Mr.. HorcHKIss, editor of the Wichi-
ia Beacon, declares he never was in
Atchison in his life, and that the aft!
davits published by the Champion are
perjuries. He promises to sue that
paper for $4,000 damages. If the
stories are untrue we hope he may get
a verdict. But, on the other hand, if
they are true, it is no more than could
be expected of a follower of the fat
man who is boss of the democratic par
| ty, but who is too smart to sue
anybody for SANDER, although worse
doings were laid at his door than even
the Wichita Beacon man is accused of.
Mr.. Hotchkiss would better take pat
tern after his master, and do no sueing,
unless, like Blaine. he wishes to get the
worst of it, even though he be innocent
as Blaine was.

Bafore and After.

The only State election of any i'm
portance, or that is in any way uncer-
tain, taking place between now and
November 6, when the candidates for
president are voted for, is the election
in Oregon which is held June 4. AS
this is an uncertain state, some impor-
lance will be attached to the result of
the voting there, as indicating the
drift of popular opinion on current
politics.-Emporia Democrat, May %,
1888.
.'Why Oregon went Republican" is
standing caption In many RepUbli-
can newspapers nowadays. The why,
is no great concern. When a RepubIi-
can State fails to go Republican, then
is there q reason for inquiring into the

THE Wichita Beacon a few days ago
devoted couple of columns to a write
up of Atchison, charging that there
were nearly hundred saloons running
in that place, and accusing Governor
Martin of favoriteism, ETC., toward his
home city. 1t now develops that the
Beacon men got across the river and
loaded up with Missouri tanglefoot I'M
til they didn't know their own names,
and it now looks as if they had not so
bered up when they wrote the article
referred to above, as the Champion
comes out with aiiidavits which prove
that the Beacon men spent their time
while in Atchison in the company of
harlots and other disreputable people,
and are, therefore, unworthy of belief.
The Beacon's story is also refuted by
affidavit by the mayor and marshal of
Atchison.

fore Judge Fletcher on the charge of
disorderly conduct and using obscene
language. Messrs Hobbs. Wooster,
Coley. Best, Greenway, Fritz, White
and DIR. Sherburne swore that very
obscene and profane language was
used. The prosecution then rested
their case, when Labborn swore that
he knew what he was about and used
no bad language. His wife and son
also swore that he used no language
that was obscene OF profane. and spoke
only to his own family.
Labborn was fined 500 and costs and
sixty days in the county jail.

THE Quebec legislature is to be
asked to vote a sum of money to pre-
vent the exodus of the people to the
United States. 1t appears that in one
week not less than two hundred per-
sons, men, women and children, left
for the manufacturing districts across
the border, and that certain Quebec
parishes are in danger of depopulation,
owing to this constant drifting of the
people. The Kanucks should not get
excited over this exodus business.
The influx of defaultIng bank cashiers
and other thieves from the United
States ought to about equalize the ex-
change of population.

ROYAL GEORGE.
From the American Guilty.

From the American Cultivator.
Several months ago we learned that
gentlemen living in Canada who knew
the stallion Royal George, from which
has descended a number of noted trotters,
were not inclined to accept the pedigree
given him by the author of the "Ameri-
can Trotting Register Believing that
any new facts which might be brought
to light concerning the origin of the pa
ternal ancestors of the game speedy Black
Whirlwind of the East, as Thomas Jetfer-
son q :23) was Familiarity known, a letter
of inquiry was sent to F. A. Ashbaugh,
Esq, of Hamilton, Ontario, to whose
courtesy we are indebted for the follow
ing interesting facts:
HAMILTON, Nov. 20, 1887.
editor OF THE AMERICAN CULTIvA-
oR:-Just one year ago | received a
letter from you asking if could enlight-
en- you concerning the pedigree of
Old Royal George. | wrote you
at once that believed the correct pedi.
gree had never been published, and from
information l now possess | find | was
right. Although can trace the breeding
back little farther than stated, yet the
origin of the grandsire and grandam will
probably always remain shrouded in
mystery.
sold Royal George was dark brown
siXteen-handed horse, foaled 1914, got by
Barnes's Warrior. Warrior was got by
an imported horse, afterward taken to
Long Island, and was out of mare by
old Black Tippoo. Amos Barnes, who i:
still alive, bought Warrior from a Mr.
Cushman, who knew both the sire ano
dam of that horse, but could not give
any other pedigree. The Tippoo family
has been pretty well traced out. Ac.
cording to the published records of the
Ontario agricultural commission, the
Tippoo family originated with Isaac
Morden of Prince Edward county, neal
Belleville, in 1916 or 1918. The origina
founder was Old Black Tippoo, which
was the produce of mare brought tc
Canada from the States by a preacher
named Howard. This mare was in foa
when Mr.. Morden got her, and produced
the black colt in 1917.
81 believe you have already unravelled
the Tippoo mystery, therefore l leaye
