WICHITA, KANSAS, FEB. 14, 1884.

. FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.

Dr. E. B. Allen, o! Wichita, well knownIn Tppeka, is on a visit here. He was amember or the Legislature In 1873, and in1882. He is being talked of a good deal asa candidate on the Republican ticket forSecretary of State. CmmmuttalU.

The eminent fitness of Dr.E. B. Allen forthe position with which the. Commonwealthbai connected his came, has often been can-vassed among his rrienda in this section ofthe State, who, we may observe are unani-mously for him, as we believe would be theSouthwest "generally. As to Sedgwickcounty, no man could command a morehearty, sincere ormore unanimous endorse-ment, than Dr. Allen lor whatever bemight in a political way ask. In everypublic position to which be has been elected he has not only fully met the expecta.tions of his more intimite friends, but thatof all the people. I nail his legislative ex-perience and work he has never made amistake, betrayed his principles or neglected tue Interests ol his constituents. liewould mako a very popular State officer.As to his competency and fitness for tbe position ot Secretary or Slate no one willquestion. Ills acquaintance is State wide.Or his claims, cr of the claims ol the Southwest we shall say nothing, as these thingsgenerally count for little, although it wouldseem to be the nice thing for the Republi-can party to concede such a position to thelargest city in the Southwest, and to a sec-tion whose political and commercial impor-tance is second to none. As for Sedgwickcounty and Wichita, the Republicans willgo up to the State convention enthusiasticfor Dr. E. B.AlUu for Secretary of State,unices tbe doctor himself should interposean objection, and it would have to be astrong one.

REJUVENATED.

Kewt McDonald, or Burlingamc, was Inthe city yesterday. He has purchased theChronicle of that place, and consolidated itwith his own paper, the Herald. TheChronicle was the first paper published inOsage county, being started by M. 21. Mur-doc-

We remember when it was firststarted, and it looked then like a wildscheme. One mii't go back to that time torealize the stride Kansas has taken. Attkattluic there was no Osage City, Carbon-dal- e

orLydon. Commonwealth.Mr. McDonald U an exceptionally fine

newspaper man. He has sufficiently dem-

onstrated the fact in so successfully run-

ning a third paper in a town of less thantwo thousand inhabitants, and in a countywhere seven or eight other papers ate pub-

lished. He has not 'only a nose lor news,but a brain for business and a hand lorhelp. While he might cultivate a largercharity for the weaknesses and foibles ofthe'many, bis best impulses arc for the un-

der dog and no dignitary can "fret down onhim." Uoder bis conduct we expect tosee the Chronicle regain its place among therecognized inCuential papers of the State.To the old patrons or the paper the Chron-

icle will scera more like itself than for alongtime, and the honor of printing theleading paper or the county will be strong-ly contested with that Osage City corpora-tion ot which Jake Admire stands the ac-

knowledged head. If there Is anybody inBurlingamc, or vicinity, who don't likeNewt McDonald they had better think bet-

ter or it (cr Intcrest's-sake- , for if properlysupported be will make the Chronicle a pow-er for great good to their town and county.

OHIO'S FLOOD.

The most disastrous flood ever known hasbeen sweeping down the Ohio river for tendays past. A hundred cities and towns, In-

cluding Cincinnati, are at this writing un-

der water, and millions upon millions ofproperty has been destroyed or swept away.At Cincinnati the river has been G5J feet Inthe channel. Congress has been called up-on for aid, and a bill was recommended yes-terday granting 300,000. No such floodwas ever seen surpaieing that of 1817.

Houses by the hundreds have been sweptaway and many people drowned. For adistance or TOO miles along its banks thecry or distress can be heard. The flood isexpected to do great damage on the lowerMississippi.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.

After a month or balloting and seemingboy's play on the part or the State oCcers,the executive council last Friday succeed-ed in electing a successor to Major Hopkinsin the person of Almerin Gillett, a lawyerof Emporia. Gillett is a number one manfor the place, competent in every particularand one who cannot be swevcrcd from hisconvictions or judgment. He lias been aState Senator and was talked of as a proba-ble candidate next fall against Byan. Hewas not a candidate for commissioner, andhis election took him by as much surpriseas it did the balance or the State. TheEmporli JVViri says or him:

"We believe this action on the part orthe council cannot fail to give very generalsatisfaction to the people or Kansas. Mr.Gillett is a lawyer or exceedingly finishedattainments, and we doubt if his knowledge of constitutional law is excelled byany attorney in the State. His very extensive practice in cases in which the railroadshave been involved has rendered him famil-

iar with those problems which will be constantly coming up for consideration beforethe board, and hie judicial cast of mindwill fit him in a peculiar manner for arriv-ing at decisions where such varied andcomplex interests are concerned.

