Kansas Fail whea.

A writer in the agricultural de.
partment of the New York Times
upon Kansas wheat says that the
dryness of our summers produces
grain which yields a -four which
will bear shipping to tropical coun-
tries without injury. The same
writer adds:
"Recently it has been disco vered
that this wheat makes an excellent
quality of flour by the "new pro-
cess" hitherto ouly spring wheat
having been found available for
this purpose, and that grown in
Minnesota proving the best. Kan
sas fall wheat, however, makes a
'new process" flour of the best
quality-quite equal to the Mime
sofa flour. Samples which we have
seen and tested, and the reports of
dealers In the eastern market salts
factorily prove this. This gives q
higher value TO the product of the
rich fields of Kansas and will
doubtless aid in establishing an i'm
portant and profitable manufacture
OF flour in that State. A large mill
has been erected at Hutchinson, in
Reno county, in the Arkansas val
ley, near the center of the State,
and Is now making 120 barrels of
'tnew process" -four daily. The
supply of wheat is larger than the
present capacity of the mill, and
arrangements are being made to
double this without DELAY,
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1877-12-28

A correspondent writes to the st.
Louis Republican inquiring whether
the silver dollar of 4121S grains is legal
tender to any amount, or whether it
requires legal enactment to make it so,
and the Republican replies as follows
Silver dollars of 4121k grains are
legal tender to any amount; and it
does not require legal enactments to
make them such. There is no act OF
congress in existence deprivIng silver
dollars of the legal-tender quality. The
act of 1873, called the demonetizing
act, did not strictly demonetiZe silver,
or take away the legal-tender quality
from silver dollars then and now in ex-
istence it merely took away from the
mints the authority to coin such dol
lars, and as there are very few of them
TO be had, the effect of the act is 10
practically demonetize silver, since the
minor coin, that is, those under one
dollar, are legal-tender only for debts
OF % and under. The pending silver
bill In congress does specifically enact
that silver dollars of 4l2x grains
weight shall be legal-tender in pay
ment of all debts; but this feature is
/ not absolutely necessary, for if such
dollars be coined they will be legal
tender without &c.
The point Is to re-establish free coin
age of the silver dollar, Of 412K grains,
and whatever amendment to the bill
renders it inefficient on that point
virtually kills It. The tree and unlim-
tied coinage of the legal-tendsr silver
dollars of 4124 grains each, is the
point, exactly.

How TO MAKE Our COMMON SCHOOLS

How TO MAKE OUR COMMON SCHOOLS
PRAcTIcAL--Coures of study careful
ly prepared and fitted to the different
grades OF school, would utilize much
labor now misspent. This course
should embrace at least, eight years,
from the sixth to the fifteenth. II
should include the fundamental
branches, reading, writing, English
language, arithmetic, geography and
United States history, with the rudi-
ments of plain drawing, arithmetical
geometry, physiology, philosophy,
chemistry, botany, and natural history.
Without this knowledge men cannot
thoroughly and successfully pursue the
business avocations of life, as farming.
carpentry, or manufacturing. Time
can be saved for these additional
branches by securing for their atten-
ton what time is now wasted in many
schools upon the details of geography,
technical grammar, and the impractical
portions of arithmetic. Training
schools should be maintained, insti-
tutes established, associations and
meetings held for the Instrumentation of
practical knowledge.
Hon, J. D. PHILRRICK.

A closer look at the sort of force
the various officers of the House
has called into existence makes US
thank God that Sammy Tilden did
not secure the Presidency. Had
that sort of thing been spread over
the entire country L believe the
wheels OF government would cease
to turn for lack of capacity. Mr..
Foster of Ohio publicly designated
the officials of the late House as re-
spectacle bummers. Why he put
in the word respectable" bOthers
me, unless it was ironicle. One is
first struck with the fact that the
Democracy has control in passing
from the Senate end to that of the
House by the dirt OH all sides. The

You may consider this little too

look for yourself Bot am not SO
uncommouonly nice as to row about
this sort of neglect: but the worst
feature remains untold. There is
not one officer, either clerk, door
Keeper, or seFgent-at-srms, who is
able to End in the Democracy men
of sufficient education to act in po-
sitioD where such education Is re-
quired. There is the clerk, for ex.
ample. In the opening of the late
Congress he turned out the librari-
an of the House because such libra
rian was q Republican. He hired
an eX-Congressman from Kentucky,
who failed, and then he run through
q lively lot of experiments until the
House lost patience at being de-
prived of the use of the library,
and by resolution forced him to re-
store the negro messenger, who is
there to-day acting as librarian

BY majority of one in house
less than One-qaarter full, south
ern war claim has been approved,
which looks somewhat like an en-
tering wedge. Our Washington
dispatches show that it is claim
for insurance money and dividends
collected on property seized by the
Union troops in New Orleans. The
property was restored to the own
at the close of the war, but the
money collected had been paid into
the treasury, and could only be
paid back by order of congress.
That order has now been secured,
SO far as the vote of the lower
branch of Congress can give 1t. If
this bill is but the frat of 8 series,
the fact that it appears to have been
passed by party vote, will give
rise to some interesting epecuIa-
ton as what might happen, if the
senate, too, should have a demo-
cratic majority one of these days
