Gen. Grant and His Cigar.

Gen. Grant through all his illustriOus mill

Parsee's sacred fire never to bs extinguished.
Like al veteran smokers Gen Grant Dre-
ferred strong cigars, and smoked none but the
best Hayanas, at least after he rose to dis
tinctsan in the army
1t Is said that he averaged as high as twenty
cigars day, and considering the constancy of
his habit smoking from early morn to late at
night, this is 10. probably an exaggerated

THE JUDGESHlP.

Dear William, all that we answer
on that score Cor the present is
that now is your golden oppor-
tunity to make yourself solid with
the kickers aud 10 unite again the
Democratic hosts. But confine your
self, please, TO the Issue and TO the Of
tenders. Already YOUR double back
action kicking has caused our table TO
be flooded with endorsements of Wall
and with awfGlly severe words about
yourself. We have concluded TO hold
these over and fire them back At the
Beacon in the next campaign, and, by
the way, one of them is written by a
prominent Democrat. The probabili-
ties are that the EAGLE dot feel quite
so bad alb out it as Capt. White and
w. Fiavins Green. The truth is, the
EAGLE feels very much like standing
by the bar, a large majority of whom
not only asked the appointment OF
Mr.. Wall, but who believes that there
is the stuff in him for splendid
judge. In the meantime let US all
attend the revival and try and become
better men. There is no excuse at
least for the editor of an afternoon
paper neglccting this means of grace.
From the way the Beacon reads on
this judgeship we are only too deeply
convinced that there is At least one
brand whom it will take much earnest
PRAYING and loud singing to relieve
his clothes of the suspicious smell of
birthstone There is, however, left
us one sustaining hope that another
Judge than Wall will exercise His
mercy on the extremely provoking
case of our neighbor.

A STRANGE ATTITUDE.

If the Clay Centre Dispatch fairly
voices the people of Clay county, in
its last issue, that county will never
be troubled with proposition from
the directors of the Omaha, Abilene
& Wichita railroad company, much
less the expense of an election; If we
except, probably Republican township
cf that county. Riley and Marshall
counties, or even Riley, Pottawotonie
and NeTnaha counties suit the Chicago
interests and Wichita interests just as
completely as 6 line as does Clay and
Washington, while ST. Joe wants
to pull it as far east as Brown.
This talk of fear of building up
rival towns on either side of Clay
Center and of the probabilities that
TO aid the construction of such a rail-
road would increase taxes, squlnts at
n fogyism that we didn't believe could
be found in a western Kansas county.
or course, the building of the Wichita
K Chicago road through Clay county.
would build up nice, comfortable
towns on either side of the center.
That is inevitable. And, of course. the
taxable property, or values of Clay
county would thus, and in other ways,
be doubled; but, if Clay center has the
proper material in her these facts
would but enhance that city's import
ance. As for railroads increasing
taxation, that is too musty 10 catch
even gudgeons. A hundred thousand
dollars of bonds given square QUITO
say nothing of the stock given in re-
turn-:or two or three hundred thous-
and dollars worth of track aud rolling
stock, can't increase taxes, if no allow
ance was made for the increase of
property values and new cash capital
which follows invariably and always.

A Rest From Omce-seekers.

The dull season has struck Wash
ington to stay for while. The Pres
ident has started on his fishing trip to
the Adirondack wilderness. Most Of
the Cabinet officers will be absent for
the rest of the summer and about the
only curiosities left behind are Hig-
gins and the big monument.
Meanwhile the clerks and the Re-
publican office-holders throughout
the country will have a breathing
spell. Perhaps those in the depart
ments will now find time to take the
little vacations which few of them
seem to have thought of this year.
Heretofore each clerk has taken his
thirty days leave away from his
desk and many days beside without
the slightest twinge of conscience
Conscience is a commodity that few
people in Washington have had much
use for, but this summer there seems
to have been an overwhelming guam
tity OF it on hand. 1t has fairly
swamped the departments. The
clerks somehow discovered that per
haps they hadn't been as faithful tC
the people as they might have beer
and that possibly they might partially
balance matters should they make
up a little of the lost time. With the
administration hidden in the woods
however, these good resolutions al
likely as not may be postponed unit
a more convenient season.
While the President is getting I
rest the ofiice-seekers will also have {
chance to lecuperate for the fall cam
paign. Long before Congress meet
they will swarm back again, overflow
ing the hotels and boarding house
and anxiously watching for an.
crumbs that may fall from the admin
istration table. But for the presen
there will be peace, and the country
will get chance to catch its breatl
and think over what has already beel
done. There will be no more chang
es of Importance, and people will hay
to look to other parts of the countr
than Washington for the news.-Phi
