Ringing Resolutions.

The following resolutions were adopt
cd at the recent state Christian Sunday
school convention at Topeka:
Resolved, first, That the Christian
brotherhood OF this state, in its growth
and prosperity, depends, first, upon the
protecting care and blessings of Al
mighty God, which care and blessing
will only come to US as we do our whole
duty in forwarding His interests among
men second, that upon the Sunday school
work depends largely the welfare and
prosperity of the church, and we should
at this cOnYention place that work upon
u secure AMI permanent basis, 30 as to
secure Its steady growth.
SecOnd-That IN view of this large
and enthusiastic convention, We do most
heartily commend the purpose of separat-
ing the Sunday school from the Mis-
siOnsry convention as to time of meet
ing, and advocate putting it before the
people on its merits.
Third-That we believe it TO be the
sentiment of the Sunday school workers
of this state that Sunday school evan
gelist be at once put IN the field, whose
entire time an attention shall be given
to the Sunday school work.
Forth-That we advocate and endorse
only the introduction OF such Sunday
school literature as comes from the
Offices of the Standard, Christian Evan
gelist and other like pure fountains.
Fifth-That We, as Christian broth
erhood, are in favor of constitutional
prohibition as the settled policy in the
safe OF Kansas, and We are therefore
opposed TO the re-submission of that
question to the people; tn at we will aid
IN the honest enforcement of the law in
our various localities and will give our
voice and vote only in favor of those
who will sustain the constitution and
laws; that We are in favor of special ed

In the public schools, on the subject OF

The Wall Street Estimate of Gen. Gran,


New York sun.
"How did 1t happen" asks the New
York Times, that the Marine Bank
trusted Ward with millions OF dollars ?''
Simply because the president OF the
Marine Bank thought the firm of Grant
| U Ward was making enormous amounts
| OF money out OF government contracts
secretly obtained through the Influence
of Gen. Grant
This explain ttinn has been offered BY
Capt. AmbrOse Snow, one of the direc-
tors of the bank. We quote these
| words:
"Ward told him the story about gov
eminent contracts, and he believed it
and lett all to Ward. Fish had his real
estate TO look after, and he relied on the
government contracts, which he suppos-
ed were obtained through Gen. Grants
influence"
The supposItion that the gold mine of
the firm consisted in government con
tracts procured through the influence of
Gen. Grant was entertained not only by
Mr.. Fish, himself q partner in the firm,
but by the customers also.
Mr. Work, one of the counsel of the
concern, is a notable example. "He had
seen the books of the firm" says the
Tribune, "in which the records of the
prof1Is on the supposiiitious contract
was kept, and knew that vast sums were
being Ieaped. These books Rwere con
elusive arguments in more cases than
one 10 persons who were solicited to in
vest their money with Grant s. Ward. :"
In fact. Wall street bit eagerly at the
bait OF official corruption which Grant
s. Ward held out.
verybOdy knew that any exercise o..
| Influence which would put enormous
| profits out Of government contracts into
the pockets of Ulysses Grant would
he grossly improper, if not criminal.
Yet hundreds, not to say thousands, of
intelligent people seem to have assumed
that Gen. Grant was q man who would
th-ds prostitute his influence for the sake
OF gain. They entertained no doubt
that he vas willing to do wrong, and
they rushed in with their money TO OBJ
tain a share in the fruits of his wrong
dong.
Such is the shameful estimate which
Wall street formed of Gen. Grant. He
was believed TO be willing to make
money out Of the national treasury by
improper means. HIS friends, Fish and
Work, rated his character no higher in
this respect than comparative strangers.
So long as they regard him in the light
they did, it was not strange that others
should share their belief.
We are now assured that this belief
was incorrec', and that Gen. Grant had
no knowledge or suspicion of the uses
to which his name was being put.
If such is the fact, Gen. Grant will do
well to publish the evidence on the sub.
| ject without delay.

