The wheat harvest has alieddy begun
in the Southern counties of the State and
the yield is estimated at from twenty to
forty bushels er acre.
Gen". Sueiuiav, according to rumor,
gets $00,000 for his boot of "Memoirs,"
and the publisher is highly delighted
with the row it has kicked tip.
Wheat is now taken from Chioago to
New York for 10$ cents per bushel, or

The Atchison Champion is printed on
paper manufactured in Kansas, having
received an invoice last week from the
new paper mill at Blue Rapids. The
paper is of a good quality.
Persons bringing suits for libels
arc becoming more succcsful. In the
suit of W. D. Moore vs. the Pittsburgh
Post the Court last week gave a verdict
of $10,000 damages for the plaintiff.
Is Mexico the government recently
closed one of its postoffices because it
could not find a postmaster. Don't
think postofficcs in the United States
will ever be closed on that account.
Last Thursday being the centennial
of Hunker Hill, the Kansas City Jurnal
of Commerce published a full historical
sketch, with engravings. An enterprise
of which that paper may justly feel
proud.
Rct one honorary degree was conferred
by the regents of the State University
this year, and that was the degree nf Doc
tor of Laws, which was bestowed upon
the Rt. Rev. Thomas H. Vail, Bishop of
the Diocese nf Kansas.
The Black Hills raiders who were cap
tured by the military and thus thwarted
in their gold-seeking movements, have
brought suit against tho government of
ficers who destroyed their property.
They claim $22,000 damages.
The compliments recently paid to Carl
Schurz. at Berlin, by members of the
Diet, Professors of their University and
American residents must be very grati
fying, especially to a man who was forced
to fly from Germany for treason.
Last week the Republicans of Califor
nia nominated a State ticket and an
nounced their principles. The campaign
has fairly opened in several of the
Suites, and it won't be Ions until we will
hear something more about "that tidal
wave."
Tun City of New York has recently
bnilded two public baths and thrown
them open to the public and on the first
d.iy they were opened for use one of them
was visited by 8,000 boys and men.
These baths will doubtless prove a great
public blessing.
Stilt, some trouble with the Indians
on the frontier. Lieut. Kingsberry of
the sixth Regiment of U. S. Cavalry, ac
companied with sixty men and two
6couti, is out looking after thieving
bands of Indians with orders to shoot
them wherever he finds them.
MottE specie for circulation. A party
of divers have recovered the iron safe of
the United States Man-of-War, Camber
land, which the rebel ram Virginia sunk
in Hampton Roads in 18G2. For thir
teen years divers have made repeated ef
forts to find this safe. It is supposed to
contain about $100,000 in gold.
In Iowa the Bourbon Democrats, the
"Anti-Monops" and the Liberal Repub
licans have issued a call for a State con
vention for the purpose of nominating an
"opposition" ticket. The desire for office
must be strong to unite these discordant
elements. Barnum never had a happy
family to be compared to this.
The American Rifle Team has reached
Ireland in safety. They received a warm
welcome. The former contest between
the American and Irish teams was so
close that the approaching match is
awaited with much interest. The Amer

as feeling confident of again being licto-
jious.

oil, benzine .and tar to the. amount of
$150000. The engines were sent out
fronx Pittsburgh and after a hard fight
witbube fire they succeeded- in getting

