final conclusion, they convince them

moved alone by patriotic interest Ii
the prosperity of the people, and not
by a desire to hold office, and to get

forward 1t may be upon its face, have
asserted that the resignation of Hon.
John Kelly was brought about by un-

advised differently. The truth of the
whole matter is that Mr.. Kelly acted
solely upon his own Judgment, and
what he conceived to be for the best in
terests of his constituency, in view of
his candidacy for The higher position.
In his own language, he thought it
due his party and friends. Besides,
we suppose, be didn't desire to be
trammeled in the least in his canvass
for Lieutenant G oyernor. Any one
doubling this assertion has but to ask
Mr.. Kelly. AS to his candidacy we
have no doubt but that the whole
will be solid for him.

The New National Party.

The new national party, which fol
some months has been promising the
political millennium, and every man
in America his pocket full of green
backs, in convention at Syracuse, New
York, the other day, got up grand
old row. The Brick Pomeroy wing,
the Butler wing, and the Shupe wing
were not harmonious. Old party con-
tentions, in vituperation and unseem-
ly extremes, were eclipsed. The edit
or of the Greenback Adrocnte seced-
cd and got up a convention of his own.
Shupe is a sharp fellow, but he must
lack moral balance. The day he start
ed for the convention he was bounced
for a small debt. In making points
for himself he outrageously garbled
the official statements of the United
States Treasurer. His paper is won-
der in its way, and the cheapest pub
location on the continent. Bnt in our
judgment Mr.. Shupe is fraud, and
his paper will go up a spout, leaving
his subscribers in the lurch. 1t is said
he squandered all his wife's property
years ago, and is now trying to mako
q raise.

For the Eagle.
Too Thin.

One of the arguments presented to
the people of this district by the wise
) acres who are supporting Peters is
that the State will be re-apportioned
for Congress before the next Con-
gressional election after this fall, and
therefore we should elect some man
who is likely to be in this district the
next time; that Topeka will not be in
this district the next election, and
that, therefore, we cannot afford to
educate Ryan for the benefit of another
district. Drawing largely on their
imagination, they give themselves an
intellectual and political airing before
the gazing multitude by assuring them
that this great commonwealth will
have six Congressman the next time,
and that Topeka and Ryan will be in
district away off in the distance.
Referring to the last proposition
first, we confess that there is d re-
markable future for Kansas that its
growth has been and is destined to be
almost miracle but even Baron
Munchausen could scarcely anticipate
six Congressman at the next appor-
tionment. At each apportionment the
population necessary for q Congress
man iG increased. 1t jumped from the
previous one TO the last one in
the ratio of 10000 to 10000. |
1t IS safe to calculate that the next |
will require at least 10000, but it is
not quite so safe to conclude that |
Kansas will then have a population of |
100000.
Even admitting all this. however,
the joke comes in on the other propo-
sition. We are not going to get rid of
Topeka and Ryan quite SO soon.
After this fall the next Member Of
Congress will be elected in 1880. IN
der our amended Constitution the
next Legislature after that of the COM
ing will not be held till January 1881.
That will be the proper body TO redis-
trict the State. But supposing that
of the coming winter makes guess
and arrogates to itself that preroga-
tive, what then? The United States
census will not be taken until 1880.
The Congress that will apportion on
that census will meet the following
winter, and the apportionment will be
made a considerable time after the fall
election in $780, The elections under
the new apportionment will not be
held until in November 1882, and until
that time principal portion of the
Kansas and the Arkansas valleys must
sleep in the same Congressional bed, {
nolens rolens. With this condition of
affairs what becomes Of the nice little
story drawn from the vivid and elastic
imaginations Of the anti-Ryan conspi- i
rators? But it is in keeping with
many other bats they have thrown
out to catch gudgeons with. Try
else, gentlemen. You might
with some shadow of truth, and prob
ably with more satisfaction to your :
assure them that there is a I
likelihood of change in one or two Y
other districts of much smaller dimen- !
sions, even before the election in 1880,
but your story about the Congress- o
sioual district is too transparent. 1t o
won't wash and keep its color. -"

Mr.. Thurman's Opinion of Sumner.

Though it is pleasant to see Senator
Thurman admit that he thinks about
as poorly of some of the Democratic
witnesses before the Potter Commit.
tee as he does of tho Republicans,
what he has to say about politics is of
less interest than his estimate of Mr..
Sumner. There will be many to pro-
test against his judgment that the
great Massachusetts Senator was an
overrated man, but the criticism is
made in kindly spirit, nevertheless,
and is that of an unusually acute OBJ
server.-N. Y. Tribune.
