OUR RIPRESENfIrivH.

Saline county has had "noisier" rep
rcsentativcs in the Legislature: but We
doubt if she has had moro honest and
Industrious one since the organization Of
tho county, than Major Eric Forsse. He
has performed the work allotted him in
good faith, and returns to his constitu-
ents with good record and highly re-
spected. His faithful services in the
lower house of our Legislature has DEM
onstrated tia: our Swedish friends have
men amnrg shcm capable and competent
to gil public stations, and with just ~
much dignity and As well, as their broth
er Americans. An effort was made dur.
ing the late session to cut off portion
of Saline county, and add it it to Dick.
inson county. 1t was an old dodge.
Once before a representative Of Saline
county, native " American" too-al-
lowed Solomon City to be "gobbled"
from Saline. The second scheme 10
"slice" Saline county was foiled by the
prompt efforts of Major Eric Forssc.
How his efforts in this behalf are apprc.
ciatcd will be seen by the following no
tee from tho Topeka correspondence Of
the Leavenwcrth Gail:
A bill came up in the House yesterday
the narport Of which was to detach .
portion pf Saline county and add it to
Dickinson. Through the prompt action
Of the Representative, Hon. X. Forsse,
the little scheme was nipped in the bud.
Mr.. +. is ono Of the most industrious
members az Che House; though quiet,
and unobstsasive. he accomplishes more
TOR his constituents than some Of those
Who are moro noisy.
We arc proud Of our representative.
We can trnthfaliy say unto him, in BE-
half of Saline county, "WeIl done
eood and faithful servant"

fHE PREsIDEyr's INAUGURAL.

President Grants second inaugural is
pronounced the most brilliant one, ever
witnessed in this country. The day
was cloudy and chilly, yet . vast con-
course of people werc soon assembled
to witness the ceremony. The inaugur-
al address was delivered in few min
utcs. 1t was very brief, but full of good
sense and patriotic. He said that in the
past it had been his cndcavor to main.
tain all the laws, and act for the best in
tcrcsts of the whole people. He prom
ised his best efforts in the same direction
for the next four year. He found the
country, when he began his first term,
just recovering from the effects of a
great internal revolution, and he had
been endeavoring during his whole ad-
ministration to restore harmony, public
credit, and all the arts of peace and pro-
grcss. His conviction was that the world
is tending to Rerublicanism, and that
our great Republic is the guiding star to
all others.
While the war ten ded to make q citi-
zen of the slave, he claimed that the col
orcd man is not possessed Of the civil
rights, which citizenship should carry
with 1t. He promises that as far As cx-
ecrtive influence can remedy the wrong,
he stands committed to do his part.
Upon the question of the admission
of San Domingo, ~ territory Of the
United States, he acted as he thought
for the best interests Of both coun-
tries. In the future, he proposes that
tho acquisition Of territory must have
the approval Of the people before be
will Recommend any proposition look
ing to such acquisition. He does not ap-
prehend any danger Of the government
becoming weakened or destroyed BY ex-
tension Of territory.
His efforts in the future will b direct.

In Cincinnati, the other day, the Dem
Ocrats broke loose from the Liberals and
nominated a straight-out Democratic
ticket. Is this course to lie pursued
generally by the Democrats throughout
the Union! Do they now dicovcr the
mistake they made when they allowed
thcirparty ranks to be demoralized BY
joining in with sorc-hcads: If we are
not much mistaken the coalition formed
for the Presidential campaign is "bustcd
wide open," and will never be servicca-
bic for other campaigns. The Democra-
cy may hereafter fight their battles alono.
The late Cincinnati movement may be
an indication of Democratic feeling gcn-
orally, and may be the keynote of their
future movements.

The Legislature adjourned at late
hour on Tuesday night. Notwithstanding
the efforts of some papers to make this
body the most unpopular one that has
ever assembled in Kansas, it will stand
among the best. 1t contained many able
men, passed few foolish laws, and COM
menccd the good work Of cleaning ont
the corruptionssts. Because it has failed
to satisf:. the prcjulices of certain shys-
tiers is no reason why it should be con-
sidcrcd so depIorabIy weak, and of no
account. In most of the measures be-
fore the body, it has acted just.

