A general feeling of relief was
experienced last Monday afternoon
when our society ladies and lassies
received their respective "bids" to a
dancing party to be given by Miss
Cora Roseberry. The invitations
were not surprise for it seems that
the handsome Miss Cora had recent
ly corroborated a society rumor
to the effect that this long expected
and greatly desired event, would
transpire at no distant date. Miss
R. lives just a pleasant distance
above town, and on last Thursday
evening, the time designated, a
carriage party consisting of about
twenty couple, left the city prompt
ly at eight o'clock. They were
duly received and welcomed by
Miss Cora, and after the usual
greetings and congratulations the
dancing parlor was thrown open
and everyone made merry by the
joyful exclamation "Partners for a
waltz" which echoed and re-echoed
through the massive halls of the
elegant residence of Capt. Roseberry.
Dancing was the prime amusement,
and this was continued until break
of day, when all congregated in
the reception room, and showered
their compliments and eternal
blessings on Mrs. Roseberry and
her charming daughter. "What a
perfectly elegant time" and "ohl
what a delightful party were the
general expressions uttered by the
delighted guests as they paid
their last respects, and, before
your reporter could collect another
bit of news the rafting of departing
carriages was heard, and the waving
of handkerchief as a token of good
luck closed the "Fete champetre.

JOHN BRIGHT.

Second only to Gladstone, John
Brigh. surpassed every other English
statesman now living in strength of
mind and force of eloquence. He was
born in 1911, and was a consistent qua
ker all his life. When a young man.
he associated himself with Richard
Golden in the anti-corn law league,
and became later one of the most elo-
quent members of the Manchester
school of politicians. He was by ma
ture a reformer and opposed to war.
He became an earnest friend of cleo
toral reform, in behalf of which his
greatest efforts as an orator were put
forth early in the Cos, since which time
he and Gladstone were associated po-
litically until the latter espoused the
Irish cause, when they could no longer
agree. This was singular turn in
Bright's political career, for twenty
years ago lie was an occasional visitor
in Ireland, where he accepted Ovations
from the agitators, and delivered adj
dresses urging them to maintain their
organization and prosecute their cause.
Long before Gladstone became a con-
vert to Irish nationalism, Bright urged
and spoke in favor of freedom and JUS
tice for that people. When his oppor.
tunity came he was an old man, per.
haps in his dOrage, and the inherent
prejudices of his race in favor of power
and authority overbalanced his sense
of justice and fairness.

RYAN,s EUCCEssOR.

Who will he be? A question upper
most in the minds Of the politicians
just now. Governor Humphrey has
decided, says the State Journal, TO call
an early election, and as soon as Mr..
Ryan's resignation is officially notified
to him. will fix the time for holding it.
Although congress does not convene
until December, there is considerable
patronage to be looked after by Mr..
Ryan's successor, and for that reason
his election is desired as soon as posi-
BILE.
The number of gentlemen who would
like to step into his shoes is not exactly
legion, but it is large enough TO give
the people an opportunity to select a
good man and one eminently worthy of
the place.
There are eleven counties in the dis
trict: Shawnee, Waubaunsee, Usage,
Woodson, Morris, Marion, Lyon,
Greenwood, Coffey. Chase and Butler.
The majority of them will have candi-
dates, Shawnee perhaps taking the lead
as to number. A. B. Campbell and
Charles Curtis of Topeka are already
announced and several others publicly
mentioned as candidates, among them
being George w. Veale, Captain j. B.
johnson and Ex-Governor Osborne.
]. b. Murdoch of Butler county, 1.
M. Miller, of Council Grove, Harrison
Kelly of Coffey county, and Frank
Doster of Marion are regarded as as
aspirants. Usage county will prObab'
ly step to the front with Hon. Jake
Admire of the Usage City Free Press
Whether Lyon county will present the
Dames of any of her prominent citizens
remains to be seen. Doubtless there
are a few such, any one OF whom
would not repine at his fateif called
on to assume the mantle Of legislative
authority.
AT the congressional convention
held in this city last summer, eighty
one delegates were accredited as fol.
lows: Butler, O.; Chase, 4; Coffey,
Greenwood; Z, Lyon, o; Marion 2; Nor
ris, 5: Usage IL; Shawnee, Is Waubun-
see, 8; and Woodsdon, 3. This will be
changed somewhat, as the representa-
ton will be based on the last general
election.
