GRAHAM, it will be subjected to a very liberal construction during the campaign, and that it cannot be enforced because it iwill fall to get the support of high government official. This, of course, remains to be seen. The Morrison resolution for disposing of the surplus in the Treasury passed the House by the overwhelming vote of 207 to 67, party lines not being strictly drawn. The resolution reads as follows: "When, ever the surplus in the Treasury, including amount held for redemption of United States notes, shall exceed the sum of it shall be the duty of the Secretary of tiie Treasury to apply eh excess in sums not less then ten millions per month Mrs. John Hoover returned from Goshen, last week, where the has been visiting for the past year.

contend thatj tolo this, it is not necessary to inconvenience the farmers themselves, and town people as well, by crowdingourmain street with teams. We should have a park or square in which visitors to the city could place their teams and vehicles, but in the absence of this, the side streets is the next best scheme. If we had a little country town, where only a few teams visited, it would be enough, but with THOS OS BORN OFFICERS. F. H.

In tho debate on the surplus, Representative MeKinley of Ohio, was disposed to mingle some fun.

Mor. rison interposed, "and we are getting along only middling at that." Yes you are get. ting them very slowly," said Mr. Me. Kinley, and the Democrats laughed with the Republicans.

Many are wondering what will be the fate of the River ami Harbor bill which lias nearly reached a vote on the Senate, and with which the Senators have been sitting up late into the night hoping to get through with it and thereby hasten the final adjournment. And then they are wondering ivhat will become of it when it gOds back for conference to the House Com. miltee, and again when it comes from conference into the bouse. Congressmen Hatch, of Missouri, Oleomargarine's implacable foe, will not vote for it when incomes back. He said he strained his conscience to vote for it the first time, but his moral courage will stand by him when comes around again.

Senator Vest made a long speech in Which he said lie had had grave and re verend Senators buttonhole liim and say that if they aid not get this or that appropriation put in the bill tin would be beaten in the next election. It was a case of "help me, Cassias, or I sink." Senators had come into the chamber and had their amendments put into the bill, and thej- had then stood up within three feet of Mr Vest, and denounced the whole scheme as a piece of unconstitu tional corruption Combinations has been made on the very floor of the Senate in relation to this bill-The plan was to help me put in my appropriation and I will help you put in yours. He had Senators come to him and say, "Vest, you were right in your argument about the Kentucky river, but I was in the gang and could not leave the procession, I had my part and I had to le somebody else have his part. And it would be so to the end of time. Comissioner Sparks continues his vigorous fight against the land thieves and never stops his hard work to refute the calumnies that are heaped upon him.

The attention and land grabbers should be called to one fact however. The General has issued more land patents since his incumbency than auy previous com-missioner ever passed in the same length of time, and bis have the merit of being honest. While Republican papers are saying that this administration is pre-eminently the enemy of the soldier, they should make a note of the fact that Comissioner Black has issued over one hundred and ten thousand certificates to pensioners since he assumed the duties of his which is ten per cent more than any of his predecessors ever issued in the same length of time. The amount paid for pensions during the fiscal year just ended exceeded that of the previous year by and President Cleveland has signed six pension bills where he has vetoed one. this city.

Mrs. F. C. Bush and daughter Nina departed for Salina, where they will spend the remainder of the summer with relatives. Mrs.

Evans, returned to her home at Hartford, Kas. last Friday. During her stay with Miss. Kellogg, she made many friends who regretted to see her depart. Mrs.

Hubbard and Miss Stillraar. of Killburu, are visiting at Bonesteal's The Graphic oflice was favored with a pleasant call by Mrs. Bonesteai and Miss Stillmaa Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs.

Warren Briggs and son Andrew departed last Jlonday evening for Los Angles, Cab, where they will visit with friends for a short time, and then go to Santa Ana where they will probably locate. T. G. Lane and family left for St. John, last Monday, where Mr.

Lane has opened a book and stationery store. We regretted very much to see Mr. Lane depart, yet wish him every success in his now home and can congratulate the citizens of St John on securing one so well adapted for the business engaged in. Prof. A.

C. Ross, of Osage, Iowa, visited with his brother-in-law, Rev. Woodside, of this city several days last week. Mr. Ross is superintendent of the city schools at that place and also publisher of the Osage News.

He paid his respects to the Graphic office last Saturday and we found him to be a very intelligent and most pleasant gentleman. OBITUARY. DIED Alice McDonough, at 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning, July 20, Itoti, at the home of her sister, Mrs. John J. Both well.

Alice McDonough was born Feb'y 10th 1830, in Perry county, Ohio. In her ninth year her parents moved to Iowa, where they still live. Alice spent the winter here with her sister a few years ago and came again in August of last year, and taught sch ool for the second in the Eraser district. Possessing a bright intellect, a cheerful disposition and a woman's heart, she had become thoroughly popular with her many acquaintances. Her presence was always felt, her influence was always for good.

