The Hartford Courant sedately OBJ
serves that ''these county seat wars in
the northern ans-Mississippi states,
midnight whippings in Indiana and
Ohio, etc., are nuts TO the southern
newspapers. Some of them keep a
standing headline nowadays, Crime at
the NORTH Small blame to them; turn
about is fair play, says the Gourant. The
chronic lawlessness in certain counties
on the northern bank of the Ohio, the
armed collisions between rival Kansas
towns, are more disgraceful and mex
cusable than like occurrences IN
Mississippi or Texas would be:
and for perfectly obvious reasons. >
We have no defense to offer for the re-
gretable occurrences alluded to in this
state, but can not refrain from suggest
ing to our down-east contemporary that
when it shall have corrected such like
transactions in its own New England
Massachusetts White Cap outrages, for
instance,) it will be quite time to prod
the north, west or south for their ebuli-
tions Of lawfessnesS.

commemorate Generosity.

1t is not generally known that the
Santa Fe company made the widow OF
Dad Myers, the veteran engineer who
was killed near Lawrence last summer,
present of $1,000 in cash. Such is a
fact, however. The derailment which
caused Myers death was wholly acct
dental, and caused by a land slide. The
company was not, therefore, liable for
damages by legal proceedings, but in
consideration Of the long and faithful
service of the unfortunate engineer, he
having been with the company fourteen
years and remained at the throttle dur
ing two strikes, the company volun-
tarily made the widow this valuable
present,

The eastern papers in publishing the
account of the killing of a cattle king
near Wichita carefully quote ''cgttle
king" 1t is said that a man who owns
three cows and perhaps two of them gone
dry, is called 'cattle king in Wichita
Topeka Journal.
If the ownership of three COWS, fresh
or dry. be prerequisite to such title
then Topeka is not liable to boast any
cattle kings very soon. Cows cost
money, while chalk and water are cheap,
as every Topeka boarding house keeper
knows

The attention of the railroad COM
missioners of Kansas. as also the legisla-
ture, is called to the fact that the Santa
Fe. Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and
Southern Kansas railroads are giving
special rates to the Kansas Dairy associ-
alton which meets at Topeka on Feb
ruary 9Th, and that these same roads
refused such rates for two very large
and important conventions held at
Wichita this last fall.

Grants Tdea OF a Retreat.

Captain Mills, member OF the Wash
ington Continentals, was with General
Grant in Virginia. He overhead the
conclusion of conversation between
Lincoln and Grant just before the march
to Richmond began. After talking some
minutes Lincoln put out his hand to
Grant, and, with the greatest serious
ness, said: Il hope the next news ]
hear from you will not be that you are
moving on Washington"
General Grant held Lincoln's hand
several seconds before he replied. He
said: ''Mr President, when | retreat

Potomac in one boat.

1.-The seasons oyster crop of the Della
wa river and bay is a failure" reports
the Wilmington News. Three hun
dred and sixty oyster schooners and
sloops have been laid up at different
points in the river and bay during the
past week, because the oysters are not
worth carrying TO market. 1t is eX-
pected that the coming week others will
be tied up as fast as they arrive, and
thousands of men who find employment
during the winter in oyster dredging VIII
be compelled to seek other means of
earning their living" Not necessarily.
All they need TO do is 10 transfer their
schooners ashore, place them on wheels
and set sail for Kansas. They can find
plenty to do here by the time they get
here in plying their old vocation and
aiding in the development of the oyster
industry in the to-be-created salt lakes in
the salt belt.

The probability of a ruction between
this government and Germany over the
Soman affair is not very strong. Prince
Bismarck will secure every advantage
possible by diplomacy (and in that role
lie is without a peer, perhaps but he will
not press the claims of his government
against the rights and interests of citi-
zens Of this country or the government,
to the extent of breaking the entente
cordiale between the two governments
If the condition of affairs in France and
the relations between that people and
the Germans were less strained the
Berlin government might display more
aggressive spirit, but serious foreign
complications is the last thing it wants
or Will have if it can be avoided. Talk
of anything like clash of arms with
Germany, therefore, sounds to us like
idle gossip.

A North Carolina town furnishes a
hero who will be worshipped at dis
lance by thousands of sweet girls. Rich
ard West, Kingston. North Carolina, is
his name and address. The other day,
when out riding with his sweetheart, her
horse became frightened and dashed
away at full speed. The young man,
seeing her perilous condition, at once
dashed his horse, and although her horse
was several feet ahead of him, he soon
overlook her, and calling out for her to
loose her foot from the stirrup, in an in
slant, while both horses were running at
break-neck speed, he caught her about
the waist and snatched her from the
jaws of death. When he had stopped
his horse the young lady was completely
overcome with fright. Otherwise she

Mr.. Vests famous phrase about the
''war to the death" which he, Mr. Cleve-

declared against the protected industries

slight variation by the leading Demo

courage, will fight protection to the fin

this were so, it would of course be well
that the country should be thus apprised

The effect Of mild winter weather on
the death rate in New York continues to
be very percephble, The report of the

week shows that pneumonia, bronchitis,
phthisis are less fatal than usual at this
period. The death rate Is 10 per 200
against an average of 26. Sc.
On the other hand high temperature

~ high rate of mortality from scarlet fe-
yer and dyphtheria. There were fully
three times as many deaths from scarlet
fever last week as the average for the
corresponding week of the last five

 It IS only natural that President Cleveland should return promptly to the practice of tho profssslon in which he was activly and success sfuily engaged before entering pub lie life. His career in politics has therefore, been so short that office seeking and office, holding have not become habits of life ts hlm. He is a man of active mind. with great capacity for work, and he has in dulgsd himself in this faculty since entering public life in 1882. He will. therefore. take quite naturally again to the routine of lawyers ffice, in which he will deal with the largest and most important is- sue ts be found outside the field of politics.
