PHILIDELPaAI, Sept, %, 1876.
To the Editor Of the Commonwealth.
Kansas is making an exhibition of
fruits in It's building which for size,
beauty, perfection of varieties and
artistic arrangement, is unexceIied by
any other collection upon the Centen-
NAL grounds. From thirty to forty
thousand people visit the building
daily. The enthusiastic and emphatic
complimentary expressions winch are
constantly falling from the Iips of
those composing the surging mass OF
human beings makes Eansans feel
proud of their State. This magificent
genealogical display should be Kept up
during the season. AS the fruit exhi-
bItlon of other States ia Pathological
Hall are already being removed, that
OF Kansas will stand out in bold RELIEF,
attracting the attention of thousands
upon thousands of visitors who will
hereafter swell the tide of Immigration
to our State. The Centennial manag-
ers have exhausted their resources for
collecting and forwarding additional
articles. Au earnest appeal is there
fore made to the several counties of the
State to make choice selections of
irnit and vegetables at the district and
county fairs, and in such other manner
as the people in different localities may
deem best, and forward the same by
express, prepaid. Each county doing
this will have its contributions prom
inently displayed as a county collec-
ton, with full credit given to each
individual contribution thereto.
By order of the Board.
ALFREC GRAY, Secretary.
We publish the above to call Mr..
Gray's attention to the promise con-
tanned in the concluding paragraph.
We are informed that the exhibition of
fruits at the pomological exhibition in
Philadelphia, was so placarded that the
entire credit for the display was given to
Leavenworth county, and that Lyon
and other counties which con-
tributed largely, were not given any
credit at all for contributing anything.
The cheek displayed by some per-
sons in behalf of Leavenworth county,
was absolutely gigantic. Will Mr.. Gray
please to look up this matter, and see
that in the Kansas building

are very scarce. We at least have a
public duty to perform, and we hope
Go perform it honestly and from honor
able motives, with an entire disregard
of the pecuniary interests which we
or anyone else concerned in public
entertainments, may have involved.
We are entirely able to stay away
from any show we can't afforl to paw
our way into, and to judge OF its merits
or dement's as candidly and as free
from prejudice in one case as the 9TH
er. We always return a full equiva-
Lent in the way of advertising for any
number of dollars or tickets we receive,
and such patronage places us under no
obligations whatever to Withhold 8
criticism whenever we think 1t is de-
served and proper and in the line OF
our duty as public journalists.

A RensIbIe suwwe.tIon,

The EMPoRIA NEWS makes an i'm
portant aud very sensible suggestion,
In an article which We quote elsewhere,
~ to plan for raising the revenue for
our State Educational institutions.
It IL simply that instead OF appropria-
ting to these institutions the proceeds
OF q light tax OF one third of a MILL
the levy to be decreased as the perma-
nent endowment funds are increased
by the proceeds of the sales OF the
lands belonging TO the various institu-
lions. This plan would be infinitely
superior TO the present method, which
is about as had as it can be. Now,
those members of the Legislature
who are 80 unfortunate as to represent
the localities where these Institution
are situated, are placed in the most
annoying and embarrassing position.
Their Independence upon all topics OF
l44tslafiOn Is hampered by the neces-
ftT they are supposed to be under of
occurring appropriations for these in
stitntions. The State is insensibIy
taught to look upon the schools them
selves, not as State institutions for
which the whole State Is responsible
aad In which IL Is Interested, but as
local Institutions belonging somehow
% the people where they are situated.
Nothing could be more Unfortunate
for the institutions. or for the State
ltaelf The plan proposed by the
NEW8. has been adopted, as it saws.
In Wisconsin for her University and
was long ago adopted In Michigan for
her splendid State University.
From present prospects our Legisla-
tnre this winter, win be comprised to
An unusual extent OF our ablest and
most experienced men. The appropri-
atIone will necessarily be made for two
years, and we are not without hone
that this whole question OF the relation
Of the State 70 its higher educational
Institutions will be thoroughly DISCUSS
cd and settled upon permanent and
liberal basIs.-Lawrence Journal.

CAPT. Aaahony'S Defense

We give mp much of our room
this week to the long defense made
by our Republican candidate for
Governor, Capt. Geo. T. Anthony,
before the Central Committee at
Topeka last week, This defense
shows that the bitter charges made
against him, and which for q time
seemed to affect his good standing
to some extent, were based on
TRIVIAL circumstances which are liza
BILE 10 occur and do occur ia the life
OF large majority of active bust
ness men. The defense will GER
tainly provo very satisfactory to
Mr.. Anthony's friends here, and we
uuhesItatingiy say we can see no
reason why any Republican should
vote against him on account of these
charges. In fact, his character comes
out all the brighter from this con-
test with bitter personal enemies.
Personal hatred, IL is now more ap-
parent than ever, was the sole mo-
tive for the SANDERS. We shall re-
fer to this matter again, as our
space will not admit all we want to
say about It this week. Read his
record CkfefulIy.

GENTLEMEN: We, residents of the VII.
lage of Medina, county of Orleans, State
CT New L DIRK, do state, that We were well
and personally acquainted with Can't,
Geo. L. Anthony, now residing in LeaV-
enworth, Kansas, and who formerly re.
sided in this place.
Mr.. Anthony was engaged in business
here for ten years, and in 1862 assisted in
recruiting and organizing the 18th New
York battery, of which he was elected
Captain, and with which he served until
the close of the war.
During all the time Capt. Anthony re-
sided or remained in this State he was re-
garied as an honest, upright. public spir-
tied man, Of high moral character, who
won aud retained the respect. confidence
and esteem of his neighbors.
He returned to Medina at the close of
the war, when finally Mr.. Anthony de-
termined to remove to his present resi-
dence in Kansas. 1t was mater of NH
lie report that he was to remove from our
State, and he LETT the same in public man
ner. not clandestinely, nor In any way to
his dishonor or shame.
We have seen reports of the attacks
made upon him by certain parties in Kan
sas in relation to his conduct here and the
manner OF his leaving the State, and we
pronounce the same false and untrue.
Capt. Anthony proved q good officer,
and we never heard of any conduct on
his part, while IN the army, at all deroga-
tory to his character.
