1--WE were painfully surprised
last Sabbath to hear of the sudden
death of Charles Huntington, son of /
DIR. S. p. Huntington. We saw him
in apparent good health but two or
three days before. This blow will
fall heavily upon his parents. He
was 8 young man of much promise,
and was well esteemed by all who
knew him.
DIR. Wakefield informs the Eure-
Herald that times are worse in Ill

Kansas people croak too much.
The Verdigris people need better

A proposition for the legislatures
of Kansas, Missouri and Texas to
meet at Denison, Texas, and join In
an excursion from there 10 Austin.
thence to Topeka, thence 10 Jeffer-
son City, is favorably received by
all three of the bodies. The NJ,
X. & T. railroad and the Texas Gen.
trail are ready to furnish the trans
portation. We hope our legislature
will go, because the more time they
spend riding about the country the
less mischief they will do the State.

EDITOR NEws:-Col. Chapman,
the gentleman who took the con-
tract for gradiag the Walnut Valley
Railway, has gone to Eldorado to
sub-let the work at once. We un-
derstand that he will have the road
bed ready for the iron by the
middle of June. The Atchi-

will iron and operate the road,
which is sufficient guarantee that
it will be first-class in all respects.

You see 1t in every look, express
sion, motion and gesture, that he is
a man of strong will, of fixed pur-
poses, with the intellect predom-
mating. He is tall and thin. with
eyes that glow and sparkle. AS
politician he is progressive, by Ea.
ture and temperament, radical, Al
ways the unflinehing opponent. of
slavery, and always in the lead
of his party. He is . bold, fearless
man. When he addressed and pre-
sided over the republican conven-
ton in this city in September last,
there was q sort of don't-care-a-cop-
per-ativeness about him, an indie
pendent spirit of dare-anything-
ism, which was delightful to those
who enjoy the freedom of the broad
prairies. He was chaste. classical,
philosophical, and the best thinkers
were his most enthusiastic admir-
ers. He has the varied information,
the graceful polish, the serene Dig
nifty, the liberal scholarship, the In
dependence and unpurchasable in
tegrity to distinguish himself as
Senator, and faithfully serve and
honor the State of Kansas in the ma
tional councils.
In the past he has held important
relations to the politics of the coun-
try, and in the future, If his life Is
spared, IL is the sincere belief Of the
writer that he viii meet the best
hopes of his many ardent admirers.
One thing more: He went to To-
peka with $40 in his pocket-book,
and when he was elected United
| States Senator he still had $35-
elected without the use of money or
a single pledge.-Lawrence Tribune.
Senator Ingalls, is one of our
ablest lawyers, brilliant writer, 3
deep thinker, a courteous gentle
man and an old resident of Kansas.
He has participated in our struggles
and seen our growth from the time
when in the battles of Z" free Kan
sas," the soil of our territory was
baptized with the best blood of our
country. He has seen our young
commonwealth in the few short
years of its existence reach popu-
lation of six hunt red thousand, with
$500 organized school districts, in
which l65, 600 children attend free
/ schools from six to ten months per
year, while her higher institutions
of learning are second to none in
the nation. He has seen the "bull-
whacker" of the plains become 6
thing of the past, and Kansas with
more miles of railroads completed
than any one of twenty-six OF hel
sister states.
He has seen the Great American
Desert blossom as the rose, and
now as the great central state, the
new F" Keystone" of the nation
with her prestige established and
our importance acknowledged, he
is elected to the most important of.
flee within our gift. In his enlarged
sphere of usefulness we expect to
see the versatility of talent that be
has ever exhibited, make him one Of
the ablest of that able body of men

peet great things from our new Sen
ator.-The Grasshopper, GrasshOp'

OUR TAXES.
A Word from a Farmer.

