\ great social discussion, almost q
sensation, is aroused in England over a
pamphlet recently put forth by a Mrs.
Card, wherein she inveighs against
marriage, which she calls ''vexatious
failure" and advocates the obvious
right OF the woman to possess herself,
body and soul, and to give herself, body
and soul, exactly as she wills" Highly
respected and cultivated people are dis
cussing Mrs. Cards paper in all the
journals, and the thing is said to be the
reigning topic in London fashionable so
ciety Just now. There is nothing new
in it, but the quiet, and undisguised and
unexpected way in which it is sprung
upon the public compels discussion. Its
force as public declaration lies chiefly
in its very audacity. ''Ouida" said all
these things in ingenious stories and
pleasant guises, and other women from
still another standpoint have done the
same; but here comes a person-who-
ever she is-with cool, everyday prop
osition to society in general. and half of
London is seriously talking the thing
over.

REFORM" AS SHE IS. PRACTICED

These instructive little object-lessons
in reform continue to crop UP ali over
the country.
From 1851 to 1865 John II. Anderson,
of Williamsport, Nd, wore a blue coat
and toted musket in the army. A year
or SO after his honorable discharge from
the military service of the United States,
John entered the railway mail service.
| He has been there ever since. For near
! ly score of years he has been making
the important run between Baltimore
and Grafton, Va. So far as appears. he
has been competent, faithful man, per-
forming his duties to the entire satisfac-
ton of his superlors and the public.
Now he is abruptly dismissed-''to make
room," writes the Baltimore Americans
Williamsport correspondent, ''for a
Democrat of two months experience"
Rock Island, Illinois, furnishes an
other illustration of the working
of reform" under this administra-
ton of high-sounding professions
and peculiar practices. Three girls
were employed in the United States
arsenal there. They were sisters-the
daughters of a widowed mother, whose
husband had been killed while fighting
for the Union. Suddenly they were no.
titled that their services were no longer
needed. No reason for their dismissal
was assigned, no explanation given. The
widow insisted on having one. cat
last" writes the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette's correspondent, LATTER many eff
forts, the mother ascertained that her
daughters had been dismissed because
their sympathis were with the Republi-
can party, while the persons employed
in their places sympathlzed with the
Democratic party. The officer explained
that he was acting under direct orders
from the war department, which allow
ed him no discretion in the matter"
He was telling the truth, as the coun-
try knows. He had received copy Of
the confidential order issued by General
S. V. Benet. chief of ordnance, with the
approval and sanction of Hon. William
c. Endicott, secretary of war. The
last sentence of this now famous
composition reads as follows: This
rule THAT Democrats should be preferred
to Republicans for employment of all
sorts in the arsenalsl will apply to wo-
men and children as well as to men, and
will be strongly enforced
We observe curious diversity of
opinion and expression over the way
about this same Endicott-Benet order,
now, that contrary to the wishes and
intentions of its author it has become
public property. The more respectable
mug,wump newspapers are agreed that
it is not in accordance with the princi-
pies ofreform as set forth in Mr.. Cleve
lands letter to Mr.. Curtis and elsewhere
and should never have been issued.
Some of the Democratic newspapers.
even, have the grace to be ashamed of it.
But it strikes the esteemed Atlanta
Constitution as having 1.-THE right ring"
and the esteemed New York Sun joy-
fully salutes the Hon. William Crownin-
shield Endicott ION his march TO the
ranks of the great, happy and invincible
army of spoilsmen.

Democratic organs are Disguised because
veterans at Topeka occasionally disclosed
their purpose to vote for Harrison. The
fact is the survivors of the late war are
becoming more and more Objectionable to
the Cleveland party.-Leavenwort Times.
That depends upon which side they
were allied. The survivors of the lost
cause find favor in the eyes of the Cleve-
land party above everybody else. 1t is
the survivors of the Union armies who
are most Objectionable, especially if they
are Republicans, which they are as a
rule,

way is operating out in the country just
as if one was to go into business man S
Office and inquire for permission to see
his books, how much he owed, etc. The
folks who have to live and expect to pay
out, are getting hot about it. If every
jackleg should call on a business man TO
make his affairs public they would prob
ably be met with bat III the mouth.

The deadly car stove is not yet ready
to go. All the New York railway man
ayers have united in petition to the
railroad commissioners for moro time.
They were required to provide other
heating arrangements by November l.,
but now they ask for years more time.
They say it is impossible to accomplish
the change SO soon. The matter is still
pending, and the public is protesting.

