A dreadful tragedy was enacted in
Lawrence last week. A Mr.. Ruth, the
business manager of the Tribune, retired
at twelve o'clock Friday night, after his
days work, and was found dead in bed
tho next morning, subsequent invcstiga-
tons proving him to have been poisoned.
Grave suspicious against DIR. Medlicott,
who furnished him medicine for the asuc,
are entertained, and other accounts seem
to think that he committed suicide.
Ruth's wife at the time was on visit at
Leavenwortb. 1t is alleged th%t Ruth
was jealous of him for too close attention
to his wife and had high words with her
relating to the matter. Mrs. Ruth has
former husband in St. Louis, an attorney
at law, from whom she was divOro ed, and
married Ruth. MedlicOtt's wife died sud-
denly couple Of years ago. Upon Med
licott's arrest a photograph and some SEN
timental poetry Of Mrs. Ruth's was found
upon his person. He is now in Jail. The
whole affair will be examined into thor
oughly but indications are that only etcr-
nifty will unvail the mystery.

The Democrats of Ohio are in middle
about the question ola gubernatorial can
didatc. The Democratic State central
committee have issued their circular, en-
joining all good Democrats to become
particularly interested in the State con.
vention which is to be held at Columbus,
June 18th. They claim that upon the
next election will depend in great
measure the success of the Presidential
contest in 1872. Geo. II. Pendicton has
declined becoming 4 candidate for Gov
ernor for the reason, probably, that he
tired of sacrificing himself upon the alter
of Democracy. Whom to fix upon, they
can not tell. They are probably satisfied
that they mus, hase soldier for can
didate, or their chances will be slim.
George McCook, OF the famous military
McCook family, is spoken Of for that po-
sition. Where is Rosecranx He fooled
them once, and nov Of course, he is +" not

VANDALISM.

The invctcrate hatred that exists be-
tween two nations or parties at war, Of
ten causes the most wanton destruction
Of relies and monuments of the past.
One-half of tho temples, statuary, and
finc works of art, at Athens, that had
stood the storms and waste of 20 many
since she fOstered SO successful
" the arts and sciences, only few years
ago, comparatively, were destroyed by q
vindictive invader, and Grecian history
lost thereby many an interesting page.
Rome suffered asimilar calamity, and, in
most every other country, At some.Period
oftime, has like demolition visited works
that have been Of the greatest value to
the literary and scientific world. 1t is to
be deprecated that this species of vandal-
ism is not on the decrease, and that the
narrow spirit for wanton destruction, du-
ring war, manifcsts itself at the present
day, as it did years ago. No matter how
much certain factions of Paris may hate
the Napoleonic name, they gain nothing
by tearing down the structures built by
the great Napoleon, during the years that
France made such rapid strides towards
greatness. These structures are links in
her history, and when they are gone, the
world looses more by far than the de-
stroyers can possibly gain. What harm
is it to those striving after republican
ism, that monument stands in the Place
de Vendomc, in Paris, built of the cannon
captured from the Austrians and Rus
slams and surmountcd by life-like form
ofthe oman of destiny clad in his famil-
lar garb, or that about this column in spir-
al form is portrayed in characters that
as long rs the bronze, the nu-
mcrous campaigns Of the French army
under their idOlizcd and renowned lead
or! The Prussians claim that they de-
stroycd st. Cloud, very reluctantly, be-
cause of its historical associations, and
that they only did SO when compelled to
by military necessity. Yet, the men
whose fathers always bowed the head
with reverence at the mention of the
name of "the little corporal" unhcsita-
ingly, and without just cause, would
,url down the last relic that would re-
mind them of Frances greatest history.
Liberty gains nothing by destroying mar
bic and bronze, while art and history suf-
er irremediably.
We have often thought that the colo
lists gained nothing by pulling down
he statues of George Ill. on the streets
# Boston. 1t were better to have left |
hem standing upon their pedcstals, to
erve their part in American history as
emindcrs of the time when English des-
otism was predominant in our country.
overs ofliberty can better employ their
inc than by spending their force and
bells upon images.

