.,samship Company would Withdraw their
,orosition to the Mail Line, and that the
Sierra Nevada would not take her departure
a, advertised, April 5th, the rates of pas
.,re advanced Immediately to more than
twice the old price. The rates of passage
10 New York, yesterday, were, $50 for ster-
are 800 second cabin; $3.50 for first
cabin. The first cabin tickets at these pri-
eos were all disposed Of; few second cabin
tickets, and only four steerage. The prices
this morning are: steerage, Sl25; second
cabin 5000. Owing to the arrangement
there has been and still is much excitement
and dissatisfaction on the part of those who
have come to San Francisco with the inten-
ton of going, with the design of taking pas
sage to the Atlantic States, and have not vet
obtained their tickets. A large crowd col
iected in Sacramento street and harangues
we're made by various individuals against the
giant monopoly. A contribution was raised
on the spot to publish handbills calling
public meeting relative to the affair, and de-
Hberate upon the expediency and manner of
an overland journey home.
Joseph Spanier and John Edwards, who
were charged in Oregon with grand larceny,
arrested in this State on a requisiton of the
Governor, and recently ordered to be convey

morning discharged on haJeas corpus by
Judge Norton. The decision was that the
warrant issued by the Governor was infor-
NAL and defective. Judge Norton also states
that the statutes of the State were defective.

Of the Act Of Congress of 1898. as a part

The Leavenworth Ledger. in q good
article on "The business, Improvements,
and future prospects of Leavenworth,"
among other suggestions for securing the
trade Of southern Kansas for that city,
says

order, and our merchants to advertise their
goods in a leading newspaper in the inte-

renee, circulates more extensively, and
has more influence in southern Kansas
than any other journal in the Territory.
Let our merchants and business men ad-
vertise in that paper literally, and We
have no hesitation in saying the entire
trade of southern Kansas you'd concentrate
here" II
It is needless to say that we endorse
those suggestions Of the Ledger most fully.
Indeed we have wondered that the bust
ness man of Leavenworth have SO long
neglected employing those means in their
behalf which could not fail in centraliz-
ing the almost entire business of the Ter
ritory at that point, to wit: opening good
roads to their city; secondly, giving pub
licity to the fact that they have means to
supply the people of southern and south.

Il Won't Win.


1t is proposed to re-organize the Free
State party on new basis. Will some
body tell US when the Free State party
was disbanded? We are conscious that
body of political "shysters" are des:rous
of engrafting Republicanism upon the
Free State party, and also conscious that
they viii fail in the attempt. Prior to
the late election these same &systers were
in favor of organizing Republican party,
but all at once they have concluded that
it is not wise to take step Of that char
acter, 50 they propose to add new planks
to the old platform, and thus journey on
together for while. We take occasion,
at this early day, to warn them that the
Free State party, as organized in the past,
will not submit to any additions or emen-
dations to their party creed. They are
satisfied with the organization as it was,
and he who takes from or adds to it,
places himself on the outside of the ring,
and shall be treated as such. II these
new lights are determined to lead of in
the direction they are now Indicating. we
assure them that they will have but few
followers. They may mark that, for it is
a fact that il due time will seem almost
self-evident.

Taking Cara of the Weundsd.

At the late election in Pennsylvania,
the federal administration party was rout-
ed "Aorse, foot and dragons" But two
out of twenty-three Representatives to
Congress, were elected by the friends Of
Mr.. Buchanan, and those two by greatly
reduced majorities. j. CLANCY Jones, the
"right bower" of Mr.. Buchanan, from Old
Berks, who was most signally defeated
by an outraged constituency, has since
been honored with an appointment by the
President, as Minister to the Court Of
Austria. Thus, it seems, those whom the
people repudiate, Mr.. Buchanan takes
into special favor.

Ea,ali,r Of N.xnpansr..

We find that some t,Oenty: :tiue newspapers,
which have been started in Kansas since
its settlement in the fall of 1854, have
suspended, or gone down entirely. In
fact, save the Leavenworth Herald and
the Herald Of Freedom, the two Oldest
newspapers in the Territory, we believe
there is not paper which has an editor
who dates his connection with the Kansas
press back of the spring of 1857. Some
half dozen presses have been brought
to the Territory, which were never used
by their original prOprietors, but changed
hands before they were used. A press
was taken to Fort Riley in the summer Of
1856, and is now owned by Mr.. Garvey,
of Topeka Another was taken to Man
haitian during that year, and is now in the
Herald of Freedom Office. The press on
which the Osawatomie Herald was printed,
was taken to that place in the fall Of
1856 /; was buried in q wood pile when
that town was destroyed, and laid idle
until last winter, when it was brought
forth to print that journal. A strange f.
tality has attended the Kansas newspaper.
and presses, and their future history viii
be very interesting.