"The unquestioned integrity or Mr. Gil-

lett is a sufficient warrant that all cases up-

on which he shall be called to pass will bejudged upon their merits, and after an hon-

est and impartial investigation of the factsin connection therewith. The citizens ofEmporia will feel honored by the selectionof such a worthy citizen ol. this place to fill

to important trust, and we can assure thethe cxecuthc council that time will abun-

dant); vindicate their wisdom in selectingas a succetsor to Major Hopkins a gentle-man who will do honor to the clean recordor bis distinguished predecessor.

RAILROAD RATES.

Not a few are convinced that the railroadcommissioners in fixing rates lor the SantaFe went too far. In trying to satisfy a classof small grumblers, a much more impor-tant class of faultfinders were made. Notonly that, but the more Important commer-cial points along the line or tbe road aredoubtful of the result as touching theirtrade and prosperity. Tbe strongest paperwo have seen upon the subject comes froma committee appointed by the TcpekaBoard of Trade, consisting or bankers andshippers, whtf, after several days spent ingiving tbe decision and its bearings on tbeinterests or that town, very strongly pro-

test against the rates fixed by the commis-

sioners as being Injurious to tbe greater in-

terests of the people, although relieving ina few small specified cases. While tbo peo-

ple, through the legislature, asked for re-

lief, they want It to be genuine and equit-able to both the shippers aud to the rail-roa-

to the commercial as well as produc-ing interests of tbe State or Kansas.

As we said last week, while there Is a de-

mand for railway legislation, it Is a greatproblem which will have to be approachedcautiously and dealt with wisely.

Marsh Murdock is for Sherman fur president and for II. C. Slurs for any thing that!be can get, first, last and all the time. Em-

poria Airtri.Judge Slass is just where we long desired

to see htm. That he will disappoint hismost ardent admirers, no one dreams. Asfor Shermen, when we get him fairly set-

tled down in bis march for the while houseno louder mouth in his praise will be foundin the entire country than tbe yawptr or

tbe Xtat. &

Sol. Miller, of the Troy Chief, who is therecognized authority on "ground-ho- g day,"aays:

"Ground-ho- g dsy was warm, bright andspring-lik- A ground-bo- g that was notblind, could not bare failed to see his shad-

ow. Ground-hog'- s day, 1860, was preciselysuch a day, and instead of six: more weeksof winter, spring continued on from thatday without even a single frost to do anydamage. Uut that summer witnessed theworst drouth ever known In Kansas."

The New York Graphic shoots mightyclose to tbe bull's eye when it says of tbesoutherners who are finding fault withFrederick Douglass for marrying a whitewoman : "Tbe hypocrisy of a people thatfor generations kept thousands of coloredwomen in forced concubinage with theirwoite masters,, and now holds up its handsin koly horror over tbe lawful marriage ofone of tbe product of such relations with

white lady, is bencutli contempt."

TO THE IMLINGENESIS MAN.Ukii to tho poet, Marsh 1

I grieve that by tongue so harshHis praise must be sungFor the poetry he's brung.

"Egpy t and Africa fade,"Shakespeare becomes but a shad- e-Milton and Byron are robbed of fame,And even Wirt Walton is covered with

shame.

O, Marsh! why hast thou silent been,When thou coulds't give such heavenly chlnfThrough all the wassail losel years,Why bast thou spared our smiles and tears

Also cur cheers?

O, poet grand and editorial,More blithe and Iree than song of any oriole,Ho w near to nature comes thy tender strain,flow fraught with wearying ecossaise pain.

O, poet of such twistic, mystic, incantations,When shall we hear again thy peroration?When bear again thy lustrical evanescent

lay.So like the wild goose scream and gentle

donkeys bray,From out the vast remoteness.

THE FRANKFORT MURDER.

A terrible murder was committed atFrankfort, the county seat of Marshallcounty, Kansas, last Friday. John Penning-ton and wife were found dead. Tbe evi-

dence shows that the murderer was a trampwho had been hired by l'ennlngton. Thedispatch says :

Never in the history or Marshall countywas there such a diabolical deed perpetrat-ed. Tbe body of the murdered man wasfouud lying in tbe barn, near a com shel-ter, where he had been at work, with bul-let holes in his head, while his wile, whobad evidently come to his rescue,after hear-ing the ratal shots, was discovered lying ina mangled heap some thirty miles awayfrom her husband, In a dirty and dilapidat-ed cow shed. The ghoul shot her in tbeface, aud as that did not kill he slezed aspade and beat her brains out, and thendragged her to the shed wher she wasfound with her clothing torn to shred) andspattered with her own brains and blood.The excitement is growing more and moreintense. Over five hundred determinedmen are cow at the scene of the tragedy,and others are scouring the country insearch of tbe assassin. Few threats aremade, but it is certain that if the murdereris captured Judgu Lynch will officiate.

