TRADE DoLIARs.-Although one of our reliable
contemporaries attempted to make it appear that
the assertion of the Dispatch a few days since that
our bankers were beginning to refuse to accept the
trade dollar except at 80 cents, was untrue, it is a
fact to-day that very few bankers will take them
at their face value, even from their customers.
Worse than that, the Postoffce now declines to
receive them. Postmaster Anderson Monday
evening sent US the following:

THE NORMAL.

1t will be seen by the council proceed
ings that the city authorities, in pursu-
ance with the request of large public
meeting held some evenings ago, have
appropriated 81 600 to put the boarding
halls in condition for the continuance of
the Normal. AS the citizens present
looked upon the smouldering ruins of
the magnificent Normal structure that
cold and stormy Saturday morning, they
regarded the prospect for the life of the
school as indeed gloomy. 1t seemed as
if all hope, even, were disappearing in
ashes. A hurried consultation with the
head of the institution, who never made
the acquaintance of the word fail, by
few of the tried friends of Kansas and
her educational interests, resulted in a
meeting of teachers and students in one
of our churches, while the building was
still burning. That meeting was memo
riable one. Courage at once took the
place of discouragement,a and the pallid
cheeks flushed with the spirit that says
''never die" It was at once determined
W OSAOO1 III 44ClhOAAob
church, and one of the most cheering
sights we have looked upon for many a
day was to witness the unanimity and
enthusiasm of all concerned for the
school. Amid the singing Of Hold the
Fort" the scholars and members of the
faculty resolved to stand by it, and to
double their efforts to make it, though
robbed of the comforts and conveniences
of the grand building, better than ever.
Such pluck and such perseverance, such
devotion in the midst of the prevailing
darkness was inspiring, and the Normal
lives. 1t is going right along. The city
comes to the rescue and provides tenn
porary buildings. In the effort to rebuild
our people will be found ready to do
their whole duty, and the cheering word
reaches us from all quarters that the
building must and shall be put back.
The work of the school is too well under
stood by the enterprising and cultivated
people of Kansas, and its accomplish
ments in past years too well known to
think for a moment of giving up the
Normal school. We believe that when
the time comes the representative men
of this state will not hesitate to again
put the institution in possession of the
facilities necessary to its efficiency as a
part of our educational system.
The closing exercises of the school for
the fall term are announced elsewhere,
and in due time the advertisements for
the winter term will appear.

RAILROAD RATES

The next legislature will undoubtedly
pass law to regulate the charges of
Kansas railroads for freight and passen-
ger transportation. The people of Kan
sas expect that body to pass such law,
and will hold the members responsible,
as they should do, if it neglects this
plain duty. Several attempts have here
tofore been made to regulate rates, but
the railroads have managed to defeat
them. Such a disposition of this i'm
portant question must not be permitted
next winter. One of the most effectual
arguments used against all former at
tempts to regulate fares and freights
was that the Kansas roads were doing a
small business, and that it was bad poll
cy, in view of the fact that Kansas need
ed more roads, to enact law which
would be considered unfavorable to
them. The managers of the roads have
urged that the capital invested in them
was making no return to the owners.
This may have been true ten years ago,
but such an argument has no force now,
because nearly all the roads have more
business than their rolling stock can do
1t is time the roads were compelled to
do, by law, what they have so far failed
to do, and that is to treat the public
with fairness and on fair business prin-
ciples.
We mentioned, couple of weeks ago
Al, g, Al,
in shipping goods from st. Louis, had
them sent to Americas, a point nine
miles beyond here, and then back to EN-
poria, because it could get them cheaper
than if they were shipped directly tc
Emporia. This we suppose to be the
result of a combination or "pool' be
tween the two roads to this point This
notwithstanding the fact that this county
gave 100000 to these two roads, anG
the people are to-day paying the deb
honestly and squarely. Now this is one
species of dishonesty melted out to the
people by the railroads that should b,
knocked squarely on the head by thu
next legislature. The Lawrence Journa
of Tuesday last is informed by one o
the heaviest handlers of stock in tina
city, that he has driven several droves o.
cattle from there to Kansas City during
the present season, and was about t.
drive drove Of 500 fat hogs to the Kan
sas City market. He could make money
by SO doing, and yet two railroad line
pass through Lawrence directly to Kan
sas City. Such, we are satlfied, is tn,
condition of things generally over tn,
state, if the facts could be brought out
This subject needs the closest and mos
careful attention at the hands of the legis
lature. If that body should do nothing
more, after transacting the necessary
business of the session, than pass good
fair law for the regulation of railroad
fares and freights, it will have done
duty for which it will deserve and re
ceive the thanks of all the people o
Kansas.

