MANUFACTURING.

Tie development of the manufactures
interests Of Lcavenworth is . subject that
as well deserves The attention and consider-
alton of the board of trade, rs railroads. or
anv other feature of public improvement.
The manufacturing establishments that We
already have are doing as much good for
Leavenworth a. her railroad lines, not only
in furnishing permanent employment to .
large number Of men, but in steadily ad-
vertising the town all over the Wet.
Thousands Of articles manufactured in
Leavenworth, and bearing the name of the
city, find their way annually to nearly all
sections OF the country, especially West of
the Mississippi, and thus become perpetual
advertisers tor US. And our facilities in
this direction have hardly begun to be de-
veloped: our central location, our ready
access to ali parts Of the world, our cheap
fuel, and the rich agricultural districts by
which We are surrounded on both sides of
the river-rendering farm produce of every
Kind comparatively cheap, and furnishing
. ready and valuable home market for a
large share Of our manufactured articler,-'
all combine to give rs advantages for man.
superior to those enjoyed BY any
other western town. IL would Be folly to
attempt to set bounds to our Possibilities
II this direction. We have the room and
the facilities for notwithstanding all the
goods that the State Of Kansas requires.
and all that il wanted Is to develop our
resources, and bring out our latent abili.
ties. Every new factory Of any kind. vhesh.
er small or great. is new element
Of growth, and strength. and wealth, not
only to the city Of Leavenworth but to IN.

ANINPERTINENT DEMAND.

At the last meeting Of the directors OF
the penitentiary, Samuel J. Crawford, one
OF the directors, received q private letter
from the governor demanding the appoint
ment Of his son, George II. Anthony, as
chief clerk of that institution, in place Of
Harry Fields. The other directors not be-
ing present at the time Of the receipt Of
the letter, he concluded to answer, and did
20 by telegraph, informing the governor that
he would see that his son Was appointed.
When the full board came together, Mr..
Crawford laid the governors letter before
them. 1t is reported that both Mr.. Grover
and Col. Mckay objected to the appoint
ment of George II. because of his we'll
known unfitness for that or any other posi-
ton. 1t is generally acknowledged that
the boy is totally unfit. Those who are ac-
quainted with him say he has neither abil-
iiy nor correct notions of business. We are
informed tina. the letter from the governor
to Crawford, demanded An immediate re-
ply. We are also informed that Mr.. Fields
was requested to hand in his resignation
at the next meeting of the board. Our in
formation is reliable.
Maj. Hopkins should have clerk in full
accord with himself. 1t is all important to
secure the harmonious working Of the ex-
ecutive department of that institution. 1,
is anything but fair to impose an igno-
ramur, one who Is hardly considered half
witted, upon him to, occupy the responsib
position of chief clerk. The audacity Of
such demand from the governor is only
exceeded by the demand for an instant re-
ply.
No comments are needed. 1t is evident
that the public good was not the end
sought by the governor.
We learn also, that all, or at least tso Of
the dir, ctors, know the facts regarding the
young mans fitness eO we'll that they talk
ed of resigning rather than comply with
the Governors demand.
They have no right to resign under such
They should simply stand
BY their convictions a. sworn officials and
do their duty, do that which they deem
best for the interests of the state. We i'm
agine if this demand is insisted upon and
granted, that public sentiment will condemn
all the parties who aid in its consummation

An Assault.

After two days it is scarcely necessary to
revert TO the assault committed upon Mr..
Swayze by Bubby Wilson, as nearly every
body has heard of it, and have probably
formed their conclusions relative to it. For
the purpose Of truth, however, We desire to
STATE that the ver-ion contained in yester-
day's Commonwealth is false on general prin-
cip!es, and based on the inordinaie love Old
Baker bears for US. He attempts to make
il appear that We vrongfully assailed the
character Of Wilson-that ir, that We have
no right to expose disgrsceful facts about
any man who is bigger than the edi-
tor of the Blade, no matter how much of 4
vagabond ne may be. But We are uDliAe the
Commonwealth in that particular; We have
never made any difference whether q man
was big or little We have always tried to
be on the side of truth and the bs.st interest
of the community, and We are 20 in this
case. Wilson il an unprincipled vsgsbond,
whose only merit is that he is more brute
than man be tries to associate with decent
people and conceal from them his habit of
visiting the worst slums of the city to
gamble and play the black-leg. Our object
was to expose this dupiici,y, 20 that all
might know who they were associatiDg
with, and this We claim is a legitimate duty
of the press, and one which we shall con-
tinue TO exercise, notwithstanding the as
sault upon the editor, or the contemplate
remarks Of the man whom the house OF
representatives condemned as = swindler.
The excuse for the assault was para
graph in Saturdays Blade, saying that
Bubby Wilson WAS . gambler. He met
Mr.. Swayzs on the crossing between the
Blade 9th e corner and the National Bank.
and said: "Sxsyze, what do you want to
publish me for?" and ere any answer was
offered he struck Mr.. s below the ear, ct is
said by some, With q stone which he held
in his HANDY and stunned him 60 that he
fell upon his knees. In that position Will
son seized urcn him and kicked him in the
face; but from the intuitive resistance
made by Mr. Swxyze and his efforts to get
hold Of Wil-on, but slight damage Was
attending to his duties for moment.
The statement that 4 crowd stood around
and said ego in Wilson, we'll pay the fine"
is an invention of the Commonwealth, and
comes a. near the truth as il ia in the habit
of. If it were true, what would people gen.
orally think of our city? We can find no.
body who heard such words spoken, though
Wilson had his pals near by, in case he
made a failure. "One eye" was not closed,
neither was his nose ''out of shape" Mr..
S. may have been SERVED right" in the es-
timstion Of Old Baker; but We did not ex-
pect him to feel otherwise, nor to have any
OF his sympathy. 1t is fortunate, however,
that we don't need it,
The numerous friends who called on Mr.
S. yesterday and to-day have his thanks.-

All Diseases of the Blood.

If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse

patient TO perfect health after trying different
physicians, many remedies, suffering for
years, is Ii not conclusive proof, II you are a
medicine performing such great cures: II
works in the blood, in the circulating mud.

HIS HOLMES, THE POPE
ROME, March Is The Pope delivered
allocution in a coLsistory which was held
at the Vatican yesterday. He passed in
review the events since 1870, and said Italy
took forcible possession Of Rome at an
epoch when generous nation was in sore
distress. He declared that the Italian &C.
clesiastical laws deprived him OF the
means Of administering to the church,
and left him only the liberty granted
by ordinary laws. He lamented his insbil-
ity TO prevent immortality from permeating
society.
IN CONCLUSIONS,
he pronounced conciliation impossible, and
appealed to foreign bi-hops to incite faith
fui to the good work of inducing their gov
ernmen:s to take the position of the Holy
See into consideration.
