When the nation stood between two opinions as to the acceptance of black men to fight her battles, tltey stood only waiting to be officially called. Loyal in every circumstance and in every way.

When the nation, after. much consulta tion, had decided the momentous ques tion and put into their hands the burnished arms of our government, they never faltered, they never disgraced or proved false to a single trust. Look at Wagoner and Pillow! Can the nation ever forget the heroic deeds of Col. Shaw? Can they ever forget the brave black men who fell- him? Echo answers not. Having been one of the defenders of the Union, we see them now upon the parapets of Pillow, Wagoner, Petersburg, Coal Harbor and many other bloody fields of the late internecine struggle.

Two hundred and fifty thousand black men in the late war for the union could not, cannot and must not be overlooked by the people of our reunited country. Leaving the bloody conflict of which we all have such vivid recollections we have only to turn the pages of history, ami fhprn wa find that if. Was a black man, Crispus Attuckeiio spilt the first blood; and offered up bis life, that the soil of Massachusetts might not be tar nished by British intrusion. Consequently, the Grand Army of the Republic and the good people of Topeka and the great State of Kansas, give them a hearty welcome and a god speed upon their entree to our beautiful capital. Capt.

On December 26th, 1862, he was commissioned by Gov. Richard Gates, of Illinois, second lieutenant of his company for brave and meritorious service rendered on the field at Pittsburg Landing, which his commission as lieutenant shows, it be ing printed thereon in bright red letters. He served until the close of the war, and was mustered out of the service as captain. His record as an officer and a soldier is a no ble one, of which the captain may well feel proud. He is now a member of tha law firm of Webb, Johnson Ryan, the leading law firm of Kansas.

His residence in Kansas dates back about fifteen years and since then he has been elected to and filled several im portant positions.

For many of us, and we know not who shall have to answer to the long roll call ere such an event again returns, in parting we can best express our feelings and recollections by quoting the following from Moore: Farewell, and whenever you welcome the hour. That awakens the night song of mirth in your oower, Then think of the friends who once welcomed it, too, And forgot their own griefs to be happy with you. -Let Fate do her worst; there are relics of lov.

A. R. met last night in Repre sentative Hall with tho Department Commander, Capt J. C. Walkinshaw in the chair.

All the department officers were present, A large number of Old Veterans were mustered in and it was a grand scene and hugely enjoyey by the old warriors present. The Grand Army of the Republic and more especially the Grand encampment is one of the grandest societies on the American continent, into which only those tried by the fire of battle, can enter. Fraternity, charity and loyalty its motto. Three of the grandest qualifications that an American citizen can boast of. The encampment was highly entertained by Commander Walkinshaw and his elegant little lady daughter, Miss Lillie Walkinshaw Capt.

J. C. Walkinshaw deserves great credit for his perseverence and zeal in oenaii ot the u. A. but for rum tbe organization would lack life in Kansas.

Bv order of the Committee of Arrangements. H. W. Rory, Chairman. Kansas, The State of Kansas is an undulating plain, situated in tbe geographical center of the United btates, and which has, on account of its central location, its extremely fertile soil, its abundant, natural and cheap pasturage lor stock, its rich deposits of coal and salt, as well as other minerals, and its ready means of communication, giving a market West, East, South and North, the very finest prospects for a splendid future.

What the state is destined to be, we can in a measure eather from the past. In 1854 the first white settlements of any importance was made in 1860 there was a population of 107,206 in 1870 we had 864,134 inhabitants, which number increased to 592,917 in 1876, and swelled to 995,335 when the United States census was taken, June 1, 1880. Such growth of population has no parallel in the" history of civilization, and when we consider that Kansas has a very small portion only of illiterate people, while there are many scholars, churches and schools multiplying everywhere with astonishing rapidity, we must come to the conclusion that this wonderful increase of material welfare in Kansas is the result of an intelligent people's investigation and approval of our natural resources. John Greif, at 155 Kausas avenue, has one of the most extensive cigar factories in the west. He also has a retail store connected with his establishment, where you can get Havana cigars, tobaccos and smokers' articles generally.

