What may not those 48 Oppositicn members accoajplish?

OI IIEI.9 THE iII.DRE. Yes, we have heard that expression from many an orator, read it in many a poem, seen it in many a family re-union. Bat have wondered at its falsity whenever a School examination, Institute or Convention failed to accomplish simply because the tafents of the little ones, and big children, too, failed to attend. Do yen really love your child that child's future Tin prove i t. You spent a full day at the election, several during the canvass, as many at camp meeting; you come to town Saturdays, transact 30 minutes business, and loaf around stores and efSccs all day.

Now, put in one day, yon and mother, consulting for the good of the children. Mr. Carothers has the right idea he don't ask diecussion on the meritp, but on the demerits of the not on its successes, but what must yet be made to succeed to perfect that system.

Further particulars of the fire in the Pete-rton coal-shaft near Osage City, shows a heavy loss of property and narrow escape from loss of life. The fire coming from the bhaft was discovered between 12 and 1 o'clock, Saturday. The ali-vrm set the village wild with excitement. Women and children rushed to the burning shaft and called to their husbands and fathers below. Seventy miners were down the thaft and their lives were of course in great peril.

The fire was yet confined to a small area, but was rapidly spreading and threatened to cut eff every way of escape. The terrible of the moment was such as is seen only when almost certain death threatens loved ones. Two miners were above ground, Thomas Jenkins and Jumes McVey. and it was to their coolness and bravery that the seventy men in the mine owed their lives. These men went to the ventilating shaft, about 250 feet from the main shaft which was on fire, and taking the top off they d-e acended to alarm those who were scattered in the chambers of the mine at work.

The draft down the ventilating shaft was like a whirlwind, and when the men reached the bottom they could hardly btand on their feet, but they started on their perilous underground journey to save the lives of their comrades, Frrm the bottom of the ventilating shaft two chambers branch off, one erst and. the other west. McVey went iu one direction and Jenkins in the other. Through passages less than three feet high, they made their way for hundreds of feet under ground, avoiding fthat part of the main shaft where the fire was. One by one every man in tho mine was warned to make his way quickly to the ventilating shaft, anel the result waa every man escaped unharmed.

There was a great scene of rejoicing when the miners came to the surface in safety. MEMBERS OF KANSAS LEGISLATURE. From tho Topeka Commonwealth.

Terhaps our readers will hardly believe it, but these same persons who have undertaken to bulldoze the Sheriff are the same who, less than a month ago, were crying around like a big booby about the bulldozing they falsfly charged the Republicans with. Hiawatha Dispatch. A gentleman from Padonia township, we think came into our office this week and after asking what Sheriff Young intended doing about the appointment of a Sheriff, announced himself a Republican, and said he had spot considerable time in ridincr about in his neighborhood to get and did get Republicans to sign the petition asking that the appointment alluded to be no! made.

The petitions wli3h Sheriff Young saw fit not to treat with con-tem23t are'still in existence, and can be examined by any parties so desiring. The nana es of Republicans, r', rnback-ers and Democrats are so intermixed therein as to leave it doub ful who did try to "bulldoze" the Sheriff. One gentleman in particular, we can give the name of, and one of the leading oppos-ers of the proposed appointment, is an old Republican and scorns the use of any kind of "spirits." As to the proposed depuf jv we only know this Sheriff Young expected to be absent at various times for the next few months; it was deemed necessary that tho Sheriff, or his deputy, should reside in town the matter was referred to the lawyers of Hiawatha who all except two petitioned for the appointment of J. D. Blair; Sheriff Young was about to'accedetotheir ri qaesi other petitioners, numbering over 150, from differcnt'parts of the county, demurred to the appointment.

In accordance with the defire of so many of Lis fellow citizenp, Mr. Young declined anv further present action in the matter, gave'up his proposed visit and is now regularly attending to his official business in the county. WHY IS IT? There is a peculiar unpopularity attending the Gubernatorial candidates of the Republican party in Kansas. In I87G, when they nominated Geo. T.

