PoLITIcAL CowARDs.-Ift the politicians of Kansas
who really against ST. John but who have been
pretending TO he fOr him because they imagined he
vas gong to win, viii now stop playing the part OF
towards and shysers, ST. John will be beaten in the
Convention two to one His strength all along has
been fictitious. The people are not for him. The
statement that they is a part of his game of
bluff. and il has frightened twothrds of the politi
cians of the State. The shameful political cOvaplice
of the politicians, and their anxiety TO he on the
winning side, has given St John all the strength he
has. The elections thus far held. show that the
people with every politician in the State crouchng
in atect and dis.raceful fear know how to beat the
third term, and have the numbers to do it. Let
the politicians come out of the brus and go TO work.
-itohiSoH Champion.
What we said, long ago. We have been OBJ
iecting seriously to rewarding these cowardly
politicians but were powerless. Too many per-
sons who were not cowardly, wanted to re-
ward them for local fIvors But the politicians
are not alone in this. The State is full of ed
itors who keep mp yowling for mcn and meas
ures they do not believe in, because they think
1t is the popular thing. Instead of trying to
direct public opinion in the channel of reason
and right, they sqnawk with the mob, and it is
all the same to them whether the watchword
be LONG live the King" or ''Crucify him"
There are not less than a dozen editors in the
State, who pretend to be leading public men,
and publish leading papers, who are constantly
bohbing and futtering on the fence, eagerly
watching for the right time to jump down ON
the big side. You couldn't push them off the
fence. antil the time came for them to flop.
lou couldn't keep them off the fence, if it were
made Of barbed wire, and they had on linen
breeches.

SReIly-Ache y

This is terra Of not the most delicate order,
bHt is the nnly one that fIlly expresses, isura-
;ivc!y. a condition into which many people fall.
We v-Ty much fear that our once placid and
goo.I- natured friend Of the White Cloud Reriec
is fast contracting the complaint in n chronic
form. Persons in this condition are forever see
ing cliques and rings, and are continually grum-
bling and growing about the rasealty of those
cliqnes and rings. and attribating to them every
untoward occurrence, whether il be the nnsatis-
factory result of primary election, an unexpec-
ted verdict by jury, or a cyclone. That wall,
last week, about presenting bottle of wine to
each of the jurymen in the Troy liquor trial, was
pure ease of belly-aehe-and the worst of il
was, that il was the belly-ache Of some other
persorf than the editor of the Rerier-some per-
son who has it just awful. The editor of the
Rerier ought TO have square gumption sufficient
TO see through few fellows who have a personal
spite to revenge, and are anxious that he should
do the work for them, and help raise Ned over
the County for their benefit. Some Of them live
in White Clond. They will constantly remind
him what good friends they are to him, and al
ways couple it with request that he do some
thing for them But, unless they have improved
upon the past, they 10 not come 10 MIN with
their friendship, and reach down in their jeans,
when he is little short, and has bundle of
patent insdes to lift from the express Office.
There are some here in Troy, who have brooded
over their personal grievances until they are ae-
tually insane upon the subject, and think or
dream of nothing but hsw to get revenge on the
"boss," who claims to "carry the County in his
coat-tai pocket" and all that sort of stuff. Al
though they get wofully scooped in every move
they make, yet they still imagine the general
smash they are going to play-sometime in the
future. They can supply the Rerier with belly
ache enough for a dozen papers, We had the
same tempting chance. But they never offer to
contribute the wherewith to bny his bread and
dinner, or to procure second. hand -four sacks to
make shirts for his babies. If they give him
sl.5O year for his paper, they think they are
regular George Peabodys in the way CT charity.
If he loses patronage because of his pitching into
men who have done him no harm, but to crafty
their spite, they do not offer a nickel to make
good his loss. The belly-ache is Improbable, in
whatsoever way it may attack you.

