a CONTRAST

The recent debate in the senate on
Blair's bill to give wounded and disa-
bled confederate soldiers the preferences
in appointments to federal offices in
the south called forth this statement
from Senator Daniels, of Virginia:
There Is not town or hamlet from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande where
a confederate soldier is to be seen in
rags and tatters and begging his bread
IN the streets. There is not q palace
or hut where the cofederate soldier is
not a welcome and honored guest.
All that the confederate soldier asks
OF the United States is that he shall
stand equal before It's laws and have a
fair opportunity to work out his own
salvation" The contrast here pre-
sented with the statements of the re-
puelicans that q pension for every
union soldier who served three months
In the war, is an absolute necessity to
keep hundreds of these veterans out of
the almshouses is striking to say, the
least.-Wichita Beacon.
If the above is true, and we have nc
reason to doubt it, there is little won
der that ex-union soldiers sometimes
eel as if they had been on the wrong
side of the fraceas.
In the north it cannot be truly said
that there is not a palace or a hut
where the union soldier is not a wei
come guest" Neither can it truthfully
be said that in no hamlet or town car
be seen union soldier ''in rags anG
tatters and begging his bread in thu
streets" When such is the cas-
there will be no necessity for unio1
soldiers to ask q government they pre-
served to do them the justice thu
people refuse to do.
If the northern states, as states
took half as good care of their de
pendent and crippled soldiers as thu
south does, the government would moi
be called on to pension them.
The southern people honor their sol
diers as the people Of the north do not
Who ever heard of q southern paper
that would dare to print such a para
graph as the following in reference Il
q southern soldier: They 1.-THE ex
union soldiersl are a gang of dead
beats, whose services cost the govern
ment more than they were WORTH Yet
the above appeared in the Abilene Ca
Zette Of a recent date, with references
to the men who freely shed their blood
to preserve country for such tankless
whelps as the Gazette man to live In
and enjoy.
The southern people have theiI
faults, but ingratitude to their brave sol
diers is not one of them. And had they
been successful in the struggle there il
not doubt that pension legislation fol-
their benefit would have been freely
passed by confederate congressman
Indeed, it would have been a bold man
who would have dared to oppose any
legislation looking to their interests.

HERE is field for third party pro-
hibitionists. Let them read the follow
ing from the Gainesville, Texas, Hes
perian, and if they be indeed prohibi-
tionists, let them grid on their armor
and fight for temperance where it is
more needed than in Kansas or Iowa:
The south needs no third party at
the present crisis of her HISTORY. and
all true and loyal southerners should
stand by the democratic party and de-
feat these third party politicians and
ofice-seekers. All patriotic lovers of
the sunny south should stand by
the grand old party that stood by them
during the dark and trying days of re-
construction.

A Handaosne RDdorseunaUt


1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago an unqualified endorsement
of the skill of our esteemed citizen, w,
II. Long, blacksmith, no East Fifth
avenue, as repairer of plows was
published in this paper, from the
celebrated manufacturers of pIows.
Parlin & Orendorff of Canton, Illinois.
We now publish similar endorsement
from equally celebrated firm, Deere,
Mansur & Co., of the John Deere plow
works. 1t is as follows:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March S, 1885,
We ind that there is nothing that
insures the steady running and salts
factory working of a pillow but the
proper setting of the share, with the
required bottom suck, and this car
only be done by a blacksmith who has
large experience in work of this kind.
Our warranty provides that we will
not be responsible for the run of pillow
| after the share has been in any Othe]
IRE than our own, for the reason that
| the large majority of smiths do moi
| properly reset the shares, and Otter
take the original temper out of then
without properly rehardening them.
From what we know and have hearC
OF Mr.. W. III. Long of Emporia, Kan
Sas, we think we can cheerfullv rec
emmend to all farmers who are acces
sable to him, to have all work of thi
kind done at his shop, as he seems t.
be very thorough in this branch of hi
work. Respectfully,
DEERE, MANSUR & Co.

THE southern press is more outspo-

subject of pensioning federal soldiers.

time has arrived when Southern DEM

for pension steals It says: .Sena-
tor Vest says ne no longer intends to
vote for pension jobs introduced in the
senaSe, in order to avoid bloody shirt
howl. MIR. Vest, as well as other
southern senators, should have taken
this stand several yearn ago"

MOST of the aspirants for guberna-
torial honors in Kansas are good men,
but Col. David Taylor, of Emporia, be-
ing good man, and emphatically the
representative of the farmers, is rapid
ly coming to the front with follow
ing that insures his nomination. This
being an agricultural State, with more
farmers than all other classes of cit
liens combined, it is but right that
one of their number should occupy the
highest Office in the State. That man
is Colonel Taylor.-Mulvane Record.

WHEN the president has nominated
and the senate confirmed Chief Justice
Waite's successor, two Of the nine
places on the United States supreme
court bench will be filed with demo-
Gratis. OF the seven republican JUS
tees three have passed the retiring
age, and their successors will doubtless
be named by the next president, if not
by the present one. Should a demo-
cratic chief magistrate be chosen next
fall, then it is certain that during his
term the supreme court will become
democratic, that is, of the nine justices
five, or majority, viii be democrats.

THE Western Union Telegraph COM
pany sought to escape the payment of
certain taxes to the state of Massachu-
sets on the ground that of its 2,sSS
miles of line within that state more
than 2, 1884 miles were over, under or
across post roads made such by the
United States. The United States
supreme court, in deciding the case,
held that the statute which grants tele-
graph companies the privilege of rum
ming their lines through and over any
Of the public domain and along post
roads is merely a permissive statute,
and that there is no expression in it
which implies or eonfers any exemption
from the ordinary burdens of taxation.
The tribunal therefore declared that
the tax assessed against the company
was valid, and affirmed the judgment
for SIC, 6ls against the appellant.

UPoN the understanding that the use
OF Mrs. Cleveland's photographs for
advertising purposes was offensive to
the president, a bill has been intro
duced into the New York legislature,
the object of which is to prevent such
use of portraits without the consent of
the person whom they represent.
Right in the face of this comes the in
formation that Mrs. Cleveland has sent
800 photographs of herself to be sold at
charity fair in New York city. This
isn't advertising, of course-perish the
thought-but somehow it seems to
knock the argument that the CIeve-
lands object to offensive publicity
very fat.
