In the administration of a Government pledged
TO do equal and exact justice to all men there should
be pretext for anxiety touching the protection OF
the freedmen in their rights their security in the
enjoyment of their privileges under the Constitu-
ton and its amendments. All discussion as 10 their
fitness for the place accorded TO them Us American
citizens is idle and Improbable, except as il siIg,
gests the necessity for their Improvement The
fact that they citizens entities them TO all the
rights due TO that relation, and charges them with
all its duties. obligations and responsibilities
These topics, and the constant and ever-varyjuo
wants OF active and enterprising population NAV
well receive the attention and the patriotic endeay-
ors of all who make and execute the Federal law
Our duties practical, and call for industrious
application, intelligent perception OF the claims
of public Office, and above ALL firm determination

land the full benefits of the best form of govern
ment ever vouchsafed to man. And let us not trust

the power and goodness of Almighty God who
pfesides over the destiny of nations and who has
at all times been revealed in countrys history

The people demand reform in the administration
OF the Government and the application of business

civil service reform should be in good faith enforced
Our citizens have the right TO protection from the
incompetency of public employees who hold their

from the corrupting influence Of those who promise

The air in the vicinity of the saloons and
hotels is simply sultry with the excitement
over certain and hoped for changes and pros
poets OF various candidates 1t is known that
the designations Of all heads Of bureaus have
been asked for, and this is held to portend
sweeping removals. Ninety-nine per cent of
the present population Of the hotels are determ-

position, and are resolved that they shall not
leave the city until they have something.
Most of them begin with a secretaryship and

very curious fight is going on between the
Senators and Representatives,, whose cOnstitu-
ents have cruelty dispensed with their services,
aud the other o!fice-seekers. The ex-Congress-
men constitute themselves class, and claim TO
have prior claims to all others on the Offices
This claim the others deride, and insist on the
fact that If a man has been left at home by his
constituents 1t Is fair presumption that he is
mot entitled to anything. and they say things
that must be very bitter 10 the soul of the
VI C.'s. Not one of the Senators or Representa-
tives whose terms have expired has left the
city, but they are all here yet on the anxious
seat.

Hon. L. K. Pratt has been down on
this line of railroad this week, making a
note of the judicial canvass situation. He
has found the road to election broad and
plain. Even in Ellis county, where he
attended the fair and saw many voters,
the prospect is good. Thursday evening
Mr. Pratt came west from Ellis county,
and went to Grain6eld. Friday forenoon,
he came to Wa-Keeney, and gave us and
others pleasant calls. We were sorry that
be could not stay longer in Wa-Keeney.
He was compelled to start home yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Pratt's election is as
sure as his life. Re is a thorough law

bench.

The Wa-Keeney MiDstrels gave

The Wa-Keeney MiDstrels gave the
second OF their entertainments Thursday
evening. Those who have read in last
weeks WORLD the personnel of this troupe
need not have it described again. The
program of Thursday evening was new,
and was well executed. The house was
fairly packed with men, women and chill
dren who were intent on seeing the
thing through" This is good time for
us to say that the entertainment given by
this same troupe last Saturday evening
was popular and paironized excellently.
The boys, we think, will remain united as
a troupe, and we hope to be able to re-
cord many more entertainments for hem
in the future.
