revolution and anarchy would be accept

But happily for the nation. Congress has

The country wants peace aud fratsrnal

of the finest looking orchards we have
seen this year is here to be found. The
trees are large and splendid looking. and
from he road We could see the apples on
some of them. Mr.. Filsusr also has s
good supply of young trees growing.
The next farms We come to we're those Of
Boon Flora, H. P. Perkins, Mr.. Bransou
and others on Dow creek. Those of Mr..
Flora and BransOn are noticeable for their
excellent crops. The former gentleman
has as fine a corn field as we saw on our
trip. He alec has a nice little frame house.
Boon is one of those unfortunate "crit-
terra" that has cage and no bird to put in
it. His brother, who is more fortunate.

TIE EDUCATIONAL CENTER.

The Lawrsncs State Journal, sxalting its
horn over the recent discovery of a Yankee
wind instrument aud fast scrub pony
in that enteprisipg burg. triumphantly
exclaims: Lawrence ia the musical and
fast horse cente of the State" We yield
to the ambition of our nsighbor, on these
important points, and in turn We call his
attention to a couple of items in the pro-
ceedings of the recent Teachsrs' Associa
ton: The next meeting of the Associa-
ton is to be held at Emporia, and the Ed
ucational Journal, the organ of the State.
is hereafter to be edited and published here
under the auspices of the accomplished
Principal of the State Normal School and
his Assistants. T his is as it should be.
Il establishes the fact that Emporia is the
! EDUCATIONAL CENTER OF THE STATE.
This was just as true before, but here is
official recognition of the fact Every
Teacher in the Schools of Kansas worthy
of the name, looks to the State Normal
School. We have the machinery of a
splendid school system in our noble Cen
TRIAL STATE. The State Normal School
is the POWER which is to set that machin-
cry in motion. No other State but Kan
sas had the foresight aud wisdom to estab
fish State Normal School at the very
outset Of its efforts at Common School Ed
ucation. As the Normal School is OF
prime interest and importance to every
School District 10 the State, and affects
all the parts of our school system alike.
so the Legislature, with rare wisdom and
forethought, gave il central location. To
FIVE years Emporia will be the center Of
Z population and wealth in the State, as il
is now the center of the Educational In-
terests. The CENTRAL STATE is also to
be the Model State. First in War and
First in Peace. The School System of
Kansas is the best yet devised. Ours is
the only State Constitution that appropr-
ates all moneys arising from fines to the
Common Schools. The fund from the
Land Endowment will some day equal
all the other revenues of the State. Com
mon School Education is the basis of
modern civilization. KaDpas will yet lead
the world. The cause of that leadership
will be the superior education of its mass
e'. The consequences will be the sstab-
> lishment of universal freedom and stuff
rage and the general elevation ofall class
es ofpeOple. The great motto of the
times is Educated Educated Educated Be,
fore this demand for popular education
the claims of fast horses and Concert sing
ers, of whatever celebrity, will fade out
Emporia readily yields TO Lawrence in
such enterprises, but will successfully
maintain her claim to be the EDUCATION
AL CENTER OF TIE STATE.

THE CAPITOL BUILDING.

There is some difficulty about the new
Capitol Building at Topeka, The con
tractors are pitching into the Commission
ers and Architect, charging them with
hardness and general dereliction in duty.
These charges, with that of swindling su
peradded, are made by the Commissioners
and Architect upon the contractors. The
first result'o of all which is that work on
the building drags, aud the next Legisla
ture, like the Last, will find nothing but
an unsightly heap Of stones in return for
the expenditure of the peoples money.
At this distance, and with but few details
of this new imbroglio before US, we can
not definitely pronounce as to where the
blame. lies. But our very decided i'm
preston is that it is''With the contractors.
They had difficulty with the Architect
last year, charging him with not furnish
ing working plans; but these charges
we're afterwards disproYed completely; aud
it also turned out that the difficulty arose
from the fact that the contractors wanted
to build the inside walls, on which they
were making large profit. to the neglect
of the outside walls. on which they were
losing mOnsy-Which the Architect would
not permit.
Both contractors and the public we're
notified last winter that the new Board
of Commissioners could not Be bought OF
builied into any combination against the
interests of the State. The contractors
onght to have Needed. but they rely upon
having change made the coming vints,
so as to be able to ''run" things to sui,
them. If they are allowed to do this there
will Be but one remedy, aud that is to stop
the work There is safety in that, at all
events, and - it is now evident that the
State will be driven to make new lease
of the premises now occupied for State
purposes, perhaps it would be as well to
await the general decline in prices which
few years yin bring before proceeding
further with the prosecution Of work Of
no present interest, and only fruitful
source Of pickering and sOrruptou.

THEvALLEY ROAD.

A mseting of the Directors Of the IN
ION Pacific R. R.. s. B. Go. has been
called to meet Al Emporia on the 22d Of
August next. The purpose Of the meet
ing is to take into consideration pending
propositions for the construction of the
road, and to consult generally concerning
its interests arising out of the recent vO-
ting of bonds by the counties along the
line.
Several persons, and combinations of
persons, desire to become possessed of
the franchises of the Company. under
promises, more or less specific, TO build
the road. No doubt most of them are
genuine, but it is only the part of wisdom
and an ordinary prudence, to require sub
stantial guarantees before such large fran
ehises are passed out of the hand Of persOns
interested IN the Valley into those of outsi>
ders who have no interest in common With
ours, and who would consult their own
interests and inclinations first. Fail
promises will undoubtedly be made; but
something more should be required.
The people want the whole road built
We beg of the Directors not to sacrifice
the prospect for this in their desire to ge
the work commenced. A guaranty of tb'
construction of say the FIRST ten miles
only, would, in our judgment. be who'll,
insuficient, Better wait q wear or LW,
and make all things fast than run To-
much risk in a matter Of so vital interest
So soon as our political disturbances ar,
over and the question of reconstructio
finally settled. there viii be found plent

Better wait the coming of that time tina
