Reckless Waste.

The Clay Centre Dispateh says that a gentleman
who recently travelled through that County. took
some notes on valuable personal property he saw
standing out exposed to the weather, and going to
ruin as fast possible On two farms within two
miles of each other and five miles from Clay Centre.
he invoiced 75i worth of valuable farm machinery

reapers, mowers. drills, headers tanning mills, and
down to hoes. The Dispatch says:

instances the machine is absolutely ruined by expos

due. We have no patience with such stupidity, and
no sympathy for the victim when the constable gets
after him.
And the Dispatch might have added that the farm

complain the loudest that farming don't pay" and
who gup down the most readily the imitation theories

~ No wonder the Democrats have no faith

Of insincerity. When it predicts, week after
week, that the Democrats will elect the next
Governor of Kansas, and the next Congressman
from this District, every Democratic reader
knows that it believes no such thing, but is act
ing the blow-hard, or is trying to deceive its
Democratic readers. They all know that there
is no more hope for the Democracy carrying
Kansas or this Congressional District than there
is of the Republicans carrying Kentucky or Mis-

Give Us n Resi-.

The charge of drunkenness against public
men, as an electioncering argument, is getting
to be decidedly monotonous; and is made SO
promiscuously, and with such disregard for
truth, that it fails TO have wholesome effect,
when made justly: Temperance is virtue that
should be looked after, in the selection of pub
lie ofheersj but any attempt to make political
party temperance or religious organization,
will prove total failure. The charges Of drunk
enpess against Col. Phillips have been made 30
recklessly, that We are not sure but that they
have helped him. But in order to offset the
charge, some of his newspaper supporters are
making it just as reckiessly aginst his oppo-
nents. There is paper at Manhattan, called
the EHterprise, which is sometimes on the high
moral policy, sometimes on the reform, generally
on the sore-head, and always on the side oppos-
ed to the Nationalist. Because the Nationalist
charged Phillips with drunkenness, and express
ed a willingness to support Mr.. Leland, the En-
taprise makes this fling at Leland, of whom it
knows nothing, and which charge is untrue:
There are some newspapers who pretend to be very
strict temperance, and Violently abuse Congressman
Phillips because he is drinking man, yet these same
papers announce that they will eheerfully support
half the brains of PHILIPPE.
Prouty, Of the Junction City Union, having
given Judge Price complimentary notice, the
Smith County Pioneer, edited by one of the ubiq-
uitous jenkins family, abnses Prouty for sot,
and says of Price:

cling bad whskey second only one in the State
the author of the above paragraph. The people of
Kansas perfer man who is sober at least ouefourth
of his time, and such is not Nat. Price of Troy.
Even some who arc favorably disposed toward
Price, seem to have dread of the charges, as
witness the following:
The Chautauqua Netes says if Judge Nate Price has
doomed the blue it is for him for Attorney General
Judge Price is not man who advertises the
fact to the world when he turns over new leaf
but We think every one ought to have credit for
the good be does. Price has not put on the rib
bon, or any other sign to catch the public eye !;
but it Is only necessary to say that he is not
druken sot He does not drink intoxicating
liquors of anyokind, nor has he done so for
months. If these fellows are opposed to Price,
let them come out honestly, and not attack him
upon point on which he has exhibited more
manhood than they ever possessed.
And now comes an obscure paper in Southern
Kansas, charging that John A. Martin is sot.
Keep the ball a-rolling!

A GAME THAT WILL GIG BACK.-Last week,
the Anthony organs made the sensational an.
nouncement, and it was telegraphed over the
country, that the Governor had discovered that
some of the Trustees of the Public Institutions
had been misappropriatng public funds to their
own use, unauthorized by law. The Governor
made bombastic demand upon the Trustees for
restitution of the money, and requested the At
torney General to examine into the matter, and
If necessary, bring suit for the recovery of the
money. Thereupon the Attorney Gen eral issued
his ukase, and between him and the Governor,
they raised q first-class tempest in a teapot
Be it borne in mind, that this discovery of cor
ruption by the ineorruptible and vigilant Gov
ernor was made upon the eve of electing dele
gates to the State Convention.
That is one side of the question; but there is
another side. The accused Trustees publish a
under his own proboscis. They say that they
did what their predecessors had done that Gov.
Anthony knew all the facts year and half
ago; that they asked his advice upon that very
point, and he and the Auditor advised them to
do just what they did; and that their action
was investigated by the Legislature, and not
condemned. They say the Governor expressed
his determination to impress 4nthony so indelli-
bly, upon the institutions of the State, that it
could not be eradicated in fifty years; and they
very plainly intimate that this hullabaloo has
been raised because they would not do the bid
ding of Anthony. The people of Kansas will be-
lievs this side of the story. In fact, the Com
monmealtk does not hesitate to acknowledge that
Anthony has opened his batteries upon these
men because they saw fit to oppose his re-eloc-
tion.
This affair is but another characteristic dis
play of the disposition of the man who happens
to be Governor of the State. He would blast
the character of every man in the State, if nec-
essary to compass the ends of his ambition. His
reign will soon be over. Let him and his super
serviceable Attorney General be put together in
their little bed.

RrA leading Greenbacker, the other day, while
reading the Bulletin, suddenly stopped, and OBJ
served something like this: 81 see that Bridges
wants the Greenbaokers to adopt the Builetin as
their organ, and at the same time claims to be
Democratic organ, and advises Democrats not to
vote with the Greenbackers. His legs are too
short, and the weather too hot, to straddle two
horses at once. Perhaps if he would come out
openly, and be man or q mousse and not try to
blow for two or three parties at once, he could
get some party to recognise him and endorse
him." We thought that man spoke pretty good
doctrine. But he must excuse the Bulletin man.
This is one of his critical periods, and he is for
greenbacks, and doesn't care what party they
come from.
