4 WORD TO GEORGE YEALE

We have always liked Col. Geo. w.
Veale, OF Topeka. He has q generous
heart and has been very useful map
there. Because we prefer Ryan for
Congressman; because we cannot see
anything to be gained Ia changing him
for Veale at this time, is no reason
why we do not desire Col. Veale's pros
perity, nor why we would not, under
proper circumstances. support him for
congressman. Esteeming him as We
always have, we regretted to see the colo
nel's "Optn letter" as published in the
Topeka papers OF yesterday. The las,
thing q man ought TO do In politics is To
lose his temper. 1t weakens him. This
lesson We supposed the colonel
had learned long ago. In addi.
lion TO this, Col. Veale threatens
to bolt the republican nomination. We
certainly hope he will not do this. II
he runs as an independent he will hE
beaten so badly that he would hardly
remember that he had ever run for con-
gross. The logical sequence of his pc.
sition after the election would be that Of
a soured and played out politician. The
colonel cannot afford TO put himself in
that plight. He has many friends and
admirers throughout the district, who
would be glad to see him promote
when the time comes. He will acknowl
edge that the only reasons he has SO fsl
given for wanting to succeed Ryan arr
entirely personal to him. He ought no
to expect these 20 sway th'
people of the district. He ought no
to expect that because he has an ambi
ton to go 10 congress the people are go
ing to throw a good man overheard
simply to accommodate his personal am
bition, be it ever so laudable. tn,
colonel must bide his time. He canno
force things. Now we want to say, as
friend of Colonel Veale, that the bes
thing he Can do, both for the presen
and future, Is TO recall that foolish letter
and roll up his sleeves and help tn
whole Republican ticket this fall, il
GLIDING Tom Ryan, with all his might
George, you can't affoId to do anythin
else. Old jim Lane once toll
US, and he was not
political fool, that il had always bet
his policy in politics, when anybody wa
in his way, to push hun up higher on
Of his way. He said that was the easie.
way to get rid of rival. There is a
awful sight of good sense IN this.

TRAGEDY at YaIlsI rails.

VALLEY FALLS, April 14.-What may
prove TO be shocking murder was COM
mittcd here about 7 O'Clock this evening.
The d ff1cuIty vas between a blacksmith
named John McDermott, and a young
scapegrace known as Major Censor, who
has been q runner for the Cataract
house here. Censor had been drinking
very freely during the afternoon and
evening. and it is said tina: McDefmOtt
had been imbibing quite freely also
They went into Coy's drug stOrs and or
dered some cigars, when dispute
arose as to who should pay for them
and the result was that McDermoti
knocked Censor down. This
30 enraged the latter
that he procured hammer, followed
McDtrmott, and when he was standing
on the corner of Broadway and Syca
more streets, in front of the new Era of
fee, Censor let drive at him with the
hammer, crushing the skull in just over
the right ear. After the man had fallen
his assassin stopped down with an oath
hit him heavy blow in the face Will
his fist. He then fed, but was soon cap
tured in Asa Bishops billiard hall. The
cry of lynch him went up from all sides
as soon as the foul deed was discovered
The excitement at this hour runs high
and If McDermott dies, which is alto
gether probable, the chances for youDE
Censor stretching hemp before he is 2.
hours older are exceedingly good.

Back Pay and bounty.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE treasur-
er has issued the foil wing circular in
regard to claims for back pay and
bounty:
The steady increase IN the number OF
claims tor back pay and bounty and the
consequent delay in their settlement has
produced great pressure to have such
Claims made special. A compliance
with numerous requests made for claims
to be settled t5e Ord>r of their recep-
ton would work great injustice to a
large and worthy class of claimants who
have no. influence themselves and no
influential friend to solicit favora in
their behalf. It is believed proper re-
gard for the rights OF all parties requires
that claims of the character men
toned be EXAMINED and disposed
of in the order of their fling in this
Office, exceptions being mode only when
the party in interest is in INDECENT cir
cumstances, and Individually suffering
for pecuniary aid, or with some other
equ ally good and sufficient reason shall
exist for the exception, the facts justify
ing the exception beng certified upon
personal knowlt dge by q responsible
party, or established by proof. 1t is
ordered accordingly that Lieutenant
Colonel David II. Brotlertou of the
TwentY-fifth infantry, and Major Ed
ward Ball of the Seventh cavalry be
placed on the retired list of the army to-
day.

If anything were wanting after the

Ohio Democratic legislature by the
Standard Ol Company, 1t was furnished
In the defeat Of what was known as the
KohIer free-pipe bill. It is well known
that the SlsndaId Oil Company is to-
day one of the most gigantic and
shameful mohopolies in the country. II
is constantly spreading its power and
influence. The Kohler pipe line bill
was well calculated TO cripple this mon
ster, and hence its passage was earnestly
desired by the people at Cleveland and in
the oil regions. By g most perfect COM
bination and alliance with the railroads,
the Standard OIL Company dictates
rates to Independent rehners and gels
hundreds of thousands of dollars rebate
annually on its own freight. Il is the
possessor of the pipe line to Cleveland
from the oil fields. and of the one to the
seabosrd. The object of the Kohler bill
was to allow the laying of pipe line,
TO be used as q common carrier
by all refiners, at a fixed rate.

TO say that q common carrier pipe la e

came alarmed at their own action. The

voting it down. So il was called up

THE ELGHT on MenARR.

The colored Republicans Of this state
worked long time for suitable recog-
milton on the Republican ticket, and
during the time complained bitterly
that they were not treated fairly. Two
years ago the Republican convention
gave them one OF the best offices in the
state. and the action OF the convention
was ratified at the polls by the Republi-
can Yoters BY . handsome msjoriiy. Mr..
McCabe, though lac is 3 gentleman and
has made 9 good auditor of state, was
NJ soIner we'll under way In bis new
place, than the colored people who had
been go clamOrous for recognition, be-
gan relentless fight upon him. We
have heard Of no other motive tor this
than that certain coloEed men could not
control him III the appointment of
clerks, or something of that kind. We
have heard OF no charges against his TO-
{ gritty as an officer, or
that he is not qualified.
This 6ght upon the auditor all comes
fIom colored men. They SEEM to be
intent upon defeating him for renominA
lion, even at the expense of the race. Il
81 ems to Us they are acting very unwise-
~. Perhaps the colored leaders have
made mp their minds that this Office now
belongs 10 them, and that all they have 10
do hereafter Is 10 fix the thing up to
suit themselves. IgtheY hayc reached
this conclusion they had better uHde-
ceive themselves d. once. There are
10000 or 12,OO0 colored voters in the
state and they are entitled to the same
consideration as any Cthtr 10000 or
II 900 voters and no more. Our opinion
is that II Is bad time now for Republi:
can colored men to get up division
10 their ranks, as il would almost
surely end in the defeat
of McCabe or any other colOred man in
the approaching convention. There are
plenty Of white men who will encourage
the fight among the colored Republicans
with the sole view of keeping a colored
man of the ticket. The cslored Repnb-
licAns are certainly blind 10 their own
interests If they do not see this. They
cannot afford to 60 into the convention
with fight on their hands. People
have become acquainted with Mr.. Nc
Cabe, and there Is every reason to be-
lieve he stands better show for nomIna-
ton than any colored man who can be
presented to the cohYGntiOn. We trust
wise councils thsy prevail among the
colored Republicans. By wise course
they may keep the Holt they have. BY
division they may lose what it will
take years of bard, unit,d work TO re-
gain
