ACrnzy Confidence Man.

A man vino gave hislnaine as Perkhll was arrested
on the A. & n. train yesterday morning, and lodged
in the calaboose in this city, while awatitg the ar
rival of ofcers to take him back to Highland. He
evidently guilty of one Of the most remarkable and
altogether confidence games that was ever at
tempted in this vicinity.
He actually endeavored to confidence ellknown
Highland firm out of an agricultural and hardware
stock, but by SO transparent q game that he was
speedily detected and arrested.
The story should really be divided into two chap
tiers, the of the first at White Cloud. and the
second at Highland On Tuesday night at a late
hour this man Perkhill knocked at the door of Mr.
Springers house. of the firm of Springer Emerson
bankers at White Cloud, and when Mr.. Springer
asked from the balcony over the door who was there
he stated his name. and said he wanted TO him at
his Office on important business and also inquired
whether the bank safe had time lock. These nys
terious questions, which looked like bank robbery,
aroused Mr.. Springer's suspicious, and he declined
descend from his elevated position Perkhil then
demanded g, 900. which he said was on deposit st
the hank TO his credit, and then Mr.. Springer, who
knew he didn't have nine cents in that institution,
concluded he either playing q snap game or
crazy, and declined to protract the interview any
longer. Yesterday morning Mr.. Springer got on the
train to to Atchison, and before starting re-
eeived dispatch from Perkhill, nstructiug him to
bring the 600 to Highland, where he would meet
him. On arriving at Highland, Mr.. Springer found
Perkhi in company with Kennedy e. Co, agricul-
tursll and hardware dealers, with whom he
gotiating for the purchase of their stock represen
ting that Mr.. Springer would bring the purchase
money from White Cloud. But Mr.. Springer didn't
had s. 900 in Atchson bank, and Of the part
ners started with him for this city to get it, Mean
while the suspicious of the Highland people bad be-
come aroused, and the partner received n dispatch
while route, depurizng him to arrest Perkhll
which he did and landed him in the Atchieon Gala
boose.
Those who know him best think the man cracked.
and the way he went about this game wound lead
to believe He has been arrested once before
and served term in the Troy jail for forging or
der. He has also worked a vagrant the streets
of White Cloud.-IlehisoH Champion, 18th.

Prohibition and Immigration.

Every Kansas man is required 10 blow about
the prosperity sf Kansas, whether the facts Jus
tify it or not, nader the penalty of being consid
erred disloyaI. and an enemy TO the well-being OF
the State. In accordance with this rule, We
end the papers, even those that are opposed to
the prohibitory movement, continually asserting
that the State is prospecting and receiving
heavy immigration, in spite Of the consequences
prophecied to result from the passage oil that
measure These statements are utterly untrue
There are not ten persons coming into the State
where there were thousands in former years ;
but, on the contrary, people are leaving, ana
the State to-day has less population than IL had
two years ago. On the great thoroughiafes'
leading from the Missouri River ferries, which
were formerly thronged with emigrant teams u
is now a rare occurrence to see one; ana more
are seen leading from Kansas than coming 10 II.
Ask any person living on these lines ana Ut
these ferries whether this statement is not true
On what railroad line arc einigrants rushing 70
Kansas or coming in any shape, except few and
far between. They are not coming, and those
who assert that they are. say what they know
10 be untrue.
We have lately conyersed with an intelligent
forth between the Eastern States and the noun
tains, and who has no interest in glorifying OF
depreciating Kansas and her prospects. He says
that the Pittsburg Fort Wayne and Chicago
the Michigan Southern, and the Wabash Roads,
each run two sections Of emigrsnt cars daily,
section containing sixteen cars, which are al
ways crowded with western bound emigrants.
Formerly, large proportion were bound for
Kansas but now he can scarcely find one COM
ing to this State. They go to Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, and very large
proportion to Dakota-all around us, but none
for here. He had just returned from South
Western Konsas, and happened to get on large
train on the Sante Fe Road, going to Kansas
City The train was so crowded that there was
scarcely standing room, and the passengers were
nearly all settlers leaving Kansas. He inquir-
ed of a gentleman, who said he was resident
of the State, what this meant. The gentleman
langhingly replied: "oh, they are taking the
time between hay and harvest TO go and see
their wifeis folks" At Kansas City, where he
formerly found jam of emigrants about the de-
pot, he found it almost deserted, with the ex-
eeption of persons going eastward. Business
men of Kansas City told him that the tide had
turned, and that Kansas City was feeling it
keenly. They looked for crash, in the next
year or two, and shrewd men were fortifying
themselves for it.
These are the observations Of an intelligent
and truthful man, who travels with his eyes
open and has intercourse with people all over
the country. We have no doubt of the entire
correctness of all his statements. When the
people of Kansas recover from their first spasm
of prohibition, and have time TO look around,
they will find it So

