Certain gentlemen, for political ef

These knowing ones had better post
themselves. Under the rules of the
department of the Interior, the U. S.
Senators happen to have a say as to
LT. S. Land Oliiccs and laud districts.
And even had Judge I.rown the en
tire control of the matter, who that
knows him would accuse him ot little

let us present the other horn of the
dilcma: l'.eyond every contingency
Drown will be elected by ten or twelve
thousand majority, will carry every
county in tho district, except probably
two, then how would it look for Wich

Taxes for state purposes in Xew
York this year are seven and one half
mills on the dollar; in Katisas only
four. Somo of the 'Reform" papers
ought to cite this fact as an evidence
of Republican mis rule and extrava

THE RELIEF BONDS
What Will Scdcwick County Do.
In iittrsiiuiico of the iiocu-niry peti
tion "iresuntcil to tliutii, the luiaicl of
county coininic&ioticrs, on Monday
last, submitted the question to the.
people; of Sedgwick county of vot
ing $S,000 in bund") for the relief of
the unfortunate, and of tho-c rendered
destitute bv the lute visitation of
grafeslio'iiicrs or locusts.
This question of bonds should have
the scnou and honest consideration
of every tax-payer in the county. The
practical phase of the problem is just
this ami nothing more: Shall ".reis
sue the-e interest bearing bonds to be
paid at a time in the future when we
have zrown more able, or shall we al
low contitv scrip to be issued in such
quantities as to render it worthless al
most, and to the extent Unit nobody
will receive it for supplies except at
ruinous discount ; and which at the
last will be bought up by speculators
to be hawked abou nt forty or fifty
cenls on the dollar. There is but one
other horn to the dilcma, those who
are able mu?t go down into their pock
ets and help such out of the cotu ty as
cannot get out, or help to keep them
here through the winter. Evidently it
would be more just and cqttitnble that
all bear their proportion of the bur
den, relative to the amount of proper
ty they own, and the taxes they pay.
NobodyshouId.be allowed to starve or
really suffer, and to furnish thi proper
relief, money must be had in one wa
or another.
The law under which the proposi
tion is submitted, is so carefully drawn
and hedged about that it is bimply im
possible for either tho board of county
commissioners, overseer of the poor,
or township" trustees, to squander any
of the funds realized from Hie sale of
bonds. Every teport of the otliccr af
fording the relief must be sworn to,
evcrv item of relief given, and every
application must bo made under oath.
and any officer or party guilty of vio
lating the provisions of the act shall be
adiudired "ttilty ofa misdemeanor and
punished by imprisonment in the pen
ilentiary. He-ides no officer is allow
ed any compensation for bis services
under the act.
As was stated lust week, the com
missioners had made n levy for the
poor fund. In case the bonds carry, it
is the intention of the board to sell
but two thousand dollars at a time,
and to stop selling the moment they
can sec the way through.
We arc opposed to the issuance of
bonds upon principle, but when it pre
scuts itself as a matter of strict econo
my: when it must bo either bonds for
money or two dollars of scrip for ev
ery dollars worth of relief furnished
by merchmts and dcalears; when
speculators in county script arc
"oiii'r around discouraging such is
suance that they may reap a big hat
vest by buying up the counties paper
at half its face, then are we for bond
What eight thousand dollars in money
would buy in the way of provisions,
could not bo purchased for thirteen or
fourteen thousand in scrip, a clear
saving of four or live thousand dollars,
besides saving the credit of the county
Many of the parties who have re
ceived aid from the county have giv
en their obligations to pa back with
lawful interest, we arc informed by
the overseer of the poor.
If there was any way for the trust
ces and overseer of the poor to ignore
the claims of the needy, and if there
was any way for the commissioners to
creep out of paying the bills in scrip,
then the monev shark and hard-heart
ed might suy as a matter of economy,
issue neither bonds or scrip, ltut
then is no such way. Under their
oaths of of lice they must obey the law
which resolves the whole question to
one of bonds and ready money for
relief or depreciated scrip and a ruin
ed credit.
Under the enabling act referred to
township trustees can command the
labor of any to whom aid is furnished
to the full amount upon any public
highway, bridge or pttblic work, at
one dollar per day.
It is the opinion of many of our
most ob-ervant citizens that not more
than half the proposed amount will be
necessary. If that should prove to be
correct, then not mote than half the
bonds will be issued. Resides the re
lief to be furnished under the new law
is much more clocly guarded and
harder to obtain them under the old
law. where scrip is issued to pay the
bill-.
We are for the bonds simply as a
matter of economy to the county, and
the above propositions are oflVred to
those who have not thought of the
question in the light presented.

