HAD TO COME VOWX.
It w ill bu remembered that in the car
ly prt of the season '.he railroads leid
ina from Missouri river points to Chica
go, in view of the heavy wheat
crop raited west of the Missouri river,
rat.-ed the freight on that article live
cents ou the hundred pounds. Both the
press and the people denounced this un
warranted action in unmeasured terms
jrorlunaiciy the people of. Ivausos, to a
large extent, were in a condition to store
their grain and hold it, and thus defeat
ed the conspiracy against their pocket
books on tho part of the roads. After
waitlug two months, and finding that
the increased freight business expected
by them was not forthcoming, the
roads have concluded they mat'e
a mistake in raising the
lreight charges, and in order to stimu
late shipping and rectify the error Into
which their selfish greed hud led litem
aouihwestern roads have decidvd to re
duce the grain rates. Accordingly Com
misaioner Mldgley gives notice that
wheat rali-s from south woicrn Missouri
river points will be S3 cents to Chicago,
20 cents to St. Louis an 1 Mississippi
river pointsanl 30 cents to Toledo. Un
other graiu the rates will Io be reduc
ed, and will be live cents per 100 pounds

The lumlter rates lYorn Chicago to Mis

S3 cents per 100 pounds to 18 cents.

IX 1857.
DEMOCRATIC ULUSTEll.
It is rather amusicg all the talk v;o
hear about the taction ol Geo. W
Glick for governor, and it is evident thai
the Ehqs.is Denioctacy, aided by the
Kansas City Times, r playing the
game of brag aud blister aj their trump
card. Because Mr. Click's metliog are
well attended thfy argue that the peon to
are for him. Mr. Glick is a very good
man, aud popular, but the It public-Has
ol Kansas are cot quite ready to sur
render the state to a llourlion of the
strictest tect. Tlio dissatisfaction
which exists to some extent in the larger
t )ns over the candidacy ot Goveruor
St. John is very much magnified by the
Democratic caravan which i ravels front
town to town, mailing a furious Demo
cratic noise. Does any 1111114 who is
posted in Kausns politic believe for
a moment th'tl Ui. overwhelming ma
jority of tb-j U-publtc ius who rallied hi
St. John's tup;orl in the convenLiou.
giving him nearly Ibree.tuurths of the
votes iu that b-xly, wi!l-..,w btuliify
themselves by Joining la tho effort to
defeat the man of their own choice ? The
Kepublicaus of Kansas an; not made of
that sort of material. There are thou
sand of R'-publlcuus who would have
chosen sumo other man than Governor
St. John lor their standard-bearer, but
now that tUey have b-en fairly aud hon
orably beaten, they are not going to
change their p'diiica for spite. Gov-
erne.r St. John's course throughout
the campaign b.i. been, a manly
and Straightforward one. Even his en
emies musl admire bis conduct, and
give him due credit for a devotion to
the principles which be believe iu and
for a singleness and directness of our.
pose which ar! rare from nu n under the
circumtanees which h ivy aurroueded
him.
Aside from pttisan considerations the
temperance question ij very prominent
in the campaign, and the people of Kan
Bis believe St. John is right in hist lews
n that question. lie has had the m an
il mm! to udvtx-.iite his tempi 1. it.ee con
victions lrreKjH-ctive of personal consid
eration. This the people admire in him.
The people do net believe the prohibi
tion light Is over in lCausa. They have
male a record on tli at question and they
are cot now iroinir baek unon iimt
record. To aid in the defeat of
bt. John won t be a miujih
bach- ljwn from their temperance p r,:-
tion. Tin; litioulilieati of Kausa- me
not the kin 1 ot pooplewlio are Irigiit-
ened out of their principle by lu-t; in
and bluster. It is well enoueli for our
Democratic friend i to feel good over
the prospect of defeating St. John and
electing Glick. Now it is their time to
feel good, be;:aut9 there will bu nothiug
in the Kansas election returns to cheer
them.
The lb-publican ticket throughout is
a splendid one. '1 he teren uomicces
for congrrssnii:a ore the strongest and
best that could have been made. Every
one of the men is a true, nr.d tried re
publican, and nil are Kansuns t the
manor born. The same may bj s iid of
our Vitato ticket, nil the talk
about scratching St. John to s':cli
un extent as is predicted by
our Democratic friends is ho.-di.
The position of Mr. Glick ou the tem
perate-.: question is tai h that thousands
of DetuocraU will not vote for him. but
will support St. Jobu. The same may
be said of the Green backets. Governor
Robinsou is widely known us a bitter
opponent of prohibition, and hundreds
of Greeubackers will desert him for St.
John because they believe prohibition is
right, and because they do not desire any
backward slepj to bo taken by tho rtate
on that important subject.
PEUSOXAL LIBERTY.
A frightful picture of the ileiiiornliz i-
lion which liquor dunking biings is
drawn by a correspondent of ttie Man
chester, England, Guardian. The writer
has recently hce;i traveling in this coun
try uud notes the heller condition of
things here. IIo ?.ili nt:ention to the
number of drunken women ti the streets
ol Manchester, where v.n p: tannic the
people have always enjoyed a hih de
gree of "personal liherty." How long
this nation is to escape the Scen-.s dc
scribed by the Guanlian'scurrespondi nt,
probably dc nd altogether n the vig
ilance of the tempernnu people. We
quote from the correspondent: ''Hav
ing lately returned from America, where
a drunken woman in the t ree's is a mrii
act, and where women are never een
driukiug iu the si.looiis with men, exeert
in the most depraved p'aets, I pcrhnp
notice it in Manchester ruoie than those
who, living here, have ynt i.ct"Us:o:ued
to the siht. In Manchester I see with
boiror ami disgust that it ia a common
sight, aud one to be se n nt any hour of
either day or nihl; and in our public
and crowd. -d thoroughfares women mid
girls mere 1 hi!dre:i may frequently
Ih seen reeling tlirou;h the sireels, foul
ing the air with profanity and obscenity.
It ia a frightful slate ot ttiine uud
ought to be lookeil into and remedied
by law. I can assure you that, though
not very squeumisli, having lived out

