The Draft.

With a meanness unparalleled, ex
cept in other acts by the same class ol
men, the adherents OF Lane in Kansas
are endssvoring TO give to that cowhid'
ed demagogue and libertine the credit
of saving our Sale from the draft. Ev'
cry intelligent man in Kansas knows
that to Gov. Carney and Adjutant Gen.
sral Dudley is due all the credit for
setting us right at Washington. The
official records, both at Topeka and
Washington. provs this. All the trou-
bic and doubt that ever surrounded the
question at all grew out Of Lsue's ir-
regular mode of recruiting; SO that he
Is responsiJle for all the signs Of a drefl
in Kansas. and no one else. But for the
base and reckless manner in which he
conducte bis part Of the recruiting bus
mss. we should have had ample credit
at Washington all the time for all men
due from the State. These are .facts.
Now while the official records show
beyond doubt that what We have said
is true. we make this distinct challenge
to the Lane press Of the State:
That they cannot produce . single
official docupent. properly authensis-
ated, which will show that either Lane
or Wilder have done anything to enti-
tie either of them to any credit towards
saving Kansas from draft. Yes. We
will 60 further, and say that We should
have had draft in this State for any
and all the attention Lane and Wilder
gave the subject, had il not been for
the lsbors Of Carney and Dudley. Now
bring your proof or cease your lying.
A literary thiefis universally regard
ed as worse than . sheep thief. by all
honorable men; but these Lane syce.
plants steel the lileray labors. the sta
tislical labors. and political thunder of
others and credit them 10 Lane as tho
it we're no crime!

These destructive insects are making

many parts Of Kansas. Even the wild

the trees in many places being covered
with them. The Atchison Press SAYS
that Mr.. Gaylord. nurseryman Of tha,

sPr'nk'ed over the branches aud quan-
tity OF the same put upon the bodies
OF the tree. This is easily tried. The
Wild plum trees in this vicinity are in
tested with them to such an exten. it
is feared the promise Of 6ne yield of
the fIuit this year is rendered very un-
certain. The pests should be destroy.
