buchanan, the first bachelor president
had quite n brilliant administration,
socially. His niece, Harriet Lane, was
i'm many respects a magnificent woman.
Her appearance was striking and her
manner winning. intellectually she
was very strong, and she presided over
her uncle's household with a dignity and
grace that has handed her name down
To pOsterity as one Of the best female
characters ever in the White House.
She has seen great sorrow since those
Gays. Her uncle, whom she loved as a
father, has passed away. and her two
little boys, 10 and II. the fruit of heI
happy marriage. have both died within
the last three years. Her husband also
departed this life suddenly within the
last year, and the brilliant mistress Of
the White House Of little more than
n quarter of century ago is a childless
widow.

Our good and great ex-governor OF
Kansas can not be charged with cow
ardice, no matter what else may be laid
up against him. Lately, in answer to
the many charges made against him by
the republicans, he wrote a letter to a
friend in Bloomington, Ills, in which he
says:
The whole story of the republican
papers that 1 at any time in my life
ever directly or indirectly proposed to
sell out the republican, democratic or
any other particular party or organiza-
ton, is simply one of the many infa-
nous and malicious lies for which the
republican press during the campaign
just closed has been noted. If had
desired TO have sold my principles for
money or. Office / could have done SO
years ago, and would not have waited
to have negotiated with party that is
morally and financially bankrupted. In
the late campaign the national prohibi-
ton party betrayed my expenses, and
gave to the cause my time and lator
without money and without price.
am to-day, and always have been COM
paratively poor man-tOo poor to be
bought. Tie republican party may
burn me in effigy and continue its
threats OF personal violence. 1t may
open its flOOd-gates of falsehOOd and vii
LITIGATION and bitterness upon me, but il
can never swerve me one jot or title
from what my conscience tells me is
right
The campaign of 1888 has already
begun, and the warfare against the
liquor traffic will be vigorously prOsecu-
ted, and the political party that stands
in the way of the movement of the peo-
pie will get hurt. The spirit of intol-
erance exhibited by the republican
press to-day is doing for that party just
what the same spirit did for the pro-
slavery party thirty years ago. Hang
ing men in effigy and indulging in false
hood and villification is not an argu-
ment, nor will it in this day and age of
free schools. christian homes and free
men persuade anybody or cause any one
to abandon their principles at the die
tation of any political party"

In Atchison county the taxpayers met
last week and after making a terrible
fuss over the high taxes they have to
pay, poured all kinds Of abuse on the
board Of county commissioners and re-
quested that body to resign. This action
was by the county taxpayers. A few
days afterwards, the entire city council
and the mayor OF the city Of Atchison
were arrested by order Of the United
states circuit court and taken by the
marshal TO Topeka, they having neg
lected to levy tax to pay bonds and
interest due by tho city. SO it does APP
pear that public officials have n hard

He goelb forth in the morning war

in one rsund and two seconds.
In the midst of life he is in debt,
and the tax collector pursueth him
wherever he gocfh.
The banister Of life is full Of splin-
ters and he slideth down with consid-
cradle rapidity.
He walkelh forth IN the bright sun
LIGHT to absorb ozone, and meetcth the
bank teller with sight draft for 1857.
He comcth home at eveniidc and
mecteth the @heelharrow in his path,
ani the wheclbarrow riseth up and
smiielh him to the earth. and falleth
upon him, and runneth one OF his legs
ialo his car.
In the gentle Srngtime he putteth
on his Summer clothes. and a blizzard
strikelh him far away from home, and
filleih him with woe and rheumatism.
He layeth mp treasure in the bank !,
and the cashier speculateth ia margins
and then goeth to Canada for his
health.
In the Autumn he putteth on his
Winter trousers, and Il wasp that
abdeth in them filleth himself with
intense excitement.
He sitieih up all night to get the
returns from Ohio, and in the end
learneih that the other fellow has car

He buyeth a watch dog, and when

him and stitch beneath him until rosy
