Another Horse Stolen.

Gov. Denver has Just received letter
from Mr.. Robinson, Indian Agent for the
Delawares, stating that the horse of John
Ketchum, one of the Delaware Chiefs,
was stolen on the Both ult., by one Frank
Boin. The horse was of large size, and
a light bay color, black name and tail.
We would ask the people of Kansas
how much longer they intend to submit
to the depreciation of horse-thives in this
Territory Organized bands of thieves
and robbers infest different parts of the
Territory, and attempt to shield them
selves under the disguise of Free State Or
Pro- Slavery, and then it is heralded
through the States by set of truthless
letter writers, as a tremendous political
outrage. We repeat, how much longer
are the honest settlers to be troubled by
such scoundrels ?-Lecomptoa Democrat.
1t will be allowed so long as horse steal
ing is looked upon with appreciation by
certain partisan leaders, and the people
sustain those leaders. We have not
doubt but the statement of the Democrat
is true. Indeed horses are brought into
our principal towns every few days and
sold at auction for from one-ffth to one
half their real value. Purchasers buy
them with the understanding that they
do so at their own risk. These things are
common occurrences. Immediately after
the late Fort Scott difficulties horses were
almost drug in the market. And then
followed the appearance of the sufferers;
searching for lost animals. They could
hear of their having been in town, but no
traces could be had Of them afterwards.
For time it was customary to steal from
the opposite party, but this matter of ETH
quette is no longer observed, as was sppa-
rent in the Fort Scott difficulties.
Every owner of horses is subjected to
constant inconvenience because of this
to horse stealing. When they
have grown sufficiently weary of this con-
slant vigilance, holders of this kind of
will do as. was done in Iowa
last season-call con, ention of all per-
sons interested in putting stop to horse
stealing. AThey will thoroughly organ
ize by counties, with general organiza-
ton for the State. Then when horse is
stolen, measures will be taken to pass the
word Immediately from one extreme of
the Territory to the other. The thief
viii be arrested, tried by Judge Lynch,
and s,lamarily executed. Without prisons
or money to pay for convicting criminals,
and with constant depredations upon
property of this character, the necessity
for action will be apparent at an early
day-

as it not time that the people should
vote for men for office? Elect MEN in-
stead of deaagogues, time-servers, and
unprincipled things, who profess devotion

ue Reason. c;vsn

By letter from highly intelligent
gentleman in Washington, to friend in
this place, who has kindly placed it in
our hands to copy, it viii be seen that
the reasons given for the change in favor
of the Lecompton Swindle at Washing
ton, was owing to the action of the Ieaven-
worth Convention in inserting their doubt,
fuE clause in their Constitution, in regard
to the qualifications of voters. The black
law men viii rejoice over this defeat of
the Leavenworth Swindle, as viii all
persons who despise the double dealing
which portion of that convention at
tempted upon the people. There were
many good and true men in the Leaven-
worth Convention who labored night and
day to make a Constitution which the
people could consistently approve, carry
on its face the marks of honesty, and be
susceptible of single Interpretation; but
there was another class whose hopes of
Immortality were based on Topeka; who
struggled from first to last to make that
instrument a second edition of the Tope-
ka affair, but who had not manliness to do
it in an open way. They partially sue
ceeded, and the Leayenworth Constitution
is the consequence.
In January last, instead of advising the
forming of duplicate of the Topeka
government, We suggested the propriety
of asking Congress to pass law author
izing the Territorial Legislature to make
provision for the converting of new Con-
stitutional Convention That policy was
almost unanimously negstfved by the
Legislature under the advisemept of Gen.
Lane. Had it been followed, Kansas
would now have been relieved from this
embarrassment in which she is placed.

FOE The Herald Of freedom
A Trap-Den't sc, caught in ii.


