THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE
PLACE.

We can think of no man in the state
who would nil the place made vacant by
the death of Alfred Gray better than
would George \. Crawford of Fort Scott.
He is u thorough Kansas man, familiar
with the history and resources of the state,
and having u wide acquaintanceship
among its people. He has always been
interested in just such facts and statis-
tics AS the secretary of the state board of
agriculture collects and complies. He
has resided in Kansas for twenty.three
years, and has done his full share i'm the
work of developing the resources of our
State. He has, upon several occasions,
materially aided Mr.. Gray in his work,
and is familiar with duties of the Office.
He Is a gentleman of acknowledged abil-
tiles, of scholarly tastes, and great indus
try. All of these qualities are needed in
tins office, and we are confident that Mr..
Crawford possesses them. He Is, too, a
man who deserves any favor the state
can confer upon him. We sincerely
trust that he may be chosen as Mr. Gray's
successor-Aichison Champion.
We cordially second the nomination
and If Mr.. Crawford's health will permit
him to discharge the duties of the Office,
his appointment would be approved by
the entire people of the state.

PROBABLY CORRECT.

The following spiritualistic letter, pub
lished in the Topeka Commonwealth, is
no doubt an epllnation of some brain
still in the flesh, but twill strike good
many people as about the c!earest and
most logical idea of future existence
that can be expressed:
My name is Tom Thornton-W. w.
ClimensOn-I want to tell you something
about the spirit world us l found il. II
is not the golden city that we used to
hear SO much about. 1t is far too large
for that. IL is not hell; il is far too cold
for that. IL is around and about you and
every one, and comprises the whole uni
verse; you cannot comprehend its mag
nitudc. 1t is very similar to the natural
world, only more spiritual and more
beautiful. 1t is an existence where ev-
cry one knows themselves as they are
and as they have been, whether good or
bad, as it may be, The person knows
himself rs though he saw himself in a
mirror; every one is his own judge, and
sees his own justification or condemna-
ton, as the matter may be.
God, the creator of all things, deals
justly with all living; he is no respector
of persons, neither the blood of sheep,
nor of goats, nor martyrs to the contra
~, all have To work out their own des-
tiny-as they live IN the natural world
so they enteTHthe spiritual world, right
where they left Off in the natural. If
they have lived for humanity and for
good, then they receive the reward of the
well-doing. II they have lived the life
of the hypocrite and the dissolute, they
will receive the condemnation awaiting
them. No one can change the destiny
they have made for themselves; they
viii have TO work their way out of the
conditions they have made for them.
selves.
do not justify myself for the life /
lived in the natural world, and if l had
to live il over again, knowing what now
know, / would live il different. / would
try 10 live so as to reach a higher place
in spirit life. But do not wish to eX-

ton that we can advance ourselves to

now occupy. From your friend,

ANCIENT MASONRY.
The Embiems on the ObelisE.
NEW YORK HERALD BUREAU, }


LONDON, Jan. 20, $780,
BY cable 20 the Inter Ocean
The correspondent of the Herald. at
Alexandria, telegraphs as follows:
DIR. Fanton, highly instructed Ma
son, has finished IA careful examination
of the foundation of the obelisk of Cleo
patra'S needle, and confirms lieutenant
commander Gorringe's discovery of the
Masonic emblems which establish the re-
lations of many ancient Egyptian mon
uments. DR. Fanton declares that the
Hiram version of Masonry, which orig
mated with the construction of Solomon's
temple, is disproved by the rcvela-
tons of the foundations of the obelisk
The Masonic emblem of life and the sun,
beyond doubt, is identical with the
monument OF the Egyptian god, Orsis.
This proves that Masonry originated
with the construction of the pyramids.
or, at least, with n far remotOr period
than the construction of the foundation
OF the obelisk. The number of blocks
comprising the foundation as well AS
their position and arrangement, indicate
that the ancients were familiar with the
higher degrees of Masonry, at least as
high as the 18th degree Many peculiar
emblems not understood by Lieut. Com
Gorringe were fully explained by
DIR. Fanton. From n Masonic point of
view this discovery furnishes u clue to
other important discoveries, not only
under the fallen obelisks, but also in
other parts of Egypt, rendering probable
a solution of the mystery of the construc-
ton of the pyramids. Among the dis
coveries was found perfect cube, and
also emblcms ofall Masonic foundations.
Lieutenant Commander Gorringe, who
is member of the Masonic. fraternity,
entirely approves of DIR. Fanton's explain
alton, and gives the dispatch his entire