It is quite probable that the question
Of restoring the President' salary to the
old aura of $25,000 a year will be'agitat
edon the election next year. We don't
think 150,000 any too much, but as the
.office j sought more for tli honor than
the pay, we believe if the peopte have the
opportunity to expres"ftn opjnjoji n this
subject they will bay cut ft 4qvb.
The twentyfirst annirersary of the
city of Leavenworth was celebrated by
its citizens last Monday evenine. Sam
uel D. Leconipte made the oration and
R. R. Revirs read a poem. After re
freshment there were numerous toasts
and responses, and the whole affair was
highly creditable to the inhabitants of
this metropolis of the Missouri Valley, as
they oall their city.
Is the Connecticut House of Repre
sentatives the constitutional amendment
providing foi biennial elections for fall
and winter sessions of tho Legislature
ira.i passed by a vote of 227 to 7. Sensi
ble. We think the people of Kansas will
vote in about that proportion next fall
in this State in f.ior of the constitution
al amendment providing for biennial sea
Kionsofthc Legislature.
The tenth of this month was fixed by
the Second Advcntists in New York for
the general bustification of every thing
terrestrial. This ascension business is
getting stale and has always been ludi
crous. The proper thing for Adventists,
as for others, is to make preparations for
correct living, their departure from this
world and the final winding up of affairs
will take place without any trouble
on their part.
Dispatches from the border between
Texas and Mexico represent a very un
fcatisfactory state of affairs. Jn Western
Texas the stock is very muh scattered,
herders fearing to give them proper atten
tion on account of the Mexican raiders.
News from Jlexico represents a revolu
tionary spirit as prevailing. Already
one.or two skirmishes have occurred, in
which several Mexicans were killed, and
further trouble is anticipated.
The Topefca Commonwealth of the 10th
inst. published in full the address deliv
ered before the Agricultural College at
Manhattan, May 2Cth, by Noble L. Pren
tis. This address, like Mr. Prentis'
writings, is bright, sparkling and full of
life, very suggestive and practical. It
places its author in the front rank among
the orators of Kansas. The Kansas Edi
torial Association have undoubtedly se
lected the right man to make their an
nual address at their meetjng in the cen
tennial year.
The centennial celebrations arc doing
much toward bringing the people of the
North and South to a better understand
ing of each other and into more friendly
relations. On the Ujth and 16th inst.
military bodies, from the South as well
as the North, arriving at Boston for the
purpose of participating in the Bunker
Hill centennial were received with great
enthusiasm. It is certainly encouraging
to hear of ex-Confederate officers and
soldiers visiting a people whom of all
others a few years ago they hated and
being by them kindly received and hos
pitably entertained. ' The good feelings
that have been manifested at the centen
nial celebrations at Lexington, Concord
and Bunker Hill lead us to expect that
by the time the great centennial Jt Phil
adelphia is over, and people from all the
States have mingled together and wit
nessed the evidences of the great devel
opment of our country during the first
century of our national existence, sec
tional strife and hatred will have been
forgotten and that we will be in reality,
as in name, one people.
The commencement exercises of the
State University, at Lawrence, this week,
were highly interesting and were well
attended. On Thursday the Rev. Dr.
Marvin, who had been elected Chancel
lor of the University, was installed in
that position. The keys of the Universi
ty were delivered to Dr. Marvin by Hon.
N. C. McFarland, Vice President of
the Board of Regents, who made an ap
propriate reply to the remarks of the
Vice President and then delivered an
Able and appropriate address. Among
the many things of which the people of
Kansas are justly proud, the State edu
cational institutions stand preeminent.
The names of the graduates this year,
and the decrees conferred, areas follows:
Miss A. Gertrude Boughton, of Mora
via, N. Y.. Bachelor of Arts.
Miss Kate Stephens, of Lawrence,

Last Wednesday it was announced in
the telegraph dispatches that the long
continued strike among the coal miners
in Pennsylvania had come to an end, the
miners making an unconditional surren
der. It is a matter of rejoicing to the
country at large that this prolonged con
flict between capital and labor has termi'
natcd. While we condemn all acts of vi
olence and di-order on the part of the
miners, yet if tho reduction of their
wages was unjust we are sorry that star
vation made it necessary for them
to surrender. Labor is the foundation
ot all capital, and if laborers will united
ly assert their rights in an intelligent,
orderly and peaceable manner they can
generally receive a just compensation for
work performed. Strikes have become
unpopular with the mass of our citizens
more on account ot the drunkenness and
disorderly conduct of. the strikers than
from their demands, being unjust as
they sometimes arc. With the equality
before the law that is enjoyed by all
classes in this country those who per
form manual labor have it in their power
to demand and receive just wages, and
in every contest between labor and capital
where the former has had to unjustly
succumb to the latter, we believe the
J cause can be given in one word, whisky.
The Editorial Association of Indiana
held their annual meeting at Indianapo
lis on the 10th inst. Tlw attendance
was good. In discussing the question
"Is Co-operation Among County Pub
lishers and Editors Desirable?" it was
found that the plan of buying paper
with one side ready printed was growing
in favor. Among Kansas editors papers
with "patent bowels" are rather unpop
ular; but then Kansas newspapers, as a
class, rank about three grades above
those of Indiana. Publishers not being
printers, or hard times, are the only
things we know of that makes a patent
sheet desirable.
In the discussions started by the pub
lication of Gen. Sherman's "memoirs"
the agreement tlic General made with
Johnson for the surrender of the Confed
erate troops is being investigated. It
seems that Sherman was directed to de
mand a surrender under such terms as
had been given by Grant to Lee, the gov
ernment refusing to sanction the terms
proposed by him. The terms of surren
der as proposed by Gen. Sherman, it is
stated, were submitted by Jeff. Davis to
each member of his Cabinet for written
opinions as to the construction to be put
upon it. The following is an extract
from the letter of the Confederate Post
master General, Mr, Ragan :
"The agreement under consideration
secures to our people, if ratified by both
parties, the uninterrupted continuance
of the existing State governments; the
guarantees of the Federal Constitution,
and of the Constitutions of their respec
tive States ; the guarantee of their po
litical rights, and of their rights of per
son and property, and immunity from
future prosecurions and penalties for
their participation in the existfng war,
on condition that we accept the consti
tution and Government jof the United
States, and disband our armies by march
ing the troops to their respective States,
deposing their arms in the State arsanals,
subject to the future control of the Gov
ernment, but with the verbal under
Standing that they are only to be used
for the preservation of peace and order
in tho respective States. It is also to be
observed that the agreement contains no
direct reference to the question of slav
ery, requires no concession from us tn
regard to it, and leaves ic subject to the
Constitution and laws nf the United
States and of the several States, just as
it was qeforc toe war."

