YOU TELL!

Some ono writing from Cheyenne
says society is very much demoralizcd
there. At mid day, women respectfully
dressed and goOd-lOoking, may be seen
in saloons, smoking cigars and drinking
whiskcy mt the bars with men, and
chatting and joking with them as il
they were all one sort, and the thing
attracts no attention for stiangcness. y
woman comments OH this, in the Phil
adclplia Press, and asks what is tile
moral difference between Il lunch of the
'Wonian's Club at Dclnonico's, and
Bologna sausage and gin at Cheyenne:
In one case you see the stark bare hide

THE CROPS.

The report for the months of May
and JuIe, issued by the U. 5. Agricul-
tural Bureau, shows a high average
condition of the wheat-and the pros
poets of an abundant crop, it is asserted,
are very favorable. Rye, barley and
other grains are reported to be i'll find
condition. Barley has been sOwn over
a wider area, particularly in California
and the states west of the Mississippi
river. Oats have been moro extensive
ly planted in Michigan, Wisconsin,,
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, but not to
the usual extent in the Ohio Valley.
Corn planting, it is stated, has every
where been retarded by excessive rain
and cold, and replanting has been nrc
quired in many instances. The crop is,
therefore, backward, but generally Wig
orous, with a prospect of n fair yield.
Cotton planting has been stimulated by
the high prices of 1865, and Il wider area
has been cultivated. In the Southern
states, however,, the first reports of the
cotton crop were unfavorable, on ac-
count of the cold and uniayoTablc
weather of the spring. Later reports
are more favorable, and thetIot weather,
it is stated, is producing great change
in the prospects. Sorghum has been
cultivated very largely for syrup, aud
IN some cases for sugar. The small
fruits have been unusually abundant in
New Jersey and Delaware, but in the
West the crop will only be fair, and u
short supply is threatened in tho South,
where in some localities untimcly rrosts
nipped the buds.

POLITICAL REFORM.

It ia n noteworthy fact that new
regime is being inaugurated III the
management of our political and State
affairs. SINCE the nomination of Grant
for President, there seems to be IL desire
on the part of our public men, to do
away with the public proiligacy that
has hither characterized the manage
mcnt of our State Government. The
policy of retrcnchment and reform,
adopted by our last Legislature, seems
10 have been contagious, and We are
assured from all sources that the people
arc DESTROYS of following out this line
of policy IN the selection of State,
County and municipal officers. Public
opinion seems to have arrived ut the
conclusion that no more dishonest men
shall be elected to office and that the
public acts of those who now hold
Office shall be thoroughly scrutinizcd.
SeveI1ll of the leading papers of the
State have taken up this subject and are
thoroughly vcntilating the acts of some
of our public men and the consequence
is, that general ground swelr' is cx-
pressed all over the State.
If newspapers are not the leaders of
public opinion they are at least the re-
Aection of the feeling That pervades the
public mind hence, by the course pur-
sued by many Kansas papers of late, we
are led TO believe that this reform is
really going on and that hereafter more
interest will be taken by the people in
the selection Of men for Offices of trust.
Men have not been elected to Office in
this State on account of their qualities
tions, or personal popularity, but it has
been too often the case that few as
pirants have succeeded in packing the
primary meetings; thus securing the
nomination of some of the most dis
honest men there are to be found in the
State.
This is all wrong and we hope that
the days of dishonesty and corruption
in Kansas have forever passed. Let the
voice Of the people be heard in the
management of our affairs and we arc
sure that our State will be much better
governed than heretofore.

The Topeka Record says il will be re-
membered that the last Legislature au-
thoriZed the issuing of State bonds to
the amount of 100000, if it should be
deemed necessary In the opinion of the
Governor, to protect the frontier against
Indians. He has been obliged to call
out troops, and the bonds are now being
prepaI ed. But $4,000 will be sold uli-
less further depredatioHs require it.
TIE VIRGINIA ELECTIoN.- Official

and had TO be rescued by the whites.

WHAT TO DRINK.

a sensible article in the last Phreno-
logical ,JomInoi, OH the subject of What
TO Drink" contains the following i'll re-
gard to hot weather drinks:
''The warm season, now upon us, will
increase our thirst. Water, pure water,
will be too thin for those who chew or
smoke tobacco, and they will want
something that they can 'taste'-some-
thing pnngent, something bitter, tin

crave in whisky, with iusil oil i'll it. OF

too much. Nor should it be drank OH

tea, coffee, or water, with our meals,
the better. Very hot drinks are bad.
We are liable to take cold on going out

PLEASANT HILL ROAD.


