A TYNELY sUGGEsTTON.

the Republican of this morning, in
abiding to the forthcoming reunion of
the G. A. RS at Topeka, makes a sensi.
BILE and timely suggestion in regard to
some OF the distinguished visitors who
will be present at that notable gather
ing. which We trust the q. A. II. post OF
Emporia will notice to the extent of
taking some action therein. The Re.
publican says:
The reunion of the G. A. RS of Kan.
sas on the both and Both and LIST of Octo-
Der, at Topeka, promises To be one of
the grandest gatherings ever held in this
state. Generals Logan, Black and Nc
Clellan will be present. We would sug-
gest that q special committee of the post
OF this city, or, on the part of the citi-
zens, be appointed to invite these dlstin-
guished gentlemen to visit Emporia be-
fore their return east. A visit TO En-
poria would enable them to see more of
Kansas, and their presence in our city
would DC hailed with delight by all
classes, irrespective of party. We feel
warranted in saying that our citizens
would give them most cordial recep-
ton, and, anyway, we hope the courtesy
of an invitation will be extended TO
them. We have no doubt q special train
would be rendered by the Santa Fe tor
the occasion.
The gentlemen above named are men
OF national reputation who have achIev-
cd success in the forum and the field,
and should be honored accordingly.
General Logan will ever be remembered
as the hero of many hard fought battles
in the senate of the United States. Gen.
eral Mcclellan, the Little Mac" of the
army, will always be remembered as the
first organizer of the armies OF the
United States after the disaster at Bull
Run. General John g. Black, the gent
al and gifted orator, whose gallantry on
the battlefield Is well illustrated In the
his body, has become of great proml.
nence recently from the fact of having
been selected from thousands OF Union
soldiers tor the place of commissioner of
pensions which he now holds. And IL
may be remarked right here that the SOL
dlers have never had q truer friend, one
that has understood their needs more
thoroughly or that has done them greater
justice than General Black. AS CON-
missioner ofpensions General Black has
SO slmplifed the working of the office
that pensions are adjudIcAted in one-half
the time formerly required and with
much less liability to mistakes. Let us
have these gentlemen in Emporia by all
means. when, as the Republican Justly
ssSs, their presence would be hailed
with delight by all classes.

convention was called to order by tbs
chairman, O'Brien, of the state exccu

The morning opens with everything
apparently tending in HILLS favor. The
TsmmanY men claim that there is nc
longer any doubt that Hill will be nom
mated on the first ballot, and the county
Democrats, though they don't admit
this, confess Hills position is much
stronger to-day than it appeared To be

Chinese firm here received a dispatch
from Lewiston. Idaho, stating that agents
have been sent over to Pierce City to IN

merchant named Govenam, who had
just closed his business and was about to
return to China. The Chinese firms
here are troubled about the late outrages
at Rock Springs, Coal Creek and Pierce
City on their countrymen, and evidently
fear they may be repeated on q larger

Bee-Huntine Toads.

A curious incident was related to
our reporter few days ago by . sub
urban resident who has for the last
four or five years been engaged in bee
culture, and who has now some twenty
skips. During the dry spell of . few
weeks ago he had occasion one morn
ing to go out to the skips to divide a
swarm of bees. Whist was his surprise
upon investigating several of the Hives
to see toad at the entrance of each
box. The toads were apparently
asleep. but every time bee approached
the tongue Of the toad would Shoot out
like lightning and convey the unsus-
pecting insect into its capacious mouth.
Our informant attacked the intruders
and killed no less than eight of the
animals, and upon dissecting them was
astonished to find not less than thirty
and in one or two cases fifty honey
bees. Il Is needless to state that our
friend has raised his hives two feet
above ground, and thinks that in the
future he will save about . swarm of
bees during the season by the opera

