Bob Ingersoll's last lecture is entitled
what Shall / Do to be Saved =" We
give it up as to Bob, but at a venture we
should say that charging people dollar
head for telling them that they have
nothing about them that is worth saving
is not the way best calculated to obtain
the end in view.
We greatly fear that the ultimate effect
of the triumph of IngersolIism has
never been fully estimated OF course
if the theological ienets of the great in
fidel should prevail, the abolition
of Sunday school picnies would inevita-
bly, ensue, and then what would the peo-
pie of Kansas do for rain.
The official figures reported show that
the tide of immigration is setting in
with greater volume than ever before.
During the month of March, which is a
season when few care TO encounter the
hardships and perIls Of q sea voyage,
nearly twenty thousand immigrants
landed at New York and Baltimore.
Hart, the colored pedestrian, who
came out winner in the late leg race at
New York, received $17. 1000 as his share
of the spoils, larger sum than many
of our talented authors receive for their
finest publications. What the American
people want is To eat less fish and drink
more milk. Calves pay vastly better
than brains.

eminent dare 10 steal seat in the Unit
ed States senate? Some of them are not
anxious to do it, but the patriot % Ben
Hill, who is now one OF the leading par
ty managers, urges the matter and threat
ems TO resign from the committee on cleo
tons if Kellogg is not ousted. The bet
ter men of the party may well hesitate
to commit the outrage. The case has al
ready been tried and adjudicated upon
its merits. Mr.. Kellogg holds his seat
by as indefcasible title as does senator
Thurman, of Ohio-even more so, for
the merits of Kellogg's election have
once been before the body and tried and
decided. The senate is "A continuing
body, and when it has once passed upon
the merits of a case, involving the ques-
ton of the due election of one of its
members, that case is adjudicated and
cannot be reopened. No precedent for
the proposed action with reference to
senator Kellogg can he found III the
whole history of the senate. If such q
precedent be now established, it at once
places seats in the senate in the con-
troll of partisan majority and instead
of the two-thirds required by the cOnsti-
tuition to expell senator, it will only
require partisan majority to accom-
plish the same end.

Commissioner of Agriculture


The Democratic majority OF the house
committee on elections has reported in
the neutrality-suspicious. contested case
from the third Minnesota district. The
report, as some time since announced in
our Washington dispatches. finds neith-
er of the claimants entitled to the seat
1t leaves the proposed theft of it incom-
plete, SO that, if the matter be let go over
to the next session, the larceny may then
be cOnsummated, if necessary, in order
to secure the electoral vote of the state,
should the presidential election be thrown
into the house. Whether this programme
will be carried out remains to be devel-
oped. There is no doubt of the willing
ness of the Democratic revolutionists
and conspirators to steal both this con-
gressional district and Kellogg's seat in
the senate, but their experience with
Maine has made them little cautious
in Wow of the presidential election.

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

In another column will be found the
views Of Senator Plumb on the Indian
question, as recently expressed by him
in the debate on the Ute bill in the Uni
ted States senate. The senator's ideas in
relation to this vexed problem, are pred
icated upon his personal knowledge of
the red man, and are therefore entitled
to larger measure of consideration
than the judgment of those whose opin.
ions have been based upon the represen.
tations OF others. The sentimental gla.
mour which has invested with a sort of
glorified mantle the noble red man of the
forest since the moment when he first
turned his back on the advancing march
Of civilization, has slowly but surely
faded away before the keen sunlight of
higher and more general intelligence,
and however deeply the poetic sense of
ahe nation may be stirred by the inevita-
BILE woes of race which is rapidly near.
ing extinction, it has come TO be an &C.
cepted fact that the elimination of the In
dian as factor in our political economy,
is one of those legitimate sequences from
which the inexorable law of the survival
of the fittest tolerates no deviation. This
has been the logic of events throughout
all the history of the past. Throughout
all the economy ofnature, as well as in all
systems Of government, the lower orders
are dominated by the higher, and yield
their places in pursuance of decree that
defies evasion.
The highest types of civilization
which the world has ever seen have been
erected upon the RUNS of barbarous sys-
TENS which have given way to more ad-
vanced and progressive movements, and
the Indians of America cannot hope to
escape the fate which their condition
surely imposes. There has been already

ton, and 1t is time that it were fairly

LAWRENCE AeITATED.