The contracts let on the Pleasant Hill
road insure its speedy construction.
For Lawrence, and indeed for all South
ern and Southwestern Kansas, this is
one of the most Important roads that
could possibly be secured. 1t insures
the delivery of freight to Lawrence AS
cheap rs to either Leavemworth or Kan
sas City. This is the contract, and il
makes Lawrence the commercial trade
center for Il vast scope of country. 1t
practically shortens the distance of
Southern and Southwestern Kansas 40
miles to the Eastern markets, aud adds
largely 10 the development of large
portion Of the State. In considerably
less than twelve months this important
line of road will be finished and thrown
open 10 the business of the country.
The Emporia and Oskaloosa roads will
soon follow. Lawrence must, and soon
will, have her seven railroads. There
is magic in the musical seven, and no
effort must be spared until we get the
roads.-AepuLiic0n ,JOuTRai.

IMMIGRATION.

Immigrants are coming into the State
at the rate of about two hundred per
day, or sixty thousand per aDnum. A
steady flow of passengers from the
States and from Europe is likely to con-
Time until winter sets in, and we think
the estimate above stated is not too
high. We believe the addition will be
fully 5000 monthly exclusive Of those
who come for pleasure or temporary
purposes. The larger number OF those
whom we may expect here will doubt
less become farmers, or subscrve the
farming interest. III this respect tile
present Immigration here will differ
Aom that of the past. Heretofore, advcn-
anre, speculation, hopes of securing sud-
den wealth has beer the ruling motive o f
Immigration. The State is now known
throughout the civilized world as con-
tanning bOundIess resources. The pro-
ductiyeness of her soil, the variety and
perfection of her fruits, the vast area OF
her land susceptible of tillage and her
saInbriOus climate, are themes known
and discussed in every hamlet from the
Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic sea-
board. The spirit of immigration is
now revived with the intention of per-
manent settlement. Capital will come
here and engage more largely in COM
niercc and manufactures. The streams
that llow down to the father of waters"
will be utilized to propcl machinery for
manufacturing purposes.
With such a climate, soil, and such a
combination of natural advantages, now
30 we'll knewn aud the State so accessible,
steady influx of settlers may be antic-
ipatcd for years to come. We are
emerging from infancy into that vigor-
Gus manhood which has characterized
the progress of many of the United
States. The prosperity we have SO long
waited for is upon us aud our future
SUCCESS as State is assured.

HOOD AT PAOLA.

! The Times and Conservative Of yes
terlay has a long account of food at
i PaOla. 1t says: Last Sunday morn
ing il was The scene Of Wild excitement.
L On Saturday night about ten o'clock a
heavy rain commenced to fall, and con
| tinueh IA torrents for several hours.
But still PaOla retired and slept souBdly,
little expecting the terrible results of
Z the falling waters. At daylight citizens
/ having property near the depot were
aroused TO receive the starilin. ihtelIi-
eence that Bull creek was rising rapid
~, threatening destruction TO life and
property in The bottom. On arriving
at the depot fearful sight met The eye.
As far as vision extended the rising
waters reached. The stores west of the
depot, erected by Snyder & Larkin,
were surrounded by water, as well as
the boarding houses and farm houses
beyond. In the timber, close to the
. creek, men, women and children, and
aI'iIII;ils were ciiIIgiHg to trees or clus-
tering OH points of high ground. The
surface OF the water was dotted with
household articles, which had come
down with the food, and the water was
still ri ing, while high above the confu-
sion cries of distress were heard in cv-
cry direction.
Almost without warming, about day
light, the rushing water had forced tam
lilies 10 leave their houses and take TO
trees or hastily constructed RATS. No
! time was had for moving valuabies or
household goods, and not unfrcquentIy
tile uuGOrtuinttes saw their houses and
homes, the accumulation of years, dis
appear in the flood.
Every moment the water rose high
err, and every moment OF delay increased
the danger To the devoted victims of the
food. But the citizens lost but little
time, and soon had several rtfts and
skiflS OH the inland sea. Brave men
manned them, and soon hastily con-
structed lifc-bOats began TO land their
precious freight amid the cheers of the
enthusiastic multitude. Men stripped
themselves and pushed little RATS for IL
long distance through the drift " God
and brush 10 any unfortunate needing
their assistance. BY nine o'clock all
PaOla was astir, each citizen dom" his
utmost TO alleviate the general distress.
1t was then ascertaincd that the storm
had extended i'll every direction in the
vicinity of the town. Wca creek was
OH the rampage; Bull creek was mile
or two wide ut any point, while Ten
Mile creek Oh the north was reported
as having risen thirty feet. South and
west of town boats were busy nearly
all day patrolinS the overlooked bot
toms. By noon PaOkl looked like an
immense lake. but the waters had then
reached their hight and soon com
menced TO subsidc. BY dark the flood
| had fallen Il foot, Yesterday morning
several feet more, and by the time this
reaches our readers the flood at PaOIa
will have become thing of the past.
Paola has hal II fearful sensation, which
we hope will never be repC atcd.
The lives of two children were lost,
and the loss of property toots up heav-
