Wild Talk in Kansas.

Kansas is full of secession talk and
wild and infammatory utterances
that recall the days Immediately pre-
ceding the war of the Rebellion.
Political spouters like Governor
Waite, of Colorado, are exciting the
people and producing a state of af-
fairs which may end in something
serious. A petition has been signed
by all the state officers asking Gov.
Stone, of Missouri, to call conven-
ton of the Governors and such depu-
ties as they may select of all the
states west of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio, and on a parallel
line Herewith, to consider such
trade arrangements as may render
this section free of dependence upon
the eastern section of the United
States in business affairs"
Such a position as the above is
but step from demand for politi-
cal independence, and it is stated
that while not formulated in exact
language, the talk about the Kansas
State House is of actual political
SEPARATION between the West and
the East. What these incendiary
speeches may lead to, no one can
foretell. In ordinary times they
would only excite the laughter and
derision of every one, but when ad-
dressed to a community which is
suffering under the distress which is
prevailing everywhere, and to an
army of men who are without the
means of a livelihood, or the pros
pect of one, the language may excite
to a most perilous extent. 1t is
easy to make those who arein actual
want throughout the west and south
believe that the people of the east
are responsible for their misfortunes,
and when they are once wrought up
to lead them to the commission of
the widest acts.
The sensible and sober-minded citi-
zens of the west and south can have
no sympathy with such utterances
and actions, and upon them must
rest the task of meeting the agita-
ton of these fanatics, and keeping
the mass of the people from being ex-
cited and infamed by their revolu-
tionary utterances.

A kansas Idea,

A patriot named George W. Cum
ningham, of Arkansas City, Kansas,
has matured a panacea for all ma
tional ills. He had printed circular
of his views and sent copies through
the mails to newspapers and pubic
men accompanied with a blank pc
tition to Congress, which he wished
signed and forwarded to Washing
ton. The plan is to set to work all
the unemployed in the country on
the public roads and public works:
The government shall issue its legal
tender notes to pay them, and when
the total Indebtedness amounts to
$50 per capita, then a direct tax
share be levied on all persons who
may be worth over $500.
This is certainly a very pretty
scheme on the part of Cunningham,
and shows that he has the welfare OF
his fellow citizens at heart, but
statesmen will be inclined to doubt
it's practicability. Mr.. Cunningham
is also opposed to gold and silver be-
ing coined as money, preterring that
it be refined, weighed and stamped
for private use and sale. This may
commend itself to senators and rep
resentatives as way out OF the
present dilemma, for the silver sena-
tors when they see defeat in store for
them may join with Cunningham
and stop the coinage of gold as well
as silver. That his ideas may not
be wholly opposed he urges the re-
peal of the Sherman law and favors
the esta blishment of Postal Savings
banks.
But to return to the public road
scheme. 1t would not be bad idea
for rich government like ours to
inaugurate improvement of the high
ways. Mr.. Cunningham's plan would
create greater national debt than
that of the War of the Rebellion, to
he paid at one time as soor as the
limit of $50 per capita was reached.
Ofcourse how long the collection of
the tax would be delayed depends
entirely on the extent of the depres-
sion now existing in these Cleveland
times, but day of reckoning would
come. If Cunningham would bring
about his millennium he must pro-
vide for payment from year to year
from the receipts of the Treasury.

The Eyarts Golden Wedding.

Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts and wife
celebrate their golden wedding at
Windsor Wednesday of this week.
The occasion will be a very happy
one, not only to the immediate fam
lily, but to the large number of per-
sonal and political friends who are
expected to be present. Mr.. Evarts
and Miss Wardner became acquaint-
ed when he was at college and she a
miss of sixteen, but it was not till he
had reached the age of twenty-five
that he had attained the profession
al success that warranted marriage.
Their "old-fashioned' family in
point of numbers they have succeed
ed in educating and rearing to lives
of honor and usefulness.
Mr.. Evarts' career has been one of
rare distinction in the ranks of Amer
lean jurists and statesmen. In his
younger years he won a front place
in his profession and became promi-
nent as an orator at public meetings.
From 1S49 to 1858 he was assistant
district attorney in New York city
in 1860 he was chairman of the New
York delegation to the Republican
national convention at Chicago, and
proposed the name of William III.
Seward for the presidency. In 1861
he and Mr.. Greeley were rival candi-
dates for the United States Senator
ship, but Mr.. Evarts withdrew in ia
vor of Ira Harrison, who was elect
ed. In 1868 he was President John
sons chief counsel in the impeach-
ment trial before the Senate, and
during the last eight months of
Johnson's administration he held
the position of Attorney-General in
the Cabinet. He was appointed Sec
rotary of State by President Hayes
in 1877 and filed the position with
great ability during the full term of
four years. In 1875 he was senior
counsel for the defense in the great
Beecher trial in Brooklyn. In 1885
he was chosen to the United States
Senate for a full term of six years.
Since his retirement from the Senate
he has been active in the practice of
his profession. In all positions
which he has filled Mr.. Evarts'
| career has been marked by an excep-
tionally high order of ability, great
learning, patriotic devotion to his
country's welfare, and undertaking
integrity. That he and his esteemed
wife have been spared to round out
their career with a golden wedding is
a fact that calls for universal con-
graduation.

A. Demeritt received telegram last week
Monday announcing the death of his daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. r. n Demeritt. which occur
red at her home in Plattsburgh n. Y, Aug.
10. He, with his son Albin of Johnson, at
tended funeral services, which were held at
her old home, Waterbury Centre, August %,
her remains baving been brought there for
interment. Her death was very sudden and
unexpected; her health, ever delicate, seemed
better the past season than for months pre-
vious So quietly did her summons come
that it was hours before the physician, who
was quickly summoned pronounced all efforts
TO bring her to consciousness unavailing. 1t
was evident that it must have been a shock
of paralysis. The deceased was the daugh.
ter of o. W. and Romelia Stearns of Water
bury, where her lite. with the exception of the
past three years has been spent. In Novem-
Der, 1875, she married r. N. Demeritt then
of Waterbury, but now of Plattsburgh,
where he is engaged in business in the firm of
Bromley K Demeritt, Wholesale Bakers and
Confectioners, and whittier he purchased and
moved so as to be near his business. Her
death was a sad blow to her husband and
three manly sons. Homer, Henry and RAY
to whom she has ever been a devoted wife
and tender mother. She leaves besides these,
n widowed mother, with whom resides an
aged aunt, in Waterbury; sister, Mrs.
Carrie Lyon, of the same place, who for few
year was associated with her husband on the
staff of officers at the Vermont Reform School
at Vergennes; and large circle of relatives
and friends to mourn her loss, as all were
deeply attached to her; at her death she was
about 40 years old. As a young lady, she
was wnsome and in later life she became a
very cstimable, accomplished and worthy
lady, fitted to adorn any circle in which she
moved and, though shefelt herself inefficient
others knew her worth. Early in life she
became Christian, uniting with the church
of her choice, of which she remained con-
sistent member until her decease. The writer
has known her intimately since childhood,
and rarely do we find one who has been held
in such high esteem, for she was widely
known among her circle of friends We hope
to greet her in fairer cline, on a fairer
shore, with the other loved ones SO recently
gone, to be parted nevermoTe.

To THE JUNK SHOP The beautiful
white buildings of the Worlds Fair
will have to be sold as junk when
the show is over. They are soon to
be advertised and knocked down to
the highest bidder. About the only
things in future use in them are the
iron and steel arches and timbers
It is thought that not more than
81 100000 can be realized from the
auction. The most expensive build
ing will probably bring the least
money. The manufactures and the
liberal arts building, which cost ST.
600, 900, will probably go to the
man who will tear it down and carry
away the debris. The magnitude of
the undertaking will be realized
when it is stated that each arch con-
tains 20 carloads of steel, all the
pieces being riveted together.
