The Howard Grip, in the course of a lengthy article, coloring the factional and personal quarrels that have distracted tho Republican party of Kansas, of late years, declares that a great many men in this state, who have voted with the Republicans heretofore, lie-cause it was more pleasant and-popular to do so, are really Democrats, and will hereafter be found with that party. "It is not impossible, therefore," says the the rip, "that if tho same reckless spirit that has characterized the Republican party during the past few years, is continued, the state will be turned over to the opposition." It concludes: 'In future there will be more politics and less policy in Kansas. Democrats will be Democrats, because there is a faint hope of an occasional victory; consequently Republicans should be Republicans, drop the cursed habit of quarreling among themselves, put forward good men, look more to the advancement of the party than the punishing of some member on personal grounds, and the result will be gratifying. There is but one true road to success and the Republican party should take it without hesitancy. It will be well to keep the tax on whiskey, beer and tobacco, and levy a tax on all incomes over $5,000.

The people had no greater friend and defender, and the corporations no foe more unrelenting and pitiless, than Judge Jere Black, the great lawyer who died a short time since. It will be remembered that he had been retained by Governor Glick in the cases against the Pacific road. Just before ho died, in reply to the suggestion of KANSAS LANDS. The iiainouso, crops harvested and yet promised in Kansas, yield of bushels of wheat ami an estimate yield of DusbeLs of com, will invite immigration, into the state.

Kansas has been persistently and judiciously advertised for years, but no better advertisement ever went abroad for it than the year's report of crops, The result connot help bringing a great tide of immigration into the state at an early day such an influx as was never witnessed before. And it is gratifying- to know that notwithstanding the marvelous rapidity with which, Kansas has been, settled up of kite years. There are millions of acres of 'tillable land and good grazing grounds that have not been taken These unoccupied acres arc as good as most of the land that has been put under cultivation and with proper industry are susceptible of being made to yield just as bountifully as all the fields that produced wheat, corn, barley, oats, potatoes, hay and other agricultural products this year. There are at present, almost 18,000,000 acres of land, government railroad and school in the state awaiting occupation, and which can be occupied at moderate prices. In the Lamed land district there are 2,550.580 of land, government land unoccupied in the Independence district, 302.000 in the Kirwin district, in the Concordia district, in the Palina district, in the Wakeeny district, 2,222,580 in the Wichita district, 2,318,500 and in the Oberlin district, acres.

All these lands are susceptible of cultivation, or afford good grazing, and are especially adapted for sheep rais ing. Besides" this great area of government lands open to settlement, the state has for sale about acres, of which the University owns 3,200 acres; and the state normal school 12,500 in addition, the state owns 2,000,000 acres of unoccupied school lands. The railroad companies, too, hold a large number of undisposed of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe, acres and the Missouri, Kansas Texas, 120,000 and the Kansas Pacific, 2,500,000 acres. From such an exhibit, the lands of Kansas are seen not to be exhausted by any means, and that no mutter how great the immigration the supply of good farming and very desirable grazing lands will hold out for some time to come. With the inducement which Kansas has to offer in good cheap lauds to immigration, and the prospects held out by this year's crop, prosperity ought to make an abiding place lor itself in our state for years to come.

A kitchen girl describes herself as a Pan-Slavist. She is supposed to be from Boston. The country is now the possessor of three great juries the star route jury, the Dukes jury anil tho James jury. If a great man calls you a liar treat him with silent contempt. well, however, to guard against that contempt being too conspicuous.

It is safe to say that the federal pension laws have made more cripples during tho past ten years than the confederates made during the five years of the war. It is said that over $15,000,000 of fractional currency is still outstanding, although it is practically out of circula tion. It supposed that a large part of it has been lost or destroyed. Emporia Republican. Between drinks Van Bennett is a prohibitionist, and on election day a Democrat.

We cannot see that such advocates can be of any benefit to the prohibition cause. The word letter of marque, for the commission of a privateer, is derived from mark, the German for frontier as being the right to capture property beyond the limit or boundary of another State.

