there is now a temporary coolness. England
has been the innocent means Of their losing
Tor time large portion Of their carry ing

that the American people have received, and

Are the contractors for carrying the mails
on the Ft. Riley and Ft. Scott, Emporia
and Lawrence, and Topeka and Ottumwa
routes, going to.adopt the changes in sched-
ules proposed by the Postmaster General?
We see no evidence of it as yet. Will
not the Topeka papers, the Emporia News,
Council Grove Press, Burlingame Chroni-
Gle, aud the Lawrence papers, urge upon
the contractors the necessity of making the
proposed changes? The changes proposed
are as follows: The Lawrence and Empo-
ria and Topeka and OttumWa mails to con
meet at Burlingame and there change-the
periods for departure on the two routes, to be
so established that immediate connection
can be made at Rnrlingana. the Eft. Rilay.
and F't. Scott mails to make immediate con-
nections at Ottumwa with the Topeka and
OttumWa mail, the time for departures to
be arranged accordingly.
Were these changes made four-ffths Of
the mail annoyanees that the people expert
ence from Council Grove to Humboldt and
the region of country in the State south,
could be obYiated. It is optional with the
contractors whether these essential changes
shall be made or not. The Postmaster GEN
eral has given his consent that they may be
made, and has even requested the changes
and would so order them bad he the power.

brings forth, equal to any in the world. The
traveller and the emigrant, as they pass over

.prodUctiYeness Of our prairies. Then, we
must have State Fair, and our farmers and
stock raiseFs and mechanics must put in
all their energy to make it an honor to our
State.
Where shall it be held? Lawrence has
never had State Fair.
We are the most central city for the Stock
raisers, and producing classes of our State
With our facilities, we can invite our neigh
bors of free Missouri, to come and visit
us. The Missouri Pacific road, will be
completed, and possibly the occasion of a

made ''at the same time and place."
We make these suggestions for our citi-
zens. The State Fair, will give us a good
opportunity of presenting the interests of
Lawrence to our friends, and exhibiting
our great progress to the people of our State,
and elsewhere.
Our locality is central, and our city the
easiest of access of any prominent point in
the State. We can get it, with proper ex-
ertions. We deserve it. We ought to have
it. Justice to our city, and the interests of
the State, give us good claim, and with
proper exertions we shall have it. Let us
make the effort. We must move early and
