Senators Pomeroy, and Caldwell and
Congressman Lowe, as well as other
dignitaries, promise to treat themselves
to visit to Southern and Southwestern
Kansas during the summer. We are
glad to hear this, because they will get
their eyes open to a realization of what
the country is south and southwest of
the Neosho Valley. From Washing
ton standpoint the Neosho and its
towns have heretofore been regarded as
the extreme southern outposts. Even
now it is with doubt that some of the
gentlemen above named receive infor-
nation that there are counties along the
south line of the State with eight and
ten thousand inhabitants. and that the
portion of country to which we allude
is settling up at a far more rapid rate
than any other in the State. An
extended visit through the south and
southwest viii do them good. They
will be treated we'll and will become
acquainted with the people and theiI
wants. Besides they will have an Op.
portunity of seeing the best portion O
the fair land they represent.

EXCURSION TO KANSAS.

We have before us circnlar from o.
III. Burbridge and L. NJ. Clark, of Gov

excursion from Cincinnati to all the
points along the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad. The party will leave
the latter city on the Goth inst, and will
be composed of people from Kentucky,
southern Ohio, and such other localities
as may join them. 1t will pass over

The reduction of taxes is a matter
which demands the earliest and most
earnest attention of Congress. We are
glad that Senator Sherman proposes to
inquire into the subject. He is conf
dent that the entire annual expenditures
of the Government, including interest
on the public debt, can be reduced to
two hundred and seventy millions OF
dollars. And in this he Includes TWEEN
ty-five millions as sinking fund for
the gradual payment of the public debt.
This will make it possible to reduce
the taxes at the next session of Con-
gress, from thirty to fifty millions. The
reduction should be made, by all means,
if it can be done without injury, to the
interests of the country, and we believe
it can.

The Chicago Tribune criticises Com
missioner Parker's proposals for Indian
goods on account of the condition, ''that
the supplies advertised for must be de-
livered at the agencies, and there in

course, thrown back OH the hands of
the contractor, at point where their
value has been doubled, trebled, or
quadrupled by transportation.charges-
in short, where the rejection of a con-

The University boat race has become
an annual event in England, so that
Londoners look forward to it with as
much interest and invest it with about as
much importance as we in this country
feel in a Presidential election. The
usual course is from Putney to Mort
lake, and the last race came off on the
first of this month in the presence of a
vast multitude of people. Before last
year Oxford had beaten Cambridge a
great many times in succession, but at
that time she come off, to the glory of
Cambridge, second best, and at the BAN
quet which followed Charles Dickens
made one of the best impfomptu
speeches ever uttered. On the first day
of April last the interest was intense, as
both crews had carefully and thorough
ly trained themselves for the contest.
There was close work of it but Cam
bridge again came off victor, and Ok
ford will have to begin to train anew
! for the next annual race.

We clip from an exchange the follow

ago from Tehama county, to which they
emigrated during the war. Mrs. Brown

English, Democratic candidate for
Governor in the late Connecticut cleo
ton, telegraphed to the notorious
Tweed, of Tammany: "DO not disap-
point us: nothing could be more disas-
trous." 1t was denied that any aid was
given, but our dispatches of Wednesday
show Tammany tracks in one hundred
illegal votes p0lled at one place. This
disposes of the question at once, as it is
stronger proof than thousand denials
by Tweed. So after all Jewell is elect
ed, which makes the victory complete,

Avoid Consumption.

No enemy OF the human race is more to be
dreaded, and is more insiduous in its approach
es, than that too fatal and generally prevalent
arch-destroyer Of health and happiness of
myriads-"COnsumption in its CHASTITY form.''
The duty of all is to guard against its first ad-
vances. This may be done by the timely use
of EDWARD WILDER's COMPOUND EXTRACT
OF WILD CHERRY, preparation especially
recommended as afording certain relief for all
Pulmonary Complaints. Before it Coughs,
Colds, and Catarrhs rapidly disappear. 1t
affords prompt and decided comfort in cases OF
Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and Asthma or Phthis-
ic. Likewise, it is of the highest use in
relieving the difficult breathing and distress
ing cough of those afflicted with Consumption.
In all cases of Pneumonia or Winter Fever it
is indispensable. 1t has no equal in taste, effi-
cheney, and power. Wherever used it has not
only given present relief, but effected perma-
nent cures.

The Seneca Courier mentions, as a
fact worthy of note, that the members
of the First Congregational Church OF
Albany, Kansas, pay annually four per
cent. on the assessed valuation of their
property, for religious purposes. More
than this there was not a dissenting
voice among said members when a prop
osition was lately submitted to levy a
new tax of one and three. fouTths per
cent. in addition to two and half per
cent. already levied in that district for
school purposes, for the current year.

DREADFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-J.
L. Thompson, a well known Insurance
Agent, of Atchison, was instantly kill
ed, on Friday, at Winthrop, opposite
that city, by being run over by the cars.
There were two trains leaving together,
aud he having got on the wrong one,
attempted to jump off while it was GO
ing at rapid speed, but fell on the track,
and the wheels passed over his body
lengthwise.
This is another warning which will not
be needed. In travelling on the cars we
have often wondered that the accidents
were so few, when we have seen the
carelessness and rashness of passengers.
When the cars stop at a station, we see
persons who want TO stop there, never
begin to gather their baggage to get of
until the bell rings for the train to start.
Others are in the habit of getting off at
every station, to talk with somebody,
or to gawk around, and do not attempt
to get aboard until the last car passes
along. Such operations, it seems to us,
are intended to "show of, as much as
anything else, and it is strange that ma
ny accidents do not happen in this way.
