opinion on reco; d, that he would NOT employ
one of ITEM to dig ditch, unless he was par
ticularly well acquainted with him.
Senator Davis, in the blsndest manner, de-
Tended the corps aud West Pointers in general
He thought an officer was all the better for be-
lug educated.
Toombs believed that the way they are edu-
Gated, away from the world, reuders them unfit

the price sfturnips. corn, wheat, potatoes, wood

not know.
Senator Haynes desires to give bis testimony

GREEN, or MlssoURI. There has
not been within memory . member Of
the United States Senate Who, in %
short . period Of time, has made 20
effectual mark As this gentleman.
He is . young man, has just entered
upon his political career, and he con-
tinues in the same course, will before
his term expires, become the leading
spirit Of that body in which he has al
ready won rich laurels. The position
taken by Green, of Missouri, that
mlnorities have rights, and majoritics
have responsibilities" suits us. 1t is
the true exposition Of committee mat
tiers, and we trust he will continue to
push the Lecompton matter ahead,
and thus settle question which would
have been dead and buried, were it not
for the position taken by few factious
persons who, out Of Kansas imbroglios
mean 70 manufacture political hobbies
upon which to trot into office. There
is other business of great Importance
to he considered and acted upon by
Congress, which but for this long spun
thread of Kansas shricking would
have been properly attended to ere
this.

HT The Delhi Democrat saws that
if other County Judges would follow the
example Of Judge Weston, in Swamp
land appointments, "the State would
be saved great deal Of unnecessary ex-
pense. We regard this Swamp Land
Agency as piece of trickcry that will
ultimately result with shame to the
State"
So we think. The creation Of the
office of Swamp Land Agent to act at
Washington for the different counties
of the State is the latest humbug in our
State.

FIRST BURNING OF Coal IN GRArE.-The

meeting in Wilkesbarre. Pa, to celebrate
the fifteenth anniversary of the first sue

coal in an open CRATE, by Judge Jesse Fell
Feb. IL. 1908. The meeting was held in
the same room, where is the same old crate

grandson of Judge Fell, was called to the
Chair, and VIM. Miner was appointed Sec.
rotary. Speeches were made, and apnro-
pirate resolutions passed. The following IL

blank leaf Of the Masonic Monitor:
February 18th, 1908, made the experi-

rFThe Gazette is again rampant

~The Gazette is again rampant
about Bleeding Kansas" It's klnk,
this time, is that President buchanan
did not submit the Lecompton Consti-
tuition to the people. Poor Sanders,
with his usual obtuscncss, confounds
the business Of the Constitutional Con-
vention with the duty of the federal
government. Because the Convention
did not submit the Constitution to the
people, he claims that James Buchanan
is a hypocrite, demagogue, liar and
scou ndrel, unworthy of the respect q
every citizen ofthe Republic. That's
the Gazette's logic. We wonder if
Sanders can ever be made to under
stand, that it is not in the power OF
the president to require that a consti-
tuition shall be submitted to the people
and that he has no more right to COM
pei the Lecompton Convention to sub.
NIT its work to the popular vote than
dictate laws to the State of Iowa. The
Gozette starts with the laundering.
false assumption, that the President
has absolute power over the Conyeu-
tions and Constitutions of Kansas, and
then in a leader Of nearly two columns
abuses him because he don't submit
the Lecompton Constitution to the
people. Before it essays another at.
tack on Mr.. Buchanan, we commend
to the Gazette an attentive persual o.
that part Of the Constitution prescrib.
ing the rights and duties of the Presi.
dent.
