A BIG DEBT WIPED OUT.-The records
of the United States Court show that
over $2,000,000 of debts have been dis
charged by parties in Kansas, under the
bankrupt law. I'm most Instances, these
debts hung over parties who are enter
prising and efficient business men, but
who, years ago, were overwhelmed by
misfortunes and failures, but who, by
the wise and beneicent provisions OF
that act, are now able to regain their
former business prosperity. The Re
publican party has done much for the
relief of the oppressed: and among
not the least of its relief measures, was
the bankrupt act.

STATE PRINTER.-Father Baker, of the
State Record, advocates the election OF
his partner, s. d. Mcdonald, ESQ.,,
Mac is clever fellow, and deserves all
the parental Baker says of him, and will
be elected if he gets votes enough.
That however depends upon the judg-
ment of the Legislature. Father Baker
naively adds that he is "now speaking
to the people of Topeka" when talking
about the printer question. This would
seem to indicate that, in Father Bakers
mind, locality should have something 70
do with the question We are happy to
testify that we have never known the
good people Of Topeka to be governed
by such considerations. They general
" feel that Topeka is the capital of the
State, and consequently that her citizens
should not act from local or selfish con-
siderations.-Ht0te .E0aTa0I.

From and after the LIST of this month
any letter or package of mail matter
can be registered and sent to any post
Office within the limits of the United
States for fifteen cents in addition to
the ordinary rates of postage, instead of
twenty, as heretofore. This is so cheap
that anybody who has extraordinary
interest in the safe delivery of letter
to its address, can remove almost all
anxiety on this account for the. small
sum of fifteen cents. 1t is Of course
still safer to send money by obtaining
a money order, to all places where there
are money order offices. But to local
tiles where there are none, valuable or
important letters should always be reg
