Dislike of This Country.

The London Times has q long leading article
upon the Lasker incident. II says: sat last
Prince Bismarck has obtained an opportunity
to show his dislike of the country which annu-
ally robs him Of thousands OF conscripts. Con-
gress was ill.advised In sending the resolu
tioni Prince Bismarck was ungracious In re-
turning It, Granting, however, that Prince
Bismarck was right In refusing TO praise Herr
Laeker, his organs are wrong In reviling MIN.
lister Sargent. The latter was only obeying
should be held up. IN defiance OF international
courtesy and almost Of International law, to
the contempt OF the German people, II Is
said that Mr.. Sargent is hardly careful enough
Of forms and ceremonies TO please a court so
formal as Berlin. But worse moment TO try
and Induce him to resign could hardly have
been chosen than the present, when his resig-
nation would still further strain the relations
OF the two countries, which ought TO DO on OK
cellent terms."

antwill probably be increased when he thinks
somebody else may get H."
"WoDld he make strong candidate 2"
"rhat do not know. Hitherto he has al
ways been strong at the start and has made
exceedingly good time for the first half mile,

CRANKY MAC VEAGH.

MacVeagh, of Pennsylvania, who
couldn't stay in Arthur's cabinet be-
cause of his impractical and extreme
notion, is out in an open letter TO Gen
eral Bristow. Ii was evidently writ
ten to give vent to his personal spleen
and has met with nothing but con-
aemnation. The fiercest fighters in
Mr.. Blaine's ranks speak out i'm con-
dcmnation, or are silent in shame,
and the independent and democratic
papers speak of the letter in scverest
terms. Mr.. MacVeagh's personal
friends in Philadelphia at first pro-
nounced the letter forgery, and
when it was vouchcd for the Phila-
dclphia North american said: Goth
erwisc no friend of Mr.. MacVeagh
would so far discredit him as man
of decency and sense as to lay the
burden Of the authorship of that ran
corous effiusion upon him. The SUI
preme egotism manifested through
out the letter, from the first line to
the last, is extraordinary" This is
in line with the general spirit of COM
ment of many papers friendly to other
candidates than President Arthur.
Clearly Mr.. MACY eagh hurt his own
reputation and that of no one else ..

GIVES IT UP.

The incorrigible George Martin, Of
the Junction City Union, gives it up
that everybody seems To lie for John
A. Martin, even the straight prohibs.
He says:
"a few weeks ago we stated that
Col. Martins editorial against result
mission cut him loose from the anti
prohibitionists. 1t begins to look as
though we were mistaken. In that
remarkably strong prohibition corner
of the State, Atchison, Doniphan and
Nemaha, the delegates have already
been chosen for Martin. 1t looks as
though the prohibs were to be driven
to the wall, and the sole question now
is will they even get the wind pud-
ding. In this country the Grand
Army boys, whiskyites and prohibs
alike, are all for Martin. The anti
prohibitiOnists, not belonging to the
g. A. r., are Indifferent. The wild
eyed cues seem to be quiet. We no.
tice singular circumstance in the
Atchison county convention last Mon
day. On motion of DIR. KrOhn COM
mittee on resolutions was appointed.
r. A. Vanwinkle, roaring anti-pro
hibitionist, spoke against any resolu-
tions because he didn't know what
position the grand old party would
take upon the issues Of the day. No
resolutions were reported. Delegates
were instructed for both Martin and
Horton.

BEN BUTLER AND TARIFF.

Benjamin, the cock-eycd turncOat
and the grand political topper of
America writes letter to the editor
of the Detroit Journal, last Friday, in
which he gives the following excellent
uttcrances on the tariff question:
DEAR SIR: There is so evident
good faith in your communication to
me that break custom in answering
specified questions as to my political
views on the special subject, aud per-
haps upon the subject of the tariff. |
can give them in a word, for L never
have concealed them. We cannot
have free trade in this country, how
ever desirable theoretically. it would
be. Our country is SO large and our
interests so vast, and SO much is TO be
done by the general government that
for series of years we must raise
hundreds Of millions of dollars by tax
alton of some sort The only cOnstitu-
tional taxation that | know of is di-
rect tax in proportion to the number
of inhabitants of the states. The gc-
MUS of our people will not permit o.!
that direct taxation, and therefore in
direct taxation must be rcsOrted to.
From the beginning of the govern
ment TO this time taxation by duties
on imported articles has always been
the resort of the government, except
in time of war and for limited pc
Rod. Other methods of taxation have
been tried, because the duties on i'm
ports were insufficient.
Therefore, | favor the raising of a
fficicnt amount of revenue for the
economical administration of The gov
eminent, and no more, from duties,
and no more from imports, but III
LAYING those duties to tax all articles
ofluxury up to collection point o make
free all raw materials not raised or
produced in this country, which enter
into arts and manufactures and the
actual necessaries of life as much as
possible, and to cheaper them in every
way possible, and within these limits
to so judiciously place our duties as to
best encourage and aid American Ia
Dor, and American industry. If l
could would also devote the taxes
upon whisky and tobacco to the fund
to pay the remaining debts of the war
only. to-wit: TO pensions and the
care of soldiers disabled by the war.
do not know tina: | need to make
any further statement upon this topic.

KINeMAN AND INGALLS,.

ApropOs to the letter from Senator
Ingalls, in this issue: The other day
Chief Justice Kingman in a converse
ton with us at Topeka touching the
possibility OF Wichita becoming a COM
handing city and the wonderful fer
tility of the Arkansas Valley, said that
in 1864 he and some other parties came
over ON to the Little and Big Arkan-
sas rivers for buffalo hunt. So i'm
pressed was he with the country that
he wrote description of it for the
Atchison Daily Champion, which at
the time was being edited by John J..
ingalls,. The Judge said when he re-
turned he asked Ingalls, if he had pub
lished the letter. ingalls, answered,
Eyes, but it was so cxtravagant, IN {
was compelled TO cut about half of
it out.''
Senator Ingalls, ten years afterward
visited the valley himself for the first
time, and he thought the portions of
the valley lying between Wichita and
the Territory the finest i'm the world,
and the view from Chetopah Mound
unrivaled for pastoral beauty.

two weeks ago we knew she had

she might rise to the dignity of the
half-civilized COW boy, but all in vain.

Owing to misunderstanding in regard
to finances between himself and
the B. & P. Railroad Company James M.
Andrews, who is working the Bellevue
quarry, was not able to pay his Italian
laborers their June and July wages. As
previously stated, the Italians on August
1st, supposing that their employer was
trying TO defraud them, stopped work
and created a riot. They were told that
it was impossible for them to get their
money at present, and at Mr.. Andrews
own solicitation they went before
Squire Vandegrift on that day and
obtained judgment for their wages,
amounting in all to about 81 800, their
separate claims ranging from $40 to $50.
An execution was issued and placed in
the hands Of Constable Pritohett, and the
property OF Mr.. Andrews was accordingly
advertised to be sold Thursday. The
Italians were told that the money would
be ready for them Thursday and they went
to Philadelphia to await the payment. A
few days ago certified check for 81 400
WAS paid to the constable by Andrews. On
Wednesday week the Italians were tele-
graphed not to come here Thursday as
their money would be paid them without
it, Notwithstanding this the whcle gang
came from Philadelphis Thursday morn
ing by boat and made demand upon
Constable Pfitohett for their wages. AS
all but about 1900 of their money had
been paid the constable he did not think
it advisable to sell the property as adver-
tised, but advanced the money which
was afterwards made good by Mr.. An
drews, and paid the anxious Italians the
whole amount due them. They left for
Philadelphia on the p. m. train.
