The Pomeroy-Caldwell investigation
still "hangs fire" in the U. S. senate
Do the dignitarics at Washington pro-
pose to honestly and conscientiOusly
discharge their duties under the solemn
oaths they have taken, or be guilty of
perjury, stand before tho American peo-
pie as accessories with the guilty, and
laugh at last winters proceedings ofthe
Kansas legislature pronouncing its
members a set of fools and unworthy of
their notice? 1t is full time the people
were hearing of something being done
at Washington in this matter. hope
that the people Of this section, next fall,
will call out loudly to the aspirants for
legislative positions, ado You propose
to support Pomeroy for senator?" which
interpreted means, ado you propose to

Cls IIEE REIIGREp?

There has been no administration,
taking into account the difference Of cir
cumstanccs, that has been freer from
corruptions or dissensions or has shown
itself mere capable OF coping with all
cxigcncies, than the present. We can
not see when under Il change Of govern
mcnt matters will be bc:tcrcd, to say
the least. Every administration has
had its opponents, its viiIifiers, and has
sometimes erred. With all OF its trans
grcssions, the republican party is par
~ Of principle and is as good as any
could be and better than most would be.
Then VIC hold to the party for its good
deeds, for our faith that it is not 10 be
improved by any form, and for our de-
sire to pcrpctuatc, not destroy or divide.
an organization demanded in the past
and necessary for the future. We stick
to the party but reserve the right to
oppose corruption the same in as out Of
the party.

The Soldiers and Sailors convention
met at Washington the evening OF the
seventh of May, the delegates rcpresen.
ting various parts Of the Grand Army
of the Republic OF the United States.
Their business was to take action against
certain legislation Of Congress affecting
their interests, particularly the recently
passed land bounty act, which rcqires
occupancy and cultivation to secure pos
session. This, they say, is a dclusion to
the soldiers and sailors, especially those
suffering from or disabled by wounds or
other casualties. They also protest
against the pension system, claiming it
10 not sufficient. They want an addition
'o3 twenty per cent.

Three weeks ayo,in view ofthc fact thai
Col. Elijah Sells, of Douglas county, hat
declined to become candidate for Gov
ernor, we named as our choice for the
position Maj. E. s. Slower, of Council
Grove. Now we are privately advised
in such way that there is no question
about its correctness, that the Major will
not be, nor has been, candidate for the
Governorship. He will, however, II his
friends so desire, be candidate before
the straight Republican convention tor
Lieutenant Governor. That the last de-
termination meets our hearticst approval
what we have said in the past on this
score is full guaranty. We believe
Western apd Southwestern Kansas, from
what we personally know, and in fact
the other portions OF the State, will honor
him by the bestowal ofthe position upon
him. We hope to see Saline county give
him her united support at tho convention.

SEE How They RUN!-As we predict
cd, many of the Delegates appointed by
the liberals to go to Cincinnati, are has
tening 10 purge themselves of the tain,
thus attached to them. Thaddeus H.
Walker of Topeka; Samuel Lappin, OF
Nemaha; Jacob Weisbach, of Marshal ;
Col. l.. n. Robinson, of Lyon; L. G.
Palmer and Robert Lender, Of Bourbon /;
all give notice that they do not train with
that crowd. W. p. Dalton, appointed a
delegate, lives somewhere in the brush
in Missouri.
The colored delegates don't stand it
any better than the whites. J. H. Nor
ris, of Lcavenworth David Gordon, of
Fort Scott and II. NJ. Cox, Of Atchison,
all announce that they mean to stand by
the Republican flag.

I
A portly gentlemen arrived in town
yesterday from Cincinnati and stopped
at the Tent House, where the obliging
clerk, Mr.. Smith, met him and said,
How are you Mr.. 0reeley!" A gen.
tleman froIa Lincoln county happened
to hear the greeting, and at once in9uir-
ed of the clerk, whether that was Hor-
ace Greeley, the liberal nominee for the
presidency" The clerk replied that he
was the man, whereupon " the gentleman
from Lincoln" circled txo or three times
around "Mr. Greeley" who sat in a
chair in the office admiripg the enter
prise of the Commonwealth and at last
approached and the following converse
ton took place:
Rural.-"Arc you Horace Greeley"
Gentlemap.-"Yes."
Rural" pictures l have seen
look like you, and therefore l supposed
you were Mr.. Greeley. Are you going
to speak here tonight"
Oh, no, have been
travelling night and day since left Gin
cinnati, and, at present, have nothing to
say. ! am only looking around the
State, seeing what is to be seen, and how
you stand on the liberal movement"
Rural.-"W Well, l don't know about
the balance of the State, but we, in Lin
coin county, are mostly for Grant"
Gentleman" You would listen to
me, if should come to see yoa, wouldn't
your"
Rural.-"Oh, yes. We would be glad
to see you and have speech"
At this point Of the interview, the
portly gentleman excused himself, and
" Rural" was satisfied apparently that
he had seen the veritable Horace Gree