Less than two years in all a resident of this vicinity, and the number, of her admiring friends was equal to the number of her acquaintainees, which was by no means small. How numerous the hearts to whom sadness will be brought in the home of her childhood. She died with full christian faith, calmly anticipating the ciuland gayc full directions as to her funeral. Rev. Woodside conducted the services at residence of Mr.

Bothwell Tuesday afternoon. A few words well spoken by Rev. Church and Rev. Dr. Lackey.

A large number of friends were present. The casket was decorated with flowers an evergreens, beautiful and emblematical. A rem irkably large procession followed the remains to the even ing train upon which the corpse was to be placed to be taken to her parents home in Iowa, accompanied by her mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.

During our peregrinations throiigh a certain Kansas metropolis, we have frequently been regaled, (as the gentle south wind breathed upon us.) by strong suspicions of sewer-gas. The city has none of these subterranean passages for the removal of filth, and we at last have traced those unpleasant armoas to their source, namely, the garbage reccp.

tides, we call alleys. Webster defines ati alley as being "A strip of ground twenty feet wide, running-north and south through the center of each block in the afore-nientioned city, and bounded on the east and west by assorted sizes of stable doors, pigpens, ash heaps? and manure piles, while here and there," "Like guns within whose crystal walls. The rainbow's colors gleam." Tin cans lie scintillating gor. geously, as old Sol. "Unwinking, unblinking, from his quiver o1" ire.

Like a desolute besom the alley swcop3 With his arrows of fire." Webster took these little poetical effusions from that soul stirring song, "The sword of Bunker Hill." These alleys are usualy pervaded by a fragrance we hesitate to call night blooming ecrus although it is allied to that plant species, judging from the serious sensation produced in ones olfactory organs.

AIAyht i'ote Ctist and the Ponds Defeated El jilt Votes. Last Thursday an election was held for the purpose of voting $0,000 bonds for a city building, and for some reason, little interest was manifested there being only 264 votes cast. The vote stood as follows. Against the lionils ViG For the Bond li Majority Against 8 This was a strange election, and many who voted against the proposition on that day, now regret the course they took, and are anxious that another election should be held, as they seem to realize that a city building is an actual necessity. We believe that if the question was put to vote again it would carry by a good majority.

There were -many who did not really understand question, and were not informed as to "what the term "city implied. It was a bad move on the part of our citizens to permit this proposition to be defeated, as it will prove a bad advertisement for the town, and tend to discourage the people to a considerable extent. The GitAPnie does not sanction any reckless expenditure of public funds, but it is heartily in favor of this proposition, as it believes it is to the interest of Peabody and her citizens that it should carry. We need a building for our hose cart and hook and ladders. We need some place where we can lock np city prisoners without a guard.

We need a council room, without paying rent. We need a city clerks oilice. We need a police magistrates office. We need some place to keep the city tools, etc. All these wants could have been supplied with a city building, and if the proposition was again placed before the people it would receive a good round majority.

The people need this building, and if given another opportunity, will have it. Let us vote again. W. H. ELLETT.

Last Tuesday evening we took a ride out to Jake Weidlein's farm situated about a mile west of town. Kansas is noted for enterprise, energy and magnificent places, but we believe that Jake has one of the most complete and conveniently arranged places for raising stock we have ever seen.

His yards are so arranged that communication can be easily had from one to another, with ease, and on every hand sheds are placed, insuring shelter for the hot suns of summer and cold winds of winter. The facilities for feeding and watering are the best, and demonstrates what system will io for a farmer as well as any business man. II has cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, and calves in great numbers, and it is a pretty sight to see them in their respective lots, eagerly seeking their evening meal. A few Here-fords attracted our special attention, as to their beauty and general fine appearance. He has one bull and -young cow lately purchased that are fine looking animals, the former hav- ing taken fiirst premium in St Louis and Uie latter at St.

iwL.1.1 OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. rom our special correspondent. Nothing has attracted more attention for some time probably than the President's latest order admonishinsr all Federal office holders to take no active part in politic-dining the coming campaign. The principle which he desires to impress upon the heads of Departments and tiieir snbordin. ates is that politi cal action should be kept free from official coercion, lie does nof ask them to abstain from politics, but he diaws nice lines of distinction.

They are not to misuse their offices for partsian ends. The order created quite a surprise at th Capital on Thursday, but our lawmaker, were so busily engaged in the pressing duties of legislation that there was not much discussion of the subject. There are but few Democrats who do not sustain the President's ideas, if public expressions be a criterion. They say it is in accordance with Mr. Cleveland's previous position and demonstrates his Many of the Rapubliciu Senators even give the President credit for sincerity, but they express faithlessness in the power of order to change the situation.
