The CONCERT LAST EvRNrNe.-The
testimonial concert benefit given to
Miss Amelia Young last evening at
Piper's Opera House was we'll attend
ed and a very enjoyable occasion
much more so than many anticipated.
The programme Of entertainment en-
braced a goodly number Of popular
and pleasing songs, by various volun-
teer singers, all OF whom succeeded
very Mechanically so. Miss Young
sang Fashion on the Brain" and
"Josie Lee Z" very sweetly, and In ex-
cellent style, calling forth plenty of
applause. Mrs. Sauer sang better than
we ever heard her before, and her one
of 'sGuess Who" was most heartily
aud deservedly encored. Miss Annie
Davis sang dreaming Of Home and
Mother" with chorus by the other
singers behind the scenes, In pleasing
style and with good effect. Robert
Phillips sang the popular song Of Ten
Thousand Miles Away" In character.
and was loudly encored, but did not
succeed quite so we'll with the ballad
he sang in response. r. H. Lindsay
also gave some Of his favorite songs,
and George Elston ("Butch "D APP
peared in Ethiopian song and dance.
The most pleasing feature Of the
evening, however, wa Miss Grob in
her song of "Give Ne a Penny" given
in character. The audience responded
with a perfect shower Of silver coir,
which kent the little lady busy far
some time nickinp IL IN. She did a
very lucrative business-much better
than su~pplicants for charity generally
do. Little Eta Adams displayed a
very precocious degree of talent In her
character songs, and she received a
very liberal amount of applause. The
grand chorus at the close was well
given, and the audience went home
we'll pleased and satisfied.

letter from a friend residing at Old

The first shock Of winter tells tremendously

in passing from a warm region to a cold one, or

All travellers and voyagers admit this. It Is
equally necessary to acellmate the system In

Of the colds, catarrh and pulmonary complaints
which prevail In winter might be avoided by

THE NEW PRINCIPAL.

Hon. Geo. w. Hoss has formally ac-
copied the place of Principal ofthe State
Normal School. Mr.. Hoss was for eight
years teacher of mathematics in the
North Western Christian University,
Indiana, and resigned that chair to ac-
cept the Office of State Superintendent,
to which position he was elected by the
people in 1866. He declined a renomina-
ton for the Office of State Superintend-
ent in 1867. In July, 1858, the Board
of Trustees of the Indiana State Uni
versity elected him to the position which
he now holds, to-wit: Prof. of English
Literature and the Theory and Practice
Of Teaching. He was the author of the
law establishing and governing the State
Normal School of Indiana, and is editor
ofthe STATE School Journal. Prof. Hoss
is a man about forty years of age, good
personal appearance, pleasant address,
a thorough scholar and christian
gentleman. He says, in writing to a
friend in regar' 70 his new position, 81

PROTECTION.

1t has long been favorite hobby OF
the Democracy that the policy of Pro-
lection is highly detrimental to the in
forests of the Western States, because,
as their leaders say, It tends to make the
capitalists of the Eastern States richer,
and the agricultural States Of the West
poorer. The most himsy pleas are
brought to bear to make tenable their
position. The Republican policy of SO
arranging duties on imports as to rem
der protection to the industries Of this
country is one which for wise regard
for the development OF our own re-
sources, has never been surpassed by
our law-makers. The capitalists OF
England, in conjunction with the Dem
ocratic party of this country, have been
indefatigable in their endeayors to bring
about Q reduction of the taFif, which

SUSPENSION.

This is the last of The Daily Emporia
Nesos for the present.
We shall stop for two months, at
the end of which time we shall renew
again, If the people desire US TO do so,
and are ready to foot the bills.
We have patronage enough to run
the daily, but there is too much trust.
If we could collect our bills regularly,
and closely, at tie end of each month,
we would go right along with the
Daily. After several months of trial
we find that we cannot run a daily
paper on trust Printers won't take
trust. Paper dealers won't take it.
When we go out with a thousand
dollars in bills to collest, and only
get four hundred of the amount, and
keep this thing up for several months,
we find ourselves rapidly drawing near
the little end of the horn, financially.
We have done this thing too muchly.
We have been squeezed little to
hard.
The fact is, this town is too small
for daily paper. The people are
keeping up three weeklies, and are
taxed to death for newspapers.
They cannot afford three weeklies
and a daily; and We cannot afford
to run it, except on cash basis. We
have lost already about $1,000 in our
efforts to sustain it. We have kept il
up for months at q loss, hoping some
thing would turn mp to put it on 9
basis where it would pay its way,
That is all we hoped for or expected
the first two years.
We take this step reluctantly, but
necessity compels it. We shall senc
the Weekly to all Daily subscriber
until further notice. All advance pay
ments will be credited on Weekly sub
scription or refunded, as subscribers
may direct.
We trust all will continue to tax,

