REFUNDINa THE COTTON TAX.-It is
said there are some chances of q bill
passing Congress to refund the cotton
tax. According to the Courier Journals S
Washington correspondent, the great
trouble now is the disagreement between
the friends OF the measure themselves.
The cotton factors insisted upon having
the money to be refunded paid to the
parties holding the receipts for the tax
paid. Many of the planters did not &C.
quiesce in this procedure. and 30 the
matter fell. as it were, betweon two
stools. The present status Of affairs is
thus represented by the correspondent.

Farmers Clubs.

The organization of Farmers Clubs
was originally intended to benefit it's
members by cooperative buying and
selling, by the discussion of subjects ap-
pertaining to the management of the
farm, to beget better and more friendly
feeling, and create a greater unity Of
action among the industrial classes.
The discussion of these subjects has nat
urally wldened and deepened after dis
cussing the modes best calculated to pro-
duce good crops, the question of how to
dispose of them comes up; and thus,
step by step, they have advanced, until
they find themselves graphing with the
great financial and political questions of
the day =; and from the subordinate or
local organizations Of few years ago
the subject Of ridicule and scorn-thev
have grown into powerful organization,
with fair prospect to soon have ma
tional head, they are now feared, and
their favors courted by the two old po-
litical parties.

haysood IL the Kansas Senate 1t Comes
up Early. >s'+.s'ss 3
TOPEKA. March 18th. 1874

-r E
p. The Kansas House Of Representatives
is made up mostly of farmers and men
from the rural districts, elected the past
year, and nearly all new members. The
Senate is composed chiefly Of lawyers,
bankers and officials, elected last year
and consequently old members. The
House true to its individual habit of in
dustry and economy, or as some might
say, rustic simplicity to work at
nine o'clock in the morning, and works
until ten or eleven o'clock at night
three sessions each day. The result is
that large number Of bills are passed,
and accumulate upon the Senate calen-
der, awaiting concurrence, while the Sen
ate lolls around until ten o'clock, then
spends few hours on points of order,
burlesque motions, local bills and ad-
journs. In the Senate there are few
real working members; these have made
repeated efforts to work more hours, and
thus keep up with the calendar; but
their efforts in this direction have re-
peatedly met with failure and ridicule.
Yesterday in view Of the close of the
session and need of work on unfinished
business, another attempt to work more
was made by the friends of reform, by a
motion to meet at 9 A. NJ. instead of 10
A. N. This was amended by inserting
eight o'clock, and this again by seven
o'clock, and then our burlesque friends
moved to make il. six o'clock and here
We nabbed them. We told them that
we were perfectly at home on this six
o'clock question, having been born and
raised on that platform, and so the Sen
ate promptly voted to meet hereafter
at six o'clock, A. NJ" Well we did
meet, and for once at least, whole lot
Of lawyers got up before the sun. To
see the Kansas Senate winding it's way
by starlight to the Senate House was
compensation for all the jibes and jeers
perpetrated upon hay seed this winter.
So far in this session hay seed is ahead
and hay seed intends to keep ahead.

this would be Inconsistent with the un.:
pretentious simplicity ola republican
form Of government. Besides this We
have enoug h Of snobbery already among
the Shoddyites and Credit Mobilierites,
without attempting to increase it. The
presence Of monarchy, with an actual
sight Of its glitter and show, would set
thousands to aping it. If real genuine
monarchical aristocracy itself is unen-
durable to us as people, good Lord de-
liver us from miserable, spurious imita-
ton.

The Centennial Exposition.

1t now seems as if Congress will re.
fuse to make any appropriation what
ever for the proposed Centennial Ex.
position. This is more than we had
hoped for, and is another proof of the
fact that our rulers are more disposed
to heed the will Of the people than they
were before they had been taught the
lesson that followed the Salary Grab.
But even if no appropriation had been
required, we do not think it would
have been good policy to attempt an
international Exposition. The late
Vienna Exposition came too near being
= failure to warrant US in the ATTEMPT.
Our means and facilities for making a
grand display, and insuring success,
are not to be compared with those which
produced the great show at Vienna.
This was not merely the work of the
Austrians, but Of the combined nations
Of Europe. The reputation and honor
of royalty itself was at stake, and roy
atty disbursed funds with lavish hands.
Another advantage in favor Of Vienna
is the fact that the products Of industry
there are so much more concentrated.
than on this side Of the ocean. The
populous aud civilized transatlantic ma.
tions lie close together, and the facilities
for reaching the place Of exhibition are
much better than they would be for
reaching Philadelphia. ..-...~.
a But our greatest objection to an in
ternational exposition is the fact that
We should have to toady to royalty, or at
least that would be the result Of the
matter. Crowned heads, titled nobility,
I; accompanied with al the paraphern.lia
9 and pageantry Of monarchy, would con-
g satitate the main part Of the show. All
