From the Leavenworth Zines.
From Democratic Standpoint.

The following highly complimentary
notice of our senior Senator we clip
from the Austin (Texas) Statesman,
and when you remember that it comes
from a Southern State and from an
opposition paper you must conclude
that it is about as fine comp liment
as Republican Senator ever receives:
MR.. INGALLS,, OF KANSAS.
"Surey there is VEN for silver and place
Tor gold where they find it.--,Io5 rs, l.
"From this text Mr.. ingalls, deliv-
cred the following financial sermon
in the Senate as remark able for its
good sense and logical acumen as for
its conciseness of expression and anti
thetical force. His speech is most re-
markable, not more for its good taste
and elegant diction than for its COM
prehensive statement Of facts and
freshness and originality. 1t is wholly
unlike most studied addresses that
have been delivered in the Senate, and
however much we may differ from Mr..
Ingalls, on questions which recently
gave distinctiveness to parties and
States, we must concede his distin-
guished ability and accuracy of think
ing"
During the five years that Mr.. In
gals has been in the Senate he has
gained a-reputation such as but few
men ever achieved in the same length
of time. His name has become almost
as familiar to the country at large
as to his own State, and he is recog-
nized everywhere as one of the ablest
4 A I. r III L
and one of the brightest minds in the
Senate. 1t is gratifying to the people
of Kansas-not only to Republicans
but to all other parties as well-to be
able to feel that a member from this
State is recognized by the country at
large as one of the leaders of thought
in the United States Senate. This is
no small compliment to Kansas.

Grant in 1880.


I. ID. Thachcr, one of the soundesi
and strongest political writers of The
West, in abiding to the EAGLES re.
marks of last week touching the prob
able candidacy of General Grant, says
in his paper, the Daily Journal, after
copying the EAGLES remarks in full
We do not suppose there is regu.
larly organized movement on foot to
make General Grant the next nominee
of the Republican party. but it is re-
markabie TO what extent the senti-
ment uttered by the EAGLE prevails.
1t is one of the phenomena of the
times. 1t is very certain that General
Grant is vastly more popular than
when he vacated the presidential Office
The popular judgment upon his ad-
minisirations, as they are viewed from
more distant standpoints, becomes
more and more favorable. The feel
ing that, instead of being dangerous
man, as his enemies used to represent
him, lie is pre-eminently q safe man
tor the country, is very widespread.
We can easily conceive circumstances
which would make him the choice of
the vast body of conservative order
loving and liberty-loving citizens with
out respect to party.

Attempt to Assassinats King Bill.

Last Saturday, in Berlin, as Emperor
William was returning from drive
with the Grand Duchess of Baden,
several shots from revolver were
fred at them in avenue Anter Den
Linden. Nobody was hurt. The per-
son who fired the shots was arrested.
An accomplice, who attempted to res
cue the would-be assassin was also
arrested. The city is greatly excited
in consequence of the attempt upon
the life Of the Emperor. Great crowds
assembled at the front OF the palace,
to whom the Emperor presented
himself several times in acknowl-
edgment of their expression of
sympathy. Members Of the Ministry,
foreign ambassadors and officers of

State Temperance Convention.

Al the earnest solicitation of the
friends of the Murphy movement"
and other temperance organizations in
various localities in the State, it has
been thought advisable to call con-
vention to discuss the present aspect
OF the work, and the best methods for
Its successful prosecution. We believe
there has never existed i'll our State
such ell all-pervading interest on this
subject as at the present time. The
evils of intemperance confront and
startle US on every side. Multitudes
are asking "What shall we do 2" what
can we do to check this terrible CURSOR
We must do something. Tho respon-
sibility is upon us; we cannot remain
inactive aud be guiltlesS. Let Us come
together, canvas the work and join
heart and hand in united, organized
and persistent efforts to overthrow
this enemy of our race. We therefore
invite all Temperance Unions and
all other temperance organizations to
send delegates to a meeting TO be held
in Olathe, commencing on Tuesday,
May "a, at O'Clock.
Where no organization exists, we
suggest that the friends get together
and appoint such as can attend 10 rep
resent them in convention. And where
this cannot be done let anyone who
desires to aid in the work, and come
of his Gown sweet WILL" and he shall
be welcomed.
The citizens of Olathe extend cor
dial invitation to the friends of tenn
perance to meet with them. Efforts
will be made TO secure excursion rates

Tbs Kansas Delegation.