In an article headed Protest, in your
neighbor's paper of April 18th, we observe
very ingenious trap set for the Herald of
Freedom. Our objectin writing this article
is to soar7a Mr.. BRowE against being caught
in it. The sheet alluded to, says Browns
commentator is fatal to any man in
Kansas" Here is bid for Puff from
the Herald. Could you be induced to say
word in praise of that paper, under the
suggestion that it would ruin it, the for
tune OF that journal would be made
This would doubtless be an easier method
of obtaining the public confidence than
performing thesrequisite labor necessary
to secure the enviabie position sought.
The editors of that paper have doubt
less two objects in setting this trap. First,
to gain position which itcould otherwise
never hope for, but by securing puff from
the Herald Of Freedom; and, second, by
commencing libel suit against the editor.
This would be easily sustained by show
ing that the puff was prompted by malice,
and then the asOnstrous trUthfalness of
any statement commendatory of that
sheet, would loose you the sympathy of
any honorable jury or court before whom
you would be brought
We therefore hope that the intended
puff may never be obtained first because,
it would be doing the public g, eat injustice,
and second it would be placing yourself in
very unpleasant predicament.
One word with reference to Gov. Cor as
your contemporary has it, DR.. Robinson
Recently it charged him with procuring
the writing of Gov. Grasses letter to the
Herald, aiding to pass the Lecompton
Constitution, calling him ga pretended Free
State man." &C., &c. "But seeing how
matters are working, and although, (here
it is Gov. Robinson) is not a perfect man."

TO do all they can to sustain him. >. "They
do not wish to see him injured at the
eleventh hour" Just SO. We have no
doubt they would much prefer the tueEfM
to the eleventh hour, the time when men
are rewarded for their long and weary
hours of toll. And accordingly we hear
not few persons who take their cue from
this sheet, saying they would not now
vote for Gov. r. for any Office whatever
We presume they too fare un,OiRing to see
him injured, and s0iU do eNtsey can to sus-
tain hint Good Kind souls, how we lore

Some of the radical presses are very
much exercised because we are printing
at our Office in Lawrence, the Statutes of
the late Territorial Legislature. We have
stated the fact that the contract was given
to s. ". DRrGGs & Co., because they could
avail themselves of the use of our jobbing
Office, and by this means the work could
be done In Kansas. There is no other
Office in the Territory, which has or could
obtain facilities in time for doing the work
in good style, az soon as it was demand
ed. fit had been given to Mr.. Ross, he
would have been compelled to go East to
get it executed, else it would have present
ed the appearance ofsome other jobs exc
cuted at his Office last winter, which, to
say the least, was disgrace to the typo
graphical art in Kansas.
By doing the job here, we shall expend
for labor, in Lawrence, about one hundred
and ten dollars week. These workmen
expend their money here and it enters in
to general circulation. Then there are
numberless expenses incurred in keeping
up the Office, in which every citizen de-
rives an advantage either directly or indi-
reetly.
Not our employees alone, but by doing
the work here we are enabled to furnish a
JOB of binding for Mr.. DoDswoRTH, which
will probably amount to, from $1,000 to
$500. Lawrence. derives the benefit
from this, as from everything else done in
connection with the job. Our policy has
been to build up business in Kansas

locate in that city; and that it was nm

there, and probably would do so were it
not for the apprehension of personal vio-
lence. The letter was written with view
of removing any suspicion of that char
acter, aud if Mr. G. would locate the Sur
yeyor Generals Office in that city, its sign
ers would pledge him ample protection.

Important from washington.

HAonANdTUS, April II, 1900.
DEAR SIR: - You NAV
tell all your friends in Kansas, that the
Lecompton Constitution is about to pass
both Houses of Congress. The coalition
in opposition to il. originally forced and
weak, and with nothing but principle and
hatred of villainy to stand upon. is plain
" giving way before the PATRONAGE and
threats of the administration. Myown
impression is that the government has
already got all the men they want, and
that about Wednesday next, the thing
will pass the House in the form of a re-
port from the Committee of Conference
which viii be appointed tomorrow. The
South Americans are said to have become
frightened by the proceedings of your
Constitutional Convention, in giving the
suffrage to negroes, as it is here said they
did do. Three of the six of this class
who have hitherto voted with us, it now
seems, intend to desert-also three Doug
las Democrats. Douglas himself remains
firm, and is working very hard, but in
vain. He is doomed Gov. Robinson
left here this afternoon for Massachusetts,.
Calhoun has pledged himself here, our
men from Kansas say, to give all the seats
in the Legislature but four to the Free
State men, and to submit to that body all
the returns for the Executive officers of
the State to the Legislature, which will of
course throw out the spurious returns
from Kickapoo. Shawnee, and other
places where the frauds were palpable.
For myself, I do not believe one word of
these things. do not believe Calhoun
has made the promises, nor that he will
keep them if he has. 1t is understood
that the President is tired of Calhoun.
and has refused to see him. He has also
told him, that he cannot give him any
other Office than that he now holds, and
that he must 60 back. which Calhoun has
promised to do. Upon the whole, L.
compton viii go through Congress
compton will be submitted to in Con-
gress-and Lecompton will be the organic
law of the State. Yours, X.
