ing of shots into the Office with the evi-
dent intention of assassinating the
superintendent, Col. H. M Greene.
The superintendent with the officers of
the institution were first awakened by
the breaking of glass in the Office, awak-
ening all, and upon rising found the COZ
ner OF the building IN flames. The wa
ter hose of the building was brought into
play promptly by experienced hands and
the flames were soon under control, but
not until considerable damage was done.

rushed into the office with lighted
lamp, whereupon he was at once saluted
by three shots in rapid succession, the
last grazing his cheek, and upon the re-
ception of which he quickly extlnguish-
cd the light in his hands and rushed out
with an assistant. Chase was given 10

In PottawOsomie county the liquor
sellers have experienced rebuff against
their personal liberalitiss," which
means from thei. stand point the right
to violate law with impunity, which
ought to make them both wiser and bet
ter men. The prosecutions lately
brought before Judge Martins district
court, appear to have been entirely sue
cessful, and the sums assessed in fines
and costs foot up nearly $11, 600. This
will decrease the profits on good deal
of bad whisky, and ought to convince
the dealers that 1t does not really pay to
be Violater of the law.

The Congress Of Farmers which has
just been in session at Louisville has In
dictated a desire that the commissioner
of agriculture should have . seat in the
cabinet. Last year, when the house
passed bill making this change, Mr..
NImmo, chief of the bureau Of statis-
tics. objected to It on these grounds
First, that IL would create an executive
department, with no executive func-
tons, and having the simple bureau oc-
cnpation Of furnishing Information
secondly, that no additional information
would be gained by making the CON-
missioner cabinet officer thirdly, that
the geological survey and bureau Of
education already do portion Of the
work proposed for the new cabinet on
cor; finally, that the present bureaus
specialists In agriculture would have 10
turn their attention to subjects not con-
nected with agriculture. The senate
did not pass ehe house bill, and these
and other objections should be answered
before the proposed change is At

a Plea for such an Instituslon Forw


ed to Senator Plumb.
Fir. ScoTT, Kas., Dec. I0.-Thh petit
tion previously mentioned in the dis
patches as being prepared, asking con-
gress to establish soldiers home in
Kansas, has been completed and was
forwarded 10 Senator Plumb to-day 1t
contains 10000 names and is handsome
IL bound, making book as large as
Webster's dictionary. The following
memorial appears, handsomely printed,
at the beginning of the petition:
To the Honorable the Members OF the Senate
Assembled:
We, your petitioners, representing
every regiment of all arms, artillery,
cavalry and infantry, and every man of
war that participated in the defense of
our country during the war of the re-
bslaiOn, 100 600 ex soldiers and sailors
now residing in the state of Kansas, and
hundreds of thousands at present in
Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas. Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Iowa and the IudIan
Ter ritory, set forth the fact that hum
dreds OF our former comrades in arms,
disabled by wounds received and dis
eases contracted while in the service of

condition, dependent upon the
burden to those whom they
should support, or upon the charity they,
cannot accept without humiliation,
for the simplest necessaries of life,
many of these men by reason of the
length of time which has escaped, the
loss of important papers or the death of
those who could have furnished the
necessary proofs, cannot establish their
right TO q pension, and if they could the
character of the original inquiry would
entitle them 90 pittance so small as
TO furnish no adequate relief, the influ-
ence of time, toll and pain upOn the
system, weakened by wounds received
or disease contracted in the service
being not considerded in the award
As an example, we cite to the case of
Greenville Mead late private of company
F. 18th infantry of Fort GIL, recently
deceased after twenty years OF suffer
ings, and six years of entire helpless
ness, during which he was confined TO
the house, wholly dependent on the
labor of his wife. He died in real pow
erty, and the day after his death the
notice came tibet he had been granted a
pension of 81 per month. Such cases
might be multiplied by hundreds
throughout the western country. We
send you this appeal the more cheerful
~ because we know you are not stran-
gers to the facts set forth, and ii the past
congress has recognized the right of the
soldier and sailor who barred his breast
for his country IN the services rendered
and the injuries received We have seen
with pleasure the order of the secretary
of war providing shelter and food for a
mule that was worn out IN the public
service, and know that every true man
will say the soldiers who from the eff.
fects of disease contracted in the prison
pens of the south and the campaigns of
the war, or the injury resulting from
wounds, and who are no longer able to
work, are justly entitled to shelter and
food for themselves, whose helplessness
render them silent and whose love of
country seals their lips against COM

CIVIL GOHERNNENT FOR

@AA@AOAA ~"
In his message the pTesident has
called attention TO the lOng-continued
omission Of congress TO provide any ad-
equate civil government for the terri
tory Of Alaska. He points ont the fact
which we believe has not heretofore
been publicly noticed, that this omission
involves q neglect OF the treaty obliga
tons ofthe United States. BY the con-
vention Of March so. 1857, for the ces-
SION to this country Of the Russian
possessions in America, 1t was expressly
provided thst the Inhabitants of the
ceded territory, with the exception OF
uncivIlized native tribes. should be ad-
mitted 10 the enjoyment OF all the rights,
advantages, and immunItIes of citizens
Of the United States. and should be
maintained and protected In the free en-
joYment OF their liberty, property and
religion.
Notwithstanding this treaty stipuIs-
ton, the president tells US that the in
hAbitants Of Alaska have ''nO law for the
SOAAOOSAOAA Va 0ODSop Sa4O 00RkJOIS va O4a-
cation, the conveyance of prop
erty. the administration OF es-
tates, or the enforcement OF contracts;
none. indeed, for the punishment Of
criminals, except such as offend against
certain customs, commerce, and uAVi-
cation Acts."
In order TO perform our agreement and
deal Justly with the people of thisspsr
y inhabited but important region, 1t Is
not necessary 10 organize an expensive
scheme Of government It should be
simple, economical, and efficient. A
governor, sjudgs and mArshsl ought
TO suffice for the principAl offices. The
president might be authorized 70 ap-
point q governor from among the retired
officers Of the army or navy. There
probably would not be much cOmpeti-
ton for the place. as few persons are
anxious TO live in q climate where 1t
rains more than half the time.
Some suitable system Of civil govern
meOt should be provided without delay.
