for position III the great national struggle year.
Disguise it the politicians may, tins is the fact.
and this is the real matter ut issue. There to be
the democratic party. The next campaign will wit
the entire dissolution OF the greenback party.
In fact, ii has only issue lett now and that is
opposition to the national banks 1t has abandoned
the fiat money heresy aud opposition to resumption,
and this three-legged stool has now only one leg

party born. nursed, educated and trained q
hard money party.
"Do you think this financial question will be the
chief issue in the contest next yearY
''Oh, no; the principal issue next year will be
State sovereignty, which they regard as different
from State rghts-rixhts which they claim can be
,lnterfered with"
e What do you think the probable result of the
September election will be!''
"It is early in the campaign to answer this ques-
ton with any approximation to correctness Ii the
democrats and green should fuse sodly they
would have 10000, l., ,0U0 or 1900 majority the

COLONIZATION IN KANSAS.

LECTURE BY FATHER swrMBERGH ON THE
GREAT WHEAT GROWING sTATE--HoMKs FOR
EASTERN woRKINGMEN
Father Felix p. swimbergh. of Newton. Kan,
president of st. Domnic's and st. Brandon's colo
MES. entertained large audience last night at the
church Of st. Vincent Ferrcr by speaking on the
subject of COLONIZATION in Kansas" The reverend
gentleman. in opening. said that he was much
pleased to find himself among the people OF
the parish of st. Vincent Ferrer. where two
years ago the st. Dominic Colonization Society orig-
mated. He told how committee IRON the parish
two years ago went West to prospect. and finally
located the site of the present thriving colony in
Rice and Reno counties. Kansas. In his position OF
champion of colonization generally he had been
sent to the great Chicago Convention a few months
since to help perfect plan by means o. which the
poor of the East were to be helped to the
land of the West. Out OF that Convention grew
the scheme OF which Bishop ireland Is the head.
For many years. he said. and particularly since the
great labor convulson the East the great need of
an exodus to the West had been felt As he turned
to the great cities OF the East he hear the wall of
the laborer bankrupts cried out for quarter; the
crash OF banks resounded every where; the doom
OF business was plainly to be seen, aud ali hands
dustry. BY the glare of nres lit by Com
munists and strikers might in imagina-
uon behold the mob digging grave tor
the expected corpse OF society. Over such condi-
ton as this the nation mourns. legislatures meet,
Congress convenes. gold anu silver platforms are
erected aud the grcenDack banner is unfurled all
to no purpose. No real remedy tor 1t ali has yet
been propOunded by the statesman or the pu Dlcnp. .
More eiectual and to the purpose the reverend yen.
teman regarded the present movement to induce an
exodus of workingmen to the bountitu lands OF the
West III
After these generaizatfons Father swirnberph ad-
dressed himself to the SPECIAL advantages or the
State OF Kansas as home tor the poor inrii. The
man who la the East goes home after hard day Il
work to his family ana Bevcher diet of bread and
water can in tnat state lead diguifcd and nde-
pendent existence il he bo sober and industrious.
He quoted the words OF the apostle. Let every
abide in the vocation to which he has
been called" for the consideration of men
from abroad who had been breI farms and
had forsaken them for life in great cities.
The soil Kansas, he safd could support any crop
grown in the temperate aud coulu PROVIDE
able homes the Italian and the scandinavian. lie
spoke in euogisic terms of the great wheat belt OF
the state, 1.-THE most proiihc section of hand in the
world" The value OF the wheat crop of Kansas IN
1873 was S4yyl4I34 49, increase OF 5,31O473 bus-
els over the procudiQ year. ~
A meeting or the Colonization Society will be held
at Brevoort Hall on Thursday evening next, aud on

THE INCOME TAX, THE HERALD
AND MR. EWING. - =. &

From the New York Sun. July 27.l ,1
The constitution of the United States provides
that 'No captaton other direct tax shall De laiu
unless in proportion to the census or enumeration
herein before directed to be taken m'-
An income tax is direct tax
The late income tax was not laid in proportion to
the census; and being direct tax and not so laid,
it was unconstitutional.
The income tax is odious. The history Of its i'm
position everywhere has proved this esi.4.
1t is inqusitoral for it inquiries into all aman 8
private business transactions.
So when the Sun spoke of the income tax odious.
inquisitorial and unconstitutional the Sun properly
There is one public journal which defends the
bold invasion of the constitution which was effected
by the ena tment of the income tax. and advocates
its re-enactment.
1t is the same journal which compared the con-
sttution of the Southern Confederacy with the con-
stituton the United States, aud drew conclusions
favorable to the constitution Of the Southern Con
federacy.
There is one candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for President who openly advocates the re-
enactment Of inquisitorial, odious, unconstitu-
tional income tax
The name OF that candidate is Ewing of Ohio
We regard it as a conclusive objection to him Q
candidate tor President.
The same man is now running as candidate for
Governor of Ohio. The HERALD justly says Of him r.:
He is OF brains. energy and character trained in
the law and in the school OF practical politics. and
ed Of battle His splendid sh, a.
with Union soldiers he faced old Price with 500
Confederates disputed inch OF ground
bern dogged retreat of three days would be point in
is comparatively them have this
sort Of treasure.
General Ewing's talents. courage, Unionism and
culture all recommend him highly rs a democratic
candidate for Governor OF Ohio and would recon.
mend him also o candidate for President but Tor
his unsound views finance and on the income tax.
AS Governor Ohio it will make little no differ
ence what he thinks about income As Presi-
dent of the United States his views that question
might become of the gravest importance.

GENERAL BUTLER'S CAMPAIGN.

[From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. July 26 ]
The Butler campaign this year will be without an
issue. except him elf. With people given to per-
sonal devotion and delirums over favorite sons
such campaign might promise something, but
with the people OF Massachusetts,. accustomed to
move in politics for definite purposes, conscious
when those purposes have been attained and not
disposed to go back from their faithful instrument
in etfecting them issue of personal ambition
alone will not afford the basis for such political
revolution General Buffers election the Cover
norship. His nnancial issue has dropped out OF
and reform has been answered at the State House;
reviving business and the readjustment of every
body to hardpan has quenched the hunger for "a
change and there remains nothing but to vindicate
General Butler-an enterprise in which we do not
believe majority OF the voters of the Common
wealth will embark in this year OF our Lord.
