St HSEk'S -BAtGLE FLAG RESO.
RITInN

Everybody will remember the famou.
"olttle flag resolution introduced in the
United States Scnaigive or six years ago by
Senator Sumner, and will remember, too
the excitement and discussion it created al
the time-h0w Mr. Summers motives were
impuSned in various quarters by men who
were not worthy to unloose his shoes, and
how the state Of Massachusetts disgraced
herself 10y passing through her Legislature
series OF resolutions introduced bv a
drunken politician, repudiating her great
Senator-an act OF which she has since re-
pented in SacEcloth and ashes. And now
!; appears that Secretary of War McCrary
-whohas always been radical OF theradi-
ca.s-even an Iowa radieal-has just issued
an order which carries out TO the full the
object aimed at 10y Mr. Sumner in his reso-
lution. The fact is stated in Washington
dispatch OF the 18th, as follows:
The WAY department issued an order to-day.

iSier all mention OF battles of the rebellion
Al present the name of each regiment in the
roster is preceded by names of the battles In
winch II has taken part, beginning in some
cases with early Indian wars, with others in
Tie war II ls!2and running on through the
war OF the rebellion. The present order grasses
al tAelat;er and is in the same spirit as the
famous resolution introduced by Sumner,
erasing names OF battles of the rebellion from
baitie-ll-s of regiments.

ALAW SUIT WurR A MORAL,

few days ago the Journal called attention
to the fact that several suits were pending for
the recovery of real estate sold at sheriff and
trustees sales, where the publication of said
sales had been made in some one of the even
ing papers that have had a mushroom eNiS-
tence in Kansas City during the past lew
years. No ''proof OF publication" having
been furnished at the time, and the files of
these publications having been destroyed il
has opened several cases to expensive litiga-
ton.
Tuesday and Wednesday the circuit court
of Jackson county has been occupied in ease
of this kind, where a trustees sale was adyer-
tised in paper called the Chronicle Among
other things it is claimed that the CIrogicye
was not newspaper in the meaning of the
law. 1t is high time tTuftecS and others
should learn 10 protect the interest of trusts
reposed in them by the publication Of sales
in a proper manner. Occasions have occurred
where reference to the files of the journal
printed eleven years ago have saved property
valued at thous ,nds of sIollarS-E .Esas Cly
Journal.
\ good many eases OF this character will
be developed in Leavenworth county, some
OF these days. 1t is well known To every
attorney in the county, that scores OF sales
of real estate have been made by the
sheriff, during Mr. Bonds administration.
without having been legally advertised.
His advertisements were published for
long time in a sheet which purportcd 10 he
issued weekly, but which was, in fact. issu-
ed occasionally, frequently failing to appear
for several weeks at a time, and was not en-
titled TO transmission through the mails as
a regular publication" but had to pay
postage as though issued monthly, and was
without any bOH1 fde subscription list An
advertisement inserted in such publica-
tion as this would, of course, be no more a
legal notice than il printed on the back
side oi hand bill, and all sales made un-
der such notices are liable to be made sub
jects OF litigation Some of cur best at
torneys assert that parties who have pur-
chased property under such advertisements
can recover damages from the sheriff and
his bondsmen, especially since it can be
shown that be knew the advertisements |
were not legal when he made them. and |
whenever he had property to sell, which he |
expected to purchase himself, he always |
published his advertisements in legiti- |
mate newspaper. |

tween them al this period. The Commo-
dore's language TO William was sometimes
Offensive, and not at all complimentary.
and W lillian never resented any ill-natured
remarks The substance Of the Commo-
dores remarks was that William was def
cient IN brain. He often called William
A "BLATHEEsKITE' AND A SUCKER
i he latter was very common term with
him. William took it meekly and wiling
~. Mr.. Allen was asked to define what he
meant by willingly. He said that VIII
hams responses to abusive salutes from his
iather were NOT generally expressed in
words, but by an expression peculiar TO
him. a falling down Of his jaw, a sorrow
iui look, and whining sort OF voice. After
these Interview with the Commodore Will
liam would sometimes talk to Allen COM
pialningly. When he had got a rebuff from
the old man he would go to Allen and
tell hun about 1t, saying the old man
treated him badly that he had been to the
old man for money and been refused that
the old man was niggardly toward him, and
that II was hard work To get money ont of
him. Allen often saw William at his (Al-
ien's) house. At these times he would saw
oi his father that he was mean: that he
couldn't get anything out of him. and
couldn't get along without money. Mr.. AL.
len also corroborated the sensational state
ment with regard to the governcss and the
woman installed In her place un.il the re-
turn oil his mother from the asylum.

Bad Year for the ..Kunning OUT
business.

The Ishmaelite press of Kansas is CON-
posed OF few papers whose only principle
IS to fight somebody. They have no princi-
piles OF their own to advocate, but put IN
the time opposing what somebody else ad-
vOcates. Their highest ambition is TO beat
somebody. They run on high moral and
reform principles, until they strike some
body who will pay blood money. They
all have mission 10 perform, in electing tick
cts that would give them the control OF the
County patronage. Prominent among
these papers, are the Leavenworth Pres,
the Topeka BLIde, the Hiawatha Herald,
andsthe Troy Buie.ia. They have found
that Jordan is hard road to travel.--T he
Leayenworth Press has lost its whole ticket
The Topeka Bidde's ticket is beaten out Of
sight. The Hiawatha Herald, little more
lucky, has succeeded in defeating one candi-
date that it opposed. The Troy Bulletin
has been so completely showed under, that
only the faintest squeal can be heard. This
running out business doesn't always run in
the direction fellow wants it to.

EDITOR TIMEs:-"W. I. H." in your
issue of this morning makes the assertion
that There never was a legitimate railroad
bond issued in this county or state" and
cites ArticleXI., Sections OF the Constitution
as authority. That Section reads as fol-
lows:
Section S-The state shall never be a
party 10 carrying on any works OF internal
improvement"
Ii your correspondent had taken the trou-
bic to have examined Dassler's reports he
would have found that this Section, "Pro-
hibits the state as state, and not counties
from being parties in carrying on any works
OF internal Improvement"
1t cites the case of Leavenworth vs. Mil
Ter, Seventh Kansas, 479 which says
There is no express provision OF the Con-
stitution which prohibits the legislature
from authorizing counties to become stock
holders in railroad companies, and issuing
bonds in payment for such stock" And
again: Chapter Il, Laws OF lS65, &c,
authorizing counties and sites TO subscribe

bonds in payment OF the stock so subscribed,

He was afterward seen at Lafayette, Ind,

highly respectable citizen of this city.
While he and his excellent wife were

strayed from his comfortable home, a still
greater affiiction was visited upon them.
In one week four of their remaining chill