We are sorry to learn that quite a number of tho Kansas creameries have failed in making expenses this vear. However, the experience of this year's work will qualify them for a more tjuccessf ul run next season. Atchison Champion The Indianapolis News is bragging on the musical culture of Indiana.

KANSAS CORKEMl'OXMNCE. Writing tinder the; above heading, "8. P. E. 0.

ft correspondent of tlie Loganspoi't (Ind.) Daily 'Jovrmd, touches up a few matters in and around lola in tho following mnnner "Editor, Jouunai. Thinking that a few lines from this part of tho Jay-hawker State, nnd especially as it is from a section where quite a number are located 'who came from Logans-port, would interest your readers. We have herd a town of about 2,000 to inhabitants, situated in Allen county, 108 miles from Kansas City, on the C. L. H.

K. H. 11. At this point tho Ft Scott and Wichita road crosses for the West We are in a fine corn raising country, and the crop cannot be excelled tfils year. In this town is the great.

lola Mineral Water, which cures all diseases that flesh is heir to. This well was discovered in 1872, by men boring for coal, at tho depth of 73(5 feet through a strata of coal, marble and slate stone, The medicinal qualities of this water was not thoroughly understood until in 1876, when it was analyzed by tho Geological men from the State University, whereupon Mr. Acres and son built a hotel for the accommodation of guests which is filled most of the time. Here it is that Capt. T.

J. Ijams came for the benefit of his wife's health, which has improved so much since she came, two months ago, that she is now able to walk to the well and around the city, and we are informed by the Captain that she weighs about 112 pounds, and to those who were acquainted with her, this will no doubt be quite a surprise and Capt. is the happiest man in Kansas to-day. as he is familiarly called at Lo-gansport, is in the carriage business here with" a man from Muncie, by the name of Knapp, the firm name being Knapp Ijams, and they are making and shipping these buggies to all parts of the State. Stepping across the square we have James Brosier and folks.

Jim has erected two fine brick buildings here at a cost of about and intends to start a bakery and lunch room. The carpenter work on the building was done by Ed. Ward and Ad. Sanderson, both of Logans-port. We found Fred.

Taylor here busy by tho side of a meat block cutting and weighing to tho numerous customers, beef, mutton, veal, etc, by tho pound or hundred weight Passing down the street four doors we find Frank English, the jolly, fat blacksmith, ready to shoe a horse or make you a wagon or buggy, and Dr. French, ready to cure the sick, The doctor is not as well pleased ns he should be on account of not enough sickness. But the pure air and the mineral water say unto those that are sick "Come unto me ye who are heavy laden and sick, and I will give you health." Dan Hoof is on a farm out here, busy making hay while the sun shines; West Tippett, an old Noble township farmer, is here, all busy as bees. Frank Com-ingore is here in the Courant office, a new Republican paper which will start about the 27th. He is chief cook.

Having been all over the state, he likes lola the best of them all. There is not a saloon or gambling house in the place, so you can see, we have a moral and religious place here, and when any of the rest of Logans-porters want to join us in the Jay-hawker State, send them this way. Yours, S. F. E.

C. K. lola, September 17, 1883. A general clearing up is now in or der. Fields, fences, yards, buildings and cellars should be cleared of rub bish, and the rubbish burned.

Gather up every tool and pnt it into its place fix wagons and carts, clean and paint them arrange the house for winter and rough weather now that lights have to be carried about tho barns and stables, everything should be fully insured, and a good responsible company selected to insure in fire wood should be prepared and put under shelter, and that family peacemaker, dry fuel, generously supplied and conveniently placed for use where coal is used, a bin under cover, with an opening at the bottom for taking out the fuel easily, will bave trouble and loss. We learn fronuthe Spirit that a petition to the city council is in circulation in Paola, asking that the monthly fine system be adopted regarding those engaged in the liquor traffic. Already about 300, a majority of the voters of the city, representing two-thirds of the taxable and business property of Fa-ola, bave put their names to it. Nearly every business man around the square, and adjacent to it have signed the petition. Our Colony Free Press neighbor pokes considerable fun and some sarcasm at the projected Nebraska Topeka road, which has been "monkeying" along for the past eighteen months between Ft Scott and Garuett.