A reward or ?1.500 has been offered$500 by the State, $500 by the county, and

500 by tbe citizens or Frankrort for biscapture.

RETIREMENT OF GEN. SHERMAN.

Washington, Feb. 8. The president to-

day Issued tbe following order announcingtbe retirement of General Sherman :

Gen. Win. T. Sherman, general of tbearmy, having this (hy reached tbe age ofsixty-fou- r years, is, in accordance with tbelaw, placed upon tbe retired list of tbearmy, without restriction of pay and allow-

ances. This announcement of the sever-

ance from the command ol tbe army of onewho has besn for so many years its distin-guished chief, can but awaken in theminds, not only of tbe army but ol the peo-

ple of the United States, mingled emotionsof regret and gratitude ; regret at tbe with-

drawal from active military service of anofficer wbose lofty sense of duty hss been amodel for all aoUers since be first enteredtbe army in January, 1840, and gratitudefreshly awakened for bis services ol incalculable value rendered by him in the warfor the union, and where bis great militarygenius and daring did so much to end tbatstruggle.

The president deems this a fitting occasion to give expression in this manner tothe gratitude felt towards General Shermanby bis fellow citizens, and to express thehope that Providence will grant bim manyyears of health and happiness in relief fromthe active duties of the profession.

Signed Chester A. Arthur.A SWEEPING MEASURE.

Judge Peters has introduced into thebouse tbe most radical, positive and un-

qualified bill for tbe regulation of labor,transportation and transmission questionthat has, we believe, yet been presented toCongress. No Democratic member hasprepared so sweeping a measure to controlInter-stat- e commerce, and while it standsno chance of adoption by tbe. present Con-

gress, It puts the judge's record far in ad-

vance of all competition.Emporia Republican.

Kot the least interesting of items tbatcomes under our notice this week Is onefrom an Illinois exchange, "Which says

car loads of Kansas corn havebeen received at Geueseo, Henry county,and that some thirteen cars more will breceived iu a'few weeks."

C0WSKIN SOCIETY' STILL FLOATS.

To the Editor of thtatU rOn Friday evening, February first, Mr.

and Mrs. C. B. Campbell gave a receptionand' grand ball at their residence on tbeCowskin, which for magnificence in scaleandfperfcctlon in detail ot arrangement,for the entertainment and gratification ofthe guests inyited, was certainly the acmeof a scries of similar parties that have beengiven In this neighborhood this winter andwas participated in by the very cream andbon ton of Cowskin society.. The house itone or the few country residences i'n whicha large party can be successfully given, andMr. and Mrs. Campbell (who, by the way,arc adepts in the business) had spared nopains in transforming its various compart-ments Into dancing ball, dining and recep-tion rooms, until at half-pa- seven o'clock,when tbe chandeliers were.lit and the high-ly polizhed base-burn- er tent forth it ruddyglow upon the rich Turkey carrpetings andcostly damask and carefully and tastefullyarranged c, a complete metamor-phosis had taken place and the comfortablefarm house was transformed Into the societymansion. About this time Mr. Campbellannounced that,.this being leap year thegeneral order of things would be reversed,and the ladies would take charge. Atwhich, "one of the boys" (I believe thesage of Glen-Mary- ), remarked that thatwould simply be a rehearsal ol every-da- y

lire, for which be was gracefully and meek-ly led to the ball-roo- by one or Con-skin'-s

fairest daughters, and whirled around in the"mazy dance" till his head was so befuzzedthat he said he could not tell the differencebetween an article on protective tariff anda railroad commissioner's report, About 10o'clock we heard the joyful sound of "comeup still higher," and the company were in-

vited to an upper ball and seated at a table.that literally groaned under the weight ofthe milk and honey of this proud land, heap-ed upon it for the satisfaction of the wantsol the "outer man."

For princely entertainment in tho culina-ry line commend us to tables under chargeof Mrs. Campbell. So well was tbe dancingenjoyed that tbe hall was not vacated evenduringsuppertime. Jllssllerringof Wich-ita was the organist or the evening and wasassisted by the Cowskin Glee Club Messrs.King, Razey and Featheroff. The gentswere of all ages, corresponding almost totho "poets! five stages in Hie," except thelast one.