EDITOR NEWS: / perused, with
considerable interest, your article
OF the 10th, headed the 'sPenalty
Humbug," which was republished
in the issue OF the oath inst, because
I think IL is logical. You very
truly remark that our taxes are too
high. But we have voluntarily as
suned them and let rs come up
like men and meet them, when due,
or, failing, pay the penalty without
grumbling. What would be gain
ed by postponement? A few citizens
and a great many SPECTATORS would
be accommodated, while both State
and county finances would be de-
ranged and confused. Ours is a
new organization. Much funds are
required for the establishment and
current expenses OF BENEVOLENT in-
situations, such as our State colleges,
normal schools, asylums, peniten-
tiaries, etc. ; also, to build school
houses, bridges, ETC., and to sustain
our common schools-the peoples
college-in so sparsely settled q
community as ours. And then, you
know, it requires considerable to
furnish daily papers to the members
Of the legislature for electioneering
purposes; and last, but not least,
railroad taxes which have already
been assumed, saying nothing OF
those which are sought by some to
be added.
Seeing, then, that our taxes are
simply enormous, and are working
a serious injury to the best interests
OF the country, does not wisdom
loudly call for remedy? Not in
procrastination, for that will never
cancel our liabilities. The county
owns 100000 of railroad stock,
which is, and perhaps will remain
unproductive to us, and for which
we are paying annual interest. 1t
was reported that one of our COM
missioners (of q former board) stat
ed that the A. T. s. S. +. road pro-
posed to refund 100000 of our
bonds for the 100000 of stock we
held of that road. Also, it was re-
Gently stated upon the best of au-
thority, that written proposition
was then pending before the present
board, whereby it was proposed to
render the stock of the NJ. X. s. T.,
worth to the county 662S per cent.
of its par value, or $133, 333-this
being added to 100000 from the
other company, would be S233, 1888,
which being deducted from our
bonds, would leave bat S166.667 as
our remaining railroad debt, instead
of 100000. If this could be effect
ed now, would it not be better il
our board would make such ar
rangement, and thus render sub
stantial and permanent relief, than
for the legislature to postpone,
the penalty for q few months,
when at the expiration of the
time we will perhaps find our.
selves no better prepared than
at present. am holder in
making these suggestions because
the former commissioner above re-
ferred to, solicited the sense of the
people in that regard; and because,
from my personal knowledge OF the
present board, 1 believe that any
suggestion from the public, proper
ly made, will be kindly received,
Then, taxpayers, let us have your
opinion, and yours, Mr.. Editor, fol-
"thOu art worth ten thousand of u.s.
and let the watchword be, no more
bonds at the present.
Yours, truly, Fremont.

There are political epochs as will
as historical, geological and ecclssi-
astical-a time when the people: an
der the inspiration of some aew
light or grand principle, make for
ward movement and shake of the
old order of things and begin q new
and nobIer era. Political nobility is
rare quality. 1t is the refined gold.
It's price is above rubies. 1t is the
h art, the life of the commonwealth.
IL is sought, not seeking. 1t saves
aud eleVates. In it the people find
security, safety. 1t means private
purity. 1t means happy HON es,
general prosperity.
1t is generally conceded that on
Wednesday the State of Kansas
made forward political movement.
The almost unanimous election of
the Hon. John James Ingalls,, of
AtchisoD, as the successor of Sena-
tor Pomeroy, IS regarded as a for
ward movement. He was born
in Essex county, Massachusetts, in
in 1895. He is graduate of Will
liams College. He came to Kansas
in 1858, located at Summer, and COM
menced the practice of law. He re-
moved to Atchison in 1859, where
he now resides. He was twice
for Governor
on the anti-Lane ticket, and upon
the resignation of Hon. John A.
Martin, he succeeded him In the
Senate from Atchison and Brown
In 1859 he was chosen a member
of the WyandOtte constitutional |
and was made secretary
Of that body which framed the con-
stitution under which we now live.
He married Miss Louisa CHEESE
brough in 1864. She was the daugh-
ter of the Hon. Ellsworth Cheese
0rongh, who was honored with the /
position of state elector in the men,
Orable campaign for tire reelection /
of Mr.. Lincoln in 1854. He died
before the close Of the campaign.
Mr.. Ingalls,, as q lawyer, is the
peer of any man in the State, and /
ais senatorial duties will take him
rom 9 very large and lucrative
practice.
But he is widely known outside
1f the profession of the law for his
literary attachments aud labors. In
Iddttton to attending to his prac.
ice, he finds time to indulge his lit
rAry tastes, and puts to use his ripe
in contributions to the
ead1ng and most pOpnINc periodi-
ais OF the day. The old Knicker-
.ocker, the Atlantic Monthly, and
lnce its establishment, the Kansas
Aagazine, have often sparkled with
he creations Of his Imagination.
