facts so utterly demolish his arguments.
so grant the above to be a literal fact.
What has it to do with the resumption
law, and the exclusive gold basis Of val
ne! Gold is one thing. gold ard silver is
another thing. It is not impossible to do
as has been done in this country-make
our currency legally redeemablc in gold
and silver. That is what Senator Jones
has been appealing to Congress to do, and
his speech is full of elaborate and power
ful statistics TO show that that is what
we ought to 90. But the resumption par
ty of to- day refuses to do any such thing.
1t is on an exclusive gold basis, and is
trying to force gold specie payment sys-
TEN into operation. What it can do. it
won't do; what it can't do, it is bound to
ruin the country trying to do. Gold and
silver has nothing more to do with the
present specie payment undertaking, than
gold and iron, or gold and wheat, or gold
and paper, except that silver is allowed
to be legal tender for very little debts. II
as Resumption virtually admits, the gov
eminent can't resume with gold alone,
why does he oppose resumption in
gold and silver, which he says to be
abundant and increasing. He favors an
exclusive gold basis, by fayoring the re-
sumption law, so what has the supply of
gold and silver to do with sustaining his
position?
The completion of this review of Re-
sumptlou's statements will have to be
crowded over until next week. Consider
able space has been devoted to his state
ments, because they are careful collec-
ton of the standard assertions and argu-
ments advanced in support Of the gold
specie payment policy, and are being
relied upon by many prominent men and
journals as very powerful.
1 cannot find that their alleged facts
furnish any adequate basis for the thee.
ries they try to build up. and am sur.
prised that men who are generally so
clear headed and cautious as know my
friend Resumption to be, will SO hastily
jump at incorrect conclusions on this
money question. But when the most in
telligent man gets gold bug in his ear,
it seems TO deafen him to anything but
the importance of gold. G.

FROM CHASE COUNTY.
A Letter that Tells Something About
Everything.
BAZAAR, Chase county Kan.l
June 9th. 1875.

| BAZAAR, Chase county Kan.l
June 9th, 1876.
DEAR NEWS: l have patiently
waited for some of your old CORES
pOndents in this part of Chase county
to inform the world through your pa
per, of what is going on in this form
erly noted community.
Crop prospects are flattering, ex-
cept as to the present condition of
wheat, which is being considerably
damaged by rust; but it is hoped with
cool and windy (what an idea that
wind should be necessary weather
it may yet come out all right, corn tho
backward never looked better nor
cleaner at this time of the season.
The farmers as class are recognizing
the Importance of raising tame grass
and consequently there is considera-
BILE more acreage sown to millett or
Hungarian than everbefore.
Quite an excitement was created
here this spring by the proposition to
aid a railroad through this township.
It would be hard to fore-tell the re-
suit of bond election in Bazaar and
hatfield Green unless the people
would first realize that it was strictly
necessary to vote bonds in order to Sc
cure a road and that by refusing or
neglecting to extend reasonable aid
would allow some more enterprising
locality get away with the spells, and
reap the reward OF cheap rates of fares
and freights. saw a statement in
the NEWS that the NJ. X. & T. &. r.
was costing your county about 900
a year, and your people could not af-
ford to do without 1t, for that money.
Our road up the Cottonwood did not
cost us anything, and dare say the
people from east to west, the entire
breadth of our country would serious
ly protest against the removal of their
road. With us it is matter of saving
as well as policy. Goods would be
sold as cheap, almost at our doors, as
they are now sold either at the Falls or
Emporia, and our produce would
bring US as much at home lat nearest
depot as We now realize by hauling
either to Emporia or Cottonwood.
Ten cents per bushel is quite a profit
on any kind of grain, and [ dare say
it costs about that to deliver it to near
est. market now, from most places
above Bazaar. A railroad the entire
lenghth of this township north and
south would be 10 miles, at $1,000 per
mile, $4,000. Seven per cent, 80
years bonds, yearly interest $3.50.
We have something over q quarter of
q million of taxable property, and the
10 miles of road bed at average yalua-
ton would add sos, 600 more. Now
it Is easy to ascertain what is would
cost each tax payer in the township
each year for the use and benefit of q
railroad, leaving the question of raise
of value of real estate for each one in
terested TO figure out for himselE-for
one believe 1 could stand it and save
money in the long run. But as there |
Is no Immediate prospect for q road |

