KENOsHA, Aug. 18th. 1883


The Post feels constrained to add its
mournful voice to the swelling requiem
whose solemn strains resound through
out the length and breadth of the land,
affectionately commemorating the
splendid patriotism and glorious mill
tary achievements of our late departed
comrade, General Philip Henry Sheri-
dan, who answered the last call Of the
Supreme Commander on Sunday last,
August fifth.
Another Of the great American trium.
virate is gone. Sheridan, of Winchester,
has followed Grant, of Appomattox.
May Sherman, who marched from At
lanta to the sea, be long spared to us.
Sheridan has been compared to Napo.
leon; but be it remembered there was
no Waterloo in the Shenandoah Valley.
Napoleon fought for personal aggran-
dizement; Sheridan for righteous
cause. Sheridan's brilliant achieve
ments need not the added lustre of com.
parison with the deeds of other men.
Who can gid the refined gold of such a
career? Grant said of Sheridan: He
is not only one of the great generals of
the war, but one of the greatest the
world has ever known" While. de-
ploring the untimely death of our dis
tinguished comrade, let us remember
that his deeds were sufficient to make
illuStriOl1s a score Of names.

KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA.

Judge Gregory and II. c. st. John of
Garden City were interviewed recently
upon the subject Of opening Oklahoma
and in answer to the question OF what
effect it would have upon the future of
Kansas, the first named gentleman said:
[ believe it would be best to open
Oklahoma as soon as possible If the cor
rupt lobbyists, who have schemes On
foot in connection with it, can be check
mated and the land held strickly on
actual homestead purposes. The injury
to Kansas will be slight, and temporary.
Every available acre will be snatched up
in few weeks and the overflow into
Kansas will compensate us many fold
for all we lose at first. Speculation
viii run riot, people will pay many
times what land is worth in the
excitement, simply to get claims;
rival town fights will be numerous,
bitter, and in the end will be costly to
many: but that will be the case when
ever it is opened and it may as well be
done sooner as later. Oklahoma is
merely an Ideally that can only be re-
moved by giving people their coveted
chance to overrun it.
III. 4. ST. John, land attorney, says:
eyes, Oklahoma ought to be thrown
open for settlement. 1t is a fine body of
land has timber water, coal and min
erals; the Indians don't need it and il
would furnish homes to many people
who do need them, and closer to civiiiza-
ton than any other government land.
1t won't injure Kansas a particle, but
will make an additional market on what
we raise. 1t would be good thing and
the sooner the better"

CRIMINAL STATISTICS,

Some interesting statistics of crime in
the United States are given in paper
read by +. II. Wines at the Boston
Prison congress- They are compiled
from the United States census of 1880,
The largest ratio. of prisoners to popula-
ton is found among the colored popula-
ton. The ratio of prisoners TO popula-
ton for the foreign born is nearly double
that for the native population. The
figures show that crime is proportion
ately prevalent among immigrants from
different nations i'll the following order,
beginning with the worst: West Indies,
Spain, South America, China, Italy
England, British America, Russia,
Switzerland, Holland, Scandinavia and
Austro-Hungary. Texas and California
furnish the largest number of murderers;
Pennsylvania of forgers; New York of
counterfeiters; Texas of mail robbers;
North Carolina and Tennessee of Illicit
distillers: Massachusetts, of offenders
against the law of chastity; and New
York. Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania
of the drunkards. Leaving out the
juvenile criminals in reformatory in
stitutions. there were $500 actual
criminals in the prisons OF the country,
nine-tenths of whom were males.
Among these prisoners, in round num-
bers, were 1000 murderers, 5000 per-
sons convicted of assault, 1000 of rape,
1900 OF burglary, nearly 1000 highway
robbers, 1000 forgers and nearly 1900
common thieves. The average was

THE CRUSADE AGAINST TRUSTS.

