NOT : PARTY QUESTION.

4 free Trade League has been organized
1t Topeka, Kansas. Among the member
are i. ". Giles, Henry King, John Martin,
e. VI. Peacock, !. K. Hudson, G. X. Ioli-
day, Wm p. Douthitt, w. c. Webb, Thos
Irvine. ". ii. Rossing ton, and Geo. X.
Peck. The only always-Republicans IN the
above list are King and Peck. While We
have national deot we shall have pretty
hish.tarifi, but there il abundant room for
revenue reform.-S Joseph Us5aih.
# there are any Republicans in that out
fit. they had better withdraw from il at tie
first opportunity. Republicans are sup
posed to know that free trade Is humbuE,
and they ought to know that the policy OF
the Republican party has been steadily IN
favor OF encouraging American labor anG
American manuiacturss.-H yIndotte Ga
Ssie.
If there are any Republicans Who DO not
believe in free trade they ought to know that
the Republican party has never declared
any policy IL relation TO the tariff, and
that this has always been regarded as
question upon which Republican may
take any position he pleases, without COM
promising his standing in the party. A
man who believes in free men, free soil, Tree
free speech free press, naturally believes
in free trade, yet many good Republicans
think that while We have a national debt
We shall have to submit TO a tariff, as q
necessary evil. The tariff, like the cur
rency, is question upon which the party
is l,ot committed, and it would be Just as
fair for US to question the standing Of Mr..
Taylor in the Republican party because he
believes in greenbacks, or spelling reform,
as it IS for him to question the Republican
ism of Henry King or George Peck because
they believe in free trade.

IN ELOQUENT EFFORT.

Our readers will find in our issue OF this
morning, copy of short speech delivered
in the Senre few days ago by Hon. John
J. Ingalls,, Senator from Kansas, which We
regard as one Of the Senator's most bril-
liant eiiorts. The State Of Massachusetts
presented to the Nation, statues Of John
Winthrop and Samuel Adams; the presen-
tati9n Addresses were delivered by the Sen
ztors from Massachusetts,, and Senator In
gals, of this STATE, had the honor of being
selected, by the Senate 10 respond, on behalf
Of the United States. The Grafton of Mr..
Ingalls, vas worthy Of the occasion, and one
which, for the purity of its English, and
the elegance OF its diction, will rank as the
equal CT the best productions Of modern
times.
During his three years Of service, Mr.. IN
gals has made Tor himself fiattering rep.
utaiion throughout the country, and justly
ranks Is one Of the finest scholars in the
United States Senate.

SENATORIAL.

As the time for the election OF U. s.
Senator draws near the question of the fit
ness of candidates is being discussed. There
ought TO be but one opinion among legisla-
tors and the people in reference TO the
qualities of fitness for the position, namely,
honesty and capacity. No man should be
elected against whom any crime or fraud
is fairly alleged. A decision of a court
against an individual should be conclusive
as to his disqualification unless he can
prove the judgment OF the court 10 be a
fraud and in violation of Law and evidence.
1t is no excuse for 4 person to claim he
has been unfairly dealt with. lie has no
business 10 Be a candidate irhiIe he rests under
cloud Let him first clear himself from the
impediment, and then come before the
people or the Legislature for favors
We trust no member of the Legislature
will disgrace himself, constituents and our
young State by casting vote for any man
whose record is not free ON the faint Of
fraud, or against whom there are plausible
charge Of crime. There are plenty of men
free from suspicion. The Commonwealth
cannot afford to have name and fame spot
ted by even the appearance of evil.
No man with bloody hands or the smell
OF fraud upon his garments should find sup
port for this honorable Oskaioosa
Independent.
We cordially endorse the above article
Select the ablest, the purest and the best
man in the State, for our next United States
Senator.

EEEaaFAsT.

Tie philosopher of the Philadelphia
Tunes thinks the great want of the AmeTi-
can people is better breakfagi, and argues
that If dinner is an index Of civilization,
breakfast is an instrument thereof, and
while much Of the moral depraSity OF the
world is due to the bad dinners. he thinks
fearful proportion of the physical ills OF
mankind are traceable ID bad breakfasts.
To come home TO an observed dinner, he
argues, may destroy ene's appetite and
temper Tor the evening, but bedtime viii
bring rest and calm. To rise TO an i'll
served breakfast units a man for the society
of his fellow beings all day long, and makes
it impossible for him to honestly earn his
dinner, and his conclusion is that while the
average American dinner is melancholy
example OF zeal without knowledge, and
consequent waste Of good material, the ay-
erage American breakfast displays neither
zeal nor knowledge, but the woeful dark
ness OF barbarisn.

BEN HILLS POSITION.

The letter OF Mr.. Benjamin II. Hill, Of
Georgia, which he has written for pubiica-
ton at the South, is summed up by the
Chicago Tribune, to mean that, as a Demo
Graf and Southerner, he will Use all his H.
fuence TO secure the Inauguration OF Mr.
Tilden in constitutional asd lawful man.
ner but that, If this fails, he will as an
American citizen, use all his influence to
prevent any attempt at forcible resistance
TO the Inauguration Of Mr.. Hayes. Ii this
be Mr.. HITS position, ii is entirely oonsis-
tent, and much more creditable than an Ell
deayor TO secure Mr.. Tilden's Inauguration
By threats of civil war IN the event that it
shall not come TO pass. II all the Demo
Gratis whose voices are for "wah" had had the
same experience with gunpowder that Mr..
Hill has had, and had seen their homes
destroyed, their relatives and friends shot
down in battle, and their own families suf-
fering the cruel depriva:ions Of war, they
would be better able TO appreciate the man
illness and patriotism of such position.

DNNT WANT IT.

We learn that 4. N. Blair, who was APP
pointed United States Collector in place of
G. T. Anthony, has failed to qualify, and
that II. Feagans, of Fort Scott, the Oldest
Deputy in the State, will receive the Office
from Mr. Anthony tomorrow, the LIST Of
January. We have known for some days
that Mr.. Blair would not take the Office
The bond that is required amounts TO
about $4,000, which he considers too
much for an Office that pays but S2,700,
with no chance 10 make cent except the
salsry.-TG9eLd Commonwealth.
We doubt the correctness of the above,
for Mr. Blair has all the time known the
amount of the bond required, and if he
thought it excessive he would probably
have said so before he was appointed and
confirmed. But if it il true that he de-
clines to qualify it viii have a good open

Convention who traded their votes to the