many years, 1 ubivered w ith horror and

air. aaderbiil lomid, on hts return to
New York, that tho newspapers were
making it so hot tor him over the use of
his contemptuous expression, '-the pv.b
lie bed d," that he published a card
denying that bo ustd such languagn in
the sense attributed by the Chicago in
terviewer. Neither Mr. Vanderbiit or
any other man can live without the pub
lic after all. His wealth has been
gleaned from the public, aud his rail
roads are dependent upon public patron
age Mr. Vanderbiit aud every other
railroad owner and manager ought lo
be tho frieud of the public. lUi.lroads
cannot be built without capital, it is
true; neither can they be built and
maintained without the aid and support
of the public. We have but little doubt
but that Mr. Vanderbiit used the ex
pression credited to hUa, ami we have
little doubt, also, but that w hen lie came
to reflect over the rough and ungen
tlemauly expression he was ashamed of
It, aud Bexk3 to counteract the effect by
this denial.
NOT A DECLINER.
At a recent meeting of the Democratic
state central committee, II. Miles Moore,
of Leavenworth, was nominated for at
torney general in place of Sidney Hay
den, declined, and Col. Sim Wood,
Greenback candidate lor congresman-
at-largo, was made the Democratic can
didate, r O. A. Leland.declined. They
need not be apprehensive that Sam will
decline. lie U not a dccliuer. Sam
was here at the time of the convention,
and undoubtedly desired the nomination
at that time, but the motion to nomimite
him waa unceremoniously and almost
unanimously kicked out of the conven
lion. Taking that action as an expres
sion of the Democracy 'the committee
evidently took Saw as a dernier resort,
all the other nominees except a. fellow
named O'Flaherty, O'Finnigan, or some
thing of that sort, having declined pi
run. They u.ive a sure iiiirii m Mm
and O'Finnigan, or whatever his name
Is. '
POOR 2IATXE.
Seldom have we experienced so ranch
difficulty as we did in kef-ping back the
flood cf u a.-s which Mr. Ghck so feel
icg.y invited wucn portraying in nis
recent speech here the calamities which
ha7e befallen poor Maine in her unfor
tunate attempt to stay the tide of free
whisSy. Criminals and paupers, we
were told, are terribly on the increase ,nnd
the consumption of liquor frightfully
augmented. 1 f there was the semblance
of truth or a shadow cf excuse for these
statements of G lick's, oue would sup
ple that at least one of the three politi
cal parties or some crank would suggest
a remedy. The facts are, all three po
litical parties sustain prohibition, and
the legislature never meddles with the
question except to make tho law more
stringent.. The matter i easily han
dled there, for they have no constitu
tional provision, and do have annual
sessions of the legislature If nearly
every one drinks liquors there, as Glick
fiays, and the morals are go bad, why
don't they vote down prohibition and
have free whisky ? "
The law in question could have hud
littju effect ou that stato prior to 1807.
To show how utterly untru the state
ments or Mr. Glick are, we give below
four items covering tho last quarter of a
century and which go to show that in
the essential elements which mainfest
prosperity Maine has made good pro
gress. I liese figures are given by Hon.
James G. liiane who knows their accu
racy as well us any man in the nation:

