A job KenIcIl.

The Senate yesterday defeated the
ingalls, pension bill, which had been EN-
dorsed by the Republican caucus and
was virtually commended by the plat
form Of that party recently adopted at
Chicago, which sought to take every job
in view under Its protection. 1t is esti
mated that had it become law it would
have taken two hundred millions out of
the federal treasury; there was no de
mand nor necessity for it no depart
ment sanctioned it and altogether IL was
stupendous job, which has right fltIy
had the life crushed out of it.
For this disposition of the measure the
country Is indebted TO the Democrats of
the Senate as body, and to some indl-
vidual Republican senators the Repub
lican party, as a whole, is entitled to no
credit. That party is for excessive
taxation. big revenues, lavish expendi
lures and easy stealing. Its caucus and
its convention endorsed this job. Senator
Sherman had the foresight TO save him
self by opposing il, and when ingalls,
rebuked him for ignoring the Chicago
platform Mr.. Sherman said
The Chicago platform was framed bv

THE NORMAL LAND SALES.

The Wichita EAGLE SAYS ii has good au
thortv for saving that The regents Of the
State Normal school, some time this fall,
transferred all the endowment lands of the
state school 30 syndicate or "A bank presi-
dent for the nominal price OF IS per acre,
and that the purchaser proceeded 10 New
York, where he placed them innocent pur-
chasers hands, 20 that they are beyond the
control of the sta;e.-Atchison Champion.
The Press called attention 10 this matter
in September The bank president referred
TO is undoubtedly III. c. Gross, of the First
National of Emporia. Early in the sum
mer the regents sold the remainder
of the Normal endowment lands,
between seven and eight thousand acres TO
Mr.. Cross for $3.50 per acre, not 81, AS the
EAGLE has it. The lands are located in
Mitchell county, and are represented
TO us MS being worth 81 or 50 per acre.
Whether Mr.. Cross made the purchase for
l.imself or for the Emporia syndicate We
have never learned, and AS We said in our
former article the purchasers could not be
blamed much by their code of morals, for
jumping at a transaction IN which they Will
pocket cool $4,000. Whether the ex-
chcauer of the state Normal school can
stand depletion at this rate is another thing,
ana l. a matter IN MHlch the pubic Is ul-
rectly Interested. We have been told
that at the time the offer of $3.50 was
made an offer of - per acre was pending.
We suppose the board of regents was res
ponsible for such transactions as this. The
whole thing looks suspicious. The very
poorest Sands in the state have brought more
than $3.50 per acre for the past two years.
1t seems hard to think that the guardians Of
the interests of one of our state schools would
deliberately consent that Ifs financial inter-
osts should suffer ut their hands,
yet il looks As if the normal re-
gents had either done this or had
committed an objectionable blunder.
The fact that the lands were sold
stcalthily, instead of being thrown open TO
the highest bidder. is another very suspicious
circumstance. We hope the boast of Coy.
Click about the pure and superior manner
in which the state insttutitutions have been
run under his administration VIII not be
married by the discovery Of anything crook
ed in the sale of the Normal lands, but we
insist the matter viii bear investigation by
the legislature, Ii the treasury of that in
stitution has been cheated the blame and
punishment ought TO fall where they belong.

bright, keen. wiae-awake man, We lost no
time in asking him how the colored people
of his acquaintance felt over the late eiec-
ton. His answer was thai Bruce and the
southern Democratic newspapers are lylng
in representing that there Is no uncasnes'
among the colored people Of the south. H'
said further all that could possibly get away
would leave and those who could not mus
