The Wimbledon Victory.

Our English cousins, we are sure regret
their refusal TO allow our rihemen to COM
peto for the Elcho Shield 1t would have
been so much more satisfactory to have been
worsted in manly stand-up fight than to
have been beaten at second hand that the
Britishers may well feel some chagrin at the
humiliation they have suffered. No doubt
their refusal to allow the Americans to par
ticipate in the match was founded on pru-
dental reasons, but it was the tabled
prudence of the ostrich that bures its
head in the sand and imagines itself safe
from pursuit. BY refusing to admit the
Americans on one plea or another the English
hoped to stave off comparison with themselves
They would have been willing enough to
pooh-pooh the victory won at Dollymount
without risking the experiment of trial of
skill; but the result of the contest for the
Elcho Shield puts this out of their power
1t demonstrates clearly that the reason why
the Americans were not permitted to shoot
for the 'sShield'' was the fear that they would
renew their victories of Creedmoor and Dolly
mount That this fear was well founded has
been fully proved by the record of the scores,
the av rage of the shooting done by the
winning team falling far below what even the
defeated team accomplished at Dollymount,
1t was notorious before the contest came off
that the team representing Ireland was by no
means a very good representation of the
Green ISLE For some reason, which the tele-
graph has not explained, two of the best
marksmen of the Irish team withdrew Their
places were filled on the very eve of the con-
test by rifemen who, though good shots,
were not equal to Messrs. McKenna and Pol
lock, who retired. This change in the COM
position OF the Irish eight was favorable to
the English and Scotch, and this was so
strongly felt that the defeat of the Irish was
looked upon as certain. The English and
Scotch teams have not even the consolation
strong team as the Americans triumphed
over. Our rihemen in view of all these facts,
may fairly lay claim to the championship of
the world. On two occasions they have over
come the best marksmen that the United
Kingdom could produce; and not alone did

scores than have ever been made OF any time
by any other rifemen on record. Much OF
their success is, no doubt, due to the splendid
accuracy of their rifles; and the victory won
by American nerve and eye has been
equalled by the victory won by American
craftsmanship. If any doubts remain in the
minds of the English and Scotch teams as to
the extent of our victory we shall be glad to

have little faith in committees of investigation,
but the exposure of police inefficiency and
corruption which excites public wonder is an
exception. 1t is quite possible that very few

mate result will be the retiring into private

The EMIGRANT COMMISSION. inves-
tigation by the Legislative Committee into
the affairs of the Emigrant Commission
promises some spicy developments. The
fight against tho Commission is carried on
wholly in the interests Of foreign steamship
companies, who would naturally like to abol-
ish the tax on emigrants. But 1t is desirable
that some provision should be made for the
poor who are thrown friendless on our shores,
and as these foreign companies make
their immense profits largely out Of the emf
grant trade it is only right they should be
compelled to contribute to the support Of the
helpless or the worthless they convey to this
country. We do not believe in the advisa-
bility of imposing heavy head tar, but some
provision must be made for the protection
and aid of the emigrants. The Emigrant
Commission, no doubt, is not perfect; but il

FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD.

The good, pure, amiable, immaculate,
pious and honest Jeems F. Legate in the
Commercial yesterday morning, advises the
School Board to quietly admit the colored
children into the white schools. Now this is
remarkably sensible on the part Of so inge-
nuous and innocent a man as Jeems, and
demonstrates that he still retains some Of
the attributes which have made him a
prominent politician"-yet person unac-
quainted with the true goodness of Jeems'
heart, would be apt to remark, that he was
endeavoring to compel body of men to do
the very thing, which he himself, when in
the proper position was afraid to do.
Some years ago this same man was a
member of the Kansas Legislature, and
when the question was introduced voted
against admitting the colored children into
the white schools. He betrayed the
colored people, and at this late day seeks
their friendship by asking the School
Board TO admit the colored boy. Jeems,
The TINES would willingly be your friend
If YOU were honorable and consistent, but
we cannot honestly explain this seeming
Inconsistency. However, if you are really
in earnest, and mean what you write, why
not call meeting at some saloon and read
the members of the School Board out of the
party. Your previous experience in this
line might aid you, and the unlucky mem
bers would be compelled to resign. Then
The TMEs will nominate Jeems for the
School Board from the Third Ward, but in
bringing his name before the public, We
must be assured that there will he no oppO-
sitiOn, as we do not wish to see truly good
man oycm slaughtered By his orrn party.

