tiles other than his own"
There are two kinds of carpet.
baggers distinguished from each
other by the manner in which they
carry on their work; one may be
properly denominated the private
carpet.bagger, the other the Official
carpet-bagger. The former is a
private individual who sets out on
his own hook, and, relying upon
his own resources, goes abroad
and undertakes to run the party
caucuses and conventions, and to
!" lshape generally the politics of some
foreign community with view to
4 his own political agrandizement.
4 The latter is an adventurer who
goes forth from home to run and
manage the public affairs Of some
foreign community under an ap-
pointment from the general gov
ernment.
Official pet-bagging is as an
cient as Imperialism; it is the off
spring Of conquest and colonial
tion, and follows as closely in the
track of conquerlng armies as a
wolf on the heels Of carnage. I'm
perial Rome invented it. For
many centuries her armies were
busted in reducing petty nations,
stalking off provinces, deposing the
native officials, and filling all the
places of honor, profit and trust
with imperial tools from the licen-
tious purlieus Of the Eternal City.
These appointed agents of the en-
pire generally consisted of one
headman, or inspector general,
with a countless pack of tax
gatherers and revenue collectors,
who took occasion to enrich them
selves by dividing the proceeds Of
their labor between their own
pockets and the home exchequer.
The natives were allowed nothing
to say about the government that
was over them; nothing as to what
should be done with the moneys
wrung from them by the gatherers
and collectors.
What an archetype of the Cher
okee nation at the present timel
How history does repeat ITSELF
But Rome finally rotted in the
root and fell.
In this country, prior to the
election of Mr.. Mckinley, there
was but little room allowed in our
political system for the practice of
carpet.bagging of any kind. A few
territorial appointments, and few
Indian agents constituted the sum
total Of this kind Of public service;
and these appointments were do
mestic in their nature, and seem
in general to have been justified
by the necessities of the case. But
since the ancient fencing of the
Monroe doctrine has been broken
down, and Uncle Sam has been in
duced by Republican guile to sail
out pellmell in the wild career of
imperialism, the jurisdiction of
the Presidents appointing power
has become, within the short space
Of three years, so enlarged to in
cIude territory in all parts Of the
known world. Such collapsed
autonomies as Cuba. Porto Rico,

word has been recently brought
from the east to the effect that the
emperor of China is fugitive, and
that his government has collapsed
under the heels Of the allied pow
ers; if this be true, Mr.. Mckinley
will need no further enlargement
to his dumping ground for many
years to come.
The principles upon which these
appointments are made are scarce
ly creditable to American civiliza-
ton. The native population is
disfranchised, and native men are
Ignored. The appointee is gener-
ally imported from some remote
corner of the political world where
he has attained to some sort of
distinction for performing some
sort of unpublished work in the
interest of the Republican party.
The selection is made without the
least discernable reference to the
fitness of the appointee tor the
work which he is ostensibly to do.
The only civil service interroga-
tory he has to encounter (if any at
all) is something like. these: "Do
you know how tosrun township
caucus, or county convention
successfully" with an emphasis
on successfully" "Did you carry
your county for Mckinley three
years ago?o "Can you do so some
more?"
These questions all answered in
the alternative, the applicant is
approved, and deemed competent
to enter and fill any place in the
carpet-bag service from governor
general down through all the
responsible :gradations of juris-
prudence, education, and morals
to tax gatherer and townsite sur
veyor.
The private carpet-bagger is
product peculiar to American
civilizstion; he is not known--has
has never been heard of--in Eu-
rope. The precise time any place
of his nativity are somewhat en-
vironed with Uncertainty. 1t is
pretty clear, however, that he be-
gan his existance up north of
Mason and Dixon's line, some few
years prior to the outbreak of the
late civil war. His principal field
of adventure lay south OF that linn

old garment which those frey old |
southerners used to draw over the
shoulders of the boy whenever he

the palmetto according to to the
notions Of the pine.
In disciplined organization, this
kind of carpet-bagging comes to be
a most formidable power. In this
guise it is called filibustering. Be
it said to the credit of the filibuster
that is not so much his nature to
make war upon home communities
as it is to 60 out after foreign con-

