WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July s, 1885,
Mr.. Harrison has apparently bent
the knee to the republican Senatorial
combination, and the fact has created
no little gossip here. 1t has of course
been well known for some time past
that quite a number Of less promi-
nent republican Senators were agriev-
ed because Of real and fancied Sights
they have received from the admins
tratiOn, and many people predicted
open hostilities between Harrison and
the Senate next winter. A number
of republican Senators, including Al
lison, Cullom, Chandler, and Dolph
and Ingalls,, consulted over this
matter and decided to hold a caucus
of republican Senators in the near flu
ture. They called on the President
in order as they expressed it "to
know where he STOOD" They were
surprised to find that he "stood" just
where they did; believing that no
important move or appointment
should be made without consultation
of the party leaders and that their
wishes should be consulted in all APP
pointments in their respective Sec
tons. Senator Cullom expressed
great pleasure at what he considered
the Presidents change of heart. Some
people may accuse Mr.. Harrison of
weakness, but for my part think he
was very shrewd to "make up" with
the Senators.
Great is the force of example. Com
missioner of Pensions Tanner short
time since made his daughter his
private secretary at salary of 81 800
a year, now the new Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs, Thos. j. Morgan, of
Rhode Island, has his wife for pri-
vate secretary at salary of $1,000 a
year. Seeing the action of these Off
Gals. Dr. Dorchester, superintendent
of Indian schools had his wife APP
pointed Special Agent. This enables
her to travel around with the doctor,
when he visits the different Indian
schools and get her expenses paid and
a salary Of $500 day from kind old
Uncle Sam. All this time there is a
law against the employment of more
than one member of the same family
by the same department.
Attorney General Miller has dis
covered curiosity. 1t is Virginia
republican who declines an Office.
Mr. c. A. Heetsman, who was re.
Gently appointed assistant U. S. At
tOrney for the western district of
Virginia, has written declining the
Office on the ground that he should
have been appointed attorney, and
that the smaller Office was given him
as the result of a compromise between
certain parties, which he refuses to
recognize. Here's innocence for you.
Does not this young gentleman know,
for he must be young-very young,
that in politics King Compromise
rules the roost. Seldom in the histo.
ry of the country has President OF
even governor of a state been nomi.
mated without the assistance of the all
powerful compromise. Had this
gentleman effected compromise
with his temper the foolish letter
would probably never have been

Two advance couriers are now in
Europe arranging for the expedition
of the fifty American Workingmen
to be sent over by the Scripts League
of Western Newspapers. The Paris
exposition is the main point of the
expedition, but this body of artisans
will also visit all the great manufac-
turing centers of England, Belgium,
Germany and Scotland. All the ex-
penses of this tour Of fifty American
wOrkingmen will be paid by the
Scrip League, which embraces four

enterprise of American newspapers
has challenged the admiration of the
world, and this is probably the most
extensive and costly expedition ever
undertaken by the press GfaBy coun-
try.

GEN. r. F. PATTERSON has been
appointed postmaster at Memphis.
The appointment is quite satisfactory
to Memphis Democrats, and is sup
posed to be due to Senator Harris in
fiuence. The Republicans are not at
all pleased with the appointment,
however, as Gen. Patterson is a good
business man and not a politician.

THERE is some probability of the
removal of the Cumberland Presbyte'
rian Publishing House from Nash,
vile. The last General Assembly of
the church decided to put up a per-
manent building for the business, the
one now occupied being rented), and
the committee will locate this build
ing in the city Offering the greatest
inducements. Louisville, KY, and
Evansville, Ind, are both making
big bids for this institution, and
Nashville will have to come up with
a handsome offer or it will lose it. 1t
will not be creditable to the city OF
Nashville to allow this publishing
house to be removed from there.