To see McDonald with tbs gout, and Razey with the rheumatism, and Campbellwith corns on his feet till be walked like adude, and Martinson with a crick in bisback till be looked like the boy In Pilgrim'.Progress who suffered, from eating greenfruit, and Featheroff with his spectacle casein his pocket and his staff carefully set awaybehind the door, and Kcnyon without atooth in his bead and his hair and whiskersas grey as a Chicago wharf rat, to see theseaged boys swinging girls in their teens,

doing" tho German, and talking about"love's young dream," would make a fitpicture for a patentmedicino advertisementfor "bile on the stomach" ; a frontispiecefor Day'e Doingi, or a subject for criticismin Texas Siftingt, or Peck's Bad Boy.

Spaco forbids an Important feature in thisarticle, tbe ladies' costumes. Suffice It tosay they were dressed with tbe usual goodtaste ol the time and place, and in such har-

mony as scarce to be noticeable bow theywere dressed. There were about fortycouples present, and the dancing was keptup to the "wee ema' hours," when the company took leave of their worthy host andhostess, wishing tbem much future bliss,and In tbe terse but expressive sentimentsof Rip Van Wincle that they might "livelong, and die happy."

A SURPRISE PARTY.

Gypsum, February 8, 1881.To the Editor of the Eagle :

While tbe young people of the cast endare making the long winter evenings asmerry as possible with parties and oystersuppers, the old folks arc almost as busymaking surprise calls upon each other. LastWednesday a surprise dinner, was given toMr. and Mrs. James O. Alexander at theirresidence which was a surprise, Indeed, asMr. and Mrs. A. knew nothing of the mat-

ter until about forty-fiv- e persons came inupon tbem with baskets well filled, tookpossession of the fort and prepared a din-

ner that would have done justice to a mucholder country than this. Feasting, musicand Jollity were the order or the day, andold and young seemed to try to make theoccasion as agreeable as possible. The children and grandchildren or tbe host andhostess were all present, and a genuinefriandlyfeelingprevalied. "Would that suchoccasions were held oftcner, that the goodpeople of our county might become betteracquainted.

SHERMAN'S FIRST VIEW.

Cleveland, Feb. 8. Senator Shermanhas written a letter to the Iron Trade Jit-tie- u

upon the movement originating hereand culminating in an organization In NewYork of an association ot capitalists to se-

cure reciprocity with Canada in the matter of tbe reduction of the duty on coal andiron ore. lie wrote that the subject ol thetreaty of recciprocity with Canada in re-

spect to coal and iron had not been broughtto his attention, but bis first view Is entire-ly against such a treaty. We have plentyof coal and iron ore in this country nowprotected by a comparatively low rate ofduty, and he sees no reason to disturb It.Indeed the whole protective system is nowin more danger from its lriends tban its en-

emies. Tbe manufacturing Interests arebeginning to regard coal, iron ore,pig iron,wool and other articles of domestic produc-tion as raw articles not to be protected byduties. If these new doctrines should geta foothold tbey would destroy the wholeprotective policy of tbo government. Therule of protection must extend to all laboralike to the labor of tbe farmer In producing wool, to tbe labor of the miner in dig-

ging coal; and If it is denied to the farmerand miner It cannot justly be maintainedIn favor of tbe manufacturers. It is labortbat is to be protected and not capital. Itis indeed more important to develop tbenatural resources of tbe country in the pro-

duction, mining and manufacture of sucharticles as wool, iron and coal, tban to pro-

tect higher forms of production wherecheap labor is indes ensable.

Atchison Is worse torn up tban ever overtbe liquor question. Alayor liurnes recom-

mended the passage of an ordinance similarto one once In force in Topeka, to license

tbe sale of "mineral water and otherdrinks," and when it was passed he chang-ed bis mind and vetoed it, and tbe council

sustained the veto. Tho Patriot intimatestbat the closing of the saloons will bankrupt and depopulate Atcblson,but It won't,although, undoubtedly, the whisky trade,when driven out of Atchison, will become

the nucleus for quite a rattle a rattle-dow-

drunken hole of a town at the other end of

the bridge In Missouri.

District court adjourned Friday, we be-

lieve with a clean docket. This closes

Judge SIuss' first term ol court and we

have yet to bear a single word against thejudge or tho man. On the contrary lawyers.Jurors, witnesses, plaintiffs and defendantsjoin in commendation of bis deliberate andhonest rulings and just judgment, muss ita clean man and, we say it with no desireto flatter and no reason for it, will be foundto have made a brilliant record as tbe yearsgo by, and one tbat will claim for him tberespect and honor of all.

Tbe Topeka Commonwealth says tbat aletter from Noble L. FreotU authorizes itto state that be has not been, nor will notunder any circumstances, be a candidatefor secretary of State at tbe next Republi-

can State convention.

The general conference of tbe MethodistEpiscopal Church will be held at Philadel-phia in May next. Three new bishops willbe elected, and one of those most prominently mentioned is Dr. J. M.