Anthony for the first place on his ticket and Mr. Salter for his Lieutenant, the candidate for Lieut. Governor, beat him over J0. 000 votes. This was explained by the quarrel between John A.

and Geo. T. Anthony a family quarrel as bitter and vindictive as any we ever recorded. But what will be tho explanation this year? The Republican candidate for Governor Mr. St.

John ran 4,000 votes behind the candidate for Secretary of State on his own ticket. In this case there was no cousin to tell of family secrets, no cheese contract. What is te secret? Simply tliis The Republican prty put up at public vendue the office of Governor, and their better men axe paid off in the depreciated coin of lesser offices. The people, recognizing true worth, scratched their ti.kets and left off the names of the leaders and cast their partizan votes for the best men. How long will the people of Kansas permit evtch wroDgs to be perpetrated upon them How long permit the leaders of a party to sell the franchise American votes at an auction roit rojjERor.

Tho Williamsburg Herald gives Pcm. et al a dish of goodies, which is not good for Ingalls. The Herald man eays "when J. A. Towle was nominated for Representative in the 28th district, he was approached to promise his tupjrert for Mr.

Ingalls for U. S. Senator; that he flatly refused his support; that then Ingalls waswritten to, and he sent this reply in substance "If you cannot get Towle to himself, se-'ure the pledge of seme other candidate, and I will furnish the means to defeat him Pomeroy will use that this winter. But, then, won't some other feller tell on Pomeroy, too. Ben F.

Akers, a celebrated stock man, died at his home near Lawrence, Kan-sap, on the 19ib. Ben Akers, as he was familliarly termed by those who were intimately acquainted with him, was well known tnroughcut the New West. He established a fitock farm at Leavenworth seme years pgo and afterwards located at Lawrence, where he purchased the Fair grounds and made it famous for pure blooei. His stock was acknowledged to be the purest in the country. A few months ago a slight cold brought gems of consumption which seemed to delight in wooing to its deadly shadow one of the most genial of men.

Realizing the hold the fell destroyer had taken on him, Mr, Akers disposed of his farm and retired from business. He spent a portion of the summer in Colorado, where he hoped to Arrest tho progress of the disease. K. C. Timea.

Heho supposed was a corpse. But the is fifty years old, pretty and vain, I rogue was frightened away from his ghoul -like robbery by the poor wounded They can pre-determine the political status of tho State in 1880. Thev can save Kansas. The question is now definitely settled, by all interested there will be no third party in 1880; indeed, from this timecn the political contest will be between the two old partiep.

The Republicans, with the power and patronage of Government, and the Democrats with the Senate and Lower House of Congress, will hereafter be the only important factions. And their political contests will run closer than ever before in the United States, as well as be far more potent for weal or woe to this country. It behooves every good citizen to lend his aid to the side of conservative etatemanship, to charitable gcntilily in political discussion, but to a stern determination that right shall hereafter rule and wrong never again disgrace the Union. Demagogues or designing politicians may temporarily set up a third party, to it for their selfith aims in working upon the passions or prejudices of tho people. But this can only be the case in certain smaller sections, and even in them, tho better judgement of the masses, now happily awakened and enlightened, will narrowly watch and scrupulously weigh the acts of men in or seeking for office.

In 187 the majority in Kansas of the Republican party in the popular vote was 10,579 over all, when the Opposition was composed of a Democratic, a Granger and a Temperance candidate. In 1878 with 24,000 more votes polled than in 187G the majority in Kansas of the Republican party in the popular vote was 8.G20 ovi all, when the Opposition was composed of Demo-Icrats nr.d Green backers. A falling' off in its popularity with tho people of jnst one-half in two years. Two more ars will bring us to 1S80, when there will be another election. A very little bit of arithmetic will en-jablo almost any body to, "prophecy" in this matter.

