The CLIMATE 0 KANSAS.

The large amount of rain we are
getting in Kansas this spring
serves to emphasize some facts in
reference to our climate which eff
fectually contradict the most in
eradicable notion that we are sub
ject to frequent and excessive
drouths. Aside from the one year
of 1860, Kansas never failed, as a
State, to make fair crops. Yet the
memory of that year has stuck to
us, and one will hear the suggcs-
ton of drouth as one of our
drawbacks more frequently than
any other criticism in regard to
the State. The fact is that during
the months crops are growing
May, june, July and August
Kansas has 4 larger average of
rain than almost any State in the
Union. The following table, COM
piled from the records of the agri-
cultural bureau in Washington,
for ten years will show this:

THE N. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE.

NEW. YORK, May 2O.-In the
Methodist General Conference to-
day, DIR. Curry presented a memo
rial from j. 8. Goodenough, former
Superintendent of the printing de-
partment of the book concern, in
which he replies to certain assertions
concerning him in DR.. Lanahan's
report. Mr.. Goodenough contends
that the concern met with no loss
during his superintendent, and al
leges that DIR. Lanahan's motive in
bringing the charges against him
was TO get his own name into paper
business. DIR. Lanaham said Mr..
Goodenough might as well accuse
him of wanting his SON to be an
atheist as to put him into the paper
business.
DR.. Lanaham then charged that
the whole concern, editors, Secreta-
ries and agents, were concerned IN
oil speculati0ns to the detriment of
church, and that j. +. Porter, who
purchased paper for the concern,
was q prison convict. Loud cries Of
order; hear him out, &c.
DIR. Harris said if DIR. LanahRu
alluded to him as one ofthe seereta-
ries engaged in the oil speculations
he was utterly misinformed.
After some further warm discus
sion DIR. Haven, OF Boston, said il
was proper to remark concerning
the charge that Mr.. Porter was .

THE KAW LANDS.


There appears to be some misun-
Outstanding in relation to the Kaw
lands lately brought into market.
We published last December the
bill introduced by Senator Pom
eroy. He wrote a few days ago
that this was the same bill that
had passed both houses of Con
gress and we republished it last
week. On the receipt of word that
the bill had passed many people
went and took claims, both on the
diminished reserve and trust lands.
The Council Grove papers pub
lished different bill, which it is
claimed is the one under which the
settlement is to be made. We
have not seen that bill but it APP
pears that only the trust lands are
in market. 1t is 4 little astonish-
ing that correct information could
not be received on the start, as
many people have been to the
trouble and expense of making
claims on the diminished reserve.
We understand they have been
ordered off from their claims.
AS near as we can learn trust
lands are only for sale at present.
These are to be appraised by a
commissioner sent from Washing
ton, each tract of 100 acres being
appraised separately, and all set
tiers actually occupying the lands
at the time of the appraisement
are to have the same at that APP
praisement, and have one year to
pay for them. All that remains va
cant at the expiration Of one year
from the appraisement is to be
sold at public sale to the highest
bidder. The Indians are author
lied to determine whether or not
they shall be removed. If they
conclude to remain where they are
the diminished reserve will not be
sold; but if they desire to go tC
the Indian Territory, those lands
will be sold to the highest bidder
under sealed bids, and no rights
of settlers upon them will be rec
ognized. The Indians will doubt
less consent to go and their land:
will be sold about next fall.
The trust lands embrace about
100000 acres, nearly all prairie

siderable number of inhabitants

ANOTHER RAILROAD COMING.

