Y They are having tremendous time out
about Kirwin, because Col. Phillips has caused
the removal of one A. A. Thomas from the Land
Office. The Kirwin Chief says "the people of the
District have spoken with no uncertain sound
in favor of A. A. Thomas" and prOnounces the
doom of Col. Phillips for the dastardly act. We
do not know whether the Chief means this Con-
gressional District, or that Land District. If it
means the Congressional District, they haven't
spoken of it to any alarming extent. When any
one down this way speaks of it at all, it is gen.
orally to inquire, "Who in thunder is A. A. Thom-
as, any howP 1t is certain they don't care
continental about him. His removal will not
influence the election of three delegates to the
Congressional Convention-probably not even
the delegate from Phillips County.

aSo1. MILLER JUsTIcE!n-This is what the To-
peka Blade calls our article last week, concern
ing its course relative to the lottery. This Pc
culiar Justice, in this instance, consists in copy
ing two articles from the Blade of the same issue,
in favor of and against the lottery. Perhaps the
Blade will call it ''Sol. Miller justice" when we
remind it that it did not denouuce the lottery
until somebody stopped his paper because it en-
dorsed the lottery. However, this may have
been fiction on the part of the BLADE, to give 1t
an excuse for pitching into the lottery, because
the public demanded it,
The editor of the Blade assumes to be WONDER
fully independent and outspoken; bnt IL aa''y
exhibits specimens of "Swayze justice" that are
m ueh poorer articles than "Sol. Miller Justice"
Swayze's hatred of man includes all Things Win
which be is connected, and all who VIII not uhi'e
in that hatred. The Commonwealth, SO lar As VIC
have seen, has never published the lottery au'er-
tisement, nor even spoken word IN itS Ia'ori
yet the Blade daily denouces it as an upnoiuer Oh
the lottery swindle. Scarcely day passes, bnt
the Blade abuses Secretary Cavanaugh ior attach- :
ing the seal of the State to an endorsements OF
the lottery swindle. The laws of the state pre-
scribe in what manner associations may become
Incorporated, and when they comply with the
laws the Secretary of State is compelled to issue
the certificate prescribed by law. He has no
right to refuse, to decide whether the associ-
alton is a fraud or not. For complying with the
law, he is subjected to daily doses of "swayze
justice"
As to that local credited to the Blade, it is not
in our columns upon our own responsibility, but
is paid for, as an advertisement. We have no
authority to alter it; and as the editor of the
Blade did not order its publication, be has right
to alter its wording. We shall change or discon-
tinue it, whenever the parties paying for it SO
order.
But leaving ont the question of "Sol. Miller
Justice" and "Swayze justice" We again call the
Blades attention to the fact that, notwithstand-
ing its continued reiterations that the respecta-
BILE portion of the people of Topeka denounce the
lottery as fraud, it has not been able to publish
one word against it, over the signature of sim
gle respectable citizen of Topeka

II Mr.. Blaine, the other day, on the floor of
Congress, made thorough, unequivocal and
convincing denial of the corrupt railroad bond
transaction with which he has been charged.
He left no phase of the story untouched, but de-
MED the transaction in toto, directly or Indirect
ly, personally or through agents. The man Har-
rison of Indianapolis, who started the story, now
says that he did not say Blaine was the man, but
that it was prominent Republican. 1t seems
to be conceded that the story manufactured
in the interest of Moxa Morton.

stood that he was formerly Border Ruffian of
the most virulent type. The Ners is mistaken,

We have never heard him charged with Border

was among the first to enter the Union army,

Mo-, on Monday, in the 61st year of his age
Gen. Eastin edited the first newspaper in Kansas
the Leavenworth Herald, in 1854. The first
paper was issued under tree. Owing to the
bitter state of politics at the time, there were
many persons in Kansas who were not admirers
of Gen. Eastin. But he was personally good
man, and as time softened the unpleasant men,
ories of the troubulous times, the people of Kan
sas had come to regard him with more kindly
feelings.

nation must show that the act was premedita-
ted, and done with malice aforethought. Now,
this is coming down to business. poor fellow
who is taken suddenly, and loses control of him
self in the excitement of the moment, should
not be harassed and annoyed about it. 1t should
be duly proven that he had contemplated it for
some time, had fed himself up for the occasion,
and had declared his purpose to his friends. In
fact, it ought to be indispensable that he put
his intentions on record in the office of the Reg
lister of Deeds. Not only this, but it should be
necessary to prove that he committed the act
because he was mad at the girl, or in order to
spite her mother. Kansas believes in progress.

The best method of growing stock, to
make them most profitable for the dairy,
has recently been discussed at some
length by A. j.. fish, of Herkimer, in
the Utica Hermit. The prominent idea
to rear COWS for % fluent mixers" they
should have succuient font from their
birth till brought into milk, which, he
says. is at two years of age. if the ami
NAL is we'll raised. He argues that the
food of Il calf, when . change il made
from milk, should be cooked and fed
warm, or near the temperature of blood
heat, because it facilitates II more per-
feet digestion. for which the distrib-
uting functions are in waiting. This
position. he says, is fully demonstrated
by the fact that in the change from milk
to grosser food, the young animal shows
less thrift. proportionate to increased
functional labor required to fit the food
for assimilation. The calf adds more
weight in growth from a given amount
of food it takes during the first week,
than ever after. The extraordinary size
that calf will attain at eight months
old. having been supplied with all the
new milk it would take, three times a
day, compared with n calf otherwise
equal. except that its food is unpre
pared for ready assimilation, shows it
expedient to prepare the food rs near
as possible for ready distribution in the
system, especially for forced growth and
for mich cows
A skiIlful breeder. he argues. must
understand adapting the various kinds
Of food to develop essential points, and
fix them by habit in the constitution.
The functional relations in the animal
organism are based upon the principle
of demand and supply. Hence the early
exercise of the faculties most essential
to practical use.
He would have the animal reared on
food that is calculated to stimulate
a milky habit, and he would have the
animal g come in milk ut an early age,
thus educating her from birth to the
special purpose of the day. Mr.. Fish,
we understand. has been quite success
full in rearing deep mixers, and his
views are suggestive to those who are
growing stock for the dairy. 1ric"l-