While orr neighboring State, Mis-.
souri,, is not satisfied with their Con-
grcssional delegation, how proud we
kansans are of ours. Every one OF
our members have been heard from,
and in most favorable echoes. Each
one has been photographed to the
country and to the world by the me-
tropolitan newspaper pres. Phillips
has national reputation Haskell is
already high up the ladder Ryan is
following close behind. They should
all be returned next fall. In the Senate
our youngest member, Plumb, is a
dashing worker, always where lie
ought to be, and doing just the proper
thing, and he is in his second year
only. Senator Ingalls,, having had
longer service and more experience,
deservedly stands in the foremost rank
He is the peer OF the strongest men in
the Senate. His ability is universally
recognized His excellent scholastic
attachments with his quick perception
and his aptitude for public business
have greatly aided him in rising to his
present enviable position. He is an
honor to Kansas and to the Senate.
Our next Legislature ought not to re-
quire more than one hour in re electing
him. Cofeyrille journal.

The following explains itself Even
the quasi-endorsement of man living
in New York shows that the world is

OswEGo, May 6, 1873.
". C. Woodman, Wichita, Kansas:
DEAR SIR beg leave to thank you
for the Wichita EAGLE Of April GOTH
containing your financial scheme. Ii
affords me much pleasure to say that
have derived much interesting and val,
liable information from the reading OF
this paper, and | trust it will be the
opening Of ideas that will yet be valu-
able to the Nation.
l have certain opinions and ideas OF
my own in regard to details which are
perhaps too crude to attempt TO ex-
plain, and it need not surprise you
when | say scarcely agree with you
in all the details, but the principles
you aim atone uniform security and
long one, all that | certainly believe
is the true principle. Yours truly,

Tho Ccmmonweslth's Ineligibility and Anus
ing Sequences.

We were immensely tickled the 9TH
or day over the Topeka Common
scedlth's attempted explanation of how
long man must live in Kansas before
he became ineligible TO seat in the
Legislature. From the piece in ques-
ton we gathered that it is considered
in political circles right down idiocy
for any man who has lived over twelve
months in Kansas 10 offer for the Leg
islature. The immigrant who arrives
too late in the spring to get in sod
crop has "walk-away" for any Office
in the gift of the people. AS an Illus
tration of this Kansas trait we must
mention fact that occurred this week.
emitting names of course. We re-
ceived well-w ritten and Intelligent
letter from a man living i'll no very
distant State inquiring after ms broth
er whom he said had started for w icii-
tia several months since, but whom he
had never heard of since. We were
made inexpressibly happy in being
able to relieve his commendable anxi-
etv and 10 truthfully answer that the
slost brother" had duly arrived in
Wichita which be shortly left for new
county, from whence he was elected
State Senator few months later-a
position that he now holds, and that
unless ne was barred out by too long
q residence, his beloved and toughest
brother would be elected to the second
highest Office in the State, place to
which he was row aspiring and for
which his name has been frequently
and honerably mentioned in the past
three weeks. Now, this is solemn
fact.
Apropos of this same spirit: The
assurance of the average new editor
who arrives IN Kansas is perfectly as
founding, or would be to anybody but
well-yersed resident of this very free
country. a man arrives, unexpected
ly and unannounced, at some point III
the State, buys out, or purchases ION

time TO become a voter himself, sue
cessfally cleans out and hopelessly lays
on the shelf officials and men who
have been honored and respected by
his neighbors from time immemorial'
Come to think of it, the Common
wealth might find an instance of the
latter kind of freak very near home.
Tom Ryan, our present Congressman
home is in Topeka, where he has lived
many years He is known to every
man woman and child in the town, re-
spected by all and loved by many, the
unanimous choice Of that people for
his present position, his nomination
and election being hailed and celebrat-
ed by all kinds of wild demonstra-
tions, has been working like beaver
for two years, made no mistakes. and
boasts successes beyond the average
new member, yet this spring there
comes a new man from another State,
buvs ont the Bldde-nine-tenths OF
whose readers are presumably friends
Of Tom's-and forthwith opens up a
system of adverse criticism of man
whom he has probably never seen and
whose defeat would not only deprive
Topeka Of g representative in Con-
gress, but as far as Topeka and her
friends are concerned, benefit no one
unless it would be the new conner, and
not him in the absence of some con-
sumaied job, or understanding with
some proposed candidate, or some
party with personal grievance.

