pared with this swindle and steal the
inyasions by Quantrell and his gang
were small affairs, when the wealth of
the two invaded sections is taken into
consideration.
And then compare the circumstances
under which the rUbberies occurred.
The border raids were made when grim
visaged war was demanding blood, fire,
murder and destruction. The perpe-
traitors were not citizens Of Kansas, and
they pretended TO be working under
that old order that everything is fair
in war"
The Barber county rascality was COM
mitted when peace was lowering over
our united and happy land. The per-
petratOrs were citizens of Kansas, and
not only this, but they were bright and
shining lights in the party then and
now in power in Kansas-we refer to
the republican party. Our people were
as helpless in making resistance as
were the citizens of Lawrence when
that town was raided.
We say that Barber county should be
reimbursed for the great loss il has al
ready sustained, and for the thousands
Of dollars the courts have ordered our
people to pay in the future.
When Barber county has been prop
erly provided for by generous legisla-
ture, then we have a similar case to
present for the good people Of Conan
che county.

Bradstreet's commercial agency, in its
report for the week ending last Satur-
day, does not give cheerful view of the
financial outlook, by any means. Over
production and decreased demand ap-
pears to be the source of trouble. TIE
eastern manufactures are not doing
well, and the suspensions, while not
astOnishingly frequent, are neverthel, IS
occurring. The labor complicai)
the strikes, are becoming more frequent
and before spring opens there will pre- b.
ably be serious trouble, as there is a
disposition everywhere in the manufac-
turing districts to cut down wages, five
and ten cents being the usual cuts on he
waves Of day labOrers.
The west is more fortunate than any
other section, just now, and viii not d.
rectly experience the prevailing hard
times as much as the east and south.

Editor Marsh Murdoch, of the Wich-
tia Eagle, at one time a state senator,
tells something about the names of the
western counties in Kansas, in the fol-
lowing article:
During the winter of 1872 the Kansas
house passed bill defining the bound
aries and naming all the counties in the
western half of the state. In the house
the same spirit of buncombe prevailed
alluded to above. They named thirty
or forty counties after living Kansas
statesmen(N. There were Plumb, Has
kell, ingalls,, Stotler, Martin, Anthony,
Murdoch, and we don't know how many
Others. When the bill reached the SEN
ate the writer of this protested against
such inexcusable and vainglorious fool
ishness. suggesting that half of the men
for whom the counties were named
might land in the pen;tentiary. The
suggestion took. and Senator Snoddy, if
we remember rightly, moved that the
whole matter be referred to a special
committee consisting Of three senators
who represented the territory named,
with tue writer as chairman, the other
two members being Senator Edwards
of Ellis and Senator Barker of Jewell.
| The counties were named for Indian
tribes and soldiers in the main. What
is now Fnney county, was named for
! the man who invented the Creek alpha
bet. learned Indian whom senator
Edwards had known. He had spent
most OF his life in the territory of which
Kansas was formed, and it was fool
move the wiplng out of Sequoyah and
substituting Finney. The last county
named was the one falling in the ex-
srese southwest corner of the state,
which was among the counties Ieft for
the writer To name. We called it 'Kaw, ,
for the tribe of Indians formerly located
in Morris county, and for which tribe
the state was named. The clerk of the
committee got it kansas"
We hope the coming legislature will
restore "SequOyah" and the names and
boundaries of Clark, Mead, Comanche,
and all the balance, and wipe out ''St.

Since the republicans have realized
that their only hope for thwarting the
contemplated reforms which President
G eveland will surely inaugurate, lies in
keeping control Of the upper house Of
the national legislature, they have sud
denly discovered that Dakota Territory
should be admitted as a state into the
union, and not only this. but they want
that Territory divided, that 10y one
knock they can have two states adj
mitted. That would give them four
senators and at least two members of
the lower house. Dakota's population
is largely republican in politics, so il is
plain to be seen that this proposed adj
mission is a fine republican scheme;
hut IL won't work. To use a slang.
though expressive word, the democrats
are "On!''-that is they are up TO the
"racket''-they understand.

