POST OFFICE MONEY ORDERS

The post office department report of
the money order system is a grand
tribute to the honesty and efficiency of
the service, which is all IN the hands of
Republican officials, from the postmas-
ter general down. The sale of money
orders was commenced by the postofilce
department November l, 1864, about six
teen years ago, under n Republican adj
ministratlon. From that date upto July
LIST, of the present year, the enor-
nous number Of 51,217,92s domestic
orders, amounting to $500, So, 092.-
SO, have been purchased by the pub
lie. Not one single case of
loss, during all this time, has occurred
TO the purchaser or other owner of a
money order except through his own
gross carelessness, proven and reported
by an agent of the department Even
these cases amount to the Insignificant
sum of Sl,a19.Ol for the whole sixteen
years, or less than 5000 of per cent.

REFORM NEEDED.

We are satisfied a reform in the time
consumed in the terms of the various
courts. AMI in The costs to the public,
would be hailed by all with delight. We
are aware that the trial of causes cannot
be unduly hurried, but one thing has
struck every observer of the slow pro-
ccedings of our courts, and that is that
great deal of time is unnecessarily
wasted. We think il is rule when n
case is called that it is not ready for
trial. Jurors and witnesses are kept
waiting day after day, after they have
been notified that their presence would
be needed Their expenses, as well as
those of the various counties, are in
creased by thousands of dollars every
year by what seems inexcusable delays.
If lawyers were given to understand
that they must be ready with
their cases, and that nothing
but the very best reasons for postpone
ment or delay would be entertained,
they would he ready. We have no ref
erencc to any particular court or local.
~ in what we say, but call attention to
the matter because we believe the evil TO
be- general. We believe the judge who
would take the responsibility of reform
ing this matter wonld receive the unanI.
nous thanks of the public, and make
Tor himself a reputation which would be
oC substantial benefit to him.

A significant article by the Hon. Geo.
s. Boutwell, in the North American Re
view for December, entitled "The Flu
ture Of the Republican Party" is sure
TO arrest public attention. Written after
the result Of the elections had been AS
certained, this article defines the position
which the Republican party is in logic
and in policy bound to assume toward
the southern states. Concession, CON-
promise, Cancellation, the author says in
substance, will no longer he tolerated.
No person is to be admitted To- n scat in
the senate unless the record of his cleo
ton Is clear. New laws are To be passed
for the supervision and protection of the
ballots in the elections of members Of
the house of representatives and prcsi-
Dental electors. The civil mag.
istrates must have the means
within call 0he army of protecting
the ballot and keeping the peace.
The United States must insure to
the people of each state truly Republi-
can form of government. No grants will
be made for internal improvements in
any southern state where the
equality of all men before the law is not
living, practical fact. The other arti-
cles In the December number of the Re
view are: "The Discoveries at Olympus"

THE COUNTRY

II is u pleasure To day amidst the
Thanksgiving season, to look oyer our
broad country and see peace and pros
perity everywhere How different from
four years ago In 1876, like 1890, We
had just closed national political strug-
gle. Then the dark clouds of trouble and
sectional strife hung over us threatening
the peace of the country The financial
gloom that prevailed has been penetrat-
ed bf the shunshine Of returning pros
perity, and to-day VIC gee comparative
good will everywhere. The power Of the
people tn govern themselves has been
tested spew, and there IS more real canse
for rejoicing over the condition of ouI
country ,hsn al any time in the past
Every American can stand up to-day and
say be has q country be can be truls
proud Of Al no time since the war, and
indsed for many years before the waF
has the prospects for the proper develop
mcnt Of The country looked so bright
We have ridden the storm over every
difficulty Our institutions have beer
weighed and are not founC
wanting The Creator of all this gooC
has honored US as people above thos'
of any other country on earth. Their
nre millions bound TO day under the op
pressions of despotism. There are othe
millions suffering from war, strife ant
famine. Americans are thankful for
better and firmer national existence &c
day ian ever; for peace and quiet; 70
prosperity and public confidence; for III
privileges Of free worship, free speech
free schools, and selfgovernment. Il
this season of Thanksgiving, no goo'
citizen should withhold heartfelt az
acknowledgements TO God for all the bless
ings sbowered upon the country.

AMrn1crs Nnr Isl lisa.

Once more the Goddess Of Liberty has
called upon her sons; once more from
the dome OF heaven she has unfurIed our
emblem of liberty, and asked the nation
to renew its faith IN the wisdom of the
founders Of this grand fabric of a gov
ernment; and the result has astoaished
even the lovers of liberty themselves.
Free speech and a free press, are the
safety valves through which the Ameri-
can people can veptilaie their ideas OF
governmental affairs; but when a sworn
enemy TO liberty, labor and law, attempts
through force OF fraud, intimidation or
hypocracy, to seize upon this heritage OF
ours, every lover of mankind will stand
forth and bearing the scepter of his author
iiy (the BALLOT will say, ''peace. be still."
A nation that will not earn its bread must
fall, and any section, whether north or
south, that through false ideas of honor,
or pride. refuses to produce by honest
toll the amount that they consume,
must drop behind, and become
an exeressenee on the caudle appendage
of civization; The south has never been
true to herself, she has trampled beneath
the iron feet of slavery the conscience of
every man and woman on her soil; and
while they stand where they do to-day.
We cannot trust them, not with the most
sacred office, not even to convey the
fruits ofhonest toll, to feed the withered
lips of famine. /. c. MORE.

WHY NOT2

Why shouldn't Kansas, the banner
Republican state, be represented ia the
presidents cabinet? Where is there a
more competent man for secretary of
the interior than Senator Plumb? He
has lived on the frontier for quarter OF
n century, is familiar with ali of the i'm
portant questions that arise in the in
terror department, possesses superior ex-
ecuiive ability. and is n gentleman of
unquestiOned MISREPRESENTATION City
Union.
We do not know whether the mention
of Senator Plumb's name in this connec-
ton will be sanctioned by him or not,
but we do know that the suggestion OF
his appointment to the place is received
with satisfaction by his friends in this
state, and his appointment to the place
would be an honor to Kansas which the
Republicans of the state would appre.
ciate. He possesses the qualifications
which would eminently fit him tor the
Office. He is not a iheOTist, but prac,
teal man and has practical knowledge
of the wants of the people which
a residence of twenty-four years
in Kansas has given him. He is an
able, shrewd and experienced lawyer
and business man, Is thoroughly versed
in tie history, traditions and character
of the Indians, and no man would bring
to the discharge of the duties of the of
flee more thorough acquaintance will
its affairs, and the relation they bear tC
the public, than Senator Plumb. Hi:
executive ability is of the highest order
and his industry aud devotion TO the
interests o( the government would make
him an able and efficient secretary.
1t may be said that Kansas is not en-
titled TO so much consideration mt the
hands Of tho administration. Why not
Did not the Kansas struggle of $3.50
% make the Republican party? Did
she not do her full share in the preserva
ton of the government during the war
It Is true her Republican majority is
sure and will be so long as the party re
mains true TO the interests of the people
| but are not Iowa and Massachusetts, re
| liable Republican states? Both now
have and long have had cabine
positions. Minnesota now enjoys
the honor of cabinet officer, with thu
same congressional representation, ant
with over 100000 less population thar
Kansas. Our state is rs much entitled
to distinguished recognition in thu
councils of the nation rs any state IN til
union. Her people really deserve it By
reason of their devotion to the princi
pies and interests Of the government
and the Republican party.
