WHAT NENTy

What course will the Democrats in Con-
gress now pursue? VIII they adopt the
policy outlined by some of their leaders,
and adjourn without making provision for
carrying on the Government, or will they
have sense enough to pass the appropria-
ton bills, without the political riders, thus
leaving upon the President the response
bility Of retaining upon the statute books
the laws which they regard as obnoxious,
or will they exhibit the same genius for
laundering which has characterized the con-
duct Of the Democratic party for the last
fifteen years? If they would vote the neces-
sary appropriations for carrying on
the government, if only for six months
till the next regular session has
time to consider the question,
they would then have some
thing upon which to go before their con-
stitutents. They would then be able 10
say to the people: ave have done our
duty SO far as voting supplies is concerned,
though we have failed in our political pro-
ject; We have done everything that could
be done, without imperilling the govern
ment, to secure the repeal Of the obnoxious
election laws, and jury laws, but having
been defeated in our purpose, We nc" APP
peal to the people" That's the course
that would be pursued by any body Of
men governed by common sense, but to
presume that the Democratic msiority in
congress is governed by such principles, il
TO presume a condition of affairs totally at
variance with the experience of the last
fifteen years. Hence, the probabilities are
that congress will go on pass
ing the bills in their present
shape and having them vetoed, till the MEM
bers exhaust their term of Office, and are
in turn vetoed by the people. To pass the
appropriation bills without the riders, and
then 60 before the people and make fight
upon the political principles involved,
Would evince considerable degree of poll
teal sagacity. And that's the reason why
We cannot believe that the Democratic ma
iority will pursue such a course.

WHAT WILL THEY DOg

In an article upon the course that the
Democrats in Congress will probably per-
sue, in view of the Presidents veto, the
Chicago Tribune of the 2sth says:
If they abandon the project for starving
out the Government. it will be because they
cannot hold their msjority together TO this
end, and they will probably resort TO the
expedient Of extending the appropriations
for six months in order TO hold the threst
of starving out in sbeyanc when they meet
in regular session. The country will re-
joice even at this partial relief, or indeed
ct any other outcome which shall lead to
an adjournment Of Congress without leay-
ing the Government in an embarrassed con-
dition. What the people want is an sssur-
ance that there shall be no tinkering OF the
currency laws for some time TO come, and
such an assurance can only be conveyed by
an adjournment of Congress till next De-
cember. If there is a spark of wisdom left
among the Democrats they will lose no
time in giving this assurance by speedy adj
iournment so soon as they shall be satisfied
that they cannot carry out their political
project, for they have already tried the pa
thence of the country to the limit OF Tor
bearance

THE pvEStDENTs VETO MES
SAGE.


The message of President Hayes, return
ing to the House of Representatives the
Army Bill, was sent to the House yester-
day, and is published in full in our col
umne this morning. The objections, OF
course, are confined to the political 'rider, !"
which repeats the statute providing for the
use of troops ct the polls. The President
reviews at considerable length the act
sought to be repealed, and points out
the circumstances under which il
wa, passed. He shows that such
use of troops as is contemplated in
the act cannot result in interference with
fair elections, and has frequently been found
necessary to insure to the citizen the fol
exercise Of his right of suffrage.
The Presidents objections are stated
clearly and forcibly. The document is &
strong state paper, and its expressions arr
In full sympathy with the sentiments Of thu
Republican party. 1t will receiy,
the enthusiastic and unanimous endorse
ment of the Republicans of the West, anC
of all other sections Of the country. 1t il
just such an expression of determined
opposition to the revolutionary schemes o
the Democracy as the country has beel
hoping for. 1t Is able, determined anc
patriotic, and will be read with pleasur,
by every earnest Republican in tn,
United States.

