Thursday morning Sheriff Worster
accompanied by L. Vernon, N. White.

and surprised the Labborn family.
The sheriff for his authority had an
order to enforce a judgment in favor
of the city by the district court on the
second of March to vacate the premises
that had been condemned for public
purposes. Labborn filed his intention
to appeal to the supreme court and was
iven time to file his appeal bond, but
through negligence or oversight the
time had elapsed and the attorneys for
the city took the benefit of
he failure of Labborn to
file his bonds, and got out this order
of the court. The sheriff and his
posse went to the premises and read
the order to vacate. LabbOrn and his
family refused to vacate when the
sheriff and his men removed the house

CANADIAN INDEPENDENOE.


The "Kanucks'' are not all so loyal
to the mother country as some opti-
mists suppose, and have aspirations
for national existence and independ-
ence. On this subject the Sarnia,
(Canadian) Sun says:
1.-The grandiloquent talk of those men
who are trying to boom imperial feder-
alton is having one good effect at any
rate-it is waking up Canadians to a
realization of the fact that If this coun-
try ever becomes great and prosper
GUS nation it must strike out for itself.
Canada should have the treatymaking
power; she should have the right to
select her own chief magistrate; her
own higher courts should be final; and
there are a great many other powers
which this country should have before
she can make those rapid strides
toward greatness, which from her po-
sition, resources aud people should nat
urally come.
This talk of imperial federation is
all humbug. nothing more than q
dream; for there is nothing practical
about it. Canadians, true ones, love
Canada first, and they do not care to
tie their country down to take its laws
from foreign parliament, be forced to
contribute men and means toward Eu-
ropean wars, and be in jeopardy every
moment of her existence OF having
what liberties she now has legislated
away. The temper of feeling of the
true Canadian is against such things.
He feels that he has here country of
which he may be proud; that will some
day rank among the foremost. Is he
then inclined to wreck his country for

Mr.. M. NJ. HAM, for many ye ars
the Iowa representative on the Iowa
national democratic committee, speaks
with confident hope of the democrats
carrying that state. He says that
everything points that way. Cleve-
land is a popular candidate ia Iowa.
Tariff reform is poplar issue, and
for the past few yearS-all these
things, Mr.. Ham says indicate demo-
cratic success there this fall.-PatriOt.
Mr.. Ham lives in the strongest demo-
cratic stronghold of the state-Du-
buque county. And democracy is so
weak just now in that county that a
citizens ticket carried every Office in
the county seat a few months ago.
Mr.. Ham was one of the leaders of the
citizens movement, too. At the state
convention two sets Of delegates were
present from this county, contesting
for seats, and the democracy of Du-
buque were badly split up the back.
All this, too, is the work of Mr.. Ham
and his postoffice clique, who pre-
ferred to ruin because they could moi
rule in a manner similar to that Of
Grover at st. Louis. If Mr.. Ham car
make no better showing for democracy
in his state than he does in his county
he would better keep silent. Blythe
way, this Mr.. Ham, who is postmaster

Office came near being thrown into thu

writer of this had the honor to belong

termined to destroy it because of it,

a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Kansas Pension Service As
ISOLATION took place at department
headquarters of the G. A. r. Wednes-
day night, for the purpose of advancing
the interests of the association in this
state. Among other business trans
acted was a resolution admitting all
citizens, both male and female, to hon.
orary membership on payment of the
regular fee. Among those present
from abroad were E. z. Park, of Usage
Mission, president of the association;
J. Garrison, of Lyons, secretary; and
the following members of the executive
committee: w. H. Caldwell, chair
man, Beloit; 7. F. Norris, secretary,
Lawrence; and Comrades Baker, of
Atchison, and 1. A. Taylor, of Hart
ford; also NJ. o. Frost, of the Knights
and Soldiers, of Topeka.
The meeting was very harmonious,
the general feeling being that the de-
pendent pension bill having been so
mutilated and now being virtually
killed in congress, it was expedient that
all favorable to laws calculated to give
the veterans their just dues should
unite on something which would meet
with the concurrence of the masses,
and which was calculated to do justice
to all.
The executive committee of the Kan
sas Service Pension association held an
interesting meeting in the Hotel Whit
ley parlors Thursday Among 9th.
Ell important measures discussed, the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Service Pension
association of Kansas, representing
I2I 900 ex-uniOn soldiers and sailors
through their executive committee, il
session in the city of EmpoFia, Kansas
June IA, do hereby demand that thC
Kansas delegates to the national re
publican convention, to be held in Chi
cage June 10, do all in their power tt
secure the adoption of plank in theil
platform recognizing the principle of {
| service pension to every honOrably dis
| charged union soldier and sailor.
Captain D. Baker Of Atchison wa
delegated to represent the association

