Yesterday We had the pleasure of = call from
Mr.. +. Wellhouse, who was one of the committee
designated by the State horticultural Society to
collect specimens of the different varieties of Kan
sss apples, and exhibit them in the Eastern
States. The other members of the committee
were DIR. Howsley and DIR. Stayman.
The committee returned from New York yes
terday, having finished their task to the
CREDIT OH, KANSAS,
and to the ultimate gain Of our fruit growing in
terests. ,a.s-
The State appropriated one Thousand dollars
to assist the Horticultural Society in making
this collection aud display, and when We consd-
er the gratifying success achieved by the Kansas
fruit at Boston, Waverley aud New York, We
have no hesitation in saying that Kansas never
expended one Thousand dollars to better pur-
pose.
THE FIRST EXHIBITION
Of the fruit was made at the American Pomologi-
cal Society at Boston. Nineteen States were
represented there, including Nebraska, Califor-
nia New York and New Jersey. Nebraska ex-
hibited immense quantities of fruit. She sent 3
special car and q large delegation of citizens,
headed by her Governor As soon as the exhibi-
tion was opened it was evident to all spectators
that the chief contestants were Kansas, Nebrss-
ka and California. 1t finally settled down to
KANSAS AND NEBRASKA,
the awarding committe hesitating to make de-
dision. The Commmittee was equally divided
cd. Il was acknowledged that the Kansas fruit
was richer in color, and the varieties more cor
rectly named than the Nebraska fruit, but owing
"a the immense quantity exhibited by our sister
State, she received the first premiu m and Kansas
the second.
From Boston the Kansas fruit went to Waiver

THE FAIRs.-This week will conclude the Fairs
for the present season. Some of them have been
grand successes and others have been called sue
cessful simply because, through public aid and mig
gardly premiums, they got through without &C.
tual financial loss. The question is being broach
cd, whether it can be made interesting or profit
able to hold Fairs in all the Counties every year,
in the present sparsely settled and partially i'm,
proved condition Of the country. The Fairs COM
Inence the first week in September. aud continue
until the second week in October, thus being
continuously in progress for period of six weeks
Among these several on a large scale, like the
AtchisOn and st. Joseph Fairs. Persons who can
attend but few, go to the best; and all the finest
stock and products are saved up for these large
expoeitions. As q a result, the smaller Fairs are
made up of inferior articles, such as have been
shown to their best advantage at the leading
Fairs People become wearied with the success
ion Of fairs and take bDt little interest in some
Of them. The effect ID, that many of the County
Fairs do not serve to bring out the advantages
of the County fully; for the best has been taken
to exhibit at the large expostions, and the peo
pie interested in Fairs have bad too great a sur
felt to maintain a proper interest.

Two weeks was as long time - the Repsbii-
can could manage to pass over without finding
fault with something the Chief has done. IL
asks for peace, aud shows the sincerity of the
request by growing and Misrepresentation. Why
could it not devote itself wholly 10 the abstruse
questions Of fDance-leanedly inform its read,
ers that the hard times were cansed by scarcity Of
grecubacks, and that tho only way TO make money
more plentiful, was to increase the amount Of
currency Bat no; its mission 10 TO find fault
with the Chief and it must not neglect that.
A short time ngo, the Repsbfican said that Il
the Chiefs slate was not adopted by the Farmers
Convention, We would go back on it, and abust
the farmers. Well, the farmers have not nomi
mated the men Of our choice, and we have moi
abused them; we have freely criticised what We
thought objectionable in their actions, heartily
commended most Of their proceedings, and Spoken
well Of their ticket. New the Republican growl'
because We do not repudiats the farmers ticket
and take up the cry for Republican Conven
tion.
When men went into that Convention, aud re-
mained in it from first to last, without objecting
to single proceeding, they should have honol
enough to abide by its decisions. When they
unanimously passed q resolution requiring every
candidate who came before the Convention t.
pledge himself, if defeated, not to permit biz
name to be used As . candidate in any other con
uection, nor to support any opposition ticket
they at the same time solemnly obligated them
selves to support the men who should be nomi
mated. Yet men have gone cut Of that couven
tiOn and within the sams hour have pnt in mo
tion q scheme to nominate an opposition ticket
And because the Chief will not give hearty sp
proval of such conduct, the Republican growl
at us for that.
We are free and independent in this matter
and propose to take such course as suits us, re
gardless Of what the Republicaa may say or dc
We have very little desire to receive the appro
baton of that virtuous concern.

A HEAVY CHARGE.-The Beloit Gazette, in op-
posing the nomination Of Joel Holt for Judge of
the 18th Judicial District, brought the serious
charge against him that he came there last Spring
from Donipban County, where be was beaten for
County Attorney last Fall, on the "Sol. Miller
ticket" Could the Gazette find nothing else to
support its cause, than . re-hssh Of the spite and
malice Of persons in this County, of the truth or
falsity of which it knows nothing at ALI We
can inform the Gazette that we were not dele
gate in any Convention last FALL and had moth
ing to do in nominating u ticket; and that there
was no such thing as Sol. Miller ticket" in the
County. And if Mr.. Holt was debated, he made
an honorable race, and has nothing to be ashamed
Of Permit US to suggest that that District is
rather remote to bring in the "Sol Miller" issue,
and the Gazette should confine itself to its own
Jurisdiction. If that Sol. Miller candidate, un-
known in the District, and not having FIVE friends
in the County, received almost two-thrds Of tue
votes in the Convention, over Q man known
throughout the District, aud backed by all the
newspapers IN it, il would pay better to fight him
on some other issue.

