The World. in an editorial on the
next Senator from New York, says:
"Would it not be to the honor of the
State and to the credit of the people,
if party considerations could be laid
aside and the Legislature induced to
tender the United States Senatorship
unanimously to Roscoe Conkling.'
The Graphic, in an editorial very
complimentary to Conkling, says:
"Now if Mr.. Conkling should be The
Democratic candidate for United

among the Republicans Of the Leg

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL has resigned
the rectorship Of st. Andrews University,
and gives as reason that his duties as rec
tor and .as the Minister of the United
States are incompatible. That is all very
fine, but it will puzzle the ordinary Amer.
lean to find out what he has done for this
country or its people since he has been
abroad. He is the prince of diplomatic dudes
and the grand high priest of snobs, mere
toady to royalty and nobility. The country
would be best pleased ifhe would resign his
Ministership and stay abroad as rector, for
he is all British, and no doubt often groans
over the fact that the accident of birth made
him q citizen of the United States.

If SOME Western member of Congress
whose constituency is interested in hog
raising will, when Congress reassembles, in
troduce a bill and fight for it until he Sc
cures its passage, prohibiting the importa-
tion into this country of any wines or
brandies manufactured in France, he will
not only put his people, but those of
the entire West under lasting obli-
cations to him. Besides he will force
France to allow the American hog to be
imported into her dominions. 1t is we'll
known fact that nearly all French wines
and liquors of late years arc adulterated to
such an extent that they are unfit for use
To keep them out of the United States
would be a blessing, and it would teach

notice In your issue OF 1st inst. report OF
an interview between Hon. Ed II. Smith, OF
Kansas, and q reporter OF your excellent pa

While can agree with Mr.. Smith that General
sherman stands very high in the estimation of
the Kansas people, and especially so with hor
Union soldiers OF the late war, am convinced
after residence OF twenty-five years In the
State, during which time served two enlist
ments In the service as a Kansas soldier In the
Union Army, that there is man living today
whom the Kansas soldiers idOllze above any
other living type OF true and brave Union
soldier, aud that man is General John A.
Logan, OF Illinois. He stands without rival
as Western soldier, and would sweep Kansas
ike cyclone does the prairie In It's fury. The
people OF Kansas, both citizen and sOldlef,
would roll up such a victory for General
Logan as has never been recorded In the an.