snonass of Prohibition .


IN the course of speech before the
State Temperance Union, at Topeka,
on Tuesday, Governor Martin gave
this testimony to the success of prohi
bition in Kansas:
During the past four years l have
had, think, a fair opportunity to learn
what has been accomplished in this
State. have visited nearly every sec
ton of it, and have talked with officers
or citizens of every county. 1 have
watched, with interest, the course of
events, and the development of public
sentiment touching the temperance
question. certainly have no reason
to misrepresent the condition of affairs
in Kansas. have never made any
secret of the fact that 1 voted
| againt the prohibition amend
ment. 1 cannot, therefore, be
suspected of a desiIe to vindicate
my own original judgment when de-
clare, as do, that in my opinion this
State is to-day the most temperate, or
derby, sober community of people in
the civilized world. l realize. fully
the force of this statement, and an
prepared to sustain it. here or any
where. l assert in the most positive
language, that the temperance laws Of
Kansas are enforced as earnestly, as
fully and as effectively as are any
other laws of our statute books, or a:
are the criminal laws of any othel
State in the Union. Whenever Oh
wherever liquors are sold in Kansas al
all, they are sold just as all Other
crimes are committed, namely, in Sc
cret-as houses are robbed, or horse:
are stolen, and by men who live in
daily and hourly terror of the law"

pLITMR,9 LETTER.

Last evenings Democrat begins a
lengthy editorial as follows:
Why is it that none of our republican
contemporaries comment on the con-
tents of the letter written some weeks
ago by Senator Plumb to a friend in
this state, in which he said 1.-THE pros
pect of the republican candidate for
president is gloomy indeed. About our
only hope is in Cleveland's making a
mistake, which is not at all probable. -"
The answer is simple: Because Plumb
never wrote any such letter, and the
editor of the Democrat knows, or
should know, that this story has been
refuted. If Plumb wrote any
such nonsense as the above ''some
weeks ago. let the Democrat man pro-
duce it, or the person who received it.
or shut up.

THE Democrats are stin hoping for
the report of a ''local issue" in Oregon
to account for the astounding Republi-
can majority recently given there; but
it doesn't come. 1t will never come.
The issue upon which the contest
turned in that State is shown in the
following from the Oregonian, one of
the leading papers of Oregan, publish
ed a few days before the election:
1.-The main issue of this campaign
is the question Of protection to Amer
lean industries and unfolding the dig
nifty of American labor. The main is
sue of the campaign for the November
election will be the same. 1t is the di-
viding line between the. two great
parties. The issue is plainly made
and must be openly fought. There is
no room for political copperheads in

blaine and thu Irish.


