BROWIT West side of the Plaza, one block from Market street, where you ea.11 find an entire stock ol All Kinds of Building Material. BROWN, ResidentZPartner. O'X' SCOTT, a resolution asking congress to put Gen. Grant on the retired list It is to be hoped that congress will do this act of justice to our greatest general, in spite of the petty jealousy of Kose-cranz and a few other members. England loaded her Gen.

"Wolseley with honors for defeating half armed and ill trained Egyptian troops. Much more then, shoidd the United States honor the general who defeated Gen. Lee and his splendid fighting north ern armies, and by so doing saved the nation and put it in position to pass on to its present position as the great nation of the world. "What is asked for Gen. Grant is not chari ty, but justice.

It is giving him sim ply what he has earned, and not all that he has earned, either. England seems to be a sort of puff- balL It has spread through colonies over the whole earth, and appeared to be solid against any foe. Yet even now, while fighting the wild forces of El Mahdi, she has encountered de feat, and seems to be in a strait for want of troops. Ireland has hitherto furnished much of her fightin men, but to-day no soldiers can be with drawn from the Emerald Isle for fear of an uprising, and they hesitate to enlist Irishmen for fear of dynamite. An Italian army has been bargained for to hold Lower Egypt, and allow the British troops there to be with drawn, and native regiments from In dia have been ordered to the Soudan to ficrht the Englishman's battles.

The much vaunted empire of Great Britain seems to be like an apple of Sodom, hollow within. The London Times advocates an al liance between England and the Uni ted States, as the great English speak ing nations, as race unions seem to be the order of the day. Europe is drift ing into a division of races, making three great alliances the German, the Slavonic and the Latin- in neith er of which can England belong. Left alone, then, she turns to this country. In such an alliance England would gain everything, and could give nothing.

The "United States is isolated and impregnable from attack by any foreign power. It has no coloniza tion schemes to further, and is inde pendent of European power, while an alliance with England would drag us into all sorts of complications. The best alliance for this Nation is the congress of American nations, to pro tect these continents from all inter ference from abroad, and stimulate a system of international trade. "We court no European alliances. Senator Ingalls and Conger, re ferring to the Swaim court martial Thursday in debate, emphasized what is known to be-a fact, that is; a spirit of jealousy and injustice practiced by graduates of "West Point against offi-cei's appointed jfi-om civil life.

This feeling was frequently shown during the late war, although it could not be carried to such an extent then as now, for the best fighting officers were not looked for from "West Point, the volunteers being equally brave and equal ly well trained for service alter very short periods, of and study. Nor were the best drilled troops found in regular ranks, volunteer regiments and batteries carrying off the -palm Volunteers had a feeling of pride in their efficiency, which did not en ter into the'' "ranks of the regulars, with whom it was rnereTxisiness. The regular troops did splendid service, and are deserving of praise, but it was volunteers who carried on the war, and made the country one and undivided. The best troops in the world are American volunteers. An old Timer.

An ever green arch, interspersed with cut flowers, was stretched across the chan cel, from which pended a beautiful monogram, made 01 tuoe roses and geraniums. The font had been wreathed in evergreens and flowers, and handsome bouquets form ed the bases of the chancel arch. The windows of the church were darken ed, and the lighted eras made the scene -a brilliant one. Shortly after 11 o'clock the wed ding party entered the church, to the music of the wedding march, as played by Mrs. M.

A FOBT SCOTT CONDUCTOR BAD BREAK. A villainous plot for the abduction of innocent girls was brought to light Sunday, and fortunately" frustrated. The victims selected by the originator of the scheme were two young sisters of Armourdale, aged 13 and 15 years.

They have grown up in that commu-ty, and are admired for their beauty, and loved universally for their innocence and unassuming manners. They further enjoyed the sympathy of all who know of the unfortunate death of their father, which occurred about two vears ago. On Thursday last the mother was" horrified by the following letter, which was handed her by her eldest daughter, who had just re ceived it from the post office: Kansas City, Feb'y 18, '85.

Hurley, The mother immediately placed the communication in the hands of Pros ecuting Attorney Gibson, and plans were begun for the capture of the villain. Saturday, at noon Sheriff Fer-enson went to Armourdale and se- creted himself at a point near the designated place of meeting. The two sisters repaired to the place, and promptly on time -a rough looking man made his appearance. He approached the little girls with flattering talk, and immediately invited them to accompany him towards the Armstrong railroad shops, at the same time reaching his hand towards the larger girL This so frightened them that they started to run, and Sheriff Ferguson sprang from his place of concealment and placed the man in custody.

The man refused to submit "until the sheriff covered him witn his re volver. He then became tractable, and stated to the sheriff that his name was Frank E. Ingalls, and that he was innocent of any attempt to harm the girls, and ignorant of any plot to abduct them. His explana tion of his presence there was that a conductor on the; Fort Scott road, named Frank M. Hurley, approached him in the morning and said that he had an engagement to meet two wo men in Armourdale in the afternoon.

but could not keep it, and requested him to go there and give the" parties some money. He came merely to oblige his friend. Notwithstanding the circumstances pointed to a different object, the county attorney instructed the sheriff to release him, there being a lack of direct evidence to convict him of an attempt to abduct. The greatest ex citement prevailed after Ingalls' re lease, and had the citizens found Jiim they would have exacted a more sat isfactory 'explanation, or treated him to a western baptism.
