County Names.

Speaking of county names reminds
Us of another graceful and just thing
that the public and the present Legisla-
ture might with great propriety do.
One of the counties of Kansas bears the
name of one of our great Free Stat,
leaders, Lane. Another ought to bear
the name of an earlier and quite "a
earnest, efficient and capable leader OF
the Free State men, the first Governor
of the State of Kansas, Charles Robin
son. These two men, Lane and Robin
son. were for years the leaders of the
Free State men of Kansas, and if a
Kansas county bears the name of one
of them. another Kansas county ought
to bear that CT the GENERALIZATION
Champion.
The Champion is right. Gov. Robin
son was the earlier Free State leader.
and that too al time when more de-
pended upon prudent and courageous
leadership. Ii is not too much To say
that from the first settlement of the
Territory in 1854 down TO the summer
of 1857. Gov. Robnson's voice was sn-
preIne in the counsels of the rec State
party. With the immense immigration
of 1857. the question of making Kansas
a Free State became virtually settled by
the mere force oe numbers. But before
that time the scales hung delieaiei,
poised, and in iividual effort was sufli-
Gent to turn them either way. Ii was
during those dark DAYS that Gov. Rob-
;nscn displayed aplendid qualities and
did work for the cause OF freedom
that cannot be too highly commended or
too well Observation-Disclosures J0gs'-

Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, who has
been chairman Of the committee ON PEN
sions for the past four years, asserts that
there have been perpetrated many
frauds upon the Government, and that
rs much as ten per cent. Of all pensions
paid are received by persons not enti-
tied to them. To cure this evil he in
troduced bill, few days since, which
provided for seventy-six commissioners
or examining boards. The Inter- Ocean
SAYS of the discussion of the bill:
The Senate has spent the entire day in
talk, just as if they had three weeks be-
fore them, instead Of three days. Near
ly all the talking has been done by Dem
Ocrats, and was mostly against Senator
Ingalls, admirable plan for revision Of
the pension lists, with view of elimin-
ating the names Of those who are not
entitled to pensions. The opposition to
il was sudden and unexpected, and was
caused by circular which was sent to
Democratic Senators exclusively, declar-
ing that Ingalls, plan was merely a
scheme to compel all pensioners of the
United States TO vote the Republican
ticket by striking their names off the
rolls if they did not. ingalls, read the
document to the Senate, and charged its
authorship upon certain claim agents
who made a business Of getting through
fraudulent claims. Senator Chandler
advocated ingalls, plan as one which he
recommended when Secretary of the
Interior. He said that in his opinion it,
adoption would save the government a
million dollars a year.

Another death has occurred which

protestations and wiley sophistry of the
the Democratic organ that the deter
mination of the Republicans Of the city
to no longer play second fiddle to a M
nority, is viewed with alarm. Why not
let matters rest-let things run in the
old rut? The EAGLE plainly told why
two weeks ago, rs it has nearly every
year for the past seven. The reasons
are too numerous to mention and too
sound to admit of q cavil.
That the Republicans of the city are
at last awake to the facts will be seen by
the reports of meetings published else
where. The enthusiasm is such as is
only bcgotten of prospect Of sure
victory and it makes little differences
what the Democracy may say or do.
The preliminary meetings have all
been held and the party in the city well
organized, in the utmost harmony.
On Monday, the 18th, if the conven-
ton chosen on the 18th shall nominate
none but solid taxpayers, good honest
men and square Republicans, the ticket
will be tsiumphantly elected.