Under the above captain an editorial
was published in recent issue of the
Emporia Democrat, wherein the writer
asserts that the Irish who voted for
Mr.. Blaine in 1884 did SO under the
impression that Mr., Blaine was an un-
relenting enemy of England, and that
as president of the United States he
would in some mysterious way turn
the influence of his administration in
favor of the Irish cause" This asser-
ton is wrong and misleading. The
Irish American citizens have amalga-
mated themselves with the American
people. They are here to stay and in
their patriotic love for the institutions
of free America they stand second to
none. 1t is as American citizens they
vote and take such a deep interest IN
the welfare of their adopted country.
Mr.. Blaine is admired by them because
he represents IN prominent
degree, their idea of Ameri-
can craftsmanship. They admire
him because he, more than any Other
living man, represents the great issue
of protection to American Industries:
because he is more American than En-
glish, and to use the words of General
Bragg. when referring to the Irish
| American delegates who opposed Mr.
| Cleveland's nomination, 1--WE love him
| for the enemies he has made"
1t is for these reasons that large
number of the Irish-American citizens
voted for Mr.. Blaine in 1884 and will il
| 1888 if he is a candidates; but while
| their admiration for Mr.. Blaine per
sonaIly is very great their admiration
for the great principle Of protection t.
American industries is above and be
yond every other motive, and when tn
vote of the doubtful states is COUNTIES
in November it will be found that TO
| every irish vote given to Mr.. Blaine il
1884 two will be given to the American
candidate representing protection.
It is an undeniable fact that Eng
land never advocated any measure t
benefit American institutions, an
when all England advocates the caus
of Cleveland and his free trade doC
trine it is time for American citizens
more especially those of Irish birth, t
hesitate before casting their vote 70
, Democratic candidates and in fave
, of England as against America. Will
in the past large numbers of Iris
Americans have identified themselve
: with the Democratic party, they wi
not be deceived in the coming can
paign for they are intelligent enoug
to know that free trade means til
commercial dominion of England owe
America. Is it possible, is it reasonably
to expect to find those of Irish brit
or blood fighting the cause of Englan
against the beloved land of thei
adoption? They are patriotic Amer
can citizens to the hearts core, an
when they understand the great ques
ton at issue in this campaign they wi
be found voting for American freedOI
and industrial independence.

WHOEVER the next vice president
may be, he will be the first to take his
seat under the new succession law
passed two years ago. The old act of
1902 provided that in case of the death
of both president and vice president
the president of the senate, or if there
should be none, the speaker of the
house, should act as president. 1t
further required special election to be
held in such emergency for the choice Of
of another president and vice presi-
dent. Under its operation an admins
tratiOn might pass from one po-
litical party to another against the will
of the people; for example, a democrat
ic president might die, and a republican
president of the senate or speaker of
the house become president. But the
most serious defect in it was it might
leave the country without designated
successor to the presidency. This Oc-
currred when President Garfield died,
aud again when Vice President Hen
bricks died. These evils are not posi-
bic under the present system. The
succession is now, in case of the re-
moval, death, resignation or inability
of both the president and vice presi-
dent, vested in the members of the
cabinet in the following order: Score
tary of state, secretary of the treasury
secretary of war, attorney general,
postmaster general, secretary of the
navy, secretary of the interior. In
case the duties of the Office devolve
upon any member of the cabinet he is
to act as president until the disability
is removed or new president is regu.
larry elected. There is to be no special
election. A foreign born secretary il
barred from the succession, which, in
such event, would pass to the next in
line.

THB EEVNET PARTY.

Friday night at the residence of F. G.
Newman, corner of Tenth and Consti-
tuition, party was given that will long |
be remembered as one of the most
pleasant affairs in the history of EN-
poria. The house is one of the finest
in the city, and the rooms were beauti
fully decorated with flowers and plants.
The porcheS were handsomely deco
rated. The lawn was lighted with /
Chinese lanterns and the electric light |
was put in for the occasion. On the
south side of the house platform was
built for dancing. 1t was very
nicely decorated and covered
with canvass and bunting. On
the south porch lemonade
well was arranged. 1t was covered
with moss and flowers, and with its
cooling beverage attracted a large
amount of attention. Tables were ar
ranged in the upstairs rooms for card
playing. Rasmussen's orchestra fur
nished music for the dancers. At IL
O'Clock elegant refreshments were
served, including ice cream, cakes,
and fruits. Not until after O'Clock did
the guests dispense. Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Severy, Miss Mae Flory and Ed.
Green stayed after the rest of the
guests departed, and they with the
members of the family had little
private dance which was highly en-
joyed by those who had made the even
ing so pleasant for everybody. Dur
ing the evening Prof. hartman sang
