KANSAS AND NEBRASKA

These are by far the brightest and
most vigorously growing of the
trans-Missouri states, and the reason
of their exceptional prosperity seems
to be found not alone in the fertility
of soil and natural features so ad-
mirably adapted to stock-raising as
well as grain growing, but also in
the thrift, intelligence and high
character of those who settled these
two states. In the quantity and
variety of agricultural productions,
in educational facilities, in public
buildings, aud thriving cities they
rival many Of the older states. The

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


WASHINGTON, Aug 10, l8ss.
Gen. Sheridan's remains arrived
here yesterday, and the body was
taken to st. Matthew's Church, where
il will remain until the funeral to-
morrow. The church is elaborate
" decorated with black and the
American flag, while the high cata-
faloue is surrounded with beautiful
foliage plants and flowers; on the
left of the altar is the Cardinals
throne, heavily draped with black.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed by Cardinal Gibbons, who dur
ing the requiem mass will, at the re-
quest of Mrs. Sheridan, make a few
remarks on the life, character, and
achievements of the dead soldier.
The procession from the church to
Arlington cemetery will be strictly
confined to that prescribed by Army
regulations for the funeral Of a
commander in chief. In spite of
the fact that many persons here eN-
peoted a fatal termination of his
disease from the first, his death has
cast a gloom over the people that Is
likely to remain for some time. He
WAS q true aud faithful servant 70
this country, and has well earned
the rest upon which he has now en-
tered.
This time of year has long been
known in the newspaper world as
the "silly season." which fully ae-
counts for the absurd story sent out
from here, that Senators Allison,
Aldrich, and Hiscock, members Of
the Senate subcommittee engaged
in framing tariff bill, were to 60
to New York to confer with Mr..
Blaine about the proposed bill The

The Vital Issue.

After all discussion upon the
tariff question, it may be admitted
that the main difference between
republicans and democrats in the
matter Of reducing the surplus in
come of the government is differ.
ence of method. We regard this
difference of method as important;
involving great interests and worthy
of careful consideration. But as
compared with another question at
issue in this campaign 1t is of minor
consequence. This oyershadowing
and most vital issue is the securing
of a free, unawed expression of the
will Of every legal voter at the
polls, and au honest counting of the
ballots cast. No corruption is
fraught with 30 much Of danger to
the perpetuity Of this country, and
none so destructive of the rights
and liberties Of the people as cor
ruption OF the ballot. Under the
present administration of the gov
eminent the elections are admittedly
dishones.. The returns themselves,
made 10y those TO whom the benefits
thereof accrue, is the only evil
oence necessary in support of this
assertion,
Those returns show that through
out large portion Of the South
not more than one.ifth to one-tenth
as many votes arc cast for the cleo
ton Of congressman as the average
throughout the northern states. In
the state Of Georgia, it appears by
the returns that ten democratic con-
qye8smea ,cere elected IN 1856, the
total cote in ten districts BEING only
2o,576. This, be it remembered, is

The path of the American citizen,
who may become candidate for
office, is filled with suares and pit
falls. Here is Mr.. Morton charged
with having once employed some
Italian laborers on his grounds, or
in his garden, This is said to be uu-
true, but how could Mr.. Morton or
anybody else foresee that change in
public opinion which now holds it a
grave political misdemeanor to have
given employment to the country
men Of Dante, Raphael, Calico,
Columbus and Cayour? Any man
who expects to run for Office and
who wants a job Of work done can
not be too careful about inquiring
as to the nativity Of persons who
wish to do the work. Even then he
will be liable to make mistakes. If
The tide of Italian immigration con-
tiuues to pour in, it may in few
years be disastrous to q mans politi-
cal fortunes not to have employed
Itali an laborers

