"THE SAME OLD COON"

The students at Washington, Penn
sylvania, held, on the 10th inst, a mock
Republican National convention. Two
hundred students, arrayed in plug hats
and linen busters, collected at the de-
pot, representing the arriving dele
gates, aud marched, headed by brass
band, to the town hall. In the Organi-
za.ion of the convention the "unit
rule" was beaten. The seats of G.. l..
McGee and John l.. Stewart, of Penn
sylyania, and William Malone of Vir-
ginia, were contested. The gentlemen
personating Magee and Stewart were
allowed seats, but Malone was routed.
At night nominations were in order.
James G.. Blaine was put in nOmina-
ton by T.. Il. Mccormick, persOnating
Senator John j. Ingalls,, of Kansas !;
and VIM. Z. Frye, for vice-president,
by III. Stewart. representing Governor
ST. John. of Kansas. The convention
nominated Edmunds for president and
General james "A. Beaver, of Pennsyl-
vania, for vice-president. The month";
ating speeches were all 1irst-ratc, and
reflect credit upon the students. The
discussions and nominating speeches
showed no meagrc knowledge of pO-
litical principles and public men. Kan
sas cut big figure in the convention:
The Kansas delegation established
headquarters at the Fulton house, and
hung ont banner, displaying on one
side grasshopper, and on the other

PECULIAR BOOM.

A peculiar feature of the present
movement in favor of Arthur, and
which is probably unprecedented in
political history, is the attitude of the
business clements of the country.
Ordinarily the boom of an incumbent
of the presidential chair comes largely
from the civil service list, from men
enjoying the places, the power and
the patronage of the party's admins
tration. While the party conventions
have heartily endorsed President Ar
thur mall particulars they have not
asked for his denomination, nor have
the oflice-hoiders under him chosen
him rs n first choice. In fact the pres
cnt wonderful and Enthusiastically
strong movement in his direction
comes from what are known as the
great conservative or business inter-
ests of the country. Taking our own
town and county as an example, the
politicians, that is men who take an
interest i'm political parties are for
Blaine, Logan, etal., but we find by
talking around that a large maturity
of the business men Of Wichita are for
Arthur rs first choice, or ut least
urging that they would prefer him to
the chances of a change.
There is no denying the fact that the
Arthur boom is on.

IuoeE d.. BREWER.

Hon. David j. Brewer, recently APP
pointed United States circuit judge in
place of Judge McCrary, took his seat
ut the circuit court yesterday. Judge
Brewer will remain in town until the
cad of next week, when he will go to
Leavcnworth, where he resides. In
speaking to the Times Yesterday,
Judge Brewer said that the eighth
circuit was the largest of any, CON-
prising the seven states; Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado,
Minnesota and Arkansas, and in case
the Davis bill passes congress, Judge
Brewer will probably make his head
quarters in st. Louis. The bill pro-
vides, amongst other things, for
court of appeals to be held in that
city, and for the appointment of two
additional JUDGES to each circuit.
Senator Ingalls, has bill now before
congress for the division of the eighth
circuit into two, consisting of Ne
braska, Kansas, Colorado and Ar
kansas in the eighth district, and Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Minnesota in the
ninth. There is a possibility that
Judge Brewer may permanently re-
side in Kansas City, but he cannot
decide until the question of the divi-
sion of circuits is settled. Judge
Brewer is temporarily stopping at the
residence of his brother-in-law, ex-
Mayor S. ID. Woods. He is most
genial convcrsationalist, and laugh
ingly remarked yesterday that havin &
good appetite and good position, nc
proposed to take lif, as easy as work

WARDS PROFITS.

NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

Mr.. Plumb in speaking in favor of
an appropriation for the New Orleans
Exposition on the 18th instant, in the
senate said:
But this matter has got to a point
where l think the public expectation
has been aroused, and the chances for
benefit derived not only TO the south
ern people but to all of the people in
this country are suffic TO warrant
us in making this experiment. | be-
lievc il will do more TO intcrmingic
the people of the whole United States,
that 1t will do more to give life 10 the
currents of trade, especially in the
southern states, to open up new mar
kets for the northern states, to bring
us into accord with the people of the
states of South America, rs | have
said, and generally stimulate the
movements of the people and their
business interests throughout the en-
tire country, than any other thing that
we could do ut this time.
To my great surprise | found that a
large interest was awakened in The eX-
hibifion in the state of Kansas. That
is state somewhat remote, a state
that has business of its own to do,
that has market for its own pro-
ducts west; bu; still find that our
people are looking forward with a
great deal of interest to this exhibit
ton. Kansas will have display there
if its products. which will be, have
no doubt, creditahle TO that state, and
following that display will go thous-
ands of people. and | fhink'that will
be true of all the states of the Mis-
souri, valley. | have no doubt that
the feeling will be contagious, and
that it will spread to the states east,
if it has net already done. so.

