Kansas News.

When 1t is not grasshopper news it
is something else equally fatal from
Kansas. The telegraph informs us
that in Leavenworth, Kansas, on the
18th, w. w. Embrey, editor of the
appeal, shot and fatally wounded Col.
d. r. Anthony, editor of the Times
and Postmaster of Leavenworth. AS
there are many Kansans present, to
whom Col. Anthony is as we'll known
as ex-senator Pomeroy, the news ex-
cited much comment and elected the
following facts of his eventful life:
Col. Anthony is brother of Susan
B. Anthony and came to Leavenworth,
Kansas, in 1859, as an insurance
agent, Immediately taking an active
part in the political fights prior to
Lincoln's election. AS part owner of
The Conservative, a rei-hot Radical
paper, he got considerable notoriety,
and at the commencement of the war
he was active in driving Democrats
out Of Kansas. In 1861 he shot the
editor of the Enquirer, Satterlee,
in the back and killed him,
and afterwards headed q mob
which threw the material 'of the pa
per into the Missouri river, and for
which the city of Leavenworth after
wards paid on Judgment $4,000. He
! helped to raise the noted 7th Kansas
cavalry, of jayhawking fame, with
Jennison as Lieut.. Colonel, but be-
came so obnoxious by his tyrannical
abuse of the men that he dare not stay
with the regiment, and was in 1852
sent by Gen. Thomas Ewing, jr., in
irons to Fort Leavenworth, and dis
missed the service, but afterwards had
his disabilities removed. In 1853 by
the help of Federal bayonets he was
elected Mayor of LeaveIworth, at the
same time holding the office of Post
master, but in 1904 was badly defeat ed
for reelection, and came near losing
his life in attempting to close the
polls. In 1855, 1858 and 1870 he was
again defeated for Mayor, but in 1872
was elected, there being no Demo-
cratic candidate. From 1870 to 1872,
he was chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. In 1853, he
had street affray with Jennison, his
former lieutenant colonel, shooting
him in the thigh and then running
away. In 1873, while he was in the
office of Mayor, he was elected to the
Legislature, and in 1874, just before
he left the Mayors office, was ap.
pointed Postmaster, which office he
still holds, unless relieved by death.
During his eventtul life, he has made
no friends, and has only been tolerated
because he had control of a newspaper
and was feared. He was constantly
deserting faithful friends and trying
to make terms with bitter enemies.
He advocated all the political rascality
of Jim Lane, Sidney Clarke, General
Blunt and Senator Pomeroy; was a
Grant elector in 1888, and yet was
totally unreliable as party man. He
was beau-ideal office-holder, and if
he dies, will be followed to his grave
by large concourse of grateful Kan
sans; but If he lives, they will regard
his recovery as another judgment on
the Republican party, as we'll as an
infiicti0n on the State.

Sad Tragedy at San Diego.

About O'Clock on Monday evening
San Diego was shocked to learn that
Mr.. J. G.. Maxwell, an old citizen, had
committed suicide in his store at the
foot Of Fifth street. The horrible
taking-off was accomplished by means
of a double-barreled shot gun, which
he fired into his head by pressing both
triggers with lath, causing instant
death. For several days prior to the
occurrence he had been quite despond-
ent, and it is supposed his morbid
melancholy produced insanity and
prompted suicide. His funeral took
place Tuesday, from the Presbyterian
church in San Diego. The deceased
leaves wife and several children to
mourn his untimely fate.

The wonderful capacity displayed by
Mr.. Carl Schurz for penetrating the in
tricate principles of our political system
by sampling its operation in some six Or
eight localities for few weeks in each,