THE Sullivan-Kilrain prize fight
came off at Richburg, Miss, about
100 miles from New Orleans, last
Monday. The brutes fought seventy
five rounds, and Sullivan won the
battle, though both men were badly
bruised. The sheriff appeared on the
scene just before the fight and COM
manded the peace, but was merely
laughed at by the thugs and the
fight went on. About 5000 men
were present and witnessed the fight,
paying from $40 to $15 for admission
tickets. The principals and the mob
of vicious spectators returned to New
Orleans after the fight, where Sulli-
van celebrated his victory with a
bowling drunk, four policemen being
required to control him. No arrests
were made. Again we see how feeble
the law is in some cases.

Mr.. HARRISON is quoted as ex,
pressing the opinion that Congress
will next winter abolish all internal
revenue taxes except on whisky, and
do away with Collectors and a great
army of deputies and other officials,
putting the collection of the whisky
tax in the hands of the U. S. Mar
shals. This is the Republican scheme
to prevent any reduction of the tariff.
Such action would curtail the offices
very materially, and the Republican
party is not noted for doing such
things as that. They would vastly
prefer to increase the offices.

What Produces Death.

Some one says that few men die OF age.
Almost all persons die of disappointment
personal, mental, or bodily toll, or acct
dent. The passions kill men sometimes
even suddenly. The common expression,
schoked with passion" has little exagger-
alton in it, for even though not sudden
ly fatal, strong passions shorten life.
Strong-bodied men often die young
weak men live longer than the strong,
for the strong use their strength and the
weak have none to use. The latter take
care of themselves. the former do not.
As it is with the body SO it is with the
mind and temper. The strong are apt to
break. or, like the candle, run; the weak
burn out. The inferior animals, which
live temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed term OF years. The horse lives
% years, the OK Is or 20, the lion about
20, the hog about 10 or Il, the rabbit
the guinea-pig 6 OFT. The numbers all
bear proportion to the time the animal
takes to grow its full size. But man of
all animals, is one that seldom comes up
to the average. He ought to live hun
dred years. according to the physiology
cal Law, for five times twenty are one hun
dred; but instead OF that, he scarcely
reaches an average of four times the
growing period. The reason is obvious
man Is not only the most irregular and
most Incorporate, but the most laborious
and hard working OF all animals. he is
always the most irritable OF all animals,
and there is reason to believe, though we
cannot tell what an animal secretly feels,
that more than any other animal, man
cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and CON-
sumes himself with the fire Of his own
reflections. Scientific Awevsns.

The Popular Line

To the east is the Burlington Route
(Hannibal & ST. Joseph r. RI. The ser
vice by this line has been constantly i'm
proved until it has \reached a degree of
excellence surpassed by none; and equal
ed by few. The Burlington's ELF is
probably the most popular train running
between the Missouri river and Chicago
being solid through vestibule train of
Pullman sleepers and free chair cars.
Leaving Kansas City, Atchison and st.
Joseph after supper, the passenger ar
rives in Chicago at 9:15 in the morning.
Having taken breakfast on one of the
Burlington's world renowned dining cars
he is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tons.
For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the "Eli' takes dining car
out of Kansas City on which east-bound
passengers are served with a supper
which is equaled by few hotels.
The Burlington's St Louis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
future to be the favorite line between the
Missouri river and st. Louis. This train
consisting of through sleepers, chair cars
and coaches leaves Kansas City, Atchison
and ST. Joseph after supper and puts the
passenger in st. Louis for breakfast, and
ample time to make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in mind
that the Burlington kansas City st. Jo-
seph & Council Bluffs R. RI is the only
line running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas City and st Jo-
seph and ST. Paul and Minneapolis. This
is the short line between Kansas City,
ST. Joseph and Omaha. Through daily
trains with sleepers and chair cars.
In whatever direction you travel be
sure your tickets read over the Burling-
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the
greatest amount of comfort, with the
least expense OF money or time.

