AN UPRIGHT SOLDIER.

In almost every large gathering Of
late years Sherman'S indefatigable
social zeal caused him to be looked for,
and always as welcome presence and
an honored guest. Not since Polonius
counseled Laertes has any son received
from any father advice sounder, ssger,
or more sympathetic than that contain
ed in the few short, quaint, character
istic sentences he was want to address
Off-hand to those he loved to call his
boys" at annual reunions like those
of the Army Of the Potomac, the Army
of the Tennessee, and the Loyal Legion.
If the inevitable strains of Marching
Through Georgia" disturbed his sere,
nifty and eclipsed the gayety of his
evenings out, he bore the ordeal with
fortitude; it pleased the boys" and
nothing they cared for ever failed to
excite his iveliest interest. A good
father, good husband, good son, q
pure man, soldier without vices, NO
less than strategist well nigh beyond
comparison, his death removes a his.
toric landmark. The grief that is felt
will be less bitter for the remembrance
that no private default ever dimmed
the luster of his public character.

The Miami County Alliance On Speaker
Elders Bill.

The following preamble and resulu-
lions were adopted by the Miami county
assembly at their meeting held in Paola
on Saturday, February IA, 1891:
Whereas, We, the members of the
Miami county F. NJ. B. A, that voted
for the peoples party candidates for the
legislature last fall at the election held
in this county, did so with the under
standing that they would, to the best
of their ability, pass laws for the benefit
of the debtor class especially. And
Whereas, A bill has already passed
said legislature that is circulated to in
jure the debtor class. Therefore be it
Resolved, that we, the members of
the Miami county Assembly F. NIB. A.
do protest against the passage of said
bill, md request our representatives to
recall said bill from the senate; have it
reconsidered and killed if possible, said
bill being the Elder bill for the taxa
ton of securities. And be it further
Resolved, That we are in favor of a
law making money and notes nom taxa
BILE, believing and knowing that such a
bill would increase the circulation OF
money in Kansas and bring down the
rate of interest, which would be OF great
benefit to the debtor class.

A Hog Thief Hanged.

Wichita, February 21.-James Dui
ham, hog thief, was melted out swirl
and strange punishment in Kechi tow
ship some time last night. A farme
named Martin killed some hogs yestei
day, dressed them and left them out I'd
cool. This morning he discovered that
one Of them was missing, and cast about
for clew to the direction in which it
had gone. About a quarter of a mile
from his house he saw what appeared to
be a man leaning against fence, and
investigation showed the figure to be
the dead body of Durham with the neck
broken. Around the neck hung the
stolen hog by the gamble sticks. 1t is
supposed that the thief attempted TO
cross the board fence with the hog on
his shoulder and slipped.

tributes. The services were OF
the simplest character and were
conducted by Rev. Thomas Sherman,
all assembled about the grave standing
with uncovered heads. AS the casket
was being lowered the regimental band
played Pleyel's hymn. Father Sherman
read the Catholic service, one of the Sc
lections being 81 am the resurrection
and the life." A fervent prayer was Of
Tered and the services were at
an end.
At 3 o'clock the closing of
the grave was completed and
the buglers of the Seventh cavalry
sounded Lights out" volleys were
fired over the grave by the Thirteenth

three salutes by the artillery which
was stationed some distance to the east.

We're placed upon the grave by loving
hands. The funeral party and the
troops returned to the station and the
many thousands of citizens who were

was laid to rest, by the side of his wife
and his two sons, one of whom was his

RUSSIAN BARBARITY.

