No UNION PRINTER NEED APPLY.

We copy in another column the expert
ence of the Chicago Pos in Its efforts to get
rid Of Union printers. The action of the
Typographical Union in Chicago is but
rehash OF its action in other places The
public are familiar with the history Of The
TINES. The Union printers were thieves,
were lying, dishonest scoundrels, who would
organize in secret and attempt 10 brow-beat
and overawe the publisher. Their low,
cowardly vinGictiye course resulted in their
dismissal. They rallied in numbers and
filled TIE TINES office for the purpose
of intimidating US. When ordered to leave
under pain OF broken heads, they went I'M
tremendously. Drunken creatures con-
trolied the Union. The TINES got rid OF
them. 1t cost blood, hut, thank God, the
Union printers are gone. TIE TINES, for
years, has been run by men who own them
selves. No Union printer is employed-no
Union printer is allowed to enter the Office
Three years have proved the wisdom OF our
course. No drunken man has disgraced
The TINES office for that time. All goes
on smoothly. The TIMES owns and runs
itself No Union printer Iced apply Every
employe OF The TINES is promptly paid
in full each week. There il no grumbling,
no growing; all goes on peacefully, all are
happy, and The TIMFs continues to be the
most prosperous paper in the Missouri Val
ley, published at the low price of six dol
lars for daily and one dollar per year Tor
weexly-ihe leading paper in Kansas.

MIR TILDEN A FATALIST.

Mr. Tilden regards himself as the Man
of Destiny of the present age, and will not
be put down by adverse decisions. In
conversation with friend Immediately be-
fore the tribunal gave its verdict in the
great case of Righ, vs. Wrong in the ALI
gator State, Mr.. Tilden is represented as to
have said: 81 am a fatalist, Ia go far "a
l believe, as the representative of the Dem
ocra,s, the final decision will be in our
favor" 1t is we'll that Mr. Tilden feels as
it is represented he does. 1t serves TO keep
him in good huuor, and has as beneficial an
effect as would tonic or astiumlant. Napo-
leon never 1t better in his life than when,
on the morning of the 18Th of June, he rode
over the field OF Waterloo, and reckoped
upon the allied armies as already his own.
Napoleon was a fatalist, and he died upon
the rock of St. Helena, friendless and alone.
1t is not at ali probable that Gov. Hayes
will transport Tilden to Madagascar or the
Sandwich Islands, there to force him to re-
main until death shall forever count him
out, and it is best, perhaps. that they should
indulge this little hallucination to which
Mr.. Tilden has given himself, and allow
nothing to disturb the even tenor OF his
thoughts. 1t is further related of Mr.. Til
den that he said TO a personal friend whom
he requested to go to Washington: 'Say TO
our friends that they have no reason to be
depressed if the commission decides against
the democracy in the Florida case. ex-
pect the decision will be adverse, but DO
not encourage dependency. The loss Of
Florida will not surprise me, but there are
other points upon which am confident the
democracy will succeed"
II is evident that Mr.. Tilden does not
regard the still hunt as quite yet over.

HOUSE.

TOPEKA, February l2-Mr Alden rose 10
a question OF privilege ard read an extract
from Topeka correspondence OF the Kan
sa. City "iimes," ceB-uring a majority of
the house for adopting a resolution endors-
ing the action OF President Grant in send
ing troops south during the recent election
troubles. He thought ii was about time
that newspaper correspondent favored with
the courtesies of the house, should be re-
buked for such insulting language, as had
been used by the correspondent in question
He moved a suspension Of the ruler for the
purpose OF Considering the following resolu-
ton which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The correspondent of the
Kansas City Times, in letter from this
place, Of date February 10, 1877, in speak
ing Of large majority of the members of
this house, made use of The following in
salting Language. viz: "The Republicans
of Kansas have put themselves on the re-
cord a. favoring the bsyonet policy OF
Grant, and have demonstrated themselves
as set Of asses and also poltroons," and
also the following, 'On the latter resolu-
tions of the above there were 95 Republi-
cans who demonstrated themselves dam
phools, and put themselves on the record in
favor Of proposition which is an insult to
the good sense and patriotism Of every
lover OF free government" therefore.
Resolued, That therefore S. NJ. Ford, re-
porter and correspondent of the Kansas
Cit, Times, or any other agent of the Kan
sas City Times. be expelled from all priv
ileges OF the House, or the gallery Of the
same, until such time as the said Ford
shall make an apology acceptable to this
House, for the above language.
The words, COR any other agent Of the
Kansas City Times" were not in the resolu-
ton as introduced BY Mr. Alden, but were
inserted on motion Of Mr.. Webb, who said
that the proprietor of the Times was equal
ly guilty with the correspondent, in al ow-
ing the publication of the insulting letter.
Nj. Veale said he did not ui-h to vote to
expel dog from the house, particularly a
harmless one.
Mr.. Belts said the house ought to know
what kind of terrorism the Times CORES
pondeDt was trying TO est,bisb. This
morning Mr. Ford had come to him and de-
manded certain information, which he |
Bettisl had refused to give. Then, said
Ford, Pill fix you in the Tines
Mr. Chase moved that portion OF the res |
olution accepting an apology he stricken
out.
Mr.. Mohler objected to the motion Of Mr.. |
Chase, on the ground that opportunity |
ought to be given any body-esen q CORES
pondent of the Kansas City "Times"-to
make reparation.
Mr. Chase's motion was lost, and the res
olution was adopted.

FROM THE SUBURBS.


49,
There are those in this part of Kansas
who are glad TO know tina, our legislature
finally succeeded in electing United States
Senator. There are those who would have
been better satisfied had less time Of the
session and less OF the people'sm money been ex-
pended in the discharge OF thatduty. There
are those, too, who remark how the tone of
many papers in regard To the successful one
has changed, from damning faint praise,
and even pointed vituperation before the
election to unmixed adulation, nav that
the election is over Ineed hardly say that
the persons who remark these things are
not OF the class who live or expect to live
upon line crumbs that drop from official
tables.
On Wednesday evening OF this week the
voters of Sherman township will meet at
Lenspe, to make themselves heard with re-
gard TO the threatened confscaiion of their
property BY tax Lewis. } he people are he
coming aroused, and will work s9uarely up
to any line that will save them from an ex-
tortion that must prove trenely distress
ing, II not absolutely ruinous, TO perhaps,
majority OF the Taxpayers OF the county.
We are in favor Of compromisp, repudia-
ton, resolution, anything-even little
bulldozir il needs be-to project ourselves
agaiust the greed Of the bondholders Will
not some OF our friends in LeavenworIh,
who know what to say, and how to say ii,
with regard TO the mater in question, come
down and assist in carrying on the meeting?
The proceedings will be duly reported in
these columns.
Much enterprise is developing at Lyons
station. A fine tract OF bottom land az join
irg the Empire farm, was lately puIcha ed
by party of gentlemen from Joplin. They
propose forthwith to locate upon and i'm
prove their purchase. Lyons * Cleveland
are keeping good country store. Dr..
Lyons has his steam shelling and elevator
works in successful operation, ard pro
poses to add grinding facilities equal to the
demands OF the locality.
VI. A. Gordon Is putting up saw-mill,
near his residence and will have it running
in a few days. He proposes TO c1nv-rt all
the saving timber in that bend into mate
rial for building and fencing He is deal
ing also in grain, real estate ard cattle; he
is live man, and is doing much to keep
things lively in this part of the valley
They have made application at Lyons for
a post-office, and fine inducements are held
out there for b blacksmith, and mao with
