An Ecclesiastical Sensation in England.

From the New York Times London Special
The announcement that the archbishop of
Canterbury has decided to cite the bishop of
Lincoln before him on a charge of ritualistic
practices startles all ecclesiastical England.
DIR. King, who is personally the most popular
OF all GladstOne's Episcopal appointees, was
famous for years before his elevation to the
see OF Lincoln in 1885 as canon of Christ
church, Oxford, and regius professor of pas
torai theology, being in his influence over Ok
ford minds scarcely inferior to Dr. Newman in
preceding generation. He is q celibate and
believer in an unmarried clergy. For the past
two years photograph Of him, with a mftre.
crozier and elaborate vestments, surrounded
by clergy In similarly Romish apparel, has been
one Of the familiar features in all the displays
of portraits in the shop windows here. The
services in Lincoln cathedral since his conse-
Grafton have been ultra-ritualistic, and COM
plants by the low churchmen began long ago.
but II was only recently decided that the pri-
mate had jurisdiction over a bishop in such
matter. Even after this decision it was hoped
that Archbishop Benson would decline to pro-
coed to the action demanded by the church
association. His reported resolution to pro-
coed cannot but result in grave scandal and in
jury to the church, for DIR. King is deseryedly
honored all over England and fairly idolized
in the north.

Every Man, Woman and Child Paraded.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
One Of the most remarkable political process
sions probably that was ever known took place
at the little village Of Means, in Nelson County,
ON Friday night Every inhabitant of the
place except one man is q democrat to the
hearts core. The women, and even the chill
dren, are as ardent admirers of the "Star-eyed
Goddess OF Reform" as are the the male inhab-
ltants. So, Friday night, every house in the
place was locked up, and. with torches and Ian
Terms, the residents organized parade. The
ladies and children formed a part of il, and
when 1t started out there was only one person
IN the town: male or female, old or young, who
was not In the ranks. That person was the one
republican, but he, too, feeling the lonesome
ness OF his position, obtained a lantern and
Joined the parade. The demonstration was
Kept up Tor some time, and the people went to
bed happy in the feeling that they had nobly
acquitted themselves.

SHALL WE ABANDON SAMOA?
Bismarck is Carrying Things there with
High Hand for Germany.

From the New York Sun, to-day.
There's heap of trouble down in the beauti-
ful Samoan islands just now, so Mr.. Harold
Sewall, our consul to Samoa, says.
The half of the impositions on Americans
and the poor natives by the German govern
ment has not been told, said he to a sun re-
porter at the Murray Hill hotel yesterday. II
have been there about year and half, " he
continued, land must say that our position is
at present, and has been for months past, most
humiliating.
when the matter was presented to Congress
last year Secretary Bayard took a strong stand
for the true American position-a national gov
eminent, which should be independent and
have the recognition of three treaty powers,
and the understanding that We should not per-
INIT the control OF any one power. Nothing
definite was accomplished by our government
at that time, and SO the Germans stepped in
and did just what MIR. Bayard was aiming at for
US. 1t was upon the understanding with the
natives that no disposal was to be made of the
islands that the conference was held. Since
the Evarts treaty in 1872 the natives, who are
manly and intelligent, have always respected
and looked up to the United States government
as the best of the world, and because of their
allegiance to us the Germans prosecuted and
cured foothold They have thrown people into
prison for simply being in my employ, or for
speaking well of the Americans.
Il left Samoa in August on leave Of absence,
to come here and interest the government in
behalf OF the people there. The king, Tame
sese, had been deposed, and Siataafa was then
In power. The Germans had installed a clerk
as sort OF premier to represent them and their
interests, consisting chiefly of mammoth
trading store, kept by a firm with long name,
and good deal of land acquired in trading
operations. They have had Mr.. Wilson, the
English consul, removed because he coop
Grated with me; and when came away they
said they had driven me off the islands; but
they'll find they've not done anything of the
kind, for mean to see those natives righted
l shouldn't wonder if the Germans sent their
hve men-of-war there again, and attempted to
force the natives into submission II they do
there will be bloodshed. The population now
is 35. 0OO."
What remedy do you suggest to bring about
satisfactory result?'
Simply the assertion by the United States
OF Its rights. No fighting or bloodshed is
has full swing it may not be so easy by and by.
and beautiful in the Pacific, not even except
fully awake to the fact than We are. Cotton,
coffee and dried cocoanut are exported in
large quantities to New York, Hamburg, Liver
pool, Marseilles, Australia and New Zealand.
Now thahthe election is over, am going to
Washington at once to lay the subject before
the proper authorities, and hope to succeed
i'll accomplishing something, for l take per-
sonal interest in the matter"

FARMERS, ooNKENr1oN.

