II For years past, We have been hearing reg
ularly that d. r. Anthony was played out, and
was dead in Leayenworth; and for years his op-
ponents there have been putting him down. But
he seems to carry whatever he undertakes, and
TO 20 as a delegate to all the conventions. Now,
if the people of Leavenworth cannot prevent him
from doing whatever be chooses, they ought to
quit asking other people to help them. Especial
ly, they ought not to demand Of congressman
that they have him turned out of the post-ottice,
when the united influence of his opponents can
not defeat him as delegate TO 9 convention to
nominate Congressmen.

OF elOuled H.ht and shades
In a weary life, where its every hope
Like dew in the morning fades
When wake TO find that the strength Of our love
Ii erushed and thrown at feet
And the sunshine Of life is turned into night,
And in every czres- 3 defeat;
That the path we thought strewn only with flowers,
Il piercing our feet with its thorns
And the smoothdrtng sea- with its treasures bright
l. darkened with gathering storms;
That the music we loved in by -gone days
l. turned to 4 ghostlike strain
And the very faneies we loved we'll
Seem filed with untold pain
And this is my fate, and this n my life:
Ipray, but il matters not;
And my snguished soul in darkness gropes
Signing for one green spot.
And why should Heaven be 30 far from mel

II The National W. c. I. L. are making in
quiries of the County superintendents in this
State, as to what scientific temperance education,
if any, is being taught in the schools of Kansas.
This suggests something practical. A regular
course of instruction, teaching children the COM
position and nature of intoxicating liquors, and
that they are as poisonous as strychnine, and as
sure death as pistol shot, although much slow
er and productive of more misery than either,
would be better thing for the cause Of temper

crowded into the statute books, and all the va

II The State editorial excursion went through
the stale foolery of taking vote for GOverner,
and there is big squabble over it, As reported,
it gave John A. Martin a large majority, with
st. John at the tail end. Some fellow at Hutch
inson gets on the rampage, and declares the
count was falsfed, and that st. John had a
large majority. We are glad to hear this. We
thought strange when We heard that Martin was
SO far ahead. These editorial excursions are
usually composed of at least three-fourths of
woodeners, who run little patent outside con-
Germs, and let the other sides run themselves,
and who are always promptly on hand when
there is chance for free ride, to stuff their
CUTS without paying anything for it. 1t would
be out of character for snch a crowd to to give
majority for anybody else than st. John.

q Three negroes murdered a man at Law
renee, last week, for his money. They were ta-
ken from the Jail by mob, on Friday night, and
hanged on the bridge. Our Kansas laws are so
nice and harmonious, that if murderers are to be
punished, it must be done by mobs. When a
murderer is convicted, he cannot be hanged un-
til the expiration Of year, and then only upon
the order of the Governor. This order St. John
never issues He is so busy enforcing the prohi-
brtion law, that he fcrgets there are other laws
that he is sworn to enforce, and does not concern
himself about such small affairs as murders.

the unanimous support he is receiving from the
Republicans of Leavenworth. The County Con-
vention to select delegates to the State Congress
sional Convention was held last week, and a
committee was appointed to wait upon him, and
request him to name the delegates whom he
wished to attend the State Convention, which
he did and his choice was ratified.

q The town of Independence, in this State,
situated in section that gets its share of what
ever growth there is, has fallen off 400 in popu-
lation since the last census. When they tell you
how Kansas is growing under prohibition, they
pick out a few places that have been growing,
or a few. localities where the census has been
doctored for the purpose of showing the benefits
of the prohibitory law; but the figures of indie
pendence are a sample of the actual fact through

companied with supplement, but both supple
Inents were gone, and the papers were very much
mussed, as if they had been taken from the

n The spirit of the James boys is still abroad
in Missouri; but the citizens are a little too
prompt for the depredatOrs. Last week, in broad
daylight, band of masked men entered the
town Brookfeld, and robbed the bank. The rob-
bers were pursued, surrounded, and caught.
They turn out TO be the sons of citizens in good
standing On Sunday, two colored men robbed
the depots at Utica and Chillicothe, shooting
and wounding the telegraph operator. They
were also caught, and will probably be lynched.
The bank robbers, being high-toned white men,
will not only not be lynched, but their friends
have the impudence to threaten those who cap
tured them. Here is a chance for Gov Critten-
den to apply a touch of his summary Justice.
