sons have perished.

hour, in this city only five passengers
and two Of the crew are known to have
been saved The captain and second
mate were drowned. The steamship Is
now lying broadside on the rocks. She

Severed Of the northcrn ana

Several OF the northern and eastern
Kansas papers are urging Judge Guthr RE,
Of Topeka, for Governor in 1876. The
Judge is very good man, but when it
comes Governor time we are going to
dish him up a small Plumb pudding
down this way.-Osage City Press.
We have good authority for say
ing that Major Plumb is not nor
will not be q candidate. If he was
one he would be formidable COM
petitor and if elected would make
good governor.-Topeka Com
monwealth.
The remarks of the Common
wealth in regard to Col. Plumb are
true. We have learned from his
friends, that he will, in no case, al
low his name to be used for the
Governorship.
And in this connection, we wish
to say, although it is yet too early
to bring out candidates, that we
fully endorse what the papers have
said of Hon. John Guthrie. He
has the ability to discharge the du-
ties of the office with credit to him
self and the state. No man enjoys
to large rextent the confidence of
all who know him. Among all
our prominent men, there is none
with a purer record. While we do
Tot wish to be understood as en-
dorsing him for the position above
other citizens of the state. We
will say that we could most cheer
fully support him were he to be
made the centennial Republican
candidate for governor of Kansas.

Read Out.

We see that the Republican Cen
trail Convention OF Leavenworth
count, and others, at public meet
ing formally read ID. r. Anthony,
of the Leavenwortn Times, ont of
the party, and denounced the Times
as unworthy of support. The Times
supported all the Republican ticket
except Mr. Bend, for -eriG, and il
is stated as the reason for It's refusal
to support him, that the night Col.
Anthony was shot last spring, Bond
went into a saloon and drank q toast
to his death. If this is true the
Colonel was perfectly justifable in
refusing to support him for Office.
Now we will venture that Dan An
thony twill not out" by any such a
farce as that played at the meeting
referred to. He did just what any
member OF that committee would
have done under similar cream
stances. The old gag of reading
men out of a party for such a cause
is too thin to create any other sem
sation than that of a sneer.

The RAILROAD CombIna.lon.

We learn from Lawrence that tn G
Missouri Pacific is now taking all
the freight it can get from the Kan
sas Pacific and other roads at that
point and delivering it in st. Louis
at fifteen cents per hundred pounds.
The rate from this city is twenty.
Kansas city has no objection to the
rates from Lawrence, but if it is
worth but fifteen from Lawrence, il
is certainly not worth twenty cents
from Kansas City. Kansas City
shippers should note the discrimiua-
tion.-Kansas City Journal.
While we leave Kansas City and
Lawrence to contend each for its
own advantage, let us see what les
son the above statement has for
Emporia.
From Emporia to Lawrence is 81
miles, and from Lawrence to St.
Louis 3l2 miles. The freight char
ges on bushel Of corn from Empo-
ria to st. Louis are II cents; from
Lawrence to st. Louis, per above
statement, 81 cents. If the Law
renee rate were extended to Empo-
ria, the freight from here to st.
