WHICH SHALL TAKE

This is often a serious question with the inval-
id. He finds the market Hooded with proprietary
medicines, scores of which are recommended as
certain cures for his peculiar ailment. He reads
the papers, circulars, and almaHacs, and finds
each sustained by plausible arguments setting
forth its virtues and specific action. The rec
concentrations are as strong for one another
The cures claimed to have been wrought hy one
are rs wonderful as those claimed to have been
wrought By another. In his perplexity and doubt,
the sufferer is sometimes led To reject ALL But
1t should be borne in mind that this condition of
things is one that cannot be remedied. In "a land
where all are free, the good the truly valuable
must come into competition with the vile and

ATCHIsoN AND NEBRASKA RAILRoAD.-We have
received the report of the officers of the Atchson
and Nebraska Railroad Company to the stock
holders of the Company for the last year. The
gross earnings were S270, $3.50, and the operat-
ing expenses, insurance and taxes, s270, ,6s3. .06,
leaving balance in favor of the road of S272 04.
There was received for bond coupons, So, $500
and expended of this amount, S2,O65.3s, leaving
as available net revenue, $40, 1866. The float
ing debt of the company was reduced from &c.,
25s.s2 to S73, ,94O.7O.
Last year was disastrous one for this road.
The grasshopper devastations almost totally cut
of the immense grain business which supplied
the greater part of the freight of the road while
the unusually destructive floods of last Summer,
vastly increased the cost Of repairs The estimat-
ed earnings for the coming year, with less than
average crops, are s372, 900, and the estimated
expenses $4,000, leaving a balance in favor of
the road of $s7, 600. This will pay of the floating
debt, and leave something over With good
crops, the earnings will be much greater than
the above estimate.

TIMELY SUCcOR.-GOv. Osborn has just made
an extensive tour of North Western Kansas, to
look after the interests of the people. Reports
of threatened Indian troubles had reached him,
and he went to attend to them in person. He
was just in the nick of time. A large body of
Indians, who were on the point of devastating
Rocks County, heard of his approach, and aban-
doned their camp in such haste that they left
their pappOOses, breech-clouts and kinneknnick
behind. Proceeding to Norton County, he came
to place where three Indians had attacked the
cabin of a settler. Alone and unarmed, be at
tackled the three, killing four of them on the
spot, whereupon the whole five fled precipitate-
ly. The whole six were found dead the next
day, on the spot where the Governor slew them,
while he bore the scalps of all seven away in tri
umph. The Governor has returned home feel
ing better than he has at any time since the bat
tie of ElwoOd.
Jim Scarborough, who accompanied the Gov
ernor, as Adjutant, captured package of regis
tered letters during the trip, from which he
learned that the whole North West is enthusi-
astically in favor of the Governor for United
States Senator.

FAvORITIsM VS.. JUsTIcE-Much criticism has
been indulged in regarding the unfair action of
Judge Krekel, in cases of Bittinger and Adler and
Furst BIttinger is poor man, and is condemned
TO pay fine of s2,500 and to be imprisoned in
tne penitentiary for two years. Adler and Furst
are wealthy, and made most of their wealth by
systematic robbery of the Government. Before
they were sentenced, the extraordinary proceed
ing was witnessed of allowing Jewish Rabbi
to appear before the Court and make speech in
their behalf, who appealed to the Judge not to
disgrace their young children, who were innocent,
by sending their fathers to the penitentiary, as
common eonvicts. They were therefore hned a
comparatively small amount, and sentenced to
be Imprisoned in the County Jail for one year.
Blttinger has wife in a delicate state of health,
and who is also innocent; but no preacher was
sent before the Court to state that fact as rea-
son why he should not be punished. What bet
ter are those Jews than Chrstians' The United
States is one of the few Governments on the
globe that do not discriminate against Jews be-
cause of their race religion; and there is no
reason why it should discriminate in their favor.
We all remember that nearly the entire Jewish
fraternity in the United States opposed the cleo
tion of Gen. Grant, because he issued an order
prohibiting Jews from trading within his lines,
after repeated discoveries that they smuggled
granted them as a precautionary measure, to
keep the whole tribe from banding together to
prevent the execution of the laws!

