The Kansas Relief Societies. Too Much
OF Good Thing.

The White Cloud (Kansas) Chief, a
respectable Republican paper, says:
Seed wheat and potatoes are needed
in Kansas, ard should be distributed
literally. Food is also undoubtedly
needed in the back counties, and should
be sent there. But we say, stop the
provision supplies for the river counties
at least many localities. What was
intended for favor, is becoming down.
right nuisance.
We know men who could have OBJ
tanned work at fair wages, the greater
part Of the winter, but refused it. They
arc living of the aid furnished from the
East. We know men who lie about the
doggeries every day, drinking whisky,
and selling whisky to the Indians, not
pretending to work for living-every
evening, when they 90 home, they
carry load OF aid with them! Some
men who had a slight disposition to
work, now refuse to do a thing as long
as they can get aid. One place not
many miles from here, was formerly
filled up with lazy, drunken loafers, who
could manage to pick up a living while
times were good, but who were COM
PEELED to scatter off into Missouri when
the drouth came. But aid supplies are
pouring into that place, and these loaf.
ers are crowding back thicker thaa ever,
aud are being supplied with liberal
hand. Formerly, they we're the very
men who endeavored TO run out or MUIR
der the persons who have been instru-
mental in procuring the aid. Another
locality in this Township, We hear, is
crowding full Of Missourians, who are
coming over TO live on Kansas aid.
Another matter OF complaint lie, that
gloved gentry in towns, who do not cul.
tivate an acre Of ground, are allowed a
full share Of seed wheat, while farmers
who saved bushel or two Of seed, by
living on corn bread, are refused any,
because, forsooth, they have some, and
are therefore compelledAo put up with
a crop Of from halt an acre to an acre
We repeat, this thing is getting to be
downright nuisance, and we hear it
from all quarters. Many a poor young
man who earns . subsistence by work.
ing by the day in the factories of New
York and New England, has contributed
almost months wages for the relief
of Kansas.
As far as provisions are concerned,
We believe there has been sufficient con-
tr'buted. If properly distributed, and
not used to ieed loafers, 1t will supply
all who need it. There are still large
quantities on the way; and those who
are still dlsma'ly pleading to the East
lcr more. are trembling lest the fountain
give out before their purses are sufficient
y iined. A few days frequently reveal
important things. The past week has
been perfect eye opening season Z"

A HARD HIT AT THE RRpuBL1cANs.-
In speaking of our political troubles, the
London Era Gays:
"If a light story may be used IN con-
nection with great subject, we may
say that the condition Of the free States
of the Republic of America, reminds one
of theatrical incident, said to have &C.
Cured. A very thin audience at a
country theater once ventured to hiss
the performances, on which the indig-
naut manager, rushed on with al bis
company and supernumeraries, and &C.
tually Kissed the audience off the boards
Of tie pit and sewhere-hisscd the N
ont of the house. So the seeding
States are likely to do with the tree
States"
tseems as if the foreign press gener-
ally was determined not to look upon
our troubles At all in the light that our
Republicans desire. How cruel, that

patty was expected little or none i re-
ceived.