Mil. Ennoit. I thought 1 would
drop you a few lines, to let yon know
that the people of Rockfotd township
arc still alive, grasshoppers or no
grasshoppers. Wed not stop to com
plain of the past, but double our dili
gence and try to repair our los-es. The
Farmers have been very busy for the
pa-t mouth preparing their land, and
sowing wheat, aud I must say that I
never aw a liner prospect for a large
crop of wheat than we now have in
Rockford. There appears to be less
grasshoppers than there was at this
time last year. I hear very little com
plaint of their working on the wheat.
1 will give vou the names of a few of
the parlies that are sowing wheat and
the amount they are -owing: II.

Snyder, twenty-five acres; J. McBeo
forty acres. All of thc above named
parties reside iu the northwestern
part of the township, and I understand
that the south eastern portion has
done equally well.
Fakmek Donothixo.
The Seneca Courier notes a peculiar
thing about thc sensations of the Kan
sas City Times. H says:

Hudson as a Farmer.
There is much stress laid upon the
idea of J. K. Hudson being a farmer.
That's fiiimv. Just waitLntil you see
him. with his pretty little soft white
bunds, hi- aristocratic imperial, his
sleek broad cloth, and shiny boots.
Farmer, indeed, why, the evriest tail
or or dry goods clerk in all southern
Kansas is not so nicely dressed. Farm
er? Of course! He raised fancy Berk
shire pig for fancy prices upon corn
at market prices, for three or four
years. Farmer? Yes ! He to-day pub
lishes the ollicial organ or newspaper
of the state of Kansas, for which work
he draws pay directly from the treas
ury; a paper, too, that the law com
pels us to publish all our strays in,
from evcrv part of the state, and to
pay for it too. That's all right, and
all honorable, but it don't make him a
farmer. The "Farmer' is the name of
his paper, and upon the profits of a
Fanner he lives, but it is a Farmer
that farms out politicsas much as any
thing else, and is sustained partly by
state patronage. It farmed outgone
Hudson and will soon farm out anoth
er, but failed last winterto farm any
body into the U. S. Senate.
Now, J. K. Hudson is a very nice,
preci8c, sensible young man, who, as a
soldier, was true, as a citizen, is hon
est, as an editor, sharp, as a politician,
clever, but who is not a farmer, and
we hope to hear no more of that cheap
kind of electioneering. The people
arc looking to principles first, to men
second, and not to occupations or pro
fession". Fourteen years ago Grant
was a tanner, but he was a general
and statesman also. Wilson, was -a
coblcr and Chas. Sumner a classical
scholar, and lawyei,but both proved
statesmen of the highest type.
Perry B. Mason.
of Lyon county, a chronic office seeker
and until recently a federal office hol
der, who was a candidate before the
Republican congressional convention
at Emporia, has bolted. Those who
know him be-t will feel Tory sad, in a
horn. He has taken tne stump for the
pretty pig propeller and the reform
ers fancy farmer, J. K. Hudson. Per
ry wants another land office. We hope
Hudson, if elected, won't inflict him
upon Wichita. This sweet old office
holder and deceasod politician is trav
eling around the district in the role of
a farmer, alleging that Judge Brown
is a salary grabber, because he receiv
ed a deScit under a decree of the su
preme court, carried to that court by
John R. Goodiu the reform nominee
the second district. When such men
as Perry B. Maxon goc whining
around the country charging such men
as Judge Brown with corruption, it is
enough to disgust decent men with
politics.
Abbott at Winfletd.
Nelson Abbott and J. K. Hudson
couldn't travel together even if they
do stand upon the same platform.
Abbott visited this part of the state
alone, and thereby hangs a tale, Be
ing alone at Winfield as here, James
Kellcy, who knew Abbott in Macomb,
Illinois, and seeing the poor fellow
was without protection, took the lloor
and told the audience that Abbott
published a scandalous, copper-head
paper in Macomb during tlie war, and
only saved hi- press by taking the
o.i til of allegiance. Re stated that
Abbott's paper counseled resilience to
the draft, advised desertion, and so
incensed and encouraged the copper
heads at home as to catt-e the murder
of XV. II. Randolph, the deputy pro-vo-t
marshal. He also accused Ab
bott of Felling lottery tickets to di
po-o of his own property in Macomb,
and then sold the property at private
-ale and left the country with his tick
et money in his pocket. Abbott de
nied all these charges, but Mr. E. 1.
Kiiuip, of Arkansas Cit', who also
knew Abbott and his history, happen
ed to be present r.ud at once arose and
verified Mr. Kelly's statement. Great
applause followed Mr. Kelly's expos
ure of Abbott.
We see it stated that the reform
committee has withdrawn Abbott
from the canvass. It is well. Much
time and expense would be saved by
drawing oil" Hudson, Cusey and the
Vest of the ticket if they only knew it.
Cosmopolitical.
Our reform friends in convention
la-t Saturday appeared to be actuated
by the most liberal views and compre
hensive policy. 'No pent up Utica,-'
could repre.-s their noble ambition;
no county or even state lines were
permitted to cut oil" a representation
of the whole people. A man by the
name of Carter, u re-ident of Sumner
county, a man who wa beat in his
own county la-t fall, was rcccommcud
cd as a delegate by the committee on
credentials and the fellow actually
tried twice to obtain the floor. But a
man by the name of J. B. Carey, from
Maroa, Macon county, Illiuoi-, and an
office holder in that state, actually re
presented Garden I'laines, and as a
delegate made motions aud voted the
entire strength of that township. If
that i- a specimen of the reformers
political reform and should it come in
to power the people of Garden I'laines
township, may expect to be represent
ed next year by an 0age Indian, or a
Mexican Greaser.
Judgo Brown on tho Stump.
Hon. Wm. II. Brown, republican
nominee for congress, and Hon. Ed.
Russell, of Leavenworth, addressed
our people at the court house on Wed
nesday evening. There was a good
audience present. Judge Peyton pre
sided. We have not room for a synopsis of
the speeches. All we have heard ex
press themselves were well plea-ed
with Judge Brown's talk. It was a
plain straight-foward statement of the
political situation, aud an able defense
of tho republican party. It was ut

