FROM CllESWELL.

MESsRs EDITORS: For the benefit Of those OF your
readers who are interested in hearing from Cress-
well, give you what items OF interest have from
that very modern city Inquiries are constantly
being made as to the chance Of obtaining good
claims in the Vicinity Of Cresswell. To all such
anxious inquirers would say, that within radius
Of eight miles from the town site there are stin
large number Of excellent claims remaining ua-
touched, composed Of choice bottom and timbered
lands, lying ON tbs Arkansas and Grouse and .
nameless creek on the south side OF the former
The distance from Cresswe to the state line meas
uring down the Arkansas river is from twelve 70
thirteen miles. the river leaving the State two and
three-fourths miles below the mouth Of the Grouse
Not more than four i've claims are taken in this
whole distance a large number OF fine claims can
be found here on both sides Of the river, many OF
them being well timbered especially those in the
vicinity Of the mouth OF the Grouse, and from
there down TO the State line. Up the Arkansas ex-
celient bottom claims be found On both sides Of
the river, but timber is be had except Cotton
wood and Black Jack. South Of the Arkansas
about i've miles from the mouth of Walnut is .
Gne creek, whose name We do not know, running
nearly parallel with the Arkansas in q south east
eFly direction and entering it near the state line
probably little below. This Is abeartifsI stream

THE FUNDING BILL.


No other feature of the present adj
ministration deservedlY popular in ey-
cry respect ELECTS such hearty commend
alton from the people than the manner
in which the finances have been con-
Quoted. 4 steady and rapid decrease
of the national debt has been effected.
Gen. Grant was exceedingly fortunate
in the selection OF Secretary of the
Treasury. No better choice could have
been made. So wise has been the
course pursued by him that it has not
been necessary for Congress to take
much action with regard to the finances.
Probably the wisest thing it could have
done would have been to have had no
action upon them whatever. But Con-
gressmen generally seem to think that
the people expect them to touch, whether
for the better or for the worse, every
possible question within the range of
legislation, and SO they have been dab
bling somewhat with the finances.
The Senate has recently passed what
is called the Funding Bill. This is an
instrument which provides for the issue
of new bonds at lower rate of inter
est than the old ones, and the object of
their issue is to supplant the outstand-
ing bonds which bear higher rate of
interest. 1t contemplates an issue of
81 zoo, 100000 bonds as follows: $780,
0O0, 600 of 1O-40 year bonds, bearing
per cent. coin interest, for disposal for
coin at par value, or in exchange for
$40 bonds of equal aggregate value
$500, 100000 of 1910 year bonds, bear
ing ~ per cent. coin interest for SINH
lar disposal; and $4OO,O00OO0 of 20-4C
year bonds, bearing per cent. coin in
terest, to be disposed of in like manner
The Secretary of the Treasury is au-
thorized to make farther issue of The
last named bonds, whenever in his
judgment it becomes desirable to do SO
provided the aggregate debt of the
United States is not thereby increased
These bonds are entirely free from tax
alton. Agents are to be appointed 70
the negotiation of the bonds, and one
half of one per cent. is appropriated t.
pay the expense of preparing, ISSUING
and disposing of them. One hundre'
and fifty millions of the revenue are t
be annually applied to the reduction O
the debt. National banks are to depos
it with the Treasurer registered bond
of any denomination not less tina
$1,000, as security for their circulation
These are some of the features of thi
bill. In most respects it is wise pre-
! vision and will meet the approval {
the people, should it be passed by tn
= House, and obtaining the President
? signature, become law. Still there
? not much reason to expect that the bi
E will be passed by the House; for til
1 two bodies do not seem to at all agre
e upon the financial policy best to be pei
:. sued. In the meanwhile gold is gradI
: ally declining and the country is rapii
i tending toward resumption of spec
:, payments.

WHISKY TODDY WAITING FOR THE
VERDICT.