It is proposed to divide Texas into
three states, to be named respectively.
East Texas, Texas, and West Texas.
The committee appointed by the legisla-
ture Of that state to consider the matter,
have reported favorably on the same.
This state, when we studied geography,
sss tho largest State in the Union, and
VIC believe it is now. Its natural resour-
ccs are unlimited and can not be cxcell-
ed. By the proposed division any one
Of the three new States will he as large
a. Illinois or Indiana. With its present
arcs, great difficulty has been experience
ed in bringing it under proper control
through the medium Of one state gov
ernment. 1t has an ARA Of 237 1874
square miles. Rhode Island has an area
Of 1900 square miles and has the same
senatorial representation. immigration
is pouring rapidly into that country, and
ere long thatpart Of the Onion will have
u very dense population. From all
reports we should conclude that that
State has less turmoil and less Of the ku-
klux operations than any other of the
Gulf States. Northern capital is seeking:
for her famed water powers, and Yam
kec farmers arc making use of her rich
agricultural resources.
1t is wonderful how ignorant the mas
ses of Northern people were before the
war Of the elements Of wealth possessed
by the South. They had Travelled from
one end of the continent to the other and
were convcrsant with the nature Of the
soil, climate and resources of all the
States except those Of the South, and 1t
was to them something like taking Il
trip to "a foreign country, if they hap
pencd to journey into the cotton and to
bacco growing regions Of the South. Ii
WAS because there was nothing conscn'al
in the customs and feelings Of the tw"
sections of our Union. This great dis
parity has been removed, and hcncefort'
as Northern capital, energy, thrift, enter,
prise and civilization are introduced into
that section, these differences of customs
and characteristics will gradually fade
away, and such an Union of the States rs
was contemplated by our fithcrs-a Tn
ion of hearts, sympathies and feelings, Il
Union in fact, and not in theory
will prevail.
In Texas, Northern immigration is be
ing invited warmly. She has become
that in the introduction Of!
This element, is true prosperity. Three
greater States will not exist in the I'm
ION that those into which she is to be di-
rided, when they have been filled with
IN intelligent, Woodworking and enter
,rising population. !

A wise provision has been added to the
divorce laws of Indiana. Where the
cause of divorce has arisen in another
State the person must have residence Of
three years, instead of one rs it has been
heretofore, in the county in which the
application is filed. No divorce will be
granted nnless the act or acts committed
are of good cause where committed, and
the causes Of divorce must be distinctly
stated and nothing is now left to the dis
crction of the judge. Indiana will no
longer be the Grctna Green Of the United
States.

nOol corn RAISING.

In exchange says "the great broom
eorn district in Illinois intends to ignore
the crop this season, and spectators are
in market buying up the stock in hand"
The; object of the raising of broom
corn; not SO much the item, may well
occupy the attention of the farmers o.
TINS section In conversation recently
with gentleman who has had practical
experience in both Illinois and Kansas,
in tho raising of broom corn and the
manufacture of brooms he said that this
YVES the best country he was ever in for
the growing Of broom corn, and that the
corn could be cultivated here and ship
ped east at profit over that realized in
Illinois and Indiana. The less cost in
raising, and the more abundant crops,
according TO his statement, make the
difference. He averred that broom corn
-wosld grow here in any year, no matter
how dry or vet the season might be.
There are large towns in Illinois whose
main source of revenue is itom brooia
manufacture. Why may not this branch
of business be made an auxiliary to Sa-
lima! The amount expended, annually,
in Kansas in the purchase of brooms
elsewhere, is no inconsidcrable sum.
Something Of an estimate can be ma,
from calculating the five hundred thou
sand population Of the State, and the
price Of each broom ut u sum Of at least
forty cents. We know something Of a
manuf:wtory ut Atchison IN this Stale.
The proprietors command an cxccllcn,
trssde from the adjacent country, and are
making themselves rich, in addition to
creating large business for the city.
The business with us might be compare
lively mc,scr at first but at the rate this
country is developing and the way towns
arr sprinyins mp and growing. it would
increase rapidly and become lucrative.
BY u proper manifestation and excrtion,
our city could become the chief market
for one half of the State, and remain such.
There is one consideration that should in
duce our people and business men to en-, |
courage and foster enterprises of the kind
aud unquestionably would, which is, tina,
thereby our other branches of trade
would be strengthened and enlarged.
Broom corn raising, whether for trans
nOrtation or manufacturing purposes.
would be remaneralive to the farmers Of
Western. 1t is calculated that the con-
version Of the corn into brOoms increas-
CO its value more than twice. These are
"a few hints 10 those "whom it may con-
corn"