The world has furnished so many evil
fences of the inhumanity and barbarity
Of the Russian government in recent
Fears that 1t is not particularly surprised
at any new tale of horror that comes
rom that long suffering, wretched land.
Its terrible treatment of its political
prisoners has been most graphically
told by Mr.. KEENAN, and such exiles as
managed to survive the awful tortures
ofSiberia. and finally escaped to other
lands.
The general impression has been,
however, that only political prisoners
were subject to inhuman punishment,
but the experience of the American
sailors who were sent to the Siberian
mines for the petty Offense of illegally
fishing in Russian waters proves how
utterly barren of the least suggestion
of common humanity the Russian au-
thorities are in the administrator OF
justice. The story told by those
American sailors is so borrowing and
awful in all its repulsive details that it
almost taxes the credulity of the world,
accustomed as it is to the many well
verified stories of a similar character
from that country e That it is true,
however, there is every reason to be-
lieve.
Following this comes another story,
which fully and thoroughly confirms
the belief that the Russian authorities
are not human beings, but fiends in
carnate, whose chiefpurpose and delight
is to torture in every way possible, such
Door wretches as chance TO incur, in any
way, their official displeasure.
Reference is had to the story of the
added punishments which have been in
tiicted upon the poor, long suffering
Jews of that country, not because of any
FAULT of their own, but simply because
people Of another nation, aroused at the
inhuman cruelties which have been
'hOwered upon them, appealed to the
Ear to mitigate their sufferings. In
stead of listening to an appeal which
struck a responsive chord in the heart
If the whole civilized World, orders have
been issued throughout all the Russian
provinces to redouble the severity of
the punishment against the unhappy
race, and, where the statutes were inap-
plicable, the governors were instructed
10 issue circulars and ukases to re-
place them.
Itwould be difficult to conceive of a
more malignant or inhuman spirit than
that which prompted such action as
this.
Little is it to be wondered at that a
monarch who will countenance such acts
should live in constant fear of assassina-
ton, throughout the civilized world so
great has become the repugnance to-
ward the system of government which
he represents that its downfall would
he hailed with the most intense salts
faction.
How much longer it will continue to
shock the civilized world with its
barbarities it is difficult TO say, but q
time will certainly come when it will
have to reform its ways or the long
stified feelings of outraged humanity
will sweep it from the face of the earth

PETER nN MONEY

The Kansas Farmer believes that the
members of the legislature are men OF
nerve as well as of brains. They know
that the interests of this bOuntiful state
OF ours, with all its glorious history, il
in their keeping. That the farmers of
Kansas, and the mechanics and the la
bOrers and the working masses general
ly, with the merchants and legitimate
traders, will in future govern here.
The day of the politician is past.
Money will be dethrOned. If the fight
is to be forced, we, the people, are ready
for it. IL we cannot do better we can
let our homes go and we can afterward,
when money becomes plenty and cheap,
which it will in a few years, buy our
homes back again and have plenty of
time in which to pay for them. We
have made up our minds that the rule
of the money power in Kansas is to end.
That the politician is to be relegated to
the rear, and that the people them
selves to take care of their own inter
estS. The Kansas Farmer, speaking
for the farmers of the state, declares
openly to the world that the people are
honest people, they are farmers and are
workers, they have no sort of DISPOSE
ton to get rid of any Just Obligatin,
they want to pay every debt that they
owe, and they want to pay it according
to the letter and the spirit of the con-
tract. They do not ask for any abate-
ment. What they do want is money
with which to pay their debts, and they
want it at rate which they can afford
to pay. Let it be known that at Il
o'clock on any day that money could be
obtained at convenient place with
which to pay the debts now due, the
sun of the next day would not have
passed beyond the horizon before every
debt would be paid. But We ask for
money and we are refused-refused by
our national legislature, composed Of
men charged with taking care of the
public interests. We are refused by
the very men who have negotiated the
loans which are pressing us now. We
are denounced as regulators
when all the world knows that
it is absolutely impossible for
us to either pay or renew.
When the legislature proposed that the
debtor should have a little time in
which to recover from misfOrtunes, he
is simply applying the law of self-pres-
ervatiou. He is asking for what all the
world knows he needs. He wants to
save his home while he pays his debts.
1t does not seem to him Just that the
creditor should have all and he moth
ing. Briefly, what the people of Kan
sas want is something with which to
pay their debts. If this is reputation,
let the world understand it. il the
money-changer proposes to begin war
of devastation upon the debtors, he will
soon discover that the power of the peO-
pie is irresistible. These gentlemen
ought to take warning from the signs
of the times. The public mind is fever
ish. Conservative, deliberate judg-
ment, prudent action, wise counsels ara
necessary, and they will all be en-
ployed in the line of progress as we go
along. Let it be understood, however,
that these virtues will be exercised in
the interest of the toilers and builders.
