The papers of this district who favor
the nomination of Hanback, to congress
are constantly referring to him as the
present incumbent: member Of congress
from his district &c. which In no sense
Is true. There are four other congress
men from Kansas, any one of whom are
more entitled to such recognition. john
A Anderson was cleo ed as the direc
representative CT the territory compris
ing the 9Th District having received
every delegate IN the nominating con-
vention, and a practically unanimous
election, VIII lie Judge Perkins. Judge
Peters and congressman Morrill,, all re-
ceived almost the entire vote of the dis
trict in the Topeka convention and a
large vote in the election, while Mr..
Hanback, had next to no support in the
convention. and the smallest vote in the
election. Then we say that either of
these four gentlemen are more entitled
to he recognized as our congressman
than he. Let us suppose that Mr.. Han
back should die, and Gov. Click should
call an election to fill the vacancy, does
any one suppose that he would call on
the sixth district to do it? We think
not, but on the other hand.
other hand the state at large would be
called upon to fill the vacancy. The
parties would meet in state convention,
and, following q long line Of precedents,
they would decide that we ha|. no man
out west who knew enough to be- con-
greSs (Hanback being dead) and Eu-
gene Ware of Bourbon county, should
get the Republican nomina lion,
and Sam Wood of Topeka
! should get the Democratic
nomination; the election would reSuItin
Ware, the Bourbon county mans tri-
nph. Then it would be in o. der for
these gentlemen to pocket the insult, in
vlte Mr.. Ware MP to Osborne county tn
rent house and unPack his grip, when
these same papers would be ready TO
shout themSelver hoarse trying to make
the people believe THAI he was their
congressman, and they ought to stick to
the usages of the party and give him a
second term, and would it be any more
reasonable than what they are doing in
the present case.
But these gentlemen gravely tell
US that the balance of the Kansas dele
CATION have depuIised Mr. Hanback, to
act for this district, and to manipulate
the patronage at Uncle SANS command.
Now we don't for a moment think of
trying to cOntrovert this idea. If we
were inclined to do so, the alacrity with
which the post masters and land officers
aud their special friends are rushing
to the support of the Topeka statesman
would be conclusive refutation of any
argument we could offer, and vet we do
say that We know of no law by which 3
congressman is authorized to appoint
such deputies, nor do we know of any
/ principle of right or self respect thai
would Oh ctate that the people should
toss high the ready cap to any man who
bases his claims on so slim q tou6da-

ton
1t seems to us that out of a district
comprising 25o, 600 reople there ought
to be some man who /, capable of repre-
senting Us in congress. if we have not,
then let the district be attached to the
9th OF 9Th for congressional purposes
For ourselves, we hold to the opinI.n
there is not county in the district bu
contains men who would make in t a
efficient cong essmen as Mr. Hanback,.
and W. uld have the additional mein Of
having cast their lot among US from
choice, and COINED a residence before
they assumed to represent Us. Instead
of coming into The district solely because
they deemed il necessary to hold a ca
IN the ma ional e2islature. In view ~
these facts we say that Lewis HanbecS
is no more the legitimate representative
of this congressional district than any
other congre ssman, either n or out OF
Kansas. and the assumption that he is
the M. c.. for this district is an exhlbi
ton of cheek worthy of thu traditional
pro, sllor If Uncle Sam S freight wagons,
and that such thing as man NOV ,ng
into district for the sole md only pur
pose of running for he most important
office in the gilt OF a Iree people ;, and
that such claims should receive any
consideration is beyond our comprehen-
sion.

Squeezing jaw Gould.

washington Correspondence of the Press)
The recent talk in New York of an attempt
to squeeze Jay Gould and the possibility of
the success of such an effort calls to mind some
remarks made by that gentleman when visit
ing here some time sinc3. Somebody had
asked him what he would do in a case OF this
kind. Would it be possible, it was asked, to
make you, Mr.. Gould, poor man like the one
thousand dollar a year clerk, for instance?
"Well," he laughed, that would be pretty
hard to do, should think. OF course there
are people who would like to squeeze me If
they could, but L have got beyond that; they
cannot do that now, / have the thing too well
in hand, and it would be difficult at least to
form any combination against me, which
could not meet half way"
"But suppose it should; how would you feel
to be a poor man again without hundred
dollars in your pocket or in bank?"
"But that would be impossible" he said
soberly, "I have thought of all that, and pro-
vided for it. OF course this Wall street busi-
ness is risky; there is no question about that
aud one is liable to lose millions in an hour
And it is in view of that very fact that / have
made provisions for the worst whatever that
might be-. My wife has, for instance, a half
million dollars in bonds and her house, and
there are some odds and ends lying around
loose which could not go into general wreck,
which would probably foot up million. AL
of that would be secured no matter what
comes or goes; that is in such a way that it
cannot be used in speculation, and Is absolute
ly safe so that come what might 1 could never
become absolutely poor man, or so Door that
my family would be likely to suffer for the
necessities of life"

The English of IL.

