From Senator Armstrong.


We are in receipt of the following
letter from Senator Armstrong con-
corning the decision of the supreme
court:
Topeka, February 28th, 1888.
The supreme court has cOndescended
to deliver a partisan opinion in the in
terests of corporations and mob law and
the republican party in its eagerness to
perpetuate corporate rule, has shown
to the people just where it is and just
who are the anarchists and violaters
of law and order" and the populists
have deemed it best for the good of all
to temporarily yield to this decision
until such time as the great law abiding
liberty loving people of Kansas can give
their verdict at the ballot box. It is
useless for me to make any comments,
when we have such good authority as
the following, which l inclose.
Yours very truly,
JOHN ARMSTRONG.

THE duty of the Kansas legislature

THE duty of the Kansas legislature
democrats. populists and republicans
alike-is to now get together, forego all
differences for the time being, and be-
tween now and next Wednesday-the
time the session should by law be endl
ed-pass bills appropriating monies for
the Worlds Fair exhibit and to carry
on the state institutions, and then adj
journ and go before the people in 1894
for vindication of their acts during
the most of the time they have thrown
away. People are. unanimous in de-
handing this-nothing more nor less.
This they can do, and it is all they can
do. Should they attempt to 40 any
more they would find it just as hard to
come to an understanding as it was in
the first place. Each branch would fight
the other-for political effect-and rel
Their the republican house nor the pop
ulist senate would be able to get legis-
latiOn of general nature, outside of
appropriations, through the opposing
house. This they all know. and should
they fritter away the rest of their allOt-
ted time, or should the governor call
them into extra cessiOn. the state would
be put to unnecessary expense only to
keep the whole lot there to wrangle and
make political faces at each other.

OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.
BY G. B. COOPER.


In the list of Territories you will find no brighter
Than own fair Oklahoma, leading most of
them by far,
In the fulness of her prestige in the arts of peace
and war,
And her future mirrored brightly on the ages yet
afar.
With her streams of winding beauty, flowing
through enchanting vaes,
Where her woodlands skirt the water, shedding
beauty through the dales;
With her rolling hills and canons. forming land
scapes truly grand,
And her limitless broad prairies and boundless
sea of land.
Laden with the wealth of ages. waiting for sun
shine and air,
SO fair;
Waiting that the seed be planted, when harvest
shall spring forth
That will feed the coming thousands, from the
east and from the north;
Coming from the land of promise, that they may
secure home;
Coming from the weary winters. where their
rigors are unknown;
Where the Weddings of the summer not
swallowed up in feed
For the teams which did the tending, leaving not
peck for seed.
Where the cattle feed pasture from the third
month to the twelfth,
Leaving but three months of resting; to this
source of endless wealth,
Where the plowman turns his burrows from the
first day of the year
Through all seasons till December ushers in its
Christmas cheer.
Here a man can be free man and an owner of
the soil;
Sit beneath his s'vine and fig tree" and reap due
return for toll,
And the hoardings in the stocking ne'er be drawn
upon to spend
All the savings, in endeavor that end shall
meet an end.
They invite the honest toiIer to that garden spot
of earth,
And extend the hand of welcome to those men of
sterling worth.
For they need them sin their business - in the
school, and in the church.
And they need few, for Office, who can keep
themselves from smirch.
gathering stones;
Seek that 'land of milk and honey leave the
hill-sides to the drones.
There is room for Drawn and Brains there, and
for energy galore,
And though thousands now going there is
room for thousands more.

Monday, March 9Th, is the date
fixed by law for the various township
assessors of the several counties to
meet at the office of the county clerk
and agree upon uniform basis OF
assessment. We have thus far seen
no notice of such meeting, but as it
must be held, we hope that every
township assessor will be present. And
we further hope that the assessors will
come to all agreement to assess al!
property at its REAL VALUE, instead of
one-fourth or one-third its value.
There is no excuse whatevever- for
cutting the assessment or valuation
down low and making high rate CT
per cent. of taxation Make the valu.
atoms at their real value, and the per
cent, of taxation will be low, no more
taxes need be collected, and we will
not then be subject to criticism from
the outside world for our heavy per
cent. of taxation. Strangers do not
understand about the low valuation
they can see no object in a quarter
section of land which the owner asks
$500 for being valued by the town
ship assessor at but $500; and when
they see the enormous per cent. of
taxes levied on the dollar of valuation
they get scared, for it is not what they
are accustomed to; while as a matter
of fact the whole amount of taxes we
may pay is not as great as eastern
men are in the habit of paying on the
same real valuation.

INGALLS, ON HORTON.

