SOLEMN REFLECTION.

The Cleveland Leader, in its Sunday is
sue, refers to the fifth anniversary of the
death of James A. Garfield in the following
language:
To admirers of the highest type of
American craftsmanship and sterling man
hood, today, as the fifth anniversary of the
death of President Garfield, is an occasion
for solemn reflection 1t recalls the events
of that leaders life from the successes oi
his early boyhood to his lingering suffering
and death by the sea shore But promi
nently it brings to recollection the able DO
litical leaders weo then held the reigns of
government, and leaves US TO stare about
on the barren desert, dotted only by poli!i-
cal nonentities. who now fill the places of
their more illustrious predecessors in the
federal administration.

TOO THIN.

The Capital says that Attorney General
Bradford returned from Leavenworth yes
terday morning convinced that the saloons
of Leavenworth would not be closed as
long as they were in cahoot with the city
government and were paying the city a
stipulated license every month" Mr.. Cap
ital and Mr. Bradford, that is entirely too
thin. Leavenworth, as municipality,
nor as corporation, can be superior to
the laws of the state of Kansas. There is
no law against the Democratic party hold
ing ther state conventions in LeavenwOrth
for the purpose of passing resolutions in
favor of the saloon and setting up whisky
bottles as candidates, but when the attorney
general of the state of Kansas says that
the state of Kansas can't rise superior
to the whiskey mayor and council, and
the licensed dives and saloons, of Leaven-
worth, the matter becomes too serious to
be viewed longer as a joke. Wichita was
licensing some thirty to fifty saloons and
collecting many thousands of dollars reve-
nue. from them, and the city administration
was Democratic and in full sympathy with
the open saloon and dead set on collecting
the license, but the constitution and state
law were enforced and every open sa-
loon closed Wichita has no
doubt as many people as has Leavenworth,
not SO many drinkers nor SO many Demo
Gratis, perhaps, bu; good deal more life
and general git up and git. yet the law
has been enforced here, our officers going
so far as even to prosecute responsible bust
ness men who as druggists were not COM
plying as strictly to the letter and spirit of
the law as the officers thought they ought.
Mr. Bradford can close the saloons of Leaven-
worth otherwise the saloon keepers and
their friends in Leavenworth are greater
than the state.

WOMEN FOR WICHITA.

| On October 10Th and Goth Wichita is to
be honored with the presence of several
women who are robbing their homes of
their presence and gallaraping about the
country holding conventions in the interest
of female suffrage It's probable, howev-
er, that their homes don't miss them much
| The majority of men would rather no wife
at all that one of their build The unfor-
| tunate fellows whose names these women
bear are fit only for petticoats, no doubt
If they ever had the ambition or aim of
men that spirit has long since been ridden
and pecked out Of them. They vainly i'm
agine that they might yet be somebody if
their wives could but bring about
equal suffrage. Poor fellows,
in such an event they would amount to
even less than they do now These So
called wives of theirs, if they had their will,
would not only make these so-called hus-
bands their home-keepers, but would de-
prive them of the ballot, of their names and
of any chance of transmitting their names
or blood. But rs these unfortunate ones
have neither the courage or ambition of a
mouse it probably would make little diff
ference We sometimes think that had
these peripatetic wives been equally yoked, |
married to men who were just as much men
as they are women, that we would not be
compelled to the spectacle of roaming pet
tlcoated politicians, except now and then
in thesperson of some grim, stern, infllex
bic old maid whom no man would mate. |
One could put up with an occasional dose |
of Phoebe Cousins, Susan Anthony. and
DR.. Mary Walker, as one would with a |
diversion but the announcement thatxa |
whole string Of married women are to visit |
US in addition to the old maids. it breaks us |
all up

MISLEADING LIES.
From the Kansas Democrat.

From the Kansas Democrat
The Smith Center Bazoo says: "The
Republican press all over the state speaks
highly of Tom Moonlight, and we do not
believe they will dress their respective
journals in mourning when the news is
chronicled to the world that he has been
elected governor of Kansas"
There are about one hundred so-called
newspapers in the state of Kansas that
ought to be summarily wiped out of exist
ence, They deal wholly in imagination
and never in facts. The Bazoo is evidently
of the class aIldued to. Thos. Moonlight
is a renegade Republican, to which party
he owes all the prominence he ever enjoyed
as a civil or as military officer or as pol
itician. The proposition therefore that any
Republican paper worthy the name should
speak highly of this deserter is not only i'm
probable but the assertion is untruthful.
The Republican party as party will for,
give anything in man almost except the
crime of desertion.

