TO EUREKA AND BACK.

Friday, 18th inst, in company with
Rev. 7. J. Leak, of Topeka, we drove
across the country to the Norwegian
settlement on Fall River. 1t was Bro
Leaks first drive over the prairies OF
Kansas. He never saw so much un-
occupied land before. He was greatly
astonished, and aside from the hot sun
was delighted with the adventure. But
the hot sun is too much for 'house
plants" Saturday was spent among
the good people near the junction OF
East and West Fall rivers. There are
some good farms in this beautiful VAL
ley. The winter wheat is ripe. The
crops of spring wheat and oats are
promising. The corn is all that a farm
er could ask.
On Sunday we drove down TO Eure-
ka for the purpose of dedicating the
new Methodist church. We met a
good congregation, and listened to a
sermon from Bro. Leak, founded on L
Cor. 2 9, 10. We then raised about two
hundred and sixty dollars to pay the

Somebody has gone to the trouble of
proving that the National Debt express
: ed in one dollar greenbacks would
stretch ten times around the earth and
more than from our globe to the moon.
each greenback dollar is seven inches
in length. Place two thousand millions
OF them in line, and it will be over
two hundred and fifty thousand miles
long. 1t is twenty-five thousand miles
around the earth. The public debt
would therefore make band of green
back dollars that would encircle the
globe more than ten times. 1t is two
hundred and forty thousand miles to
the moon. If this is so, our debt would
make rope of greenback dollars long
enough to cable the moon to the earth,
and have over ten thousand miles to

Mr.. Il. f. Whittemore, of cadetship
notoriety is at the door of the House
of Representatives knocking for read
mission to the seat from which he was
but recently ousted in disgrace. In or
der to re-admit him it will be necessary
for the House to retract its opinion of
him so unanimously concurred in a few
weeks since. 1t then declared that ''his
conduct in the premises has been such
as to show him unworthy of seat in
the House of Representatives, and is
therefore condemned of conduct mn
worthy of Representative of the peo-
pie" How much more worthy is the
gentleman now than at the time of his
expulsion? Has he in the few weeks
that he has been spending in South Car
olina so earnestly laboring for his re-
election, undergone so radical a change
for the better as to have removed the
odium of his previous bad conduct, and
is now able to knock for reinstatement
with clean hands and pure heart
We haven't so much faith in sudden
conversions as in that gradual turning
from bad to good whereby mans con-
science is enabled to reach that exalted
position of moral rectitude where it
never waivers even when made to face
the most formidable temptations to do
wrong. We hope Congress will slam
the door in this rascaPs face. We no.
tice Gen. Logan has made objection to
the swearing in of 4he gentleman, and
the South Carolinian will find it as diff
ficult to enter the door of the House as
it is for the rich man to enter the King
dom of Heaven.
Since writing the above the House by
an almost unanimous vote has refused
Mr.. Whittemore his seat. Good.

The vote last Thursday being adverse
to the issue of bonds for boarding
houses for the benefit of the State Nor
NAL School, petition TO the city conn
ell for new vote is being circulated
and is receiving the signatures of the
leading citizens of the place. 1t will
be presented to that body, no doubt, at
its next meeting. The defeat of the
proposition last week arose from q
Misunderstanding, or rather from igno-
rance of just what results would follow
if the proposition should prove sue
cessful. The citizens complained that
they have no assurance that the money
which the bonds should bring would
complete the boarding houses, and that
they might soon be asked for more
bonds; that they were not assured that
the houses after having once been built
with the city's money should remain the
city's property, nor did they know how
and by whom the interest on the bonds
would be paid. To remove these we'll
founded objections, the petition for q
new vote asks that the proposition be
based on the following provisions: 1st
That the building shall be completed
with the proceeds of the bonds. End
That the boarding house shall be, and
remain the property of the city. Sd
That the interest on the bonds shall be
paid into the city treasury annually by
the institution.
Owing to the indefniteness of the
former proposition the election did no
call forth an expression from more thar
one-fifth of our voting population. W.
do not believe that our citizens will
vote down n proposition manifesto!
necessary for the welfare of the institu
ton which is Emporia's chiefest sourc,
of pride, when it is presented in such ;
shape that it can be voted upon iRtel
ligently. Whatever benefits the school
benefits our town in an equal degree
r We feel confident there will be largi
majority for the bonds at the mex
election.

We have received number or two
of a new paper started at Topeka by j.
F. Cummings, called the Kansas indie
pendent. 1t is issued in the name of
his wife and another woman, we are
told, but j. f. is the responsible head.
We do not know what can be the object
of this enterprise, as Topeka seems to
be well supplied already with good
papers, but the fact that it calls PomerOy
an honest man, and the other fact that
old Tubagutz subscribed and paid in
advance for $50 years, is proof that the
Independent has an object.

We assure that able compiler of adj
jectives and forcible reproducer of tel
egrams, the Atchison Champion, that
we are not mad. We can scarcely re-
collect n period of our lives when we

now are and have been for several weeks
"previous before the present writing"
Neither have we been "pizened" or
bitten by the "tarantula of foolish am
bition." Not bit, Johnny. We no.
ticed, a few weeks ago, in the Champion,
fulsome, .sickening article on Clarke,
in which was this expression: ''He
actually does the work of twenty men,"
There were good many other state
ments in the article just as ridiculous
as the one quoted. Now, our object in
saying that there was no use in the
Champions making n fool of itself TO
prove its devotion TO its master, was
only to do it q kindness. Nothing else
in the world. If the Champion thinks
we are in the least grieved about its
support of Clarke it is laboring under a
mistake. In the first place we do not
care the snap of our finger who it sup
ports. In the second place, we know
any anxiety on that subject would be
useless, Us everybody is well aware that
the Champion belongs to the patronage
ring, and of course will support its
candidates.
We have always had considerable re-
spect for the ChampiOR-(not even en-
gaging in the TRADE against it when it
stuck to johnson so faithful and so long
after he turned rebeD-and we dislike
to see it making itself the subject of
ridicule.
The Champions talk about "Congres-
sional longing" Seats paw" etc, is all
very nice, but can be applied to us more
foFcibly by that paper after we have
made ourselves as ridiculously stupid
as the Champion man has on several
occasions we might mention. Johnny