To FAEMERs.-We try to keep up an Agricul-
tural column, for the benefit of our farmer read
ers, and fill it with selections from approved
agricultural papers. But We must say that we
think there is an awful sight of bosh got off by
those papcrs-downright filthy nastiness. For
instance, read the article on insect remedies, on
our fourth page. The farmer is advised TO kill
cucumber bugs and cabbage worms by mashing
them with his fingers; not only that, but he is
recommended to do the same with squash bugs,
the most stinking, disgusting. siekening insect
ever made. Why, even think of one, and you
can smell him, and will have to yomit. A full
dose from pOle-cat would be Cologne-water, in
comparison. And yet papers that recommend
these things, publish such songs as "a Farmers

TAKE STOMACH BITTERs.-We do not blame
our friend of the Junction City Union for refus-
ing to swallow st. John; but We can not help
thinking that his stomach has become more del
cate than it used to he. In other days, he swal-
lowed Jim Lane as if he were big fat oyster,
and hankered after him every day, and de-
nounced others because they couldn't swallow
him. Now Lane had much more ability than
ST. John, and there his advantage ends. In
every other respect, ST. John is immeasurably
superior to him. Land had no honest political
convictions; he was hyPocrite in religion he
was bully, liar, a denagogue, a murderer,
a libertine, corruptionist, political mountc-
bank vulgar beast; never made a speech that
was decent for women TO listen to; had no re-
gard for women, except for some base purpose
had pimps aad proearers in his employ, and
paid them with political favors; had no regard
for the sanctity of the home of his warmest
frienGs-hut We could ill column, and then not
tell half his vileness. Yet George Martin swal-
lowed HIM, and liked il.

IL 5. 5. McFadden, Of Topeka, seems to be
cheered with his prospects for securing the NOM
ination for State Auditor. We sincerely hope he
may meet his highest anticipatious. For years
he has been in the Auditors Office, and thor
oughly understands the whole minuati;e of the
work of the office. His danger lies in the fact
that he has to rely only upon his official capacity
and integrity, while opponents will come up
backed by Counties, and tiers, and valleys, and
sections, and Judicial Districts, having n fol-
lowing of delegates to swap off for support. We
trust that, for once, mans fitness will be taken
into account. In that case, McFadden will be

Fir1ras Won. lie

Ii is u good thing for ST. John and the super
hne Christians who are supporting his third term
boom and l;i- Prohibition, that bare-fac=l lying
is bot the sin IL nsei TO be- when men and women
were stricken dead for indaiging in the luxury.
Lying is the naiu koii Of 81. John and his sup
porters. Now, the other day, correspondent of
the Topeka Capital ransacked political history,
(or romance,) to prove that third term, and
even oftener, for a Governor of State, has been
rather n rule than an exception. He names over
State after State, and when he comes to New
York, he perpetrates this stuuner: "New York,
from l777, elected one Governor twenty-one
terms one ten, one nine, one six, one five, two
for four, and one for three terms" The term of
a Governor of New York is two years, but for
about fifty years of the above time, it was three
years. Let put it at two years during the
whole period named, and ask no foolish questions
to what Governor served forty-two years. or
twenty years, or eighteen years, and see how the
thing Dabolls, just for luek. II is now l05 years
since I777 the year at which tins great historian
commences his record. One Governor for twen-
ty-One terms, makes az years. One for ten terms,
makes 20 years. a total of 62. One for nine
terms, is IL years, a total of 80. One for six
terms, is I2 years, a total of 81. One for five
terms, is 10 years, n total Of 102. Two for four
terms each, is IL years, total Of lls. One for
three terms, is 9 years-making grand total of
III years to he taken out of los. This, under
stand, makes no account of Governors elected
for one or two terms. These number about twen-
ty, and their terms aggregate not less than 53
years This makes only $50 years accounted for
out of los, in order that st. John may have an
excuse for seeking third term.
We have not analyzed this correspondents fig
ures on other States, New York being as much as
we can stand We think st. Johns crowd would
do well to let figures alone, and confne them
selves to asserting that prohibition is success,
or to pathetic stories of saloon-keepers being
converted, and turning their saloons into head
quarters for the Women's Christian Temperance
Union.
