OUR member of congress, Thos. RyS
an, in his canvass, two years ago, was
charged by his democratic opponent,
Hon. John Martin OF. Topeka, with be-
ing opposed to opening Oklahoma to
settlement. He was obliged to meet
the charge and refute it at every point
in the district, which he did success
fully, for his record was in favor of
that measure. II there was a man or
a newspaper in the district then OPP
posed to the proposition, the fact was
never made public. The laboring men
of Usage county are unanimous in favor
of it, and we believe the same state Of
facts exists throughout the state. Mr..
Ryan will, no doubt, maintain con-
sistentTecord on this question.-Osage
City Free Press.
The Press should remember that
consistency is not the only recommend
alton that the people require of their
representatives. There is such a thing
as public opinion changing, and when
such change occurs it is well for those
who make living as servants Of the
public to keep up with the changes die
tated by surrounding circumstances.
That majority Of the people of Kan
sas are opposed to at present opening
up the Oklahoma country is certain
ty, since the country embraced in the
measure now being doomed is so much
enlarged over what it was when Mr..
Ryan was a candidate.

THE year 1888 is a lucky one, says
the st. Paul Globe, and continues
There is an old Chaldean supersti
tion that year with three eighths is
one of unlimited blessings. None but
lucky stars are in the ascendency,
fields blossom with abundant harvests,
the cattle are lowing on Thousand
hills, shepherds lead their flock through
green pastures and by still waters. and
business enterprises prosper; every
thing you touch turns to gold, want
and famine skulk into their hiding
places until these days of universal
prosperity are over. Pestilence seals
his lips and no foul breath poisons the
atmosphere: mirth holds high carnival,
and for twelve moons sorrow and sigh
ing shall flee away. Those who have
faith in this ancient superstition will
derive additional comfort from the con.
struction of the figures in this year
There are three of kind and a one
spot.''

A PARAGRAPH, that has been extern
sively copied by the Kansas press, to
the effect that Governor Martin had
appointed Mrs. c. N. Sterry of Empo-
ria on the state board of charities, is
now contradicted by the Atchison
Champion, which says Mrs. Sterry has
received no such appointment nor has
she ever applied for the position, nor
has any one ever applied in her behalf.
There is no vacancy on the board and
will not be until April.-Lawrence
Journal.
The above contradiction started from
Emporia. However, we hope soon to
chronicle the fact that Mrs. Sterry or
some other equally competent woman
has been appointed to fill the vacancy
that will occur in April. Where so
many of the patients in these institu-
lions are of the female sex it seems to
us at least one member of the board
that has entire control over all should
be of the same sex. The reasons are
obvious. No man, however competent,
can fill the office with the same degree
of efficiency that a woman could, espe-
cially as regards female insane pa
tients. The appointing of women OF
the boards in eastern states has beer
tried and found to work excellently. II
is essentially woman's work.

ADUTY of one cent per pound is now
evied on tin plate, but as no tin plate
is manufactured in the country the
majority of the house ways and means
committee, in the bill which it has just
formulated, proposes to place the arti-
Gle on the free list. The duty is worth
less for protective purposes, and only
serves to make tin plate dearer at the
expense of the consumer. However, it
is worth while for congress to consider
whether, instead of abolishing the duty
it would not be better to make the lat
ter higher. Rich mines of tin ore have
recently been discovered in various
parts of the United States, and if they
were encouraged capitalists would
certainly undertake the work of de-
veloping these and manufacturing
the metal. Tin is produced in Aus
tralia, Malacca, Spain, Portugal, b.
hemia and Saxony, but most of that
used in the United States comes from

SENATOR VEST says: Southern sol
diers do not ask and would not take
pensions. No, indeed. They are too
high-toned. Some of our boys who
were prisoners in their hands know
just how proud and chivalrous and
high-toned they were. why, they
even took the last rags from our backs
and left us shivering to march through
the cold and wet, covering our ourselves
as best we could" says comrade. The
whole war proved how high-toned and
chivalrous they were. Fort Pillow,
Andersonville, Libby, Saulesbury, Ty-
Ter, the Lawrence massacre, the Lex
ington massacre, and a thousand other
incidents and instances might be men,
toned. Oh, no; these gents would not
take pension! How about those who
are getting the benefit of the Mexican
pension bill, which Cleveland signed
so eagerly because it benefited rebels,
at the same time vetoing the not near
so liberal one favoring union soldiers.

England. Surely it is as important
that we should be as little dependent
on foreign countries for tin as we are
for iron and steel manufactures. In
the event Of war which should inter
rupt our commerce with other nations,
tin mines and manufactures would be
very convenient things to have. In
deed, in certain contingencies they
would be almost Indispensable. In
view of these facts it would perhaps be
better to protect tin than to place it on
