IL 1858 the Lecompton Constitution
IS before Congress for acceptance. It
was an instrument framed by pro-
slavery Democrats as Constitution for
the State OF Kansas, then a Ter ritory
and it's purpose was TO force Kansas
into the Union as slave State, against
the well-known will of the people.
Ike Senate adopted It, but the House
refused. In this emergency William
II. English OF Indiana, then q Demo-
cratic member of the House, now
candidate for Vice.President, brought
forward bill of compromise. 1t offer
ed the following bribes to the people
OF Kansas TO induce them to vote for
the Lecompton Constitution and slav-
cry
Two sections OF land in. every town.
ship for schools.
Scvcuty-two sections for . State
University.
Twelve salt springs.
Ten sections OF land for public build
ings.
Five per cent of the sales of public
lands for roads and internal improve
ments.
The bill passed both houses, every
pro-slavey Democrat supporting 1t,
and every man in both houses opposed
to the extension of slavery voting against
it Had the people of Kansas voted
to accept it, the Territory would have
been Immediately admitted as a State,
with slavery buckled Oh its back. They
refused to accept the bribc. The next
Congress was of different political
complexion, and Kansas was admitted
into the Union as free State. English
went out OF public lite then, and, as
the New York Tribune aptly remarks,
she now fittiDgly reappears with the
restoration of the class and the men
whose service was his highest honor
when all the powers of the Government
were asserted only for the one absorb
ing purpose of extending and perpetual
ing humar bondage" The solid
South is now ready to reward him for
menial service twenty-five years ago.

A Caa.s Queer Condnce.

a farmer in Preston, Conn, who
was troubled by rats, purchased cat
with reputation as a mouser, and rats
were soon among the things that were.
But on going into the celler one day
he saw rats sharing the noolrday meal
OF the cat. The cat appeared TO be
charmed by them. The farmer allow
ed the strange friendship to exist for
several days, the rats coming regularly
to partake of meals with the cat. Final
ly the farmer decided to put an end to
the singular friendship, and, taking a
gun, went 10 the celler. No sooner, how
ever, had he fired at and missed the rat
than the cat jumped upon and killed it.
Now the farmer wants to know why
the cat did not kill the rat before.

Coast Null: Dean & Co have seiit
for iron for another crib, which will be
built and settled before work will be
suspended. This will be the thirteenth
crib making $50 feot of wall, which is
considerably more than was at first sup
posed the appropriation would do.
This wall will probably have some
bearing on the course of the current at
ebb tide, but it will be necessary to
have another appropriation before prac-
ticability of this improvement can be
tested. Some late soundIngs made by
the engineers on the line of the crib
work, reveals the fact that the rock
bottom extends nearly if not quite to
the north spit, with depth of wate'
from 25 80 feet, making the best posi-.
bic foundation for the sea wall SO far al
1t may be extended, with the depth ot
water required for a. good ship channel
past the proposed point of termination

Competition i'm Rpa.nes..

An honorable rivalry in business is
10 be commended, but dishonest methods
to secure patronage should merit prompt
rebuke. Il is natural that competition
should exist, but it does not follow that
it should be of a base character To
sell certain articles below cost to bait
the public AMI then place extra value
on other merchandise TO make up the
difference is an unfair method to estab-
liSh. 1t is species OF deception, mean
in principle and disreputable in practice
It smacks of the mock auction plan, and
is akin to thu sawdust swindle. 1t
holds out to- the unwarY the promise OF
or eat bargains, which ls not fulfilled i,
their purchases extend beyond the few
articles sold under valne as an ad.
vertisirg dodge. IT consumers would
exercise q h:tle common sense, they
would know thas q merchant cannot
thrive who processes to sell his wares
below cost. 1t this is the rule of bust
ness il lasts but brief period. A crash
follows, AID honest creditors are swim
died out of their money. 1t ls well
established fact that a merchant who
makes fair profit on every article he
places on sale can afford TO sell lis
goods cheaper than the one who offers
portion OF his wares below cost and
then puts on additional profit on the re-
maiHdcr. Selling some articles at 10
per cent beloV their value, and to
equalize profits, place 80 per cent on
otl ers, is species OF competition that Is
Injurious to regular trade in any COM
munity. 1t is a merchants duty to re-
alize reasonable advance on every article
he sells, as it is only III this way that he
can expect to succeed and pay his
obligations This of course, does not
apply to styles that are out OF season or
to stock on han1 that may be more or
less unsalable, the distribution of which
can Only be male through concessions
from the regular prices.
The competition in the retail trade is
more active than in the Wholesale, and
the practice OF selling below cost is
therefore more general. There is less
excuse also tor this course to be pursued
among jobbers, as they are men trained
for business, having long experience in
mercantile affairs, aud are not ignorant
of the sound methods OF dealing. An
open, fair competition is healthy. as it
breaks up monopolies and has the effect
OF placing a reasonable value on COM
modities. An honest, legitimate man
agement of business Is the only sure
way to permanent success, and money
earned through straightforward methods
generally stays with its prfseseor.-[ q.

The indianapolis Journal gives this
bit of gossip respecting the Democratic
candidate for Vice. President "Mr
EnglisI,'s sleeping-room at his residence
on the Circle, when he was President
of the First National Bank. looked
more like prison than room in a
private residence in the heart OF pop
nlnus CITY. The doors and windows
were barred with iron. Mr.. English
locked himself in when he retired at
night to preven: bank robbers from
coming to his residence and carrying
him off. He was particularly tearful
during the strike of the workingmen
in 1877, and always retired TO this
prison at an early hour, carefully lock-
ing himself in.