We ptcume the liquor interest fur
nishes tho money for the Democratic
canvass in Kansas as it did in Ohio, snd
we are h d f inquire, first, why is not
the liquor business satisfied with Maine
as pictured by Click? Second, if Glick
is a Democrat wtiy did not be mention
that party's recent success in Ohio? He
could not without exposing what was
uu ler tho lion's skin.
RATHER THIN.
The country is already disgusted with
the thin uttempts of the star route
thieves and their attorneys to prove cor
rupt oilers to the jury ou the part of
the government ollicers in the late trial.
Tlio Chicago Tribune but expresses the
popular ver tict when it says theii efforts
will not Hand the test. The exposition
so far "rests upon ullldavils of two men
who have been engaged iu the work of
corrupting juries iu the past ; of Dick
sou, the foreman of the jurv, who vio
lated the instruction of tho court,
and has shown himself lo be suspicious
ly solicitous to convict the government
ot an cifoi'l to corrupt him : ami of de.
teetives whose biiMti'ss in such cases
r.eier cominumU any great amount of
respect. U'ut aside from the char
acter of th) witnesses summoned by
the coun-el for the star-route criminals
lo prove the attempt of bribery the
aflidavits which have been made fail to
sutstaati.Ue the theory of bribery, but
seem to tdiow that the government
oDleeis, believing that efforts were be
ing made to bribe jurors for the benGt
of the accused, sought lo head off the
attempt, and, If possible, to procure
eyidciico of the proposed corruption in
cwmi it ere carried out.- Ilmi'.y or may
not have been a mistake on the part of
the sal, ordinate government officers to
go into tho detective business, but the
undertaking certainly does not warrant
the theory that they were trying to
br;be tho jurors. For .the rest, such a
thiorylsfoo absurd to commend itself
lo intelligent judgment. There have
b;en no recent evidences of such exag
gerahd ind mi.xguii'.ed patriotism as
would induce private persons to con
tribute liberally of their own money to
bribe jurors Jo e.'t.vid government
thieve., ::nJ theic is certuiuly no fund
at command of the department of jus,
tice and no expectation of a congres
sional appropriation lo lie used for pur
poses of bribery. The story I altogeth
er too thin."
Among the Republican nominees in
Lthcite county we are glad to see the
name of our friend, J. II. Crlchtoo, for
representative. Without wishing to in
terfere In the affairs of the Republicans
of thai county, .we must express the
hope that he will be elected by a good
mnjoil'y. "e do so because we be
lieve his election wou'd be a good thing
for I.a'etlc county and the elate at
iar;e. Mr. Criehton ihs bad experience
iu the legislature aud in state affairs
that would make him a valuable mem
ber of that body. We kuow hi in to be
thoroughly devoted to the inte rests of
ti.e stale. In his capacity as a regent of
tho Normal tchool r.t this place for
stveialcuts be has proved his devo
tion to those interests iu many
ways. To him more than to any
oilier man, pcrhatie, is due the
present substantial and successful stand
ing of this inttituliou. He has laliored
incessantly through all its trouble's to
bring tho school to its present con
dition, uud it is to his splendid execu
tive and financial ability, as well as lo
his unselfish ifforis and never tiring en
ergy that the school owes much of its
triumphant success over obstacles that
at one time seemed in surmountable. It
is frelfsustuinlng, ai.d while all the
ui' mhers of the board have worked faitti
fullv to achieve tills end, Mr. Criehton,
by reason of being long a member, and
by ri as n of being well posted in its af
fairs, was put forward by the board to
on tue worK, ana tic nus etone it with a
fidelity that has been marked. We be
lieve Mr. Criehton would do the same
kind of work for the public cood in the
legislature, mid we shall bail his elec

tuiug ior too people.
LET US PROCEED.
At the Republican county convention
in Atchison couuly on the 18th the reso-
lut ions which we publish below were
offered by Col . John A. Martin, of the
Champion, and adopted by the conven

author, and have the true ring and exhib
it the right spirit.
Resolved, That it is always the dutv
and the privilege ot the Republican par
ly to give mat always wromr-neaded and
wrong-hearted organization, the Demo

Ret-olved. That the faithful discbarge
of this duty was nevermore imperative
ly demanded by the higher considera

