The Town Council have passed an Or

After all these years of toll we fear
Emporia will have to succumb. The
Cowley county Censor is after her. 1t
says Emporia men stumped Cofiey and
Greenwood counties against bonds to
railroads. We have only to inform the
little thing that it hes-that no man
from Emporia ever went into either OF
those counties to work against railroad
bonds or anything else. 1t further as
serts that Emporia is against every en-
terprise that is calculated to do good in
Southwestern Kansas. This comes
with poor grace from paper that is
largely supported by Emporia advertise
ments. We hope that none of our bus
mess houses will close till they hear fur
Their from the Censor. This is not the
first time we have heard of dog biting
the hand that fed it.

PHILLIPS ON GRANT,

Wendell Phillips has lately given his
views of President Grant. We give
them below, and think the estimate as
able as it is brief, although he UNDER
rates the ability of the first General of
our war and one of the ablest soldiers
now living:
''Grant embodies the sentiments of
the American people more fully than
any previous President. The politicians
of both parties distrust him, and there
lies his strength. His course SO far
would be approved on a popular vote.
1t is strong common sense, united to a
firm will and a true, patriotic spirit,
which has led him straight in the line
of duty the people desired he should
pursue. He is the strongest man in the
country to-day. Grant has the charac-
ter and the average brain which repre-
sents the loyalty and the intelligence of
the American people. If Chase had the
character of Grant and the democratic
party had the sense, he might have been
President; but Chase has no character,
his party has no confidence in him, and
did not know where to find him. Grant
is not brilliant nor popular man, but
brilliant and popular men with us have
OCth ClCIAC0 JAlC CAl1El 1ld&fc-
tracy. The people of America look
more to character than to brains and
brilliancy. Grant could never win such
love and admiration as were given to
Washington or to the first Napoleon
but he can make sure of that confidence
from the people which means that they
| believe the honor and interests of the
nation are safe in his hands. This i:
what / mean by character. Sumner
with all his ability couldn't rally cor.
poral's guard. The same may be said
of Wilson Trumbull, and other leaders
in the republican party. The man whC
reflects the sentiment of the larges
number and keeps it in the front ranl
| is the successful one. Grant answer
this description of man. 1 admit tina
/ he did not suit my views in the start
but say eheerfully now that he does
Geh. Grant is ahead of his party thel
have fallen behind him.

The damage done to the Cuban sugar
crop alone by the recent hurricanes will
have an effect reaching to every con-
sumner of that commodity. The four
districts that were devastated by the
storm produced $4,000 tons of sugar
in 1869, and their production for the
present season was estimated at 400 0C
tons. AS these districts are in narrow
section of the island it is feared that
their entire crop has been destroyed,
which will not only tend to raise the
price of sugar, but will diminish Spain's
revenues from Cuba.

The King of Spain, that is to be, pro-
viding the Spanish people approve, is
the Duke of Aosta, or Prince Amadeus,
as the reader chooses, the young man
answering to either name when the roll
is called. He is about twenty-five years
old, and is the second son of the King
of Italy, whose private morals, it is said,
he does not initiate, being on the whole
decently respectable person, and of
talent sufficient to earn moderate live
lihood if he had been brought up to a
trade, instead of having to live the shift
less life of the second son of King.
The young monarch, that may be, has
for one brother-in-law the King of Por-
tugal, and for another Prince Napoleon.
