Of Local Interest.

Special Dispa ten to the Kan:as City Journal
WAS INGToN, March 28,-E. c..
Culp. of SalIna, Kas q, il here with his
son, whom he will take to visit v est
Point The latter has been appointed
by Representative Hanback, t. a,cadet-
ship, and goes I'm to make prelimin-
airy survey of the situation.
So we see &that Congressman Han
back is alive to the interest of his con-
stituents. but takes care to find those
constituents down east. OF course it
would not he expected that man who
does not believe that one OF the 300 600
people whom he assumes to represent,
is capable of representing this district
would expect to find son of such faith
ers fit to be sent to the Military Acade-
my at West Point. In this, at least,
he has been consistent, and went hack
t. one of his former homes and b.
slowed his faVOrs on one of the sons of
8 Salina cronie.
1t has long been custom with con-
gressmen when they have a cadetship
at their disposal TO appoint an examin-
ing board of three or more com .etent
examiners before whom the candidates
for such hnnOrs would he summoned to
appear, by extended notices in papers
of the district, when the young man
deem d most tit for such appointment
would be recommended and receive the
app 'intment at the dis lO-al of said NJ g.
9. But in this Sc the first intimation
that any one has on the subject is that
young Culp, of Salina, has been ap-
pointed To this cadetahip on the simple
option of Mr.. Hanback,, thus diSre gard
ing all the uSages of the party as well
as the Sth district 1t is now in order
for MS supporters to whOOp and'hurrah
all the louder because their man has
shown superior wisdom by this addition
al Insult. This will be a splendid op-
portunltY for Bro. Tilton to save 4 few
more points. You can say some, hing
like this: The wonderful wisdom and
craftsmanship of our wonderful candi-
date is apparent. While other mem
bers of congress 60 to the trouble of
appointing an examining board, &c =,
Gus man cues straight to The p lint and
lets the world know III It he knows his
boy and needs none of their inter
ference.
