THE s0-cALLED INDEPENDENf SENA.
TORS.

As our readers know by this time, The
TINES always speaks the truth. We aim
to be correctly posted on all subjects, and
express our candid opinions freely and
without fear of contradictions. Last
month when Messrs. Cameron, Christianc y,
Paddock and Mcmillan were elected to the
United States Senate, we said time and
again that they would go into the Republi-
can caucus, and act with that party in the
future. The dispatches confirm our asser-
tions, and tell us that every one of these
gentlemen went into the caucus, and par
ticipated ir the discussions. The God in
the Constitution organ of this city, said
that these gentlemen would act independ-
ntly, and not with either of the political
parties. But they had too much good,
sound sense for that. People have come
to look with distrust upon professed Re-
formers.
1t is so much easier to talk and abuse
Others, than to faithfully perform the du-
ties of a responsible position. 1t is SO
with most Democrats and Reform
ers. They are we'll posted in the art OF
Singing mud" at their political opponents,
they can abuse and villify faithful, good
and honest officers; but when they get into
power, they prove themselves to be a cor.
rupt and designing set of demagogues
ready to plumber and steal when an occasion
offers. The people know them, and have
suffered by their rascalities, and will pause
before placing them in positions of homo,
and trust

THE WAY TO WEALTH.

As general thing newspaper articles in
favor Of anything, serve only 10 agitate the
subject and bring it before the popular
mind in Its true shape. This particularly
applies l.. articles urging people to under
take any enterprise. Printers ink is not
capital stock, or an editors pen machinery,
vet both both go far to impress citizens
with the importance OF a subject. Kansas
is growing State, and in many particulars
an unfCstunate one, but because We have
had the drouih, the grasshopper and the
chinch bug, we need not despair. There is
yet hope for us, if We develop our resources,
and do not depend solely on the farmer for
existaace Railroads are all good enough,
but they must be supported, and
from whence is their support to come,
II not from the farmer and the manufactur-
er? When the farmer meets with misfor-
tune we are .low lost, but if the people Of
Kansas regard their Interests, they will in
augurate a system OF manufactures which
VIII Eiaht our 1tdie iHe Tichest III the
Union. Leavenworth, especially, should
think over this fact Ii is true that she is
thS principal manufacturing city in the
West, but sill she must take steps 10 retain
her commercial Importance, and we believe
that manufacturing is the only way TO ac-
comp!ish this end. Let enterprising men in
this city bear this in mind, and act on it

SCANDAL

That Is what seems TO effect the whole
country. The very air seems to be infected
with filthy details of the immoral and Ii
ceniious conduct OF men and women who
profess TO be Christians. We have not the
least doubt but that the Tilton-Becchcr
scandal, in measure, contributed 10 in
crease the number Of these cases. Old Ply
mouth Church has proven itself thoroughly
rotten, congregation Of kissing scandal
mongers, weekly listening to man expoumd
the gospel who has been guilty of adultery
with one Of his flock. Then came the Dan
vile affair, where an Indiana belle got her
self into trouble by being too intimate with
a male friend, and the matter is now in the
courts and is being ventilated. Next comes
Council Bluffs, with a runaway couple with
about the same results as our local sensa-
tion, except that the irate father came out
Hsecond best" in that town. A:chison has
been excited over case Of similar nature,
and tomorrow morning The TINES will
give its readers the outlines Of another
scandal, in which Cincinnati drug clerk
figures conspicuously. Parents will have
to watch their daughters closely, as the
young men are becoming very restless.

THE cAs1LE-Hous1oN LIBEL CASE.

In this case, yesterday the testimony was
conclusive. The proof was positive that
Houston published in thee ommercial, a pa
per of which he is sole proprietor and edi-
tor, Mr.. Castle as defaulter. There was
no proof given that Castle was now, or
ever had been defaulter From informa-
ton given to us, we had supposed that the
proof would be furnished that Castle had
defrauded the Northwestern Life Insurance
Company. Now the public are anxious to
see how the little thimblerigger will decide.
He takes until Monday next. Would an
honest man take that length of time?
Bets have been made that Houston would
not be held for trial. Wood stands pledged
to Houston. The proof is positive that
Houston did libel Castle. Wood will now
have to gig back. When a man deviates
from the strict line of truth, he is sure to
get into trouble.
Woods reputation for years has been bad.
He was for years a fourth-rate police court
lawyer, and drunken one at that. As a
justice OF the peace, his reputation for in
tegrity was not above par. Since his ap-
pointment as Police Judge, he is understood
to be under the immediate advice and con-
troll of few bigots. Woods newborn zeal,
coupled with his former habits, may give
an explanation Of his present course.
While Houston has been proved guilty Of
libel, unprovoked and malicious libel, yet
We affirm that Wood will not bind him
over.

KANSAS EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.

