ance of the 90, 900 acres donated by con-
gress to Kansas for agriculture college
purposes, by the act of July 2, 1862, very
clearly shows that his mania for exer-
cising his prerogative as a vetoer over
rides his sense of right, of equity, if, in
deed, he has any such sense. 1t has been
established beyond doubt that Kansas
did not receive 10000 acres of land as
provided by the act of July 2, 1862, and
that. in equity, it is entitled to the bal
ance due, the 1859 acres.
Both houses of congress agreed that
the state was entitled to this land in
order to carry out the provisions of the
original bill, and, in accordance with
that conviction, they passed bill au-
thorizing the secretary of the interior TO
certify to Kansas that number of acres of
public land. But Grover Cleveland,
who arrogates to himself superior wis
dom, assumes to thwart the wishes of
congress in this matter, thus outraging
the rights of great state, for the simple
reason that his assumed understanding
of the points involved in the claim is in
fallible.

DEMOCRATIC DAY.

The Democrats will turn themselves
loose today. Bandanas will flourish and
bananas suffer. 1t will be the ''hoss
marines" and no little of infantry thrown
in. The subscription papers have been
very industriously and persistently cir
culated and the bands will play at remu-
nerative prices. Federal Office holders,
no doubt, all came down handsomely for
the purpose of giving the man who has
promised to elevate the Democratic party
of Kansas big send off. Well, nobody
ought to object. John Martin is a nice
man, a little high-headed and aristo-
cratic, it is true, given to gold headed
canes, riffied shirts and to posing, yet
withal an exceedingly nice man person.

is in the biggest city that Kansas has or

this country, and disastrous work it has
been. So let them have their jollificatlon.

SOME PERSONAL ESTIMATES.

"What do you think of President
| Cleveland?
The answers of a large number of con-
gressmen to this seasonable question use
up half a dozen columns of small type in
Mondays New York World. 1t is pleas
ant to be told that an opportunity was
given TO each Of the congressman to
revise his language-and, we suppose,
his opinion, too, if he chose-before
publication. That is as it should be.
Most of the answers are about what they
might have been expected to be, yet the
element of unexpectedness is not wholly
lacking, either.
Sunset Cox attributes Mr.. Cleveland's
success to those virlle elements that
enable man to rule his own spirit" Amos
Cummings finds him "both solid and
stolid," and rates him as politician
above the late President Arthur my
opinion of Mr.. Cleveland wouldn't
look well in print says Thomas
est error in political Judgment" says
Charles II. Grosvenor, of Ohio, Twas in
supposing that the ,mugmumpsi were of
any value to him after they were foolish
enough to vote for him." Nelson Ding
ley, jr., of Maine, sums up judicially:
ga man of fair ability, moderate culture,
slight acquaintance with public men
and public affairs, much stubborne:s,
great caution. plodding patience, marked
industry in details. much common sense
and large measure of that cunning
which passes with many for political
sagacity." What John E. Russell, of
Massachusetts, especially admires in his
free wool leader is "a constant quality of
mind that makes him Thoroughly relia-
ble." Perhaps this quality explains the
phenomena of a one term president ON
principle seeking reelection. W. Ii.
Sowden, sof Pennsylvania, doesn't con-
slider Mr.. Cleveland infallible by any
means, but he thinks him honest, inclined
to do what is right, and very loyal
in disposition" Isidor Raynor. of Mary
land. supposes he is the only Democratic
congressman who never met Mr.. Cleve-
land, "never'even saw him near at hand. "
He is a good administration man all the
same, though he thinks Mr. Cleveland
has made few mistakes. Ex-Cavslry-
man Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama, makes
no bones of avowing his personal con-
viction that the present occupant OF the
white house is the most distinguished
statesman of his time. William W.
Morrow, of California, on the contrary
doesn't think of anything he would care
to say in print about Mr. Cleveland as a
statesman. Il have known him for a
number of years" says the Hon.
Tim Campbell. Of New York. ''As a
man he Is socially and intellectually
a thorough type Of an American gentle
man As Democrat he is No. /. In
his habits of life the American simph-
city that marks the true Democrat Is
ever apparent. He is in bee line with
the traditions of the party, and his idea
is to elevate the Democratic party to the
plane upon which the American people
have the right to expect it TO stand
Il may be remarked generally of these
interviews that the language enployed
by the Republicans N speaking OF the
president IS In strong and pleasing con-
trast with that employed by many
Democratic newspapers in speaking Of

THE Probe STAMPEDE.

