~ The Wathena Reporter, last week, found
two subjects for copious discharges of brine-both
women. This sudden double draught must have
opened his flood gates at both ends. One of his
causes for weeping, was that the Chief, in speak
ing of . woman, called her lady, and prophesied
that she would not descend to filth, and there
fore would not receive encouragement from the
patrons of night soil carts like the Watheua Re
porter and the late Topeka Blade. Perhaps we
were naughty in so speaking; but that was not
half as bad as defling brothers wife, and break
ing up family. Do you feel anything on your

MRS. NJ. +. CONwAY.-This lady, wife of Mar
tin F. Conway, formerly member Of Congress from
Kansas, is elciting much sympathy in the State
Mr.. Conway is in an insane asylum, and his wife
has been supporting her family upon the salary
of Department clerksbip, which was obtained
and held for her through the influence of Sena-
tors Pomeroy, Sumner, and Wilson, afterwards
Vice-Prcsident. Since the death of Sumner and
Wilson, and the defeat of Pomeroy, she has had
no influential friends, and has lost her position,
leaving her penniless, aud without means OF sup
port. An effort will be made to re-instate her.
There would be no difficulty abont this were it not
that the complement of Kansas is filed with able
bodied bummers who came in upon the tide OF
purity and reform. One of these will perhaps
have to 60 out, if she goes in. Mrs. Conway was
one Of the pioneer women in Kansas; and 1t was
because of Senator Pomeroy's interest in secur-
ing her place, that her poor, insane husband
became jealous Of him, and attempted to shoot
him. Amidst all the vile epithets showefe up
on Pomeroy, no one denied that he had
big heart. But since tho era of "brains" and
Hpurity" set in, there has been no use for heart.
The deserving and needy are displaced, to make
room for bummers. Kansas will not mourn when
the revolution of the wheel brings hearts up
again. HF5

a Complaints are again arising relative to
the extortions of Express companies. 1t il the
same cid story. The American Express Company
was started in opposition to the United States
Company, and for . time gave the public reason
able charges But as soon as public patronage
placed tor firm foundation, il entered tho oombi-
nation to sxtort from its patrons. Weare always
rejoicsd when We hear of N express robbery, for
we know that robbers have been but robbing rob-
bsrs. When an absoonding agent who has gob-
blsd up few thousand dollars is caught and
convicted, it always seems like punshing pub
lie benefactor-one who undertakes to put in
circulation the money 6lohed from the public by
legslixed robbers.

Is IT A JOB lone of the laws of the late Leg
islature, relative to Weights and Measures, re-
quires the County Board of every County in the
State to provide themselves with standard
weights and measures Of every denomination and
description. Every man in tho County who is
in business requiring him to weigh bis goods by
the pound or ton, or to measure by the yard or
foot, or by the bashel, peck, gallon, quart or
pint, must take every measure or weight that he
uses TO the County Clerk, and have them tested
by the standard in his Office, aud sealed by him
if found correct. Any man using weight or
measure without the seal, is subject to q penalty
It will cost every County not less than four hun
dred dollars to procure all the requisite standard
weights and measures; and it will cost every
business man at least 25 cents for each weight
or measure sealed by the County Clerk. Isn't
this huge job for somebody What interest
did some manufacturer of weights and measures
have in the bill and what per centage is he to
pay the State officer through whom the orders
arc madei Go on with reform-cutting down
the wages of working men, and imposing gigan-
tic jobs upon the people.
