KANSAS MATTERS.

A mother and her daughter were sen.
fenced to the penitentiary for seven
years each for perjury, in Miami county,
last week.
Chss. Kinnick, who murdered man
in Woodson county in 1875, was lately
arrested in Throckmorton county, Texas,
and is now on his way home for trial.
Mr.. Houghtiling, one of the pro.
prietors of the Douglas County mills, at
Lawrence, was caught in the machinery
of the mill and almost instantly killed
on Friday of last week.
Prof. Patrick, of the State University,
and Prof. Kedzie, Of the Agricultural
College, have each made assays of the
Woodson county silver quartz, and both
say there is nothing in it. We judge
that it is now perfectly safe to say
that the 20 -called mines are fraud.
The Miami Republican says that man
by the name of Kirby, living near Pao-
Ia, was run over by train of cars on
the NJ. R., F. S. & G.. Railroad, ON
Wednesday of last week, and had an
arm cut of, and was otherwise injured.
He was lying on the track in drunken
stupor at the time, and was not seen in
time to stop the train before it reached
him.

years at hard labor in the State peniten.

that he is a Republican. The charge
against him is that be put Republicans
in Offices to which Democrats were
elected. If this is penitentlary ofense,
then all the Democrats in the House at
Washington ought to be sent to that
place. They are engaged nearly every
day in putting Democrats into places to

Joseph Herald.
This is fair statement of facts. The
pretense that Gen. Anderson had COM
mitted any crime is a fraud and q lie.
He was arrested, tried and convicted
simply because he was . Republican.
The information against him was filed
by an Attorney General whose hands are
stained with the blood of loyal citizens

judge, who is a notorious defaulter !;
and he was convicted by q jury picked
and organized to convict without refer
ence to the evidence.
Conceding, however, that he did de-
clare Republicans elected to Office when
Democrats were really elected, wherein
does his offense differ from that perpe-
trated, in at least three instances, by
the Democratic Committee on Elections
and the Democratic members of the
present House. If General Anderson
ought to be sent to the penitentisry for
two years, every Democratic member of
the present House deserves . like fate
for putting Patterson, of Colorado, in .
place to which he never was elected.

what they accuse Anderson of doing

The silver bill WAS promptly passed
over the Presidents veto last Thursday,
and is now one of the laws Of the land.
We are glad of it, and believe that it will
prove a beneficial measure, but too m UGH
must not be expected. It will not put
money in the pocket of man who will
not work for it, or has nothing to sell.
We believe however, that it will at once
check the constant downward tendency
in prices that has been going on for the
last few years, aud gradually bring the
indgstries Of the country back to their
normal activity. There will be no sud-
den imitation of prosperity, bur steady,
healthy growth. That il all We have
ever expected of it. and is ell that its
