Don't Know What He is Talking
About.

THE truth is that in Kansas, two years ex-
perience under Democratic rule, there has
been more Jobs, more extra expenses, and
greater number of steals, than under any
five Republican administrations. EAGLE.
You are simply stopping over and giving
large rein TO your feryid imagination. 1t
would be strange if it were true that Gov.
Click is the only member ofthe state admin
| istration elected by the people. Every
board in the state Is made up of Republicans
and Democrats. If that charge against the
Normal board is true, why isn't it verified.
You forget the Bancroft steals while you
were an efficient member of that board.
| The history Of the rotten commonwealth is
too well known for you to indulge your pro-
| pensity TO prevaricate.-Beacon.
As you seem always to delight in person
al pronouns we will simply say that you
don't know what you are talking about, and
seldom do. When you can't understand
anything, which is generally the case, and
when you are blinded by partisan prejudice,
which is alwas true, your big hold is to call
the EAGLE liar. Your knowledge of the
Normal board and our connection with it
is abou; as lucid as some Of your statements
with reference to the early history of this
county and Payne's connection with it. We
were not on the board when Bancroft de-
, faultcd, but we were on the board when il
was discovered, ard we were one Of three
or four witnesses that sen. him
to the penitentiary. Another thing,
Governor Click and not the Republican
state officers, is responsible for the placing
Democrats on the various state boards. As
to our charge of jobs and the extra expense
of his administration they are true and some
Of them will be verified by the incoming
legislature. Pussy, the Democratic defaulter
at the penitentiary, belonged 10 Clicks

Of prevarication viii not alter the fact in
anybody's eyes if we except the eyes Of the
editor of the Beacon, who thinks that an
extra cow-session of the Legislature, and an
extra Texas steer commission and an extra
Observation-Disclosures doctor. on Il big sal
airy, are not extra expenses"

ARRAHAM,s BOSOM.

From New York to San Francisco the
newspapers are discussing the preacher in
politics" Burchlrd and Beecher furnish the
text. but nine out of ten of the articles are
aimed at some local offender. The time was
when the Protestant church made great ado
over Catholic priests and church and state,
but Protestant churches have been ruptured
within a month past because of the party
activity Of their pastors. II has a cooling
effect, no doubt, on the sanctity of the aver
age rcligiously inclined Denocrat--if there
really are such-to sit and hear his own pas
tor denouncc his political principles as being
desperately wicked. Speaking for ourself,
we wouldn't listen to a preacher ten minutes
who should pretend TO intimate for mo-
ment that Republicanism was not synony-
nous with patriotism. We have sometimes
been tempted to think-nothing more than
to think We assure you-that when preachers
have concluded that they could talk any
thing better than the gospel they would do
well TO strike for another job. Preachers
must either let up on politics
or else each congregation will be compelled
10 support two divines of different political
faith, Sunday and Sunday about, Or to di-
vide up into Democrat Episcopalians and
Republican Episcopalians, Republican Meth
odists and Democrat Methodists, and so on.
In other words, the words of Democratic
preacher who talks politics in his pulpit
will never fail 10 spiritually demoralize ev-
cry Republican member of his church and
vice versa. We won't say that "the politi-
cal preacher must 60" but we wish the
Good Father bad kindly and tenderly taken
Brother Burchard to Abraham's bosom in
the early days Of autumn, and ii would have
been no great mistake to have served Beech
or in the same way unless he is being re-
served for warmer place, which we are in
clined to think is the case. Political Preach
err Buchard and Beecher-Rum Romanism
and Rebellion, proved to be great elements
of strength within the Republican, party,
80 much So in fact, that they busted it.

The secretary of the treasury advises that
all one and two dollar notes be withdrawn
from circulation His idea is TO force silver
into circulation. We suppose it would have
that effect. But il would work great incon-
venience SO far as transmitting by mail small
sums of money by register from offices
which are not provided with the money or

of the country ARE not money order offices,
and from these offices small sums are daily
registered. As registered letters So by
weight the postage would prove grevious
