LOCAL MATTERS.

The half dozen gentlemen who con-
stituted the Union Labor convention
which met in lola last Saturday were
too modest, or in too much of hurry
to formulate a platform, 80 the people
of the county are at loss to know on
what grounds their candidates appeal
for support. We see however. by one
of our exchanges, that a convention OF
this party held in one of the southern
counties of the State adopted the fol-
lowing:
ResoIred, That We instruct our rep resenta-
tives to Introduce a resolution to the State of
Kansas, requesting the representatives OF the
general government to pass bill In Congress
taking up every mortgage on real estate in the
State OF Kansas with unlimited legal tender
money and give the present owners or their
heirs twenty years to redeemthe same, or less
ut one-half of one per cent interest annually.
Will our friend Capt. Moore, or Mr..
Power, or Mr.. Lindsey, or Mr.. Mat
son, or Mr.. Mccarthy, or DIR. Martin,
kindly inform curious public wheth.
er these are also their sentiments
We see by Washington dispatches
that Charles, F. Scott has been ap-
pointed pardon clerk Of the department
Of justice. Vice Judge Bottle resigned.
We are really deeply indebted to the
Administration for this mark Of its
distinguished consideration, our appre.
citation of the honor being all the more
profound because we were not an ap-
plicant for that or any other office; but
owing to the demands of private bust
ness we are Obliged to decline, with
thanks, the proffered position, trust
ing that the declination will not ser
iously embarrass the department OF
Justice or the Administration.
For the past two or three months
one has met on the streets only men
and women, with a few children at
intervals now and then. But school
has commenced and now three or four
times q day the streets are alive with
childred. swarming like bees, chatter
ing like magpies, happy as-children.
1t is a real pleasure to see them again,
to stumble over them and be over
whelmed by them. compelled to stand
to one side while the little royal high.
nesses are surging by. 1t is cold and
tough old heart indeed that is not
warmed and touched by the sight OF
them.
There was a terrible epidemic OF
dysentery and bloody fiux in Pope
county, Illinois, last summer. AS
many as five deaths occurred in one
day. Messrs. Walter Brothers, OF
Wsltersburg, sold $50 bottles of Cham.
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
during this epidemic and say they
never heard of its failing IN any case
when the directions were followed Ii
was the only medicine used that did
cure the worst cases. Many persons
were cured by it after the doctols had
given them up. % and so cent bottles
for sale by all druggists.
We ere i'm receipt of vigorous letter
from MIR. Winchester replying to Mr..
Kelley's last article which ought real
". in Justice to Mr.. W., to be publish
ed. But as the debate has reached its
parliamentary conclusion, the affirma-
tive having had two speeches and the
negative one, and as the question at
issue is of such nature that protrac
ted argument only leaves the dispn.
tants farther apart, We feel under ot.
legation, with all respect to both gen.
tlemeu. to let il end here.
The colored people deserve great
credit for the energy with which they
have worked up their Emancipation
Celebration, which is to be held at the
Park to-day, and We trust the crowd
i'm attendance will be large enough tC
Justify their labo-s. A number OF
interesting addresses are on the pro-
gram and it would be pleasant cour-
tesy for our citizens 10 testify theiI
sympathy with the occasion by at.
tendance at the grove.