Wildcat railroad schemes have had their run in Kansas for a season. Col. J. D. Snoddy, of Linn county, was nominated for udgc in the 6th Judicial Distr ict, in the district convention, held at Fort Scott on the 24th ult For the information of the Paola Republican Judge Taleott was not a candidate before the Republican Convention at Chanutc, but is an Independent Candidate for the office of Judge.

STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. Tho following resolutions were adopted at the recent meeting of the State Temperance Union, held at To-peka Jicnolred, 1. That wo reaffirm the declaration of the principles announced by the convention of this union bold last January, at Topcka, 2. That the issuo before us in this State is, shall the will of a majority of the people, as embodied in our constitution iu the prohibition amendment, and in the law to enforce tho same, be carried into effect, or shall the will of tho minority prevail in repudiating both the' constitution nnd the law. 3.

That wo promptly accept the issue forced upon us declaring our belief that under constitutional government nothing can be more hateful than the tyranny of a law defying minority, and our immovable purpose to resist to the uttermost and the last a doctrine which strikes down at one blow the supremacy of law and the sovereignty of the people. 4. That wo will not (lid the election of any person to any office who by word or deed opposes the execution of the laws on our statute book, including tho prohibitory law. 5. That we are in favor of such amendments to the prohibitory law as shall remove from it any features that to its friends may seem unjust in their operations, and we call the attention of the people to the fact that the efforts made in the last legislature to secure such amendments were opposed and defeated by the saloon power.

C. That we' express our severe condemnation of officers, jurors and witnesses who violate their oaths in order to'sheltcr and protect criminals and our hearty approval of the course of those who preserve their personal and official integrity by the discharge of their sworn duty under the law. .7. That the theory of high license, though sincerely held by some, is unsound and it is mainly used as a subterfuge on the part of a minority to defeat the will of the majority, and in the interests of the saloons, and that it is especially odious because it discriminates in favor of the rich and against the poor. 8.

That as the saloons of this State are protected by some city governments so as to provide by specific statute for a summary removal ol all officials who defy the constitution and laws without waiting for the slow process of common law. The following special resolutions were offered by different parties and were also adopted Rcwhcd, That the efficient labor of the president of the Union, A. B. Campbell, to enforce the prohibitory laws of the State, and especially in the city of lopeka, has our hearty approval and thanks and we pledge him our undi vided support and co-operation in the future in all legitimate means necessary to the closing of all the liquor saloons of the State. Resolved, That' this convention do heartity thank James A.

Troutman for his efficient and arduous labors as secretary of this Union. Resolved, That the thanks of this convention are hereby extended to M. V. B. Bennett, for his efficient and gratuitous labors in tho interest of the cause advocated by the State Temperance Union.

Resolved, That this convention urge renewed efforts in the education of public sentiment in behalf of total abstinence and while we use all proper effort to enforce the prohibitory law we also continue the work of moral suasion and to this end we especially commend the of tho Woman's Christian Temperance Union. We will not mar the rejoicings over the completion of a new link in the great railroad chain by contemplating the possibilities of a situation which includes 300,000 miles of railroad with $30,000,000,000 of stocks and bonds and water. The next generation will need a very able bodied race of statesmen to grapple with the railroad question as it will present its self to them. The Wichita Eagle puts it thusly: ''In Kansas and Iowa the saloon men and the liquor interest hold the Republicans responsible for temperance agitation. But who must be held responsible for anti saloon legislation in Missouri, where there is a Democratic majority of And what are the rum-sellers going to do about the prohibition bill just now passed by the Democratic House in T.
