OrlENTOTT CONVICTED.

This man, Who was convicted of putting
246 illegal names on the poll-books Of the
Eldorsdo election preciDcf, was convicted b,
the United States District Court at Topeka,
and sentenced to the penitentiary for six
months, and TO pay Q fine of two hundred
and fifty dollars. This was under the United
States Law, made more particularly to protect
newly made colored voters, but of course ap-
plicable to all elections. II is said that o.
tentot was young lawyer Of promise, and
probably he Is not SO much to blame Is many
others who have set the example. He was
foolish. Why didn't he get some rich man
to back and advise him !? Why didn't he do
il on bond question, and get some Of the
''bonds % Why didn't he have some fellow
muster up lot Of fellows and change their
clothes, and vote early and oiien? If there
had been money in the thing, and some pious
man to back him he would have been all
right.-Larrence Tribune.
The conviction Of this scoundrel of the
crimes charged against him in the courts Of
Kansas, is evidence of the determination OF
our people to clean cut the thieves.
The unmasking Of the New York robbers
is having its influence all over the land.
Nav the time come speedily when corrup-
ton in the politics of Kansas will be prompt
ly punished, and may the time soon come
when none but honest men shall hold places

The Pleasant Hill Railroad bridge over the

obviated BY borrowing q sufficient quantity

We are sorry to find so distinguished
statesman as Mr.. Train at this early stage OF
the campaign resorting TO intimidation. He
ought to know that the only judicious
course for MIN is to appeal to the
feelings and imagination Of the
people, and the attempt 10 make the electors
OF Omaha support him by threats Of punish
ment If they refuse Is likely to prove
failure. Besides, We will bet fifty cents that
he cannot sell his five thousand Omaha lots

value, which We understand to be about five
thousand dollars apiece. Perhaps, however,
this telegram is not from Mr. Train at all,

L1ouoR DRINKING AMONG ENGLISH La
DIES -London correspondent of the Boston Ad
vertiser discourses as follows on subject that IS
attracting considerable attention on both sides
of the Atlantic:
For some time the fair censor who was wont
to devote herself to eliminating her sex In the
columns of the Saturday Review has rested
from her congenia labor, or has been denlea
opportunity. In the last number the accumu-
lated bitterness escapes, and the tabled cruelty
of women to each other is outdone. We had
been told that the female society Of to-day had
little virtue; that it was vain, affected and de-
ceitful; but now definite charge Of a degrad-
ing vice is broug ht against it. English women
are not only Airts or prudes, but they also get
tipsy. / can hardly eyaggerate the effect tiiis
sensational charge has produced; l was stay
ing at large country house when the paper
arrived, and I heard it discussed i'll all impartial
way. Drunkenness, we aretold, is no longer
quite unknown even in the most charming
drawing rooms, and something should be done
to startle the lady tipplers.
There is reason to believe, 50 says the writer,
that the frequent pick he up, the midday
aud afternoon sherry or champagne may have
much to do with the pace at which young men
and naideus, old men and children, Mayfair
mothers and Belgravian beauties are posting
downhill. Not few actual cases might be
quoted for sensational purposes, but we have
not space, even if this were fitting occasion,
to describe how Mrs A. destroyed the peace of
her home until she was removed from further
trouble by permanent imbecility; how Lady
B. brought herself and her children to compll-
Gated grief and disgrace as she let fortune,
friends and faith slip through her. reckless fin.

by the doctor is often found so agreeable Il
stimulant that second is added, and even a
third, to meet the strain on nerves and stomach
which an ordinary day of society involves.
Then there is horrid sketch. drawn apparent
ly from some one miserable ease, of the craft
With which women battle observation when the
craving for alcohol is on them The strate-
w. says the Saturday Review, used to Sc.
cure the private drains of Lond on ladies would
suffice to outwit Bismarck, Won Moltke and all