The time for the annual meeting of the
Kans1s Editorial Association has been fixed
for "Wednesday, April 7:h, 1875, at d
o'clock Pm. The place agreed upon at the
last annual meeting was Manhattan, Kan
sas.
The officers OF the Association were in
structed 10 make arrangements for an ex-
cursion to Galveston. The Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas Railway have written, offering
free transportation over their line from
Junction City and return. Correspondence
with the lines from Dennison south will
soon decide whether transportation will be
furnished over other roads.
With the exception of few prominent
officials who will lie specially invited, the
party will consist OF members Of the press.
If proprietors and regularly employed
editors do not desire to join the party, it is
expected that they will not assume the
privilege of appointint substitutes. Eii-
tors who intend to 60 on the excursion will
please notify the Secretary, W. W. Creigh-
ton, Leavenworth, Kansas; as early as pos
sible, in order that accommodations can be
furnished for all. D. r. ANTHONY,
President.

THE sHAPLEY ENGINE.

In fitting up The NEW TINES OFFICE,
we purchased one of the "Shapley" five
horse power boiler and engines, OF Messrs.
Tully & Wilde, No. 20 Platt street, New
York. 1t has been in use nearly three
months, and We can speak Of the merits OF
the "Shapley" from actual experience.
The boiler is simple, made of good heavy
iron, with diving flues, so constructed as to
render it almost impossible to burn out the
fiues. The engine is simple, plain and runs
with little noise. The amount Of fuel con-
sumed is less than any engine We ever used
We unhesitatingly pronounce the "Shap.
ley" the best constructed, the safest, surest
and most economical boiler and engine in
the market.
The 'Shapley" can be set and run in any
place, with no more inconvenience than a
large sized heating stove
Our opinion of the value of the "Shap.
ley" is sustained by the principal engineers
of the city, who have visited the THE TIMEs
Office, and pronounced it the most perfect
piece of mechanism of the kind in the mar.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

Tie introduction, some time ago, of bill
on assessment and taxation, and It's passage
by the House, has awakened great deal Of
interest and thought in this matter. The
letter and spirit Of the law is that taxation
shall be fair and equal. That the rich man
shall pay as much and no more than the
poor man. That personal property shall be
taxed the same rs real estate. But we do
not find such to be the case on the con-
trary, we are Of the opinion that the poor
man, in his delapidated shanty, is taxed
more in proportion to his wealth, than the
nabob who can command hundreds of thous-
ands, and who enjoys life in every posi-
bic way. We think the great evil lies in
the fact that real estate is most always, and
especially in this State, assessed
at Its full value, while the
mOneyed man, who will not invest his
bonds and money, escapes taxation. As a
proof Of this, We need only examine the
statute books and assessment rolls, and We
find that the law requires every man to list
all moneys, bonds (other than U. S., and
all personal property. But he fails to do
it, through ignorance or by perjuring him
self, and the consequence is that you will
not find 5000 in money taxed in this
county, very few mortgages, and no bonds
This is the great evil, and until it is cor
rected, the poor man will continue to be
oppressed.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1875-03-11
OFFICIAL BONDS.

In last weeks issue of a weekly paper in
this State we find somewhat novel idea
advocated. Experience in the matter
would commend it to many counties who
have been robbed by thieving office-holders.
This paper proposes to do away with all
official bonds. The reasons are that when
an official proves defaulter, his bondsmen
never hold themselves responsible, and
evade the law through the agency of some
smart lawyer, or technicality. Another
reason is that it is much better that the
whole city, county or State should suffer
such loss than few individuals who be-
lieved in the honesty of their friend. and
had no interest in the fraud. The PROPOSE
tion is somewhat novel, and if acted upon,
the laws should be so made that the crini-
nal could not go unpunished, and the pen-
alties should be very severe. We want laws
that Will prevent such wholesale defalca-
tions as We have had lately.

THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1875.
T1E LEGIsLATuRE

at Is satisfactory To know, that with ali
the wrangiing, the legislature has passed
few good laws. We understand that the
fees Of Sherifis, ard Clerks Of the District
Courts have been reduced about thirty per
cont. The salary II the County Attorneys
has also been reduced. The two first nam
ed officials have for many years made ex-
iravaganl fees. IL has been impossible TO
collect debt Of Sl00, in our courts for less
than SI00 costs and expenses. This was all
WRONG. Justice cost too much.
OuE. delegation deserves great credit for
having voted soiidly in favor Of wiping out
the Criminal Court, thereby saving the
county 5000, and the State $4,000. The
Insurance law has also been amended 50 as
to improve it in many particulars, reducing
the salaries paid, and otherwise making it
in accordance with the wishes OF the people.
The Penitentiary road bill was absolutely
necessary. II costs the State little or moth
ing, and the location of the prison renders
the road z necessity. Ii our members had
had tie back bone 10 have demanded
FIVE thousand dollars for the Orphan Asylum
and insisted upon it, We think ten men,
bers could have secured it. 1t seems, how
ever, that the Legislature of Kansas can
appropriate over half million of dollars
for various purposes, not one dollar OF which
Is appropriated for a more holy purpose
than the feeding Of nearly one hundred
poor destitute waits congregated in that
Asylum, from all parts Of the State. Pre-
iudice, what hated word that is, and
how many wrongs are committed in thy
name. One great wrong was committed by
our delegation in refusing TO make the Of
fee Of City Clerk elective, and the Fire
Marshal appointive. The first should be
elected, and the last appointed. The
names Of the members who insisted on this
should be exposed. 1t is evident that per-
sonal motives instead of principles governed
them IN, thicr action.
Sowever We are thankful that the legis-
laure did 80 much good and no more harm.

