Political Calumny.

From the Home Journal.
The literature of our politics, particu-
larly that of Presidential campaigns, fur
nishes a striking example of the III eff
fects of an abuse Of adjectives. The en-
tire vocabulary Of qualifyers is forced into
the wild, reckless service of electioneer-
ing, until at length it retains no definite
meaning, and has no appreCiable weight
nor influence with the public. Great and
small, good and bad, light and dark are
all sWallOWedup in one indistinguishable
cloud and swept along in the irrepres-
sible WhirlWind of buncOmbe extraVa-
gance. Passion is indeed torn to tstters,
and truth with it. The epithets that
properly pertain to cOnvicts and outlaws
Of the most decided guilt are shOwered
without limit upon the candidates for
the chief magistracy Of the Republics and
a foreign visitor from the moon or some
remOter planet, taking words at their true
value, might well infer that our Ameri-
can elections were grand triumphial fetes
for the chief criminals out of prison. Or
they might be mistaken for a contest Of
fresh hOnOrs IN PandemOnium. Certain
ly if one iOta of what is alleged against
the three leading candidates In the pres
ent campaign were true, they would take
their place without further ado at the
head Of the great criminal phalanx TO
rule as a perpetual triumvirate Of evil.
Is any murder more cruel than they
have planned in their hearth theft and
robbery more WantOn? any vice more
gross and sWinish2 How is the public
going to Judge these men? There is not
a word Of good English left with which
to express their character. Reckless
panegyric battles judgment not less than
diabOlic calumny. If In the confusion
the people find the best man, it must be
through the exercise of some sixth sense,
some mysterious intuition, some magic
alchemy.by which the mountain Of drOss
is eliminated and the one solitary grain
Of gold that is buried within it is brought
tOlight.

CAPITAL TOPICS.

Governor Click has received a letter
from Mrs. Augustus Wilson, Lady Com
missioner to the Worlds Fair, from
which we are permitted to make extracts
as follows: General Burke gave me space
for an exhibit for Kansas, or for the
WOmen's Department, pays all expenses
of labor, in putting things IN proper
shape, pays transportation on all goods,
and furnishes the Department with
chairs, tables, glass cases, and in fact
everything 1 need, or ask, to exhibit
goods, and for their care and safety.

NEARNe THE END.

i m growing old; the hopes and fears
That Waged an ever vary ing strife
No more awaken smiles ana tears,
Disturbing my serener life.
The ardent love, the jealous thrOe,
Which burned ana ragged without s1Fc5ase5
Have left me and a gentler glow
OF sweet cOutentment brings me peace.
Strong passion owns my reasons sway
Calm pleasure comes where loves bestowed
And QUIET friendship sOOthes my way
Along lies peaceful autumn road.
No unknown future threatens i'll;
No fierce ambition drives me on;
gaze from LIES gubimest hill
On dangers past and victories won.
What though my natural powers decay
My lessening time makes less demand;
The labor done, at close of day
The farmer resting views his land.
And sees the harvest waving fair,
The ridgy rows with plenty filed
Sees fruitful fields rest Darrens bare,
The baTrens bare his hands have TILED.
So looks lies landscape to my eyes;
Ny earthly work is nearly done.
A calm comes to me from the skies,
AS slowly sinks LIES setting sun.

The following is the nativity Of those
committed:

DR.. Early, the physician, has this to
say;
Many of the boys who are sent to rN
form schools come from bad home con-
ditions, and have been poorly fed and
clothed. Others have been kept in jai.
for months, yet Notwithstanding this
and the fact that they are too muCl
crowded, the health of the school Ia.
been good.
But let me call your attention to the
subject of sewerage. L find on examin-
alton that the sewer pipes are but six
inches in diameter; that they are imper-
feCtly laid, and it is believed that there
is danger OF the water supply becoming
a source Of disease. Again, the course
of the discharge should be changed; in
stead of being discharged into Soldier
Creek near the buildings to the north,
the pipes should be carried to the east,
where the water leaves the farm, thus
keeping the water pure for ice aud stock.
1 would also suggest the propriety Of
erecting a hospital. At present there Is
not a room in or about the building
where a sick patient can be properly
cared for, on account Of the crowded
condition Of the school, and all the
rooms being occupied. With imperfect
sewerage and the use Of water or milk
which is liable to become poisoned, "
should not be surprised If some epidem~
should break out.
viii only add that with WatchfH
care, prompt attention, wholesome fOOo
and good nursing there has not been a
death or serious case Of illness since the
Institution opened, June 8, 1881.

