As the day draws near when tile de-
paTtment encampment OF the G. A. r.
for Kansas shall meet at Winfield and
choose a commander for next year, the
thought suggests itself that now is the
time and place when true merit and
bravery, as displayedin face Of the en-
envy. can be partially, at least, reward
ed. The commander of the depart
ment of Kansas, which contains many
more soldiers than any other state in the
union in proportion to its population,
should be a representative soldier-one
who was not simply an officer because
he happened to have friends and influ-
ence that made him one, but man
who helped bear the brunt of battle as a
private soldier, and whose capacity to
command as well as to obey were rec
ognized by promotion from the ranks of
his own companions to be an Off
Ger over the same. These
two qualities, it seems to us,
are the two qualities most esteemed in
soldier. When to these two are adj
ded those of superb eloquence and
great business capacity we have all that
is requisite for a successful leader.
Emporia viii place before the encamp-
ment the name of a gentleman, as her
candidate for commander, whose mill
tary record we have given in these
columns, and whose eloquenee and
capacity are so well known throughout
the state that we have little doubt OF
his being the choice of thecomrades or
the first ballot.

THE Omaha Herald has information
that George Francis Train, who. ex-
patSiated himself TO Sussex, New
Brunswick, because the Chicago an
arehists were hanged, is exposing in
newspaper which he has established
the iniquities of the pauper system of
the Dominion. 1T SEEM says the
Herald, THAT paupers there are sold at
auction just as slaves were in the
south years ago. The descriptions Of
the unfortunates are published, and
their ability to work duly noted If

Is made that this enhances their spec
ulative value, for in case of death no
money has to be repaid. No wonder
that Citizen Trains aroused, for this is
a monstrous wrong. 1t is easy to i'm
agine the brutality of person who
would bid to care for a pauper year
for a certain sum, with the under
standing that the pauper was to work
for his or her way. It's easy to under
stand that the chattel would be NAL
treated and all but killed. The exis-
tence OF this system is shame to the
Dominion authorities.

that nearly s., 090,09 of license reve-
