THE COMMONWEALTH.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1877.

PhOSFECTUS FOX 1871
One year ago the COMMONWEALTH ISSUED
declaration of its
PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES.
This declaration embodied briefly the expires
sion of determination to stand by the Re
ey'' distinguished from an irredeemablt
paper currency, and of a general conviction
that the first duty of u newspaper is to
TELL THE NEWS,
and OF Kansas newspaper to give Kansas
news the precedence.
Repu 1lican party is, more than ever, neces-
sary for the preservation of
LIBERTY AND LAW
in this country. In regard to the financial
ques. ion this much. if no more. has been de-
cided at the polls, that the people are Oppos-
ed to all wild theories of the infiationists.
The course of the CoMMoNwEALTH, as a
political and news Journal, has been
ABUNDANTLY SUSTAINED.
An enlargement of the daily has been found
necessary, and the circulation of the paper
has steadily increased. In view of these cir
cumstances the COMMONWEALTH has
NO NEW POLICY
to announce but will adhere to the course
marked out in the past.
KANSAS NEWS
will continue to be a speciality, and the three
departments of Estate Items" kansas
Farming" and Kansas Churches" will be

while by free use OF the telegraph and

pires in the State will be laid before our

and judicial. The syllabi of decisions of the
Supreme Court are published in the COMMON
WEALTH by authority. The
LEGISLATIVE REPORTS

heretofore, full and complete. The "Legisla-
mendeG and freely used by the press of the
State last winter, will be a regular feature.
In submitting this brief statement, it is
desired that 1t be distinctly understood that
the COMMONWEALTH sets up no claim to be

Thirty years ago a law student
married Miss Charity, a Wisconsin
lady, and set out for California
where, in the course of years, he
made a fortune of from $4,000 600
to 10000 600. His first stroke of
luck was in the Amador mine /;
the Savage bubble swelled his in
come, and the Crown Point bon
ANA rounded it of. His outside
populations have included deal
sings in real estate, gas, water, oil,
and coal stocks. His home was
one of the loveliest on the coast.
His health was seriously damaged
by the STRATA of business, and he
became so exaetipg and unreason-
able an invalid that there was de-
veloped what the strong-minded
champions OF the gentle section of
humanity call an incompatiblity.
His friends insisted that he had
been psychological" whatever
that may mean. His mind seem
ed TO be completely under the
sway of an elderly clairvoyaut
who was attempting to heal his
bodily ills by means of magnetism
plus spirits, otherwise known as
psychIal manifestations. The
patients wife finally lost her pat
fence and applied for divorce on
the ground of desertion. The
estate was divied, she having 50,
| 100000, and he keeping the rest.
and they lived apart over a year.
They met accidentally three mon
this ago in their daughters room,
and soon after he called upon her.
Their early courtship was renwed
soon they were re-engaged; two
weeks ago there was a grand
wedding, the bride wearing brown
brocade silk, and diamonds not q
few.
