We have long had quite a tender
feeling for the fair editress and
proprietress Of the Columbus Dis

Germ that we recently heard OF a

THE telegraph last Saturday gave an
account of county seat quarrel in Kan
sas, which resulted in the death of eleven
men. OF course this is nothing for the
highly moral republican state of Kansas,
but had it happened in any one of the
southern states, howl would have gone
up from Maine to California that the ku-
klux were at work, and that the colOred
vote was being suppressed The fact is
that with its boosted republican majority
there is more outawry and pure cussed-
ness generally in the state of Kansas than
in the whole south put together But
Kansas isn't democratic state, and NO
crime can be committed on its sacred sol
