SEWN, whose home has been in sight
of Lafourche Crossing all her life,
passed away to the unknown home on
Wednesday evening July l., 1891.

To-day is the ever memorable fourth
of July, the n hundred and fifteenth
anniversary of the signing of the De-
c~laration of independence, that an
nounced the final and eternal separa-
tioa of the American Colonies from
The Government of Great Britain.
This day is n that will be held in
honor, and signalised by demonstra-
tions of rejoicing by the people of this
Union.
Owing to the excessive heat at this
time of the year, this day has never
been celebrated in the south, as in
other sections of the country, but it is
kindly remembered by every one as a
day that should be honored and re-
yered.

OH, THE GALL.

Southern legislatures are sending con-
gratulatory kilograms to the Kansas
legislature on its move to "abolish Sec
tionalism" in downing Ingalls,. Oh, the
gall of Democracy. Its all right for
Kansas to go back on her political record
and traditions in "abolishing sectional
ISM" but when it comes to the Alliance
down south "abolishing sectionalsm
they do it by re-electing such "briga-
diers" as Gordon, of Georgia. The way
to abolish sectionalism and establish the
reign of brotherly love is for Kansas to
trample her own convictions under foot
and permit the southern Democrat to
continue kukluxing niggers, stuffing bal
lot boxes and electing brigadiers to office.
If Kansas wants to fraternize with these
down south and over-in- Missouri fellows,
she must become dOugh-face and sacrl-
flee her Ingallses and elect memberships
to the United States senate, who, stand
ing before the towering majesties of the
Nances. the GordOns and the Hamptons,
will down as a dog before his master
Oh, yes, Missouri ought TO be sending
congraulatory kilograms through her
legislature to Kansas, but she can't fool
the men who remember Oxford and
Hickory Point and Lecompton and dis
mantled Lawrence-fool the men who
made and saved Kansas.

way, the contemplated power of the
Alliance must first be brought to bear to
remove him. His removal, his loss To
the state, his loss to the nation. TO his
party and to the masses of the people,
will be such as TO cause the conslderate
of all parties TO ask why this sacrifice
1t will raise the inquiry,
What valuable and practical ques-
ton of the new party did he
not advocate? Was his fall demanded
because he advocated more money for
the people: Or was he sacrificed be-
cause he was the fast friend Of the scar
worn soldier in his declining years: Or
was the expiation demanded because he
hurled his frey thunderbolts into the
camp of bloated monopolists and rail
road combinations: Or was his death
demanded because he plead with New
England to stay her hands and let the
farmers of the west have an equal chance
in the race of life?
Representing che advanced wing of

necessities of the hour, he fell a sacrifice

that fall the thoughtful of all parties

SOME SQUELCHERs

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Amos J. Cummings, in his admirable
letters to the New York Sun, brings out
some rare specimens of wit and satire.
One is from Gen. Spinola, the Tam
many war horse. Congressman Peters,
of Kansas had been telling the Demo
Gratis they had better look out for the
Farmers Alliance, as their turn to suffer
would come next, and he concluded
by exclaimirg:
Truth crushed TO esrth viii rise again;
The eternal years Of God are hers.
Peters sat down amid an applause of
the Republicans, and Gen. Spinola rose
to reply.
'My amiable and pleasant friend,
said he, has sought TO arraign the
Democratic party over the tomb of what
he calls truth crushed to earth. L wish
he had told the house what becomes OF
falseh cd when crushed to earth, as hap
pened last November"
This is excellent, but it cannot be COM
pared to the inimitable thrust with
which Judge Lanham of Texas slew
Greenhalge of Massachusetts,. Green
halge, it will be remembered, was defeat
ed in the last election. He said the Demo
Gratis should repeal the last three amend
ments TO the constitution and elect con-
federate soldier speaker. While on the
floor he remarked thai he had the honor
for month or two to come-a sort OF
obituary honor-tO represent Massachus-
etts in part.
To this Judge Lanham replied:
The gentlemen from Massachusetts
spoke about delivering his obituary.

kALAKAUA's MISSOURI MINISTER

Eugene Field in the Chicago News.
When King Kalakaua visited the
United States ten or fifteen years ago
every cordial attention was paid TO him,
the west being particularly ELUSIVE in
its greeting and liberal in its hospitality.
When the king reached Missouri he was
invited to visit the state capital, and the
legislature, happening to be IN session at
that time. made extraordinary prepare
tons TO welcome his dusky majesty with
an imposing whOOp and hurrah. James
y. Burnes. subsequently a representative
in congress. was at the time a banker at

kaua was nightly pleased with Judge
Burnes: in fact. BuTnes was a fascinating
man and few there were who proved IL
sensible TO his charms. kalakaua was
80 delighted with the banker-pohtcian
that he insisted upon his remaining with
the roval PARTY during the journey
through the Missouri valley. and
CITY Purres was introduced BY
Representative Bit.inger 70 the

THE DANGER AHEAD.

From the New York Financier,
There is nothing to be gained by dis
guising the fact that the farmers move
ment in the direction of a general en-
dorsement of Senator Stanfords land
currency plan is gaining IN strength
every day. For some reason best known
to themselves, even conservative news
papers In California are supporting
Senator StandfOrd's name for the presi-
dencv. Mr.. Stanford's great gift to the
public. his disinterestedness in the
cause he has undertaken. and his sue
cess as a business man, all tend To give
his name widespread influence. Word
now comes from the Kansas legislature
that it embraces ninetvtwO ALLIANCE,
eight Democrats and one Republican
who are supporting Alliance candidates
and practically controlling the house;
this fact adds to the strength of the
whole movement and as matters are
progressing the 1892 campaign may
force financial measures through sheer
majority that our present congress does
not calculate upon.
Our point is, there remains no time TO
waste on this subject: should Mr.. Stan
ford attach a similar benefit TO laboTers
that he offers the farmers. he could
easily carry the entire country. The
ralving cry now seems to be: If IL Is
right for the government to loan money
to banks, it is right for the government
to loan direct TO the people. No
amount of argument, SO far, has dis
abused their minds OF this doctrine.

LITTLE GEORGE A

The three line dispatch in yesterday

sadness and pleasant memories by old
time Kansans. Little George ~"
held a big place i'm the affection Of the
people of Kansas for many years He
was little only in body. In brain and Of
heart he was magnificent. His name
and deeds, his triumphs and sacrifices
are cl sely interviewer with much or
nearly all of the early political and
material history of the territory and
state Of Kansas. He was the first
governor elected for the state but the
Territorial supreme court decided his
election illegal and refused to permit the
vote TO be canvassed. He wanted but a
half dozen votes of a nomination for gov
ernor again when Samuel J. Crawford
was chosen by coup de tat. He was
the founder of Fl Scott and spent a
fortune in its upbuilding. He laid out
Usage Mission and was one of the
founders of the State Historical society.

of being nominated for governor. lie

Kill OF the Cowboys.

From the Kansas ChIeI.
Now, II the government would send
out an army to exterminate the cowboys
from the plains, 1t would do a 900 !
thing. No doubt those devils are re-
sponsibla for many of the Indian troubles.
Last week, while party of Indians were
on their way to Pine Ridge agency, 10
deliver up their arms, they were fired
upon from ambush by party of COW
bows. and an old chief killed and his wife
uadly wounded in which condition she
was compelled TO walk one hundred
miles. Ii came near re-opening HOSTILE
ties, for the old Indian was an uncle OF
one of the leading Sioux chiefs. who was
lending his influence To restore peace.