It was futhcr recommended that!
Rev. Carter, of Sumner county, be ad
mitted as a delegate from Garden
Plains. The report was adopted.
The committee on permanent organ
ization reported in favor of the tem
porary chairman and secretary being
made permanent officers. Tho com
mittee recommended that a majority
vote be necessary to a choice, and that
partial delegations cast theeutirc vote
of their township or ward.
The committee on resolutions then
made the following report through A.
Harris :
Whereas, The universal ollicial prolligacy
and corruption that permeates all the depart
ments of the administration of the govern
ment both state and national trom the highest
ollicial- to the lowest subordinates, admon
ishes, patriot-, no matter by what party names
they may have called themselves, that to re
store the administration or gov eminent to the
Jellersoniaii standard or capability and integ
rity it must be ellectcd by the co-operation of
tne people ol an panics iij.il are reauy to ig
nore paity lor country. Therefore he it
J.'ftohtd, That w ithout regard to pa-t party
atlihatiuus we shall act with the independent
reform party becui-ell.e past records of thoe
composing H, as we believe, fnriii-li an earn
est that if successful, an administration of the
gov eminent of the state will be had free from
the taints or corruption that has for v ear
made Kansas politic- a stench in the nostrils ot
honest people.
lUtched, That in the presentation of a coun
ty ticket we demand the support or the can
didates nominated in view ol the torcgoing
standard of qualification-, and if they -hall
fail to posse-s them, We shall not expect their
support by the people.
Dr. Furley moved that the conven
tion now proceed to an informal bal
lot for representative.
Judge Fisher moved that nomina
lions be made, which was carried.
Mr. Fisher then moved that Win. F.
Jewett, of Park township, be nomina
ted by acclamation, which was carried
without a dissenting voice.
Mr. Jcwctt then appeared in re
sponse to a call aud thanked the con
vention for the honor conferred. He
had not been a candidate. If elected
he proposed to do his duty without
regard to rings or corporations.
James Dagner moved that all further
candidates be chosen by ballot, which
was earned.
The clerk of court being next in or
der, Geo. Harris nominated Geo. W.
Reeves, (the republican nominee).
Said he was the best man.
Dr. Furley disagreed to this, lie
said if the republican party had the
best man why then vote their ticket.
Judge Fisher said he was in favor of
the reform party taking just such men
as they chose, and he was in favor of
Geo. W. Reeves if he was the nominee
of the other party.
Judge Harris was also in favor of
Geo. W. Reeves ; thought it would
give the greatest satisfaction to the
bar. He moved that the rules be sus
pended and that Geo. Reeves be nom
inated by acclamation.
Mr. Furley said he had no personal
objection to Mr. Reeves: he was a
good man, but he knew tliat Mr. Reeves
would be in honor bound to stand by
the other ticket, and for that reason
he was in favor of putting a man of
their own in the field, and suggested
the name of A. Ralph, of Illinois
township.
Mr. Carey then moved that we pro
ceed to ballot for district clerk by ap
pointing two tellers. Mr. Hammond
and Moore were appointed tellers,
Dr. Furley made the point of order
ihat there were gentlemen spcakin
"
confusion ciisuctl. Several gentlemen