Morning and Make up q Verdict,
Daily Argus of Thursday last.
Mr.. Zeb. B. Lancaster, a high
ly respected white man and con-
stable of Pikeville township, lost
his life yesterday while attempts
ing TO arrest a negro, Wesley
White, at the saw mill of Mr.. N.
W. Musgrave in this county.
Tae circumstances which led up
to the shooting that resulted in
the death of Lancaster are that a
warrant had been issued against
the negro White for beating his
wife, an offence of which he had
been guilty many times before.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Lancaster
went to the saw mill where White
was at work and placed him I'M
der arrest. Later in the day White
succeeded in getting away from
| the constable and went back to the
mill and went to work, telling the
hands at the mill that if Lancas-
ter attempted to arrest him again
that somebody would have to die;
that he would allow no one to ar
rest him but Sheriff Scott or one
of his deputies.
Yesterday afternoon Constable
Lancaster went to the mill in
company with E. B. Best and
Stephen Pate, whom he carried
with him to assist in arresting and
keeping White. When White saw
the men coming he hid behind the
boiler with his pistol in his hand.
MI Lancaster started toward the
place where White was hidden.
AS soon as he was near enough
White stepped from behind the
boiler and began firing at Lam
caster, who also drew his revolver
and began firing. Neither n was
hurt by the shooting at this time,
but White ran eff a few steps and
turned and fred at Lancaster, who
fell on the spot, the ball striking
him in the abdomen. White then
fred at Stephen Pate, but missed
him and then ran off into the
woods and made good his escape.
Medical aid was summoned
from this city, but Lancaster died
in a few hours after he was shot /.
DR.. Thomas Hill, the county
coroner, went out to the scene this
morning and summoned a jury o:
inquest, who rendered the follow.
ing verdict:
"Zeb. B. Lancaster came to hit
death on the 18th day of June
1900, from the effects of a pisto.
shol wound through the abdomen,
the pistol being fred by Wesley
White, colorod, with malicious
intent, while Lancaster was in the

RECEIVERS WANTED.
Two Union Pacific Feeders
Which Must Be Sold.

Suits were filed in the United States
circuit court today to foreclose the
mortgages on two more Kansas rail-
roads, and applications were made to
have receivers appointed for them.
They are both short lines, the Solomon
railroad, running from Solomon on the
Union Pacific to Beloit, and the Salina
& Southwestern, running from Salina
to Mcpherson.
These roads are both branches of the
Union Pacific, but are owned by sepa-
rate corporations. They are the last
of the Union Pacific lines to be fore
closed. The Solomon Valley road is
56.83 miles long, and the Salina &
Southwestern is 1916 miles long.
The Solomon Valley road was built
in 1878 It was the original intention to
run it on to Kirwin, in Phillips county,
a distance of 40 miles, out the Cen
tral branch from AtchiSon reached Be
lott ahead of it, and as the Central
Branch ran on to kirwin the Union Pa
cific people abandoned their project of
extending the Solomon road.
The petition in the Solomon Valley
foreclosure case cites the fact that it
was agreed that the road should be
bonded for not more than $4,000 a mile,
and bonds to the amount of $575, 900
were issued in May. 1878, and sold to
Sidney Dillon and Carlos S. Greeley, as
trustees. The trustees have since died,
and as no successors nave been ap-
pointed the bonds are iii the posses
sion of the Union Pacific company it
self. They are per cent. gold bonds,
and mature in 1908.
The interest on these bonds amounts
to $34. 800 year. and was kept up until
May l, 1885. On that date IS Of the SIS
coupons were defaulted. and there has
been no interest paid since The road
runs up the fertile Solomon valley
through Minneapolis and Glasco, and is
one of the best feeders of the Kansas
division of the Union Pacific.
The petition asks that the mortgage
be declared a first lien on the road and
that it be sold to satisfy the indebted
ness; that a receiver be appointed to
take charge of the road and that an
injunction be granted to restrain the
I Solomon Railroad company from inter
fering with the plaintiffs rights in tbs
matter. The petition is signed by W
R. Kelly and A L. Williams. as Solici-
tors for the Union Pacific company, and
by William d. Cornish, it's vice presi-
dent.
The answer of the Solomon Railroad
company is also filed, signed by N. H
LoomiS, its solicitor. It admits prac-
tically all of the petition, except thai
the road is not worth enough to cover
the indebtedness.
The suit against the Salina & South
western is brought in the names Of
| John F. Dillon and Peter B. Wyckof
as trustees, the HOlQeTS OF the DOudS
The bonds were issued in 1882 and
amount to $4,000, a little less thar
SIS, ZOO a mile. The payments on 20I
| coupons were defaulted on September
| l. 1896, and nothing has since been paid
| The interest amounts to S32, 400 a year
/ This road is also an excellent feeder
to the Union Pacific, running down
| through Lindsborg to Mcpherson.
The petition is signed by the sam'
solicitors as in the other case, and il
I
swer as in the Solomon Valley case il
also filed by Mr.. LOOMS
