n The editor of the Eldorado Times says he
voted for Lappin in the Convention, but has sincc
heard reports derogatory to his honesty, which
if not disproven, will compel him to repudiate
the nomination. Would it not be simply fair for
the Times to tell what the reports are, that it
may be known what to clear up' We know some
of the Opposition papers, and some of the disap-
pointed Republican papers, have made mysteri-
GUS intimations, but have never seen them put
into definite shape Mr.. Lappin is a banker, do
ing a legitimate and honorable banking business,
the same as all other genuine bankers do; and
in regard to this business, it is favorite theme
with some to talk of usury, expressing the poor,
and all that. The most honorable banker that
ever lived never escaped it. We have known
Mr.. Lappin from the day We first stepped on
Kansas soil; and if he has ever been guilty of
dishonesty, we have not heard of it, except in
the shape spoken of above.

Hc LusI i'm Hard Times.

We know an instance in which man has paid
three thousand dollars interest on five thuus.
and dollar loan, and can not, in these hard times
get an extension, although the loan is secured by
productive property to more than double its val
We know n man who renewed a note for some
thirty thousand dollars by note which increased
his Indebtedness sixteen thousand-all interest.
Gentlemen money lenders-you are killing your
own business by this metbod, aud you are op-
pressing men unjustly. You leave man no re-
source but bankruptcy, and in the end you do
not even make your own money.
True, the law gives the power, but justice and
right are not limited by what the law permits
man to do, nor is it always good policy to do
what the law allows.
The present distress in the country is not the
fault of the debtors, aud it is a cruel thing Ia
take advantage of temporary public stringrucy
to strip men of the Accommodations of hard years
of toll, and it may be of the savings of life time,
leaving aman in sold age to poverty and want.
Why do men, when their claims are secure,
when they are getting exorbtant rates of in
terest, when they know that property forced ou
the market will not pay their debt, aud thus
leave the debtor with property and obliga-
lions unsatisied, force sales in this wayi
1t is a mistake from selfish stand point
and wealth thus obtained will not bring what it
ought to do when rightly acquired.-KaRsas City

STRUCK HIS GAIT AT LAsT.-we have always
heard it said, that no animal, being or thing was
created without an object; or, in other words,
that ali things created for some special use.
Even the facetiOus grasshopper, since we gave
the account of the girl who unfortunately ate the
eggs, has been decided by eminent scientific men
and learned divines to have been sent into the
world to deter people from eating clay. But it
has still remained a mystery what old man Stew
art, or the Wathena Reporter, was created for;
but at last We have found out He is q writer of
Romance. He fills the whole first page of last
weeks Reporter with what he calls a report of the
proceedings Of the late State Convention. 1t re-
ally reads better than the old fellow usually
writes; and as there is scarcely word of truth
in it, except that the Convention was held and
the candidates nominated, it might be regarded
as an advertisement of Judge Price; but as the
Judge said nothing which the old man attributes
to him, and as no persons said anything with ref
srence to Judge Price which the old man attrib-
utes to them, the old man has evidently gone in
to the romance business. Henceforth We may
look to see his name regularly in the New York
ROsOer and other great literary periodicals of the
day, (for sale at all news depots,) in which field
We predict for him unbounded success.

AN OPINION AT LAsT-All this time we have
been waiting for jones' of Nevada. We knew
be would come. Silence was impossible TO this
soaring statesman from Table Mountain and
Rooster Gulch We knew that we should have
a memorandum in time, and it comes from Neva-
da The Territorial Enterprise, an excellent Neva-
da newspaper. by the way, and with inspiration
from the Rocky Mountain Daniel Webster, who
now sits in the seat of the lamented but unfor-
gotten Nye, informs us:
"A great deal of unnecessary ink and great
deal OF unnecessary anger are being expended
nowadays in the proof that Gen. Grant proposes
to run fora third term, which is to be followed
by a dictatorship for life and the founding of
royalty in the United States. We said above
unnecessary ink and anger, because we happen
to know positively that Grant has no such in-
tentions."
1t is long way TO go for an official statement;
but when We remember that il comes from Ne
vada Jones, who shares with Congress the con-
stitutional privilege of receiving communications
from the President on public affairs, our readers
will know its value.-NeW York Herald.

Hard Times.