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Burlington Patriot copies re
marks of the Commonwealth and
News, and then adds:
Perhaps Lyon and Shawnee art
both trlf1e hasty in this matter
The gentlemen named are capable
and we regard Judge Buck as one
OF the purest men in the State, and
should he be nominated we should
give him our hearty support, and
we could support Mr.. Ryan for
similar reasons. We want the
strongest candidate in the Dis
trict nominated, and that cannot be
determined until the assembling OF
of the Third Congressional District
Convention, at Wichita in August.
That convention will be compris-
ed of about one hundred delegates,
representing twenty-seven organic
ed counties, with a vast and rapid
ly accumulating population. Judge
Brown, the present incumbent, is
from the extreme west, and we I'M
derstand will he q candidate for re-
election, but his own section is
not solid for him, and there
are number of able compe-
titors striving for the nomination.
Gen. Harrison Kelley, of our coun-
ty is the strongest man in the dis
trict, and IL he were to enter the
field as a candidate, would probably
develop support enough to secure
the nomination, but he will not con-
sent to have his name paraded be-
fore the public as an aspirant fol-
the position, and it just such ma
terial that Congressman ought to
be selected from. When that con-
vention assemblies let us take the
aoiest and most upright represen-
tat1ve OF the district regardless OF
locality, and then elect him by
10000 majority.
This paper has always sroker
kindly of Gen. Kelley, recognizing
him as . good man; but we have il
upon the best of authority that he /:
not, in any sense, a candidate. The
matter of Judge Bucks candidacy
originated in the Southwest, and
we were especially happy to second
1t, knowing him to be able and
worthy, and available. 1t ia con-
cededly the policy of both parties
to select representative men, who
are net only sound on party princi.
pies, but also able to demonstrate
their principles in an aggressive
campaign. The remarks of the
Patriot are timely and sensible.

The following is for the Congress.

The following is for the Congress
sional proceedings of the 7th:
The House proceeded to consid-
er the bill reported by the Commit
tee on Public Lands, repeating
the section of the revised statutes
making restrictions in the disposal
of lands in the States of Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and
Florida. 1t repeats that section
which confers the disposal of pub
lie lands in those States to prOYis-
ions of the Homestead law. II
provides, however, that the repeal
of such section shall not impair the
right of any homestead settler, and
that lands shall be offered at public
sale rs soon as practicable. The
bill passed-yess, l06; nays, 81.
This Is the bill against which
Judge Brown spoke and doubtless
voted against also.

Change may become more plenty.
A Washington special to the Globe
Democrat says:
Complaints of the scarcity of
change in the west are pouring in
upon members of Congress, who
are appealed to for some relief.
Another effort will probably be
made in the House to pass the bill
for issuing in exchange for legal
tenders S10000,O00 of subsidiary
silver coin. Thus far $7,0O0,OOO of
silver, in lieu of fractional currency
have been issued under the new
law. After the $l0,000,0O0 bill is
passed, the banking and currency
committee will push their bill for
the additional coinage of $20,000.-
900 more. 1t has been agreed on,
and will be reported to the House
this week. This " ould make $751;
100000 silver coin in all, which it is
hoped would make change plenty.

ANOTHER FINANCIAL CREST LOWERED.
Daniel Drew, for many years past one
of the princes of the blood on Wall
street, is reported among the recent fail
ures. His life's work OF struggle with
success and disaster is summed up briefly
in three lines:
Daniel Drew has gone into voluntary
bankruptcy. He Gays his liabilities will
amount to 5000, 600; assets unknown.
When Jim Fisk declared he would
break Vanderbilt yet if the old Commo-
dore lived long enough, it was generally
laughed at as piece OF impudence in the
young man. And yet there are men who
have known Daniel Drew all his life that
few years, or, perhaps, few months
ago would have thought it as impossible
that financial disaster could overtake him
as the great railroad manager. He has
gambled away, in his attempts to over
reach others, enormous fortunes. By his
advice, men who were thought to be
strong have been ruined in an hour, and
by the same means young tyros on Wall
street have realized fabulous gains, per.
haps to be lost on the morrow.
Drew owes his financial misfortunes to
the fact that more expert sharpers than
himself, like Jay Gould and others, saw
into his game and combined against him.
Black Friday showed the world he was
not invincible, and also disclosed the
painful intelligence that he had received
fatal injuries. He has never fully recov'
cred from the effects of that contest, and
never will. He may, like Jacob Barker
and his old fellow gambler, Jacob Little,
appear hereafter as a retail dabster in
stocks, but his honors and decorations as
prince of the blood have been stripped
from him.
