MIGHT HURT HIS PRIMARIES

The temperance people OF this city have al
last discovered the real character OF Deacon
Houston, and have found that on the temp
GRANGE question, as we'll as on every other,
he is irving to carry water on both shoul-
ders.
THE TINES has never pretended TO he a
temperance organ, but when the ladies Of
the temperance organization asked us, last
week. TO make notice OF their
State Convent on, We did it Immediately.
They made the same request OF MI. Houston
at the same time, but the notice did not APP
pear in the Com nercidl;; the ladies called
his attention 10 the fact, when he said he
had forgotten twas very sorry, and would
attend TO it at once again it did not ap-
pear, and again the ladies spoke TO him
about il. Not being able to lie out Of it any
longer, he owned mp that he had not pub
lished il because he was afraid it might in
jure his primaries. The ladies say they
have taken the mask off the Deacon, and
have exposed his hyPocricy. At their meet
ing Yesterday they handled him without
gloves. and resolved TO send their proceed
ings hereafter to THE TINES Republication.
They saw they have no Use for hypocrites.
A report OF yesterdays meeting is published
in another column.

UNCLE SAM TO THE RESCUE.

The grasshopper sufferers Of Nebraska Will
all, or nearly all, be provided for by the
General Government A late dispatch from
Omaha tells us that Gen. Ord has received
instructions from Washington TO employ rs
many OF the suffering inhabitants oil The
Loupe Valley as can he made useful, IN
supplying material for, and building the
new posts at the head OF the Valley, work on
which commences at once. Only the lower
Loupe Valley was devastated by grasshop'
pers, and its inhabitants will nearly all re,
main to work on and supply the post.
Itwould be a great blessing TO Kansas, in
this emergency, if We had some public work
in progress in the State, upon which a few
thousands Of the destitute settlers could be
furnished employment during part OF the
coming Fall and Winter.

COMPARE THEN.

William \. Phillips has been public
man for the last fifteen years, and during al
that time his integrity has never been ques
toned although constantly before the pub
lie, no breath Of suspicion has ever rested
upon him. During the past year and hall
he has been in the Congress OF the United
States, and daring that time his record has
been without blemish; his enemies have
been unable TO point to single act which
will not bear the test Of the closest scrutiny.
u. W. Houston, as the serviceable tool OF
Pomeroy and Clarke, was made United
States Marshal of this State-a position
that paws six thousand dollars 4 year. He
went into Office poor man, and when re-
moved, at the end Of three years, made oath
that he was worth ninety thousand dollars.
We call attention to these facts merely as
matters of history. Facts they are, and have
never been contradicted. Which OF these
men would the people prefer as their repre-.
sentative, and which would most likely be
chosen by convention opposed to eorrup-
ton? No comment is necessary.

Curious LOGIC.

The Atchison Champion seems TO take con-
siderable comfort in the reflection that the
Beecher business will at least do one thing
very efiectually, and that is, that if Will be
a death blow to the woman suffrage move
men,: and the Champions reason for think
ing 50 i. that nearly all the witnesses in the
case are prominent woman suffrage agita-
tors. We are satisfied that the editor OF the
Champion believes what he says, but We are
at . loss to know by what kind Of logic he is
able to reach such a conclusion. The CAdm-
m m doesn't think the affair will give
death blow, or even a serious wound, to the
christian religion. and yet both the principal
parties in the affair are shining lights in the
church--the one the foremost pastor OF the
world, and the other, one OF this pastor
most deyout Pensioners. Now, II the scan
dalous conduct of these persons Will not harm
the cause in which they are so prominently
engaged, pray why should the cause o.
woman suffrage he killed outright because
certain prominent sufiragists happen 10
tnow and tell of this scandalous conduct. IL
II 50 much worse to know OF other people $
sims than 10 commit the same yourself We
do not believe that this affair Will he
.death blow 10 either the church or The
suffrage movement, but whatever harm may
resul, from, il will fall more heavily upon
the cause Of those who committed the
ofense, than upon that Of those who told
abou, it. for if it was wrong for these suffrage
people to gossip about the matter, it was GER
tainly greater wrong for those religious
people to give the occasion for such gossip
