The democratic party is doing that
saline kind Of laundering" now. Sure
ly accomplishing its ends; turning the
rascals out; laying low the self-import-
ant; inaugurating common sense for
official red-tapeism; producing figures
and facts; and in thousand ways gain
ing strength.
An exchange has been keeping ac-
count Of some Of.this laundering. :" and
this is the way it figures in the matter
Of Offices alone during the last few
years:
They have held their own in the l.. S
senate.
They have changed the L. $. house Of
representatives from a republican body
Of twelve majority. TO q democratic one
Of seventy-seven majority.
They have elected democratic gov
ernor in California in place Of a repub-
lican.
They have elected democratic COVER
nor in Colorado in place Of a republican.
They have elected a democratic COVER
nor in Connecticut in place of a repub-
I lican.
They have elected democratic COVER
nor in Kansas in place Of republican.
They have elected a democratic gov
ernOr in Michigan in place Of a republic
can.
They have elected a democratic gov
ernor in Nevada in place of republl-
can.
/ They have elected q democratic gov
erHor in New York in place Of u repub
| lican.
They have elected democratic gov
ernor OF Pennsylvania i'm place Of re-
publican.
They have elected democratic gov
ernor in Ohio in place of a republican.
They have elected a democratic gov
ernor in Tennessee in place of a repub-
hcan.
Not to say anything Of the election OF
Butler in Massachusetts year ago. and
the sweeping democratic victory in Vir-
ginia few weeks ago.
IL TINS is laundering. the democrats
do not need 10 be so much alarmed
about il as the republicans.

better for the public good. These pros
ecutions have stopped the proving up on
government lands which would populate
the county and assist in paying the tax
es now such burden upon the people
1t prevents persons owning land from
borrowing money on or selling their
land when they have already, as they
believe, sufficiently complied with the
law TO entitle them to- a patent. 1t has
unsettled business to that extent that
real estate is a drug upon the market. 1t
is causing distrust, and bitter feeling
among those heretofore friends, and un-
less stopped will, in our opinion, lead TO
great trouble as well as to almost total
~ unsettle business in this part of the
country.
Our senators and members in con-
gress should be asked to introduce and,
if possible, pass law perfecting the
titles TO cash entries of government
land by individuals who have made
final proofs OF their claims prior 10 Jan.
1854. The facts in the case should be
fully set out and signed by the citizens
as well as the board of county commits
siOners, county officials and all citizens
who have the welfare and prosperity of
Southwestern Kansas at heart. Great
good may be accomplished by united
effort of.the people.

Texas cattle men are not feeling first
rate just now, and the papers report
that many Of them are bordering on
bankruptcy. Last years prices set them
wild. and believing that cattle would
continue to advance, many Of them Dor
Wwed heavily; and now the fence trou-
bles have come up. and holders of their
paper prefer money TO renewal Of the
notes. Buyers see the condition Of the
Wnchmen and are holding off from pur-
chasing, knowing that the owners must
have money soon, and that prices will
certainly drop a few points. 1t does
look that Texas cattle may be cheaper
this year.

Perhaps the first instance Of a woman
being lynched. occurred at Ouray, Colo
RADIO, last week. She and her husband
had adopted from an orphan asylum a
ten year old child, girl. and treated it
very badly. The child mysteriously
died, when an investigation followed.
The body was disinterred when one leg
was found brokon, the body covered
with cuts and badly frozen. The man
and woman were both arrested, but had
only been In confinement few hours
when mob took them from the officers
and hung them both. Good for them.
