The Kansas Farmer, q comparison
paper speaks Of Judge Goodin's opposi.
ton to the Centennial appropriation bill
rs follows:
The citizens of Kansas will regret to
learn that Mr.. Jno. r. GOodin, represen-
tative from the Second Congressional
District in a recent speech, took strong
grounds against the approaching Centen-
NAL Exhibition at Philadelphia The
speech was made while Congress was
considering the appropriation asked to
aid the Exhibition. The Farmer. as its
readers we'll know, does not support ex-
travagant appropriations, but we cannot
but think it would have been National
disgrace for our Government to have
compromised this grand conception by
withholding its support. We cannot
think that Mr.. Goodin represented his
constituents.

In the Babcock trial the prosecution
have rested their case and the defense
are examining witnesses. President
Grants deposition is to the effect that
Gen. Babcock neither influenced nor at
tempted to influence him in the appoint
ment of any official involved in the
whisky ring; that he has known Babcock
for twelve years, and has never learned
anything to impair his confidence in his
honesty. Still, the, General may have
been out "with his little hatchet" with
out the President knowing it, and the
prosecution have produced number of
letters and dispatches that will have to
be explained to the satisfaction of the
jury or they will doubtless return q
verdict of guilty"

The Centennial year may not be noted
above Others for the commission of
crimes, but it is especially noted for the
conviction and punishment Of
criminals. Quite number of men in
different States, who but a few months
ago held high social and political posi-
tions and were honored and respected by
their fellow men, are now looking at the
world through the bars of State prisons.
Making haste to be rich" was the cause
of their sin and disgrace. A revision of
the present revenue laws and the manner
of collecting revenue is a matter worthy
the consideration of Congress.

In opposition to the proposition in the

commended that George Washington

SINCE Mckee has been convicted OF
belonging to the whisky ring it is
claimed that he is not a journalist. tits
stated in this way ::"Drawing dividends
from the earnings Of a newspaper does
not make a man a journalist any more
than drawing dividends from a street
railroad makes man q mule" Now if