tials and who were working for their

Mr. Carter, from Sumner county,
then desired the privilege for the sec
ond time to say a few words, but was
told to wait uutil thc vote was count
ed. The first ballot for clerk of district
court resulted, A.U. Ralph, 46 ; G.W.
Reeves, 25; whereupon Mr. Ralph was
declared the nominee of the conven
tion. James IL Dagner nominated George
II. English for couuty attorney. B. II.
Fisher nominated S. M. Tucker and
James Hammond nominated B. II.
Fisher, for the same office, which re
sulted, Fisher 18, Tucker 8, English
50, whereupon Geo. II. English was
declared the nominee.
For county superintendent G. XV.
Hobbs nominated Rev. Mr. Post, and
Mr. Jordan nominated John Davis, of
Waco. The first ballot resulted, Rev.
Post 24, John Davis 32 votes, where
upon Mr. Davis was declared the nom

Stafford, and as there were no other
nominations Mr. Stafford was nomi
nated by acclamation.
For coronor, Dr. Greenlee was plac
ed in nomination, who In turn nomi
nated C. C. Furley both gentlemen
utterly refu&ed to allow their names
to go before the convention.
Dr. Furley nominated J. F. Reese,
who was madtj the nominee by accla
mation. The nomination of G. II.
English was made unanimous by ac
clamation.
Mr. A. Harris then addressed the
convention with reference to the can
vass of J. K. Hudson, and desired the
people to come out and hear him when
he. speaks here. He also eulogized
Mr. Hudson in a warm manner.
On motion of -Judge Stafford tho
old central ceinmittee was continued
in office.
Whereupon the convention adjourn

