A VALUABLE GRAPHIC.

The Harper Graphic of last week.
issued in a six-page form, on fine cal
endcred paper, printed with fine ink
and illustrated with cuts executed in
the highest style of the art, lies before
us. What the paper is in name the
paper before us is in fact, graphic in
description, and graphic in illustration
of all that pertains TO the growth,
wealth and general prosperity and de-
STABILITY of that expanding city and
glorious county. Probably no finer
emigration edition was ever issued in
the State of Kansas, and its value to
the city and county at largr cannot be
estimated. Such editions mean infinite
pains, great labor and poor pay, that
is poor pay directly and Immediately
TO the publisher, but big pay TO the
city and county The EAGLE in the
past by its emigration editions
brought thousands of people 10 this
valley, there fore we know. This
beautiful and instructive number OF
the Graphic tells us among thousand
other things that the city Of Harper
has 2 800 people and that 255 buildings
were erected last year. We congratu-
late the people of Harper aud the BUSH
ness men of that city ON such enter
prise and Mr. c. s. Finch of the Graphic
on his pluck and taste.

THE SUPREME COURT sTRAooieRs.

II looks as if the supreme court oil
the state had doubled itself up, now
that Governor Click has gone into the
pardon business. From the way the
action of the executise-supreme was
received by the people of Kansas, the
judicial-supreme seems to have con-
cluded that in the Salina and other
cases they nave been little too
sweepingly radical, and that therefore
a judicial tack might catch more Of the
popular breeze.
Two places are to fill this fall on the
Supreme bench, hence why may not
that explanation elucidate somewhat
the late trepidation? We don't be-
lieve anybody will deny that the past
decisions of the supreme court were
not only very radical on this question,
but that they went outside of points
ruised to tell the people what the court
thought about matters and things in
general touching the powers and
duties of officers, and what they would
hold as sound law. We are no law
yer, but that is the way it struck us.

REGULAR BUNS.

Our esteemed friend General Rice,
Of the Fort Scott Monitor, is inclined
to look upon the late decision of the
supreme court ns one not tending to
affect the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton law, very, materially. All we
have to say is, then the average wit.
ness and county attorneys must make
up their minds to down no little bulge
before they can become either compe-
tent witnesses or effective prosecu-
tors. Under that decision they must
take the spleen. themselves and be
able to swear just to the particular
name it goes by. That new race of
drunkards be not developed, we sug-
gest that the temperance committees
employ regular old buns, who would
not only know where to go, but who
couldn't be fooled as to the particular
brand of the juice sold and drank.
Look again, General. The decision in
effect says the witness or the attorney
must know sure enough to swear to it.

A BlOWHARO,

The chief sachem of Tammany, Mr.
John Kelly, is a blowhard of The com.
monest type. He can, through his or.
ganizatioD, bully and control sixty or
seventy thousand ignorant voters and
SO far is a power TO be dreaded, but he
is anything but invaluable when il
comes to political Judgment. He de-
clared four years ago that Hancock
would be elected and that he would
receive the united Democratic vote OF
New York, and the truth is Hancock's
vote was below that of Tildcn's. And
it is not SO certain that Kelly can
longer control his sixty thousand
votes, a large proportion of whom are
lrishmen, and who will vote for
Blaine o against any man the Demo
cracy can put up, if we except Ben
Butler. If the Democrats in Chicago
allow Kelly TO bull-doze them they are
simply cowardly and weak.

northwestern quarter Of the state get

several considerations that we might

the SIGNING OF THE DECLARATION.

In thinking Of that instrument, one
is apt to call up before him an august
assemblage gravely seated around o
table, with the declaration spread out
upon it, and each member of the con-
tinental congress. in turn taking up a
pen and with great dignity affixing to il
his name. Nothing, however, can be
further from that which actually took
plane. Very few of the delegates, il
indeed any signed The original docu.
ment on the 4th, and none signed the
present one now in Independence hall
for The very good reason that ii was
not then in existence.
On July 10, congress voted that the
declaration be engl ossed on parch-
ment. Jefferson, however, says that
New York signed on July Is. Con-
sequently New York must have sign
ed the original copy of the declara-
tion before il had gone into the hands
of the engrosser. On what day the
work was done by the copyist is not
known. All that is certainly known
is that on the I'd of August
congress had the document
in existence now in Inde-
pendcnce Hall. II is on parchment, or
something that the trade calls parcll-
ment. On that day august p it was
signed by all the members present
The original declaration is lost, or
rather was purposely destroyed by
congress. All the signatures were
made anew. When the business of
signing was ended is not known. One
Matthew Thornton, from New
Hampshire, signed it in Novcm-
Der, when he became men,
Der for the first time; and
Thomas Mexican, from Delaware, as
says himself did not return till Janu-
airy, I777. Indeed, this signing was,
in effect, what at the present day
would be called ''test oath" The
principles of many of the new dele
gates coming into congress from the
different states were not known with
of them might be
Tories in disguise-aid thus each one
was required on first entering con-
gress to sign the Declaration. In

fact which may have put stop TO the
business of singing. II shows, how
ever, the little Importance which was
attached to this ceremony, that Robert
X. Livingston was. one "f the commit
lee of five that reported the Drclara-
lion, and yet did not sign il. unless
his signature is lost with the original
document.
The truth is, the Declaration of In

CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY.

The following is the order in which
the original thirteen states adopted
the constitution Of the United States.
According to provision in the con
stitution. it became binding on the
states raiify:ug it when adopted by
nine states. New Hampshire was In,
important ninth state:
l. Delaware, December z, 1887
2. Pennsylvania, December IL, 1887.
3. New Jersey, December Is, 1897.
4. Georgia, January 2, 1888.
3. Connecticut, Jan. 9, 1888.
6. Massachusetts,, Feb. z. 1888.
Z. Maryland, April %, 1888.
8. South Carolina, May 2S, 1888.
8. New Hampshire, June 81, 1888.
10. Virginia, June 25, 1888.
II. New York, July &c, 1888.
IL. North Carolina, Nov. =, 1889.
IS. Rhode Island, May %, 1890.
The convention of Delaware met,
adopted the constitution unanimously,
and adjourned in a single day.
The convention of PENNSYLVANIA
adopted the constitution by q vote of
46 yeas TO % NAYS.
vi NEW JeTseN
adopted the constitution unanimously.
The convention of Massachusetts
was composed of about $50 members,
and when it met it was opposed to
the constitution. The ina
jority for IFS ratification was only
nineteen votes.
When the convention of New York
met, the opponents of the constitution
were about two-thirds of the whole
body. Alexander Hamilton's logic
and eloquence secured majority for
it.
North Carolina remained out of the
Union for more than eight months
after the new government went into
operation. The convention met and
adopted RESOLUTIONS that bill of
rights and certain amendments ought
10 be laid before congress, and the
tibet might be called for
the constitution previous to
its ratification by the state of North
Carolina" and the convention was
then dissolved.
Rhode Island remained out of the
Union for upward of thirteen months.
The general assembly, instead of call
ing a convention to consider the con-
'titution, referred that instrument to
4 direct vote Of the people at their
IOwn meetings. Only 232 voted for
he adoption of the constitution, and
, ,708 voted against II.
Subsequently the legislature called
the governor giving the
:asting vote for So doing in the small
ut branch of the legislature. The con-
Tention adopted the constitution by a
majority of only two votes, the yeas
Deino 81. and the NAYS 80.
