WE notice an attack through Sthe
Lever by Lee III. bowling, on Rev.
Bernard Kelly, most of which is COM
posed of deliberate falsehoods regard
ing Dowling's visit and speech at. EN-
poria. The facts in the matter are
that Bowling, during his talk in this
city, made several statements which
were false, and Mr.. Kelly told
him after his speech that he was mis-
taken. When he reiterated the as
sertions Mr.. Kelly told him that if he
would publish the same in his paper
just as he uttered them here, he (Mr.
Kelly would make the paper present
of SO. Bowling gives garbled &C
count of the affair, and states that MI
Kelly offered to bet $40 on question
of veracity. Judged by his so-called
speech in this city and his editorial
writings in the Lever, the republican
party will make votes by having the
services of such an ignOramus engaged
by the third party people. He viii

dresses an intelligent audience, and

IT is question whether the United
States government can punish crimes
committed in the Neutral Strip, as the
Federal law now stands, but there is
no question that its authority is soon
to be tested in the matter. Sam Rob-
inson, Chamberlain and others impli-
Gated in the recent murders, together
with Sam Wood and Ed Short of
Woodsdale, have been arrested by a
United States marshal and will be
brought at once to Topeka to await in
vestigation of the case by the Federal
court. There should be no nook nor cor
ner in this broad land where red-haDd-
ed crime can stalk without fear, and
if it shall be found that there is such d
spot, Congress should lose no unneces'
sary time in placing it within the pur-
view of law.

A grand rally Of Republicans took
place at Toledo Saturday, at which the
people were served with an old
fashioned barbecue-roast ox-music,
speeches, pole raising and other demon
strations appropriate to such an occa-
sion. There were about one thousand
people present who were addressed by
Col. A. M. Flory and j. G. Burchfield,
of this city. The people were all en-
thusiasm and enjoyed the day with I'M
bounded pleasure and interest. In the
evening the exercises were ended by a
grand pyrotechnic display, under the
auspices of the Cottonwood Falls fam
beau club. One of the attractive fea-
lures of the day was a chorus of thirty
six young ladies from the Falls,
dressed in white, who sang number
of patriotic songs to the delight of all
present.

OUR readers will remember the let
ter alluded to below, which was pub
lished by the Emporia Democrat,
among other papers, and was by it,
like the others, gloated and gloried
over. 1t will also be remembered
that Rev. Henry Mackay, formerly of
this city, now of Fort Scott, wrote
THE NEWS communication on the sub
ject, claiming, as it is now proven to
be the case, that the letter was a for
gerry. Following is the telegram:

lesque sermon, purportlng to have been
delivered by the bishop of London.
was written by a leading social
list and published in a revolutionary
newspaper here, the Justice. 1t was
the most revolutionary sermon ever
preached, beginning with '.L'ellow-citi-
Zens," and in it the good old bishop re-
nounced his bishopric, his parish, his
seat in the house of lords and $50 900.
He arraigned the church for its unfaith-
fulnness to labor's holy cause and said
he should thereafter preach socialism

There has been q good deal of specu-
latiOn as TO the origin of theexpressiOn,

quent use in the Chicago convention.
The following explanation is furnished
by the Ohio State Journal: 1.-THE cry
OF Hes all right,n now extensively
used in Republican features, like many
another that was afterWard made pop
ular, is said to have originated as 3
term of derision for the Prohibitionlsts
and for st. John, the candidate Of that
party in 1884. It had its origin IN the
West and in about this way: Governor
st. John had been Republican party
leader, as is well known, and when he
accepted the Prohibition nomination
for the presidency he was roundly de-
nounced by the Republicans. They
started the cry, "What is the matter
with st. John?'' The answer to this
was, sob, he's all righti'' This was
accompanied with significant shake
of the head, which was meant to imply
that the Democratic barrel had been
tapped for st. John. and that he was
abundantly supplied with lucre and
liquid refreshments. The Prohibition
lists adopted the cry and used it during
their canvass in 1884. When their con
vention met at Indianapolis in May last

friends in attendance. st. John wa
one of the strong men and he wa
made the permanent chairman. A
this first appearance upon the crowde'
convention platform chorus of voice
cried out: whats the matter with 81
John?" The answering shout fror
the multitude came like tol
nado: "He's all right!' and that wa
St. Johns welcome by the Prohibition
, ists.''

We learn from E. G. Edwards who
returned Saturday from the north
ern part of this county, that the storm
in that section, Friday aftern@n, was
very severe. In the town of Alien a
small frame house and IL barn were
blown down and near that place, two
barns and house belonging to Judge
De Camp were totally demolished.
Jake Taylor had fifteen head of fat cat
tie killed by lightning. They drifted
down with the storm against the wire
fence which proved conductor of the
electricity that did its work. The
Wiser ranch, about five miles north of
Allen, did not escape. There were 200
acres of millet, and 100 acres of rye in
stacks blown away and great deal OF
corn broken down. James b. Duncan
and others lost a lot of flax which was
scattered beyond the hope of recovery,
The rain accompanying the wind storm
was not very heavy. Farther north
there was more rain and less wind. The
crops in that part of the county have
not suffered from dry weather and are
reported good.

The following is part of letter that
reached this Office some days since, and
deserves passing notice:
Coffee OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Topeka, July ID, 1888.
LEE IL. BOWLING, ESQ, DEAR SIR
l am IN receipt of a communication
from Emporia, saying that you had de-
livered lecture or speech in that city
in which you made the statement that
in conversation you had with me and
Col. Hallowell, had stated that / was
afraid to vigorously enforce the prohib-
itOry law in Wichita for fear of driving
men from the republican party.
5. b. BRADFORD, Atty. Gen.
The accused at once answered the
attorney general, emphatically denying
that any such statement had ever been
made. The editor of The Leader
never had the pleasure of meeting
Hon. s. b. Bradford and never re-
ported him as having said any such
thing. Kelly's statement was made out
of whole cloth, and Is a studied
malicious falsehOod. He was present
during the entire address, and could
not have misunderstood the remarks;
but then knowing MIR. Kelly's repu
tation for veracity we expected nothing
better. 1t is wonder that he die
not report the speaker, as saying that
to his positive knowledge the attorney
general kept wine in his own cellar
| and ran joint for the accommodation o.
his friends.-The Leader.
Mr.. Bowling should be little SLOW
about making such statements as tn,
above, as he did make an assertion sim
liar to the one alluded to above, ant
quite number of reputable citizens o.
this place heard him and are pre-
pared to make affidavit that he die
so. Mr.. Bowling made an ass of him
self in his harangue in this city, anC
only succeeded in disgusting those VIII
heard him. by his barefaced assert ons
of exploded lies and his reckless use o.
figures and rash statements that only
an ignoramus would make. AS fo
elocution, he knows not the meaning o
the word, his tongue rafting arounC
in his mouth like clapper in broker
bell, and with about as much melody
and sense.
