When Did the Var End.

This question, interesting from the
historical point of view, has become
practically important to the enlisted men
of the army, under the new law which
allows them to count war service as
double time toward the thirty years
needed for retirement.
The surrender of Lee occurred in April
1865, and the capitulations OF the other
confederate armies followed a few
weeks later; but there vas fighting
in Georgia through the month Of
April and in Texas the last engage
ment OF the war occurred on the 18th
of May at Palmetto ranch. All through
that year troops were retained IN various
parts of the south and a decision Of the
United States courts has fixed upon june
l.. 1855. As the true date OF the close OF
the war for legal purposes. IN conse-
quenCe of the issue OF a proclamation 10
that effect. But that proclamation ex-
cepted Texas. and for that state the date
was afterward put al August %, 1855.

Col. j. r. HallOWell.

ON the Pratt Republican.
Col. Hallowell the gentleman who
will represent this district in the next
congress, was in the city yesterday. He
addressed large and enthusiastic audi
ence in the rink at o'clock in the after
noon. Col. Hallowell is a fluent and
eloquent talker, and he discussed the
issues of the day in a mastery manner.
Jerry Simpson and the Peoples party
HaIlowe made many friends in this
cou Ity who will, during the campaign,
pull off their coats for the "beardless
colonel" Hallowell will beat Jerry
Simpson in Pratt county by good sized
majority.

When Col Polk goes back to the piney
woods Of North Carolina 10 talk 10 the
tar-heels upon the great and burning
question of sending him TO the United
States senate, he can say 10 them he saw
at Topeka a city of 10000 population with
out saloon.-Topeka Capital
Well, If he does he will state that that is
not true, and nobody knows it better
than the Capital. Does the esteemed
suppose that after vlllifying and abus-
ing the gentlemen even while a guest Of
its city, it can induce him by such cheap
taffy TO 90 home and lie about its town,
either As TO size or moral co dition? II

miscreant of deeper die than even the
alleged incident of his ordering has COM
mRnd to shoot lot of Union prisoners

Topeka Begs the Question.

From the State Journal.
If the Republican party is defeated in
this state this fall, it will be because the
Atchison Champion has declared for free
trade, the Leavenworth Times is fighting
Governor Humphrey, the Lawrence
journal and Record are bound to down
Funston, the Emporia Republican has
repudiated ingalls,, the Fort Scott Mon
itor is in a family row over Gen. Rice 5
secession. The Marion Record is scoring
John J. Ingalls,, the Wichita EAGLE is
advocating resubmission, and so on adj
infinitum. The result of all this quarrel
ing in Republican ranks is not hard to
see. DISCRIMINATION means disaster.
Let the party unite solidly on the fight
against the Original package" saloon.

The Free Schools.

General Grant.
In republic like ours, where the citi-
zen is the sovereign and the official the
servant, where no power is exercised ex-
cept by the Will of the people. it is inn
portant that the sovereign-the people
should possess intelligence. The free
school is the promoter of that intelli-
gence which is to preserve us as a free
nation. If we are to have another con-
test in the near future of our national
existence, l predict that the dividing
line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but
that between patriotism and intelligence
on the one side and superstition, ambi-
ton and ignorance on the other.

Hitherto the BaptIsts as a denomina-
ton have been 10th to take any formal
action in purely political matters, but
in their state convention at Topeka dur
ing the past week, they made a depar-
ture by resolving 70 mot support any
party that fayors the resubmission of the
prohibitory amendment TO a vote of the
people" We have no disposition to call
in question their sincerity and the mo-
tives that prompt their action in this
matter, but cannot help remarking the
contrast between this and their early
history in this country, and which is
pointed 20 with pride on all occasions,
when they were sticklers for the widest
liberty of conscience and personal action.
That Topeka departure was enough 10

The Average Intelligence Rules.

S0caker keel-
1t is wonderful spectacle 10 see gov
eminent with siXty-four millions. and
more wonderful when that government
Is carried on by the people themselves.
Did you ever think what was meant by
government by the people," 1t does
not mean a government by the rich, for
that would be a government of the few: it
does not mean a government by the most
intelligent, for that might disqualify you
or me: it does not mean the government
of the highest morality, for that would
lie the mele mum: it does not mean a
government of the poor, nor any single
class of citizens, but it means a govern
ment by the average intelligence of all,
rIch and poor, intelligent and ignorant.

