Kansas Cavalry, and was successfully
promoted to the rank Of captain, ma
jor and Northumberland of that regi-
ment, being conspicuous for gallantry
on many a hard fought field In the
war for the suppression Of the rebel /
lion. In 1867 he was chosen speaker
In the Kansas house of representa-
tives, In which body he served until
elected to the United States senate,
taking his seat March 18th, 1877. He
was reelected to a second term in
1888, his present service expiring
March 3D. 1889.
Senator Plumb is fluent and vigor-
Gus debater, specially distinguished
for rapid and intelligent grouping Of
facts. In running discussion he is
without superior in the senate, and
his command Of language is marvel
GUS. One would hardly suppose, in
the great pressure of public business
and the many demands made upon
him by his constituents, that Senator
Plumb would find time to read, and
yet without doubt he reads more
newspapers, magazines and publica-
tions Of current literature than any Of
his colleagues. His habits acquired
in the pursuit Of his trade as printer
and occupation as editor comprise the
] very essence of his existence.
No man has a tenderer side nor
/ greater sympathy for the mechanic
and laborer than Senator Plumb. He
was born from the Ioins of toll, and
advanced into public prominence
while following the thorny paths Of
humble beginnings. His fellOw-crafts-
men should be advised that his special
pride is to be known as a printer.
This fact was emphasized some year
or two since, when, owing to a com
pHcation at the government printing
Office, certain important work was IN
arrears. Senator Plumb stated on
that occasion that he was ready at
any moment to take his stick and
with other volunteers from the house
and senate help the printers out of
their difficulty until the crisis had
been overcome.
The idea, however, obtained some
three or four years ago that he was
not in accord with the Typographical
Union. This was a great mistake,
and originated in a mutual misunder-
standing with Public Printer Rounds
in reference to the employment Of a
proof-reader in the government Office.
When the matter was made clear to
all parties concerned the complica-
ton was adjusted satisfactorily. Sen
ator Plumb is an admirer and up
holder Of the Typographical Union,
which organization has no warmer
friend than the printer senator from
Kansas.
Being a member of the senate com
mittee on appropriations, he has al
ways favored liberal appropriations
for the government printing Office
When the subject of granting leave
of absence with pay to the employees
of the government printing Office was
uuder congressional consideration
there was no stronger or more per
sistent advocate of this meritorioui
measure in the senate than Senator
Plumb.
The more practical printers and edi
tors we have IN congress, the health
Ter and better and more intelligen
Will be our national legislation. ST
long as the great State of Kansas car
secure the services Of Preston B
Plumb in the senate Of the United
States, not only the printers, but al
other Of the laboring and industria
classes viii be benefited.

Where is the union labor party any
how? The election that has Just
passed shows the republican members
Of that party have gone back, almost
solidIy, to their first love, while those
OF democratic proclivities have stood
by the union labor party. This ought
to be sufficient to open the eyes Of all
union labor democrats to the fact
that In a national contest there are
only the two great parties, and If you
want the principles you advocate to
succeed, the only way you can ever
expect success is through the suprem-
acy Of the democratic party--Phft-
l{pSbLTg Democrat
Now that seems Ike adding insult
to injury. Editor Covington was a
strong fusionist and now charges bad
faith on the part Of his late fusion
friends.

A curious museum has Just been opened
at Dresden. In it are collected a number
of boots, shoes and slippers in which en-
perors, kings, queens, princes and other
august or famous persons have some time
or other trodden the path through life.
Among them are n pair of boots worn by
Napoleon l at the battle of Dresden, on
April 81, 1918, and a pair of white satin
shoes, embroidered In gold, which the
same great emperor wore on the day of
his coronation; another pair of strong
leather boots which belonged to the ia
mou French marshal, Murat, afterward
king Of the Two Sicilies; q pair of high
heeled boots of Maria Theresa; boots Of
the philosopher Kent, and many others,
forming a curious assembly.
If the promoters of the museum have
any energy they will not find it difficult
TO increase their curious collection n
siderably and to make it one of the
sights of Dresden. But they must search
both highways and byways for their
treasures; thus, for instance, they might
perhaps obtain an interesting article from

that the gifts flow in a steady, if tiny,

country where criminals so frequently
escape justice. During 1SS6-ST there
were in London AZ, 891 Indictments and
only 10,045 of the offenders were placed

one-half escaped. 1t is further to be
noted that of those apprehended 3,76G
were discharged for want of evidence
and 1895 for want Of prosecution, &c
that the number held to bail or com

Ga Friday evening last Mr.. Il. p.
C%hampliu, through his attorney, Judge

trrt court a document which alleges that
lac (Champliu) is entitled to a certificate of
election as probate judge and treasurer.
The petition is quite lengthy, and lack of
space prevents its reproduction here. The
main points in it are, first, that fourteen
votes cast for the petitioner at Manville-
which were thrown out because they were
not Just two aud one half inches wide and
ten and one half inches long-be counted:
second, that the Judges at Incz knowingly
received and counted the votes of certain

1t is peculiarly unfortunate that Chey-
enne should have acquired a reputation
abroad as an expensive place in which to
have business dealings. In many neigh
boring towns and in many parts Of the
territory the opinion prevails that the
prices charged for goods here now are as
high as they used to be in the palmy day
of the cattle business This is altogether
untrue, but the reputation is frequently
maintained by people are interested in
keeping trade away from Cheyenne.
While this is the case it is, neyerthe-
less, a. fact that the merchants Of this city
are not making any special effort to secure
the trade of the outlying sections. While
itis true that Cheyenne has a fair and