On the 4th day of April next the peo-
pie of Emporia will decide who shall
make the laws for the government of
their infant city. If, therefore, the
friends of sobriety and good order de-
sire TO preserve it from the disgraceful
scenes and numerous crimes that inva-
riably result from the practice of dram
drinking multiplied a thousand fold
wherever it is tolerated by license laws,
they must be vigilant in time. If pub
lie saloons and other seductive conven-
fences for the introduction and encour-
agement of rum and rowdyism are not
to be permitted in our midst, it is of
the utmost importance that every OBJ
jector should refuse to support any can
didate for Office who is known to be
identified with the infamous traffic in
any form, shape or manner. Young
Emporia must not be placed in the
keeping of such unsafe nurses. In de-
fiance of law and order Whisky Teddy
is now not unfrequently seen on our
streets in all his hideous deformity, and
if he is is bold enough to insult the
common sense of the community under
pect if the verdict is in his favor at the
birth of our infant city? We have only
to see what he has done and what he is
still doing for poor humanity in every
city, the world over, wherever he has
been tolerated, to know what will be
the fate of this.
Although known to all men in all
ages and and in all places as the most
disorderly and dangerous of all charac-
tiers, creating more crime, causing more
than all other agencies combined.
Strange to say, his friends are legion.
Some of them, doubtless, reside in En-
poria, and are not without hope that
such citizens as are supposed to be fla
vorable to a license law will be put in
office at our first municipal election.
Hence Whisky Teddy is waiting for the
verdict. Neither are the arguments
used by the supporters of license law
altogether unreasonable. They claim
that whisky by the glass or gallon can
be bought at many stores in Emporia,
the proprietors paying no license and
asking no questions; and that there
would be no more consumed under a
system of license than there is now.
But while this way of stating the case
may be entitled to some consideration,
it is, we take it, very far from the truth.
A license authorizing the right to sell
intoxicating drinks necessarily implies
the right to drink them, and since it is
an absolute fact known and acknowl-
edged by all men that they cannot be
drank without producing intoxication,
it implies also the right 10 get drunk.
If this is the case, (and who can deny
it p on what ground can the law pun
ish drunkenness? Prevention, then, is
the most sensible and philosophical
method of dealing with the case. II
after the organization of the city gov
eminent the authorities should decide
on granting license for the sale of liq-
uors, saloons will spring up at every
corner, decentralization and vice of ev-
cry description will follow, and Whisky
Teddy reign triumphant. Emporians
Let the verdict be against him.
DIRECTOR No l.

CITY ELECTION.


The election for city officers takes
place on Monday. When they are elect
ed and sworn in we will be city of the
second class. The officers to be elected
are Mayor, Police Judge, q Marshal
and two Councilmen for each of the
four war.ls into which the city has been
divided by ordinance published else
where. The general law also provides
for the election ola Board of Education
to be composed Of two members from
each ward. This election, however, Is
to be held under a special law passed at
the last session. That law did not pro-
vide for the election of the Board of Ed
ucation, and so It has been decided to
work under the old plan until the next
election. The voting places and judges
of election are announced In another
column. We suppose it is useless TO
urge our people to turn out to this cleo
ton and see to it that good men are put
in the various positions, as there is con-
siderable excitement about the matter,

STATE NEWS.

Yesterday evening, Mr.. Z. c. Beard,
brother of the Messrs. Beard of this
city, met with a serious accident at the
Kansas Pacific depot. Mr.. Beard was
engaged in loading some cultivators on
his wagOn,when the horses attached to
the vehicle became frightened at an ap-
preaching locomotive and train. The
horses started to run, whereupon Mr.
Beard sprang into the wagon and grasp
ed the lines to check them. He saw
that the horses were in danger of cross
ing the track just in front of the loco
motive, and while attempting to jump
from the wagon to save himself, was
precipitated against q freight car with
force enough to fracture one leg badly
and break his arm. Medical aid was
summoned, and the broken limbs dress

Beard was conveyed TO his residence in

A lady in Chicago has applied for
membership of the Board of Trade of
that city. She comes, it seems, worthy
and well qualified. She claims TO pos
sess not only the requisites, but also the
perquisites. She says she has a good
moral character, the eligible age of thir-
ty, and plenitude of greenbacks. The
Chicago Board of Trade gentlemen are
a little disturbed, and scarcely know
what answer to give their fair applicant.
The presence of the lady would work a
revolution so radical regarding many of
their habits-such as elevating their feet
higher than their heads, making use of
profane language, INDUCING in jokes
and stories that are not calculated ''to
point a moral and adorn a tale that,
although they cannot well say her nay,
they are very 10th to say her yea. Mean
while the matter is being debated with
that interest, and considered with that
gravity which its importance demands,
while the country awaits in breathless
suspense the decision which their DELHI
erations shall reach.

The Mound City Sentinel. iaa poin-
ted article on the subject of certain
kind of fault-finding with the work of
the Legislature, says: "Are the legis-
lators of this State, who have inst gone
home, 3 bad set of men? If so, the peo-
pie OF the State are themselves bad.
The legislature has performed many of
its duties well. Tt certainly ratified the
Fifteenth Amendment better than did
its predecessor. 1t made the appropri-
ations for the current year 100000 less
than last year. 1t enacted some general
laws which it seems to us are wise, and
passed many of local character which
we have a right to assume are wise. In
short, we think that one who looks care

it with that of former legislatures, the
comparison will show the last in no un-

themselves at the ballot box, as to
whether they favor female suffrage.
Every woman of 81 years of age, not
otherwise disqualified to vote, may ex-
ercise, if the bill becomes q law, on the
second Tuesday in October next, the
elective franchise in her own case, de-
claring either for or against female suf-

cast are for female suffrage in Ohio,
