As soon us Mr. Cleveland returns from
his fishing excursion the work of removing
offensive partisan? ill be prosecuted vig
orously, it is reported.
The Atchison, Topekti and Santa Fe is
the first of Kansas railways to accept the
grain rates fixed by the railroad commis
sioners in their recommendation of August

It seems that all of Envoy Sedgwick's
denials that he did not indulge too freely
in Mexican mescal arc unavailing. The
facts all show that he had a disgraceful
Mexican jamboree, and that is all there is
of it.
The migratory birds are leaving for the
south a month earlier than hist year, which
it is .said, means an earlier winter. There
is so much to be done yet this fall in south
ern Kansas that we hope the birds, or the
prophesy of them may be off.
Xcal Dowe, the Maine third-party Prohi
bitionist leader, was asked a few days ago
If U-vrcic trtu; tilUt Ot. John hoI rofui1 in
speak unless paid in advance. lie replied:
"Yes; he did refuse to speak in Augusta
because they coulun t raise any money; also
in Bangor. The only two speakers of our
party who get paid are Mr. at. .John and
the Confederate colonel from Kentucky."
There is a marked revival of speculative
activity in the New York stock market.
Bonds of all classes are active and strong.
Government bonds advanced on purchases
by the national banks. 3Ioney is easier
though rates arc firm at between 5 aud G
per cent. The eastern wool markets arc no
less favorable for holders, the tendency of
prices being upward. On some lines a rise
of one-half cent a pound has been attained.
An exchange suggests that it may not be
generally known that there is a very simple
aud inexpensive remedy for cuts and
bruises on horses and cattle, at the com
mand of every one. It is nothing more
than to apply to the wound lime, fresh
slacked, of the consistency of tliick cream,
with a common paint brush. Cover the
wound with it as quickly as possible, and
repeat it daily, or oftener, if necessary.
In a short time new ilesh will form and the
wound heal with hardly a scar.
Commenting on the woik of the anti-saloon
Republican conference in Chicago, the
Inter-Ocean says : "The convention may
not become historic, as Senator Blair
prophesied, but it will not be remembered
uupleasmlly. It may not accomplish
much good, but it will never be said of its
members that they met as obstructionists
or that tliey encouraged dissension.
They were honest, earnest, fighting Repub
licans, who desired to have their say in :i
great moral issue, and who exercised their
privilege to their own Mtisfaetion and
credit."
ANXmiKUIAlivY.
The Newton Kansui, one of the oldest
papers in southwest Kansas, appeared Sun
day morning as a daily.au eight column dai
ly. Our views of the.se daily paper ven
tures in southern Kansas has been expicss
ed so often that we will not repeat them
now. The Ivans an is a very pretty, bright
sheet, in size large enough for a city of
twenty thousand, and without reference to
our judgement, we wish Mr. Ashbaugh a
success which shall reach his expectations.
THE SANTA l'K'N NEW LINlIS.
The Santa Fe is not only going to build
from Xcw Kiowa southwest to Albuqurque
but two hundred and twenty-five miles of
the line is to be put in at once. This will
carry it to the Canadian river country. It
is proposed to make this line, w hich will
go by the way of the Walnut valley, the
through Pacific line. The Santa Fe is
also running a survey northwest through
the southern part of Chase comity and over
the line which the 'Frisco people hrd
marked out for an extension of their lin""
from Fredonia to Salina. Tho Santa Fe
have also submitted propositions for a line
from Grecnsburg, Kiowa county, to the
southwest corner of Chirk county. This
last line will be directly in the interest of
Wichita. As for the extension from New
Kiowa southwest, whose interest that will
be in remains to be seen, but Wichita ought
to and no doubt will gain very largely by it.
An old Kansas Democrat mournfully re
marked, a few days ago: "I heard Tom
Moonlight make a speech, in 1808, that was
the most violent and abuse tirade against
the Democratic party and its leaders I ever
listened to; and now they have nominated
him for governor, and expect me to vote
or him, Somehow the abusive speech
rings In my cars. If lie was right then, the
Democratic party ought to be eternally
damned in this election, as well as in all
others. If he slandered and lied about the
Democratic party then, no Democrat ought
to vote for him now."
Old KansailS remember the time, not
many years ago, when Moonlight was the
most radical of Republicans. In 1863 he
was the Republican candidate for secretary
of state, and made speeches for the Repub
lican ticket. Two of the planks in the
Republican state plaform of 18G8, on
which Col. Moonlight ran, and which he
heartily endorsed at the convention, aud
approved on the stump, were as follows:
"Resolved, second, That the history of
the Democratic party in Kansas, from its
earliest attempt to force the system of hu
man slavcrv upon a reluctant people, its
systematic violation of the ballot, its per
fidious apathy during the struggle for na
tional existence, is a record of violence,
cowardice and fraud. Its leaders and its
principles are unchanged,and deserve alike
the unqualified opposition of every citizen
who believes in the supremacy of lav and
the pcrpetuitv of free institutions.