A Good Take-OH

A few days since q friend of ours, while
standing on the levee at Kansas City,
overheard the following dialogue, between
q stranger, who had few moments be-
fore got OF q steamer, which had by
chance landed there to wood up, and the
driver of Westport stage:
Stranger, after walking up and down
the levee and trying in vain TO find some
way in which TO get out Of the town into
the country, approached the driver with
the question: "Aint there no way to get
out Of this cussed village ?'
Dnyer--"Yes; just 60 along up that
rayine you see there, they call it Main
street. and you will see tackle fixed
there just on purpose to haul people up,
and tell the men what tends it that / sent
you, and they viii haul you up quicker
than h-Il."
Just then the bell rang, and the stran.
ger made one grand rush for the boat,
saying that he would continue on up TO

A friend, writing us from Tecumseh,
lets us into an understanding of the shape
of parties in the late election in Shawnee
county. He says
You are not quite right in regard to the
election in Shawnee county. Holmes was
nominated by combination of Topeka and
Burlingame, and is not radical. Tope-
ka yielded her radicalism on "bargain
and sale,"-that Shawnee county should
be divided so as to form new county,
with Burlingame as the county seat, and
Topeka to be elected county seat Of
Shawnee in place Of Tecumseh. Topeka
and Burlingame were the only towns that
voted on the county seat question. The
rest of the county had no notice of any
such election. Winans was put forward
positively and expressly a. Republican
rejected the Free State Platform, and
consequently was defeated. Tecumseh
cast only about 30 votes. Had he run as
q Free State candidate, we would have
given him $50 votes. We had no choice
because We were opposed to both candi-
dates. ~

Threatened Difficulties.

There are threatenings of renewed dis
turbances in the southern portion of Kan
sas, growing out of q determination on the
part of the violaters of the law and the
disturbsrs of the public tranquility, in that
section, to not submit to an examination
into their acts, by the Courts. We appre-
hend the majesty of the law will be sus-
tanned in that section, and do sincerely
hope that no person charged with its ex-
ecution will be frightened into disregard
of its provisions, by set of desperadoes
who are resolved that their private opin-
ions shall govern in place of public stat.
utes. We shonld suppose that the e1pe.
Ience of the past was ample to satisfy
all parties that the law was safer tribu
nal for the arbitrament of difficulties, thar
mob violence. If there are those wht
believe to the contrary, of course Kansas
must "bleed" again, until that era haI
arrived.

The Era Of Good Feeling.

There is no better evidence of the prev.
alence Of good feeling than to witness
nowadays the meeting of two such per.
sonages as the editors of the Herald of
Freedom and the Kansas Herah-men
who have heretofore been considered as
belonging to the extremes of PARTIES
Such a meeting recently took place at the
Renick House. 1t was not, as it might
have been in days gone by, warliko
meeting, but really pleasant and agree
able one. We found Mr.. Brown q socia-
BILE, pleasant and affable gentleman, Of
good conversational powers.
He still holds to his radical views on
the slavery question. He is frank and
honest in his statements of them, much
more so than many Of those of the same
school, who are abusing him. He is
withal, conservative in his general views,
and is for whatever will tend to promote
the peace, quiet and happiness of the peo-
pie of Kansas. ID.
He gets up a neat paper, and much
better one than any other Free State pa
per in Kansas, and doubtless has 9 much
larger circulation, than any paper in the
Territory, especially in the southern pOr.
ton of it. Therefore, We are satisfied,
those of our business men, who desire TO
secure the trade of southern Kansas,
would consult their interests by advertis.
ing in his paper. By so doing. they would
reach the "public-eye" of that rapidly
growing country. The trade is Of vast
importance to Leavenworth, and every
means mould be used to secure it.
We said this much of Mr.. Brown, be.
cause we believe we are stating what 10
true, and nothing more. We found him
a fair and candid political opponent, hes
itating not to express his views on any
subject, or opposing any man, even If be
belonged to his own party.-Leap1'rorth

Those business men who patronize the
printers the most literally, are proverbial
for being the fairest dealers. They can
afford to be such, because they have a
larger number of customers. and those
who invariably pay the cash for what
they buy. He who is engaged in busi-
ness, and is too niserly to pay the prin-
ter for keeping his name and business be-
fore the country, is generally too penu-
rious to merit patronage from anybody.
and when they do get it they are COM
pelled to charge two prices to make both
ends meet Look out for such persons,
and give your trade to him who shows he
has . soul in him by patronizing the prin-
ter literally.
