Thirteen states in the union of which
Kansas is one, permit persons to vote
who are not citizens of the United
States-that Is-persons who have not
been naturaliZed as the laws of the
United States require. Here the mere
declaration of intention to become a
citizen confers the right of suffrage.
An exchange puts it fOrcibly when it
says:
A man can land in Kansas from the
vilest prison cell of Europe and in six
months he is gwen all the privileges of
citizenship, no matter how ignorant
and depraved he may be.
This is true, absolutely true, and it
is high time that a change shall be
made which will make the laws and
constitution Of Kansas toconform with
the spirit and letter of the laws of the
United States.
Neither Kansas nor any other state
should cheaper citizenship; on the con-
trary, law and sentiment should tend
to make the right of American citizen
ship more esteemed than it is or than
it can be when any man from a foreign
country can attain all that it confers in
six months, and the person who car
not read has citizenship conferred upor
him as a thright.-Leavenwort

REUNION PREPARATIONS.

A meeting of council of ADMINISTERS
ton of the department of Kansas, G.
A. r. was held Monday at the Cope
land hotel in Topeka, to make some
necessary preparations for the proposed
state reunion next week. Measures
were taken to secure one cent mile
rate from all points in Kansas, which,
it seems, the railroads had agreed
should be one and a-half cents. The
matter was placed in such light be-
fore the railroad managers that it is
more than probable the one cent rate
will be obtained.
1t was also decided to name the re-
union Camp McCook," in honor of
General Alexander Mcdowell McCOok,
who it was decided should be COM
mander of the camp.
The reunion itself will be under
charge of S. ". G. Henry Booth. Com
mander Feighan being granted leave OF
absence to suit his convenience, by the
council, for the purpose OF joining his
family at Spokane Falls. Washington
Territory.
1t was also decided that no gambling
device of any kind be admitted on the
grounds. This bars out the cane game
the striking machine and all Other
schemes which border on the line OF
games of chance.
The following telegram was sent tC
Commander-in-Ch Warner, and it il
assured that he will be there in person
| to answer:
Resolved, By the council of admins
| tratiOn of the department of Kansas
Grand Army of the Republic. thai

diers and sailors of this department, tx

an opportunity to view the remains.
The floral offerings were very rich and
beautiful and the music furnished by
Mesdames Harris and Penny and
MessrS. III. E. Fox and h. G. BrOdie
was both beautiful and appropriate.
The band then formed on South
avenue, followed by the K. N. G. Be

of Post Commander Chas. Harris, in a
body. Next in order was the hearse

with whom the deceased served three

''Rock Hill Dirge" the procession
moved slowly west to Commercial

Mr.. A. ]. Streeter is credited with
being the thriftiest candidate for the
presidential Office in the field. He
has land galore, mortgages many, and
the sinews of war in great abundance.
No other candidate can draw his check
for a cool million and have it honOred.
Just now he is making unusual efforts
to secure votes in Kansas, but while he
speaks he manages to thrive, and he
makes expenses by playing the party
printing into his own crap box. 1t
seems that he is a director and stock
holder in a printing establishment at
Winfield (which, by resolution of the
union labor state convention, is given
a monopoly Of printing the patents
for all the party organs in the state.
The price, per Quire, is placed at q
figure which gives the concern a hand
some profit on the business, and the
Enterprise is said to be making money.

had close call and a lively time one
day this week. He was hauling load
of hay and in crossing a ditch he felt
something strike his boot, presumably
a weed, and paid no farther attention
until he had driven aquarter of a mile,
when his attention was again called to
the rapping on his old boot. Looking
down he saw a huge RATHER between
his feet, which started to run off the
load, but was finally killed. Mr.. H.
showed us his boot, where some fifteen
distinct marks were made by the fangs
of the RATHER in his unsuccessful at

THE great effort of the democratic
press seems just now to be to impress
readers with the idea that the Tepubli
cans claim that foreigners who export
goods to the United States are the ones
who have to pay the tariff duties. The
democratic editors who seek to thus i'm
pose on their readers are evidently of
the opinion of q once noted democrat
who explained his reasons for attempt
ing to deceive his hearers by making
far-fetched statements. He said; lit
is just as you please to have it. Some

Masses spell it the same, but make

By his friends, EmpOria, Kansas,
:. September 18th, 1888.

Judge Graves expressed the hope
that this testimonial would always re-
mind the Colonel and his wife and fam
lily of the friends they had left behind
them. Col. Feighan, in acknowledge
ing this expression of the kind and
friendly feeling shown him, said he
could not find words to convey the emo
tions of his heart on such an occasion.
He feelingly reviewed his relations with
the bar and his brother officials, and
spoke of his residence in Emporia in
terms most complimentary to our citi-
zens. He expressed his appreciation
of the handsome present just given him
and said he should never forget his
friends in EmpOria wherever fate might
cast his fortunes in the future. We
acknowledge our inability to do justice
to the speeches either in the language
used or the feeling they evinced. At
the conclusion of Colonel Feighan s
remarks, all present were invited to
the dining room where a bountiful
supper was served which reflected
great credit upon Mr.. Ireland the land
lord, who Is achieving quite reputa-
ton for the excellence of his tables on
such occasions as well as when his
guests are unexpected and less numsr-
Gus. After all had partaken of the
good things before them, short speech
es were made by Governor Eskridge
DR.. Wright. Rev. Kelley, Mr..
McCarty, Mr.. Firth, Judge
Buck Esquire Evans, Charles
Harris and Hon. A. w. Plumb, to all
which Colonel Feighan made a very
happy response, and the party then adj
journed.
Colonel Feighan took the midnight
train for Spokane Falls bearing the
happy remembrance of this very pleas
ant gathering and the best wishes of
his host of friends in this city. A
| number of gentlemen accompanied
him to the train to see him off.

bearers are Making" and devotes
nearly half column of laudations
to its state nominees, claiming that
they are making a "dashing campaign. -

into nonsense by one or two little items

WE have sometimes wondered why
it is that Kansas hay should cost the
consumer at this point so much per ton.
The answer comes in the following
from the Cleveland Leader:
Thousands Of tons of Kansas and Illi-
nois hay are sold every year in this
city. One commission firm alone often
handles from ten to twenty car loads
in a single day. IN the season for such
shipments. 1t is just 81 q ton cheaper
to bring hay here from Kansas City
than it is to bring it from Canada, only
seventy miles distant, and pay the du-
ty. If there were no duty on hay. not
ton of Kansas hay would ever have
been sold in Cleveland. the g ton
keeps out the Canada hay and gives the
Kansas farmer chance to market a
part of his surplus products here.
If we were a democrat, we would in
sist upon removing the two dollars pei
ton duty, so that our hay would stay at
home, and our Canada brethren would
have a market for their crop. But as
we believe in the principle of protec'
ton, we will have to say, ''let her go
Gallagher" and be content ourselves
with seeing our farmers rake in every
dollar possible. TWO-hOrse Takes are
the style used on our broad prairies
