TIE METROPOLIS,

According to advertisement q meeting
was held at Wyandotte on the evening
of the 23d inst. for the purpose Of demon.
strating the fact that the mouth Of the
Kaw is the proper place for building the
Metropolis Of Kansas. The meeting was
attended by quite number of prominent
men from different parts of the State.
Col. S. A. Cobb was chosen chairman OF
the meeting, and he made speech of
considerable length showing that the
mouth of the Kaw was the proper situa-
ton for the great metropolis of the Mis-
souri, Valley, and backed this statemen,
with "facts and figures" A number of
Vice-Presidonts were chosen from diff.
ferent counties in the State, and among
them was our Probate Judge, n. F.
Acers. Senator Harvey, Col. st. John,
Geo. Crawford and others addressed the
meeting. Before adjournment the meet
ing adopted the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, the railroads of Kansas
which converge at the mouth of the Kan.
sas river command the trade of very
large portion of our State, and convey a
large part of the products of KANSAS to
market in their locality, which will by
necessity build up a large city at this
point aud whereas, it is but justice that
the State of Kansas should reap the fruits
of her products and commerce there
fore. he it
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the Kansas railroads which
discharge passengers and freight at the
mouth of the Kansas river ought to ex-
ert their influence to have the new Union
depot established within the limits Of
the State: and, further,
Resolred, That q committee of seven
be appointed to draft an address upon
the subject and lay the same before the
officers controlling these railroads, and
the legislature of Kansas, with view to
obtain united and harmonious action on
the part of all parties interested.
The people at the mouth of the kaw
have proven-to their own satisfaction
that Wyandotte is the proper place for
the Kansas metropolis; now let US have
the metropolis.

THE investigating commission that
has been examining into the alleged In
dian frauds has closed its investigation.
The result of their labors is not yet
known, but the chairman has made pub
lie the fact that the commission are
unanimous in their conclusions; he also
announces that their report will be ready
by the 4th of October. In reference to
the Indian policy the chairman of this
commission is of the opinion that it is
all wrong. He thinks that the Indians
are treated too leniently, and recommends
that no more treaties he made with them
and that they be placed under the con.
troll of the army. The cost of getting
supplies to some of the Indians is greater
than the original cost of the goods, which
is ridiculous. If a nation of able-bOdied
men and women are to be supported in
idleness the government should at least
designate the place where it would dis
tribute its bounty. By all means let the
army have entire control of the Indians
and do away with contractors and Indian
commissions.

The two Judgeships made vacant by
the election of John B. Goodin and w.
4. Brown to Congress must be filed at
the general election, this fall. Both ap-
pointees, H. w. Talcott of the Allen
county district and 8. r. Peters of the
Marion county district, are candidates
for election. and both stand , fal chance
of succeeding. It seems doubtfVi il Mr..
Peters is to have opposition at all, the
papers in his district generally support
ing him. Judge Talcott will have - .
competitor q Mr.. Baylies. but We pre-
dies that Judge Talcott will carry of the
lavTeis. Gov. Osborn should take much
pride to himself over these appoint
ments, for they have proved judiciously
nade.-Topeka Times.

In AN article under the caption of "a
New use for Criminals" the Scientific
american shows that the present mode of
dealing with criminals is not only very
inefficient but is also very costly, the
law sftsn having more terror for good
citizens than for evil doors, for the former
has all the costs to pay while the latter
has nothing to lose and everything to
win. To reverse this thing, and in order
that criminals may be made useful, that
journal makes the following suggestion ::
"Our suggestion would therefore be
that such portion of the criminals con-
victed from day TO day, as might be
found available, should be turned over
to boards of surgeons and physicians, du-
ly appointed, under whom they might
be used for the investigation of sanitary
problems, for the good of humanity"

In AN article on the "Terminii of
Railways" the Kansas City journal Of
Commerce has the following sensible
remarks:
Commerce, which in its movements
means railroads, is not controlled by
either press or statutes. Kansas City got
these roads and they terminated here be-
cause it was their interest to do so. As
long as it SO continues they viii so re-
main. When we cannot SO make it they
will stop theii trains and make their
transfers elsewhere, and all we could say
or do would not prevent. Let US, then,
like full grown clear-headed men, go to
work for the practical results. SO clearly
within our grasp, and leave this cry of
disappointed side-track town to such,
who have no other methods of discussing
the metropolis problem.