Verily, her "redemption draweth nigh." Our political memory only runs back to 1850; but sinco then we distinctly recollect tho Democratic roartv to have been declared "dead" exactly 27 times and forcver dead" precisely 7 times; but cannot, for the life of us remember a sintrle funeral. Now. it is declared by sojier half -wav UDandcroanine "can't you wait till I die?" Just wait, gentlemen, till tho Democratic party dies; then you can have its boots.

In the long pending controversy concerning the largo body of lands claimed both by the Central Branch Union Pa cific Company, and the Kansa3 Pacific Company, which are situated opposite the first one hundred miles of constructed road west of the Missouri river, within and overlapping the twenty miles limits of the two land the Secretary of the Interior decides that the lands situated within the overlapping land grant limits should be held to inure jointly to both companies. In view, however, of the questions arising under the act of July 1, 1SG2, which were discussed in his decibion of the Dudymott case, Secretary Schuiz directs that the subject of transferring the government's title to these lands be reserved for further cojtideiation. Iu the course of Lis decision, Secretary Schuiz says the patent executed March 27, 187G, in favor of the Central Branch Company, for 73,000 acres of disputed land, was rightly cancelled by his predecessor, because it lacked one requisite of transfer of title, name'y, occupancy by the grantee. IK LA MAlYIt'SPOSIIlOS. The Rev.

Gilbert De La Matyr, elect- ed to the forty -sixth Congress as a Greenbacker from the Indianpaolis (Tn diana), district, has been interviewed in Baltimore. Mr. De hi Matyr, it is understood, was formerly a Republican, the following question and answer will be sufficient to show where the Reverend gentleman will stand hereafter. Reporter--In an issue between the two parties, would you permit your record as a Republican, to stand in the way of your voting for tho opposition candidate for President? Mr. De La Matyr I should not with my present convictions a3 to tho disastrous consequences that fed1 owed the financial legislation of the Republican party.

My conscience would compel me to vota with the other side. Mr De La Matyr was aeked if he would name any Democratic candidate who would be acceptable to the Green-backers, and he very jprona fitly named Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana. a ill The following from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat is true except the presumption that Mr.

Pomeroy "will not be a candidate." He is a candidate, has many friends among his peculiar sort of admirers in the Kansas Legislature, has money, and tho other ct ceteras heretofore entering into the composition of such aspirants Kansas will elect a United States Senator in January to succeed Mr. Tngalls. A Senatorial election is always the occasion of a lively time in our sister State. One half the people start in to beat somebody, and the other half to elect somebody. There is no reason why Mr.

Ingalls should not be his own successor, except the fact that Mr. C. Pomeroy is against him on account of old scores. This would not be a good reason anywhere else, but in Kansas it is a potent one, as Mr. Pomeroy has control of a good part of the political machinery of the State.

Ingalls, it will be remembered, was elected six years ago, after that intensely dramatio scene in the Legislature, in which Mr. Pomeroy figured so disadvantageously. Pomeroy now wants to "get even" with Ingalls, and will do so if he can, although we presume he will not be a candidate himself. GccwhiUikcus!

THE RATIONAL ATLAS. C. II. Ferry is now in the ty taking subscriptions for this truly valuable work. T'e have examined some of their maps of States, their plots of cities, climutoiogical and other exhibits of different States and sections ol the Union.

Their plot of Hiawatha is as finely executed and as correct as any we have seen. Besides our own country, Europe. Asia and Africa will be represented in the same quality of maps from the most recent explorations and surveys, and politically mapped in accordance with the recent treaties which have soehanged the political face of those countries. This Atlas will be larger, more extensive and more carefuly arranged thf.n any we have seen. And if the book is as finely executed as the specimens we have seen, it will be a very hanflsome addition to any library.

Indeed, wc cannot see how any public or professional man, merchant or scholar can do without it.
