" For Cause. =

Early in The session, Gov Click re-appointed
W W. Guthrie a Director of the Penitentiary,
and the nomination Was confirmed Last week,
he sent in the nomination of Albert Perry, of
TIoy, fcr the same position, in place of W. W.
Guthrie, "removed for csuse," and Mr.. PerTy's
nomination was confirmed. The "cause" was
not stated, hut the transaction gives Mr.. Guth-
rie an opportunity to play the role of martyr.
His interviews with newspaper reporters, and
his cards in the papers, are affording a pretty
good clue TO the .'cause;" and these, with un-
official iaets and eorrOboratiye circumstances,
give one pretty good idea of the situation.
Ii appears that Mr. Guthrie attempted to take
advantage Of the situation TO run the Peniten-
tiary Board in his own interest, and to slap Gov.
Click in the face /; is well known that the
Methods; Church in Kansas, through its elders,
preachers and leaders, has, for the past two or
three years, dropped religion, and operated as
political machine. DHring the last campaign,
these political preachers bummed almost inces-
sanity for st. John, and denounced Click. When
Click became Governor, he determined that
these men should have no favors from him. But
Guthrie, who still has an itching for Congress-
determined to make use Of this political ma
chine, the Methodist church. to boost himself n
He Therefore, taking advantage of his temporary
power in the Board, appointed Elder Wake, the
most blatant and obnoxious of all the political
preachers. Chaplain of the Penitentiary. Click
protested, and asked him TO wait until the Board
was full but Guthrie Was determined TO play
his hand, and persisted in the appointment. 1t
seems, from what he says, that Wake was an
applicant for the place. His eagerness to COM
ply with the request, shows that he had more
than ordinary interest in the matter. The up
shot was, that the Governor removed him. But
Guthrie has made all the capital out of it that
he possibly could, and can now appeal for the
support of the Methodist church. because he was
made martyr iu their cause.
1t is now charged that Click Intends placing
the penitentaTy in the hands of the Leaven-
worth Democracy, and in his own interest. We
would like TO know if this would be any worse
than it has been heretofore' The penitentiary
was run i'll the interest of St. JOhn-Warlen,
Chaplain, and all; aud Mr.. Guthrie intended to
run it in his own interest. Why has not Gov.
Click a right to do the same thingi

Take WarninRi

We often admit neighborhood items into cur
columns, written by young people, even though
a great deal of it is commonplace or childish
gossip, for the purpose of encouraging boys and
girls in the habit of writing, aud give them op-
portunity to improve. We know of several who
have become frst-class itemizers, who begun in
this way. But what we desire, is to warn our
yonng correspondents against certain terms and
forms Of expression, or trying to ape the loady
style Of fashionable city papers. There is no ex-
cuse for old correspondents falling into such
ways, and after sufficient warning, there will be
no excuse for Young writer's. There are words
and expressions that we have absolutely banish-
ed from these columns, and others which VIC
sometimes admit, in pinch, but which we shall
soon shut the door against altogether. Here are
a few of them:
'Milch" COW, when speaking of a milk COW,
can never get into these columns, if we are
about, and have our senses; and the person who
SO writes it, ineurs our deadly enmity.
The writer who, in speaking of two or more
married ladies, calls them "a .'Mesdames," would
rob hen-roost, and We wouldn't hesitate TO
shoot him on the spot
We will not countenance q writer who, in
speaking of a married lady, and wishing TO give
her maiden name also says Mrs. Brown, "Rce"
Jones.
If any writer, speaking Of bill of fare or the
grub set up at any meal, calls it " Menr," We
shall club him at sight.
Any person who writes us, proposing to give
"resHme" of certain events, may as well not
spoil his paper, and waste his time. ink, and
postage.
Those who wish to describe dance or party,
will take notice that "wee, sma' bOurs," "trip
the light, fantastic toe," and "all went merry as
a marriage bell" are completely worn out, and
Indicate that the writer has not sufficient brains

COMING 70 ROOsT.-A question has arisen

paper in New York, who has been implicated by
witnesses as having had hand in the eonspira-

This is the legitimate result of the rawlings Of
men Of the ODonovan Rosa stripe. Some of
our Irish friends, couple of years ago, took it
rather unEindly because advised them to re-
pudiste assassins of that stripe. They regarded
1t as an insinuatiOn that they were suspected of
favoring assassination. We did not suspect the
Irishmen Of Doniphan County Of any such thing,
but We saw how very easy it would he to allow
themselves 10 be excited and led ont of the
straight path by snch unprincipled agitators.
Even some Of the speakers at that meeting, by
their incorporate and incendiary language, just
flied the advice We gave. This last affair shows
what these men were aiming at, and what they
would lead the Irish people into if they could.
They think it the perfection Of strategy to organ
ize raids in this country for the invasion of the
soil Of England, with whom we arc at peace.