The Indian Territory Again.
It is gratifying to see the business ele
ments ot Kansas City again arousing
themselves to protest against the quar
tering of all the. savage tribes ot the
plains in our fruut ifuor yards.-arid, if
possible, to avert that calamity. . It is
the manifest policy ofthe government
to 'quarter all the Indians together, and
release as much as possible ot the fertile
west to white men and white civilization.
And to such a policy there can be no ob
jection, provided the spot selected be
not one that divides the states and inter
feres with commercial relations. No se
lection that could be made would dam
age the West so much as that ot the In
dian Territory. It lies directly across
the highway ot commerce between the
Missouri valley and the Gulf, and while
locking up to savage barbarism enough
ofthe best country in the West to make
two slates, practically closes the com
mercial channels of all the balance ofthe
West. The Omaha papers are demand
ing the removal of the Indians from Ne
braska, and particularly from the Niob
rara valley, on the ground of the great
fertility of the country they occupy
there, and the want of it for homes for
white men.
This argument has its potency and
merits consideration in the case of that
state, but it has greater force when ap
plied to the Indian territory, tor it is
much more fertile than the Niobrara
valley, is greater in extent, has a much
finer climate, a more varied production.
and is much more courted. Besides this
the Niobrara valley does not lie across
the commercial pathway of any body, and
to leave the Indians there will cause no
further damage than to locK up a com-
Caratively small extent of country to
arbarism, while the Indian territory
lies across the commercial pathway of
the whole West, and to lock it up, dam
ages all other portions, which damage
will, in the case ot iNcDrasica, dc more
than the loss of the Niobrara valley.
Besides this demand for the Niobrara
valley there is also a demand- for the
eold mines in the Black hills beyond, a
demand, as the members of the board of
trade aptly termed it, of "a tew roving
gold hunters."
But, we are asked, if the Indians can
not be allowed to remain in the Niobrara
valley and the Black Hills, and cannot
be provided with homes in the Indian
territory, where are they to go. We do
not regard it as very material where they
goto, if they are to remain barbarians;
in that case they must continue to go
to keep ont of the way of civilized peo
ple. If they are to become civilized it
docs not then matter so much where
they go to they can go anywhere, like
other people. There is no objection to
them remaining in the Indian territory,
if they be allowed so much country as
will meet the requirements of civilized
life, and the balance be opened to other
civilized people. It is not the presence
of the Indian that is objected to, but the
policy of- setting apart vast areas of
country for them to roam over and main
tain a savage life.
That the present condition of the
Indians is miserable nobody pretends to
dispute. The superfine humanitarians
who would lock civilization out of the
Indian territory concede that the great
need of the Indians is civilization. And
they have been making efforts in that
direction ever since the settlement of
the continent The only question should
be, how can civilization bo best imparted
tn them. It certainly cannot be done at
all so long as they arc excluded from
civilized observances and customs. To
nut them upon a reservation bv them
selves and allow no association with the
hites except the lower cla, as has
bwn the cose heretofore, issimply tn pro
vide for engrafting upon tnem all the
vices of the white race in addition
to their own, and to prevent
them from acquiring any of the virtues
or better habits of the whites.
The effort to teach Indians civiliza
tion by such means has proven a failure,
as, in the nature of things, was inevitable.
To tell a -people of no civilization of the
customs and habits of a state of existence
they have not seen is nonsense, it does
not convey to them any conception of it.
They must see it ; must be associated
with it, or they will not learn. The only
way therefore tocivilizc the Indiansisto
associate 'them 'with civilization; they
must be surrounded by it.
The solution of the whole problem
lies in the establishment'of a government
over the Indians, the allotment of lands
to them as white people own it. and the
opening of the country to white people.
Were this done, the Indian territory
would soon.be filled with intelligent,
law-abiding white people; the Indians
would be surrounded with civilization,
and could soon learn its ways; the coun
try now a fertile waste, would become
the garden of the west, and the commer
cial avenues of the whole western coun
try' would be opened. Were this done
their presence there would not lie a dam
age to tho country, and would be a great
benefit to them. But to fasten them
there, lock white people out, and stop up
commercial avenues, is a most disastrous
blow at western prosperity, and confines
the Indians tonomadic barbarity for all
time. Kansas' City Journal of Commerce.