He has tha boss cent cigar in tha aity and ia a re liable PERSONAL. Capt. H. A. Needhara deeorves credit for his efficient and valuable service in uniforming the G.

T. A. Osborn, U. S. Minister to Brazil and the mostjnsible, if not the best Governor that Kansas ever had, is with us to-day.

Tom, we welcome you home. Shake! Hon. A. II. Vance, County Attorney of Shawnee county, is one of the most able and vigilant prosecuting attorneys in Kansas.

He deserves great credit as a faithful officer. T. J. Hayes, the popular proprie tor of the Capital Hotel, and one of the best and most generous landlords that lives, enlisted as private in the 114th unio, at tne age oi seventeen, lie ts a suffering invalid from his service. Capt.

J. C. Walkinshaw, Department Commander of the G. A. and his bright and promising little daughter, Miss Lillie, arrived in the city last night and will have charge of the G.

A. R. to day. Miss Lillie is a daughter of the g. r.

We regret that. that grand old hero, or the "Lion of tbe Frontier" as he wbb familiarly called, Col. Thomas Moonlight is not with us He is at present a candidate for Sheriff of Leavenworth county and we presume is devoting his whole attention to that. Notwithstand' ing, Tom, we don't forget. Hon.

T. C. Henry, the president and manager of the State Fair, cannot be too highly laudated for the ability, zeal and untiring energy in successfully managing the State Fair. We look upon Mr. Hen ry as one of the brightest, keenest and truest men to-day in Kansas.

He de serves the thanks of Kansas for having made the State Fair a grand success. Maj. T. J. Anderson deserves the thanks of every person in Topeka and Kansas, and more especially the old soldiers, for his great labor and originality in getting up and perfecting (he-holding of our Re union.

To him is largely due the credit of the success of our State Fair, which is a grand success. The Major was a brave and good soldier, and is oae of the most valuable and deserving in Kansas. Topeka. ToDeka is the Canital Citv of the State of Kansas, situated in a beautiful location on both banks of the "raging Kaw," wluch river is here spanned by two sub-stantiai bridges. The location of the town is very picturesque, and has advan tages or climate, xiealthtulness, railroad facilities (both present and prospective), and everything that helps to attract thither those who are in search of homes or remjinerative activity.

Here is the ho'int of intersection of the two most prominent Kansas rail roads-the A. T. S. F. R.

R. and the P. R. R. (now called U.

R. which have done so much to develop the re sources of the state, and to bring here the home seekers from all parts ot the Globe. In consequence of this fact, every Kansan considers Topeka as the commercial and railroad center of the state, as well as the political point ot eravitv. In 1878 our city had barely 9.000 in habitants, while to-day she can boast of an increase so rapid as to author ize the belief, that before another census we will have to enumerate. Already the growth this year, with fully 5,000 souls is assured by new enterprises now started, among which is the erection by the greatest railroad in the world, of two hundred thousand dollars worth of additional shops.

The citv of Topeka is decidedly metro politan in her make-up. Here we find the German with his "lurn-Verein" and his love of music and social life both well cultivated. Here is the Frenchman in numbers sufficient to get up a celebra tion of Napoleon's Day. Here are the Americans from every State in the Un ion, strong enough to have clubs and as sociations. In the city and surrounding country, schools are of a high order, and churches are so plentiful that every sect is repre sented, and each nationality has preach ing in its own language.

For the working man our city offers the very best opportunities. The A. T. S. F.

R. has the largest car machine shops west of the Mississippi; there are three foundries, a distillery, three brew eries, a starch factory just building and other industrial establishments too nu merous to mention. Three new railroads, just now deter mined to reach Topeka before another year, will also contribute largely to make our city a metropolis in the most ex tended sense of the word.
