SEEKING WESTERN HOMES

Under the above head the New York
Tribune of the 10th has the following
article:
A gentleman, who desires. that his
name shall be kept a secret, last spring
placed in the hands of Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid a sum of money To be used in send
ing a party of boys to- the west in the
same manner as the other parties have
been sent under Mr.. Reid's direction.
He imposed the conditions that the boys
should be orphans or half orphans, the
children of respectable Protestant par
ents, and should be in circumstances Of
actual, present destitution. In seeking
to comply with these conditions, the
agents Of the Children's Aid Society
found it difficult to gather large num-
Der of Protestant orphans who were
without friends. Thirteen boys, howev-
err, were found, who were delighted with
the prospect of finding new home in
the west, and another similar party will
be made up hereafter, to he sent with the
funds remaining for this purpose.
The children came to the rooms of the
society between 8 and 10 Il. IN. yesterday.
Some were ragged and shoeless, but they
were all clean. New suits were furnish
ed them. Many of them told amusing
stories of their past life and the strug-
giles they have had TO endure in the east,
but they looked forward with hope TO
what they believed would be change
for the better. Only one boy cried at
going away. The other boys looked
upon him with pity and tried in every
way to console him.
Before the boys left the rooms for the
train Mr.. Reid visited them. In obedi-
ence to the desires of their unknown
friend, he presented each one of the boys
with Bible, which bore the boys name
in gold letters on the front. He gave
the children few words of advice, and
told them that he happened to know
something about Emporia, the town
where they were going. 1t was the
home of "A United States senator, who
had started in life poor and had worked

always remain unknown to them, but
would watch their progress with un-
usual interest.
In the same party were seven boys,
whose parentage or some other circum-
stance excluded them from the above
conditions; they We're sent by Mr.. Reid
with funds remaining in his hands from

GEN. GRANTS MOVEMENTS.

topeka IL Santa Fe road, and his pro-
gramme is as follows: He VIII reach
Kansas City on the morning of July
end and go direct to Merriam Park, ON
the FIT. Scott & Cult road, and receive
the people of Kansas during the day, re-
turning to Kansas City in the evening.
We believe the programme at Kansas
City includes a night procession IN
which the Topeka Flambeau club takes
prominent part. Saturday, July 3rd'
General Grant is entertained by the peo-
pie of Kansas City, and goes to Leaven-
worth in the evening, spending Sunday
with General Pope ut the Fort, and start
ing west Monday morning. He goes by
the A., I. & s. Fee To Las Vegas, Hot
Springs, New Mexico and thence to
Colorado Springs and Manitou. We
presume he will travel by special train
on the Santa Fe and pass over the coun-
try east of Larned during the day time,
Monday, July 9TH, and will probably be
accompanied by several of the officers OF
the road.
In pursuance of the probability thai
the hero of AppomattoX will pass
through Emporia on the 9th, we learn
that an effort is on foot 10 have hin
stop off at EmpOria for at least an houl
or two, in which event grand recep
ton will be given to the cX-presIdent
Some talk is aflOat this morning of post

will consent to visit EmpOria, on hi

GARFIELD's RECORD.

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat says that
Immediately after the nomination OF
General Garfield, several members
of the Democratic resident COM
mittee made elaborate preparations for
u thorough examination of the con-
gressional proceedings and public docu-
ments for material calculated to smIrch
his character Several experienced re-
porters, who were skilled in researches
of this character, and who from vague,
speculative and most flimsy material,
were expected 10 weave web of official
delinuuencies abous the public life Of
the Republican nominee, were employ
ployed 10 make up II full review To
day these gentlemen reported to the
eager Democratic committeeman that
theirs was a hopeless task; that the
back. pay subject could not be utilized,
and they regarded Garfield clear IN
that; that the Credit Mobiller scandal is
also so much burnt powder as far as Gar
field is concerned; that any attempt to
make capital out of that would only re-
coil upon the Democratic party as eX-
posing their desperate straits, and that
tie paving contracts are equally barren
of material for campaign thunder. One
of the gentlemen remarked that aside
from these supposed scandals, the public
character of Gen. Garfield is withOus 8
blemish, and in looking over the record
of his long career in congress, his
speeches and his votes, he has been con
sistent throughout, sound in his views
of finances, sound on the tariff question
and, in fact, sound on every issue thai
could be brought into ii national polit
ical contest. A member Of the commit
tee replied that as the Democratic party
had no time to spend in accommodating
such material, the matter would be drop
ped, and accordingly set out for Cincin
natl to participate in the Democratic
shindy"

TOM ANDERSON.

The Kansas City Daily Journal has
the following well deserved compliment
for Major Tom Anderson. of Topeka:
We notice that Maj. T. J. Anderson
has returned home from Chicago, and Is
receiving the congratulations of his
friends at Topeka for his work at the
convention. We take the occasion TO
say a well deserved word for this stall
wart Republican. For more than TWEEN
" years he has been an active, aggres-
sive force in Kansas politics, and gal
liant soldier beside He is no far day
friend, but a man of strong convictions,
and unselfish and uncalculating friend
ships. He never works for himself but
always for some friend, and ever for the
party. He made gallant fight for his
rights, and those of his district. and the
friends with him, and won. But while
he lost his first choice, he is to-day al
the front, and no man in Kansas will do
more effective work from this day until
November, than Tom Anderson. I'm
selfish, asking nothing, wanting moth
ing, his time and energies always at the
command of his party. he is one of the
ideal Republicans of the aggressive
state We wish there were more like
him
