his course, the people Of the State have al
most unlimited confidence in his integrity,
and as We have remarked above, this an
pouncement Of his determination to with
draw from the field, will be received every
where with surprise, and with a very gen.
eral feeling Of regret.
In private letter to the editor Of the Os-
wego Iadependent, Mr.. Lowe thus explains
the reasons that have governed him in tax
ing this step:
In regard to my candidacy, after looking
at the matter carefully / have determined
not to seek reelection, and send to-day
to the Fort Scott Monitor, a card declining
candidacy. am impelled to this not by
conviction that could not succeed, but
because justice t. myself, my family and
my future will not permit me to waste the
few remaining working years Of my life in a
business that fails to be remunerative eitheI
in honOrs or money.
There is no doubt that Judge Lowe fairl,
and honestly states in the foregoing note thu
reasons that impelled him to the course IN
has elected to pursue. The honor Of beinl
a member Of Congress at the present. time j
a matter not worth striving for, and the pa.
If man is honest-is not as much As
lawyer, with fair professional reputation
can make at home, where his expenses vii
not be half so great.

IT Is HOT TRUE.

The Changers seem perfectly fat;s6td
With the tons iclion of Smith. They do not
ask for lis imprisonment. All they desire
lie to tee refutation of the oft repeated as-
sertion that a uaa can deliberately steal
from the peoI lie and then 80 UNIV hipt Of JUS
tice.
The above appeared in Sunday mornings
TINES without authority. So far as We have
heard, Changers and all other honest men
say they are satisfied with the conviction Of
Smith, and they do think the requirements
OF law and justice demand his imprisonment.
Geo. S. Smith has for years deliberately
pursued dishonest course. He has been
an habitual liar, and there is no sense in the
sickly appeal OF Deacon Houston for mercy
i'm behalf of Deacon Smith. 1t is not a
question before the people as to what the
Changers think We have no doubt their
heads are level on this subject, but it is a
question whether the man who steals SCI 600
of the peoples money shall be dealt with
more leniently than the man who steals
loaf of bread to save his wife and children
from starvation.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

The United States Circuit Court, at Spring
field, to-day, decided against the applica-
ton for the transfer OF the State suits against
the Chicago and Alton Railroad for viola
ton of the new railway law, from the State
Courts to that Court, and quashed the writ
of certiorari. These cases will, Therefore,
now be tried in the State Courts in which
they. were originally instituted.-Chicdgo
Journal, 18th.
This is another victory for the people
over the railroads, and compels the Illinois
railroads to defend for violations Of the
State law, before the State Courts. Every
where, except in Leavenworth, the cause Of
the people is making progres, and the rail-
roads are being compelled to respect the
law. Other cities, circumstanced exactly as
we are, have sued for their rights and gained
them, but while railroads that have been
built at our expense are violating every line
and syllable of their contracts with us, no
movement is made by the custodians Of our
interests to bring our delinquent roads to
tens. Our rights are perfectly clear, the
law is upon our side, the courts stand open
to Us and ready to give us justice whenever
we make up our minds To c-h lar a. hen
if We continue to stand ia, u. - IDLE specta-
tors. while the roads that have been built
with our money are operatedto our injury,
who is to blame for il ii We are robbed,

HE ALWAYS PUTS HIS FOOT IN II.

The Leavenworth Commercial published
the amendment offered by Mr.. Cobb to the
appropriation bill providing for paying the
laborers under government the difference in
wages to which they are entitled under the
eight hour law as extra work, when laborlng
more than eight hours a day, and stigma
tiled il As back pay grab. The working
men of Leavenworth met the other evening
and passed series of resolutions sustaining
Mr. Cobb and denonncing the Commercial
Il peLd Commonwealth.
Col. Cobb has most ably advocated the
claims OF the working men Of Kansas, and
writes Us that he will ultimately succeed.
He also saws that his colleagues have heart
lily co-operated with him in his efforts. The
course OF the Commercial in opposing the
payment OF nearly one hundred thousand
dollars to our poorer class of working men Is
inexplicable. The amount would he dis
tributed among several thousand individuals
most OF them in moderate circumstances. If
some rich individual was to receive $780,
900 for his salary as United States Marshal
for Only three years service, Deacon Hous-
ton would not oppose it.

THE WHY OF II.

why is it" inquiries Democratic paper,
"that exposures Of defalcations and rascali-
ties in Office are OF daily occurance under
Republican rule, and were seldom known in
the days when the Democratic party gov
erned the country"
As this conundrum is addressed to THE
TINES, we proceed to guess" and do no,
ask for more than one chance: Since the
Republican party came intopower the policy
of the government has been to search OIL,
and expose official corruption wherever il
might exist Under Democratic rule the
policy was to carefully cover up and conceal
from the public every act Of official misde
meanor That's why.

A sLANpE1 AND A FRAUD.