sSnRE Ran DEMOCRAT

The Democratic legislature Of West Nir-
giaia has ordered the Impeachment of two
Desaocratic State officers, the State Auditor
and State Treasurer We are not told what
they Jhaye been impeached for; but it is
certain il was not for voting the Republi-
can ticket Both OF these officers are DEM
ocrats, and it is presumable they belong to
the first families OF that State Their I'M
peachment 10y Democratic legislature is
pretty clear proof their case must lie a very
bad one. Itit had been capable OF being
covered Up, the world would never have
heard of IL We fear very much, from
these snd kindred Developments, that the
Democratic victories OF last year have not
brought the millennium about, as we ex-
pec;ed. These two deiinquenis, while they
were out OF Office, doubtless denounced
every Republican ofice-holder as a thief |;
ana as soon as they got into Office them
selves proceeded to show easy it was for
Democrats to do the very thing they
charged their opponents with doing.

INJURED HIS CAUSE.

Tracy is catching it on every hand.
Moulton's partners united n a card vindica-
ting tha. witness from the wordy lawyers
insinuations; Bowen, in effect, tells him
that he lies and offers to prove it from the
witness stand, and now comes the New York
EIpress declaring that his statement that
Tilton wanted Beecher to buy that paper is
all imagination" and that it never heard
OF the story before, "either in detail or in
general, or in any way whatever" "If, says
the Erpress "Mr. Beecher or Mr.. Tilton ev-
er heard of any such venture, scheme or
plan, they possess knowledge which could
only come from clairvoyance, or in what
was never revealed to us; and so know a
great deal more about us and our business
than we do ourselves" 1t is pretty evident
already, tha, Tracy's zeal has far outstrip-
ped his discretion and to thatextent injured
the cause he IL anxious to serve.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Senator Mcdonald, the new Senator from
Indiana, has bee interviewed by Louis
vile CoarieT-Jou7aat correspondent, and in
expressing his views on the next Presiden-
tial election suggests, As a Democratic ticket
in 1876, Thos. Hendricks, of Indiana, for
President, and Gen. Gordon for Nice-Presi-
dent. He says Hendricks and Gordon
would be a ticket that would sweep the
country"
In our opinion they would have to dc
some hard work to sweep Kansas. There
is yet some patriotism left in our State
We have not forgotten the woes and trou.
bles brought upon our country by such trai
tors as Gordon. But we cannot help asking
if liberal Democrat like Mcdonald sug
gests such a ticket, will not the Toombs
Eaton Democrats give us a ticket with JEFF
Davis for President, and the keeper of Libby
Prison for Vice-President
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1875-03-11
MANUFACTURING,

On Sunday morning We urged the people
OF Kansas TO encourage and promote manu-
featuring enterprises. Leavenworth city
and county should particularly agitate this
subject. 1t is an unlimited source OF wealth
to a community. Read what a Chicago
Tribune reporter says OF visit TO canning
and picking establishment in Crystal Lake,
Wisconsin
The first building visited was the pick
ling department. This is an immense
structure, covering something over an acre
of ground, and is furnished with receiving
tubs having an aggregate capacity Of 10O,-
0S0 bushels of cucumber pickles. As it is
not uncommon in the season to receive 80
wagon-loads Of pickles day, of course
every facility must be afforded for their i'm
mediate delivery.
Connected with this department is the
vinegar factory, which has capacity of
making 800 gallons day. In the coop
er-shops, 80 barrels, besides innumerable
smaller packages, are turned out every day
in the year.
The canning building covers about an
acre and half of ground, and in the con-
struction OF which the same system of econ
omy OF space and labor has been closely
adhered to-
In this department 10000 cans are filled
every day with every kind of fruits, vegeta-
bles, meats, and game known, and of a
quality sufficiently good to take the highest
medal at the Vienna exposition.
There are employed in the works from
$50 to 500 hands, according to the season,
and 400 growers, representing over 5000
acres OF land, do the outside work.
The stockholders of this immense corpo-
ration are the members of the Crystal Lake
Horticultural society, a corporation repre-
senting 4S0 members.
The capital of the concern is 100000,
and as it last year payed a dividend of q
per cent, it is very easy to believe that
there is none in the market for sale at any
price.
As an evidence of the immense value
1t has been TO the farming community of
that vicinity, the president showed that it
had increased the value of property in the
township over one and a half million OF
dollars. Land which three years ago was
a drug on the market at $50 an acre, can
not now be bought for $3.50 an acre.
