As the physical demand for rest was
satisfied, the Judge whisked about SO
merrily here and there that he was lost
sight of. I have only shadowy rumors
for what he actually accomplished.
These shall proceed to relate in the
most guileless form:
He was taken to the executive mansion
by bell boy. President Harrison was
not in. This was an ardor dampener,
but it had cost him too much to come all
the way here not to make further efforts
at fixing the political pins. The thought
struck him that there were some Kansas
politicians in town. He managed to as
certain their whereabouts, and poured
into there ears his notes of admopition.
B. A. Hair was recommended as the
proper piece of perfection for the register
ship of the land Office at Kes-Waney,
but the faction which Hair had worked
with were too immensely insipid to unite
on him, and he would have to be con-
sidered off color. The Kansas politicians
smiled about half audibly.

choice Of an overwhelming majority of
the people OF western Kansas as mast

be appointed, and President Harrison
had no business being out of his Office
when such important business was de-
manded by the political judge of twenty
three judicial districts in western Kansas!

Sickening, to Say the Least.

To the Editor Of the WESTERN KANSAS WORLD,
SIR:-In last weeks Republican the
comment concerning Major Henderson,
that his jokes, aside from being stale,
we're such as had long ago been discarded
by gentlemen, thus insinuating that the
major is not gentleman,) lis too con-
temptible to be noticed. were it not that
the public press is supposed to voice the
sentiments of the people.
Major Henderson,, Judging the people
by himself, was at home among us. His
great heart was filed to OVERLOOKING with
good nature and grand fellowship. He
was enoored again and again. Every
manifestation of the audience showed
how much he added to the delight of the
occasion, and it is an outrage that such
low. coarse fling should appear in public
print.
1t is an insult to the old soldiers, and
also to the W. r. c., who secured such a
celebrity to come among us. The ladies
speak in the highest terms of his gentle
manly manner and magnanimity. He
aids the w. R. G. in carrying on their
beneicent work wherever he goes. Cold
blooded and narrow, indeed, must be the
one who could criticise his part of the
performance.

Did the editor of the Republican criticise

the idea OF his own pomposity? or did he
do it out OF pure, innate meanness? Com
ing from such a source. it is sickening, to
say the least. To speak thus of one who

T some 'tis the fate
To be ever late
In seeking a date
To fix affairs of stete.

But an eAcop.i3n to that rule arrived
in town last Saturday. My attention
was called to the fact by the chatty de-
meanor of man who had registered as
hailing from western Kansas. He gave 1t
ont that his name was Stephen Jesse
Osborn, and that he was judge of twenty
three judicial districts in the banner
Republican state. This captured the
crowd, and the capture has since been so
extended as to include the whole of the
aristocratic portion OF this city.
Judges of courts in these later days
usually create only midling- sized ripple
in Washington society, OF whom the ex-
ecutive, legislative and judicial officers of
the general government form so lively a
part. But rule without an exception is
like dog with bark. People were
agog to see the judge of twerty-three
judicial districts.
Immediately, I set about to see what
he was AFTER [ met him, and decided
that it was not his health. He was as
lively as the boss pony at a colt show.
The reportorial pump was applied. 1t
brought out great loads of frozen dignity,
tempered by an almost bursting desire to
laugh, lot of q. S. land appointments, a
grist Of postmasterships, one Q. S. COM
missionership in particular, some prob
able township vacancies and a formal
charge OF treason to the Republican par
ty against a biped by the name of Tilton.
[ could see the background OF the
austere dignity which accompanied his
proclamation when the judge afterwards
related some incidents of his trip to
Washington. He and Mrs. Osborn, it
seems, left home with tickets purchased
to Mount Vernon, Ohio. They stopped
there Mrs. Osborn is yet in that state,
visiting. The judge could not long be
content where extensive plans for the
country's good were not being wrought.
he concluded to come to the nations
political nerve center. But how to come,
was the question. He didn't want to buy
a ticket, he wouldn't ask beastly rail-
road corporation for pass, and the
walking wasn't very good BUt the
latter plan OF locomotion he con cluded to
adopt as the cheapest and safest. He

CHRLSTMAS OBSERTA TONS


You hear the weird story oft re-
peated by foreign papers that peo-
pie in western Kansas are sorely
pressed for the means Of subsistence.
The general prevalence Of Christ
mas festivities at the school houses
in this county, as well as many
gatherings at private houses, to cele-
brate the recent advent of that day,
operates largely to dispel such con
illusions. Certainly, in a region
where general suffering, real or i'm
aginary, prevailed, festivities involv-
ing considerable expenditures of
money would be Stunned.
The lesson which we draw from
the general prevalence Of these dem
onstrations is that our people are
getting along pretty well.

vastly in building up the country by
selling lumber; and, no matter which
got the place, the gift would be appreci-
ated very duly, but more especially if it
was New Years 1850 present.
The Judge is said to have talked hope
fully of the prospect of President Harri-
son making an early and sweeping change
in the Office of Q. S. commissioner for
Trego county. To the victor, in what 1
may call his extra-judicial Judgment,
belongs the spoiis. This Office is now
held by Democrat, and the thing must
cease to continue as far as possible from
remoteness.
There are, I understand, likely to be
some vacancies in township Offices in
western Kansas during the coming half
year. The judge, I learn, decided to
make these the subject of consultation
with President Harrison some day when
that dignitary is in his Office.
The Kansas politicians treated the
Judge with consideration doubly marked,
told him to let them know Ivy telephone
if he thought of anything else after reach
ing home. The Kansas politicians are
also statesmen. They whispered to him
that the position of minister to The

English mission.

A PROPER MOVEMENT. 1t comes

A PROPER M0VEMENT.-lt comes
from Washington that the prelimi-
nary steps have been taken looking
to the organization of society
which shall include in its member
ship those who wore the blue and
those who wore the gray in the late
war. the tltle to be "The Military
Order of the United States of Amer
ica." The scheme includes the
erection at the national capital of an
INN ense building for the use Of the
society, and one Of the principal
objects of the association is to in
culcate aud strengthen the spirit of
determination Of States, aud thus
reduce the likelihood Of another
civil strife.
The idea is good one, and car
ried out in the right spirit would
result in much benefit. The war
ended quarter of century ago,
when the men of to day were boys
or un born, and yet some of the
speeches delivered during the late
political campaign read as if the
fighting we're still in progress. A
good many prominent members OF
the ex-soldiers' great organization
seem to hate as intensely as they
did when they were shooting, and
there is no denying that among tie
ex-Confederates are some whose love
for the men who wore the blue is
not so strong as it should be, con-
sidering that all are brothers in a
national community sense. That
there is not cordial fraternity to
day is due quite as much to Que side
as to the other, the efforts of the
leaders having been in the direction
Of keeping the ex-soldiers apart. If
they are ever to get together 1t is
time they began to approach. The
Washington movement is IN the
right direction. anl will call forth
the approval Of all whose prejudice
is not more powerful than their
judgment. Ii tho association can
be kept non-poAtical,it will succeed;
for there are enough on either side
who think thetine has come to quit
fighting in a war which ceased TWEEN
ty.four years ago, to make the so
ciety powerful.
