THE TINES.

The complaint of "hard times" is |
universal in Kansas. The plead
ings for hard times to "eome again |
no more" have been entirely disre-
garded, and the fates seem to care
nothing for the fulfillment of the |
predictions in relation to the ''good
time coming" which has been on
the road SO long. This condition
of things does not exist alone in
Kansas, from what we can learn,
but infiicts the country at large.
How long this is to last not even
the shrewdest of our financiers
dares to predict.
There is no doubt but that the
Presidential campaign has some
thing to do with the scarcity of
money. Capital is timid, and under
the feeling of uncertainty as to
what the financial policy of the
government is to be for the next
four years, it seeks the vaults, rath-
CIR than the channels of trade. 1t
takes but q breath of unfavorable
news often to send the cowardly
capitalist to his hiding place. Could
those who control the monied in
terests at the centers of trade feel
that there was to be no change in
the administration, even were the
policy not such as all financiers
could endorse, there would be q
greater feeling of security than now
exists, and money would be plen-
tier. Grant has given the country
peace and quiet, and it is a fact, we
believe, that the monied men have
confidence in him, and are willing
to trust him with a Se-election.
On the other hand, there is a gener-
al feeling that the financial affairs
of the country would be decidedly
unstable in the event of the election
of Mr.. Greeley. He is as uncer-
tain as O March wind in everything
else, and it is hardly probable he
could be trusted to manage finances.
at least the effect of the campaign
is that the money is locked up in
the eastern cities and will probably
remain there until the new admin
istration comes in, and if Greeley
succeeds, for many months longer.
Kansas has raised good crops,
leaving out fall wheat. All her
productive interests are in good
condition, and are developing rap
idly. She feels the loss of her fall
wheat crop more seriously than any
thing else. But we have enough OF
everything to supply the demands
of our people, and while money
may continue scarce for a year or
more, there is plenty to eat and
wear, and no cause for trouble.
We arc as well of, in all respects,
as most other States, We shall
simply have to wait with patience q
favorable turn of affairs to give
us more cash. The less grumbling
we do, and the harder we work to
build up every interest of the State,
the better we will flourish, both as
a community and as individuals.
Pay your debts, contract habits OF
economy, pay cash as you go, plant
and SOW, be cheerful, and it will be
well with all when the good time
does come.

STATE NORMAL INSTITUTE.

In compliance with the wishes OF
many teachers in different parts OF
the State, an institute for the bene-
fit of teachers of public schools,
will be held in the new building OF
the State University at Lawrence,
during four weeks in the month of
August next.
The Institute will commence at
8 o'clock a. m, August 9th, and end
at II M, August 31st, 1872.
The course of instruction will
consist of q carefully digested series
of lessons in botany, zoology, draw
ing, vocal music, geography, arith-
metic, and theory and practice of
teaching-all adapted to instruc-
ton in common schools.
Students will be required to write
down neatly, IN a prescribed form,
in Aote books, outlines of all the
lessons studied by them during the
session Of the Institute.
No student will be allowed to
have more than Eve nor less than
three Rotations daily.
Studies selected at the opening of
the term must be steadily pursued
% the close.

There is lasting water power

DESTRUCTION OF LIFE FROM HEAT.

The week ending July 9th will
not soon be forgotten in our large
eastern cities. The heat was the
most terrible in it's fatal effects on
human life ever known. Its fame
will be equal to that of 'tBlack Fri
day" or the week of riots during the
war. From kilograms and exchan-
ges we learn that the mortality re-
ports from New York, Brooklyn
and Philadelphia are absolutely ap-
palling. No such death record has
ever before been made in any three
cities of the Union. The following
is a succinct exhibit of the mortality
of the cities named during the first
six days of the month: New York
had 1860 deaths, against it's weekly
average of $40 for tho first six
months of the year; Philadelphia.
had 764 deaths against its weekly
average of 420, and Brooklyn had
67O deaths against its weekly aver
age of 232. The death-rate of New
York for the week ending July 9th
was equal to S41 per 1000 per an
mum the average for tho preceding
six months being 1872 per 1000.
The death rate of Philadelphia for
the week was 81 per 1000; the aver
age for the ak months previous be-
ing 3l.4 per 1000; while the death
rate of Brooklyn touched the as
figure ofS6.4 per 1.000 per
annum, or nearly three times the ave-
erage of the six months. viz: so per
900.
The single gratifying feature
about this terrible exhibit is the
fact that contagious diseases had
nothing at all to do with the high
rate of mortality. Both in New
York and Brooklyn the number of
deaths from diseases of the zymotic
type was below the average, and the
same appears to be true of PhiIadel-
phia. In the latter city more than

A nice young man in Cleveland,

deaths were those sE minors, and of
these 274 deaths are ascribed to
cholera infantum. Both in Brook
lyn and New York we have no
doubt thot the proportion of deaths
is even greater.
Tho week ending July Is, gives
a better report. The heat has been
less intense, and the record of deaths
and prostration from sunstreke is
considerably below that of The pre-
Vious week. The situotion is still
