ENTHUsTAsTTC HOOsIERs.

A private letter was received from
Indianapolis yesterday by Mrs. Hatha-
way, written by Mrs. s. v. Gard, a
former resident of EmpOria, from
which we are allowed to make the fol-
lowing extracts:
Our city has beeh lined in red, white
and blue ever since the nomination.
Indiana is Just wild all over the state,
father says. You know father and my
brother are travelling men, and they go
all over the state. Father and uncle
have been acquainted personally with
Harrison for fifteen or twenty years.
He and my uncle were near neighbors.
He only lives four blocks east of US, on
North Delaware street. My uncle has
been a democrat all his life and voted
for Cleveland four years ago, but Cleve-
land will never get his vote again.
lie is for Harrison, Indiana'S nOblest
son. He says he never knew a purer
man in his life, and he is strict Pres
byterian. o, there are so many demo-
Gratis in our city that have turned. l
heard joke on an old darkey the 9th
er day. He works out at the car shops,
and wanted Gresham for president;
and some of them got to talking about
Harrison and his grandfather, the old
wing of 1910. He says, "Why is Gen
eral Harrison kin to that old whig
Harrison?" They told him he was his
grandson. "Well," he says, ''then 1
am going to vote for him; because the
white people that owned Inc hated that
wing Harrison so, and know he was
good man." Then he said, "Hurrah
for Harrisonl he is all right!''
Then there is another old darkey
here in the city, who attends to clean
ing up lawyers officers, and among
them was Harrison's. and one man
that he cleaned Office for was a demo-
crat, and he abused Harrison terribly
to this old darkey, and the old man
couldn't stand it. He said he had
been cleaning Mr.. Harrison's Office for
fifteen years or more. and the general
had always treated him so kindly, and
had asked him to sit at his table and
eat with him, and he could not go back
on the general now. So he handed the
fellow his Office keys and left. Well,
am for Harrison, and wish could vote
for him.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1.-THE
results obtained by the police census of
Washington, which has just been COM
pleted, shows the population of the
city to be 227 900, or an increase of a.
600 since tie census of 1880, the popu-

1S1 600. Probably few cities in the
country, not excepting even the
numerous western cities of far greater
commercial Importance, have eQualled
the substantial growth of the National
Capital during The past few years, and
the numerous buildings that are now
In course of erection IN all sections of
the city, the various improvements of
both public and private nature which
are In progress at the present time, in
dictate that the city has not yet reached
the height OF its prosperity.
There was no celebration of the
Fourth of July by the general public
in Washington, but the day was OBJ
served by individuals with the usual
amount of enthusiasm. Nearly every
available bit of woodland within easy
reach OF the city was filled with pic

AND THE CHINESE.
Coming from the columns of the
Kansas City News, a paper of strong
democratic tendency, the following
will be read with interest by all Glasses
of politicians:
Democratic newspapers are printing
a good deal Of stuff and nonsense con-
corning General Harrison's attitude
upon the Chinese question. Great
New York papers are sending report
ers to interview the Cinnamon in Mott
street, and print artistically faxed"
interviews in which the Celes tials are
quoted as being relentlessly hostile to
Cleveland, and enthusiastically in faV-
or of Harrison because of the latter's
views upon Chinese immigration. So
dignified paper as the Philadelphia
Times has lately been guilty 70 printing
such rotasthis:
Wong Chin Foo, the publisher of the
Chinese American, is going to put
HaTrison's picture at the head of his
editorial page and support him to the
best of his ability. Wing Lee, q Chi
nese laundrymen, expresses his polIti-
cal views as follows: I'm for Haili-
| He want more Cinnamon here-mOre
/ Cinnamon better for clountly. /. no
want Cleveland. He democrat.
| Democrats IIish. ilish no good for
Cinnamon" A clever Chinese artist
has sketehed portrait of Harrison in
Chinese style and placed it in the
Joss temple in Mott street, where it is
an object of much admiration.
It's hard to conceive of the mental
caliber of the man who would permit
such stuff AS this to be printed in his
paper, and who would furthermore uss
it as text upon which to rest grave
objections to the election of Gen. Har
risOn. IL may be good politics, but il
is unworthy of decent journalism.
| In 1881 Gen. Harrison may have
cherished ideas upon the subject o.
Chinese immigration which, to his ma
turer judgment to-day, would seem un
wise. Seven years is long time, anC
man may rightfully change his opin
ions. Many of the democratic news
papers nov SO fiercely assailing HaT
risOn stood with him upon the subjec
in 1881. If he was In error then 81
were they. and it is not their part to
day to reproach him for an error il
which they shared equally.
Besides, when all is said, the maj
who has never committed an error i
yet to be found, and when he is found
he will be too sanity a subject for
presidential nomination.

