There are fifteen foreigners in con-

Missouri, is a native OF Cologne, Germa-
ny, and is the only one Of fifteen who
has aay trace OF the foreign accent. 1t
is paradexical to hear this man apostro-
phizing America as his country, in words
where the sounds thicken to \ d, and the r
is almost lost. But the Senator's lam
guage is excellent. Whether hi: speech
is prepared or extempore, he speaks very
fuontly, and with'an appreciation OF the
delicate id;oraatic distinctions OF our
tongue that refutes Hammorton's max

LET THEN GO II THEY WISH.

Some of the anti-Administration fel-

palms in delight, because they fancy that
Senators Morton and Carpenter are on
the point of "liicking in the traces and
are about 10 go back on the Republi-
can party. We have observed nothing
to warrant this newl Pledged prediction.
But grant it all true, we cannot discover
that Republicans should be alarmed on
that account. Trunbull, Greeley, and
scores of others just as able as Morton
or Carpenter, severed their conncc-
ton with tho Republican party, and the
party yet survived. Its existence does
not depend on the fidelity Of few prom
insnt men, but upon the will of the
masses. Ii Morton and Carpenter prove
faithless to the party which has made
them all that they are, the Republican
party will move on as Ngloriously and
triumphan,ly as ever, hardly missin.

4 LITTLE GOSSIP.

Notwithstanding Pren,is' objection to
the press Of the State talking any more
about our congressional delegation, we
are disposed not to so back upon such a
fruitful source of gossip. We like to
talk about them and they like to be talk
cd about. Hence we proceed:
Our two S majors are quite likely to
remain Senators for another term zach,
at least. Senator Ingalls, present term
expires in 1879. II he makes no ssri-
Gus mistake in his public career, his fine
abilities, and his prominence in the coan-
try (Which we prcphesy he will attain),
will be sure earnest for his reelection II.
Senator Harvey's reputation for homes
ty will not be impaired, and his excel
lent good sense will have made him
scores of frieads and brought to him in
huence which many sensible, if not bril-
liant, Senators often WELD; and he will
undoubtedly be reelected at the end of
his present term of three years.
1t is hard to tell what will be become
of our delegation in the House. Much
depends upon what is done by our Leg
islature this winter towards apportion-
menr. If Judge Lowe is made L. S.
District Judge, he will probably have 4
successor from Southern Kansas. May
DO John &. Carpenter. If he is not to
wear the ermine of a Judge, he may
possibly DO defeated. tits hardly posi-
bic that S. A. Cobb will DO reelected to
Congress. People are disappointed in
him. lie might do for some public po-
sitious, but is hardly fitted for Congress.
There are too many men from his local
ity who are much better qualified for
Congress than he. Fenlon will loom
up rs a candidate so will half 4 dozen
other able men from Lcavenworth, Law
renee, Atchison and Topeka. Cobb is
likely TO have too much OF y war with
eastern or northern brains, TO succeed.
Will Col. Phillips be reelected? is the
last question. To answer honestly what
We think, We would be compelled to say
no. He injured his chances for Con-
gress somewhat in the late Senatorial
canvass. In the west We have mon who

entail. There are Slower, Hutchison,

Water as a Prcscryer ofButter.

The Utica Herald's daily editor says
After being duly packed wa,er-tight, the
packages may be placed in good, cold
water, such rs is found in good wells and
springs anywhere. Any such good well
of water may be used for this purpose,
only be sure the package is completely
under water always and if under water
several feet deep, it is no detriment, but
probably an advantage. 1t is not neces-
sary, but probably best, that the Packa-
ges should rest on tho clear ground at
the bottom of the well-not that any
harm would happen to the butter, but
the outside of the packages might get
soied and muddy. A deep tank, kept
full OF water from continually flowing
spring, may be the most desirable re-
ser7oir for keeping the butter in, if the
,anl, is well covered and kept from freez-
ing. No one need be surprised if butter
stored in this way be kept tor years as

The Osase Coded Lands.

