The coming campaign in this State will be the most
interesting and important in the history of the two
parties. The Legislature to be chosen will elect a
United States Senator, and the elements that will enter
into the contest promise to make the campaign a very
heated one.
THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS will be
no less interesting and certainly no less important.
This campaign is to be pushed with more than usual
vigor on both sides, and the INrELL1cENcER is so equip

formation concerning the campaign in aprompt manner
and attractive style before its readers.

Took All the Hurt Away.

A little boy and girl. each perhap:
five years old, were by the roadside,
this morning, on their way to school.
The boy became angry, and struck his
little playmate smart blow on the
cheek, whereupon the latter began to
cry, the big tear-drops filing her bright
blue eyes. The boy looked on sullenly,
a moment or two, and then said, in a
softened. penitent tone: Don't cry,
Katie; l didn't mean to hurt you,
and / am so sorry that l was bad and
struck you The little maiden's face
at once frightened, like the sun shin
ing through an April day, and she said,
in such soft accents: well, if you are
sorry you struck me, Willie, it don t
hurt; your saying SO has took all the
hurt away and brushing away the
pearly tear-drops, her face was as
bright and seraphic as though lit by a
heavenly vision of ETHEREAL loveliness.-

Ten Thousand Dollars the Maximum Re-
ceived by Newspaper Writers.
Generally speaking. it is safe to dis
credit all big stories. which are evidently
told for effect and from some sort OF
vanity. The man who volunteers to
tell you of his great earnings is usually
not TO be believed. Men who earn
largely are apt to keep the fact to them
selves. Journalists get fair salaries; as
a rule, as much as other workers in the
same grade do; but 81. 900, or e17. 900.
or sl5. 900. is palpable untruth.
Managing editors occasionally receive
SIC. 900 a year. and proprietary editors
are often paid highly for actual or
imaginary services. But no mere writer
for a newspaper can command any such
figures as have been reported. Five
thousand dollars Is generally the maxi
mum that any m. 4 can earn by his pen,
even in this. the at center and COM
mercial capital. re such labor Is
more literally r. 'ensed than any
where else. The perform pure

ENGLEWOOD, KANSAS.

The Star of the Western Empire is pie

of the Cimmaron River, in the center of a
large and beautiful yalley--the grandest
wheat. corn and grass gre wing country in
the world; destined to be the great rail-
road, commercial and manufacturing centre
OF sunny southern Kansas. because of nat
ural surroundings. beautiful location, and
the many railroads now projected and build-
ing toward il, being As it is the supplying
and Quitting point for the new Oklahoma
OF the west. The public land strip" (which
extends 100 miles to the south and west and
which comprises the most wonderful grain
aud grass producing soil on the globe, is
the great cattle field in the west. No other
town in western Kansas is so favor
ably situated to become a large city, and it
cannot be disputed that Englewood holds
the key to the commercial trade Of n vast
area of untold and ever increasing wealth;
its prospects are unequalled, and its rise
and progress bids fair to be unparalleled in
the history of this western country.
Englewood will not wait years for a slow
increase of population to bring it into no.
tice, as hundreds of other cities have done.

NAMES OF BATTLES.
Double Naming of Battle-Fields by North
ern and Southern Soldiers.

Double Naming of Battle-Fields by North
ern and Southern Soldiers.
The conflict of the 14th of September,
1862, is called the battle of South
Mountain at the North, and the battle
of Boonsboro' at the South. So many
battle-fields of the civil war bear double
names that we can not believe the
duplication has been accidental. 1t is
the unusual which impresses. The
troops of the North came mainly from
cities, towns and villages, and were.
therefore, impressed by some natural
object near the scene of the conflict and
named the battle from it. The soldiers
from the South are chiefly from the
country, and were therefore impressed
by some artificial object near the field
of action. In one section the naming
has been after the handiwork Of God; in
the other section it has been after the
handiwork of man. Thus, the first pas
sage of arms is called the battle of Bull
Run at the North-the name of stream.
At the South it takes the name of
Manassas, from railroad station. The
second battle on the same ground Is
called the Second Bull Run BY the
North, and the Second Manassas by the
South. Stones defeat is the battle Of
Balls Bluff with the Federals, and the
battle of Leesburg with the Con-
federates. The battle called by General
Grant Pittsburgh Landing, naeural
object, wasnamed Shiloh, after church,
by his antagonist. Rosecrans called his
first great fight with Bragg the battle OF
Stone River, while Bragg named it af-
ter Murfreesboro', village. So Nc
Clellan's battle of the Chickahominy, a
little river, was with Lee the battle Of
Cold Harbor. a tavern. The Federals
speak of the battle of Pea Ridge. of the
Ozark range of mountains, and the Con-
federates call it after Elk Horn, n coun-
try inn. The Union soldiers called the
bloody battle three days after South
Mountain from the little stream, Ante
tam, and the Southern troops named it
after the village of Sharpsburg. Many
instances might be given of this double
naming by the opposing forces. Ac-
cording to the same law of the unusual,
the war-songs of people have always
been written by non-combatants. The
bards who followed the banners of the
feudal lords. sang Of the exploits, and
stimulated them and their retainers to
deeds of high emprise. wore no armor
and carried no swords. So. too, the
imprisoned orators who reused our an
cestors in 1176 with the thrilling cry,
Liberty or Death. never once put
themselves in the way of a death by lead
or steel. by musket-ball or bayonet stab.
