Our Admission.

We are informed by gentleman of this
place. who returned from Topeka day or
two since, that reliable news had been re-
ceived there that Kansas would certainly be
admitted about the first of May. What
particular shape the bill will assume. or in
what shape it will finally pass. we are not
advised but in any shape that it can pass
it will not materially affect us as State.

can Act for the Encouragement of Wool
Growing" passed by the late Legislature.
which exempts all sheep from taxation
There is not, in the opinion of any man at
all qualified by experience to Judge, any
branch of business that affords so large a
profit as that of sheep and wool growing
In this country, sheep can be kept for
almost nothing through the winter. and
in the summer can be herded at trifiing
cost, as several thousand of them may be
safely entrusted to the care of a lad and two
or three well trained dogs. We know of
one man, not far from here, who has about
so head. and pays little or no attention to
them, except in very severe weather in win
ter, who sells annually from $500 to $500
worth of wool. This is an article that can
easily be hauled to shipping point on the
river, and thence sent to market, at time
in the season when freights are very low.
There is no good reason why we, in Kan
sas, cannot make wool growing the business
of the country and if it is profitable in
New Mexico. land who doubts it?) after
hauling it 1000 miles, certainly it can be
made much more so here. We hope to see
some attention paid to wool growing. and we
doubt not it will receive it. since it has re-
ceived Legislative encouragement.

Distillery and Brewery.

/ Some things are fixed facts-facts that canno
be controverted nor gainsayed: and among those
facts is the one that some folks viii dfink-wil
drink whisky and beer. We have in central and
western Kansas not few Of that class Of men

much as you please; still the fact has, does and
will continue to exist, despite of all that can be
| done or said against IT,
Such being the fact it then becomes proper
question for consideration to decide how this
evil can be made as slight as possible. We have
done so. and believe that thing that should be
done Immediately, is to establish here in Topeka
a hrst-class distillery, where we can at home
make our own whisky. The fact is settled that
men will drihk-that no matter what iteosts, they
will have what they want; it then becomes as
much matter of economy TO manufacture our

brick, or anything else that we A distillery

That is all very nice talk. probably, to
certain class of people in our country
but we think it looks bad in print. Still
the traffic in ardent at Topeka may have be-
come of SO much magnitude that it is diff
cult to supply the demand by the present
facilities the people there have for its i'm
portaion. In that case, perhaps it might
be well to go to manufacturing. if By SO do
ing they will be able to furnish all they de-
sire. aaafsasa- ara ah
But seriously, the ITi6nns says 'sit will
furnish home market for our grain. -
Will that benefit the people any A few
thousand bushels of grain would stock any
distillery in this country-which of course
would all be purchased as soon as possible
after harvested, at the very lowest figure for
cash, or in exchange for the extract-leaving
hundreds of thousands of bushels to seek
some other market. s sra4f t..s
Now we respectfully submit whether il
is not more for the general good of the
people in this country to recommend that
instead of introducing distileries, stock
hogs and cattle-enough be brought into
the country to consume all the surplus corn
that may be raised, and thereby furnish
something for export as well as home con-
sumption, rather than to convert that corn
into something that will make hogs of our
citizens? s1..
We will throw what little influence we
and our paper have in favor of the estab-
lishment of the various branches of manu-
facture in Kansas which will be of any util-
ity, and remuneration to the proprietors !;
but as to the establishment of such "insti-
tutions" as distilleries we beg to be excused
from advocating. On the contrary, we con-
slider the manufacture of liquor here would
only add an additional curse to the now
blighting one of selling and drinking poi
soned whisky. !.

[1lLh'IA.
Now that the election is past
with the interest the canvass alb
sorbed, we may, with propricty,
direct public attention to the ct-
forts being made to secure to
Northern Iowa, the advantages to
accrue to us, as a people, from
such an enterprise, and earnestly
entrcat the people, to lend the
project such aid as is within their
means, and which, if promptly and
generously done, will ensure us a
railroad at an early day. Yet we
would urge upon every farmer the
Importance of considering we'll
what he can do, with safety to
himself, before acting affirma-
lively in the matter. While the
project will require the aid of
every dollar that can be obtained
it will in no wise benefit the road
to obtain a large subscription
that we cannot pay. Therefore
let the subscription, whether to
the stock or as donations, be such
as the farmer can meet promptly,
and let them do it, then if the
company proceed with the work,
they have made calculations as to
the extent they must rely upon
their own resources, and will not
cmbarass the work or themselves
by depending upon the payment
of sums that only come, when ru-
in has cngulphed the road in its
vortex. Let us make no cxtray-
agant promises, but after having
made a careful estimate of our re-
sources, and our expenditures, let
us do all that we can in justice to
ourselves, and with certainty of
payment to the company, and the
project, if undertaken, and not
completed will not be at our fault.
New Oregon plaindealer. (New Oregon, Iowa) 1859-1866, 1860-11-16
THE RESULT.

Whatever may be the precise
result of the canvass just closed,
there are many questions of prac-
teal Importance that have an i'm
mediate bearing upon the ques-
tions involved that cannot be over
looked. In the first place the
House of Representatives that will
assemble on the Inauguration of
the incoming administration is
democratic, and as the Territories
now organized are acting under
the principles of the Kansas Ne
braska act, there is no fear of pro-
hibition being applied to them by
that congress. This is equally
true of the present congress; the
conservative element in the Senate
forbidding the adoption of any
such measure. And so in regard
to protection, if the present con-
gress should attempt such a mea-
sure, it will most assurcdly be put
to rest; and should it be passed
by the next, it can in no event be-
come law. Thus We sec, that
tho action of the people i'll the
choice of President, while it has,
through divisions and chickering's
in our ranks, given that office to
an interyentionist, it has also cfec-
tually intcrposcd obstacles Of such
a character as to leave that admin
istration powerless upon this qucs-
ton. These among many other
reasons, not necessary now to men
ton assure us that non-interven-
ton in the affairs of the Terrific
rics, is to be the settled policy OF