contested. That's what presidential
elections have amounted to. Thirty
four States have been controlled by
the sectional issue, and four States
have been controlled by other ques-

Tie tariff is important this year,
very important-not because it will cut
any figure in the South or the certain
Republican States of the North, but
because it may decide the result in the
doubtful States.

THE Kansas Chief Troy has the fol-
lowing pithy criticism of a recent ap-
pointment by the state board of chart
ties. of which he is a member: 1--WE
notice that Charles E. Faulkner has
been appointed superintendent of the
Soldiers Orphans Home at Atchison
by the state board of charities, of which
he is member. This illustrates the
value of cheek in family. Mr. Faulk-
ner receives handsome pay as a men,
Der of the board of charities, and as
ecretary of the board, then appoints
himself superintendent of one of the
state institutions, at handsome sal
airy, it being one of his duties, as men,
Der of the board, to see that he faith
fully performs his duties as superin-
tendent. But this is not all. Faulkner
was rejected by the senate last winter
as a member of the board, and the gov
ernor appointed him to the place, in
violation of the spirit if not the letter
of the law, after the senate adjourned.
The law requires that certain appoint
ments by the governor shall be con-
firmed by the senate. He is allowed
to temporarily fill vacancies that occur
when the senate is not in session.
There was no such intention, when the
law was passed, as that when an ap-
pointmentwas rejected by the senate,
the governor might purposeIy Withhold
anv further appointment until after the
senate adjourned, and then stubbornly
reappOint the man who had been pre-
vious'y rejected according to law. We
would advise the other members of
State Board of Charities to provide
themselves with fat superiutendencies,
while they have a chance. Why not
gobble in all the money under their
control, while they are about it?''-

0Mrs. Hannah p. Howe, who resides
eight miles northwest of the city. with
her son, ]. II. Howe, was fatally
burned Friday afternoon by fire
catching her clothing.
Mrs. Howe went to her room yester-
day afternoon to take her usual smoke,
while the younger Mrs. Howe was
lying on bed in the adjoining room.
A short time afterward the mother
came out screaming, her clothes all on
fire. The daughter-in-law was terribly
frightened at first, but gathering her
presence of mind, she threw around
the old lady couple of shawls. This
being insufficient to quench the flames,
she ran into another room and seized a
large wooden blanket. She wrapped
this around her mother-in-law, laid her
on the floor and poured cold water on
her, thus putting out the fire. Mrs.
Howe, on account of the suffocating
flames, persisted in standing in the
draft, thus making it much more diff
cult for the daughter.
A physician was summoned, but on
examination it was found that she had
inhaled the flames and that the nerve
centers on her back were burned and
the body was almost entirely numb.
she died about o'clock.
Mrs. Howe was a native of New
York and leaves son and daughter,
besides many relatives and friends, to
mourn her sad death. The daughter
resides in New York state.
The funeral services were conducted
at O'Clock p. M, Saturday at the Cot
tonwood church, by Rev. A. l.. Vail of
this city, and the remains were in
tered in Cottonwood cemetery.
THE NEWS joins her many friends in
extending their heartfelt sympathy to
the family in their sad bereavement.