About TaNin. Peddiers

E1IroR TINES Il would like for you to
call the sttention of our Honorable Mayor
and City Council to matter which, while
ii is not Very imporIsnt one to some, Is
very important one to Others, which is in
substance this: Allowing peddlers to follow
their business in the city without license
Men who pay taxes on their property and
help to support q city's government and
redeem her bonds, are compelled to compete
with class of shysters who get their goods
we know not where, and travel from house
to house guaranteeing satisfaction or money
refunded, paying no city taxes, no license to
anyone, and purchasers having no response
bic guarantee that the goods are Whist they
are represented to be. While believing in
free and unprejudiced competition for the
benefit of trade generally, and inviting all
honorable competition, our merchants do
not feel az if our city government was
giving Us justice in allowing men to sell
tea, coffee, yeast powders, thread, buttons
and such other things as they NAV see fit to
carry around with them from house to
house, without first paying into the city
treasury . sum of money such as our city
council shall designate rs . license 90 to do.
To chow our citizens how this stands, Just
suppose that merchant here gains in one
year 5000, and banks or adds to his
stock, - the case may be. Next yesr he

Protecting the hanks of the Missouri.
GAtchifon champion, 27.I

iAtchlol ihahplOn, q.
The Leavenworth Tunes GAYS that the
Work done at that point by the Government
engineers, for the protection of the river
bank, is of no practical use, and will not
prevent the continued washing and falling
in of tie Missouri's shores. The work
done at Atchison is precisely of the same
character az that done at Leavenworth, and
if the Tunes statements are true, they are
of Interest here as well as st Leavenworth.
The editor of that pspeI has examined the
work done there. He says:
"What there is left of the already rotten
mattresses is only held in position by the
wire used in their construction. The
amount of stone used in weighing them
down must have been very small, or else il
has disappeared in the deep and rapid cur
rent along the bank. The brush used in
the construction Of the mattresses, seems
to have been fret sud second growth cot
tcnwood, and as the brush is alternately
covered with water aud expose 70 the dry.
hot sun, the work rots out rapidly.
We hope that scientific, experienced Mis-
souri river men will be employed to exam
inc the work, and make report before
more money is expended under The present
management"
We have not examined the work done on
the Missouri side opposite this city, but
learn from those who have inspected it that
the mattresses are sill in place, and thst
they have, thus far, prevented further wash
ing or cutting Of tie river banks. 1t would
be we'll to make a Close examina alton, and
ascertain whether the brush mattresses are
rottiug. Ii they are, they will soon fail to
serve any useful purpose.
We do not pretend to know what ought
TO be done to efectually protect the Mis-
sou.i's banks. But it has seemed to us, sll
along, that so fer as the work at this point
Is concerned, it should have included
series of wing-wslls, extended into tie
stream four or five miles above Aichisop,
and 50 arranged as 10 throw the current
away from the Missouri side and force it to
strike the rocky shore on the Kansas side,
Just above this city. Wehave been assured
by competent men, that this could be done,
but the expense would probably exceed the
amount appropriated for work at this
point.
The government engineers, however,
ought to know what they are about, and
We do not presume to say that they are
wrong in what they have done. Captain

ReeS and Fruit.


Every season we have letters asking how
bees can be prevented from ipju-ing grapes,
peaches and other fruit. There ia no
evidence that honey-bses do injure these
fruits. The mouth parts of the be are not
strong enough to penetrate heir tough
skins. The most careful observations Of
such men as Langstroth, Quinby, Root and
others, have not found the honev-bee to be
the sggressor. Put when the skin OF the
fruit is once pierced by wasPs, hornets, or
birds, then the honey.bse comes for a
share of the juices thus exposed; and while
it is often the receiver, il ia never the rea!
thief-or rather burglar. This il matter
Of great Importance TO fruit growers; but
before they complain of the be keepers, let
them examine the matter and see how far
their loses are due 10 the honey-bee. and
how far 10 their wild relatives, the various
wasps and hornets.

stock Raising in Kansas.

Corn in Kansas is cheap and most abund-
ant, fact which has been greatly in favor
of the feeder of stock in that State, ensbliDg
him TO successfully compete with rival feed
ers in states nearer 10 the great centers
where cattle are consumed. 1t Is this which
las made profitable the feeding Of Texas
cattle, and which will tend to perpetuaie
the custom of driving young cattle from
Texas and even encourage the growth of
that business. With range and water un-
surpassed; with corn cheap and plenty and
with young STOCK available at reasonable
prices, there certainly seems to be good
reason for believing that in the feeding OF
cattle the Kansas farmer will find a very
satisfactory business.

1t is OF the utmost importance that the
seed we plant be of such a character thst it
will grow. In most seasons there is no diff

most important crop of all, frequently re
fuses to terminate. 1t is, therefore, better
to pay good price for reliable seed that Is
certain to grow, than TO take any chances
of losing the first planting. We call stten-
