say this we arc as anxious - any farm

price for his products and arc anxious
that plans DO devised by which this may
be attained. A lively grain trade will
brighten the financial skies, and that

Boards of trade should weigh tho mat.
tor carefully, leading business men
should work for this, and foreign de.
mand should be sought for. Kansas

in this behalf, can command wonder

sired result. A congress Of grain NOR
chants and other monied men, to meet
at either of the above cities, can accom-
plish much, after careful consideration
of all sides of tho questions which arc
so important in these distressing times

KaW DiniaiShed Reserve.

We learn from the best authority tina,
the Kaw Diminished Reserve will soon
be put into market with an extension OF
time for payments to be made. We now
believe this is the bos: thing that c:n be
done, and We further believe that the
stop should be taken by the government
without delay. We arc satisfied the in
tcrests of the settlers cannot be subscrv.
cd by further delay. We are reliably
informed that tho Reserve is rapidly be-
ing taken up, and that the TIMBER is be-
ing destroyed, thus rendering the land
of less value. We know that there are
great numbers of people who stand
ready to purchase the land at its apprais-
ed value and commence improvements
Immediately. As We said few weeks
ago, tho only point now to..be made is to
get the time of payment put off as long
as possible, in order to gi:e settlers =
chance TO make the money out of the
lands. Let the land be put into market
at once and thus settle the long stand
ing and vcxcd question as to how il
shall be disposed of-Emporia Ne,cs.

More Annexation.

II is currently reported and believed
by many we'll informed parties that
Lonsstrest is now actively engaged in
organizing an expedition tor a descsn,
upon Cuba, and that he is doing it with
the knowledge and countcnancc if not
the actual assistance of President rant
The acquisition of Cuba has always
been favorite hope, not only with the
politions Of Louisiana, but many even
of tho most prominent and wealthiesi
business men have INDUCED in it. When
Lopez undertook his expedition, stock
company in aid of the enterprise was
organized, and Of which many such men
were members; and subscribed literally.
They constituted the junta or council
wherein were debated and decided all
matters pertaining, not alone to the
campaiga, but to the subsequent policy
TO be adopted, provided the expedition
was successful. Tho expeditionary
force was recruited and organized under
the direction and control Of this council.
The officers were appointed by it, and
it was in all respects invested with SUI
premc authority. These parties doubt
less expected to reap a rich reward in
the event Of success. They would have
claimed all the Offices of''trust and emol-
ument" in the new, reconstructed Cuba,
and it is fair to presume thev anticipated
profitable return in kind upon their
outlay OF capital. Similar aid was Of
tered the other expeditions which have
been projected. The members Of the
Lopez junta would not perhaps feel in
duccmcnts SO pOteat to exert themselves
in behalf OF Cuban independence and an
ncxation now rs they did then. The
abolition Of slavery would strip the
scheme Of tho features which formerly
recommended it most atrongly TO them.
Nor have they now so much spare cash

investments, IS this one certainly is, As

Persons who do not know it should
know now, when there seems TO be con-
siderable Misrepresentation on tho point,
that insurance placed in companies that
have not complied with tho laws Of the
state in which the property insured Is
situated, cannot DO recovered either IN
the United States or state courts. The
statutes of all the states impose certain
conditions upon Insurance. companies
chartered by other states, the observ-
anee OF which by thcm is necessary be-
fore they can make any binding con-

The degraded state to which the jude
iary has been lsvslsd in New York has
gwen rise to discussion in that State
relative to the best methed Of filing ju-
dicial positions. During the Tammany
rulo the judges wore no better than,
and perhaps not half SO good as tho
criminals brought before them; and the
injustice and corruptions which charac-
terized that portion of the history of
the New York judiciary has finally NOV
cd some leading journals to call for a Ian
of filing judicial Offices which shall put
the repetition Of Tammany wrongs ont
of question. Some ofthc very foremos.
papers Of New York City have taken
strong grounds in favor Of an appointed
Judiciary, and surely the example which
they Gle, viz: The Federal judiciary is,
of itself, a strong argument in favor OF
tho system. The National Courts are
presided over by Judges who are appoint
ed by the President with the advice
sad consent of the Senate. Their tenure
of Office is not determined by the cxis.
tsnco or caprice of any political party.
They hold their Office during good be-
havior, and the result is that they are
possessed of varied Learning, and be-
come an important and integr.. part OF
the government. They are given q
compensation, fixed by law, and which
cannot be diminished during their ten
urc of office, and thoy can DO removed
only on impeachment. and conviction
of "treason, bribery or other high crimes
and misdemeanors." Since the first ex-
istcncc ofthc government this system
of appointment Of the national judiciary
has been in operation, and surely that
of the government has com
pared very favorably with the others.
Ii this system is good for the nation,
why is it not good for state? Is it
not derogatory to the judge, who is to
express the will of the people as they
decree in law, that he should 10 com
