Fit. Scott Monitor: Within the past
few days we have taken occasion to
question a number OF leading Republi-
cans of this section of the state in re-
gard to the expediency in adopting the
Commonwealth proposition and plac-
ing the Republican party on record in
Its platform in favor of the repeal of the
prohibition amendment. Universally
the reply has been: Let the Republi-
can party alone and 1t will take care of
itself Prohibition or anti-prohibition
are not questions with which it can
properly deal. Whenever it takes a
position on either side of this question,
il will drive thousands of voters
from its ranks. Prohibition is a
question for the people to deal
with solely through the legislature. We
trust therefore that the Commonwealth
will let the party alone. Don't worry so
much about these things. 1t is getting

KANSAS DEBT TO GEN. BLUNT.

h<AN0Ago OEDA ~ " E1lN. D6O4 ~
The death of Gen Blunt, in an insane
asylum in Washington last week, recalls
the time when the unfortunate wreck
was powerful friend and defender Of
Kansas, and the sad close Of bis useful
life will pain many an old Kansan
who knows the debt our state
owes him. He came from Maine TO the
territory at an early day, setilingin An
derson county, where he practiccd medi-
cine. He was young, vigorous and out
spoken, was a prominent figure in the
carly Kansas troubles. and was terror
to the Border Ruffian always. He was
delegate from Anderson county TO the
Wyandotie. Constitutional Convention in
1859, in which he was leading member
OF the committee on military affairs,
He was one Of the early volunteers at HIe
opening of the war. being appointed by
Gov. Robinson Lieutenant Colonel oi
the Kansas Third. lie was appointed
BrIgadier General IN 1862, and com
manded the victorious Union forces Al
Cane Hill and Prairie Grove, Ark
That year he was promoted
To the rank of Major General
and commanded the department Of Kan
sas for time, but WIS relieved IN October
1868 His jud sment in selecting Aids
was considered remarkable. He never
made mistake; so with his Aids, guild
ed by his own keen perception and un
bending will aud unb0unded courage
he acquired a national reputation as 4
fighter. II is not only just TO Gen. Blunt
remarks n contemporary, shut q vindi
cation of the truth Of history, and a fac
which the people of Kansas should
never forget, that it was Genera
Blun.'s arbitrary and heroic assumption
Of the command Of the forces resisting
Prices advance, that saved the eastern
portion Of the state of Kansas from spoil
alton by the confederate forces, and
that if General Blunt had been consulted
in the methods of the pursuit after the
fight and victory Of Sunday at Westport
not ten thousand of Prices whole army
would have escaped. Kansas owes
more to the resolute courage and deter
mination of Gen. Blunt than TO any
or all other commanding generals of the
union army, on the two occasions Of
which we have spoken. especially the
latter, for her escape from the ravages Of
a hostile army" After the war he en-
gagged in business in Chicago, in which
he was not successful. After that he
turned his attention TO business in
Washington, interesting himself in va
rIous speculations, where he accumulat
ed large property. AS is known, he
has been in the insane asylum for q
number of years, having become very
nearly demented.

At last the lively silver mining centre
modestly known as Leadville has put the
finishing touch to its civilIzation--it has
INDUCED in its first legal execution.
Men have been executed at Leadville
before, and some of them deserved the
treatment which they received, but the
ceremony was always conducted by pri
vatc enterprise which was not always
stimulated by public spirit; occasionally,
too, the executed and the executioner
might have changed places with
benefit to the community. 1t is worthy of
note that when Lcadville decided 10 have
hanging there was a firm determine
ton that there should be nothing mean
about the affair; two men were taken to
the gallows instead of one and batta-
lion of cavalry and infantry acted as es-
cort indeed, we should not be surprised
to learn that the procession was headed
by the biggest brass band that money
could hire. Leadvillc deserves great
credit for taking the administration of
criminal justice into her own hands.
She might have punished the prisoners
moro judiciously, for any couple of men
who will commit murder for money
would far rather have been hanged than
imprisoned ct hard labor. Still, it is not
well to be too critical with tender be-
ginners at the art of melting out jus
tice. To her rum shops, gambling hells,
schools and churches Leadville has
now added the gallows, so she may
claim to have every outward sign of
modern civilization.

LABOR AND CAPITAL

New York Herald: The relations be
tween labor and capital have not been
so harmonious in years as they are at
present. Looking over the whole coun-
try we can find only one strike of any
consequence, and that is away out in
Wisconsin. The thousands and thou
sands of men employed on the great rail-
road lines from New York to San Fran
cisco, the hardy miners in the coal re-
gions, the skilled mechanics in the New
England mills, the vast army of agricul-
tural labOrers and hosts of toilers in the
great cities which keep their vast ma
chinery in motion seem to be more con-
tented then they have been at almost any
period IN our history. The employees OF
the city are, TO be sure. seeking an in
crease of compensation from the num-
cipal authorities, and it IS to be hoped
they will be successful; but these are
comparatively speaking, a very small
class. There could be no better sign OF
the great prosperity of the country than
this almost universal peace and tran
guilty. Employer and employe are
alike well off, and the best of relations
exist between them.

Postmaster General james has, it is
said, devised plan for sending small
sums of money through the mails at q
cheap rate. The device consists of a

dollars, tens and cents, and the amount
to be drawn is designated by punching
out figures. Two denominations will be
issued, one for all sums within $3.50,
and the other for all sums within So

bic for their safe delivery any
more than for fractional currency
for which they are substi
tutc. The orders will be finely printed
on bank note paper. The postmaster
will sell the $3.50 card for two or three
cents premium, and the 50 card for four
or five cents premium, and will himself
punch out the amount paid and the buy
er will simply inclose the card in his
letter, and the receiver can get it cashed
at any Office. The postmaster will enter
the amount of the order on stub, which
will be the only check the department
will need, as the name of the sender and
payee are not entered. In order to pre-
vent the use of the postal orders as cur
rency they are to be redeemable only for
three months from the date of issue.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: There is
only this to say: if we cannot adopt pre-
ventive measures against this lawless-
ness in our state, we must patiently wait
till the worst elements of our population
die off and a healthier immigration
comes in with courage enough to put
an end to the shameful condition under
which we labor now. And it is absurd
to make believe that true presentation
of the facts will deter immigration. On
the contrary, it will encourage it, just
as Kansas was peopled by men from
New England, for the very reason that
she stood in need Of them to put down
the Missouri guerillas of that time.

PEELED, much against his lenient will, to

Grove not Gagged.

CHICAGO, August 2.-Thc story was
telegraphed from Peoria that Grove,
the inventor of the internal machines,
was arrested in Peoria yesterday. The
U. s. marshal says there is
no truth in the report. No ar
rests have been made and neither
the marshal nor any OF his deputies
have been in Peoria on that business
One special says the arrest was practi-
cal joke. This probably accounts for
the story. Certainly the United States
marshal has received no orders in the
matter and will not arrest anybody with
out special authority.