AN ADDRESS
To the Sunday School Workers Of Kansas.

~ tEe Ouuudy CCuVVl W VsAcIs VI ha1ea5.
The spring of 1878 comes to us with
greatly increased responsibilities. a
large immigration of eastern people
are finding homes among us; they are
looking tor christian influences and
religious opportunities. An increased
activity is called for on our part. Eve
ry great movement must be thorough
" organized to attain the best success
Ii your county is not organized at
once form a Union County Sunday
School Association, elect your most
busy, systematic, earnest christian
men as officers. business men often
make great captains.) Organize every
township by electing in each live
Sunday school man as township Vice
President OF the County Association.
Plan and hold series of conventions
throughout your county. Hold them
SO near together that every neighbour
hood will feel their influence. Do
this at once and plant Sunday schools
at once in every place that would be
likely to sustain one at least so often
that all your citizens can attend then
see that they are sustained. Every
school house OH your broad prairies
should on each succeeding Sabbath
open wide its doors for bible study
and christian labors. Make your work
everywhere power for Christ. Let
us light the watch fires of religious
zeal in the valley and on the hill top
from east to west in all our State. Re-
member that our next State Couven-
ton meets at Topeka, October II, is.
10, and that superior railroad accom-
modations and rates will be obtained
for delegates. We shall have there
our new State Sunday school map, 5x10
feet, on which every Sunday school
will be located exactly and marked by
a colored wafer, showing its denomin-
alton on the international plan. This
map will aid in representing our State
at the Atlanta international Conved-
ton during the present month. Come
up to Topeka at our autumn meeting
bringing an account Of your shaaves
with you. Our work is worthy of all
etfort-it is peculiarly suited to all.
1t is accomplishing great results. The
Sunday school is mighty power III
the land. Shall it not by our united
efforts in our State be made more ag-
gressive than ever? Shall we not hon
or it with our greatest energies, our
gifts of money, talent and labor, until
the name of our Master shall be cher
ished in every community, and our
beautiful Sunday school songs gladden.

For the EAGLE.
The Greenback Party.


ED. EAGLE In the township south
of Rockford, in Sumner county, the
farmers have a Greenback Club. /
have received an invitation to come
down and present my views to the
club. | prefer to give my views
on that subject through the EAGLE.
The object of these clubs is to form a
new party and to circulate greenback
documents.
To the former of these propositions
| am opposed. l am opposed to the
formation of party composed of Ia
boring men exclusively, because expe-
rience hath taught me that they will
not unite on political questions, how
ever important such questions may be
in the promotion of their prosperity
Of happiness. Let ME ask any green
back farmer or laboring man, (and
that will include about all of any or
binary intelligence) Do you believe
a great party can be organized on a
single idea? Suppose we form green
back party, what are we going to do
about the payment of the rebel war
claims; the tariff; the bible in the
public schools, end God in the consti-
tuition. These are questions that
would not interfere in the least with
a party OF gold bugs, Protestant, Cath
ole, jew or Gentle, though they
might be, the interest of the almighty
dollar would cause them to unite as q
baud of brothers. Any one who
thinks the greenback men would do
the same thing, has only to study the
campaign in Ohio between Hayes and
Old Bill Alien. | believe that a large
majority of the people of this State
are in favor of the greenback, and the
formation of greenback party with
hopes of success, presupposes the same
thing The people at the present
time are divided into two great polit-
ical parties, and the majority of the
whole being in favor of greenbacks
that majority ought to be able to con-
troll one if not both of the present par
ties. Now think of that, "a house d.
vided against itself cannot stand"
The Republican party to-day is divid-
ed on the question of the currency.
But 1 do not propose to unite the
house by having the greenback men
move out. propose, if there is any
moving to be done, to let the gold bugs
move out. There arn't so many of
them and won't make such ''big
mov'n."
Greenback brethren, stick to your
respective parties, and this fall attend
the local conventions of your party
and we can bring the Democratic and
Republican parties both into the green
back camp. No need to trouble about
the politicians, they will hunt up their
old speeches aud prove they have been
in favor Of greenbacks sever since
Watch was a pup"
Yours fraternally,
FARMER DooLITTLE.