OUR DEMAGoeUB OYER THE

For making great deal out . very
little the issue Of this mornings Repub-
lican is 70 be commended to all lovers Of
the tempest in the teapot" Badinage,
repartee and mountebankism are excel
lent things in their place, but they are
poor substitutes for argument
The position of THE News is At once
conservative and progressive. 1t is
simply arguing that the best men should
b brought TO the front, espe siallY In
local matters. We do otexpect to trim
our sails 10 catch the breeze from every
point OF the compass as the Republican
| appears with Ill success TO be endesvor-
ing TO do; but - pursue q straiRhtfor.
ward course, and support men for local
positions who, if placed In power, will
do honor and credit to Lyon county.
We did make q passing alIusion
to the resolutions adopted by the Repub-
Iican county convention and will say
again that they are provocative OF so
many questions, that 1t is difficult TO tell
where TO begin to ask them. Take res
olution number two for instance:
That it congratuIates the Republican
party OF Kansas upon It's success In re-
storing to the gubernatorIal chair OF this
great state a man who combines patriot
Ism and staIesmanship, and who possess
es the will and the courage to execute
all the laws enacted by our legislature.
First, we would like to know at what
time the governship Of this state has
been IN unpairiotic hands. and when It
was retored 10 the hands of q great
statesman? Was It when the transfer
was made from Governor st. John TO
Governor Click or from Governor Click
TO Governor Martin? Who Is the man
who has the will and courage to execute
all the laws enacted by the legislature?
Will the Republican answer us by point
ing TO AtchisOn, or Leavenworth, or Fl.
Dodge, or Wichita, or TO any other of
the numerous localities in this
state, where the flow of ardent
spirits is seemingly uninterrupted.
VIII the Republican continue to in
sist that there has been no progress in
the public sentiment Of this state during
the past two years? And will it insist
as third resolution of the convention ap-
pears TO have done, that there Phall not
be any change in that sentiment and
that line OF policy once decided upon
must be pursued forever without refer
ence TO the voice OF the people and with
out testing that will by resubmitting the
liquor question to their more enlight-
ened intelligence.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FIC.
TT0N

IION.
That the truth regarding the social
life of some men and women is far be-
yond the most exalted flights of the nov
elist and the story. teller ID unquestion-
able. This fact has received recent con.
firmatlon on the death OF one of New
Hampshire's most esteemed and re-
spectacle" citizens. The New York
Tribune publishes the story, beginning
with these significant lines: ION August
4 an old man died in a brothel at No. 20
Leyman street, Boston. A few days later
the funeral of Major Edward s. Sanborn,
at Kingston, New Hampshire, was an
nounced in the newspapers as that of a
philanthropist. The prematurely old.
degraded man, whose years numbered
only 81, and the lauded philanthropist
whose bones rest peacefullyIIn his native
village, were Identical" The Tribune
then tells US how the subject of its sketch
lived for more than thirty years double
life, passing portion of his time in the
place of his birth and the balance in the
city of Boston; that in his native town
he contributed literally to educational
aud religious enterprises. a philanthro-
pist of the first class, intensely interested
IN every labor having for its object the
promotion of morality and virtue; while
in the city of Boston he was known as q
libertine, an INSCRIPTIONS money getter,
accommodating wealth by means from
which honorable men shrink in horror.
The Tribune says further that he joined
partnership with the keepers of the most
dlsreputable dens of the metropolis, and
stopped at no violation of the moral law
and no dissertation of virtue, SO that his
vile acts brought money to his purse.
The ruin of Miss Julia A. Hilton, a re-
markablY handsome young woman from
Maine, seems to have been the only act
that he appears to have desired 10 make
any atOnement for, and this he did, first
by taking her into partnership with him
self In his vile pursuits, and secondly, by
erecting a marble monument to her
memory in her little country graveyard
that now holds her remains. A genuine
love seems however to have existed be-
tween these two. Miss Hilton &C
cumulated some $4,000 IN
der her lovers guidance and
just before her decease, made will Civ.
ing it all to him. Sanborne also made q
will just before his death, distributing
his wealth among charitable and relig-
ious associations.
1t is difficult to contemplate a charac.
ter of this kind without a shudder. And
yet the man has left behind him works
of charity that rise heavenward as mon.
uments to his seeming love and solici.
tude tor all that Is pure aud good on
earth.
Charity will ring down the curtain OF
insanity over HIM. 1t is hard to believe
that human nature could be SO thorough.
ly depraved when in its right mind; and
as the two wills left by him-one in his
native village and ONO in Boston-are to
be contested on the ground that he was
crazy, charity may be proven right IN itG
mitigation of the mans evil deeds, and
Tor the sake of human nature at large II
Is TO be hoped that the proofs may bt
found sufficient.
