they DoS'T LIKE IT.-We expect
ed the railroad companies would
not like Judge Raiiey's article or
Railroads., which we copied from
his Usage Sentinel last week. We
find the following In the last issue
of the Sentinel:
IT HURTs.-Ths leading article in
our last weeks Sentinel, asking the
question whether the railroads were
to be our masters or our servants
was copied into the Lawrence Tri-
bune of the 9th, and replied to in
the Lawrence Journal of the 10th,
by Major ". c. Ransom, Treasurer
The reply is courteous and will
appear with comments next week.
In the meantime we have Just this
little conundrum to PROFOUND to
Major Ransom.
II a widows house and lot in
Lawrence worth 5000 Is taxed

We know q widow who does pay
the fret named sum, 6$ISl.60) with
ten per cent. penalty and costs
added.
Major Ransom boasts that the rail-
road pays little over 5000, which
ia little over one per cent. on the
amount donated, and perhaps half
of one per cent. on the total val.
ne of the road. The widows tax L.
Eve and one-fitth per cent. besides
the penalty and costs.

AssAssISATED.-Gen. +. S. Nc
Cook, Secretary of Dakota Terrific
ry, was asSassinated and killed at a
public meeting In Yankton, the cap
ital of Dakota, on the 1lth, by q
banker of the town named Peter p.
" intermute. Some words had
passed between the parties. Winter
mute being drunk Gen. McCook
avoided him as long as possible, but
finally struck him in the face. Nc
Cook belonged to the "fghting Nc
Cook family" of Ohio, and when
Kansas was Territory represented
what was called "Arapahoe" coun
ty, which included all of Western
Kansas, in our Territorial Legis-
laLure. He made q record in the
late war on the side of the Union as
Q brave aud fearless soldiers. At las
accounts there was much excite
ment, and It was feared the assassin
would be lynched. The whole city
was in mourning over the sad end
of McCook's life.

At the New England Agricul.
tural Fair, lately held at Boston,
DIR. Geo. d. Loring, for many years
President of the Society, opened
the exhibition with sn address, in
the course of which he said that il
you would look for the highest sg-
Ficulturai prosperity you must 60
where the producer meets The con.
sinner face to face, and is entirely
free from the power of any inter
mediate agent. If you would look
for the most intelligent rural pop
ulation, you must go where every
farmer IL the owner of the soil he
cultivates, aud where the land hold
or possesses certain social and civil
rights which il Is his duty to de-
velope and protest. Of the trans
portation question DIR. Loring said :
The consumer Of corn ct one dol
lar per bashcl is startled TO learn
that corn IL used IS fuel on the very
farms where that which he has pur.
erased was raised. Tic producer
of corn grows more and more in
dignant as he sits before his fire and
reads thai the fuel with which he
ia warming himself Is worth one
dollar per bushel in the eastern mar
ket. The problem of remedy for
this inequality hiss therefore an ugly
look at both ends. The producer
complains that he is starved and
must have relief. The consumer
complains that he is robbed already,
aud that an increase of prices will
work his rqin. That the burden OF
saIution SHOULD be thrown upon the
system OF intermediate trade and
Transports ion Is not surprising
that this system needs regulating
there can be no doubt. and that If
win be regulated there should be
no doubt.

ABOUT THAT BALLOON EXCURSION
TO EURoPE,-The day for Prof.
Wise to start to Europe on that
Graphic Balloon excursion, come and
has z one, and all that remains OF
the affair is q graphic failure. A
dispatch from New York dated
18th, says an immense crowd OF
people went to BroOklyH yesterday
to sac the balloon inflated, many
estimating the number as high as
$1,000 in the streets. avenues and on
house-tops in the vicinity. Many
roofs of high buildings in this city
were covered with people, with
glasses, to view its promised ascen-
SION. The process of imitation COM
menced this mOrning and continued
steadily during the day and after
noon. Many people believed there
would be bona fde ascension, but
others were skeptical. At ten min
utes past four the balloon Suddenly
swayed 10 the north, ripped half
way around with great sound. and
fell Aat upon the ground. The i'm
mense volume Of gas which had
been pumped into 81. 10000
feet, escaped, nearly suifocating
those who stood on the lee side.
Inspector Folk. Mr.. Goodshell and
Police commissioner Briggs had but
an instant before shifted their po-
sitions to the eastward, and thns
escaped being buried in the netting
and canvas. The crowd made a
general rush over the ropes, with
the intention of tearing the balloon
into small pieces, aud carrying them
OF as mementoes, but the strong
force OF police on the ground charg-
ed aud dEOYe them back, but not
before many sncceeded. Steiner,
who had contracted to I'LL the bal
Don, said that t. wOnld be all folly
to attempt another inAation, As the
bag was not made OF proper mate
rial. So the enterprise IL abandon-
ed for the present.
