SENATOR RUSH. the Pawnee terror,
stormed and raved yesterday over the
proposition to lower the rate of inter
est. IL meant ruin and a horrible
death to thousands struggling for a
home. AS the good senator himself is
a lender of money, his wonderful dis
interestedness and sympathy for Dor
rowers is as striking as his periods
were lurid and electrifying, At hear
of his philanthropy, the poor may ex-
claim, ''save us from such friends, !"
but no heed should be taken of them
they know not what they say.

There is a good deal OF humbug and
nuisance about the sending of valen-
tines. A gentleman of the city got a
terrible scolding by letter Friday
from a young lady living out of town
who had received comic valentine
and jumped at the conclusion that he
had sent it. Anyone acquainted with
his simple and guileless nature would
readily acquit him of the charge, and
believe him when he said that he new
er in his life sent valentine, good or
bad. Hence we say the practice is a
foolish one, thai breeds suspicion, bad
blood and often sets folks by the ears.

The session is drawing to close and
many important measures yet to be
acted on, and some that cannot be for
want of time, yet good portion of yes
terday was taken up in the house by
the discussion of silly bill changing
Jake Admirers name to Valentine
Whitecrow. It may be very well to
change Jake's name, but custom and
law both accord the individual the
right to ask for such change. There
fore we fail to.catch the point in the
foolish bill alluded to. Kansas solons
ought to have little more dignity and
sense of fitness.

J. w. Thatcher, former business
man of this city, and whose family
still resides here, is now running a
grocery in Kansas City. Recently he
bought out a grocery there, and had it
but about week when the building
burned down. In transfer of the
property the insurance was not ar
ranged for, and though the policies
were all ready to be signed the next
day, yet the fire the night before made
it total loss to him. He is now run
ming another grocery there. Mr..
Thatcher is well known here, and many
will be interested in knowing of this
heavy loss to him.

THE ELECTRTFYING NIErHon.


The ''Rev." Sam Small, the apostle
is evangelizing Kansas City, town
greatly in favor with these two pulpit
heroes. 1t will be remembered that
Small failed to score a point in politics
down in Georgia last fall, by which
failure he was compelled to return to
the pulpit in order to make living.
AS a sermonizer he has to be sensa-
tional and pyrotechnic, lacking the
catchy and taking ways of Jones. His
theme at Kansas City is From the
Bar-room to the Rulpit.'' A local pa
per says ''he recounts the history of
his life, his early years and training,
and the seventeen years of dissipation
and debaucheries through which he
passed" The writer goes on to say
that paper and type would fail in
painting the feelings and emotions
which a portrayal of his experiences
conveyed to his electrified audience
1t was all very moving, no doubt,
and calculated to send a blizzard of
cold shivers scurrying down fellows
spine. But is not that an odd way of
putting the truths of Christianity be-
fore people who read and study?
Has it come to this, that
success in evangelizing is in
some manner proportional to the sue
cess with which such a reformed roue
can portray in vivid colors the revolving
character of his early debaucheries, and
by that means ''elecrify" people? If
so, peoples notions about the early
bringing up, the blameless characters
and pure lives, the theological training
and religious minds of those aspiring
to the pulpit should be corrected.
We may be in the wrong, but we
have no great share OF faith in a man
who loves to pose as a brand snatched
from the fire, and whose stock in trade
is the unsavory record of Seventeen
years of dissipation and debaucheries. >
Men of sensibilities and feelings who
have really reformed shrink naturally
from any allusion to early frailties
Nothing is more revolving than to bt
reminded of what they once were
What would you think of father who
would go about moulding the mind Of
his son to principles of virtue, temper
ance and goodness by portraying fol
his delectation the shameful record o.
his early years?

THE Leavenworth Times says that
Mayor Nicely and Senator Carroll are in
favor of closing up the joints in Leav-
enworth, not because they belive in
prohibition, but because the injury
done is not compensated by any contri-
button made to the city treasury. If
the business of selling liquor cannot be
made to share the public burdens, then
away with it, is their motto. In that
they are right. the more especially be-
cause the business is carried on in dis
reputable dives where all manner of
Bacchanalian orgies are carried on.

THE senate committee of ways and
means reported favorably a bill estab-

at Beloit and appropriating $25, 900 for
its support. Singularly enough more
petitions for this object flooded the
legislature than for any other purpose,
though there is score or two of other
measures of infinitely greater concern
to the people of the state than this
school project.

AN exchange says it is tired of hears
ing complaints about the expensiveness
of the legislature, and claims that the
members do enough 10 recompense the
state for the meager salary it pays
them. The talk about the expense of
the legislature to the state is dumb fool
ishness, and none but chuckle-heads
indulge in it. Making laws is an ex-
pensive business that can't be avoided
The legitimate expenses appear larger
than they are. But there is no way to
avoid them, and none but fool would
desire to do so, or to reduce them be-
low what is decent and respectable.
But what is more silly than that even,
is the idea that legislators do work
enough for the pay they get. A man
who would go to the legislature with
no higher ambition than to earn his
pay merely. would betray his constitu-
ency at the first opportunity. Such a
man is fit only for treason, stratagems
aid spoils. especially the last. The
pay is S3 day. If that is not enough
to command members highest eff
forts, he should stay at home and let
some one else serve the people who will
do so honestly. The pay is small,
but that is no reason why members
should shirk their duty, or sell out.
None but simpletons could conceive of
such delinquency as being general.

Death and Burial of Samuel 10y of Americus.
The death and burial of Samuel 10y,
of Americas, demand more than
passing notice. Although he had
reached many years beyond the allotted
span, yet his death will be received, by
all who knew him, with profound sor-
row. For exalted character and per-
sonal worth, as a husband, parent,
neighbor and citizen, he was a model
man. The death of such man is an
irreparable loss, not only to his family
and immediate friends, but to the COM
munity at large. He was a mar. that
others involuntarilv looked up
to and respected. The goodness
of his intentions, his high
sense of honor, his sound,
practical judgment and his discrimi-
mating ability in matters where justice
was involved, secured for him the con-
fidence of all in every relation of life.
On the morning of February 9Th. at
6:45, he passed away, aged 81 years,
less three days. On the Sth, after ap-
propriate funeral services, his remains
were conveyed to the Americas ceme-
terry, followed by an unusually large
concourse of sorrewing friends and
neighbors, all feeling that his death
was more of public than a private
misfortune. The family and other rela-
tives were not more stricken and bowed
down with grief than many who knew
him as kind and generous hearted
citizen. In his death the whole commun
ity have sustained loss which even
Time can never fully repay. Sill, his
excellent qualities will be remembered.
and many will acknowledge his good
works and be inspired by his example.
OF him it may be truly said, he has
not lived in vain. Let US cherish his
memory and emulate his virtues.
