THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
AnnOuns snaeaG for Uhe Fail
Term.

AnnOunS SHaenG for she Fail
Term.
The advertisement of the Normal
school for the Fall term will be
found In another column. We call
especial attention to it and wish to
say that under the present manage
ment IL seems to have met with a
degree of success which places it la
the front rank of such institutions
In the west. In point of attainments
for the time and money spent, in
discipline, In moral effects upon the
students, the present management
has won just praise. The President
has shown himself to be not only a
teacher of excellent qualifications,
but capapable of governing and har-
monizing a large body of students
who have arrived at An age to con-
tain many conflicting characteris-
tics. This latter qualification is
rather a rare one, and the school is
fortunate in this respect. No man
ever undertook so important and
delicate q trust, and executed it,
without much criticism. We be-
lieve, however, there has been little
cause of complaint of the profess
sional work of the present head of
our State Normal. He seems to be
actu ated by desire to do his whole
duty faithfully, and he has the
brains to do that duty ably. He has
been assisted, and will be, by a de-
voted and able corps of teachers,
whose soul is in their work. With
all the facilities and surroundings of
this institution, we can confidently
recommend it to the people of Kan
sas, as worthy of their support. Es-
pecially can we recommend IL to the
hundreds of young men and women
in Kansas who are fitting for the
profession of teaching. Without the
training it affords they will be de-
priVcd of half the results of their fu-
ture labor. With the aid of the
courseprovided by the management,
backed by natural ability and adapt
ableness to their calling, their
course will be cup ward and on
ward"

There is no new corn In this mar
ket yet except green, and no old
corn being brought in except small
loads by farmers who have more
than they need. Wholesale prices
20 cents per bushel. Our shippers
are paying 25 to 80 cents per bushel
far oats, aud 20 cents TO Sl.O5 for
wheat. Freight to st. Louis on the
A, Il. & S. +. is still up to $50 per
car. The NJ, X. s. I. has fallen from
$40 and $50 to a little under sos.
We think that it has in fact come
down to $50. It's figures in 1873
were $45 for oats and $50 for wheat,
and also were high. Come down,
gentlemen, at lenst to old prices, If
you propose to use Lyon county

A correspondent of the Leayeu-

A correspondent of the Leaven-
worth Times, writing from Win
field, Cowley county, says:
An important discovery in agri.
culture has been made by some of
our farmers. 1t Is that rye, soWn in
the fall, upon unbroken prairie, will
take roots and grow as if planted on
followed ground! 1t may be pas
tured during the fall and winter,
and will then bear a good yield of
grain. Two years of this cultiva-
ton will completely rot the sod as
if broken in. the first place with a
ploW. Some prefer to hetchel the
sod with fine tooth harrow. after
sowing, but it is often not done.
When first informed of this innoya-
ton in rye culture, / thought it
tishv, but investigation proved the
truth of it.
This, if true, is SO important that
the knowledge of il should be
spread without delay, and our prair
les all turned into a vast rye field
Will the Lesvenworth Times verif,
this statement Of it's correspondent
by explicit testimony, or else pro.
nounce his story a canard. Let Us
have all the facts, before the time
for fall planting.

Mr.. norton. RenIr.

We publish TO-DAY Mr.. NOrtOn's
reply to the charges contained in
Thos. Dorwin's article of last week.
The article is couchcd in gentleman
ly and dignified terms, which Is in
pleasing contrast to Mr.. Dorwin's
language. We suppose, really, that
there was no call for the attack, as
we believe Mr.. Norton could, in q
very short time, convince Mr.. Dor
win, were the opportunity offered,
that he was not the author of the
story in relation to the "bargain and
SALE" Mr.. Dorwin's own letter,
published In the reply to-day, is a
complete refntation of the charges
he brought against Norton. Here,
where Harry Norton is best known,
the charges need no reply, of course.
We will state that personal matters
arc of no concern in the agitation of
cheap transportation, and the point
we are trying to make shall not fur
Their be detTacted from by the adj
mission OF personal communica-
lions.

Speaking of the EldoradO Times
new business platform, the Topeka
Commonwealth says:
1t is but just, and if papers would
all combine it would be done. The
meanest of all mean things is for
these societies to run around town
to save fifty cents on q job of few
dollars and give it to some Job Of
flee that pays its hands abont half
price, and then expects the newspa-
pers to publish free. not only an adj
Vertisement of the proposed meet
ing, concert or whatever it may be,
but to give full account of it after
warde, when perhaps it is a matter
that interests only a score of peo-
pie and is q bore to the great mass
of readers. This is done almost ev-
cry day in nearly every community
where papers are published,

The Democratic House is being
divided against itself more and
more. The State Convention OF
Maryland Democrats have declared
against imitation, and protested
against any increase in circulating
currency. This news will be tri-
fie more bitter than gall to the Ohio
InflatiOnists, who rather expected
an Endorsement from the Maryland
ers. The latter did not furnish as
brilliant an example of unity as
Plymouth Church, anyhow. The
Convention was on the point of dis
solution once or twice, and ACCUSE
tons of fraud, bribery, corruption
and general stealing passed round
with true Democratic familiarity.

Our dispatches stated the other
day that mandamus had been ask
ed for, to compel the postmaster OF
New York to forward book on the
payment OF one cent for 2 ounces,
instead of one cent an ounce as is
charged. The claim set up, we be-
Iieve, was, that the act bY which
postage was increased was uncon-
stitutional, for the reason that ii
originated in the senate. 1t is IN
derstood that if the mandamus is
granted, the result will be to resume
the old law.-Commonwealth.
We trust the post Office depart
ment will be beaten in this case. The
present rate of newspaper postage is
an outrage on the people. For IN
stance, it costs . cents to send a pa
per from Emporia to Topeka, and
40 more to send it across the ocean
to Europe. One cent is high enough
in this country.

a crisis they would surrender all the
ground they have fairly, yet SO dear
ly, won. Experimenting with and
trusting the Democratic party as
now led, and as it is now comport-
ing itself everywhere, would be a
folly of which we trust the nation
will never be guilty. To believe
that, in the light of experience, and
under the sober teachings of histo-
ry, this people could SO far forget
their duty to themselves and their
country, as to deliberately reverse
their glorious history by ushering
into power q combination of men
whose inspiration and hope are in
the degradation and betrayal of the
nation, would be unworthy an
American citizen, and too absurd to
find Iodgment in any honest heart.
Kansas was largely disafected
last year, but still she gave heavy
Republican majority. Kansas peo-
pie have no notion of joining the
Democratic party, but insist that
the Republican party must and shall
be purified. The party is under OBJ
legation to comply with the univer-
sal demand of the voters for the
best men for Office and the soundest
public policy. We urge the Repub-
licGns of this section to put on the
armOr, and see to it that in the great
contest before us the Republican
party is thoroughly organized and
put In proper trim to command the
entire confidence OF its supporters.
1t is the duty OF the people TO do
this. The party is in their hands
and under their control, and it is
foOIishness either to stand back and
say they cannot rid IL of its object
ionable features, or to run after any
new party which really promises
nothing better. Prepare for action.
