CURSES COME HOME TO BOOST.

Poor Chicago Scarcely has she gotten
through her malevolent design Of depicting
our city by the 'pizen" Of her river, than a
bolt of vengeance spites her self. shot, not by
the hand of St. Louis, but by one Of her
home institutions. The Lamar Insurance
Company has gone and busted, with mere
fragmen. of assets, and causing the widest
excitement amongst the policy holders.
This is the first of Chicago bubbles that
has 'given out" Which is TO be the next?
There can be no doubt that the collapse Of
this institution is merely preliminary TO an
extended ''bus;ing," and that the hard times
raging in her streets are reacting against the
safety and stability %! many OF her most APP
proved pet institutions.
I'VE are interested in Watching the deca-
dence Of a city that has protested her s,abil-
ity and standing with such wonderful lung
power and with So little regard to fact.-&.
Louis Journal # Commerce.
We respectfully refer the above TO the ed.
itor OF the Atchison Champion. Perhaps he
can plagiarize the same and palm it off upon
his readers as another TRADE against Leaven-
worth, As he has frequently of late done with
our editorials.
We desire to say, however, that ''poor
Chicago" is not suffering much from this
kind of small fry talk. 1t does no, hurt them
more than the Champions articles hurt
Leavenworth. We visited Chicago few
days ago, and saw more evidences Of pros
perity in that city than We ever saw before.
1t is the most wonderful city in the West,
and it i'll becomes ST. Louis to sneer at them.
Better try and keep up with Chicago.

INTEMPERANCE.

The following statistical statement Of the
deaths q! persons who are Incorporate as
compared with those who are temperate,
should be potent enough TO convince even
those who almos; refuse TO believe, though
one should arise from the grave. The statis-
tican of the London General Life Insurance
Company says that If 100000 incorporate
persons be taken, from fifteen to seventy
years OF age, and an equal number of cor
responding ages who are not incorporate,
thirty two ont of the former will die as often
As ten of the latter Out of 100000 of each,
16,907 of the incorporate will ba dead be-
fore fifty years of age, but of those who are
no; Incorporate 1926 only Will be dead
From fifty years to sixty the comparative
numbers of deaths will be G, AIS and 2,254,
and from sixty years to seventy they will be

AT the Big Trees, Calaveras county, Cali

man and lathe is the Manufacture from Sec

OUR EDlroRrAL.vuslrORS.

Wetrust our Editorial brethren are as well
satisfied with Leavenworth as our people are
pleased to see the distinguished visitors.
Their presence here, with the knowledge
they will gain of our people, our climate,
our soil and its wonderful productiveness
will prove of incalculable benefit to us. We
have but TO think that one million readers
will see what these gentlemen have learned
about Kansas.
Their visit is not one of mere pleasure;
they come among us because their readers
demand of them correct information: their
readers, many OF them at least, contemplate
coming here. Hence our visitors find that
if they would make their papers interesting
they mus; obtain the requisite information to
enable them to give their readers the desired
knowledge. Gentlemen, We thank you for
coming here and hope you will neither for
get Us nor regret your coming.

A GRAND PROJECT.

Merchants of St. Louis are considering the
merits and feasibility of a plan for organiz-
ing joint stock company for the purpose of
manufacturing clothing for the wholesale
trade OF the city. 1t is complained that the
present condition Of the clothing mar
ket is draw back upon the general bust
ness of the city, inasmuch as it does not offer
sufficient inducements to purchasers, and
therefore compels them TO look and buy in
other markets, where, in the majority of in
sstances, they buy the remainder of their
tocks. To remedy the evil they canno, get
Eastern manufacturers 10 come there, bu,
must depend upon themselves. A meeting
has been held, but no action other than the
appointment: of a committee 10 stir up inter
eg in the matter was taken.

OWNING UP AGAIN.

The Champion, Yesterday, again owned up
to the fact that passengers going north and
west from this city were detained five hours
and thiriy-tve minutes in Atchison before
they could go west.
Some gentleman from Sebetha told Us in
public meeting here the other night that
the time tables on the trains were so arrang-
ed, that they were compelled to stop in Atch-
ison over night, before they could get to
Leavenworth. OF course they did not feel
very pleasant towards that burg. We have
letters daily from parties in northern and
western Kansas making the same complaint.
The Indignation among the people against
thos who are guilty of perpe,rating this i'm
position upon them is growing stronger every
day, and is now beginning To react upon
Atchison. People do not feel like stopping
in a place when citizens attempt to force
them 10 do so. And vet the editor of the
Champion openly sustains this forcible deten-
of travellers. II is Il policy that will not

,u,R.E, FRANCIS ADAMS.

\ correspondent OF the New York Herald
has recently interviewed Charles Francis
Adams, and represents him as claiming to
be very Indifferent about political matters.
His highest ambition WAS fulfilled in the
English mission, and at It's expiration he
washed his hands Of politics. The frequent
mention OF his name in connection with va
rious high Offices has been in all cases unau-
,horized, and all offers Of political office he
has invaribly declined, and will continue to
do -. His whole time is occupied in the
preparation oi the biography and editing
the works Of his father, and he thinks that
there are now no issues of sufficient impcr-
lance before the country 10 enlist the aiten-
ton of persons of his habits of life. He re-
CARDS the 'new departure" movement as a
step in the right direction, but thinks that
there is very little OF interest attaching 10
any political ISSUES just at present.

SALE OF THE L.. a. a n. ". x.

Senator Caldwell stated in public meet
ing in this city that it did not pay the Pa
citic Railroad To run the road from Leaven-
worth to Atchison, and that he would use
his influence, as President of the L., A. X
" W L., to sell it to Walker for 100000.
Mr.. Alex. Garrett, Il stakeholder, told us
that the next day after Mr.. Caldwell made
this statement the Directors met, and with
the understanding that Leavenworth pays a
part, Mr.. Caldwell has gone to Chicago TO
see Mr. Walker, and will offer him the road
for the 100000.
Johnny, however, says it is not so. Well,
perhaps Senator Caldwell did not mean what
he said We won't insist on il now, As We

Senator Prescott, Robert Bishop, Captain

city To negotiate with The Kansas Central
IN reference to the construction of the mar
row gauge railroad from Leavenworth TO

candid reception and ASSURANCES OF cum
pliance with their wishes. The heretofore
doubling individuals are now rapidly be-
coming convinced of the prac,icability Of
the narrow gauge.
IL is evident that the narrow gauge is TO he
the system adopted in Kansas for all new
lines. Even the parties who few weeks
ago sneered a; il are now organizing narrow
gauge roads. The County Of Leayenworth
will vote the required aid, and the Kansas
Central is already fixed fact.

CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

We clip the following suggestive para
graph from an editorial in the Montreal
NeUs of the l9Lh, ON Canada and the United
States"
eve do not deny, and We regret to be
forced to make the admission, that annex
alton doctrines receive favorable reception
in Quebec circles, where formerly the only
expressions heard were those Of ardent at
tachment TO the Mother Country. Day by
day the circle is widening of Americanized
Canadians. Ii is difficult TO convince a pop
ulation who see their time honored fortresses
dismantled and the Imperial authorities
busily occupied shipping away every article
worth removal, that England's statesmen
have not resolved 10 abandon Canada"