Every day brings additional evidence
that the prohibition party as an organiza-
ton is rapidly losing its grip upon what
it had to start with at the beginning of
| the campaign. The disintegration in
the lest almost amounts to stampede.
In New York where it succeeded in de-
feating the Republican party four years
ago there will not be enough of it left by
November to form a corporars guard.
Many honest, conscientious prohibition
lists who We're led off by the Independent
movement under misapprehension of
the facts and conditionAAave discovered
their error: have become Convinced that
there is no earthly hope for the success of
the party at the election, and that it
could not do more than the Republican
party has done and it is pledg-
ed to do in the future, and,
further, as has been oft and repeatedly
stated, that support of that movement
is direct encouragement to the open and
avowed enemies of the principles they
would uphold and defend. Their minds
being diabused Of the mistaken ideas
that prompted them to lend their in
fiueIce and support to the independent
movement, it is but what was and al
ways is to be expected of those who
make mistake through false impress
sions and influences, i. e., that they re-
new their allegiance to the cause and to
the party that truly represents it.
In view of these facts it has been only
a question of time when the re-allign-
ment should take place. That it has be-
gun in earnest, not only in the east
but throughout the country, there is no
longer any doubt, and that it viii con-
tinue to increase to the end of the cam
paign there is no room to doubt. Prohi-
bitIonists who are such from convictions
and who sincerely desire to see the prin-
ciple triumph will support the Republi-
can ticket, and those who profess SYM
pathy with the movement only for parti-
san or personal advantage will be found
on election day with opposition ballots in
their hands. The few who may have the
hardihood to stout it out and go thro'
the form of supporting that ism will be
mighty lonesome set and will make
sorry showing when the votes are
counted.

these two parties lies the only actual
choice; for either Harrison who is a pro-
nounced anti-saloon Republican, and the
nominee of a temperance party, or Cleve-
land pronounced anti-sumptuary-legis-
lation Democrat, and the nominee OF a

TREASURY MISMANAGEMENT.
New York Sun

New York sun.
Secretary Fairchild has raised his limit
for the purchase of United States four
per cent. bonds to $780, and at that figure
has just bought So. SIC, $40 of them.
In January last the secretary could
have purchased these bonds at from 125
TO 1875. In the same month of January
he deposited with certain favored ma
tional banks $50, 900, 900 and upward of
public money free of interest, with
which he could have bought S24, 00C, 600
of bonds. Adding to the 100 he is now
paying for them the 2 per cent. interest
paid since January, brings their cost to
the government up TO 1872 as against say
1876. which the cost would have been if
he had bought them in January.
Here is a dead loss to the national
treasury of per cent. on S24, DOC, 600, or
81 .440, 900, and corresponding profit to
the banks which bought the bonds and
pledged them to the treasury. This
might have been avoided by the exercise
of a little common sense. What says
the president.

take. According to its informant the
pocket out of which the 5000 actually
came appertains to one Myron II. Banks,
contractor, who got the contract for
dredging Charleston harbor, and is said
to have made $3.50, 900 out of it in sin

If man enter Office pledged to do

testify doing an injustice to the rest of

pledges, Rev. NJ. L. Haines, General
Harrisons pastor, says that he happens
to know that his distinguished par
Ishioner gave just one pledge. and that
was if elected president of the United
States he would conduct the admins
tration of Republican principles. Fur
ther than that" says Mr.. Haines, Il
know that General Harrison stands alb
solutely unpledged." The Republican
party accepts that one pledge as en-
bodying all the requirements that the
best interests of the country as a whole
can impose. And it has confidence in
his integrity and ability to believe he
will perform it to the letter.
