secondly how to do it. Business
cooperation of the Oranges will
never be of great practical utility
until there is more thorough Or
ganization of that branch OF. the
Grange than at present. We be-
lieve that great benefits may be OBJ
tanned frem such organization az we
have mentioned. There is no
doubt but the members of the Or
der demand at this time more eff
cient business measures.
The greatest obstacle liz the way
of the State Agent az this lime, is
this lack or active corporation, and
in our estimation he will be unable
to meet the demand until he and
the county business agents can come
together and perfect their plans.
The great fear to-day, is that
counties and individual Oranges
will undertake business schemes,
which in 3 new country with little
capital TO extend in experimenting,
may prove failures. This must be
avoided, and by meeting together
repres natives of the various conn-
ties, will be enabled TO gain iufor-
nation absolutely necessary TO sue
cess, and by corporation, save their
organization many humiliating fail
ures. Let us make haste slowly

DEMOCRATIC REUNIoN.-The
most touching event of the season
was the grand Democratic reunion
in New York city. Old Tammany
veterans who had been blown to
pieces in the last Presidential
campaign came to the front, smil-
ing and happy over the promises
of the future. To see the hand
of brothers shake hands all
around, and embrace each other
as if they had been parted for a
century, was enough to draw tears
from q cast-iron statue. If it fell
short of actual sublimity, it was
no fault of the brethren or the
cause which brought them togeth-
er. There is no better place on
the continent for Democratic re-
union than the city of New York,
if we except BlackwelPs island,
the ''home of that retired apostle
of modern Democracy, William
NJ. Tweed. The very air you
breathe in the great metropolis is
laden with the peculiar odor of
Democracy. Its taX-books are
happy reminders of what the ma
ton might become under system
SO pure and exactiDg as that
which has blessed the city of New
York from the reign of Fernando
the First to this retirement of
William the Last. If a Demo
cratic reunion fails to draw the
proper inspiration from New
York, then hope is lost, and des-
pair has settled, like black pail
over the campaigns of the future.
But the fossiliZed elements of the
party that met iii happy reunion
appear o have been inspired. They
clothed the old political skeleton,
which has been hanging in the
wigwam for the past twelve years,
in its ancient garments, and, COW
eHng its face with a vail, ratified
it over the boards as the genuine
form OF Jeffersonian Democracy.
They became inspized with the
true spirit, whether with old rye
or patriotism the faithful reporter
has kept to himself 1t matters
little whether it was Of one or the
other, tor they are so closely al
lied in modern Democracy as TO
make II extremely difficult to
draw the line of distinction be-
tween them. The fact is before
us. De mocracy was inspired, and
the gre at Trojans who stole in
and ou, of Albany, if not Troy,
have set their hands and seals to
solemn covenant to save the
Republic by administering its gov
ernmenl in the interests of true
Demoer ICY. The decree has
gone forth; the reunion has re-
solved 10 bring the nation back to
tie simplicity of Olden times.
Cochrane is to be transformed in
to a second edition of Jefferson,
revised and improved while the
sanity Fernando is to play the
part of Jackson, with "Old Hick-
ory'' LETT out. To your farms, o
Changers. The work of govern
mental purity has become the self
imposed task of Democracy.-The
| Republic.

EMPORIA NEWS,
FRIDAY, JUNE -, 1874.
TAXATION.


The chronic grievance of al
grumblers is high taxes. When al
things are prosperous, when none,
is plenty, health excellent, wo.l
abundant, weather propitious
crops honrishing, prices good ant
neighbors kind; still "taxes'' re
main the never-failing resourc,
of the never to-be-satislied- ranlt
finder.
Many a reformer and windy
demagogne would have no stock IN
trade were il not for taxes.
Many a candidate has promised
to have ''three penny loaves sold
fora hap-pence" if the dear people
wonld only elect him, and yet we
find him the first to vote himself
back pay, take railroad passes and
plumber the public in all possible
ways.
But this is not what We wanted
TO say. Many persons object TO
investing their money in Kansas
on account OF onr high taxes.
without once inqniring whether
they are high.
Taxation is usually higher in
new than in old communities.
Compared with any other State
which has been settled within the
past forty years, Kansas, at the
same age, and the same material
development, willhaVe NO reason
To blush.
High taxes are not necessarily
an evil. 1t is the improper or un-
wise use of money which consti-
tutes the hardship. Kansans, like
all enterprising, go ahead people,
have sometimes gone too far and
too last, yet they have, except in a
few localities perhaps, got the
worth of their money in valuable
improvements.
In the matter or taxation real
estate is the best possible inyest.
nent, for it is never assessed Mt
more than half its value and gen
orally about one-third; while
money, stocks and bonds are list
ed At their full value. The New
York State tax is this year Il
mills, in this State six mills. In
Dubuque, Iowa, the city tax is
1925 ON q hundred. In Emporia |
it is $0.9l, eighty-one of which is
for schools. In some portions of
the country business is taxed to |
raise almost the entire revenue.
This we think an unwise policy,
as the business man must of course |
distribute it among his customers,
thus making the burden very I'M.
equal,
Put your money in land if you
want light taxes.

MILLING INTERESTS or KANSAS.

