Kansas journals differ widely as
to the threatened Indian war on the
border. One account says there is
every reason to believe that the
late scare on the Western frontier is
the result of the maraudins of horse
thieves and other desperate white
outlaws. But II Lawrence paper
gives very explicit accounts of the
murder of five men by the Indians.
The whole case, however, looks to
IA di>interested outsider as if it had
been greatly exaggerated. The fact
is that "Indian wars on the from
tier have so frequently become mere
ruses to veil the selfish designs of
white men that most people look on
any report concerning them with
suspicion In this case, whatever
may be the facts, II positive injury
has been inflicted on Western Kan
sas by the wide circulation of stories
OF alarming Indian troubles.

DoARD Of SUPERVISORS.
We are glad to learn that the
present members of the Board de-
clare an intention to turn over a
new leaf in the matter of county
contracts and adopt system which
promises great relief and benefit to
the taxpayers of the county. Under
tho present law all contracts less
than one hundred dollars may be
let by the Board without advertis-
ing for proposals, and during the
past year large sums of money have
been unnecessarily appropriated for
the repairs Of bridges, and build
ing small ones, under the direction
Ut the Superintendent of Roads
aud Bridges.
A large proportion of tho money
thus expended could have been
.aved to the county by requiring
the work thus paid for to be done
by the road overseers and the hands
under their charge. The present
Board having abolished the Office
of Superintendent of Roads and
Bridgee, will hereafter make no
appropriations for the repairing Of
bridges aud building small ones,
except in cases where the work can
not be done by the road hands
working the full number of days
required by law.
Again, many new bridges and
causeways have been built within
the past two years at great expense
which could have been dispensed
with, without any great detriment
TO the citizens of the county.
The citizens of a certain locality
petition for q bridge to be built, it
may be great convenience to the
citizens Of that particular locality,
and to the public generally, and
under favorable financial circum-
stances of the county might be
deemed q public necessity, but un-
der the present depressed state of
county finances, would be an ex-
travagant expenditure.
The Board propose to let all pc
titions for new work lay over for
ono meeting, to ascertain whether
it is absolutely necessary that the
work should be done, and to hear
any objections that may be raised
by the taxpayers, or any sugges
ti0n in relation thereto.
The present members of the
Board do not profess to have any
great learning or experience in pub
bio affairs, and are willing and de
sirous of receiving from the citizens
and taxpayers any suggestions look
ing to the benefit of the county
We congratulate the citizens o.
Madison county upon the present
favorable outlook, aud we hope, ani
confidently believe, that the bes
citizens of the county, irrespective
Of political faith and regardless O
prejudices, will approve the goot
resolutions and intentions of tht
Board, and instead of denouncins
them a. ignorant negroes, will sus
tain and encourage them in thei
efforts to economically manage til,
affairs of the county. We hav'
heard expressions to this effect from
prominent citizens and leading mel
Of the Democratic party within tn
past week.
The CITIZEN will keep sharl
lookout ON all the future proceed
iugs of the Board, and while giving
full credit and need of praise TO
all their efforts in the right direc
ton, it will never fail to criticiz,
and censure, and hold up to publi
gaze any acts that are not marke,
by honesty. integrity, and a desir
for the good of the public.

Railroad Dimcuities in Wisconsin.

Too much Importance cannot be attached TO the

and also those having extensive use for common
carriers.
The results of the discontnuance OF tho means

tregIound, tnd claim TO represent the people,

represent the railroad interests frequently exceed
the limits accorded 10 them and the innoccnt In

Ia Wisconsin the Governor has issued a procla-
nation referring TO the Iesistoncc of the railroads
to "a law OF last winter. lie rectes that such
law was passed aud approved, that the competen-
cy of legislation to regulate railroads is conceded,
and yet the St. Paul and Northwestern RailIoad
companies have announced their determination n
to operate their road without reference to the pro-
source of profound regret, and in marked CON

by the people, in the presence OF what they have