1.-THE Progress of Fish Culture" is
set forth in the April Century by Fred
Mather, who describes as follows the
method of marking fish: ''In the mode
of obtaining salmon eggs, a great step
in advance was made by Mr.. Atkins,
on the Penobscot, when. instead of de-
pending on the &C idenial Capture of
salmon with ripe eggs, he found that
he could keep the fish in pens, in fresh
water; Until their spawn ripcned. and
thus could obtain hundred-fold more
than had been got before. At Bucks
port Maine, after the eggs are taken
from the salmon. a metal tag with a
number on it is attached to the poster
ior part of the dorsal fin. A record is
kept of the sex, length, and weight of
each fish, and the date of its liberation,
thereby showing what growth is made
up to the time of their second capture.
A reward is offered for the. return of
these tags accompanied by statements
of the time and place of capture, the
weight of the fish, and other informa-
ton. A female salmon, liberated at
Bucksport, November 10. 1875, which
weighed sixteen pounds after spawn
ing, was captured two years later, and
was found TO have grown foot in
length. and to have increased eight
and half pounds in weight. Mr.
auckland also markell salmon by
punching holes in the second dorsal fin
with conductors punch, but we have
no records OF their III! qGcnt capture
and rate of growth"

The Bu.ies, Place in Chicago

Any person who visits the advertising
agency of Lord s. Thomas, Mccormick
block, will not doubt that they are trans
acting an immense business with the
newspapers OF the country A thorough
knowledge of their business coupled
with energy and liberal use of their
own medicine has placed them in the
front rank of advertising agencies in
the United States
We will not state the exact amount,
but We will say that during the past few
weeks they have CLOSED contracts which
will aggregate hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and this business has been Sc
cured in competition with the eastern

Sound Advice from Col. JnO A. Martin

n,
Atchisou Champion.
The Champion predicted in good sea-
son that the attempts 10 evade the oper-
alton OF the liquor law in Topeka would
result disastrOusly to parties engaged In
it. The predictions have been abund-
antly fulfilled. The Idaho Mining and
Prospecting Company" came to grief at
once. Boyd aud Ragsdale, the mana
gers, were fined. They thought to get
out OF paying their fines, and Judge
Martin has committed them to Jail to.

named MOeser.
1t Is no joke to go t. Jail. To he
shut up with the horse thieves, murderers
and the like would be pretty hard to
bear, we should tkink, where the I'M
prisoned party was conscious of inno-
cence, anu there certainly can be little
consolation to a man in thinking that he
is in Jail simply because he GciH sell
whisky, when he can get his living In a
thousand other ways and keep out OF
Jail.
What has happened IN Topeka will,
sooner or later, happen in AtchIson. Ii

MORE DAVIS SALES

The Sewing Machine the People Buy.
One OF the first questions which sug-
gesis itself to the careful buyer, after
having seen the merits OF the new verti-
cal feed Davis sewing machine is, Has it
been tried, and II 50, what do those who
have used il say OF it.
Acknowledging the business of such
Inquiries and commenting the prudence
that prompts them, we take pleasure In
referring TO the following parties to
whom we have recently sold the New
Davis machine IN this vicinity, and
could we afford ihe space we would
gladly print the many fiattering testimo-
malls and commentators we get every
day from our customers:
Il s. Mears, railroad man.
VIM. II. PulTer,
j. N. Schooley, laborer.
Capt Neal Curry, dairyman.
James Braodfoot, farmer.
RObt. Irwin,
Rev. J. Van Voorhees,.
s. II. Rich, coal dealer.
Kemp Scott, railroad man.
u Moore, painter.
j. w. Lyons, carpenter.
John Patterson, hotel keeper.
Miss Lizzie Holdermau.
Z. Perlsy.
II. V. Bundrem
q. w. Jones, farmer.
w. 3. Luther, Park Place hotel.
j. Fl. Davis, liverYman
Charles West, railroad.
The fSst that nearly two-thirds of our
patrons previously owned some Other
make Of machine, which they have put
aside for the New Davis, is, we think
good evidence that the new vertical
feed principle is decidedly the best anG
most useful for family sewing ma