From the special correspondence of
the Topeka Commonwealth we copy the
following account of an affair which has
thrown our neighboring city of Law
renee into Il state of wild excitement:
A few days ago there came TO Law
renee Il man who registered at the ht.teI
as Maurice b. Chace, and represented
himself as an insurance agent of New
York He carried himself in the most
quiet manner, having very little to say,
until last night, when lie became very
much intoxicated and noisy, and bent
upon having good time. This morning
the city was thrown into fever of eX-
cltement, as the report rapidly spread
that Dick Parnell and Dave Carman had
both been badly shot and arrested for
counterteiting, by Il detective in Car
mans saloon.
1t seems Chace has been hunting for
Carman for some time, and only learn
ed his whereabouts Il short time ago
He came here at once, and was soon sat
ls1ed that Carman WIS dealing in the
queer" and this morning proceeded TO
arrest him while alone, in a peaceable
way. Chace had taken handouts from
his pocket, and was about to place them
on Carman, when Parnell appeared upon
the scene, and excitedly said, Catch
hold of him and l will soon fix
him" As quick as lightning Car
man grasped Chace, and Parnell
drawing il knife, struck ut Chace with it.
Chace, i'll the struggle to get away, had
turned partly around, and received the
knife in the back just below the shoulder.
After receiving the blow, Chase jerked,
and running backward few steps drew
brace Of pistols and fired nine shots IN
quick succession. Five took effect on
Parnell, one passing completely through
his nose, the second striking him on the
left check, just above the chin and lodg-
ed near his right eye, the third struck
his shoulder and ranged downward to
his lung, and the fourth and fifth strik-
ing his limbs Two took effect on
Carman, one striking him in the
bowels and the other making
merely flesh wound in his thigh.
The two missing shots must have been
fred after both were down, as they struck
the floor, tearing up large splinters. AT
ter Chace had placed handouts on Car
man he fell from loss of blood. Carman
will recover, but Parnell will die Chace
says after being cut he became delirious
and did not know hardly what he was
doing, but shot until he knew both were
down. Chace's wound is not deep, but
very painful, and when his clothes were
removed they were saturated with blood.
About $4,000 counterfeit money was
found in the cellar, and the plates for
making spurious coin and the press for
stamping was captured. Lawrence is in
a fever of eXcitment and Chase was car
ried to the hotel, followed by hundreds
of people cheering him.

A FEARFUL WARNING.

In the county Jail at Canton, Ohio, the
late home of the writer, are confined three
boys, none of whom have posed the age
of eighteen years. and, horrible as it may
appear, they are all condemned to death
at a very early day, having been found
guilty of the awful crime of murder, and
sentenced to pay the penalty of their
henious misdeeds on the scaffold
One day this week the doomed lads
were visited by representative of the
Repository, published at Canton, and in
a protracted interview with the reporter,
one of the murderers frankly confessed
that his terrible fate was wholly due to
an excessive pursuit of that class of vile
literature through whose medium all de-
scriptions of crimes and horrors are pub
lished to the world, and rendered sensa.
tional to the highest degree by the facile
reporter, thus exciting and fostering
morbid taste in the public mind, which
is certain to bear fruit, in due seas
on, of the baneful order indicated.
The unfortunate youth stated that at
an early age his passion for reckless
adventure became inflamed by the as
sidious perusal of THE Boys OF New
York." and in the reading of which he
even now relieves the oppressive tedium
of his dismal confinement. He request
ed the Repository man to publish the
cause of his impending doom, and to
warn all boys against falling into the
same dreadful pit-fall. There is indeed
food for serious reflection in this mourn
full case, and though not in the nature of
local intelligence we cannot forbcar
pointing the moral which the
occurrence so clearly indicates.
In the city of Emporia the circulation
of this class of literature has reached an
extent sufficient to poison the mind of
every youth in the town, and the avidity
with which young boys are seen to seize
upon the Police Gazette and other pa
pers of its pernicious stamp may well
arouse the apprehension of parents as to
the results of this baleful indulgence.
We must confess that to us it seems
indeed sorry justice for the law which
permits the dissemination of that class
Of literature to condemn to death the
youths which fall victims to its deadly
influences. The time has come, we think,
when legislation should interpose to ar
rest the awful consequences of blazoning
TO the world, through the medium of SEN
sational accounts, the sickly and revolt
ing details of public executions and the
pictorial representation of these and
other horrors through the channel of the
public press. So completely has this
system blunted the moral sense of the
public that murder, rapine and plumber
are now entered into with all the reck-
less abandon of the participant in the
most harmless mirth, and in many cases
the glowing account of the ca
lamitous results of the venture
is regarded as an ample compensation
for the conviction of and penalty for
crime. If there is any one evil which
is effecting the corruption of the youth
of our country to-day it is the publica-
ton of such literature, and we earnestly
entreat all parents to sec that their chill
dren are not permitted to suffer from its
contact.

THE CHICAGO DELEGATION.

The Kansas delegation to Chicago is a
strong one. 1t is headed by senator p.
b. Plumb, of Emporia, who was unani-
mously chosen chairman at the first
meeting. Next after Plumb in power
and influence in our state comes Ben.
Simpson, of Paola, who is also on it.
Col. John A. Martin. editor of the Atch-
ison Champion, another of the delegates,
has been for twenty years leader in the
Republican party of this state, and is one
of our best known men. Judge Perkins,
of Oswego, is an able and shrewd poll.
tician, and s. $. Benedict, of Wilson, is
a well known state senator and legisla
tor. Hutchinson, Motz, Case, Walcott
and Thompson are not 50 widely known
as the others, but they are men of influ.
ence in their respective localities.

EAIIING

The advance in many of the leading
articles of manufacture, such rs iron,
paper, leather, etc, was more the result
OF dishonest combination, than from any
real cause, and the public are already re-
joiced to see the bottom falling out of
the ''iron boom" Last July the prices
of pig iron ruled at $14 to SIG per ton in
Philadelphia. They then began to ad-
vance and went rapidly up to $42. For
sometime, the market has shown signs
OF weakening, and n few days since one
of the prominent companies issued cir
culars reducing the price from $40 to
$50 per ton. This rate is still far to high
for consumers, and the probability is
that before the summer is over we shall
see pig iron down to $50 per ton.