Emporia Presbytery and Synod of
Kansas.
Emporia from its peculiar situation
secjns destined to become, quite an ec
clesiastical, as well as educational and
commercial center. Less than three
vears ago tho M. E. confeicncecoiivcn
at that place, last year the state Sun
day school convention ; last week the
Presbytery of Emporia, and the still
larger body, the Synod of Kansas,
The Presbytery of Emporia was open
ed on Tuesday evening with a sermon
by the retiring Moduator, the Rev. J.
E. Platter, of Winfield. The Rev. A,
D. Jack, of Eureka, was elected Modu
ator. Since the last spring meeting,
three new ministers have conic into
its bounds, and two churches have
been added to the roll.
Measures were taken to supply every
one of the forty-one churches under
the care of this body cither in part or
on every Sabbath.
The overture of the General Assem
bly in reference to the charge in the
form of government, on the matter of
Rotary Eldership, was answered in
the atlirmntivc.
The next regular meeting of the
Prcsbvterv is to be held in Wichita on
the 1st Thursday in April next.
On Thursday the Synod of Kansas
convened and was opened with a ser
mon by flic retiring Moduator, Rev. J
A. Andcison, president of the Agri
cultural College. The Rev. D. M.
Moore, of the Hutchinson, was elected
Moduator lor the ensuing year. This
Synod comprises all the Presbyterian
churches in this state, the Indian Ter
ritory and in Texas. The presence of
two Indian missionaries and a native
preacher, and the report of a commit
tee appointed to.visit the churches in
that region, naturally brought the In
dian question rather prominently be
fore this body. In a resolution adopt
ed, our national and state authorities
arc called upon to respect the solemnly
plighted faith of the government in
every treaty made with this people,
and to resist to anv needful extent
every attempt to encroach upon, and
wrest from the Indian his property,
aud other rights. The Rev. J. Ro?
Ramsay, who has been for twenty-live
years a missionary among this people
and who stands as straight as an ar
row, with Rev. Porting, a native
preacher, sang some hymns and choc
uses in the Greek language. Though
the tunes were peculiar yet there was
a sweetness in their melodv that at
tracted the attention of all.
The Synod took measures to prose
cute the work among the Indians with
increasing vigor.
The destitution existing in this state
from the recent calamities came up in
adiscussion to addopt a resolution ap
pointing a day of fasting ami prayer.
The members from the more highly
favored and older portions ofthe state,
thought rather that a day of thanksgiv
ing should be appointed to express
their gratitude to God, because the
recent calamities were not worse than
was at first expected. Those minis
ters, who came from the west and
southwest, had some facts to lay be
fore the body, of the want and suffer
ing existing, and yet with all of the
hopefulness of the settlers, that moved
every heart with sympathy. No defin
ite action, was taken upon the subject.
Through the kindness of president
Pomcroy of the Normal school, the
members of the Synod visited that in
stitution on Friday afternoon. Most
of our readers have seen this beautiful
building, as it stands at the head of the
main business street in Emporia.
The interior of the structure is well
arranged. The pupils, among whom
we noticed several Wichita young
ladies, were assembled in the large
chapel. An examination in rhetoric
was heard, and the young ladies went
through a series, gymnastical evolu
tions to the interest of the spectators.
On Friday evening a Sabbath school
meeting was held, in which a number
of stirring speeches were delivered by
the members of the Synod.
The next place of meeting of the
Svnod i Atchison.
Letter From Hon. D. P. Lowe.
The following cloqueut letter from
Hon. D. P. Lowe, was read to thc
mass meeting at Ottawa, on last Sat
urday, and received with great ap
plause: Ft. Score, Kak.. Sept. 20, 1S7I
Major T. C.IiotcUs:
My Dt:.n Sin- I received yester
day vonr favor, inviting me on behalf
the Republican club, of your county,
to address amass meeting an Ottawa,
on the 25th inst. I regret that my en
gagements arc snch as to prevent rae
from accepting the invitation. I hope
vou may have a succc-slul inaugura
tion of the campaign. Never ince thc
close of thc war has there been a time
when the country Hood in greater
need of Republican success and the
continuance of Republican rule than
at present. The old clement of bate to
human rights and human equality,
which first brought on the war, and
afterwards shaped itself intoKu-klux
murder, is again under the Shiboleth
f the White League, organizing to
crush out civil liberty and ncntralizc
the effect of the constitutional amend
ments. Tlic new Louisiana rebellion and the
murder and lcrrori-m throughout thc
South, should be accepted s a warn
luiin blood that thc issues left by the
war are not vet .ettled, ad that the
status of justice and equal civil and
nnliticn! rio-hta f.ir all is not acnuicsc-i
ed ill. Evcrv Democratic -success uu
der whatever name, and here it as
sumes the guise of reform, is a beacon
light to the new revolution and rebel
lion, organizing to nullify the laws ot
the land. The attitude of the Presi
dent is right, and the hands of the
UOClUIIIC.Il. SIlOUllI c,c- .ucilgiututu
by the svmpathv anil support ot its
loval citiens, With a patriotic ticket
tn'tbn field, and with candidates for
Pnn.rri.ss tried and true, two of whom
have fought in the field and in the
w a " --
halls of Consress for the ideas and the
status of a regenerated couutry. I
hope to see the Republicans of Kansas
rally again to their staudard and carry
it to the front of victory.
I rtynani yours very sincerely,
D. P. Lowe.