An Oyster whips a Duck.

A rough-and-tumble- combat between
a wild duck and an oyster occurred here
the other day. The duck was a large
and full-grOWn one that had recently
come from the North to enjoy our Win

which inhabit the bays till the Spring,
when they return North. When the
oyster feeds it opens its shell wide till
the full oyster is plainly visible. A sight
Of such a mOrsel was too much for the
duck. He made a heaGl0ng plunge, iu-
sorting his bill between the oysters open

being heavy enough to keep the ducks

Inc report OF COIs w. l.. j ones, Var
den of the Kansas State Penitentiary
for tina fiscal years ending June 80, 1888,
and June 30, 1884, has been made public:
THE CoAE NINE.
Col. Jones took charge af the institu-
ton April 9, 1888, where he found that
the greatest industry connected with IL
was the coal mine, and that the State
han been exceedingly fortunate In hav-
ing successfully opened up a mine here
that must eventually result in a great
pecuniary benefit to the State.
From this mine, during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1888, was taken 733, 433
bushels Of coal, 233, 529 bushels Of which
was furnished to State institutions; the
balance, 1893, 904 bushels, was sold for
cash at an average price of about g cents
per bushel, making the value of coal
taken from the mine during the year,
$49. 078.78.
The output Of coal for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1884, was 81, 857 bush
els, pa, l67 bushels of which was fur
nished to State institutions; the balance,
633, $50 bushels, was sold for cash at an
average price of 7 49-1OO cents per bush

from the mine during this year, and

fiscal years covered in this report, and a
total output for the mine for the two
years Of /, 81, 29O bushels, and a grand
total Of 2,187, 272 bushels since the open
ing Of the mine.
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The total earnings for the year 1888
amounted to S128, hip, and the ex-
penditures for the same year were $I31,-
567. %, leaving loss to the State for the

STATE REFoRM SCHOOL.

We are in receipt from Superinten-
dent Buck, Of the Second Biennial Re
port of the State Reform School, located
four miles North of Topeka. He says:
The past biennial period Of the school
mas been a very successful one In each of
its departments. Our labOrs on the farm
have given very satisfactory results. The
yield of crops and vegetables has been
such as our most sanguine expectations
could have hoped for. The work of
clearing the ground has been continued
since our last report, until about sixty
acres have been placed in a very high
state Of cultivation. The greater portion
Of the remainder Of the farm has been
entirely cleared Of underbrush, and Is
being converted into bluegrass pasture.
Our present crowded condition and the
many and frequent applications for the
admission Of pupils into the school,
makes 1t incumbent on me to ask for
more room. Had there been sufficient
capacity in the institution our number at
present would have been more than
doubled.
Two cottages or family buildings, con-
tanning officers rooms, q school room,
dOrmitories, WardrObes, bath rooms, ETC.
each having capacity to accommodate
fifty boys, should be built.
The increase of numbers would make
1t very necessary that there should be
erected a large and commodious struc-
ture to the rear of our present building
the first floor to serve the purpose of a
kitchen, store rooms, refrigerator room
ETC., the second floor to be arranged for
q dining room, pantries, etc, while the
third floor could be used as an assembly
room for Sabbath School, lecture, or
preaching. At present the only place
we have where all can be assemble for
such purposes is in one of our school
rooms, which viii conveniently accom-
mOdate only about two-thirds OF our
present number.
The small room in the basement OF
the building used for laundry purposes is
entirely too small, and in no manner
suited to the wants of the institution
AS we are compelled to dry the clothing
in the open air, we at certain
seasons cannot have the clothing
in proper condition with regularity
The following shows by what author
ty commitments to the institution were
made:
Probate court, AZ; Justices court, %;
District court, 81; Police court, 2; total, 100.

mitment;
