The Albany correspondent of the
Brooklyn Union gives this bit of Capital
gossip: A short time since Senator Ker,
nan visited the city and met Chief JUS
tice Church, with whom he conversed
upon the condition of the party. TWAS
conceded, so the story runs, that the re-
cent campaign bad left the Democratic
party of the State in very dIlapidated
condition in which quarreling, pickering,
division, and bad blood had taken the
place of harmony. Mr.. Church said to
the Senator: "You arc more responsible
for this condition of things than any
other man. You gave your adhesion to
Tllden, and here is the result"

kars - historic ground 10 Russians.
They have captured IL several times,
and the foreign correspondent of the
New York Times thus sketches two
memorable campaigns;
In 1928 General Paskcvi,en made his
campaign with thirty battalions OF in
fantry, nine squadrons of regular caval.
~, eleven regiments of Cossacks, and
eight batteries of field artillery. He
established the bulk of his forces at Alex
andropol. sent out two isolated corps 20
protect the towns Upos the Black Sea,
then marched Hpon kars and took pos
session of IL. He then waited until
spring before pushing forward to Err
roum, which he took on the 9th Of juno,
1929. In 1858 the Russians sgain con-
centrated their forces at Alexandropol,
having detached corps at Akhaltsieh
and Erivan. The Turks made the first
attack, and were repnlsed. In 1884
there was the same grouping Of troops.
A happy diversion of troops and a very
rapid march enabled them 20 defeat the
Turks before kars, but the revolt o;
Schamvl obliged them to stop their for
ward march. In 1855 General Moura.
viet adopted the plan OF operations
which had succeeded three times before,
and he also took possession o. kars in
spite oTthc heroic defense o: General
Williams.

The junction City Union has been
compelled 10 bring to its assistance q
patent inside. Without desiring to cast
any reflections upon the present excel
lent editors ability and capacity to run

that if Mr.. Martin had been SO placed that
he could have devoted his entire time
and attention 10 the management of the
Union, he would no doubt rather have
burned the whole concern up than resort
cd to patent. We believe the better
way is to wear your own clothcs-no

AZ Jefferson Sittv,
Kansas Fish.

ID. B. Long, State Commissioner Of
Fisheries, writes to the Topeka Com
monwealth calling public attention to
the fact that the laws of Kansas prohibit
the catching of fish with nets, seines or
otherwise, except with hook and line,
during the months of April, May and
June, and at no time whatever within
eighty rods Of any "fish way" or dam,
as he construcs the law. He has noticed
that this law has been violated in dis-
ferent parts of the State, and he appeals
to all parties guilty OF this wholesale
destruction and slaughter of the fish TO
fold up their nets and tacklins, and al
low tho few remaining fish now in oui
streams to deposit their spawn unmolest-
cd. IT they are allowed the freedom OF
going TO their spawning ground without
being caught or prevented by dams or
other distractions, our streams in few
! years will afford an abundant supply OF
4 cheap, wholesome food sufficient for all
Mr.. Long says that he does not wish 10
make trouble for any one, but the fish
must be protected, and be will prosecute
any ono guilty of violating the law.
He further states that arrangements
/ have been made with Professor 5. +
Baird, United States Fish Commissioner
/ 10 stock the Arkansas at Larned, the
Cottonwood at Florence, the Marias des
Cygnes at Reading, tho Smoky Hill a,