DISTRICT JUDGE.

Last week the Humboldt Union and
Wilson County Cit;ses both mentioned
the fact that the lawyers Of this judicial
district were discussing the propriety of
holding q convention for the purpose of
nominating = candidate for Judge, and
then asking of the people that they accept
their decision - final. We have not
heard anything of such . convention and
have no idea whom the lawyers of the
district would recommend, but We don't
think the nomination woodland we
know it should not-have much influence
witch the voters. 1t may be hat such is
the case, but it is not in accordance with
the spirit of our laws that courts should
be run in the interest of lawyers. The
people foot the bills and are supposed to
be interested in our courts; they also
pay attorneys for their services and ad-
vice when needed, but at this time we
think the nomination of . candidate for
Judge by the lawyers for the people is
little disinterested labor on the part of
the former not called for by the latter.
Lawyers have the same rights in this
matter that men in any other profession,
or non-professional men have no more,
no less. If it is claimed that the lawyers,
on account of their better knowledge of
law, can make the best selection for
Judge, it can with equal pnopriety he
urged that on account of their legal learn
ing they could make the best selection OF
the men who make our laws. 1t would
not be any more absurd for the lawyers
of the State to ask Of the people that
they be permitted to choose our Repre-
resentatives. State Senators and Con-
gressmen than it is for those of district
to request the right Of selecting Judge.
If the attorneys Of the district want to
nominate a candidate, all right; but
simply because they are attorneys they
should not ask that their Recommended
ton insures his. election. Such a pro-
cedure on their part would he one of the
best illustrations of "cheek" OH record.

THE Republicans of Massachusetts, met
in State convention at Worcester last

for Governor; Horatio G. Knight, Lieu
tenant Governor; Chas. Endicott, Treas.
urer; Julius L. Clark, Auditor; Chas r.
Train, Attorney General; Henry B.
Price, Secretary of State. Henry Will
son was chosen President and on taking
the chair made speech in favor of reform
and hard money. In speaking of the
finances he said:
in stress of war when creditors and
armies were unpaid. the government is
sued its promises to pay and made them
legal tenders. When that enactment
was made the government in good faith
intended that these notes should be re-
deemed in gold, or in interest bearing
bonds, but ten years have passed and
these promises to pay still remain unful.
filled. The greenbacks have indeed been
largely appreciated, and we are Justly
proud of the credit of the nation in the
market Of the world, but we do not and
cannot, IS Americans, take pride in the
singular fact that stray note from an
unknown bank in one of the British
provinces can be sold in State street for
q premium of more than twelve per cent
over one of our legal tender netes, with
all the wealth of forty millions of people
behind it. The plighted faith of the ma.
ton, the honor of the government, the
enduring interests of capital and labor,
all demand that the government, by wise
and prudent legislation and Administra-
ton, should at the earliest practicable
period make IFS notes equal and CONVEX
tible into gold"

The convention in Crawford county
for the purpose of nominating temper
ance ticket is reported to have been q
failure. When the temperance horse is
trOtted out for a political race there are
too many discarded politicians from
other parties that want to ride, and he is
never able to win the race with such
load. The only thing we have ever
known the temperance men to accom-
plish by running temperance ticket
and that surely never helped the cause
was 10 elect Democrats to Office.

The u. 8. Government wants S5, 600
from this State to pay for four Indians
killed in the border war of August 1874.
Gov. Osborn, in pointed and compre-

is unjust. Indians may be worth q, 25)

allowed to leave their reservations and
commit dspredations on the frontier it
will be difficult matter TO collect that
or any other amount for them when they
are killed.
