The Next House.

The Post, Democratic paper, pub
liShed at Washington, printed long
article April Dist, in regard to the prob
able political character of the next
House of Representatives. The pres
ent House contains 1874 Democrats in
Guiding one Greenbacker, and al Re
publicans, also including Greenback-
er. The Post anticipates that the
Democrats will have 202 members in
the next House and the Republicans
126, giving the former a majority of Il.
1t is supposed that the Democrats will
gain two members in California, one in
Connecticut, two in Indiana, one in
Kentucky, one in Louisiana, two in
Massachusetts, three in Michigan, one
in Missouri, five in Ohio, one in Penn
sylvania, one in Tennessee and one in
Wisconsin. The Post predicts Repub-
lican gains in the following States: One
III Illinois and two in Iowa. The arti-
Gle states that once only in the last six
biennial elections have the Republicans
succeeded i'll carrying the House. In
the year 1880 they elected 40 members,
a bare majority of the 293 of which the
House was then composed. In Indiana
they had eight of the thirteen members,
in Ohio fifteen of the twenty, and in
New York twenty of the thirty three,
electing in those three States forty
three members, while the Democrats
had only twenty-three. Since then
these States have been re-districted by
the Democrats, SO that the same vote
that elected twenty-three Democrats
and fOrty-three Republicans in 1880
would now elect thirty-fve Democrats
and thirty-three Republicans, Demo-
cratic gain of twelve and a Republican
loss of ten. New York and Ohio each
having an extra member. The redis-
trictlng in these three States alone
should give the Democrats the House
of Representatives on the vote of 1850.

For Governor.

AS the Democratic party will soon
be called upon to select their candidates
for the approaching election it is i'm
pOrtant that they begin casting about
for the most suitable man that can be
found for the various positions to be
filled. The most important of these is
that of governor, as the strength or
weakness of the ticket depends to a
large extent upon the character of the
man who heads the list, and around
whom the strength of the party is CEN
tered. a number of gentlemen prom
inent i'll the party have already been
mentioned in this connection, almost
any of whom would make strong race.
But however deserving each of these
gentlemen may be there is but one man
to be nominated for this responsible po-
sitiOn, and the aim of every true Demo
crat should be to secure the nominal
ton of man who is true to Democratic
principles and who will bring the great
est possible strength to the ticket.
Such man we believe to be the Hon.
Thomas FenlOn. of Leavenworth, who
is lifelong Democrat, an active. earn
est and faithful worker in the party; a
man of fine ability, well known and
personally popular throughout the state,
he would make a brilliant canvass and
draw around him stronger support we
believe than any other man who could
be selected for this position. With
such candidate for governor and a
platform that boldly meets the import
ant issues now before the people, follow
ed by an egreSsive campaign, the Dem
ocrats can win a greater victory than
that of four years ago.-Emporia DEM

sufficient leisure in which to develop
their intellectual; moral anu social fac
ulties; all of the benefits; recreation
and pleasures of association; III word
to enable them to share in the gains
and honors of advancing civilization.
8. The equality of both men and wO-
men, and equal pay for both sexes for
equal work"
Who cannot join hands with such a
move?

4 terrific storm struck Kansas City
Tuesday morning about 10 O'Clock,
doing untold damage. A school build
ing was destroyed, killing over a score
of children and wounding as many
more. The Court House was demol-
ished, killing the deputy sheriff and
recorder; the bridge across the Missouri
river was blown down, and buildings
destroyed without number. The city,
with its dead, wounded and dying,
wrecked houses, trees blown down, tel
egraph poles laid to the ground, women
and children screaming and homeless,
presented one of the most heartrend-
ing and sad scenes ever witnessed.

The laws of Kansas prohibit under
penalty the burial of the body of any
person who served in the union army,
in the potter's field. The funeral eX-
penses to the extent of fifty dollars of
such as die in poverty are chargeable
upon the county. Kansas is about the
only state to place such laws on the
statute books. 1t is one of the few
states where an overwhelming public
sentiment in their favor makes such
enactmentS possible.