"Resolved," third, That the studied and
persistent hostility of the Democratic party
to the prosecution of the war for the pres
ervation of the Union, its constant and ma
lignant efforts in the North to perplex the
Government and ' dishearten the people,
aud its open and undisguised treason in the
South, its position of uncompromising op
position to every measure originated for
the safety of the Nation : its nomination of
candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent (Seymour & Blair) who propose, if
elected, to trample in the dust laws duly
enacted, to disperse State Governments,
constitutionally established, and undo the
work of reconstruction with violence and
blood, impel all friends of the Republic,
with renewed energy, to rally in support of
the Republican party, around which the
hopes of the Nation clustered in its darkest
hours."
In the Democratic State Convention that
year, as delegates, were Hon. Thomas P.
Fenlon, Judge W. R. Wagstaff, Judge
John Martin, S. C. Bephart, J. P. Taylor
Isaac Sharp, A. G. Otis, B. P. Waggeuer,
and many others equally well known. The
Democratic candidate for Governor was
George W. Glick ; for Congress, Gen,
Charles W. Blair : for Secretary of State,
Wilson Shannon, jr. ; for Associate Justice,
D. R. Wagstaff ; and for Attorney Gen
eral, Ross Burnes. These were the "lead
ers" who, Colonel Moonlight then declared,
deserved "alike the unqualified opposition
of every citizen "who believes in the su
premacy of the law and the perpetuity of
free institutions," aud whose history and
actions in Kansas constituted an unbroken
"record of violence, cowardice and fraud."
Colonel Moonlight made speeches, in all
parts of Kansas, endorsing this platform,
and he was elected Secretary of State by
the Republicans, beating Wilson Shan
non, jr.
Tn Soptombor, 1870, Moonlight was a
candidate, before the Republican stale con
vention at Topeka, for congressman, re
ceiving ten votes. Failing to receive this
nomination, he became a candidate for re
nomination as sectetary of state, but was
beaten, receiving only thirteen votes out of
one hundred and and seventy-six. Two
years later, in 1872. he was an applicant
for appointment as United States marshal.
Failing to receive this appointment, he be
came sour aud soic-headed. and drifted
into the Democratic parly.
This is the political history of the man
the Democrats of Kansas are asked to vote
for. Senator Ingalls made him a Democrat
by refusing to have him appointed United
States marshal, and he has ever since hated
aud abused the Republican party and John
J. Ingalls with about equal bitterness.
Moonlight is, however, consistent in one
thing. He is for fiee whiskey, all the
time. He it was who forced Judge John
Martin to decline the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor, in 1882, by bulldozing
the 'Democratic slate convention into adopt
ing and nullification platform, on which
Judge Martin refused to run. The Leaven
worth platform of 18SG is his platform. It
is not only against prohibition, but against
any restraints or restrictions on the whisky
traffic. It is against local option, against
high license, and against anything except
an unrestricted whisky traliic a license
system permitting anybody to open a saloon
who pays for the pri ilegc.
This is the record and position of the
man for whom the Democrats of Kansas.
arc so used to "wincing under their own
galling that they naturally think that every
body else must be suffering also.
The truth is the Democratic party is a
party of bosses. Jackson is their patron
saint ana uc was an ideal boss in every
public relation of his life. Name us any
state or any city in this country where the
Democratic party is dominant and we will
name a state or city which is ruled by
"bossism" in its most offensive and dan
gerous form, we don't care whether it's a
Tammany in New York or the mere po
litical cliques and rings of a South Carolina
or a Mississippi. What the one is and has
been costing New York for years and what
others have cost the south we need not tell
Republicans, for they know, and it is use
less to tell Democrats for they won't heed,
but the high handed corruption upon the
one hand and the blasting effects of in
trigue upon the others are disputed and de
nied only by the Democratic party them
selves, who no doubt would deny that the
work of last Saturday in this city had all
been practically prearranged.
SARATOGA CELEBRATION.
K. P. Rhoades, chief engineer and su
perintendent of construction of the Kansas,
Pratt & Western, will be the recipient .of
much deserved praise today at Saratorga,
which place will celebrate the completion
of that road to that point. Wichita ex
tends a friendly hand to the Saratogans, and
to the people of Pratt county generally,
congratulating them upon the auspicious
occasion which binds them to the rest of
the world with a line of steel. The King
man silver cornet band and the Saratoga
cornet band will furnish the music. A
match game of base ball between King
man and Saratoga will take place. A full
and complete program. Excellent speak
ers will be present, among whom are Gov.
John A. Martin, Thomas Moonlight, Dem
ocratic candidate for governor; Hon. Thos.
George, Hon. S. R. Peters, "Tim" Mc-
Cartyand hi3 "Pawnee Braves," Judge
Clark and Judge Houk have been invited,
and a number of them signified their inten
tion of being present.

