the actual corruption in the case will rest

SEED FOR THE SPRING.

We know of no one thing the farmers of
Kansas want, when they are furnished with
subsistence for the winter more than seed
for the spring planting. They need seed,
and we cannot afford to lose the products of
thousands 90 acres for want of it. Gov.
Osborn, in his message, recommends the
Legislature to make provision for furnish
ing destitute settlers with the necessary seed,
and the Parsons-!Sun says that, while our
people here are not actually suffering for
the necessaries of life, still there are great
many of them who will have to be provided
with corn, potatoes. fax and the similar
seeds for their spnng planting" And if
the people in that neighborhood are suffer
ing, what are those further west to do ?
There is no time TO delay; some movement
must be made. We learn that Senator In
gals has made arrangements with the Com
missioner of Agriculture toward this end,
but that is not sufficient. This is suitable
occasion FOR the Patrons of Husbandry to
distinguish themselves and show that they
are in earnest in their professions of broth
erly love and mutual support

DRAWING IN OUR SCHOOLS.

Will it pay to make drawing part OF
the public school course? This question is
propounded by the New York Tribune, and
we think it deserves careful thought and
study; and in talking OF drawing, let our
arguments also apply to the following Of
teaching little children botany and other
advanced studies. Opinions as to the alb
stract value of the art are of little USE The
simple question is: Docs it pay to teach
drawing in the schools? 1t cannot be called
an accomplishment, nor is it useful in any
sense OF the word. 1t is conceded by all
that what the common schools should give
above everything else is good, sound, bus
iness education. That cons; derable num-
Der graduate from our High School, unable
to properly spell, write or compose an ordi-
nary letter, or to make mathematics avail
able outside of the transactions CT small
3 corner grocery store, is patent fact Until
we can have our system so arranged that
the English studies can be thoroughly
taught, it might be as well to keep drawing
out OF the schools.

THE REVIVAL Is OVER.


The revival is thing of the past. The
church members and non-professing chris
tians of Leavenworth have had lively two
weeks time of it. The TINES endeavored
to give full and true reports Of the meetings.
Acting fairly alike to the revivalist and to
our readers. We do not know how much
Mr.. Earle received for his services in this
city. He professed to find his reward in the
happiness it gave. him to preach the gospel.
But that would not pay his barber, nor his
railroad fare, and of course his friends
acted generously, and gave him as much as
they thought proper.
As Tor Bro. Hodges, he found his reward
in the large receipts from the sales Of his
little hymn books. We earnestly hope the
evangelist has benefited our city, and that
when he departs, and his voice is no longer
heard in our midst, that the fruits of his
labors will not fade away before next sum-
mer's sun. That those little boys Of four
and five years,who experienced change of
hear" will not forget Mr. Earle's teach
ings when they are obliged to use razor.
That those gentlemen who professed to love
their fellow-men, as their Creator loves
them, will live up to those doctrines, and not
drive poor widow from her home because
she can not pay her monthly rent That
they will not ask eighteen per cent. interest
on loan, and foreclose the mortgage in
stantly when due. Ths those ladies who
promised bcnceforth TO live for Christ, will
accordingly renounce the world, will for
sake their milliners shop, will endeayor
to live in accordance with their husbands
income, and not drive him to the brink OF
despair by reason of their extravaganza.
We hope that Mr. Earle feels benefited by
his trip, and his converts by his preaching,
and that the deacons and elders will re-
member that actions speak much louder
than wor,ls

upon TO select his successor. Many persons
apprehend serious trouble in this event, as
Germany viii be anxiods TO have voice
in the election, which, of course, will not be
allowed. And even If German Cardinal
be elected, the Italian clergy will resist this
innovation on time-honored custom OF Sc
Letting the Pope from that part of Europe.
1t seems to us that it would not be polite
in the Church to look to either of these
countries for head to crown with the mi
tire. France would, also, be equally OBJ
jectionable to Germany, and we think that
Archbishop Manning, of England, would
be the most sensible and happy choice.
Born and reared Protestant, in Protest
ant country, he would be acceptable to the
more liberal Catholics, while he is suffi-
GENTLY well grounded in the faith to be-
believe everything that comes from Rome,
and for that reason will please the ultramon-
tanes- Affairs in Europe do not now pre-
sent very peaceable aspect, and a small
spark would suffice to ignite the kindling,
which fame could only be quenched by the
blood of thousands.