him Of Chappaqua:
No man has ever dared to say that
Horace Greeley was not an honest man.
Ho may not be what some may call :

6nished presence, and he may be addicted
to what are considered by them rs low
and common pursuits, such as farming,
stock raising, looking after the INDECENT,
gathering supplies for the starving

the FARMERS AND THE TEXAS CATTLE.

1t IS now certain, we think, that con-
siderable number of Texas cattle is to be
driven into Saline county this year, and
their arrival will commence in the next
two weeks or SO. Then, it devolves upon
the people, the farmers especially, to say
what action, # any, shall be taken in ref:
erence to them. The farmers are some
what divided in their views but we are
satisfied that majority of them prefer
that the cattle shall still continue coming
into the county. OF course the most OF
us here in town, as matter of trade, de-
sire that they shall make Salina ship
ping point, but we should look rather to
our county as a future agricultural, man.
utacturing and stock-raising section than
to something that gives an artificial impe.
tus for the time being. The provisions Of
the herd law and the statute against dam.
age to property are sufficient If properly
and rigidiy enforced. But "hcre's the
rub, and will they be enforced? There
is no reason why they should not be. II
is the duty of the county attorney and
it remains with the parties injured in
property to make their complaints. This
is the view, We think, that all must take.
Owners of cattle arc DESTROYS to drive
here for the reason that water and grasses
are abundant and excellent and numerous
advantages abound over other points,
and if they are not to do damage to our
farms and property, which, with sound
discretion and thoroughncss exercised
upon the part Of the people, VIC do rot
believe they will do, we shall be
pleased and anxious to have the cattle
men make Salina their headquarters.
There is nothing SO good to q commun-
ity where any doubtful question prevails
rs the strict enforcement of the laws.
Tho citizen have the law upon their side
and they should see to it that it is exc.
cuted mildly but firmly.

Geo. e. Crowther has moved bi.
Transcript from New Chicago, Neoshe
county, to Usage Mission, the county
seat of the same county. The first mum
Der is before us. In his chow" he
says:
The Transcript will be independently
republican; will advocate the principles
enunciated by the founders Of the great
party. And while doing this we do not
want it understood that because VIC are
q republican We are bound to shoulder
the wrong acts of individual members
thereof or the party. We arc ready and
willing to aid in defeating what We con-
slider the wrong acts of the republican
party as to aid in the success of a single
principle thereof.
That is it. A man TO be republican
is not compelled to sanction or acquiesce
in the "wrong acts of Individual mem
bcrs" OF the party; indeed, he is very
bad republican if he does. 1t is this
sanctioning Of and toadyism to certain
"powers that be" that has injured the
party, and it IS just for this cause that
there are numerous accessiOns to the
"liberals from the republican party.
Kansas, always radical, finds some of
her most ardent republican supporters
speaking adversely to tho party which
was as strong as the adamantinc hills,
only that the party has been misused by
the corrupt practices of men.

We clip the following suggestive item
from the Kansas City Journal
1t is one of the curious results of the
political movements that of the five dai.
~ papers in Kansas City-not one of
them supports the democratic party.
Not single article has appeared edito-
rally for some time in any paper that
has not had a republican tendency. The
Ne~s is for smashing up all parties, and
argues manfully for las hobby. The
Times is fairly frantic in its admiration
of Republican ideas, and frequently
in its zeal, assumes to lecture Us on our
orthodoxy-to say nothing Of its gush-
ing eulogiums on Jim Lane and John
Brown. But Of the Democracy there is
nothing. Who would have thought that
such thing could have come to pass
ono month ago!