Pasadena. Col, Union.
We shall find that in nearly all things
there will be little change in the ma
chinery caused by the election. The
great monopolists that have been the
| outgrowth of the last twenty years of the
governments life, are just as threatening
as they were when the president pro-
nounced against them, and congress con-
sidered its various plans for relief, even
to the very last DAYS of its session.
Suits have been recently begun in San
Francisco to dissolve the corporation
known as the American Sugar refinery,
on the ground that it has become mem
Der of the sugar trust. In New York the
same proceedings against members of the
trust are going on, the prosecutors taking
the ground that the franchises granted to
corporations must not be used for any
combine" with others, but are to be
solely exercised in the business of the
corporation itself: and when it gives UP
its control of its own affairs by entering
a combination. it cannot keep its orig
inal corporate charter and its franchises,
since they were not granted for any
such purpose.
The corporations will resist the action
lSihCi dEottlflSC tHcIli Oii LILO S1O0Id tude
corporations have the same right to
combine into trust as individuals have
to unite in a partnership. This is only a
superficial view of the case. In the cor
poration its possibility in the way of
capital is limited in no such way as the
ordinary partnership, whose character is
only individual, ever if having many in
dividuals in it. 1t cannot, IN the first
place, perpetuate itself. 1t is dissolved
by any members death, and its whole
tenure is constantly limited and re-
pressed. But the corporation is a crea-
ture of the law with powers granted
that supplement- the powers of the indi-
vidual, and yet not to harm other indi-
viduals, but to do good to them. AT
least this is the theory upon which these
privileges and franchises are asked, and
they must be lived up to.
The trust is simply an alliance be-
tween corporations that in practice
works a conspiracy against individual
and community rights and interests.
Can these creatures of laws combine to
defeat the laws that are supposed to be
formed to help individuals and the COM
munity? This is the whole question. We
do not think they can.

CITIES OF KANSAS.
From the Newton Reunblican


1t has been suggested that the legisla-
ture limit the present but vast indefinite
powers of governments of cities of the
first and second class. The legislature
cannot be expected to rise to the point
of abolishing these absurdities alto
gether, but the power, freely exercised
by such of confiscating and destroying
private property, and of endangering
the public health should certainly be
made the subject of controlling legi5la-
ton. A city council, aided and abetted
by laundering city engineer and a
worthless street commissioner, has here
tofore been subject to no control. They
have not one, but many times, entered on
private grounds, destroyed the labor of
years, torn up and rendered impossible
for months together public and private
thoroughfares; destroyed natural drain
age and filled a city with miasma and
death, under the single pretense of ''im-
provement." The measure of relief pro
posed is mild one, it is that where a
street grade has been fixed it shall not
be changed except by act of the legisla-
ture. This should pass, and should be
but the first of a series of acts defining
the rights of the citizen as against petty
municipal despotiSms.

The present session Of the general as
sembly. Knights Of Labor which con-
vened at Indianapolis yesterday prom
ises to be another protracted and stormy
one. Barry, the trouble breeder, is on
hand with bundle of grievances and
declares that he will have redress of his
wrongs. The substance Of his complaints
is, in our opinion, an overweening desire
to succeed Dir. Powderly as grand mas
ter workman. 1t is none of our quarrel,
but for the good of the order our notion
is that the wise thing for the general as
sembly to do will be to sit down on
Barry with an unmistakable emphasis.

undo faster than half dozen Of the best

Tin Discovered in Cowley County

a. u Ir3NelSr
Yesterday a Traveller reporter was
shown a sample of tin ore by DR.. J. T.
Shepard, of this city. which he discoy-
cred on his farm in Rock township while
making an excavation. The ore was
found some time since and pronounced
by expert miners to be of exceedingly
fine quality. But little was said about it
at the time for the reason that the dis
coverer is rather conservative in all he
does and says he did not wish te raise
hopes that might suddenly vanish in
thin air. Believing, however, that the
mineral was valuable he sent quite a lot
of it to Mum & Co., of New York, who
subjected it to the assayers test with the
most satisfactory results. The assayer
informs him that the samples are ninety
per cent fine. This ore Is found In the
lodges of the rock along the creek, near
Rock station, on the Florence branch OF
the Santa Fe railroad, at depth of about
fifteen feet. Every indication points to
a large deposit of this valuable metal in
this county. and it is the purpose Of DR..
shepard aud Others to push their investi
cations until they know 10 certainty
whether there is sufficient quantity TO
open up mine with all necessary ma
chinery for placing If on the market.
