Kansas Churches and Schools.


The New York Times says: "The
town of Salina, Kas., with less than g.
500 lnhbitants, has seven churches"
There is nothing unusual in this, so
far as our Kansas towns are concerned
Salina is one of the most prosperous and
enterprlsing cities in the State, and yet
we have no doubt that half a dozen
towns in Kansas could be mentioned,
with not TO exceed 200 or 500 inhab,
Itants, that have each from five to seven
churches. AS n rule, the towns OF Kan
sas, large and small, have as many
church buildings, and as handsome and
substantial church buildings, as towns OF
equal size in any portion of New York
or New England.
But the culture and sentiment of Kan,
sas are peculiarly illustrated in her nu.
merous, commodious and elegant school,
buildings. Kansas fairly equals the best
communities of the Eastern States in the
character of her churches, but she ex-
cells them all in the character of her
public schools. These are the pride and
glory of tho State. The best buildings
in every town in Kansas, large or small,
is invariably the public school. The in
vested school fund of Kansas already ex-
ceeds two million dollars, land it will reach
over five million in a few years. The
public schools of Kansas will be almost
self-supporting within the next decade.
Kansas believes in education, and her
provisions for school purposes have been
more than liberal-they are profusely
generous.-Atchison Champion.

The opinion of the naval court of in
quiry in regard to the Huron disaster
has been promulgated by the Secretary
of the Navy. The conclusions are tha,
the commander of the Huron is primari
ly responsible for the loss of that vessel
and that Lieutenant Palmer, the navi
eating officer, made errors in navigation
also, that the deck officers on the night
of her loss, might have been at fault in
not ascertaining the accuracy of the per.
peudiculsr soundings reported to them
from time to time. The ship is report
ed to have been in every respect staunch
and seaworthy, and she was in that con-
ditien up to the time she struck.

We CLEAN from the dispatches the fol
lowing which may not be very reliable :
1t is stated to night, by prominent
democratic senator, that the reassem.
bling Of congress will find every member
of his party IN thorough accord, with a
determination to support all nominations
of the president unless it can be plainly
shown that the appointment would be
prejudicial to the public service. He
said that those senators who had assisted
Conkling in his former contest with the
administration, were now fully aware
that they had made grave mistake I;
that there was now full and complete
understanding between the democratic
senator's not to sustain ConklIng nor
any other republican leader, in any man
ner or shape against the president AL
fusion was also made to the prepare
ton of a resolution by Cockrell, which
would be in the shape of an amendment
TO the constitution, prohibiting payment,
in any shape, of rebel pensions, or war
claims and losses, with a special prohib-
ltion of secession. This, it was stated,
would set these vexed questions at rest
forever.