was paid in by the several towns
represented something over SOU.
There was paid out about 500,
leaving a balance on hand of about
$500 which has never been account
ed for. We are informed that some
time last summer the executive COM
mittee met at Winona to effect a
settlement; that they notified Mr..
Black of their coming, and requested
him to be present and report; but
that he found it convenient to be
absent; that he has failed and refused
to make statement, although often
requested to do so. We are in
formed that recently Mr.. Black
stated that he owed the association
but little if anything. Ii he made
this statement he is guilty of a
gross misrepresentation. He owes,
as we said before, about $500.
Every town in the association is in
terested in having this matter settled,
and it has already been delayed too
long. The next we hear from Mr..
Black will probably be that the as
ISOLATION owes him something. Wa
Keeney paid $3.50 into the treasury,
and is entitled to have about half
of that amount refunded. We
could use that amount at the pres
ent time to good advantage in ad-
vertising our county. Other towns
belonging to the association would
like to have their share refund
ed. The association when formed
was a good thing, and doubt
less would have been of much
benefit had it not been that bad
crops followed, making it impossible
to induce any one to come to west
ern Kansas at that time. We may
feel like recognizing some time.
If we ever do it will be necessary to
show up clean record first in re-
gard to the funds heretofore sub
scribed. We have waited too long,
already, but now let US see that the
matter is settled. Mr.. Black is
more interested than any other in
dividual, and we are surprised that
instead of evading the executive
committee he has not insisted upon
a settlement.

We call attention to communi-
cation in this issue from Farmer
No. g." 1t was written by one of
our oldest citizens, and one of the
most intelligent farmers in the
county. We also call attention to
several clippings from our exchanges,
and could produce many more upon
the same subject-that Of breaking
up the prairie-but want Of space
forbids. That it is the one thing
most needful seems to be the opin-
ion of all. The best way to reach
the desired result is the question
now before the people for discussion.
We think that if congress would
turn its attention in this direction
instead Of trying to solve the prob
lem of irrigation some practical re-
suits might follow. The commune
ty in which we are most interested,
northwest Kansas, cannot be sue
cessfully irrigated without an i'm
mense outlay of money, and even
then it is problematical. A very few
thousand dollars will solve the prob
lem of turning over the prairie,
and we think it entirely practical
and feasible. We hope by early
spring to be able to inform our
readers when and where in Trego
county they can see a steam plow
in operation that will turn over one
hundred acres in day and plant to
crop at the same time.

On and after this date We will not pub

an obejct of calling people together for
the purpose of making money out OF

admission is charged or money otherwise
raised. We make this rule after mature

many impositions. We shall treat all
alike. "You pay and we pay" shall be
our rule. We ask you no more compli-

willing to do our share at all times,
although the flesh is sometimes
weak and the finances low. Church
festivals and educational institutions
are all of a public benefit, no differ
ence whether an admission is
charged or not, and we always feel

CHRISTMAS comes on December
25th this year. We don't mention
this as an item of news, but merely
Ger the purpose of reminding you
that the most interesting Of all holi-
days will soon be here. To those of
us of older years Christmas time
must always be pleasant memory.
We can never forget how ardently
and anxiously we waited its coming.
What associations cluster around
the name of Christmas. Many of
us have long since strayed away
from the scenes of our childhood and
from the paternal roof, but the rec
objections thereof are wildly brought
to our minds with each recurring
Christmas. We may never see
home or loved ones again, but the
memory is enduring. When Christ
mas comes we neither forget nor
are forgotten. We believe in be-
slowing gifts on Christmas; not for
their value, but as an evidence OF
love and friendship. The children
particularly should be remembered,
no difference how trivial the gift.
They will appreciate it and remem-
Der it, not for few days only, but
for all their lives. How sad must
be the lot of the poor child who ex-
poets nothing on Christmas. We
hope to see some arrangements per-
fected through church or school
whereby every child in Wa-Keeney
may receive something, and that is
our purpose in reminding our read
ers that Christmas will soon be here.