Papers devoted to the business and financial
interests, tell us that better times are surely
coming, but have merely been postponed. 1t
would rejoice the people of the West to be assur-
edthat the postponement is not indefinite. At
the present outlook, gloomy Winter is ahead
for Kansas. The wheat and other small grain
crops were generally good; but the drought and
the grasshoppers have cut off the crops fully
one-half: Our people have generally depended
upon their hog money to ease them over the early
part of the Winter and tax-paying; but now
Kansas is almost depleted of hogs, and that re-
source will fail Tens of thousands of hogs have
been shipped to Iowa and other places to fatten,
and have generally gone at a low figure. What
remain are being rapidly bought mp, as buyers
are securing the country in every direction.
With good corn crops to fatten these hogs, they
would have made easy times for Kansas. When
We had good corn crops heretofore, immense num-
bers of cattle were wintered in the northeastern
Counties, making a handy Market aud bringing
good prices. That resource will be cut off the
coming Winter.
Added to other drawbacks, it is feared that the
grasshoppers have deposited their eggs in large
numbers, which will hatch out in time to destroy
the early crops next Spring. The chinch-bug is
still rioting in the fields, and doubtless providing
for an army of depredatOrs next Summer. If We
ever have sufficient rain to admit of blowing and
sowing farmers should take the risk of putting
in as much Fall wheat as possible. If it does
come through the Winter, there is less chance of
its being destroyed in the Spring than Spring
wheat.
But blue as things look, We are much better off
than some other sections. There is no prospect
of suffering, and people will not be compelled
to call for relief. The best course is to keep
stiff upper lip, and shove right along

Judge Price i'm the state Convention.

One is at q loss in reading the Wathena Re-
porters "ofieial" report of the State Convention,
in which it undertakes to correct the blunders Of
the Secretaries, to understand whether It's object
is to give a report of the Convention OF to pitch
into Judge Price. The editor gives unmistakable
evidence, all through, of how correctly he OBJ
served the proceedings. Judge Price did not
make the motion relative to "nesthiding," and
the remarks thereupon imputed to him. 1t was,
we believe, Kellogg, of Leavenworth, who made
the motion, and he accompanied it with no re-
marks. Mr.J. J. Buck did not make personal ap-
plication to Judge Price of the resolution against
drunkards, nor did he say disrespectful word of
him. Price did not make speeth, nor attempt to
make one, when the bolters were leaving. At
that juncture, he was appointed on the commit
tee to inform Gov. Osborn of his nomination. and
went out on that duty. Upon his return, and af-
ter Osborn had addressed the Convention, Price
learned that a vote had been taken for Lieuten-
art-GoyernOr. He was one Of the leading friends
of Mr. Morrill, for the Office, and had desired TO
say something in his favor when his was
proposed. This he was striving to do, when the
Convention refused to listen. He said his saw
in the way of explaining his vote, when his name
was called. And finally, Price did not make a
speech at the close of the Convention. He was
loudly called for, but in a few words excused
himself.
So much for the " official" side of the question;
and now, as to the facts of the case. Judge Price
was the most influential member of that Conven-
tion. He took an active part in organizing the
Osborn forces. He alone fought the fraud by
which Charley Jones attempted to get seat in
the Convention, although Jones was his friend;
and he carried that and every other proposition
which he undertook the report of the Com
mittee on Credentials. He managed to scoop sew
eral French gentlemen who thought they had
nice thing certain offices; q speech which he
made, settled the nomination of Lappin; and he
was largely instrumental in securing the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Randolph. Finally, he was made
| member of the State Central Committee; aud the
| Convention which he had numerically bored,
(according to the Reporter, loudly called him out
for speech at the close of their proceedings.
| Judge Price comes out out of the Convention
with the satisfaction of knowing that, although
he made special effort to assist his enemies, he
did good service for bis friends

PATRONS OF HusBANpRY

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY AND "GRASGERs."-
The terms "patrons of husbandry" and "gran-
gers do not seem to be properly understood.
Patrons are often erroneonsly called prapgers.
granger, as defined by Webster, is a bailiff.
All members of the order of ''ratrons of husban-
dry" are patrons The grange is the place where
they meet-the lodge With the same propriety
might we call Masons or Odd Fellows dodgers
because they meet in lodges. The word grange
Is derived from the French, and means granary,
or farm with all necessary ontbuildiDg. As
the degrees of the order can be worked in an
open field a. well as in the grsnsry, the place of
meeting is called a grange There are .1subor-
dinate granges," composed Of members who have
taken the first three degrees; Estate oranges "
composed OF the masters and past-masters Of the
subordinate oranges; and Hnatioual grange y
composed Of the masters and past masters of the
State oranges. There is no different designation
for the members of the separate bodies; all are
patrons The members Of the order should at
tempt to correct the impression about ''grangersv
which has become SO prevalent.
