A Man Who Knows Him.

EDITOR NEWS: The Topeka Capita
and other papers are at present giving
great prominence 10 one Samuel j
Crawford, who has for some time bee
engaged in vile diatribe against John
Davis, OF Junction City. Many of the
citizens of Kansas who do not know
who this Samuel j. Crawford is, and
who may be led astray by him, may like
to know who he is, and what he is, and
was. AS to what he was: In ante.
uellum days he was a jack-leg lawyer
occupying little, dingy office IN Gar
nett, and from whence he entered the
army, where he made himself name
for good fighter, and from which he
was taken to preside as governor of the
state of Kansas at a period when good
fighting qualities gave a man prestige
over those possessing all the better
qualities which 60 to make sterling
manhood. Had brains been the requi'
site for guhernatorial honOrs in Kansas
in 1864, S. j. Crawford would have beer
the last man in either the army or civil
life elevated to that position. Success
was what was wanted ut that time.
Military prestige was the avenue to sue
cess, anu Crawford won, on this, and on
nothing else. Brains did not count ia
that campaign any more than it does
now. He did not have the brains to In.
dite his letter of acceptance of the nom
nation, but delegated that duty to John
r. Montgomery, the adjutant of his
regiment (the End Kansas, colOred,) and
what political paper it was! A fifteen
year-old school boy of to-day would be
ashamed of it. If any one doubts this,
let him 60 to Topeka and search the files
of the papers of Kansas published al
that time, which are now Oh file In
state historical society.
l said brains did not count in the cam
paigh of 1864, neither did it in 1856, sc
Crawford won again, After two years
brains began to have some influence In
Kansas politics, and then, Crawford
could not be used about the state house
to advantage. The politicians must gel
rid of him, so he was given supernu-
merary position at Washington, where
he has been for 10! these many years,
drawing a large salary for work which
should have been done by the Kansas
delegation in congress. Having grown
rich through political intrigue and fa'
yoritism, he has descended little lower
if possible, and gone TO vilifying the
men who make it possible for such men
to be tolerated in any place or in any
position, civil or political. That he was
an ignorant and uncOuth pettifogger, L

A Touching Scene.

A Touching Scene.
1t was one of those little incidents
that seldom occur in the lifetime of a
nation, a touching scene that melted all
hearts to tears and sOftened all animOsi-
ties.
In the midst of heated debate in
convention Sept. at st. Louis, when
the plank in the platform was under
discussion which resolved that the SOL
dier should be paid the difference be-
tween coin and paper money forservices
in the army as according to agreement,
some one in the convention rose and
said that lie did not look upon such Il
proposition as just; that there were men
il; the assembly whom we had received
AS delegates and who had fought under
the confederate banner and he believed
it would produce dissatisfaction. lie
called on Maj. MO>ely, who had been
carrying northern lead in his body since
the rebellion, to express himself upon
the subject.
The Major arose with animated cOun-
tenance and voice trembling with emo
ton, and said, "Mr. Chairman, ladies
and gentlemen of the convention: l
want to say that never voted for any
proposition that gratified me so much."
Stepping into the chair from which he
had risen, he continued as if inspired
from OH high. ut is the prOudest mo-
ment of my life to have the privilege of
saying to this audience that favor this
plank with all my heart. l fought in
the confederate army. carried the
confederate flag. l was an honest SOL
dier, and my brother soldiers told me I
was brave, but ladies and gentlemen. l
am an American citizen to-day under
the stars and stripes, which love and
am trying to defend from the clutches
of the traitor ShylOck. and look upon
the boys who wore the blue as my BROTH
crs who deserve to be paid this money,
and will fight for Justice"
AT the close of these remarks a man
arose from the front seat in the conven-
ton, and reached the Major before he
had become seated, extending his left
hand while throwing his handles right
arm about his neck. The two wounded
soldiers of the north and south met III
brotherly embrace,
The moment was intense. Such was
the patriotism of which our convention
was composed. Who shall fear for the
result of the new movement for eman-
cipatiOn? srl aaa
This scene reminded me of the two
bullets melted tito one, now seen at
Libby prison IN Chicago. 1t was Il relic
of the war where northern and south
ern bullet met in air and blended into
one before reaching the earth. This is
really symbolic of the feeling between
the northern and southern elements OPP
posed to those traitors who would de-
stroy the significance of our flag and
make of 1t a meaningless symbol.

