Bin Tor the Admission OF Kansas

ana ihade that issue absorbing and paramount.
BAH for the Admission Of kansas.
The bin lately introduced in the Senate Of
the United States for the admission Of Kan
sas, allows the new State two Senator's and
one Representative in Congress, and provides
that the people shall never interfere with the
primary right Of the United States to the
disposal Of the lands within the limits Of
Kansas. 1t also, with the consent Of the
people, sets apart two sections Of land in
each township for school purposes, seventy
two sections for a State University, ana ten
sections for public buildings It also grants
the Salt Springs and per cent. Of the pro-
ceeds Of the public lands for the use Of the
State.
The Bill i very liberal in its terms, and it's
passage by Congress you'd prevent the
threatening ana dangerous disturbances like
y to grow out of the slavery extension move
ments Of Squatter Sovereign and Border
Ruflan agitat0rs.
- The advertising columns Of the Lon
don Times are estimated to yield the estab-
lishment the enormous sum Of $4,000, 900
per annum. One firm alone pays the Times
a. high as $l5o,o00 year for advertising,
and there are several business establishments
that pay it over 5000 year for advcrtis-
ing alone.
1t requres an immense business to justify
such outlaws for advertising, and the fact
that such sums are paid year after year, BY
old and well established houses, and the
further fact concerning the total sum paid the
Times newspaper for advertising, would seem
to demonstrate that advertising pays all par
ties concerned.