The Usage Coded Land question is a
matter much talked about now, but poo
pie in this section Of the State seem TO
have very imperfect idea of what /,
involves, or of the real points of dispute
between the settlers and the railroad
companies. The following, we believe,
is succinct statement Of the facts in the
case:
In 1863 Congress granted the State
alternate sections OF strip of country
20 miles wide, to aid in constructing the
LeavenwOrth, Lawrence and Galveston
Railroad, the grant to take effect when
the road should be definitely located. Al
the same time the President was author.
lied to treat with the Indians and ex-
tinguish their title to lands in the south
crn part OF the State through which the
road would run. The Indians ccdcd a
strip of land 80 miles wide on the east.
ern side of their reservation for $500, 900
and the treaty was proclaimed in Janua-
ry, 1867. By the terms of the treaty,
these lands were not to be open to set
Element by preemption or homestead en-.
try, but were to be sold for cash /; one
section OF the treaty, however, allowing
actual settlers on the lands, at the time
the treaty was made, to preempt a quar-
ter section ut 81 % per acre, of whichpriv.
ilege many awaited themselves. When the
railroad located its line in 1867, the Land
Commissioner ruled. that the Company
could not take the alternate sections,
and that all must be sold. Secretary
Browning reversed this decision, and in
1868, the Government withdrew the
lands and the railroad r.or,gaged them.
Under joint resolution passed by Con
gross in April, 1869, large numbers OF
settlers purchased land .; Sl.25 an acre.
This continued until Secretary Delano
decided that the railroad had the right
TO alternate sections, and circular no
tees were sent to Is settlers from the
Topeka Land Office, informing them
that their homeste;Ids were cancelled"on
the application of the Railroad, for the
reason that the entry was made after
date of definite location Of the road,
though before the withdrawal OF the
land" from sale. The purchase money
was refunded, but 500, 900 acres, repre-
scented by over 5000 settlers, are still in
dispute. The Is homesteaders referred
to have occupied their lands in Anderson
and Linn counties for five year, and it
seems strange to them that the Govern
ment should have waited so long time
before informing them that the filing Of
their papers was irregular because of the
permanent location of the railroad at
the time. The old settlers claim that
when the original grant was made, in
1868, the Usage Indians still had pos
session of the title, and as they did not
ccdc their lands until 1867, the railroad
has no right to them.-Atchison Ctampi-

GOV. uaryey's Position.

1t was scarcely to have been expected
that any misunderstanding relative to
the position of Governor Harvey could
arise Immediately after his election, bat
it seems that there are those who under
any and all circumstances are ready 10
claim or assert anything they may think
would be favorable to themselves if true.
These are now representing Gov. Harvey
as a reformcr, meaning by that term that
he is not of the Republican party, but is
antagonistic to 1t. Gov. Harvey is IN
questionably reformer, but not in that
sense. lie has made an official record
as 4 refOrmer and has earnestly and
forcibly advocated reform through pub
to the Senate from Kansas, in conversa-
ton with reporter OF this paper, he re-
affirmed his previously expressed views
on the question Of reform, and pointed
to his official record as the best vindica-
ton of his position. He holds tho attain
ment OF the refoimatory ends he advo-
Gates Of paramount Importance, and is
willing, if need be, to sacrifice party
interests for what he believes TO be the
interests of the people and the country.
But when asked If he contemplated any
method of reform outside of the Repub-
lican party, with which he has always
been identiaed, he replied prompt
that he did not.
In national politics he will be found
in the future as in the past a stasnch Re
publican in Kansas politics he is the
representative of those of the Republi-
can party who desire to see corruption in
all its forms suppressed, and healthy,
careful and able administration take its
place. This element embraces nearly all
The people of Kansas. Beside it there
are two elements in Kansas politics
one demanding new party, in opposi-
ton to the Republican party and the
other still still clinging to the shadows
of past profligacy.
Gen Harvey has never been distinguish
ed for brilliancy; he is not what Is usually
called "smart man." that is, one who
unites brilliant talents with a lack OF
character. but be has shown himself TO
be a safe man, a man of more than ordl-
nary plain common sense and of unIIn-
peachablc integrity. 1t is this that gives
him his hold upon the Kansas people,
and was the underlying cause Of his
election. He will make fair Senator,
and one in whom the people will always
have confidence. 1t will not be so easy
to attach scandal TO his name as it has
been found to be IN other cases, for
in the first place there will be less occa-
sion tor dong it, and IN the second i,
will be moro difficult TO make people
believe it.-JoWndi Of Commerce.

General Harvey and the Indians.

General Harvey, whose name was
such a terror TO hostile Indians years
ago, was before the house committee on
military affairs the other day and was
asked to give his views in reference TO
matters. He gave it as his opinion
if the Indians were treated fairly thore
would never be any difficulties with
them. lie had known but two instances
IN which they had ever violated treaty
stipulations, and in these two instances
the Indians were to be cxcuS cd, for the
treaties had grown old before they were
sought to be enforced b. tho govern
ment, and the chiefs and head men who
had made them were all dead. The
troubles with Indians were principally
caused by fraudulent agents and by
whisky dealers. lie had never known
an Irdian agent who had not grown ricl;
in office except one. On being asked
how whisky sellers could be suppressed
ho answered without hesitation that they
should be hanged or shot by the nearest
military officer. lie would have officers
take that responsibility. lie was deci
dedly of the opinion that the manage
ment of Indians would be much more
efficiently and honestly conducted by
army officers than by civilians, unless
army officers had charged very much
since he knew them.
The secretary of the interior has sub
mitted to the house of representatives
proposed amendments to the Indian in
tercourse act Of 1896 designed to secure
the Indians in any locality against the Ii
quor traffic. 1t provides heavy penal
ties against any person, including In
dams, who shall sell, exchange, give,
barter or dispose OF any spirituous IL
quors or wines to any Indian under
charge of any Indian superintendent or
agent or to any Indian not a citizen of
the United States within such jurisdic-