The board of trade of Wichita has
advertised farmers convention to be
held at that place next Tuesday. Dec
18th, for the purpose of considering
many questions of interest to the farm
ers of Southern Kansas, but more es-
pecially the question of better seed corn.
adapted TO our peculiar seasons. 1t is
announced that special rates Will be
given by the railroads and it is to be
hoped that Barber county Will be repre-
sented in the convention. Our people
should work with Wichita in every way
possible, for that is certain TO be the
metropolis for all of Southern Kansas.
IL will be to this part of Kansas what
st. Louis and Kansas City are to Mis-
sour, Illinois and Northern Kansas. II
We get any new railroads i'm this county
they Will head at Wichita; if we find a
convenient market for our live stock and
grain IL must be at Wichita. So Barber
county should get i'm the habit of atten.
ding Wichita conventions and working
with the giants who have put that city
on its present solid foundation. And
we know of no better time for inaugu.
rating the movement than next week al
the convention of farmers, II there j:

better seeds, Barber county will want

TIE SECRET BALLOT.

st. Louis Republic: 1.-The method of
voting in elections, invented in Aus
tralia, IS so simple and so effective
against fraud that 1t is coming into
high favor wherever it is known-ex-
cent where 1t is not desired that fraud
should be prevented.
1T makes the ballot really secret, so
that those who bargain for votes have
no means of telling whether the bar
gain Is carried out or not. The theory
is simple. The tickets are printed by
the state, all the names on one slip
aud those slips distributed at the polls
by state officer. The voter checks of
the names for which he wishes to vote
aud passing in a room where no one is
allowed to watch him, hands his ballot
to the judges. The names on the bal
lot slip are of party nominees and of
independent candidates supported by a
certain number of voters. The party
voter is furnished with a ticket 10y his
party committee so that he can check
of his candidates on the official slip
Ii he cannot read he can be furnished
with form" to lay over the official
slip so that holes cut in the form will
overlle his party candidate. He can
thus check them Off; or, if he is blind
a sworn officer is provided to check his
ballot for him.
This is very slight outline OF sys-
tenn which removes the worst evils OF
bossism, while, through the absolute
secrecy of the ballot, it makes success
full bribery very difficult. 1t would have
been adopted in New York but fOI
Gov. Hills veto in the interests of hi:
own canvass. With Improvements and
notifications it is likely to come into
general use in all the states, as each re
curing election makes the necessity fol
1t more apparent"

Roundup Items.

The most important item of this vic
Unity is the marriage of Mr.. Robert L..
GrOendycke to Miss Belle Talbot,
which took place at the house of the
brides parents, on Thanksgiving. We
wish them all the success and happi-
ness that this world can afford. Robert
played it rather fine on the young peo-
pie, in the way of keeping the mar
riage secret. Judge Hardy who Off
ciated so good-humoredly with his u.s.
ual pleasant smiles, had much to do in
the way of assisting Mr.. Groendycke in
keeping the matter profoundly still; so
much so that he kept your unworthy
servant in waiting and suspense until
high twelve on that day, awaiting the
Judges arrival to accompany us to Kio-
wa to spend Thanksgiving, and the re-
suit of which will be a settlement be-
tween the Judge and me on sight. All
shades of politics joined in giving the
above named bride and groom a grand
scramble. Some sickness among the
children of this vicinity, but all are i'm
proving under the care of Mrs. DIR.
Hamlin. IA splendid entertainment
was given at the Jones school house on
Thanksgiving eve by Mr.. L. G. Van
Benthusen, teacher. -. Wheat looks
well; stock dong fine. "A protracted
meeting is going on at the Julian school
house, conducted by the Rev. Foose.