GubernatOrial Candidates.


and Re-submission Republican can
didate for governor, is just now get
ting a good deal of notoriety on
account of the part he took i'll rob-
bling the state of Kansas of several
thousand dollars while filing the
gubernatorial chair Gas the first gov
ernor of Kansas), and tor which he
escaped impeachment only "by the
skin of his teeth" The reason he
was not impeached was that it was
not proven that he received share OF
the stealings. The secretary of state
was impeached. Robinson's official
record alone is enough to down him.
Moreover, he is friend of the liquor
power, and has done all in his power
to overthrow our prohibitory law.
AS to Gov. Humphrey, we are COM
PEELED, by the facts, to admit that, in
some respects, he has filled the posi-
ton very acceptably. The main cry
of the Republican press, however, has
peen, and still is, that he is Mnalter-
ably opposed to re-submission, and
has done his duty in enforcing the
prohibitory law. The facts, however,
do not bear them out in these asscr-
tons. Gov. Humphrey has kept his
pardon mill in good running order at
all times, and has turned out a larger
grist of pardons Of liquor-sellers than
did either of his predecessors in the
same length of time. He created SELL
timent for himself among the temper
ance people by ignoring the demands
of the re-submissionists for an extra
session of the legislature, by which
they hoped to bring about the result
mission of the prohibitory question.
OF course, this action on the part OF
Gov. Humphrey caused a bitter feel
ing toward him on the part of the
whisky Republicans, and they threat
ened dire vengeance; called conven-
tirns, and prepared to nominate tick
cts in opposition to Humphrey and
his crowd. This scared the Humph-
rey faction. and they, while they pre-
tended to remain ''loil" to prohibition,
begun to cast about for some means
re-capture and mollify the whisky
element of the party. AS result,
Senator Bentley, the great re.submis-
sion high priest of Wichita, slid back
into the old ranks, followed by ma
iority of the whisky Republican lead
ers. Humphrey and his followers
have become solid with the whisky
gang.
We submit the following, from two
leading Republican papers of the
state:
The I.eavenworth Times charges
that Gov. Humphrey is not good
prohibitionist. II the Times is not
careful it will win over large slice
of the re-submissiOn votes for the
governor.-Emporia Republican.
He is certainly entitled to it. He
has acted in way to prove to the
most skeptical that he is not true
friend of prohibition. In the rural
districts he is. perhaps, prohibition
ist: but in the large cities, and in the
privacy of his Office, ne is far from 1t.

eminent can materially aid the
present financial straits. Govern
ment influence is neither populcr
nor salutary in these complications.
The banks have locked up their re-
sources in carrying millions of trust
certificates and fancy stocks for
spectators. Once loaded up they
find it hard 30 dump this burden
without a panic, and every day
clearing house certificates are in
creasing in New York. These GER
tifcates bear 6 per cent. interest
and new liabilities are growing
every hour. 1t looks like foul
chimney which must be burnt out.
The New York Herald says that al
though the banks all declare that
they are ready to accept the best
class OF commercial paper, it is very
evident that their conservatism In
this respect draws the line very
sharply between their old customers
and the new ones. The banks de
cline absolutely to take any risks
which will involve them in any
possible way. Exporters Of cotton
have found the utmost difficulty in
negotiating their bills for exchange
Upon the cotton exchange things or
Monday were uneventtul, but in the
great cotton markets of the south
with the big Meyer failure as q
precedent, there is foreboding Of
trouble.
Augusta, in common with all bust.
ness centers, feels this strain. Cot.
ton is accumulating. The south
needs money to move the crop. Nc
temporary expedient from the gov.
eminent will ease the situation. Nc
gold griblets shipped from foreign
nations will solve the problem. The
trouble has arisen, not so much
from an original scarcity of money
but from the demands of Wall street
for speculative purposes and from
the policy of the bonds in carrying
all kinds of 'south sea bubbles. y
There is not, to be sure, enough
currency in the land. The $23 per
capita claimed by the secretary Of
the treasury, is not enough for our
heavy business needs. But oven il
there were S1C0 head there would
still be stringency and congestion if
such financial policy as the present
is continued. The credit system
has been overstrained. Values have
been inflated beyond reason. The
great development of the country
has been hypothecated beyond the
resources of the present and we are
cramped.
The country does noe want any
wildcat schemes. No use to talk
of unlimited silver and currency.
We do not want government loans

tried in the Argentine Republic

Can any one tell me VINO is a
true Christian? Is it the man or
woman that goes to church once a
month Con Sunday, not Saturday.,
the ore who pays the preacher one
year and says tlt.at is more than he
is able to pay, or one who is always
talking against his fellow nan. or
one who is usually neglecting their
own affairs to NEEDLE with the af-
fairs Of others? No, | can't see
any true Christianity in the above
described person or persons. The
steps OF good man are ordered by
the Lord" Now we can plainly
see that the Lord wouldn't order
any steps like the above. David
says, Depart from evil and do
good, and dwell for evermore." The
way to depart from evil and do good
is to walk as Christ-like as possible,
and to walk as a Christian should,
we must take steps entirely differ
ent from the above. BLESSED is the
man that walketh not in the coun-
sci OF tie ungodly, nor standeth in
the way of Sinners" &c. True re-
ligion hath in it ehothing weak; it
enlarges our hearts and enables us
to bear the burdens of life more
easily, and true Christian does n9c