Democratic papers claim that Vermont
Republicans did not poll as large ma jority
on the 9th inst. as they did for Garfield or
Blaine. Nevertheless a majority of 10000
in a total vote of 1000 seems to ue a suffi-
cient margin for all necessary purposes
Besides the Legislature is nearly Republic
can. Vermont leads the Republican
column of 1886 with 20, $50 majority in a
vote of 5i,112. The party prohibition
vote was 1872 Greenback and scattering,

The Kansas City papers criticise the
manner in which their fair was conducted
There was too much money grab on the
part of the officers and directors and too
little attention and too little money ex-
pended to make the exposition worthy of
patronage. The EAGLE is half inclined to
say that very thing about some other fairs

A man whose cnlightment at any time in
his life was sufficient to make him Repub-
lican can never 60 down to the level of
Democracy except through corruption or
the unworthy motive of revenge. ThoS.
Moonlight was a much bigger man in his
own estimation than he was in the eStima-
ton of the Republican party of the state.
This fact soured on him and he deliberately
committed political harikari. Nobody ever
regretted his action unless il was the Demo
cratic party which he had so outrageously
and vehemently denounced for years ana
which party has been compelled to cajole
him because of his influence with the
saloon interests and whisky men of the
state. Tom Moonlight has simply been a
soldier of hostages and a politician for bread
and butter. There is not Republican
newspaper in the state that cares straw
for Thomas Moonlight.

The National Liberal federation, the.
outgrowth Of Mr.. Chamberlain's for
saken caucus, has issued manifesto,
saying: Although the result of the
elections has no5 realized ODE hopes,
the situation is encouraging, the sup
porters Of half measures being thee
smallest group in Parliament. Mr.
Gladstone has secured the support of a..
vast majority Of the Liberals and Lib
era! organizations. AS far as the fed.--
Grafton is concerned, the results Of tl,e
appeal to the country completely Justify
the course taken by it's council. Greatly
as we regret our losses, the manner in,
which Liberals responded to Mr.. Glad
stones appeal proves that the fedora
tion represents the real opinion Of the
Liberal party, That party. being eon.--

land and Ireland, will never abanden,

and it was resolved that no measure Of

control over Irish affairs than does Mr..
Gladstone's be accepted. MIR. Parnell
proposed that heartfelt thanks be Of

throughout the world for the generous
sympathy and splendid moral and ma
terial support given to the Irish people

Lord Aberdeen Interviewed.

Lord Aberdeen was interviewed at
Kingston, Ireland, by a reporter, who
questioned him concerning the ovation
rendered to him at Dublin on his de-
parture from that city. Lord Aber-
deem said he had been impressed by the
good temper and courtesy shown by the
people who took part in the demonstra-
ton. The processionists were orderly ;
there was nothing in the actions Of the
great crowd which could have been con-
sidered aggressive or annoying to their
political opponents. IF it was dem

Aberdeen, sit was none the less an ex-

REASON TO ANTICIPATE


q week ago. On the Liberal side the
selection of Lord Randolph Churchill
has been received partly with annoy
ance, partly with delight. When Mr..
Gladstone FIRST heard of 1t he said some
thing about the degradation of the
House of Commons. The rank and file
of the party are disposed to treat Lord
Randolph's advancement as an affront
to themselves. They appear to think it
is kind of political proclamation for
their own pure and spotless cllief to be
succeeded by person whom they have
always regarded as political mounte-
bank of the worst type. Looking at the
matter as it affects the party prospects
they are inclined to regard Lord Ran
dolph's appointment with more appro-
val. When Sir William Harcourt
heard of it he chuckled and said (: ''We
shall be back in six months I'm
doubtedly the feeling is that Lord Ran
dolph will in q few months ruin the
government and his party. The strong
est admirers of the noble lord cannot
deny that there is some danger, His
political capacity is undoubted. He is
a brilliant, clever debater,' a prompt
parliamentary tactician, but has often
displayed recklessness and violence un-
befitting a British statesman. He has
too frequently played with principles
to be regarded as man with high ideas
of public honor. But i'll spite OF the
sins OF
Hls PAST CAREER
he may yet justify the choice. Lord
Harrington was not consulted as to the
appointment of Lord Randolph, but /
hear that he has expressed to Lord Sal
isbury grave misgivings as to it's pro-
priety. The front opposition bench in
the next Parliament will be an extraor-
dinary spectacle. All the men who have
ever teen in thsLiberal government are
to congregate there. Gentlemen who
have been fighting each other in the
country with excessive bitterness will
find themselves cheek by joWl. Mr.. Glad
stone will have Lord Harrington be-
side him. When Sir William Har-
court speaks he will often be answered
by Mr.. Chamberlain. Sir Henry James
will answer Mt. Morley. ALL the best
debating will be carried on between the
occupants of the front opposition bench.
Before long Mr.. Goschen and Sir
George Trevelyn Will be added to the
happy family. Then the front opposi
tion bench will find half its prominent
members constantly at issue with the
nominal leader of the Liberal party.
MIR. Gladstone does not relish the pros
pect, and direct intimation will he con-
veyed to Lord Harrington and to Mr..
Chamberlain that their presence is not
desired. I believe, however, that on
public grounds the leaders, both union-
ist and Liberals, will stick to their po-
sition and sit on the front opposition
bench. This is Lord Randolph's cabi-
net. Mr.. Henry Matthew's elevation is
entirely due to Lord Randolph, who is
very impulsive and vehement in his
likes and dislikes. He has taken on
Mr.. Matthews as his general legal adj
wiser and is generally guided by him as
much as he was in the old days by Sir
John Gorst.