into great republic, in imitation of our own?
There is no good reason known to us why
Germany should not soon be republic, in
Guiding not only all the German States, North
and South, but Holland, Sweden and Norway
besides. A federal republic, including France,
Spain, Portugal and Italy, is not 80 much
vain and foolish dream as it once was.
In proportion as the European nations
unite so will the chances of war be diminished;
and when Europe is republican, like the
United States, the chances of war will be
small the wide world over. In the meantime
we expect much from the discussion Of this
question. We expect much from the hearty
cooperation of Great Britain and the United
States. They have given the example, and
they must continue to enforce it and lend item
couragement The question should be discussed
more freely in the pulpit and more frequently
in the Senate. 1t concerns An-governments
and peoples alike. So long as such a war as
that which recently deluged the plains of
France with blood is possible our Christianity
is still stained, our civilization is still imper-
feet Let us all labor and hope for that hap
pier day when it will be universally admitted
that ''God hath made of one blood all nations
Of men for to dwell on the face of the
earth," and when the sun shall rise and set
no more on scenes of blood and sorrow.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES

The Italian opera season has reached EARNED
neutrality" among the artists.
This week the bills win be changed at all tho
theatres in the city except Booths, the Union
Sqnare and the Broadway.
Mr.. wikie Collins will he present at Miss Carlotta
Leclercqs initial performance OF ''The New Mag
dalen" at the Broadway Theatre.
ssThe Geneva Cr0ssn Is still drawing good houses.
This play is the only new one yet produced ths
season which has had "runn that may be called
successful
Theodore Thomas symphony concerts will begin
Saturday evening November %. 1t is needless 70
commend the excellence OF these recitals, the eK-
perlence OF years having established their high
character.
Miss Clara Morris has been engaged to appear as
the Union Square Theatre after the withdrawal OF
ssThe Geneva Crossn 1t is probable she will ap-
pear in new piece and in an emotional part
similar to those roles upon whicn her fame rests.
At the Lyceum Theatre ''Notre Dame" has been
withdrawn and this week Is to be devoted to
Shakespeare. On Monday evening Mr.. I. Q. King
appears as Othelo, Mr.. Charles Wheatleigh as lago
and Miss Jeffreys Lewis as Desdemona, and ON
Tuesday Mr. King plays Ineomar These pieces
will be alternated during the week.
The incidental entertainments introduced into
'The Black Crookr are to be entirely changed to-
ballet called "The Demons Reve," with 100 dan
GERS, new demon pas de Quartre by Miles, Boni
and Guivassi and the Kiralfy brothers, the new
spiritual suspension effect by the Kiralfy sisters
and new nautical ballet. The Girards are also
to appear In o gymnastic "follyn called the "Leg
Mania"
Ground the Clock" is to be revived at the Grand
Opera House tomorrow evening. Mr.. G. L. Fox
plays Lawyer Goddigatt, Mrs. G. L. Wacott Joey
LillyDurn from Boston, and Mr.. Hardenberg takes
Kilgobbin, John Brougham's old part and MISS
Fanny Haywood plays Juliana, Mrs. John Woods
part last season. That distinguished actor.
Johnny Aaron is not re-engaged, those noble roles
of the light weights being given to Mr. Costello and
Mr.. Cherry
Mr.. Robert McWade appears at the Olympic
Theatre tomorrow evening in his own version OF
Grip Van Winkle." Rips dog "Schneider' is an
important element in the story. and Mr.. McWade
does not forget to introduce him to the audience.
We are assured that his conception OF the part is
in no respect copied from Mr.. JeYerson's Rip Van
wlnkle, and are even told that the play exhibits
more fidelity to Washington lrvings beautiful
story than Mr.. Boucicault's version.
The repetition OF "Ernani," at the Academy OF
Music, on Friday evening" did not bring together
an audience altogether equal to the merits OF tho
occasion. Yet this is as q whole, one OF the most
brilliant representations OF the season. Torrlani
and Campann acquittng themselves well and
Maurel finding his best role in King Charles. Isit.
indeed, the fashion to go to the opera only on
Nilsson nightsS If our society people have
adopted any such rule they will make opera in the
future next to impossible. The general excellence
OF the representation should be the only rule
among opera goers.

impressive Ceremonies and an Impostng
Funeral Pageant.
The beautiful Church OF st. Vincent de Paul, WI.
liamsburg, was densely crowded yesterday, the
occasion being the celebration OF the obsequies OF
the late Rev. Father David O'Mullane. former
pastor OF the church, who departed this life on
Thursday last. Ten O'Clock was the hour announced
for the funeral service, but the sacred edifice
was besieged by dense multitude long before that
hour, and when the doors were opened the church
was soon filed to its utmost capacity.
Shortly after ten O'Clock the priests participat-
ing in the sad ceremonies, clad in their sombro
vestments, assembled the grand altar, which was
heavily draped in black, the organ pealed forth
its s0norous strains and the services proceeded
amid the breathless silence Of the compact assem-
blage The mortal remains of the once cheerful
aud always beloved pastor were reposing In a beau
tiful casket placed in the centre aisle, near the
altar. and many Of those who knew and loved hm
so well in life, while passing by stopped to shed
head
plain silver plate on the casket bore the follow