The Leavenworth Times has intimated
several times this summer that Senator
Winter is candidate for governor. Desir-
ing to know the facts in the case, the Com
monucattk several days ago sent letter to
the senator, inquiring if the statement Of the
Times was correct. The eloquent champion
Of civil, religious and patent rights, replies
to our letter as follows: Il am not candi-
date for governor, or for any other
position in the gift Of my con-
stituents The story is an invention
Of the enemy's. / am not running for office;
I've got the rheumatism and can't rum
Commonwealth.
We believe the foregoing to he Islander
and fraud-a nineteen carat libel Of the
dirtiest water. After Matchmaking the SEN
ator last winter, and accepting bribe from
him, the Commonwealth is hardly the paper
for us to look to for any honest support Of
him, but it begins to see now that he is the
coming man, and therefore it tacks about
and tries to make the public believe that he
has constituted that Journal his eonfiden.
tial advisor. But we don't believe word Of
it. We don't believe the Commonwealth man
would have the cheek to write to the Senator
after that twenty dollar transaction, and We
don't believe the Senator ever sent such q
reply as that to the Commommeatth-especial.
" the last line-for when We saw him, not q
week ago, he stepped with all the agility and
elasticity Of boy Of sixteen, and his erect
form and commanding aspect, reminded us
more than ever of Henry Clay. We do not
hesitate to pronounce the rheumatism part Of
the above an unmitigated falsehood,
manufactured in the Commonwealth
office, in the interest of Osborn or
Smallwood. And as to the rest,
We happen to know, from a conversation
with Senator Winter, only few days ago,
that while he is not candidate for Govern
or in the sense that other men are candi-
dates, he can be persuaded to forego the
comforts and pleasures Of private life to
take the helm of State, il the people insist
upon it, but if the Commonwealth expects to
get another twenty dollar fee out Of him it
will be very much mistaken, for when next
he leaves his pillow, Cincinnatus like, to enter
the turbulent arena Of political life, it must
be in answer to the unsolicited demands Of
his countrymen. 1t seems to rs that little
more gratitude on the part of the Common
uealh, and a little more fairness in its treat
ment of the Senator, would be more
becoming in Journal that has been fed by
his bounty. Ii Elijah had gone back on the
ravens, his ingratitude would not have been
more base than Is that of the Commonwealth.

THE COMMERCIAL AND THE WORKING
MEN

With all due respects to the efforts Of our
Congressman, We must say that in our opin-
ion the amendment would not be Just or
right Ii the number Of houn labor is re-
duced, We believe the value is reduced in
proportion The great effort OF this genera
ton is to get something for nothing.
We believe in protecting the laborer 80
that he cannot be compelled to work more
than eight hours in each day, if he does not
wish 10. But We cannot see the justice of
compelling the employer to pay the full
price of ten hours work for eight hours. We
think the house did we'll in voting the
amendment down, only twenty-eight voting
in its favor 20th.
The amendment to which the above para
graph refers was to allow working-men in
the employ OF the Government pay for labor
that they have performed during several
years past, in excess of the legal days work,
and to pay them a part OF their wages which
has been held back.
This amendment, ii it had passed, would
have distributed among the working men of
this State NEARLY all in this immediate Vi
cinity-between sixty and eighty thousand
dollars.
When Congress passed the eight-hour law
it intended to benefit the working men, and
If it had been the intention to cut down the
pay Of iaboren in proportion as the hours Of
labor were reduced, there would have been
NO sense in the bill at all; therefore this was
clearly not the intention of the Law, never
theless, number Of officers in charge of the
Government work SO interpreted it, and
acted accordingly, paying their men only
four-6fths Of the usual wages, and the object
Of this amendment, which Mr.. Cobb favored
and Deacon Houston opposes was to pay
the amount that had been held back.
In the same issue of his paper Deacon
Houston finds room for an article defending
monopolies.

on to it an amendment making the rate OF
postage to Ike prepaid on newspapers four
cents per pound, instead of one and hall
cents and making the law to take effect I'M

Az ARLE DOCUNENT.

We would call the particular attention OF
the people OF Kansas to the very able speech
of Hon. S. A. Cobb, which is published In
full in our columns this morning. The doc
ument referred 10 is an argument in favor OF
the measure before the House for making an
appropriation to improve the mouth OF the
Mississippi river, and is Mr.. Cobbs ablest
effort in Congress. He shows in a very clear
and forcible manner the necessity OF the
work under consideration-not as local
improvement, but as a measure demanded
by the best interests Of all the great interior
States Of the Union, which have their most
direct natural approach to the sea board by
way of the great river. 1t abounds in ster-
ling arguments, such as will commend them
selves to the reason and good sense Of the
people Of the country.

A GOOD WORD FOR OLD pom.

In his morning sermon last Sunday Mr..

which was not ont of place, and contained
more good religion than some sermons OF an
hours length. lie was speaking of the
proneness of the world to kick man be-
cause he is down. and illustrated ii by the
fate Of Pomeroy, stating that the men who
had received the most favors from him, who
had lived for years upon his bounty, and
were ready at any moment to lick his boots
when he was in power, were the first TO tum
and rend him when he fell from Office.