The Leavenworth Times says an
active movement is being made for
the extension or branch of the
Leavenworth, Lawre nee & Calves
ton railroad from Ottawa to En-
poria, and adds:
Although Kansas City is the prime
mover in the matter, the new enter
prise is one in which Leavenworth is
no less interested, for it will give It's an
additional means of access to = large
portion of our best trade. We trust
our Kansas City neIghbors will agitate
the subject vigoronsly-noto only talk
for the new road but pay for it, too,
and when they get it built Leaven-
worth will take her chances for the
lions share OF the trade of the country
through which the line will pass.
We are glad to see that the
cities on the eastern border of our
State are beginning to feel their
need of this road. The
Southwest having direct connec-
ton with st. Louis, by the NJ. X.
& T. road, and with Chicago by
the A. T. & 5. +. road, which
is now finished between Topeka
and Atchison, and having no di-
rect communication with Kansas
City and Leavenworth, would give
no heed whatever to the claims of
those cities as commercial centers,
fact which it will need no argu-
ment to convince them of. They
should have seen this year ago,
and should have gone to work
then to build the road that is now
contemplated. Instead of beating
about in the counties south of us
to select a point for the terminus
of q road from Kansas City which
would secure to that city the adj
vantage of large portion of the
Southwestern trade, without build
ing up at the same time rival,
they may as well conclude first as
last that THERE'S not another point
north, south or west of us to which
they could build a road viii CHI
would yield them so large return
for their money as will road
terminating at Emporia. The con-
struction of sundry branches of
the A. I. i S. F. ana other roads
that will pierce the southwest from
Emporia is only question of
time, and if Leavenworth and
Kansas City should fail now to see
their interest in this direction, or
seek TO accomplish it by any other
route, they will discover their mis-
take when it is too late, for We are
determined here to have n more
direct route east than we now
have. which, if we do not get by
way of Kansas City, we will get
to some other point. Such an
opening is positively demanded by
the country fast filling up west of
as, and it will ere long become an
absolute necessity. In such case
q road from Kansas City to any
other point would hardly pay ex-
penses. Come On with your road
and we'll do you good.

THE KANSAS CITY AND EMPORIA
RAILROAD.

For the benefit of our citizens we
clip from the Kansas City Bulletin
of the 18th inst, the following re-
port of the proceedings of the Board
of Trade in that city in reference to
the extension of the railroad from
Ottawa to Emporia:
There was a large attendance of
the members of the Board of Trade
yesterday afternoon, assembled at
the call of the President to hear the
report of the Committee on Inter-
nal improvements, in regard to the
proposed railroad line from Ottawa,
Kansas, to Emporia. The compile
ton of the road will give Kansas
City another hold upon the cattle
trade of the Southwest, and give it
beside the advantage of all compet-
ing cities for the trade of the region
tributary to the Atchison, Topeks s.
Santa Fe, and it was the interest felt
in the gathering in of the sheaves,
that prompted the large meeting.
President Powell called the meet
ing to order, and in a few words an
nounced the object of the IN Getting.
The Secretary read the following
report of the committee on Internal
improvements
To the President and Board of Trade
GENTLEMEN Your Committee, to
whom was referred the question, look

we believe it would be of great benefit
to this city to have said line of road
constructed as soon as possible, and

that could be secured along the line for

The last house amnesty bill then

The Chicago Inter-ocean, in
speaking of the effects on the chief
executive of Federal patronage, apt
w says that it is TO President Grant
as it has been to every one of our
Presidents, a source of weakness in-
stead of strength. 1t gave Dir. Lin
coin more trouble than the entire
conduct of the war. 1t aIienated
political friends and supporters,
brought him WEAKNESS and trouble
and vexation, and in the last year
or his administration, the same as it
has been TO General Grant, relent-
less and terrible opposition. The
men who failed to get office from
him, or contracts from his Secretar-
les, ran off to Cleveland, and put
candidates for the Presidency i'm the
field. 1t is the old play, with pretty
much the old actors. That it will
come TO the same ignomiuious end
there can be little doubt. The great
body of the people are simply anus
ed by these exhibitions. They lis
ten TO the music Of the oraiory, and
admire the fireworks, but when
election day comes they turn away
from the political quacks and mon
tebanks, and pay no attention,
whatever, to them.

DECORATION DAY.

The indications are that the Both
day of May, 1872, will be more gen.
orally observed throughout the land
than any previous Decoration Day
since the war. Whatever may be
said by those who deprecate any
acts that will keep alive the memo
ries of the rebellion, lest they should
stir up the aninosity of the South
ern people, aud perpetuatc their
hate, it is evident that those who
buried their tenderly loved for the
sake of the Union can not forget
their dead, or hide away, even to
conciliate anybody. the evidences OF
their undying affection. 1t is ask
ing too much of fathers and moth
ers whose hearts are weary of the
yearning for the boys who will
come not; asking too much of the
sisters and brothers whose hopes
and pride will never again beam
from their eyes upon the compan-
ions who grew to manhood around
them; asking too much of the
friends and lovers whose hearts have
ached with wishing and watching
for dear ones who went from them
in health and strength TO be sacri'
feed for the common good, to re-
quest them to re frain from any dem