NO JUSTICE IN MISSISSIPPI.

Senators Lamar and George, of
Mississippi, are much put about by the
prompt acquittal of Wheeler, charged
with participation in the Copiah muir
der. Both Senators have been prepaf-
ing speeches against the report of Sea-
a,or Hoar on the Copiah atrocities,
which will be soon submitted in the
senate. A disagreement of the jury
in Wheeler's case wv,.id have given
them some ground on which TO defend
the administration of justice in their
state as between white Democrats and
colored Republicans. The acquittal of
Wheeler shows, however, that there is
not even a semblance of justice in
Mississippi in cases where Republicans
whether white or black, are the vic
tins. Senators Frye. Harrison. Sher-
man, Cullom, and Conger will make
speeches in favor of the adoption OF
the Hoar report.-Learea,corfh Times

THE year ending with the presen spring has been in some respects very remarkable, especially in the matter of floods; nevertheless there has been no excess of rain. The circumstances under which it has fallen, however, in the Ohio basin, and in the basin of the upper DaG- ube, in Europe, have been such that It's full weight was at once tbrown into the discharging streams, crowd ing them out of their banks, and ln- undaling the towns, villages and country along it's borders. h each instance the warm rains have fallen uDon considerable bodies of snow, r.sulting in a flood.

m4tter of warm falling rain, the forests cut no figure in the matter whatever, except that if they have any effect they serve tO hold m gre snow on the ground till ihe warm rains wash it away, and serve 10 in crease the volume If the flood rather than to It strain it. Far back in the last century, and in the early rart of the present century, floods are recorded that were very nearly as great as those of last spring and thIs spring, and in those days the primeval forests stood upon the ground fsm the smallest rivu'et at the head of the Allegheny river, along the Ohio and Mississippi, dawn to the Gulf of Mexico. In tn ose days these results were not so apparent, for there were few cities to be distur ed, but small commerce and no railroads and telegraph lines. To-day the commerce of a whole nation is disturbed in all those rela> tions which now exist almos, as in timatcly as though the country were one great city.
 Again, great cold has given the country another experience. It has not been so much or any more in- tense than on many former occasions, but It has extended over wider area of country, and 10 an unusual ais tance south. No doubt the cold weather can be in great measure attributed to the destruction of for ests, thus giving full sweep 10 the heavy TO, thern winds close to the surface of the earth. The cold Arc tic blasts having uninterrupted way in the higher regions, it is not to be supposed that they have never be- fore travelled far towa'd the equator but owing to the density of the pro- tective covering of timber On the surface, their fall force has rarely been felt so far south.
 The phenomenal sunsets of the past four months have been an other cause of fear among some classes; wonder, admiration and speculation with oihers-thcre has been much of the latter as to the cause. Of one thing we may be as- surcd, that the phenomena IS tue re- suit of purely terrestrial causes, from the fnct that with the nakt d eye coiors in the ph0tosphere of the sun are entirely undisuuguishable, and therefore all the beautiful col> bring which we sec at any tune comes from the play of the rays of lirht from the sun upon the atmos- phere surrounding the earth. The conditions of that stmo phere en- tirely determine what the sunlight will reveal to the eye. Heat, moist ure, etc, are all changing forces of the atmosphere. and any of these producing a somewhat unusual con fition of the atmosphere would be liable to present to us the beautiful and interesting phenomena of which we speak.

It must be a strange na- ture indeed that, being innOcen', would debase itself by petty, wan ton theft. If there is one thing in the Republican record that will tell against them, more than aTy other, ii is the fact that they havS .dHiIed to bring these petty Star Route thieves to justice; if there l. one thing that is more disgusting than another to Republicans all over the United States, it is the abortive attempt which those whom we hav3 trusted with the honor of the party and na- ton at Washington have m de in the Star Route business; if there is one thing more than another that will lead the Democracy to victory in the coming campGlgn, It is the knowledge Republicans have of the | kind of men who have pushed tliem> selves into places of power and