FroEa . very able report by j. b.
Torhert, of Humboldt, chairman
of the Committee on Commercial
Relations, made to the Mill-own
ers' Association, at their meeting
at Lawrence, April IA, 1874, We
condense the following Important
information;
There are ninety mills in the
State, costing $I,OOO,OOO. They
have 200 burrs for wheat and 80
for corn. Their grinding capaci
ty, 100000 bushels wheat and
100000 bushels corn,
The Estimated product of these
raills the past year is 100000 bar
rels Of tiour. Amount of -four
required for present population of
the State, 100000 barrels. Wheat
crop of 1873 estimated at 4,S0O,-
600 bushels. OF this amount
about 100000 bushels were
ground in the State. The crop of
1874, 1t is estimated. will exceed
last year by eighty per cent.
From the researches of the
committee they learn:
l. That the coming wheat crop
will be greater than the milling
capacity of the State
,, That the milling capacity is
much greater than the home con-
sumption.
,. That our own mills stand idle
while mills of other states are
making -four for our people.
4. That too much winter wheat
is exported and too much spring
wheat and flour imported, while
! there is not enough flour exported
After discussing various propo
/. sitiops OF interest the committee
, conclude with the following:
/. That the enterprise and cap
ital of this association, in connec
ton with the grangers' element
4 should control the wheat crop o
Kansas.
.. That the time is forever pas
r when the importation of Whea
II and -four to Kansss is . necessit
,s and that this association is able t
- not only furnish Kansas wit
,e bread, but TO export a large sW1
"a plus.

LETTER IRON HUMBOLDT.


1 have been waiting for a LON
time for convenient season I,
write, but the aiore mentioned sea
son don't arrive. Therefore writI
anyhow. But i can't write for talk
ing about the bugs. The bugs, thu
bugs! how they do worry US pool
farmers. The chinch bugs, the rose
bugs, and the humbugs. The first
are in Iegions, the second in my.
riads, but the last, who shall mum.
Der them? They are fonRd Oh the
street corners and in highways and
byways, on wet ground or dry, in
rich soil or poor, at home or abroad
buzzing in your ears like blue bot
ties in June; tickling your nose like
gnats in harvest; infesting your
pockets like ants in sugar bowl /;
and covering the face of the earth
Ike locnsts in Egypt; who shall tell
OF all the humbugs.
Now then, for sober, some fields
of wheat are already rnined with
chinch bugs. Some oats will never
head, and other crops are beginning
to suffer. The rose bugs have at
tackled the grapes, peaches, apples,
blackberries &C.. with such Yigor
that they bid fair to make the crop
thin. Corn is doing well as yet.
We have been having very dry
weather, but are haying showers
now almost daily though. Some
crops have been badly set back by
the dry, windy weather. Some
wheat will be ready for the reaper
in few more days. The early
sown, and drilled in wheat is invari-
ably the best. That which was put
in in August and the early part of
September coming out ahead all the
time.
Schools, churches etc., are .'all
quiet on the Potomac" now. The
schools have generally closed for
the heated term, and claim to have
acquitted themselves well. The
churches are all floating with the
tide, in linen suits and with palm
leaf fans, You know it says they
shall all have palms in their hands,
when the cruel war is over. And |
the temperance war Is over, except |
struggling fight with skirmishers
in the rear; and they will do their
duty If the rivers dry ur. The
Methodist preacher is hammering
away alternately here and at lola, |
and expects to make his ticks count.
The Presbyterian preacher, the elo-
qnent, the talented, Col. Lewis, is
oil at st. Louis, saying his piece to
the General Assembly. The Bap-
fist preacher has gone "up higher"
that is, to Ottawa and higher sal
AIRY. He is not a salary grabber
either, I'd have you know; but one
of the Roanerges kind. Now what
more shall l say; I've told you
about all 1 knOw-and the printer
thinks if had to set such writing
l would be alters aging, amen.
THE News is getting to be quite
familiar, its bright face comes as
regularly as the Fridays-not the
black Fridays-and its tone is CHEEKY.
But a little more buncomb would
make it go like-like-anything.
But it is like matronIy old lady,
and perhaps would consider bum
comb as much out of tplace. 1t is
the old reliable any way. There!
Now then have said enough. I'll
tell you next week what the grang-
gers are doing. There is plenty of
them, and they are at work, and
propose to see somebody some of
these days. Oh! how hot il is,

TASTE of WHISKY,

I
DIR. Holland, editor of Serb.
ner's Magazine says: There are
men who honestly believe shat al
coholic drink is good for them,
yet there is not one of them who
would touch it except as pre-
scribed medicine if it were not
for it's pleasant taste"
NJ. G. Mains, formerly of En-
poria, now editor of The Somerset
Press, Ohio, replies. He evident
~ thinks that DIR. Holland knows
but little about the matter.
Mains knows. Hear him:
The Doctor evidently don't un-
derstand the subject he endeavors
to elucidate for the information of
his readers; otherwise he would
not have doled out the old twad-
die about the pleasant taste of al
coholic drink. There is not to
exceed one topper in a hundred
who drinks whisky for the taste j;
it is universally drank for the eff
feet it produces, and if reform
err is not cognizant of this fact,
he is lacking very essential infor-
nation. The generality of drink
'ers use ~plug" of some kind to
keep down a snort" and not un-
frequently, when an unusually
long time has elapsed between his
drinks, an experienced guzzler
will be necessitated to use consid-
cradle stratagem and several
plugs to prevent his dram from
"going back on him" and it is on
~ by getting rid OF it's taste that
he may he said to be in Il fair way
to become master of the situation.
If the pheasant taste" of alcohol
ic drinks was the only things
which prompts men to persist in
their use, there wouldn't be much
drinking of that kind going on in