result would unquestionably be to the
interest of foreign manufacturers. But
how has our present protective system
worked with regard to the manufacture
ing interests of the United States? 1t
has enabled US to successfully compete
with those of foreign countries, as to
the price and quality of articles, and in
very many instances, far surpass them
in excellence. In reference TO the mat
ter of the superiority OF our machinery
and our ability TO furnish goods cheaper
than Europe can afford to, the London
Times says:
at this moment Birmingham is losing its old
market. A few years ago II used to supply the
implements and various smaller wares. 1t
does so no longer, nor is the cause to be sought
merely In the American traffic. 1t is found
that the manufacturers OF America supersede
US not only in their own but foreign Inarkets
and IN our own colonies, and the Bennington
Chamber has the sagacity to discover and the
courage 70 declare that this is owing to the su-
per1or wages OF the English artisan. those of
an American artisan are higher still, and vet
the manufacturers Of the United States can
import iron and steel from this country at q
heavy duty. work up the metal by highly paid
labor, and beat US out OF the market after all
with the manufactured articles. How Is that
70 be explAinedi The Americans succeeded
and excellence OF make. They do not attempt
70 undersell US in the matter Of price. Our
goods may still be the cheapest but they are
no longer the best, and in the country where
an axe for instance, is an indispensable impIe-
ment, the best article is the cheapest, whatev-
er i may cost. Settlers and emigrants soon
Ind this out, and they have found IT out to the
prejudice OF Bennington trade.
Thus it will be seen that the TEmes
acknowledges the superior advantages
of American manufactures over those
of its own country. Plainly we could
not have had this prestige had it not
been, and were it not now, for a wise
policy which protects home manufac-
lures, thereby enabling them to make
better articles than are turned ont from
the old country. 1t is mystery to us
that the leaders of party, in the face
Of palpable facts to the contrary, per.
sist in prating about how much more
he has to pay for knife, a saw, an axe
or hat of home manufacture than he
is obliged to pay for such articles OF
foreign make. But suppose st be the
case, we have from high authority that
the purchaser gets much superior az.
ticle.
We are now in high state of pros.
perity, and in a largo degree our pros
perity Is attributable to the policy
adopted by the government in regard
to the tariff. Time has demonstrated
the wisdom of this policy, and the
American people should not suffer it tc
be supercedei by one less stringent.

How SOLDIERS ARE CHEATED OUT OF
THEIR LAND WAERAHTs.-Speculation
has been going on some time in military
land warrants, which circulars from the
general land Office will put an end to.
Parties having filed claims for warrants
would be informed by some person
whom they supposed to have means of
learning in the department, or at any
rate they would be impressed with the
belief that there was little chance of
their claim being allowed. The way
being thus paved for a good bargain,
the applicant would be induced to make
an assignment of his warrant in ad.
vance OF its issue, with date in blank
to be filed up when the warrant had
been obtained, the price paid being in
sufficient, of course, on account of the
pretended risk. 1t is, moreover, not
unlikely that the purchasers had infor-
nation in advance of the probable sue
cess of the application in any particular
case which they entered upon. 1t is
not known how extensively this fraud
has been practiced, nor how many
claimants have thus been swindled.

Lev RAILROAD.

We spoke few weeks ago of the in
corporation Of the above company. In
another place to-day we give the pro-
ceedings of the meeting ofthe incorpo-
rators.
The company is now fully organized,
and we trust work will DO commenced at
once. Surveyors should be on the route
Immediately, especially from here down
the Walnut Valley.
This road will connect with the Hol-
den and the Kansas City 6 Santa Fe
roads at Ottawa and run from there up
the Marias de Cygne Valley to Arvonia !;
from there up Coal creek to the Neosho
Valley at Neosho Rapids; thence up
the Cottonwood Valley via Emporia,
and across to the Walnut Valley via
South Fork thence down the Walnut
Valley to Arkansas City. It already
has SIZE, 600 of bonds In Franklin and
Usage counties, and it is believed that
Lyon, Butler and Cowley counties will
each give 100000. There is no more
important route under consideration in
the State. Propositions will immedi-
ately be submitted for aid in the coun-
ties through which il passes where il
hiss not already been voted.
To the people of the Walnut Valley
this road offers better advantage than
any other proposition now before them
Were it built, they would have, from
here, two routes to Chicago, one by
.,,o., - 7 .,.,~o,,ca av6 Iaax1orNuOrkh and
the other via Topeka and Atchison. On
both routes bridges are to be construc-
ted over the Missouri river, at an early
day. They would also have from here
direct route to st. Louis. AT Ottawa
the people of the Central and Southwest
portions OF the State would have COM
peting lines to Chicago and st Louis
This route offers to the people of the
Walnut and Cottonwood Vallies better
facilities than any other route named
It proposes grand trunk line for nj
this portion of the State, with numer.
GUS connections. Cars could be loaded
with freight in the eastern cities and
run through to ali points in the Walnut
and Cottonwood Valley over one of the
three OF four routes, without change OF
breaking of bulk. There is nothing
to-day which viii do moro TO build NJ
