Hawthorne on War.

The following letter from the
great novelist Nathaniel Haw.
thOrne, written to a friend in En-
gland during our late war, shows
how philOsophically he took in the
situation:
We also have gone to war, and
We seem TO have little, or at least
a very misty, idea of what we are
fighting for. 1t depends upon the
speaker, and that again depends
upon the section of country in
which his sympathies are enlisted.

independence The Middle Yves.

upon the enterprise. The appeals

so contradictory that the Great

OHIO-KANSAS.

Ohio is proverbially an uncertain
state, politically. In the recent cleo
ton she has made one of her periodi-
cal lurches to the Democratic side.
While this is no cause of discourage
ment to the Republicans of Kansas,
since Ohio will doubtless be found
right side up when it comes to ma
tional contest it should nevertheless
warn them against indifference and
over confidence, which We're undoubt-
edly the real cause of the late disaster.
The fact that we have lost a number
OF Congressman in Ohio should stir us
up to reduubled vigialnce to avert
like misfortune i'm Kansas. The re-
turn of Bourbon majority to the
next House of Representatives would
be an unmitigated evil. The sample
of Democratic rule which the country
suffered during the last Congress,
when for the first time in twenty
years that party had a majority, ought
TO certainly TO satisfy every Kansas
Republican that 50 dangerous an ex-
pertinent should not be repeated. 1t
was the old story over again-the
moderate and well-meaning majority
of the party dominated by malignant
and irreconcilable minority, at whose
dictation course unconstitutional, rev.
dictionary and subversive of all order
and good government, was adopted
and persevered in till the country was
on the very verge of ruin.
The Republicans Of Kansas and the
second district have not forgotten how
that Democratic majority under the
lead of the Confederate brigadiers un-
dertook to usurp the functions of the
Pre- sident and force him to approve OBJ
noXious measures; how it attempted
u overthrow the government by
starvation, and absolutely refused to
make the necessary appropriations to
sustain the public service; how it at
tempted to destroy the currency of the
country, and very nearly produced a
panic as disastrous as that OF 1873.
These things, we say. are not for
gotten, and the recollection of them
these should stimulate every voter to
do what lies within his power TO avert
like disaster. Kansas will be recre-
ant alike to duty and her history if she
iails TO send to the next Congress
seven representatives in full sympathy
with the great party of progress, and
with that line of policy which has SO
signally promoted the happiness and
prosperity OF the people.