Cleveland vetoed over one hundred
private pension bills, which would have
paid out about fifty thousand dollars to
old soldiers and sends a message to con-
gress last week recommending that two
hundred and seventy-six thousand eight
hundred and nineteen dollars be appro-
priated to the Cinnamon of this country,
for some pretended loss of property dur
ing riot up in the mines year or so
ago. Now, who is the John Chinaman

The New York Herald spoke of Kan
sas as follows: ''Of all the grain grow
ing states, both old and young, the most
remarkable is Kansas. She springs to
the front in her average yield per acre
Of the cereal crops, while her nutritious
native pasture affords an inexhaustable
supply of food for stock. There is scarce
ly one out of her 90 100000 acres that is
not adapted to agricultural or pastoral
purposes.'

Chas. T. Hickman, the weil-known
Kansas newspaper man, died on the 4th
at Monte Vista, Colo. The remains were
brought back to Wellington for burial
In the death of Charlie Hickman Kansas
loses a brilliant newspaper man and
thoroughly devoted friend. He had
adopted Colorado as a temporary abid-
ing place, and at the time of his death
had editorial charge of the Costilla Coun-
ty Democrat. This state was, however,
his home, and the mountains sends back
to the plains the lifeless form of him we
all loved.

Another citizen of Kansas has received
black eye at the hand of the admins
tration. The secretary of the interior
has made additional findings in the
claim of II. A. Bateman, of Leaven-
worth, amounting to $1,000, for depre-
dations committed in 1884 by Sioux
Indians. The secretary finds that the
evidence is not sufficient to establish a
claim, and as it was not presented
within the period fixed by law, it is
disallowed.

The agricultural interest, the founda-
ton, the backbone, the handspring of all
OF the country's prosperity, that has been
SO long virtually ignored at the council

one Of the chief factors in President
Harrison's administration, a recognition
it should have had long ago.

Official returns received from 14S

81, and 26 are divided. In the changes

towns. Good enough for stormy day

Blaine's BOYS

The New York World reports Dir.

like to see women On the stump making
Political speeches. Also as saying about
his sons: II think Walker has inherited
my ability and look to him to perpetu-
ate it. Emmons is inclined to business.
He has no taste for politics. In aliprob-
ability he will be the money maker.

he will remain here.

As between the pondrous rocks of
Blaine's expose of Cleveland's admins

exceeding fine that the November re-
turns will fail to make disclosure of any
material quantity.

In duration the present session of con-
gress beats all previous records. The
first session of the Thirty-frst congress
lasted from December 3, 1S49, to Sep
TENDER 30, 1850. Including Sundays and
holidays this comprised 500 days. The
present congress opened on December 5,
1887. October 1, 500 days of the first
session of the Fiftieth congress were
completed, thus equaling in length the
session which closed in 1850. When con-
gress met this morning the 307th day
began, thus exceeding in duration all
previous sessions in the ninety-nine
years of the governments existence
under the constitution.

The Leayenworth county Democrat

The Leavenworth county Democrats
IN their sesolutions, express regret that
the preston B. Plumb Of 1888 is not the
Preston B. Plumb of 1885," That is why
the Republicans are so proud of him. II
he were not the live, progressive states
man that he is, keeping fully abreast of
the times and in the van of advanced
and advancing Republican principles and
sentiment the wide awake, aggressive
party of Kansas would entertain and
manifest less enthusiastic admiration for
him than it does, and if there was moth
ing in him or his career to cause Demo-
cratic regrets and opposition, Repubi-
cans would doubt him seriously, and
they would have cause to. Hurrah for
Plumb, the Sledgehammer of the senate.
Mr.. Randall" says the Philadelphia
Times. ''has passed through very seri-
Gus illless and at times his condition was
very critical. 1t is not pretended that
he is yet restored to vigorous health or
that he has passed the period of danger
in his present attack, but he is slowly
but surely improving and there is every
reason to hope for his ultimate restora-
ton to active public service. He is clear
and vigorous in his intellect as he ever
was, and he has not been so we'll at any
time since his serious attack in Washing
ton as he is today" Although Mr.. Ran
dali has been prevented from making
any effort in his own behalf, not having
made a single speech so far, and prob
ably will not before the election, he will
be reelected without serious opposition.
His abilities as legislator are recog-
nlzed by his constituency without regard
to politics, who also know that knowing
the right and what is for the best interests
Of those he represents and of the whole
country as well, he has the moral STAN
ina to stand up and defend them.