AN HONOR TO THE STATE.
From the Atchison Champion.
The corner stone of the new Garfield
University, at Wichita, will be laid with
appropriate ceremonies October 8th. The
handsome structure will be built of brick,
with stone trimmings, at a cost of $100,000.
It will include sixty rooms, including a
chapel capable of seating 3,000 persons.
This is the first institution of learning
erected by the Christian church in Kansas,
and it will be a credit to the denomination
and an honor to the state.

MR, PRENTIS' REMARKS AT CHICAGO.
The Chicago Times thus reports Mr.
Noble L. Prcntis' remarks at the Chicago
anti-saloon Republican caucus:
He paid in Kansas they had a Republican
party aud a Democratic party, which they
kept like a sandbag in a gymnasium to
thump. They also had a third party, a
small one, which was spending its time
abusing the Republican party, which p:issed
a prohibition law for them just as they
wanted iteven when the jails were so full
of saloon keepers that their coat tails -were
sticking out of the windows. There is
really but one party in Kansas, and that is
the Republican party. This party has
made prohibition a success. The speaker
then read a statement made by
Governor Martion, the Republican govern
or of Kansas, asserting that prohibition has
worked a great reform in that state, and
that those people who say the drug stores
have been turned into saloons tell what
they know to be untrue. In the banish
ment of the saloon nineteen-t entieths of
the drunkenness went with it, and the bale
ful influences of the saloon as a loafing
place also went along. The present gener
ation of old drinkers may get liquor on the
sly under the present law. but the rising
generation is growing to detest liquor, and
will not want nor get it. I lie youth are
free from temptation. Nobody, added the
speaker, need fear for Kansas. She is all
right. He commend Kansas' example
for the convention to follow.

Our readers could hardly have failed no
ticing the cut and dried atmosphere which
laid so heavily on the Sedgwick county
Democratic convention last Saturday.
In the principal convention there was not
a single contest that could be called such.
Everything was shoved through as per pro
gram on schedule time. The candidates
having all been previously determined up
on by the bosses, each as his place was an
nounced, was trotted out and trotted
through .unanimously by acclamation and
in great shape. Such harmony could out
come of the cooked work of bosses. If the
candidates were angels they would b re
pudiated by the Republican party, if so
foisted into their campaign. In reading
over tho report of the doings of that con
vention we find its entire proceedings al
most wholly taken up with little unimport
ant details and useless formalities. The
real work for which such bodies arc sp
posed to Ik called into existence, proved
simply a rapid routine endorsement of
what had all bjen, very eti'L-ntly, deter
mined Ijcfore. In making up their central
committee, also the, authoritv
was vested in six or seven
should have been the committee
The Daily Globe of Emporia, in review
ing the work done by the Republican con
ventions in the different parts of the state,
says the followiug of Sedgwick county:
"The Republicans of Sedgwick county,
which now has three members, had the
good sense to select the two for le-clcction
who represented that county last year, Hon.
Rodolph Hatfield and R. E. Lawrence.
The other is A. II. Carpenter, and if wc are
not mistaken he is a prominent business
man at Valley Center. Mr. Hatfield was
one of the ablest speakers in the last house,
aud both he and Mr. Lawrence were re
garded as among the best and most indus
trious members." Mr. Hatfield is certainly
an orator of which the booming city of
"Wichita may be justly proud. If we" are
right in regard to Mr. Carpenter, this Sedg
wick delegation will be a strong one. "N c
may predict this, anyhow, because no peo
ple so full of vim and "git up and go" as
those in Scdwiek would send any other
than one of their representative men."

There seems so be a strange misunder
standing in some of the envious portions of
Kansas. Here is a Wichita paper declar
ing thatjfvansas City is in a peck of trouble;
that her north western road is a fizzle. Per
haps the wish is father to the thought. To
us it appears probable that the road will
be a conspicuous success. As Mr. Newman
Erb so brilliantly said to our esteemed con
temporary, the Journal, "The road has
not been" sold; the bonds have merely
changed hands that's all." Kansas City