TIE HIdE SCHOOL.

The action Of the Board of Education, at
the last meeting, in voting down the reso-
lutions offered by Col. d. NJ. Swan, has
caused much discussion throughout the
city. OF course, all who are free from pre-
iudice are in favor of admitting colored
students to the High School Ii may safe
ly be asserted that all who are honestly in
favor Of an economical administration Of
the Board of Education will, upon mature
elaboration, favor the proposition OF adj
hitting colored students to the High School.
We are told that there is but one app!i-
cant now, and that there will not be this
year over five or six in all. Under these
circumstances, We fail to see any good rea-
son, even with those who may have preju-
dices, for opposing the resolution. The cost
of maintaining High School for colored
students is very great, and the number to
be accommodated very few. Will not a
wise and generous Board of Education set
tie the difficulty at once by admitting all
colored students to the High School?
1t seems to us that common sense dictates
this prompt action. On our recent visit to
the East we visited some of the public
schools in the larger cities-the very best
public schools in the land-and there we
saw white and colored children attending
the same school, all ENJOYING the same priv
ileges, without the least dissatisfaction be-
ing manifested.
A trial here of one term would settle the
question forever. The time will surely
come, and that soon no earthly power can
prevent it. Then why delay? Settle the
question now-settle it right, and forever.

READ THIS.

The following from the Chicago Tribune,
the ablest and truest Republican newspaper
in the country, we submit to our readers
without comment:
The las. man read out Of the party is

worth TINES. The Colonel, it will be re-
membered, carries in his head half-ounce

some time since, who thought thereby TO
silence the criticism of the Leavenworth
TINES. On the night Col. Anthony was
shot, Mr.. ". II. Bond, of Leavenworth,
drank toast to Anthony's death. Some
how Bond secured the nomination on the
local Republican ticket for an Insignificant
Office, and Col. Anthony, while supporting
the ticket, opposed the candidate
who had so heartily approved the
attempt to assassinate him (Anthony).
Therefore, the County Committee proceed
ed to read Anthony out of the party, and
have denounced him and his paper as un-
worthy the support of the party. Accord
ing 10 the ideas of the small politicians Of
the Committee, the proper thing for Antho-
nv to have done wonld have been to enthu-
siastically support the candidate who had
enthusiastically Endorsed the attempt on
his (Anthony's) life The latter will, how
ever, survive the communication a. he
did the bullet of his assailant, and may,
through his paper, vet teach the County
Committee that it has no authority to speak
for the party.

TOPEKA, November Gov. Osborn to-
day asked the official opinion OF the Attor-
ney- General As to whether there could lie
session of the legislature in 1876, without
its being convened in extraordinary session
by a proclamation Of the Governor. This
question arises from the fact that there
we're three amendments to the constitution
adopted at the late election, and they are 80
worded that there is a doubt as to their
effect 1t is claimed by some that there
can be no regular session next
winter, and if the Legislature
is convened in special session, it cannot
raise any revenue to carry on the govern

In another column will be found very
forcible and well-writien article from the
Kansas Eric Pese. All men who love JUS
tice and right should read it, and see what
an intelligent and truthful editor thinks Of
the demagogues who attempted to ''read
Col. Anthony out of the party. The edito-
rial from the Freie-Pfesse will meet the ap-
proval Of every honest man in the State Of
Kansas. A saloon is not the place, or a
corrupt scoundrel the man to teach life
long Republican his duty to the old party
of freedom. The opinions of our German
neighbors are the same as expressed by
every fair-minded citizen of Leavenworth.
The Haberlein Brothers are men whom We
all know, respect and trust. They publish
the best German daily newspaper in the
West, and are meeting with merited success.
Their paper cannot be controlled by rings,
cliques, OF corrupt demagogues, and when
they speak their remarks are worthy OF the
greatest attention. The Freie Pesse, on
this subject, reflects the views Of the whole
county.
