THE FIF-TIETH CONGRESS.

Twenty legislatures were chosen, in
whole or III part, on Tuesday, which will
elect successors to United States senators
whose terms expire ON March 8 next.
Eleven Of the retiring senators are Re
publicans and nine are Democrats. If
eleven Republicans and nine Democrats
are returned the Republicans will have
forty-one members in the next senate and
the Democrats thirty five. The Republi-
cans are assured Of nine of the twenty
positions to be filed, and the Demo
Gratis Of ten, leaving New jersey in
doubt The Republicans, therefore, are
certain of having thirty-nine members in
the senate ard the Democrats thirty-six.
There will be Republican majority of
two in that body even if New jersey
chooses a Democrat The probability is
that that state will be found to have elect
ed Republican legislature, which will put
the Republican majority at four. In the
present congress the Republicans had forty
two in the senate and the Democrats
thirty flour
The following shows the political COM
plexion Of the delegation of each state to
the house of the next congress, according
to the latest figures received, the result in
Colorado still being in doubt:

WICHITA COUNTY CONTEST.

| To the Editor Of the Eagle.
| The contest between Leoti and Coronado
as candidates for the county seat of Wichi
ia county comes up this week. provided
| the census taker of Wichita county
turns up in time. He left Wichita county
last week in the night en- route to Topeka,
since which time he has not been heard
from. 1t is intimated that perhaps he has
had himself kidnapped to prevent putting
in his returns. The governor has ordered
him to file his report twice, but SO far has
asked further time ON one prctext or an
other
1t seems since the people of that county
have been deprived of their vote in the
last election through the connivance of the
party who have become known as profes-
sional county seat fighters throughout the
west, public opinion has generally gone to
the peoples town in that county and its
citizens have the sympathy of the state
officers.
These county seat contests have been
very annoying to Governor Martin, and
questions arise in them that require a
sound judicial mind to solve. In few in
stances the people have been overreached
by the speculative towns, but in the main
his appointments have been generally en-
dorsed OCCASIONAL

OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP.

A short time ago President Cleveland
felt constrained IL vindication of the rules
laid down by the civil service commission.
to remove from Office two persons holding
positions by appointment under his admin
iStration, their ofense being active partic-
ipation in political campaisning-makiug
speeches and otherwise doing party work.
The presidents attention is again called 10
similar and more offensive action bv two
other federal officers in this state. viz:
Ex-Governor Click and W. c. Perry, both
of whom took conspicuous part in the late
state Democratic convention and in the
subsequent campaign. Gov. Click is L.
S. pension agent at Topeka and Perry is L.
S. district attorney for Kansas. The
EAGLE has no faith in the civil service
humbug. but since it is in force and Mr..
Cleveland has started of in that direction !,
is fair that all should be treated alike. We
heartily agree with the sentiment of the
great soldier-president. Gen. Grant, that
the quickest way to get rid of an obnoxious
law is to strictly enforce il.
Wichita eagle., 1886-11-09

The dispatches this morning announce
the departure from Cincinnati yesterday
morning Of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Carlisle
for Wichita. The further announcement
is made that at the end Of The term in con-
greSs, for which he has just been elected
Mr.. Carlisle will probably change his
place Of residence and leave Kentucky per
manently. If that shall be his decision
there is no place that would accord him Il
more cordial welcome Than Wichita, what
ever may be his preferences. If Mr.. Car
Isle should remove from Kentucky We
would take it as evidence of his determine
ton TO retire from active political life, in
asmuch as he has had and can have for the
asking, ANYTHING he desires at the hands Of
his party in Kentucky that it is within its
power 10 bestow, and now enjoys next TO
the highest position in the nation, the gift
of his party at large. Mr. and Mrs. Car
Isle arrived in the city last night and are
the guests Of their son, Mr. ". x. Car
Isle. The city extends to them cherry
welcome.

1T BRINGS TO REMEMBRANCE.

| The announcement that the name of P
NJ. B. Young, Georgia, has been suggested
to the president as suitable person to sue
coed S. S. Cox at the Turkish court al
COnstantinopie revives a Renaissance OF
the war of the rebellion that had its sequel
| in Washington in 1867 DR. Young, who
was dashing leader Of Confederate cav
airy and who was il command of Lees
| vanguard in his march across the noun
tains from Chambersburg to Gettysburg,
Pa, was chosen by the people of his dis
trict in Georgia to represent them in con
gress along with the first delegation that
was admitted after the war. Young in
troduccd bill that he was very anxious to
have passed, and when it went to the com
mittee Of which the late Thadeus Stevens
was chairman he almost lost hope. He re-
solved, however, to do his best, and
sought Mr. Stevens in his private Office and
stated bis mission Mr. Stevens gave him
respectful audience and asked him who he
vast was early in the session and Young
new member. He frankly told Mr.
Stevens who he was; that he was the man
who commanded the rebel cavalry which
burned his (Stevens) great iron works, sit
uated between Chambersburg and Gettys-
burg, Pa.
Struck by his frankness, Stevens sprang
to his feet, grasped Young by the hand and
said: young man, admire your manli-
ness and courage; rest assured your meas
ure will receive favorable report by the
committee and I will do what I can to
secure its passage by the house
The bill passed, and this informal intro
duction ripened into warm friendship be-
tween the two men. The value of Stevens
iron works burned by Youngs command
was estimated at half million dollars
Wichita eagle., 1886-11-09

The brief announcement in the dis
patches this morning HAT butchers in the
east, notably al Albany, n Y, refuse to
slaughter or handle cattle shipped east
from Chicago on account of the trouble
there between knights Of Labor en-
ployes and the packing employers, would
seem 10 indicate that the trouble
growing out of the Chicago disagreement is
not to be confined 70 that city. For the
sake of the peace Of the country and the
common welfare we trust the disagreement
in Chicago may be speedily and perma-
nently adjusted. These repeated clashes
between employers and employees are harm
full in their effects to both parties, more
particularly to employees as they are usually
less prepared TO sustain the losses that in
evitably result from even temporary sus-
pension of business.
