The defalcation of w. G. Edwards has
been the principal topic of conversation for
the past few days. It cannot be said that
he has failed rich. No man has more dill
igently stliyen to pay his debts; but he is
notwithout blame for using public funds
orthat purpose. The loss will fall upon
his bondsmen, some of our most worthy men,
who cannot well afford to stand it. Public
sympathy is generally expressed not only
for them, but the late treasurer also, VIII ose
misOrtunes are attributed to his generous
and accommodating disposition and his rather
loose manner of doing business.

EDITOR HUsBANDMAN: / see by the no
tice of election published in your paper that
the citizens of the Territory. will be called
upon on the Sd of next month to approve or
reject a proposition in which they should
feel a deep interest and be fully aroused to a
sense of it's Importance. This is pre-eminent-
ly the peoples election. The proposition to
be voted on particularly concern the farmer,
stock-raiser and miner, and they should see
to it that a full vote is polled.
If the election was to fill a petty county
office, politicians would be button-holing the
dear people in every dwelling, tickets would
have been distributed before this and the ex-
judging from appearances, the r. r. r.
{ railroad ring) have adopted a better planin
their interest this time. They propose to
exert all their strengthen the towns and To-
calities favorable to their ruinous scheme,
and let the election 60 by default in all other
localities.
The people. should see to it that their
game is blocked. They should not sit idly
by and see a minority rule and ruin the
bright prospects of our Territory. They
should organize in each precinct in the Ter
ritory and say, by their votes, that they do
not propose to give tribute in the sum OF
$2lO,00O per year for Twenty-Five years, and
S3,2lO,000 on the thirtieth year-$9, 800 900,
nearly the full assessed valuation of the Ter
ritory-to arailroad company already munif-
iciently enriched by government aid that
they are, and ever will be, opposed to Civ
ing Territorial aid to any private corpora

illegal that they have learned a lesson
from the many tax-burdened and monopoly

quadrupled.- Let . For tho approval OF

WESTERN lNvEsTMENTs.-Now that
the craze for Western emigration has so
sensibly lessened in New England, and
it begins to be understood that very few
who go there succeed in bettering their
circumstances, it is well also to ascertain
whether. as a rule, Western investments
of our New England capitalists, which
have kept interest at SO high rate,
have paid them better than it would to
have kept their money at home and
loaned it at moderate percentage upon
good security for the development of our
home industries. A representative bus
mess journal says on this subject:
"'The West is the place where the
East has 'salted' nearly all its spare
capital for years, and the Western people
now have the use Of must Of it for moth
ing. How much dividend is the West
paying on the capital of the Michigan
Central? Not dime. 1t is free road
for the granger and the wheat producer,
who put in their pockets what they save
in freights and fares. There is hardly
a town in Massachusetts, which has not
invested thousands. and many towns and
cities have put millions into Western
railroads. of which the people out there
are now getting the benefit, interest free.
The character of the securities lost in
the bank robbery at Northampton show
ed the extent to which the fatness of
the Connecticut meadows has gone to
manure the praries. The Western peo-
pie are not paying interest on much of
its capital"