named was not necessary, though 1t
was promptly made. The republi-
cans of this country know the abill-
ty and experience of the members
of the Senate committee on finance
too well to think for moment that
any conference with outsiders will
ever be necessary, to perfect any
measure which may come before
them.
Senators Sherman and Evarts
made speeches against the fisheries
treaty this week, and in spite of the
many speeches already made in OPP
position to this treaty, both gentle
men made new and convincing points
against its ratification. In the course
of his remarks, Mr.. Sherman made
the prophecy that Canada would be
represented in the American Con-
gress within ten years, in othe r
words, would be annexed to the
United States. These words, COM
ing from a statesman of Mr. Sher-
mans experience, have created a
genuine political sensation here, and
coming too, just at a time when
Canadian matters of various kinds
are exciting much interest. Do we
want Canada? Does Canada want
to come to US? Would England allow
a peaceful annexation, even if a
majority of the people in both
countries wished it? These are
questions that are being asked on
every hand, and only the future can
answer any of them correctly.
General Schofeld, the new COM
mander of the Army, has a good re-
cord, and will doubtless fill the
position with credit to himself and
to the Government.
The fact that the Malone and
anti-Mahone republicans of Virgin
ia have made friends, has caused
the republicans to count very hope
fully on carrying that state this
year. In the Congressional cleo
tons of 1886, the republican MAORI
ty in the State was more than 49,
900. Why not the same this year.?
Senator Morgan has given notice,
although in a somewhat irregular
manner, that the democrats intend
to postpone to the last minute vote
upon the fisheries treaty,
The Senate has, without a divis-
ion, passed Senator Stewards Chi
nese bill, which will virtually pro
hibit immigration from China to
this country.
Mrs. Captain Sidney Smith Lee,
widow of brother of Governor Lee,
of Virginia, made application to the
police Of this city this week for
bread for her children. Her husband
died here last April; he left about
$4,000 to his children, but one Of
his brothers was appointed admins
traitor, and the poor widow was in
formed that she could get no money
before the expiration of the legal
limit-twelve months. The secret
of this unjust treatment is hatred.
The Lee family never in any man
ner recognized Captain Lee after he
married, as they thought, beneath
his social station. What a com
mentary on our boosted civilization
is case like this.
Senator Farwell has introduced a
bill in the Senate to give Mrs. Sheri-
dan a pension Of $4,000 a year.
A committee of the House has re-
ported in favor of abolishing the
steam plate printing presses now in
use at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, and the printing of all
Government securities on hand
/ presses.

which aroused the greatest enthusi-

sion was the emphatic statement, 81
have no sores to heal" This called
forth the most stirring cheers, and
it was Immediately followed by the
assertion that he would rather have
such a cordial welcome as he had
received than any Office that could
be bestowed upon him. Mr.. Blaine
spoke words of most hearty approval
Of the Republican candidates. He
pronounced General Harrison SO
man Of civil experience, q man Of
heroic record in the war, a man of
great purity Of character, a man Of
great frmness." Equally high praise
was bestowed on Mr.. Morton. This
is q sufficient earnest Of Mr. Blaine's
purpose TO do all in his power for
the success Of his party, which he
believes to be vitality necessary to the
welfare and prosperity Of the
country.

CINCINNATI Commercial Gazette:
Grover Cleveland is the first Ameri-
can President who has demeaned
himself by attempting to be funny
at the expense of crippled and un.
fortunate veterans Of patriotic war
He stands alone in this, in its bad
eminence, among the rulers Of mod
ern days. Only a few weeks ago ne
was indecently arraigning a soldiers
widow. This he followed with de-
nouncing q brave officer, who died
from his wounds, as a drunkard, He
opened his long series of vetoes OF
private pension bills with gibes and
Jokes at the expense of impover
ished and invalid defenders of the
flag. He has throughout his indus
trious laboIs in this line improved
every excuse, and in most cases con
structed an excuse, for questioning
the moral character or the persona
habits Of both soldiers and soldiers
widows. What is there in the former
life or private character of Grover
Cleveland that fits him to cast stones
at any one? We do not recall any
thing. When before has the Presi
dental Office been prostituted t.
such uses? 1t is time for universe
American manhood and womanhooc
to cry out against these Executive
assaults upon helpless and poverty
burdened widows and crippled vet

Under The English Flag.

Some weeks ago the United States
awarded to an English manufactur-
er the contract for furnishing the
American army with blankets. The
English manufacturer was enabled to
slightly underbid American man
ufacturers, because articles and sup
plies imported for government use
are exempt from duty, and the Eng
lishman therefore had the advantage
over bis American competitors and
secured the contract. The govern
ment stands in the same relation to
the producer that private individuals
would under free trade. And so
the men who are doing military SER
vice for Uncle Sam will wrap them
selves up in blankets made in a rival
and foreign country. Bat an in
stance has just transpired more NOR
tifying than that. The government
has made an appropriation of sever
al millions of dollars to dredge New
York harbor. The authorities of
the war department have awarded
the contract for this dredging to an
English syndicate which owns and
operates a large dredge, now in the
New York docks, called the State of
Alabama. The principle on which
the dredge operates is to suck the
sand and mud up from the bottom,
through a pipe, and transfer it to a
vessel which carries it out to sea
and dumps it. Both the dredge and
dumping vessel thus to be employed
within the shadow of the great
statue of liberty will soon be at
work for the United States govern
ment on a five million dollar con-
tract, flying at the mast head the
British flag. This administration
is showing in all ways possible its
favoritism for British things and
British interest in public matters,
and it is also determined that the
people individually shall do com
mercial Difference to goods put up
with British labels.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes inev-
liable. In many instances the inherent
strength Of the BODY suHices to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases little aid to the weakened
Lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years Of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
