ST. JOHNS BOOM.

In reply to the Enporia Ne,cs' col
umn answer To the EAGLES structures
on st. Johns policy, We say that we
simply refuse to accept such false pO-
sition. The EAGLE never complained
of st. John because he is temperance
man, and the Ners knows it. The Re-
publican party contains thousands oi
just as good temperance men as St.
John. In fact, the Republican party
contains large majority of the TEN
peranee men of the country. And while
whisky and Democracy have been pro-
nounced synonimous, yet there are many
Democrats. aud earnest ones, who are
As consistent and true temperance men
as ST. John. In fact. that WAS the bur-
den of our whole article, /. e.: the tenn
perance question is not a political one
in any sense. AMI should not be.
Governors Anthony, Harvey, Craw-
ford and Robinson. all honored Repub-
lican Governors of Kansas in the past.
were just as -irong temperance men ns
ST. john, hut neither of them ever jeop-
ardizcd the life of the party by attempt
ing To make any such principle Il polit-
zeal issue.

GRANT AMONG TIE PEOPLE.


The politicians of the country have
wagged themselves sore in the assertion
that the body OF the party was not for
Grant. Throughout the country, for
tie past weeks votes have been taken
ON trans and in all kinds OF assemblies,
aud nine times out Of ten the people
answer '.Gran,." Tale kapsas and
that is almost universally the case. On
the train going east of Topeka on SAT-
urdav from Wichita the vote stood.

THE WATER ROUTE.

The New York Tribune manifests
some concern, If not alarm at the fact
that the Western shipments to the sea-
board and for Europe, down the Mis-
sissippi TO New Orleans, has been rap
idly increasing Of late. indicating that
New Orleans is in fair way Of soon
being formidable competitor with the
Atlantic ports in the matter Of foreign
grain shipments. In past years the
largest quantity of grain ever received
in New Orleans in one week was 50O,OOO
bushels. Now the weekly grain receipts
are more than double that quantity.
Says the 1ribaae::
The especial advantage claimed for
New Orleans as port Of shipment, has
always been that the river transpOrta-
tiou, open below Cairo all winter, would
make the route cheaper than any route
east ard by rail during the season ot
suspended navigation on the lakes and
raHa!. would therefore charge during
the winter for shipments eastward by
Idiis AbiS tuspt uhS uOt OCCu JtpugN
to test, since the opening of the mouth
ofthe Mississippi, until this winter. Bu,
the recent shipments by river appear to
indicate that the theory is not wholly
baselcss. and that the movement BY
river is capable Of almost indefinite ex-
pansion, whenever the rates charged
for eastward transportation by rail are
too high. This season. owing to the
large demand for wheat in Europe. the
trunk railroads apparently calculated
that they could ..harge as much as they
pleased. without danger Of losing any
Important part Of their traffic. But re-
ceipis of I ,lO0, 900 bushels in one week
at New Orlcans--am0unting, to nearly
half Of ihe entire receipts at all tie At
fahtic ports, or A. 2 per crnt--indicate
thai the competition from that quarter
may in tine become unexpectedly Sc

To have provoked reply from Bur-

editor of the state will admit, but that
anything that could have been written,
should thus cut him to the quick, we
are not ready to believe. Observe those
crocodile tears, and those possum inno-
