they voted or neglected to votei For this
ignorance and its results, the Republican press
throughout the State must be held in some
measure responsible. 1t is not enough to dis
cuss the personal merits of candidates; the
issues themselves must be thoroughly explained
and kept before the people. When there are
nine separate tickets at the polls, special
education of the public is required. For our
friends who have done their best in the cam
paign, there is the consolation that good work
does not always bear fruit Immediately.

1t is probable that there has never been an
election held in this State ut which the voters
were so little conversant with the issues. The
light ballot is of course attributable to lack
of interest. Yet surely the issues at stake were
of great Importance. Aside from partisan poll
tics. of which here and now We say nothing,
thore were measures in which every citizen
had deep, permanent interest; questions
which concerned the administration of justice
and affected the person and the pocket; Ques-
tions involving the value of property, and
questions involving the rights of man. How
many were thoroughly conyersant with the
points at issue. or knew what they did. when

Very respectfully, &c,
Comments bv The Tribune.

l. The first point to be made in the manage
ment of our Finances is to create and diffuse
an undoubtng conviction that we shall pay
out Debt honestly, scrupulously, and to the
last farthing. This will give us credit, and
enable us to borrow at low rates the means
wherewith to pay off loans made in time of
war at high rates of interest.
III. To create and maintain such conviction
we must evince a willingness to bear taxation
In order to pay we must tax-there is no other
resource. Talk is cheap; but if we are seen
10 be imposing and paying taxes with direct
reference to the payment of our Debt, over
ruling the demagogues who would persuade
the people to turn the Debt oyer to their
grandchildren in the next century, we shall
be believed and trusted.
III. SO long as we are seen to be buying up
and canceling Fifty to One Hundred Millions
per annum of the principal of our Debt our
credit must steadily improve. AS our bonds
grow more and more scarce under this process
of paying off, their market value must be en-
HANGED. Sinking funds and all kindred de-
vices are of small account in comparison with
the steady and rapid extinction of Debt.
w. Nearly three-fourths of our interest
bearing Debt either now is or very soon will
be subject to redemption. We need not pay it
for twelve to fifteen years yet, but we may
pay il so soon as we shall see fit. And, as
these Five-Twenties bear six per cent. interest
we ought to be able to borrow at lower rate
and take up these bonds with the proceeds
Could we so borrow this at 4i per cent, we
should save Twenty Millions per annum that
we are now paying as interest; and this
saving, if funded, would of itself pay off our
entire Debt within half century.
V. Or Financial policy is, therefore, summed
up in these few words: 1. Keep up the taxes;
2. Cut down and keep down expenditures; 3.
Pay off Debt so fast as may be, reducing the
surplus in the Treasury for that purpose A.
Fund the Debt in a specie paying, non taxable

RAILWAY---HuRRAHi

The people in the sou theastern portion OF
Lyon county can now their hopes, SO long
deferred, almost fulfilled.
Messrs. Post, SpOOner & Drew have the con-
tract for the grading from EmpOria to Bur-
lingtOn. They are in town now with the first
installment OF their hands, ready to go to work
Immediately.
The grading and mason work Is intended TO
be done to Burlington in October, and the iron
laid to EmpOria the same month.
There will be u force Of hands put to work
on the heavy grading southeast of Hartford
very soon.
The stOrekeepers and farmers of this neigh
bOrhOOd should be prepared to furnish the rail-
road hands with whatever they need MS cheap
ly 1t can be obtained elsewhere, and get u
part OF the money that must be expended, and
thus begin to enjoy q fOretaste of the benefit of
the road.
In a conversation that heard between some
OF the prominent citizens and railway men,
learned that q new outlet to the great East
may be confidently expected before the close of
next year.
With the abundant harvest already gather
ed, the still larger one to be gathered in the
autumn, and the flattering future now in our
reach, has hushed the noise and complaint
sometimes heard I'm new country, and even
abashed eur most inveterate croakers.

There will be an examination for teachers
held on the last Saturday Of August, 1869, in

as he may teach, not included in his certif-

THE FIRST POWER PRESS IN THE
NEOsHO VALLEY.
Growth Of the News once. =
Our New Power Press.

Our new press is now con its taps'' and in
full running order. 1t is OF the manufacture
OF George Taylor q S. Z. Rounds, OF Chicago,
Illinois. We can't tell, yet, what the charae-
ter OF its work is, but it has a better reputa-
ton than any country press in the market
We did not so soon expect TO sport a power
press, costing S1,7OO, but our work now
demands it.
We desire, here, TO return our heartfelt
thanks to our friends, Harry Norton, Major Z.
II. Bancroft, Col. p. b. Plumb, Major Wright,
Profs. Kellogg and Norton and Others who
assisted us so much in raising the material
aid" to procure the press. The first named
gentleman, in particular, treated us very lib
orally and handsomely in this case, as he has
done in all others since he took up his resi-
dence here. Had it not been for these gentle
men we could not now have ''raised the wind"
as the saying is, to procure the press, and we
therefore feel under lasting obligations to them
for their assistance and friendship. We hope
to be able TO please them with a little better
printing than they have heretofore had, and
also to do away with those Yexatious delays
which all our patrons have suffered to some
extent.
To our kind neighbOrs who assisted in put
ting up the press we also return thanks. Many
Of them worked hard for hours TO get ''the
machine" in proper order. We conclude that
all are rejOiced at the growth Of THE NEWS
office, and at the fact that EmpOria has ad-
Vanced to that stage which requires the in
production Of so fine piece of machinery in
their midst.
This Is the first power press in the Neosho
Valley! We feel just little proud Of that!
In fact, 1t is the first power press south Of the
kaw River! We had intended to have some
"doins" over its advent, but the railroads
and the boys in the office stole u march on us
and got the press here before we returned. |
We wanted to have out the brass band and !
the American flag. But it was no use after |
It was all over and everybody had seen ''the |
animal ;"
We hope to be able TO make further i'm
provements in our paper and printing estab-
ishment so fast our friends give us the
means.