INGALLS, ON HORTON.
On Tuesday, March 2, 1880, Senator
John J. Ingalls, made speech in Atch-
ison at reception held in his honor.
After abiding to certain parties who
had been party to the investigation of
the title to lis seat in the senate he
said: ''They selected as the facile in
strument the Chief Justice of the state,
man who began his career by writing
editorials in favor of secession and
drinking toasts to the health of Jeffer-
son Davis. Persuaded to become a
republican by the promise of prefer
ment he has been continually in office
with an accidental hiatus of one year,
from 1850 till 1880. During this long
period he has babitually traficked in
justice, defrauded his clients, basely
plundered his partner, and insulted So
ciety by his degraded and fragrant i'm
morality. He has never made a promise
he did not break nor had friend whom
he was not willing to betray. In this
political judge these frenzied conspir-
atOrs found willing accomplish. Feebly
protesting that he was not candidate,
though every one knew that for five
years he had trodden every devious
path that led toward the capitol, that
he took his seat on the bench, merely as
a steppingstone to the senate, he has
descended into the mire of personal
politics, accepted the nomination in a
calumnious speech and then attempted
to secure success by the open purchase
of votes. Much has been said about the
purity of the ermine. The traditional
fur was never dragged through fouler
puddle. The very seat of the bench
that was to be vacated was promise to
two anxious aspirants and the entire
political wardrobe of the state was
divided, in anticipation of my defeat,
like the apparel of Joseph among his
brethren. No fouler exhibition
of cowardice and mendacity ever dis
graced the most degraded epoch of the
English judiciary which witnessed the
fall of Bacon, and the lnfamies of
Jefferies and Scuggs. Instead of setting
in judgment on the lives, liberties and
the estate of the people, this culprit
should be summoned to answer for his
crimes and be consigned to felon's
cell. "-Atchison Daily Champion,
(Rep.) March 8, 1889, page 4, columns

There are only II joints in town at
present. AS this is strictly moral and
temperate town and nobody drinks,
this condition of things kind O gives
the country people away.-Gutter-
snipe.
Presuming that the guttersnipe is
correct for this once. and that there are
"17 joints in town at present" how
does the guttersnipe reconcile its state
ments oft repeated, that prohibition in
Kansas prohibits, with the above quo
tation? How does it happen that this
great God-and- morality republican
city, with a republican majority of
about 200 voters. permits, tolerates,
sanctions, countenances II joints?
And what for? Certainly there is not
a cent of revenue coming into the city
treasury from the joints. Is the great,
moral, g. o. p. letting the II joints
run in Great Bend for the sole henefit
of the rural cousins who come in once
a week to do trading? Is it not fact
that there is more drunkenness on the
streets any day in the week than there
is on Saturdays when the country peo-
pie are in? The guttersnipe has fine
opportunity to make a bit if it will
answer these questions. But it will
not.

THE Scientific American gives this
recipe which the whole world ought to
know: AT the first indication of dlph-
iberia in the throat of a child, make
the room close, then take tin cup and
pour into it quantity of tar and tur-
pentine, equal parts. Then hold the
cup over fire, so as to fill the room
with fumes. The little patient, on in
haling the fumes, will cough up and spit
out all the membranous matter, and
the diphtheria will pass out. The fumes
of the tar and turpentine loosens the
matter 10 the throat and thus affords
the relief that has baff1ed the skill of
physicians.

SOME OF the gaseous wlndpuddlng
the republicans were feeding themselves
on the past week has already exploded
and knocked all the fun out of them.
We refer to all the talk they have been
making about the republicans and
democrats in the legislature going to
JOIN forces and elect 'sstalwart" dem
ocrat to contest Senator John Martins
seat. Only few days ago the benighted
followers of McKinleyism and all other
defunct isms, were punching each other
under the ribs ard tickling themselves
with the thought |! ~ they could entice
the few democrats in iii. Kansas legis-
lature to join them in the greatest pro-
posed farce of the age. But they don't
do it now. They found that their own
leaders were not willing to add that
monumental hoax to the already too
large accumulation of political rubbish
that lies at the door of the G. o. p.
They found also that their paid prose-
Iites, Harris, Krouch. Mitchell, & Co.,
had nothing to deliver to the G. o. p
and the G. o. p. don't care to waste any
more time going after nothing.
VIM. Gagelman of Clarence town
ship, who has been visiting near
Bloomington, Illinois, for the past
three weeks, returned home Tuesday
morning. He enjoyed very pleasant
visit, and hopes to have some Of his
friends come to see him this summer.
He says the row at Topeka was greatly
enlarged upon by the eastern papers,
and through that jealous misrepreseD-
tation many people have an idea that
the whole state of Kansas is made up
of outlaws and law-breakers. He says
also that the Germans generally are
wary of Kansas on account Of the
prohibitory liquor nonsense, and don't
want to settle among people who
have to have a law to regulate their
diet. Mr.. Gagelman hopes in time
our state will outlive the bad name she
has, and people will know her as she
