cause he could not get chance in the
steal, while at che same time he favored
another to keep pace with the thieving
ring composed of himself and Pomeroy.
POmeroy got about 100000 acres of that
land, and of course Clarke must help
him get it through. That's the reason
that old Pomeroy is now writing letters
to all his friends in Kansas to come up
to the support of Clarke.
The above treaties containing the pro-
visions which we have named, have all
been ratified during Mr.. Clarke's Con-
gressional career. Did any one ever
hear a note of opposition to single one
of them from his lips? Not only did
he not oppose them, but he favored
them.
On top of this record on land grant
swindles, he is claiming to have
been the settlers friend. These claims
are paraded in big head lines in his
newspapers, which we are glad to say,
for the sake of the profession, are nei-
Their respectable in number or talent.
There is q radical inconsistency between
his record and his claim of being a
friend to the poor, that cannot be ex-
planned away bv thinking people. He
is guilty of degree Of duplicity and
charlatanisIn which should not pass
current as true coin in Kansas.
Now, it is urged by Mr.. Clarke's
newspapers that he ought to go back to
Congress because of his experience and
influence. What has that experience
and influence cost Kansas? Add to.
gether the amounts of land given away
to spectators for song, in the above
treaties, and it will be found dear ex
perience for Kansas. 1t will be seer
that Mr.. Clarke's valuable experience
SO far as his efforts have gone, has cos

We use our pen for the overthrow o
Mr.. Clarke because he is the wrong maj
to send to Congress. We want the PEG
pie to read and ponder before they cleo

BELGIUM.
The Little Kingdom that Napoleon Hun
gers For.

The kingdum of Belgium contains a
little more than 1000 square miles, up
OH each one of which dwell an average
of 433 persons, making it the most
densely populated country in Europe.
Its army numbers about $4,000 men,
and half dozen vessels comprise it's
navy. The prevailing religion is the
Roman Catholic, and the French Ian
guage is generally spoken. After long
subsection to Spain and Austria, and a
forced submission to France under the
first Napoleon, Belgium was united to
Holland in 1915. The connection was
very unpleasant, however, and in 1880
the Belgians revolted. Three years Ia
ter their independence was guaranteed,
and a king furnished them in the per-
son of Leopold, of SaxeCoburg, the
bereaved husband of the Princess Char
lotte, of England. He was sagacious
monarch, and, though Protestant, was
popular among his Catholic subjects.
He married daughter of Louis Philip
pc, of France, and died about five years
ago, leaving his eldest son King in his
stead. His daughter is the unhappy
widow of Macmillan, of Austria, Ma
poleon's puppet in the invasion of Mex
leo. The late King Leopold was the IA
vorite uncle of Queen Victoria, and
hence family sympathies combine with
political necessities in making Great
Britain exceedingly solicitous for the
welfare of Belgium. Should Napoleon
pounce on the Kingdom, either he or
Prussia would swallow up Holland, and
the freedom of England in the northern
seas be seriously menaced. If France
is DESTROYS of second Waterloo, she
can seek it in no place more acceptable
to her opponents than on the soil where
the first was fought.

HOW CLARKE SAVED THE SCHOOL
LANDS.
He saved Thsm-.eIn Horn. !"


We clip the following article from
late number of that excellent paper, the
Topeka Daily Record. 1t effectually
answers another of the buncombe
claims set up for Clarke by his friends
lust on the eve of the State Convention !:
''The Lawrence Misunderstanding,
we presume, to the amendment to the
Indian appropriation bill authorizing
the sale of the Usage lands-says: "Mr.
Clarke has saved the lands of the State
for our public shoots"
Let us see how this saving was &C
complished, and what it really amounts
to. Clarke's amendment merely pro-
vides that ''the lands of the said In
dams in Kansas" shall be opened to set
Element, after survey, at Sl.25 per acre
payable IN one yedT-"eXcepting the
sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections,
which shall be reserved to the State of
Kansas for school purposes" That
looks fair enough upon its face. But
will it effect anything in favor of the
State? Suppose the sixteenth and thir-
ty-sixth have already been settled upon
and such, we are assured, really is the
case. The settlers cannot be Ousted
therefrom: the State herself would new.
er ask for or consent to that. And
Clarke's reservation 10 the State 'fol
school purposes" therefore has no force
1T does not gice an acre Of land to tht
State. 1t does not add q dollar to th'
school fund. 1t is purely and intended
ly 'sfor Buncombe." Clarke knew wheI
he wrote the proyiso referred to tina
the lands ostensibly reserved for schoo
purposes had already passed into TIT
hands of third parties whose claims II
title thereto could not be ignored or Sc
aside.
There was way, however, in which
Mr.. Clarke might easily and surel,
have secured to the State an equivalen
for these lands. He might have includ
i. ed in his amendment clause providing
that if the sixteenth and thirty-sixtl
sections had been settled upon prior t.
the passage of the act-as he knew the.
had been-other lands, within tn
bounds of the Reserve, equal in quaint
, ty, and as contiguous as practicable
should be granted to the State in lieu o
said sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections
The importance of putting such pro

letter from the state Superintendent @