ATcHIsoN BANEs.-During the money panic,
the AtchIson banks have steadily refused to sus-
pend, while the banks of neghboring cities have
closed their doors. This brings up question
that we have been heretofore tempted to speak
of. In the course of our business, We have fire.
quently received drafts ON Atchison banks, in
sums of q to $50. We have applied to bankers
in Troy and in other places IN Nor1hern Kansas
to get them cashed, but in every case n shave Of
Is cents was demanded. The reason always Civ
en- was, that they had no business connection
with the AtchisOn banks, aud it would cost Is
cents to make the collection. Now, our opinion
is that they had better form business connections
with tho Atchison banks at once They were al
ways ready to cash drafts on st. Joseph, without
any discount; yet the st. Joseph banks all sus-
pended, aud went hack on them, while the At
chiscn banks, with which they did not conde.
scend to do business, kept open.

ANOTHER TIcKET.-In answer to the call for
the meeting of the Republican Central Commit
tees, the meeting was held at the Court House,
on Wednesday afternoon. The Committees are
composed Of three from each Township, making
81 in each Committee, or AZ in all. There were
present 16 members, or considerably less than
one-half OF these 16, three-fourths were of the
party, that's Imported what was called the Price
ticket, last Fall-and q number of them had
been engaged in the Farmers Convention, eth
er as delegates or candidates. and had sOlemnly
obligated themselves, upon their word of honor,
not To support or encourage an opposition ticket.
There we're also present, as encouragers Of the
movement several who had been defeated in the
Farmers Convention.
When they were met, they assumed the re-
sponsibility of nominating County ticket-tak-
ing part of the Farmers ticket, and putting
on some new men. The ticket is as follows:
Treasurer, Robert Tracy.
Clerk, Charles Rappelye.
Sheriff, James G. Robertson.
Register Of Deeds, Albert Hazen.
Surveyor, Henry Wilson.
Coroner, DR.. G. J. Archer.
Representative, LIST District, Nathan Springer
I'd District, Y. K. Stout; Sd District, b. +. Bow
man.
Commissioners, 1st District, Jesse W. Jones
ID District, Daniel Snyder; Sd District, Joseph
Hill.
The ticket is composed of Objectionable men;
but it was nominated by few men who repre-
scented nobody, aud had no authority to poEiR.
ate ticket No person is under any more -obli-
cation to support this ticket than they would
be to support independent candidates, who make
the race upon their own merits.
We understand that new Central Commit
tee was appointed, but we have not heard the
names. 1t appears that the Central Committee
propose to nominate tickets and to psrpetuste
itself, without troubling the people with any
thing but voting.

TRUSTING A BROKEN REED.-The Port
land, Oregon, Bulletin extracts the.following
from Mr. A. B. Meacham's testimony at the
trial of the Modocs It shows Dr.. Thomas to
have been very infatuated man who trusted
to vain belief instead Of judgment and good
sense. even to the endangering Of his own
life. which he thereby lost, and it should in.
struct others to act more wisely under similar
circumstances The writer of this, in compa-
ny with four others. was once surrounded by
about 300 Klamath Lake Indians and kept in
durance for about sixteen hours We de-.
pended for safety upon q sleepless vigilance
and well ll-charged rifles and six-shooters, and
escaped. II, like DR.. Thomas, we had looked
to the impossible interpoition Of some power,
real or imaginary. beyond our own, our fate
would have been much worse than his-we
would have been tortured to death:
".Dr. Thomas didn't believe there was dan
ger. General Canby's opinion seemed TO be
pretty nearly his; that he was in the line Of
duty; that he wa: serving God; that if God
required his life he was ready; that he was
going. At all events. I made the proposition
that If this meeting must take place we must
60 armed. and that John Fairchild be allowed
to 60 along. That I was willing to 60 with
John Fairchild armed and myself armed, If no
one else was. DR.. Thomas strenuously op-
posed this because it would be breach Of
compact. insisted that knew these people
better than he did, that they could not keep
their part of the compact; that they would be
armed, and that there would be more than
FIVE OF them. The Doctor again replied in .
very religious way, that it was matter belong
ing to God-that We would keep our part Of
the compact and trust in Him. made one
further proposition-I remember it distinctly
that if when we arrived on the ground things
looked suspicousI would make them any prom
ise in the world rather than that they should
have my life or theirs. DR.. Thomas said: II
will be party to no deception under any cir
cumstances The matter is in tho hands Of
God" General Candy said: II have dealt
with Indians for thirty years and have never
deceived an Indian, and will never consent to
ito any promise that cannot be fulfilled"
/ abandoned all idea Of persuading them from
going remarked to Mr.. Dyer that saw no
reason why he was in honor bound to 60. As
Chairman Of this Commission my honor com.
PEELED me to 60. was not willing to have
General Candy and DR.. Thomas 70 alone. /
remember Mr.. Dyar's reply was, if went he
was going, too. -