THE police have in their possession
over 200 warrants for the arrest of par
ties who have neglected to register
their dogs or pay their poll taxes. The
serving Of these warrants have been
postponed to allow the parties to pay
up.-Topeka Journal
Topeka has dog ordinance similar
to ours. If it can be enforced in To-
peka there is no good reason why it can
not also be enforced in Emporia. Last
season we called attention to this same
matter, with the result that more dog
taxes were paid than was ever known
in one season before. If owners or
harborers of dogs are made founder
stand that tax must be paid or they
will have to report to the police judge,
larger receipts in the treasury and few
er mongrel ours in our city will be the
result. The impounding of dogs is
simply a useless expense to the city
which helps to fiji the purse of the mar.
shall and police at the expense of the
taxpayers, and has no effect whatever
to restrict the dog nuisance or to com
pei people who own ours to pay taxes
Let the law be enforced.

A WELLINGTON implement man
made wager with Sumner county
farmer of 81 500 threshing machine
and engine that there was not an acre
of wheat in Sumner county that would
turn out fifty bushels to the acre.
The farmer selected two acres of wheat
on his own farm, which he had sur
veyed, and when it was cut and thresh-
cd it turned out l12 bushels, or fifty
six bushels to the acre. The imple-
ment man has acquired an access of
knowledge about Kansas crops that

From the Repu blican.
The S1nrsma Tssua.

The Supreme Issue.
Politicians may talk about the tarltf,
the revenue, civil service reform and
other similar matters, but the one real
issue which divides the parties is the
sectional or war issue. This has been
the issue for twenty-five years and will
be for years to come. 1t is we'll
enough to talk of fraternal relations
and burying the animosities, but that
doesn't remove the issue. 1t is there,
and appears to be there to stay. No
matter what questions of national pol
icy are before the country, and no
matter what the South may think of
them, she is going to vote for that side
which is opposed by the Republican
party. Why? Because the Republi-
can party is the party of the Union and
represents the principles against which
the South fought for four years. The
South hates the Republican party with
an undying hate, because the Republic
can party is the party of Lincoln and
Grant, the party which freed the
slaves, the party which whipped the
Southern Confederacy.
The South remains solid-not solid
for any principle, but solid against the
Republican party. And the solid South
makes a solid North-not cofnpactly
solid like the South, but solid with
possible exceptions of two or three
States. Out of twenty-five North
ern States eighteen are sure
ly Republican. Why? Because
the prejudices and hates which keep
the States solid that furnished the
rebel soldiers find a response in kind
from the States which furnished the
Union soldiers. AS long as the States
which were in rebellion are cemented
together with war hates and sympa-
thies, so long will the States which put
down the rebellion stand together in
disapproval.
This. then, is the issue upon which
the two parties have divided ever since
the war. 1t has been a sure division
on sectional lines, with only q battle
for the two or three doubtful States
that decide the prep0nderance. Here are
sixteen States in the South solid on the
war issue, and here ara eighteen States

THE republican party was sadly ham
dicapped in 1894 by the fact that the
New York Tribune, its chief newspa-
per organ, was the relentless foe of
organized labor, employing only nom
union printers. This year the republic
cans have not only the ill advised
course of the Tribune to contend with,
but also face to face with the fact that
the Indianapolis Journal, John g.
News paper and the personal organ OF
General Harrison. is at odds with the
typographical union. AS ageneIal rule
a newspaper which seeks to become a
political organ will do well not to an
tagonize organized labOr.-Democratlc
exchanges.
Nevertheless, the official organ of the
printers international union, which is
supposed to speak for and represent
that body, is out for Harrison and Nor
ton. Printers have entirely too much
intelligence to favor low wages simply
because one or two papers of the pro-
lection party do not employ union
printers. If this were a good reason
for political action, then the democracy
would be in still worse box than the
republicans, as there are two non-union
offices among the democrats to one
among republicans