From Emporia DAILY NEWS of Nov. 21st
THE EMPORIA DAILY NEWS.
Citizens of Emporia, we greet you to-
day with the Emporia DAILY NEWS.
We have this year been urged by a
number of our citizens to begin again the
publication of daily paper in Emporia,
on the ground that the city is now large
enough to sustain one, and that the
NEWS Office, as the Oldest here, and rep
resenting the bulk of the political senti-
ment and business interests of this COM
munity, is naturally expected to pub
lish daily as soon as there is field for
its support. 1t is known to our people
that THE NEWS establishment has al
ways kept little in advance of the news
paper demands of this city, and that it
has not spared labor or expense to main
tain the lead that, as the original news
paper enterprise of this part of the state,
Il naturally holds. The DAILY NEWS,
therefore, seems a matter of course,
and we trust its advent will be greeted
with the approval and patronage of all
our citizens. Our arrangements were
made some months ago, but the publica-
ton has been delayed for various rea-
sons not necessary to state. They are
now sufficiently advanced TO warrant us
in starting on the moderate scale that
we do to-day.
While the size of our sheet is small, a
large portion of its space will be devoted
to reading matter, and by careful sys-
tenn Of culling and condensing our space
we can present full synopsis every day
ofimportant general and local news. We
will enlarge as our patronage warrants,
and every cent received for subscription
or advertising will be expended in max
ing the paper better and credit to our
city and locality. Our people do not
expect, at first, papePequal to that pub
lished in cities of from five to ten thou
sand population, and they know us well
enough to know that they will have just
as good DAILY NEWS as the support
extended to 1t we'll warrant.
While the full tariff for daily tele-
grams is too heavy for us to now judi
ciously incur, we have made arrange
ments to secure full synopsis, includ-
ing market reports, and for special dis
patches when events of real importance
occur. A little time will enable US to
make this feature entirely satisfactory.
We ask the public patronage and en-
couragement and can only say that il
our citizens want live and permanent
daily, we will do all we can to make the
DAILY NEWS all they desire.

The New York World is anxious
about the position of its party in the 46th
congress. 1t will be dictated by the
south. "Of IA Democratic members,
more or less, elected to the next house,
ninety-seven will represent the sixteen
states usually associated together under
one common designation as the south,
while of the remaining forty-seven men,
bers only twenty-six viii represent the
western states and twenty-one the east

seven representatives of the "solid" don't
succeed IN sinking the Democratic ship

do not recall single mistake that he has
made since entering the senate; and we
know that he is regarded by his fellow
senators as an unusually competent,

There is evidence that Mr.. Lin
derman, director of the mint, and other
prominent administration officials are
dissatisfied with the action of the last
congress in remonetizing silver, and pro
pose to have the law repealed. We
trust if a move is made in this direction,
that Linderman, and those engaged in
this attempt, will be effectively squelch-
ed. Just let that matter alone. The
people seem to be well enough satisfied
with the law as it is now, and any at.
tempt to tamper with it will only dis
turb the business interests of the coun-
try, and excite the people. There is no
necessity whatever to bring that ques-
ton before the country again.