IuL ALLEN.

Rise Up William Allen, Governor Of
Ohio, has been mentioned by many of the
opposition papers as q 6gure-head for the
next Democratic national ticket. But he
seems to have Withdrawn, and in his parlor
he has a life-size picture Of his son-in-law,
Allen G. Thurman, the Senator from the
same State, and beneath this portrait may
be seen the words "The next President of
the United States. Of course, nobody will
deny to Rise Up the pleasure Of seeing his
son-in-law's picture decorated with those
words. Bill Allen has just opened his eyes.
When he went to sleep he heard somebody
mention Thurman's name in connection with
the Presidency, and after years of sleep, he
wakes up, repeating the words. But We are
not going to concede that Bill Allen is q
Democratic prophet until he promises ms
that their candidate for vice-President will
be from Kansas. We want to see one Of
those men nominated who, On Friday, in the
Legislature, spoke in favor of oensuring
General Grant. How nice he would feel
before election, and how different after.

THE PURE.DENocRAcY.

The Democracy undoubtedly feel very
bad over the developments in the Pacific
Mail Investigation. Their battle cry last
November was, "The Republican party is
corrupt" and they pointed out many exam
pies of corruption in Republican Con-
gressmen. But, OF course, they studiously
avoided any allusion to the many
corrupt acts of their leaders. But,
notwithstanding this, the Pacific Mail sub
sidy fund was a source of considerable rev.
enne to these so-called reformers. Dom
Piatt, of the Washington Capital, with
whom most of the lies about President
Grant have originated, was convicted of re-
ceiying 5000; and Schumacher, another
Democratic bird, received, we think, $50
600. Yet the Democratic party is pure and
incorruptible. And then this sweet-scented
goose, better known as "Poor Pang," who
lives on the road from Topeka to Kansas
City, is another example. Nobody ever be
lieved anything he wrote, still he persist

crimes. But now, like Piatt and Schuma-

A Young Artist in the House

ACass avenue father procured an outfit
OF oil paints and brushes for his eight-year-
old son the other day, the lad having devel-
oped talent for drawing. Little was seen
Of the boy for two or three days, and then he
took his father and mother by the hand and
led them into the parlor, and triumphantly
pointed to the proofs OF his artistic skill.
The gilt paper on the walls formed a fine
ground work for him, and he had painted
a horse over one door, lion over another,
n bird over the third, and at intervals along
the walls he had brought out fighting dogs,
ships, fire engines, Indians in full dress, and
bears chasing boys. He had put a new
border on the bay window curtains, striped
the legs Of the piano, and had proceeded to
touch up and improve certain chromos and
oil paintings hanging on the walls. Father
and mother gazed around, and the yeung
artist anx;ously waited for them to pat him
on the head and say they were proud OF
such son. They didn't pat him-not very
much. The father placed the sons ear be
tween his thumb and finger, and led him
through several rooms to the woodshed, and
what followed may be inferred from a re-
mark by the hoy and overheard by pedes-

s,oushton in Defence Of the President

Mr.. E. Stoughton, a lawyer of fine abili-
ties ard gentleman of the old school
comes to the defence of presiden. Grant in
a long and elaborate article, appropriately
published in the New York Times. Thi:
seems the more remarkable because Mr.
Stoughton is known as a Democrat. We
have read his communication with the at
tention due to its author, whom it is a
pleasure to welcome, with his clear anG
classical style, in the field OF politics.
Mr.. Stoughton's main point, the burier
of his whole argument, seems to be that til,
assembly broken up by the military author
tiles in New Orleans was not legally Con
stitsted legislature. The Speaker and tn.
Clerk, he contends, had not been fairl,
elected, but had forcibly seized upon thu
offices which they pretended to hold.
But if all this is conceded it does not ap
pear to us to relieve the Federal authoritie
from the charge of undue interference. Tn,
main thing is not which way shall the ques
ton of the legality of the organization o
the Louisiana House Of Representatives b
decided, but Who shall decide it The oh