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

The outside of this issue contains q
correspondence touching this topic,
which, while it meets the views of one
the editors of this paper, is widely at va
rance with the feelings Of the other.
The senior editor does not see the neccs-
sity for the eniranchisement of the wO-
men, and no believes that the bestowal
of the ballot upon her would work seri-
ously in the object desired, or pretended
to be obtained, q. e. to create a purer
politics) not meaning that the good wo-
men of the country would dlsabuse the
privilege or vitiatc it in any manner of
form by their actions, but that the major
ity would neglect their duties, leaving
the care Of this precious boon to the Gus
tody of the frail and crratic sisterhoOd.
Aside from this there are other convinc-
ing reasons to us why female suffrage
should not become of force from our
statute books. The question possesses
some beauties of aspect and exccllences
of fact, but these are more than counter
balance by the deteriorating result they
would work upon domcsticity and upon
morality, we verify believe. Female
suffrage is not question properly before
the people, is not up for discussion, nor
shall we argue it in these columns until
each mind of the editors is made to see
alike upon it, or until some other ar
engagements is effected over the control
of the paper. Each editor holding hon
estly to his belief this resolution is adopt
ed in justice to both.
The correspondence is finely written
article and we take pleasure in giving it
place; also it is furnished by one of the
most intelligent men of our times. If
there is merit enough in female suffrage
to secure the approval of the people to it
then we are satisfied. We have an
abiding faith in the intelligence and con-
sideration of the people, and are always
anxious to give them whatever enlight-
mcnt We maybe able to furnish.

~DRoUfIY KANSAS"

Kansas has obtained for herself in the
past, a somewhat unenviable reputation
for drouths, and this odium continues, in
. measure, TO retard the progress Of our
y0tng State. There is no question that
hs1 not the results of the year 1860 exist
Cd that the State would have been many
thousands better off inner population and
have made creator progress in her i'm
provcments and in the accession of CAPT.
tai. B0t droutby Kansas" like bleed
ing Kansas" has had its day, and it is be-
ing demonstrated that the term is very
much of hallucination, exaggerated by
some with the objective point Of injnring
her fair name and heralded by others
through temperament for chronic
grambling over the failures of others and
others enterprises and successes. How
ever, through the stcadfastncss of her
champions, Kansas is acquiring a just
tribute for fertility, productiveness and a
climate of evenness and mildness.
That Kansas is becoming less subject
to drouths is being demonstrated and the
day is not far distant when the charge
will have been numbered with the things
forgotten. New York, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Wisconsin and other States have
experienced as severe, or worse, dry sea-
sons rs ever visited Kansas, but they suf
fercd little from the structures of q criti-
c'ising world. The difference has been
that in their cases they were advanced in
nge, were prepared for such emergencies
and were less subjects for jealousy in an
immigration point of view, while Kansas
wa just starting, had all the trials and
vcxations of new country to contend
aSainst, she was fast filling with the pop
xfstson Of other States and countries and
rss not capable of withstanding any
Ai.inntion of products, however small
they might be in the best years. What
would 1860 have been to Ohio or Penn
eysvu6a! Il would have been passed
over ~ . tad year, without creating any
great depression in financial or business
circles We know to our own knowl-
edge tkst N some parts of Kansas forty
bushels sf corn to the acre was raised in
1860, and there was scarcely commun-
ity in the Staze but that made some kind
of yield
The agricultural advantages of Kansas
is assured The future will perfect traits
not yet matured. Irrigation of the soil
and the development of our natural re-
sources xill accomplish for us our most
expectations. "Drouths will
shortly haze disappeared from our midst
md in tlrcfr stead will be given prc-em-
inently agrscaitural land. Kansas is not

Psared hat1Ley arc growing less in num-
bsr asS TDPsrtionately smaller as the
State becseses older. The exhibition Of
Kansas Trusts Al the Philadelphia pomo-
Ogical convention and the bestowal of
he esld modal upon the State is proof
hat our SD and climate contain powers