"a FALLEN TOWER. u

Carl Schurz, the hero of Chancellors-
vile is giving lectures for the purpose OF
raising money enough to take him bae...
to Germany. The initial discourse was
delivered in st. Louis, where he took
occasion to put himself on footing with
Mrs. Micawber so far as any intention to
desert might be inferred He told the
Futures that he meant to stay with them all
his life (after he got back from Germany.
He might have entered more into details
and left notice that in case the American
government should chance to want a
laundering minister fora South American
State, or laundering General for another
battle Of the next war, or an egotistical
Senator in Congress, or failure of almost
any Sort he would return in time to ac-
cept the situation. The ex-senator adj
mitted that his career as statesman has
closed, but he hopes by agitation after he
comes back from Germany to receive a
little recognition. The audience being
inspired with great good humor, probably
on account of the speedy prospect of
getting rid of an impracticable agitator,
applauded his gassy utterances very
heartily.
Our good friends in st. Louis are bound
to be disappointed. They will, no doubt,
see their ex-senator return to them. He
never was treated SO well anywhere else,
and probably never will be again, even in
st. Louis. But he will come back, and
will be sure to want something when he
turns up. Though very small tower,
Carl is decidedly fallen one.

} ICED all political power and preferment in
I the State. They have laid. collected and

taxes, local az we'll as State.
All the taxes, local, as we'll as State!
Then the Republicans have laid the
tax Of two and half cents on city prop
erty, collected, spent, mis-spent or stolen.
This annual revenue, estimated at five
millions of dollars, collected and expend-
ed by the city Democratic authorities, Or
paid to the public creditors, has been so
| stolen by the Republicans, as we'll as the
smaller sum of a million and quarter,
imposed for the support of the State, and
applicable also, in part, to the payment
| of the public debt.
We do not see how the New York
| Herald can encourage the dissemination
of such ex parte Misrepresentation. 1t is
still more surprising that any newspaper
in New Orleans should republish state
ments which are, in the first place, not
true, and in the second place, represent
condition Of things SO depressed and so
deprayed that no one would come, or
stay here, unless they were attracted by
the alleged misery and corruption. We
note that the Times seems to have taken
especial charge Of the poverty and suffer-
ing which all deplore. When we look to
the past course Of that paper and its CO.
laborers it appears to be but the result of
a proper remorse for having for years past
labored to produce the misery they now
propose to relieve
This correspondence nuisance has done
mischief enough The New York Tribune
and New York World have blazoned
abroad the misery of Louisiana. 1t has
turned away immigration as from pest
house. 1t has diverted trade from mer-
chants placarded as on the path to bank
ruptcy. This has aided New York,
st. Louis and other cities contend
ing for our trade, and so may
meet the approval of the speculative
merchants Of those cities. Why journals |
which profess to belong to New Orleans
should lend their circulation to the un- |
contradicted SANDER of her people and |
her condition we can not understand. |
The poverty of our mechanics is chiefly |
due to the strife thus engendered, and to
the general distrust of all people. 1t is
we'll enough for this press to carry around
the aims basket to relieve evils which
they have contributed to produce, but we
think they would do better to employ
more temperate language, and above all
to arrest this nuisance of sensation cor

tinues. The mechanics of the city were
told that Governor Kellogg was the great
cause why their wages were not better,
their city taxes so high, and their food
cost SO much in market. The mechanics
have discovered that the passionate poll
ticians smooth their wrinkled front so
soon as they secure the softly cushioned
seats of the city administration. 1t is
not as easy for the mechanic to obtain an
interview as it was to get to the polls.
The mechanic, finds that the politicians
neither have houses to build nor mechan-
lcal trades to pursue.
To relieve the wants of industry requires
elsewhere cordial union Of all men, with
out regard to their political opinions. Here
the passionate politicians will not allow
such union. They would discharge an en-
ploye for giving an improper vote as soon
as for an improper act
The remedy for these commercial and
industrial troubles is calm and amicable
union of all men to consider the common
troubles and the common welfare. We
need a compromise of social as well
as of legislative action. We must
abate this destructive and scandalous
passion. 1t has made New Orleans
notorious for its strife. 1t has published
abroad representations of our condition
which deterS prudent OeODle from bring
ing their capital or themselves to take
risks which the passionate politicians
exaggerate. With more harmony and
greater respect for each other, the politi-
cal parties can do great deal to relieve
the embarrassment of our people. The
title of 'the passionate State will pass
away, and Louisiana will come into the
class of the peaceful States Of the Union.
