He Knows All A bout IT,
Fort Scott Monitor

A Canadian or an English editor, would
scornfully reject hint that he was not full
ly and thoroughly posted as to the affairs,
local and national, in the United States.
Mr.. VIM. Caruthers, handed us yesterday a
copy Of the Hamilton, Ontario, Spectator.
In it we find the following verification of
Ego away from home to hear the news "
and We can imagine the self-satisfaction
this innocent Canadian editor felt a. he
penned this item about the dreadful scourge:
"THAr RAGING FEvER.-News has Just
reached West Flamboro that Mr.. Mark
Echlin, who left the Upper Corners year
ago for Kansas. L., S, lost his wife and
child from the epidemic prevalent in that
part of the State, and that after Mr. Ech-
lin had started on his way back to C,nada
the American authorities prevented him
from leaving the country for fear Of spread

The Cleveland College Body y.>naich.
New York Tribune, 23.l


Body sna,ching is topic to which We re-
cur with great reluctance, disagreeable as
il is within itself, and calculated az il i. to
excite morbid public apprehensions. But
the developments at Cleveland leave us no
choice. We have already SPOKEN Of the
theft of the body of Mr.. Edwin French, and
its discovery at the Homeopathic Medical
College in that city. More remains to be
told. During the search for the rema Of
Mr. French the bodies of two old ladies
we're discovered. One OF them proved to be
that Of Mrs. Angeline Highly, late Of Gar
rettsville, and the other that Of Mrs. Pease,
which was buried in the Ravenna cemetery
on the Sd instant. Both bodies have been
perfectly identified, and their respective
graves have been found empty. The au-
tborjties Of the e eveland school have
heavy account TO settle both with the pub
lie and the Law. One Of the resurrection
lists will turn States evidence, and We shall
know the whole story, perhaps, about
other medical schools az we'll as
that at Cleveland. The faculty Of
the latter have been rearrested, as the
result of these new discoveries. We
wish that it were possible TO reconcile all
the circumstances with the innocence Of the
Professor, or to construct some theory by
which these educated men could be ab-
solved from completely with the low and
ignoran, wretches who supplied this horri-
bic booty We must say that no such
theory at presents suggests itself. Even to
krow only that a supply OF subjects for
their dis>ecting table was kept up, and to
make no inquiry as to its sources, vas In
itself culpable; We cannot help thinking
that this faculty must have known much
more. 1t is hardly worth while to invoke
certain and speedy justice upon the heads
of all concerned in these revolving crimes
In the present temper OF the public mind
at Cleveland, there will be no negligent
procrastiuation, and justice very slightly
tempered with mercy may be anticipated.
If punishment can ever be made exem-
plary, it surely should be in cases like
these.

A lg ID.

10 Geo. I. An'hon,, Gorenor Of Kansas:
SIR:-Last Saturday evening in the
course Of your public speech at Leaven-
| worth in front of the Continental Hotel,
you stated, according to a report which
challenges denial. Il propose during the
campaign to speak Of the crazy,
foolish, addle Drained nonsense of these
Greenback men, &c" 1t seems to me that
fewer adjectives all of the same purport
would have answered your purpose fully as
well but that is not what am driving
at"
Some time last summer, Governor Rob-
inson came out in letter advising his
Kansas Republican Greenback compatriots
not to leave the 'old party" but to remain
and fight for their cherished principles of
finance within its ranks. You, speaking at
Republican meeting with the prestige of
high Office conferred by Republican votes,
see tit to denouEce Greenback men as
propagators of "addle-brained nonesense.n
In so doing, do you speak er-cmhed,a for
the Republican party? Does allegiance to
that party bind us to regard and treat the
views OF Greenback men as "crazy noue-
sense" If so, 1t is time the fact were clear
ly established or is the above utterance
mere windy defamation of one speaking
without authority?
Campaign speaking is not argument. Are
you willing to make good your assertions
as to the sanity Of Greenback men and their
doctrines by argument? If so, here is an
opportunity. l offer to discuss with you
in the Leavenworth ZINES or any other pa
per Of general circulation in Kansas, the
following affirmative propositions:
l. There has been no material contrac-
tion Of the circulating medium of this
country since the closing years of the war.
=. The volume of currency now in cir
culation is sufficient for all the business re-
quirements of the country.
3. The resumption policy legalized in |
the act of &c, was right and ought to be |
adhered to.
4. A currency based upon gold, adequate
to the wants of the American people, is |
not only possible, but is the best and only |
safe and successful monetary system that
can be adopted.
D. Banks of issue cannot without great
commercial detriment be done away with.
q. Our present National Banking system
ought not to be abolished.
Z. That it would be a violation of good
faith on the part of our government, and
gross injustice to the holders of its war
bonds, to pay these bonds or interest on
them, in anything but gold, or a paper cur
rency convertible at the option Of It's hold
ers into gold.

All HONEY FLAT MONEY.

Mr.. Phillips is correct in his position
that all money Is fat money, but he is mis-
taken about the motto on the nickel being
"a piece OF executive b!asphemy." Sirce
"the little fraud" contains only fourteen
cents worth Of metal TO the dollar, its trust

else could il trust in On such basis?

A yellow Fever Incident.


There was touching little scene on one
Of our streets yesterday. A kind hearted
lady was going to see a sick friend when
-he heard her name called. Turning she
saw a slender girl, dressed in mourning,
advancing toward her. As the child came
nearer the lady recognized in her the
naughter of q neighbor who had died the
day before near the city. The little girl
threw her arms about the lady, and sob
bing, cried:
You aren't afraid of me, are you?"
"No, nv dear" was the soothing reply.
Everybody else is," said the poor child.
"rhey won't come near me, because papa
died Of the fever and We were with him, !
and mamma"
The little girl's heart was stung by the
chilling repulsion which came to her in so
deep a sorrow.

ELECTRICITY FOR STHEET
EsTlgss

Pref. Edison thinks he has discovered a
very simple process of dividing the electric
light Into ten thousand Jets, each enc Of
which can be made of an anilluminatlng power
equal to that of an ordinary gas-burner
He says the process is so simple that savans
wAlibe astonished to find how often they
: have stumbled over it in their theories and
experiments, and yet missed it. As soon as
sEdison secures patent he proposes TO give
public exhibition in New York, and he
hopes to demonstrate the practicsbility of
lighting scity by electricity at about one-
tenth the cost Of the gas now in use.

for members Of the Lower House Of Congress
was made on the basis OF a population of

When tha, apportionment was made
Kansas contained population of 36i, 500

The Effect ofAdveraising.

Yesterday Mr.. Theodore Francis of the
firm of William M. Francis q Son, gro
GERS, corner of Fourth aud Lombard
streets, left an advertisement of their
price list of goods at the GAZETTE
which was 10 have appeared for the first
time to-day, but by some mistake il ap-
peared yesterday. To show the effects
OF advel tising, it is only necessary to re-
cord the following conversation between
a member of the firm and a representative
of this paper;
"How come you to put our advertise
ment in thu paper to-day''
sit appeared by mistake"
swell, we did not wish it to appear to-
day your paper had not been issued
over halt an hour before there were three
ladies here after some of the goods which
we advertised, aud unfortunately we did
not have them up from the wharf"
Merchants should make a note of this,
and if they wish to dispose of their goods
they should advertise in the DAILY GA
zETTE as it is beyond doubt the best
medium whereby to reach those who buy
in the city.
