WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. q, 1893
1t Is my painful duty to announce to the peo.
pie OF the United States the death OF James
Gillespie Blaine, which occurred In this city to-
day at Ii o'clock.
For full generation this eminent citizen has
occupied a conspicuous and influential position

the legislature OF his state Afterward. for
fourteen years, he was a member of the nation
al house OF representatives, and was three
times chosen its speaker. In 1876 he was
elected to the senate He resigned his
seat in that body, in 1881, to accept
the position OF secretary of state in the cabinet
OF President Garfield. After the tragic death
OF his chief, he resigned from the cabinet and,
devoting himself to literary work. gave to the
public in his Twenty Years In Congress" a
most valuable and enduring contribution
to our political literature. In March,
1889, he again became secretary of
state, and continued to exercise this
public interests bis marked ability and his ex-
alted patriotism have won for him the graft
tude and affection of his countrymen and the
admiration OF the world. In the varied pur-
suits OF legislation, diplomacy and literature
his genus has added new luster to American
citizenship.
as a suitable expression of the national ap-
probation OF his great public services and of
the general sorrow CAUSED by his death, / di-

to Lancaster, and he began at once to prepare
himself for college, studying with his cousin,

the latter place that he formed the acquaintance
of Miss Harriet Stanwood, native of Maine, to

Kansas is Saved.

Kansas joins the great republican
procession!
From every county from which re-
turns are received at 2 o'clock Wednes-
day morning comes the glorious news OF
republican gains and populist disaster.
Shawnee heads the list by majority
of four to one for the whole ticket.
Crawford and Cherokee and Usage, pop
ulist strongholds for three years, have
fallen into the embrace of the republic
an party. Summer is regained from ca
lamity. Saline shows heavy gains. Cow
ley is in line. Big Wyandotte and the
Peerless Princess, Sedgwick, join the
hallelujah chorus!
Kansas for three years has been de-
cried from one end of the country to the
other for elevating to Office cabbage
head statesmen, corn-cob financiers, and
the opponents OF reputation and social
disorder. The political success of this
class has been taken by our eastern
creditors as evidence of the business
failure of the state. Loaners of money
have called in their loans. Renewals
have been rendered difficult, if not i'm
possible. Immediate liquidation has
necessitated not only extraordinary
economies but has thrown upon the
market a vast quantity of real estate
and depressed the price of the property
of our people.
The success of the republican party in
the county elections throughout the
state Tuesday is an assurance to the
world that the period of fiat, repudia-
ton and humbug in Kansas has passed.
Populism, which succeeded last year
by scratch only because of the aid of
81, 900 democratic votes for the populist
ticket, is buried in Kansas too deep to
be resurrected. The calamity howlers
are turned down forever and repudia-
ton is repudiated blythe overwhelming
vote of the friends of honest government
and good order. Intelligence, common
sense, business integrity and love of the
state are uppermost and will govern
Kansas henceforward.
1t is a grand victory for the good name
of the best state in the Union.-Capital.

Several months since A. III. Blair
made an application to the Fish Com
missioner at Washington on behalf Of
R. S. Thomas, of Wilcox, who has a
beautiful fish pond and wished to stock
it. After much delay the fish came last
Tuesday night and were received by Mr..
Blair. They were beauties-some of
them of good size and several varieties-
in all several hundred pounds. Mr.. Blair
took them to his house and took the best
possible care of them changing the water
several times during the night, but they
began to die and nothing could be done
to save them. Mr.. Thomas came in
early Wednesday morning and used all
his skill also but they all died. We hope
that Mr.. Thomas can get new supply
we are afraid it will not be
right away-and that he will have bet
ter success next time.

"A careful analysis of the recent vote
in our county shows conclusively that
there are but handful of the peoples
party that can be depended upon; that
the party lash cannot be successfully ap-
piled anymore and that the majority of
the party will hereafter vote as it
chooses. Not for years has the repub-
llcan ticket as whole received such
large majorities as it did last Tuesday.
Take for instance Adair township which
has hitherto been almost unanimous for
the peoples party, and several OF the
republican candidates received more
votes than their opponents in the peo-
pies party. We are not claiming from
this that the majority of the voters have
entirely changed their political faith
although many have done so-but we do
say that the peoples party of Adair can
not be blindly led to vote as heretofore.
1t all means this-that the peoples par
ty will not vote as herd hereafter, but
that they will vote independently which,
in many instances, is equivalent to say
ing that they will vote the republican
ticket, and it will not be long until the
rank and file will all be marching under
the republican banner as of wore.

MO. PACIFIC TIME TABLE.
UNION PACIFIC TIME TABLE
la RANSOM,
EAST BOUND:

1t was rumored some time since
| that the railroads would refuse to nav
| their taxes in Kansas this year on ac-
count OF what they considered an illegal
and unjust assessment. Of course it.
would only result in temporary embar-
| rassment, but there are communities
even In our county where it would prac-
| tlcally mean an entire suspension of our
public schools. The following is from
the Kansas City Journal and its tone is
rather hopeful-in fact it intimates that
about all the danger to be apprehended
is from the Santa Fe which, of course,
does not especially interest us:
1T has been reported that several of
the counties in Western Kansas fear
that their revenue for public schools and
other purposes is likely to be curtailed
this year through the failure of the rail-
road companies to pay their proportion
OF the annual taxes. In some counties
nearly the whole tax is pain by the rail-
roads, and the people have to RELY large
ly upon this source to keep the schools
and county machinery in operation.
ga tax commissioner of one of the
western roads assured Journal repre-
sentative Tuesday that no apprehension
need be felt on this point so far as the
ability of the roads to paw is concerned
as the amount necessary for taxes each
year is provided for by the railroad COM
panies each month, certain sum being
apportioned from the receipts each
month for the purpose of meeting taxes
when they fall due. Of course none of
the roads could take such a large sum
from It's earnings at any one time, SO it
is the custom to reserve proportion of
the taxes each month in anticipation of
the December payment. The Union
Pacific, Tor instance, is required to paw
81 100000 In taxes each year, which sum
could not be taken from its earnings of
any particular month, hence the plan
was adopted of reserving the necessary
In monthly installments, con-
stltuting sinking fund for that special
purpose.
st is known that the Santa Fe COM
pany is dissatisfied with the assessment
put upon its property this year by the
new board OF assessors, and an intima-
ton has been given that the company
would contest the collection of the tax
in the courts on the grounds of unjust
and unequal assessment, the claim be-
ing made that the increase In the val
1atlon OF Santa Fe property was greater
than that OF any other railroad. and that
he increase was the result of political
against the Santa Fe managers
The exact course to be pursued bv
ne Santa Fe, however, has not been
definitely determined, and it is possible
hat the company will conclude to nav
he tax rather than to incur additional
liabilities through litigation.

We have been telling our republic
an friends for several years that all we
had to do was to remain firm and we
would come out all right; that the prin-
ciples OF the party were right the same

awhile and our weakened republicans
were very hard to hold, but the light
shines brightly enough now. Line up,