Jerry's Heterophemies.

From the Larned ChrOnoscOpe.
Jerry Simpson told the people that the
government built warehouses for the dis
tilleries to store their whisky in. 1t is a
point blank lie. jerry Simpson told the
people there was only eight dollars per
capita in circulation. It is point blank
lie. Jerry Simpson told the people that
the government paid guards to protect
the whisky stored in the government
warehouses. 1t is a lie. Jerry Simpson
told the people that the new silver bill
would not increase the volume of cur
rency one cent. 1t is the biggest kind of
a lie, and the most ridiculous of all his
lies. If you want to be safe never repeat
anything Jerry has said until you are
quite sure that the statement has not
cen proven a lie.

1t is estimated that ten and half mil
lion dollars have been drawn into the in
terior-the west and south-from the
money centers of the east within the
past two weeks. This accounts for the
reports of scarcity Of money in the east,
and also constitutes the strongest kind of
an argument for the expansion of the
volume of our circulating medium,
There is not as much money in circula-
tion in this country today by half as the
the country's commercial and industrial
interests require.

The United States government has no.
titled the Italian government that no
Italian immigrants who have been under
sentence in the courts of their native
country, will be permitted TO land in
America. The government has been a
long time getting up to this point, and
the delay has been greatly to the injury
of the best interests of the community at
large; but now that it has taken the
stand it is hoped it will maintain it, and
make it of universal application.

A hundred farmers lost all their invest
ments in an Alliance store at Winfield.
But there is nothing surprising in the
statement;it is just a repetition of others
experiences in that line. Several years
ago when the Grange undertook to do
the very things the Alliance is doing now
their efforts ended in failure in every
instance. The instances wherein men
make a success in undertakings of the
details of which they are totally ignorant
are rare indeed.

President Harrison will no doubt be
able 10 select a thoroughly competent
man to succeed Justice Miller on the
bench of the United States supreme
court without the assistance or advice OF

his personal interests-as far as srch con-
sideration is admissable-would suggest
the name Of Judge Gresham for the pos

So Everybody Says.

From the ~ u star
Says the ST. Louis Republic: "Bv leav-
ing the White House and making a
stumping trip through the west, Mr.
Harrison has violated the proprieties OF
the presidency" Nonsense; Mr.. Cleve-
land did everything that Alr. Harrison
has done, ahd the Republic did not &C
cuse him of violating proprieties. Such
talk is partisanship run mad. II the
president can spare little time from his
Office to get out among the people, SO
much the better for all concerned.

it contains the latest news and arrives at
this postoffice several hours earlier than
any other paper we can get.

The late Justice Miller was placed on
the supreme bench just twelve years af-
ter he was admitted to the bar. And it
will be remembered, by those whose
memory runs that far back, that this
circumstance, together with the fact
that he had never held any official posi-
ton, Judicial or other, afforded a pre-
text for severe criticism Of his appoint
nent. But his career for thirty years
has proven that in his appointment, as
in almost every other official act Presi-
dent Lincoln made no mistake.

A Fine Display at the Fair.
We call the attention Of our readers to the
advertisement on our local page Of the mu-
sic house of g. w. jackson, No. ~ Main
street, in the new Bailey block. Mr.. Jack
son. the proprietor, is the pioneer music
dealer OF Montana, having cast his lot
among the people of the state many years
ago, and to just such energy and persever-
anoe as he has manifested in his business Is
due the rise and progress Of Montana.
Mr.. jackson deserves his we'll earned title,
viz: .The leading music dealer of Mon
tana." He owes his great success in part to
the magnificent line of pianos and organs
he handles. Those sold by him many years
ago are to-day advertisements that speak
louder words of praise than any pen can
write.
This enterprising dealer will have at the
fair grounds one Of the finest displays of
musical instruments ever seen at q Mon
tana fair. and has engaged for the entire
week the renowned PetermAnn family.
who will delight all visitors to Mr.. jack