THE DISTRICT JUDGEsHIP.-The question OF the
Judgeship of this Judicial District is beginning
to be actively agitated. Each of the Counties
in the District, we believe, will present one OF
more candidates. In Doniphan County, thus far,
we hear of but one. Albert Perry will he q can
Slidate. and, as far as we learn, is eminently
satisfactory to the entire bar of the County. He
is one of the Oldest members of the bar of North
ern Kansas, having been in practice in this Coun-
ty for almost twenty years; has the reputation
of being one of the best read lawyers and judges
of law in the State; and is of irreproachable
private character. He has never held an Office in
the State, and, we believe, has never been a can
didste for Office. In the race, he labors under
the disadvantage of being an "out" He cannot
conduct the Summer terms of the Court as cleo
tioneering auxiliaries to aid his election, nor
have the juries, as an act of courtesy, sign their
names to ready y-made testimonials to his trans
cendent ability, and deprecating the possibility
of his supersedure rs q calamity to the country.
But the bar of the District are almost universal
ly dissatisfied with the present regime. While
no one doubts the honesty and purity of charac-
ter of the present incumbent, all say that
change Is desirable. 1t may be said that the
people have some rights in the premises, as well
as the bar. This is true; but the people cannot
transact business in Court except through the
bar, and the interst of the bar is the interest of
their clients the people. Mr.. Perry has the con-
idence and respect Of the entire profession; and
while some of them may not prefer him for Judge,
none question his ability and fitness for the po-
sition. We urge no local considerations in his
behalf, for they should have no force in the Sc
lection.

y The other day, in Congress, Tucker, Of
Virginia, said that, before the war, he, Attor-
ney-General of Virginia, had decided that any
Justice of the Peace in the State had authority
to order the United States mails searched, and
Abolition or other Objectionable documents seiz-
ed and thrown out; and he still held to that
doctrine. Blaine, as usual, took him down.
Some of the Republican papers exhibit great in
dignation over this declaration. We are in fa-
vor of giving Hill and Tucker all the chances
they want. They have already rendered the
election of Republican President q fixed fact.
They let out the true principles and designs of
the Southern Democracy, which will be the con-
trolling element if the Democratic party comes
into power. They can in this way do the Repub-
lcan party more good than all the Republican
speakers and documents that can be made or
printed.

HrT HIM WHERE He LIvED.-In our article last
week, relative to the character which the Wa
tbena Reporter has been giving that town, we
touched the lecherous dyspeptic who runs it, on
the raw, and he howls through two mortal col
umns of rage and drivel, ending with an appeal
to the people of Wathena to give him better
support-as as an inducement, we suppose, to
stop his continued damage to the town. He vir-
tually confesses himself malicious liar, and that
if a man does not see proper to patronize him
and bow to his dictation, it is sufficient excuse
for him to slander him, even if he has to besmear
the whole town in order to do it. Our article
last week was suggested by the remark of per-
son not resident of Doniphan County, who was
in our office looking over exchanges. "What
sort of d-d town is that Wathena, any way .'
said be. 81 never got hold of a copy of their pa
per, that does not convey the impression that the
town is in the hands of horse thieves, gamblers,
and roughs." That's just the way it strikes a
stranger.
In that two columns of rant, the Reporter says
that Jack Selovers underground stable has been
turned into a mill, and that Jack is an honest
miller; but adds, that Jack is down on the pa
per for derouncing him. Now, that mill has been
in operation over a year; yet almost every
week of that time, the Reporter has denounced
the undergr ound stable and Jack Selovers vii
lainy. Within the last month it has done it,
Admits that it stigmatized grist mill as an un-
derground den for stolen horses, and an honest
miller as a scoundrel. In another paragraph, it
refers to q man in Wathens who has work done
at the Chief Office, a man of the same stripe
That man, be it known, Is one of the oldest citi-
zens of Watheua an honorable business man, one
who last year opposed what was called the Sell
over ticket, and was even sent to Jail because he
exhibited more back bone in his opposition than
any of the rest. And he is denounced as being
one of the same stripe, because he will not SUBJ
init to the dictatorship of the whelp who runs
the Reporter, and pay tribute to him.
And this is the way in which Wathena has
been advertised to the world as hell-hole, be-
cause some of her citizens refused to recognize
the contemplate compound of conceit, jealousy
and dyspepsia who runs the Reporter, as "My