e While we are pleased to hear of conces-
sions and compromises in any State, to harmon
ize the Republican party, and insure success, we
do think the Republican State Convention in
Pennsylvania, the other day, was the comPletest
farce we have seen for many year. There has
been q revolt against the bosssm Of Cameron,
and the independent kickers had become so for
midable that the defeat of the party seemed in-
evitable. So the Stalwarts and Independents
held conference, and agreed to make cOnces-
sions, and unite harmoniously. And this was
how it was done, at the State Convention: A
set of long-winded resolutions were adopted,
eondemning the one-man power, and the use
of public patronage to control conventions, and
in favor of civil service reform; then the Con-
vention, chosen by the very means which it con-
demned, proceeded to nominate the ticket Sc
lected by Cameron! 1t is we'll that the indie
pendents Of Pennsylvania are easily satisfied.

QUESTION OF SoP.-Some Of the papers are
discussing the question whether it is good man.
ners to sop bread in the plate of gravy at table
Ii may not be good manners, but it is good eat
ing. Which reminds us of story. In the old
time. n young fellow in the country was court
ing girl, and the sitting room was also the
cooking and eating room. He frequently got
there before supper was ready, and noticed that
when they fried ham and bacon, lots of good
gravy was left in the skillet to waste. One
evening, before starting, he deposited in his
pocket one of those large. oblong corn cakes
familiariy known as "dodgers.p When supper
was placed on the table, he was invited to sit
up; hut pulling out his cake, and making for
the fireplace, he replied: '.No. 1 thank you:
believe I'll inst sop my dodger.r

FIFTY YEARS AGo.-The year 1892 has been
called "Desth's royal year." because SO many
eminent men died during that year-men of let
ters and science. Among the number were Sir
Walter Scott, Cuvier, the naturalist, Spurzheim,
the phrenologist, DIR. Adam Clarke, the poet
Crabbe, Jeremy Benthsm, Charles Carroll, the
last of the signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pcndence, Champollion the younger, the famous
Egyptologist, Sir James Macintosh, Lord Ten
terden, Clemanti and Manuel Garcia, the CON-
posers, Napoleon H., King of Rome, Anna Maria
Porter, the novelist, c. C. Cotton, the American
author, Philip Frenean, the poet, and Gen.
Sumter and Gen. Morgan Lewis, of the Reyolu-
tion. Tho year 1882 has made a commencement
for another royal year. LongfellOw, Emerson,
and Darwin have died, and Whittier is very fee
ble and i'll, and may die at any time.

CoLp SPRISGs.-There is no occasion to lie
alarmed at the continued cold weather. There
have been many worse years. Even we, young

in imitation of a previous May that some people
recollected. On the 18th Of June, 1857, there
was brisk snow-storm in this part of the coun-
try. May, ls5s, was colder than this one. There
was heavy frost on the night of the Goth. We
believe it was the year that frost killed the
wheat in Ohio and Indiana, that had already