If the Democrats have control of the

But then of course it is a Republican

T. Reynolds, living at Griffin, during a

the shaft of the arrow out, and although
the head broke off and remained in the
body, he astonished everybody by re

The Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, late of
Detroit, but now of Indianapolis, makes
a vigorous protest against rented pews.
He maintains that in the early times of
Christianity all places of worship were
free, and the services voluntarily con
ducted by ministers and others who had
no stated salary. In those days the
Lord's people paid the expenses by
voluntary gifts. Mr. Pierson claims
that renting or selling pews introduces
a human and ungodly proprietorship
into the Lord's bouse ; that it fosters a
self-righteous spirit in the ungodly who
pay pew rent, and that it tends to mess:
ure and weigh men by the money stand
ard. He would have free-will offer
ings brought every Sunday, snch as the
people can fairly afford, and the expen
ditures limited by the amount of these
offerings. Mr. pierson is also earnest

Kakf as City, Oct. 19 A novel fea
ture has appeared in tbe Higginsville
postmaster cue and was argued in the
Lnited states court to-day. Tbe grand
jury yesterday returned an endictraent
against .awaru ctaypool tor obstruct
ing the mails. The facts as heretofore
published are that at HigKinsville. Mis
souri, last August, a quarrel arose be
tween CI a j pool and John W. Erdlcy,
the posmastcr there. Clavpool. it is
charged, ou the 28ih of August entered
ine posiomce just as a pouch of mail
was receiveil and assaulted the postmas
ter, and during the melee, which lasted
some time, the mail could not be dis
tributed. Immediately upon the return
ing of the indictment the defence filed a
demurrer, maintaining that the mails
could not bo obstructed except when in
motion on a railway tram, wagon or
stage. The prosecution argued that
mails arc in transit until delivered to
the person addressed, and that casa in
point comes w:th in the meaning of the
statute. The ruling of the" court is
awaited with interest, as this point has
never yet bi eu passed upon.

how - he
could tell a storv that vnni.i
implicate others and the elder caotain
and let the witness himself go free. Be
sides it was said that there was a large
reward offered and that the witness
would get a big share of that. He at

sincerely repented since and hope that
God will forgive the captain." . He has
been described as a negro, but he is not.
He is of a very dark complexion and is

More About Gnlteaa.
Cuicauo, Oct. 21. In tbe Scoville in
sanity case Fannie Scoville Harper, the
j - .
daughter testified that she intercented a
"ote from Geo. W-Earlie to Mrs. Sco-
ville, the contents
of which were verv
improper and that she had seen her
mother kiss three men when she had no
right to, and heard of many others she
had kissed. She declined to givo the
names. Dr. A. McFarlan, of Jacksonville,
in, no was eubprjeosd, but did not
testify in the Guiteau murder trial, and
who has been for 20 years in the hos
pital lor the insane in New Uamphire
and Illinois, said: 13 years ago Luther
W. Guiteau brought to him an insane
sister for treatment From Guiteau's
talk, which was very peculiar, he set
him down as a crazy man. The impres
sion made was very strong on the wit
ness and he readily saw how Luther's
son could get into a state or mind nec
essary to kill President Garfield. He
met Mrs. Scoville in Washington last
winter; she had a fierce controversy
with John W. Guiteau about witness's
testimony. - John declared nobody
should testify hia father was
insane, Mrs. Scoville said
he should testify, and said all the fam
ily were predisposed to insanity. He
believed, that Mrs. Scoville'e fainting
and epilepsy were sure lo produce insan
ity, her being a chaste and loving wife
until recently, and her sudden change
was good evidence to him of her unsound
mind. He held, in jshort, that the whole
family, including Joha W, were of un.
sound mind and more or less insane.
The Lost Jeaaaette.
Washington, Oct. 21. Before the
Jeannette board of Inauirv Lieutenant
Danenhower testified to-day that every.
imug was aone mat was possible to
avoid the loss of tho Jeannette. The
lorce brought to bear on the Jeannette
was sufficient to crush any ship that
could possibly be constructed if she
were held in the same nositinn. The
witness was asked what he would have
done if he had been in commaud of the
Jeannette at the time she entered the
ice pack, and answered : "I should have
trie i to get her out of the pack on th0
evening of September 6th." The quea

una tne evidence conclusive that the
fog sequel on the island-was not blow-
ing at the time the vessel went ashore.
and if it had been it must have neces
sarily been heard in time to have pre
vented the disaster. The court found
a slight error in the judgment of the
master of the Bremen in directing the
course of his ship, but it was not grave
enough to justify it in dealing with his
certificate.