A feature of the national bank ques-
/ n is beginning to attract attention.
The charters of 6+s, or nearly One-forth
of all the national banks will expire dur
ing the six months between the 1st of
January and the Both Of June. These
6iS banks have circulation of nearly
one hundred millions. There are in the
state of New York alone l5l banks, the
charters of which will expire during the
next six month";, and during that time
the charters Of 81 Of the "a New York
city banks, having n circulation of over
ten millions will expire. While it is
probable that three-fourths of these
banks will renew their charters, it is
expected that many OF them will. in
cffecting the renewal, reduce their
circulation.

Washington Dispatch: Since his ar
rival here James G.. Blaine, the histor-
ian, has been indulging in campaign
"reminiscences. One of his favorite sto-
ries is that he has proof showing that
Senator German of the democratic nat
ional committee was instrumental in
having Burehard deliver the Rum, Ro-
manism and Rebellion" speech. Blain's
friends say that he is really serious in
making this declaration. Blaine has
entered upon the festivities of the sea-
son, and is attending dinner parties and
receptions. The belief prevails that he
will do whatever in him lies to thwart
President Arthur in his commercial
treaty policy, Notwithstanding the fact
that during the recent campaign, Blaine
himself frequently and broadly intima-
bed that he was in favor OF this method
Of enlarging the commerce of the Uni
ted States with Spanish-American coun-
tries.

Secretary McCulloch in his report re-
fers to the present stagnation in bust
ness and charges it chiefly TO the fact
that our manufacturing Industries have
outgrown the consuming capacity Of the
country, and that we have no foreign
markets for our surplus owing to
our distinctly protectively protec-
tive policy. This being the case,
the question of how our foreign
trade shall be increased he regards as
the most mOmentous question of the
present. He recommends the appoint
ment of commission composed of men
not welded TO the doctrines of free trade
or prottction--menw who are fairminded
and level headed, and who would prose-
cute the inquiry thoroughly. compre-
hensively and impaItially. This COM
mission, he argues, should be appointed
without delay and should be composed
of members of the newly elected House
of Representatives. The commission
should in the beginning of its work re-
gard these two points as settled; first,
that the public revenues are not TO be in
excess Of what may be required for the
support of its government and the grad
ual reduction of the public debt; second,
that our manufacturers which under
the fostering care of the government
have attained such gigantic proportions
and whose prosperity is essential to the
Welfare of all other interests are not IN
be put in jeopardy by radical and sweep
ing changes in the tariff and that all re-
auctions Of import duties should be
made with a view to their ultimane adj
vantages by opening to them the mar
kets from which they are now in a large
degree excluded.
And for these views, indicating a
free-trade preference, the republican
senate refuses to confirm the appoint
ment of the secretary to the position he
now holds.

PRnHIRIrInN AGAIN

A correspondent, claiming to be well
posted, has figured on the standing of
the Legislature, on the question Of pro-
hibition, with the following result: He
figures that the senate will stand for
resubmissiOn s, against resubmission
20, unknown Q. The house will stand,
for, 81, against T5, unknown %. Totals,
for 20, against 10I, unknown So.
So it wonld appear, that there Is
hardly any probability of the question
being resubmitted to the people.
And right here we predict that unless
the coming general assembly does re-
submit the question that there will be
more trouble over this troublesome
question in 1886 than ever before.
From a political standpoint, it will be
to the advantage Of democrats If the
prohibition question is not settled in
Kansas for years to come; but We are
frank to say that it would be to the best
interests of the state to have the liquor
question settled for all time to come,
and that, too, as soon as possible. The
saloons are increasing in numbers, and
beyond contributing occasionally to a
city government, the citizens of the
state derive not a particle of benefit
from them. The state and the counties
must pay the costs in criminal cases,
while the cities pocket the only money
in tho shape Of license or revenue that
these saloons pay in the way Of fines
or not exactly fines either, for the money
the saloons pay is more in the nature Of
