CAPT. HERITAGE FOR REPRESEN.
TATTVE.

At the request Of his many friends,
business men and others, Captain L. T.
Heritage announces his name this week
as a candidate for Representative in this
(the 6Sth) district comprised of En-
poria, Pike and Center townships. We
take pleasure in supporting him, be-
cause he is one of our best citizens, and
because we believe he will make most
excellent Representative. He is an old
citizen-has served one term as County
Treasurer-was n brave and gallant
soldier, in which capacity he received a
severe wound, from which he will never
recover, and is an educated and accom-
plished gentleman. His business inte-
rests are with us, and he will work
efficiently for the interests of the district
if he is elected. If our people desire
the election of man of unsallied char
acter-one who has been upright in al
his dealings and actions, they could not
in our opinion, find a more suitable
man than Captain Heritage.

This begin the case, the work must be
doneby women, who have more time
at their disposal, and can best ascertain
who among our citizens want assistance.
TO some extent this work is done by
the churches, but chiefly among their
own members, and there are many al
ready, and during the next winter there
will be many more, not church menu
bers, who will want help. Again no
one would apply to church charitable
committee except those having claim
on such churches. Neither by church
visiting and relief does charity become
systematized, unworthy persons can
easily obtain aid from several churches,
while the worthy are often overlooked
We need, then, a society composed of
all the churches, bound to help ali alike,
undertaking the charities of the whole
city, so far as possible preventing pau
perism, by securing work for those who
are able and willing to work, and re-
lieving the wants of those unable to
work. That such society be efficient,
the work must be done by and through
it; our citizens mnst refer all appli-
cants for charity to the visitors in the
several wards, or to the directors. The
poor master must work in conjunction
with such society. If all the citizens
could assist in this work we could pre-
vent any great suffering this winter and
could break up any plans of importance
which bad persons might form.
Such a society is the Emporia Be-
nevolent Society; formed from all
the churches, having an able board Of
directors, viz: Mrs. Col. Robinson
Mrs. Chamberlain, Miss Warren, Miss
Plumb, Rev. Mrs. Copeland, Mrs. B. T
Wright, Mrs. Stanley, DIR. Wright, Mrs
Moon, Rev. Mrs. Averil, and DIR. Angel
This society purposes to undertake thu
work above indicated, but can succeed
only When all the citizens unite to sup
port 1t, with money and confidence
Let the people of Emporia take hold o
this matter in earnest, and begin by at
tending the public meeting of the soci

her father, have severally printed n

the damsel was confined under lock and

instructions, ordering intruders out of
the Territory, has created quite sensa-

one, two and three miles north, upon I'M

them, because many of them have made
improvements, such as breaking, ETC.,
which they are compelled to abandon,
thereby losing one seasons labor.

excitement exists in New York, and
that the decision is the topic of discus

is now the question of the day, which

point now is TO wrest from the plum

been most active in promoting the re-

education with more than motherly

for him, an elegant residence overlook

who was chairman of the committee
on resolutions in the recent Republican
Convention ut Springfield. The tariff
plank adopted was not at all in accor-
dance with the well known views of
the "late Mr.. Bastat," whose opinions
are so much admired by Mr.. White ;
and there was a very hearty endorse
ment by the convention of President
Grants administration. Both of these
resolutions are rebuke to the Tribune.
Republican Conventions are inclined TO
do their work just as they want it, and
TO not rely especially on the chairman
ofa committee to do the thinking.

again excited last week over evidences
of q conspiracy among certain brokers
and stock spectators to get possession
of as much as possible of gold and pa

to force up prices, which would greatly
embarrass money matters in Now York

100000 by leading railway speculator.
