The far West, prolific in matchless scenery, is rap
idly ascending to the highest plane of the artis
tic in illustrated publications the grandeur of the
roundings and the eSharaon ofthe air appearing to
elevate the mind and the taste alike The Rocky
Mountain Tourist is, possibly, the most beautiful and
at the same time, suggestive exempfcation of this
influence yet finding its way to the world at large
and the Appletons will have look well to the lau
rels of their Picturesque Ameriea," and the Aldine"
folks keep careful eye upon the future, the
West will vet teach them lessons in the art
preservatve.- The Rocky Mountain Tourist is indeed
worthy of place in any gentleman's library by the
side of Picturesque America" and certainly no high
compliment could be paid it ItsIletter press is the
perfection of typographical excellence and its arrange
ment model for book printers the illustrations
lavshly scattered over its pages are superb in design
and execution. Many of them from the finest
drawings by Moran the subjects entirely new and the
ament and general character of each well worthy
that distinguished artists reputation Ofthe striking
views the several in Mancos and the McElmo Can
view, that of the Royal Gorge of the Arkan-
sas being by fifteen inches In all there some
forty of these exceedingly realistic engravings, all of
which equal, and many surpass, the finest works of
the Harpers The Tourist, aside from its Typography
and highly artistic illustrations is work of in
terest written, it is in easy and graphic vein
throughout There is strained effort at fowery
preston, stlted rhetoric, pedantic argument; on
the contrary the descriptive is vivid in clear cut de-
tail, gossipy in the fitting from point to point and
practical in every feature Mr. Pangborn the author,
is an old newspaper man, and the treatment of the
Tourist is of the journalistic order than of the
stereotyped book writer This leads to freshness and
originality, and while the interest of the reader is very
cleverly sustained to the end of the point that It's
fact rather than fancy guiding the writer is plainly
apparent to lend additional charm and lead the
reader to flights of really delightful anticipation Of
personal experience among the Alps of America. Re-
garding the Rocky Mountain Tourist beyond all
comparison the most elegant and complete publiea-
ton of description issued the Atchson, Topeka

it for the sole benefit of the thousands of patrons
who mako its line their grand thoroughfare to the
Mountains. The Rocky Mountain Tourist is there

write to T. j. Anderson, Topeka Kansas to receive it
without monsy and without price.

B- Onr. Washington correspondent, "Chow-
Chow" mnst entertain very mean opinion of
Senator Norton if he means what he says, in his
letter published this week. Senator Morton will
scarcely take it as a compliment, to be credited
with smothering his principles, and hypocritic-
ally pretending to endorse policy he detests,
and which is contrary to everything that he has
advocated all his political life, for the sake of
securing patronage, in the way of post-office ap.
pointments for his friends.

there recently. young lady school teacher at
Oregon, was killed, several weeks ago, by q
ruffian boy, who struck her on the breast while
she was correcting him; and last week, a young
man named Poe was poisoned. 1t was at first
thought to be case of suicide, but the belief
now is that the poison was placed by some one
else in beer which he drank.

B John T. Utt, General Ticket Agent of the A. &
n. Railroad, and old White Cloud boy. told us
time ago that Gatling, the inventor of the cele
bra.ed "Gatling gun, was at one time resident of
of White Cloud.-ChampioR.
DIR. Z. ]. Calling, the inventor of the Gatling
Gun, was never q resident of White Cloud He
was there in the Spring of 1857, and purchased a
large interest in the town, and also purchased a
considerable amount of land in the vicinity, at
the sales of the Iowa Trust Lands During that
and the following two years, he made frequent
visits to the town, and sometimes spent weeks
there; but his home was at indianapolis, and he
never claimed to be resident of Kansas. We
think he still owns considerable property at
White Cloud, but believe he has not visited the
town since the commencement Of the rebellion.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1877-05-31

MOTION ON THE SITUATIoN.-Senator Morton
has published long letter in the indianapolis
Joarnal, giving his views of the Southern stua-
tion and Hayes policy. He has no doubt that
Chamberlain and Packard were both fairly elec-
ted, and ought to have been sustained, but that
the President was powerles to do it. They were
deprived Of their offices by force; but the only
way in which they could be sustained was by
the use of the army, and Congress had refused
appropriations to support the army. Hayes
yielded to the inevitable, rather than struggle
against the inevitable, to fail ut last.
Here, then, is the humiliating confession that
the Government is unable to protect its citizens
in their rights A people who were lately in re-
bellion against the Government, but were defeat
ed and forgiven, resist the legally elected OFF,
GERS, and deprive them of their positions, and the
Government is powerless to extend to them the
protection granted by the Constitution. The
President abandons the effort to aid them, be-
cause failure seemed to be inevitable. When
this is the conclusion forced upon the statesman
ship of Senator Morton, it places the United
States in a humiliating light before the world.

q The Democrats of Missouri have just
shown how that party goes in for pacifcation,
where they are in power. Missouri is over
whelmingly Democratic, but there are few Re-
publicans in office throughout the State. The
late Legislature determined to remedy this, even
if they had to wipe out laws, m unicipal organi-
cations, and everything else then existing. They
re-districted the State for Congressman, so that
every District would be undoubtedly Democrat
ic. To effect this, they run the lines in all out
landish shapes, making each District a monstros-
ity in shape, without regard to convenience or any
interests the Counties might have in common.
They also passed a law ousting every County
Judge in the State from Office, and empowering
the Governor to appoint others in their stead
who will all be Democrats, of course.