A WONDERFUL TIDE,
Kansas Enjoying an Unprecedented
Immigration.

immigration.
The present year bids fair to chronicle
the heaviest immigration to this state
ever before recorded in a like period of
time. The trains ON the Sante Fe and
Union Pacific westward bound are daily
loaded down with homeseekers for
points in Kansas. The western and
southwestern portions of the state seem
to be the land of Canaan on which the
eyes of large majority of these people
are turned, and where year ago the
soil had never known the touch of a
plowshare, and the sound of hammer
was never heard, to-day fields of waving
grain and substantial buildings, in
many instances villages of no little
prominence greet the eye.
Yet the tide is not all to the west.
There is a class who are coming here
lin Abilene and Dickinson county
that homes may be obtained for their
children that may be purchased at
reasonable prices. These, as general
rule, have laid up a sufficient amount
to purchase lands in a more thickly
populated section than that west
With them come the brain, bone anG
sinew, of the young and rising genera
ton of the eastern states, which are 81
thickly settled that there is no room
for the increase, and as a result TIT
prominence of Kansas has led them II
look upon her as the Egypt in which
relief is to be found.
1t is estimated by those who are il
places from which such views may b.
had, that when the next census return
are in the increase in the population o
this state will be a surprise to even tn
most ardent, which fact will doubles
prove truce Commonwealth.

The Abilene Gazette for several
weeks has been very bitter inits denun-
Citations of the Knights Of Labor, espe-
cially the knights in Abilene. He is
beginning to repent of his foolish ac-
lions and is resorting to sneaking. The
truth of the matter is, ROhrer is an ig-
norant, coarse, brutal fellow, and as
editor of paper he is like the bull in
the China shop. His charges that Hen
~ Lifts is attempting to run the AS
sembly of the X. of l.. in this town is
silly, and when he claims he overheard
two Knights talking about the matter,
he is simply lying. The members of
Excelsior Assembly are not so easily
duped, as to lose sight Of the low
flung charges and dirty undetermined
articles which appeared i'll the Ga
zette'' day after day. His charges
against one of the editors of the Re-
FLECToR is done to work up prejudice
Henry Lifts has never attempted to
dictate to Excelsior Assembly. He is
willing to leave that charge in the hands
of the members of the Order. Rohrer's
attempted wit about the stencil of feet
shows a great mind. Mr.. George W C.
Rohrer, do you remember the dispositions
read in the court room in this county
seven or eight years ago wherein a wo-
man swore that, after a brutal fist had
struck her to the floor, a coarse heavy
boot, ION what kind of feet did you say?)
kicked her in the sides, and she enciente
at the time? Still we see attempted wit
about feet. The Gazette" says its
foreman, Winfield, belongs to the K. of
l.. Why does he not meet with them?
But what figure does that cut? Mr..
Winfield discharges whoever Rohrer
tells him to. He is not to blame. He
simply obeys his employer. Rohrer says
the discharged printer was admitted
into the Order on the strength of the
pious democratic EDITORS recommend.
He was hot recommended by any one
connected with the REFLECTOR Office.
The man is cripple, and as far as we
know, endeavoring to make an honest
living. 1t is very manly in you, Mr..
Rohrer, to ridiculea cripple for running
confectionery stand, very manly, Geo.,
very brave.

KanapOliS, Kansas, is spot OF
ground in Ellsworth county, which is
now being largely advertised by an
Eastern company as the Eden of the
world. Papers throughout Ohio and
Pennsylvania have flaming descriptions
of the country with cuts representing
fine three story public buildings, &c.
And so ''smOoth tOngued" are some of
the agents, that an eastern sucker was
caught with the bait that there would
be millions in 1.-THE enterprise of
pulling stumps,-sO this ''sucker anX-
iOus to make his ''millionS,' pulled on
the "tOw line" and bought a seven
hundred dollar ''Stump puller'' and it
went through this place last week for
the great city of Annapolis. Now the
fact is the said stump puller'' if used
at all, can only be in pulling up will
cactus and buffalo grass by the roots,
for nothing else in that section is
burdensOme to the ground. The idea
of stump puller'' in Western Kansas
is quite laughable to all Kansans.

a Question Asked,

1 wish to ask one question and will be much
pleased If some one of the ministers OF the Cos
pei OF Christ will answer The law of Moses for
babe the muzzling Of the OK that treadeth out the
corn, and we have this same command repeated
in the new testament. Now as the OK is simply
to represent the patient toilers of Earth and its
being muzzled is to represent that just share OF
the fruits OF toll is with held from the producers
of wealth of the world. What wish to know is,
what the church has done or is doing to have this
muzzle removed from off the patient OK of toiling
humanity. A SEEKER AFTER Truth.
