend and fellow
student, William Weston, Of Augusta, Carroll CO.,
Ohio, Therefore:
Peso,geA That by this solemn event we are
more forcibly impressed with the bre,ily of life,
the certainty of death and the imperative necessity
Of a constant preparation to meet the King Of
TQrrors.
Peaolyed, That in his victorious death we rec.
orniza a most signal display of the power of the
Christian Religion TO sustain the dying saint,
which forever puts to open shame The stoical in
difference of InGlel philosophy.
Resolped, That in the departure of our friend,
we have lost an eslimablo companion, the church
an efficient latorer, literature a gifted intellect and
society a most worthy member, who bid fair to
become "A bright star in the galaxy Of mind.
Resolved, That we most sincerely sympathize
with the bercaved parents and friends of the deceas
cd: vet we rejoice that in his exemplary deport-
ment, Christian life and most triumphant death,
they have the full assurance that though they part,
they shall meet again.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be submitted for pubIicationto the Alliance Times

FIGLEY'S POST OFFICE.

Our article upon this subject week before last
seems to have brought our neighbor of the "Dem'
ocra,ic Citizen" down upon US fiat footed, but we
hope TO survive the "shock" and still live TO show
that every statement we made relative to tho same
IS true, and beyond the reach of successful contra
diction.
We then said that a large neishborhood had
been accommodated by the establishment Of the
Office, and consequently are much incommoded
by its adjustment. And we said forty two pa.
pers were taken from the Office Mt the time its eX-
istence was wiped out. To this poirt the "Dcm-
ocratic Citizen says that but IS newspapers were
reported to the department. Whether this be
the fact we have not the positive proof to the con-
trary but we have the assurance from thP mouth
of one who knows the tact, dat forty two pa

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE

As this body is being charged by certain Lo.
%coioco editors with having prolonged its Session
to an unusual length, it may be we'll enough to
remind these gentlemen Of facts as they appear on
record.
1t might be well for them to remember that the
LocofocJ Legislature of 1859, commenced its reg
u!ar session on tie 9th day Of January of that
year, aud closed on the third day Of Nav following
making a session Of four months, lacking two days
That this same Locoloco Legislature commenced
It's extra session Of that year, on the 10Th Of No
vember, and closed on he l4th day Of March fol.
lowing, being a session OF 4 months lacking one
day. Tha. the next aud last LococJco Lcgisla-
ture, being that Of 1854, commenced its session
January 2l, and closed May lst, making another
session Of four months, acking one ~day-while
this outIdudish Republican Legislature common.
ced its first session Jan. Z, 1856, and continued
10 April llth, a period Of only three months and
four days and commenced its extra session Janu-
uayy 1851, and continued to April 18Th, a period
Of only three months and Is days, or less than
three months and a half. Thus showing the two
sessions Of this Republican Legislature to be the
shortest Of any held in the State. by any Legisla-
lllc SllCG Tue 1cu 1910 OF lT lIG lSJ HlllG OF
ten years. The session Of i85O-5I continued
from December 2nd to March Goth, Just four
months lacking 7 days. That of 1913, from De-
cember Sd to March 25,h %justlour months, lacking
0 days. That of 1913, from December 4th, to
March Goth, nearly 4 months.
The above stubborn facts we copy from the
Xenia I0rchigM. They are a perfect and com.
pIete answer to the ]scnseles clamor of the Loco
foco press Of the State, about the waste of time,
and tie length of the session. We have read ev-
cry day for a fortnight in the Statesman railing
accusations against the Republican Legislature,
aud have been treated TO a daily promise in the
same paper, of a scath;ng review Of its enomities;
but as yet no bill ofporiculars has heon fled
we said when the session closed eve would
not defend all that was done, or that was left I'M
done by the Legislature" yet we are well assured
that, take the session as a whole, it will be found
upon. examination, TO have been one of the best
Legislatures that has been in this city for many
Yeas, while The moral tone ofthe members was
such as to command the respect Of all good men.

HOW GOV. WALKER Is GOING 10
PACIFY KANSAS-AN ENTIRELY
NEW PLAN.

wv PLAN'
Hon. Robert ]. Walker, instead of attending to
the serious and important post to which be has
been appointed, seems to be triling away his
time in New York city, in telling school boys how
he is going to govern Kansas and in receiving
adulatory rhymes on his anticipated success. On
Tuesday last he visited No. IL, one of the 10th
Ward Grammar Schools of New York city. The
Tribune reports as follows:
The Governor made a brief speech, in which he
stated that he had attended Public Schools in his
youth, and bad acted as tutor during his College
course, much to his own advancement. He said
it was his purpose to establish a liberal aud
thorough-organizol system Of Free Schools in
Kansas, as one of the best means Of securing the
pacifcation and prosperity of that distracted
Territory.
Visiting the Girls Department, they were
received with music. These little ones were put
through their PAGES, winding up with a march ant
Yankee Doodle" the chorus being whistled b.
the boys. This was too much for the Governor
who in aspeech forthwith declared that he neye.
saw a finer sight; that lis memory wo'd cling t
him when lie got TO Kansas, where he hoped t.
plant just such a noble system as No, II was
model specimen of.
This valiant carpet knight, this! ornamental
Governor, talks as though he would be Gar o
Kansas, and that the establishment of Ere,
Schools, and everything else there depended not OF
the squatter soyereigus, but on his sole will liz
talks prottily, and is brimfulI of theory, but men
of practical sense can not but begin to fear that
another great blunder has been.made in selecting
a Governor Of Kansas - Gin, Gazette.

Besides there were letters paid and sent from

And as 10 the question Of that office paying the
Department, we have not a doubt, but that it did
not pay. If that were the rule adopted, through
out the United States. our friends would not have
50 much room to complain. But how stands the
clse2 look into the Postmaster Generals report
and you Nll learn that Hundreds of post offices
n the North that do not pay their PEA expenses,
whilst in the South there are thousands that do
not pay their W expenses, nor do the entire income
of the southern Post Offices delray their own ex.
Denses and their mail carrying, whilst to take the
North, yes, the glorious, free and intelligent North
throughout its entire Post office arrangements,
and it pays its own expenses and a large portion
of the southern expenses out OF the tax upon the
reading intelligent people of the north, and be-
sides the south draws Npon the United States
Treasury for Millions OF Dollars!! Aad ! and
forsooth Il! this very economical Administration
through its small Gimbiet advisers have seen fit
to discontinue the Figley Office, because it cost the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA the enor-
nous sum of SIXTEEN dollars per year. A veil
so thiR amounts to no covering to every intelli-
gent mind. Why don't they, (the Department
and its adyise8) put it upon the true grounds?
The astute "Democrat' says, and doubtless too
truly, that certain set of "Resolutions'' were
adopted by the Republicans at a "meeting held
10 the post Office" Therein lies the objectionable
sin for which all that neighborhood must suffer
in the "lesh" so far forth as the southern whips
can reach their rascally backs! That is but an
inkling of their lily satiated desires. Men OF