People who have suffered with malaria,
humps. neuralgia, sick headache, and various
other commonplace and vulgar complaints will
delight to know that a new disease has been
discovered, which is more choice in the selec.
tion Of its victims. 1t is called by the late DR..
Beard neurophobia, and consists of an uncon.
trollable horror of some common experience,
such as passing beneath the shadow Of
a particular building or riding ION a
particular line of horse cars. 1 once
knew man who had the neurophobia,
but it was before the name was Invented, and
people called it monomania. He couldn't
bear to have anybody pass before him from
right to left. He said 1t wound him up, and
he would go any distance to get around the
winder, aud so straighten himself ont. The
disease is not very common in it's most eccen-
trio forms, but is believed to affect great
many of us slightly. We have our dislikes,
for which we cannot reasonably account We
speak Of persons and things that we "can't
bear" when others have no fault to find with
them. Certain facts give us the cold shivers,
or cause our animosities to bristle. Neuropho-
bia is the trouble. When the disease is acute
1t is difficult of cure, but people who are
afraid of it, can cure themselves in the early
stages of the disease, by avoiding ugly crid-
cisms of other people, condoning their faults
and eccentricities, REFRESHING their own ami
mosities and living peacefully, il possible. with
all men. A good deal of TIE neurophobia in
the world ought still to be called hate.

An Opinion on Arthur's Chances.

Washington Correspondence of the Press)
81 have just been talking" said very
close observer Of the political field to your COR
respondent few hours aga, 'I have just been
talking TO some members of Congress who are
delegates to the Republican convention and
am satisfied that Arthur is going into that con-
veEtion in much better trim than is generally
supposed"
"Well think the feeling in his favor is
growing every day. 1t is true that larger
number of delegates have been instructed for
other candidates but not q sufficiently large
number to nominate any one else nor do 1
think any OF those prominently mentioned
against him will be able to muster sufficient
strength to secure nomination"

"Yes, they claim to be but they do not claim
that he Is going there with sufficient strength

delegates and others who are watching the
matter most closely, he is not likely to gain q

rather the reverse"

eyes, that is the point in his favor. Every
State convention except that of Michigan and
nearly every county or district convention has
endorsed his administration cordially. This
shows that he would be popular as a candidate
among the masses, that he would poll the
full REPUBLICAN vote, and gives every member
of the convention good reason to look upon
him as fit man to receive his vote, The only
question now in regard to Arthur is touching
New York State. If it shall appear when the
convention meets that he could carry New
York If nominated think there is little ques-
ton of his nomination. / think there are
many of the uninstructed delegates who will

draw any strength more than that which is
absolutely pledged to him or instructed for
him -

WASHINGTON. May Ia.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Hoar asked and OBJ

Monday next at the same hour
On the pension bill reported by Mr.. Camden from
the committee on pensions debate arose parti-
cipated in by Messrs. Camden, Logan, Beck, Harris,
jackson and Blair, and it became animated when
Mr.. Van Wyck took the floor. He criticised the ac-
ton of Mr.. Blair in committee and the statements
of that Sena,or as to the reasons which induced
him to move in committee for reduction of the
amount of pension.
While Mr.. Van wyck was speaking Mr.. Allison
raised the point that reference to what happened
in the committee rooms was not in order.
Mr.. Van Wyck said that he was proceeding by
unanimous consent
The chair ruled that such references were out of
order.
Mr.. Van Wyck made several attempts to be heard
and MIR. Blair also occasionally put in word but
both were frequently called to order and the mat
ter finally dropped.
On motion Of Mr.. Blair the Senate then took up
the bureau of labor statistics bill passed by the
House and Mr.. Blair urged its passage.
MIR. Garland moved an amendment providing that
the bureau OF statistics of the Treasury Department
shall do the work required to be done by the BILL
and also providing for collection of information as

Political Notes.

A prominent friend of the President has recently
made an estimate of the first ballot of the several
States for candidate for President, in which no
gives Arthur 397, Blaine 259, Edmpnds 80, Logan
40, She man 20, Gresham y. This estimate, in our
opinion, is very far out of the way. Unless there
is going to be great change ere the convention
meets, MIR. Blaine will have many and We be-
heve few more votes than MIR. Arthur, and both
will have about COO of the S2O.-BOston Journal.
We feel very confident that the cry that Mr..
Blaine cannot carry the State of New York is with
out warrant and without reason. After the abuse
that has been so causelessly heaped upon hum ia
this early stage of the campaign, should he be able
finally to overcome it and win at Chicago the tide
would turn overwhelmingly in his favor, and If ne
chose to make a personal canvass OF this state, We
believe he would sweep everything before him. 1t
Is the nature of the American people to 20 only
the more earnestly for man who wins after .uch
abuse, and who has the peculiar pluck and nerve
which, in such 4 singular manner have distiDg asl.
ed the Maine statesman during his entire career-
Chicago Times.
