COUNTY BONDS.

A "Citizen" Of Davis county writing
to the Junction City Union calls upon
the Commissioners of that county t.
levy q tax sufficient to form q sinking
fund with which to purchase their coun
ty bonds whenever they can be bought
at reasonable discount. The same rea.
sons that affect Davis county will apply
to Allen, and the attention of our citi.
Gems is called to this matter.
In most of the counties along the L.,
L. & G. the bonds issued by the various
counties are held at q low rate on &C.
count Of the attempted reputation, and
partially successful efforts in some local.
tiles. This, to a certain extent, affects
the bonds of those counties that have
not repudiated. This holds the bonds
down to low figure. Another reason,
these bonds are given on long time
thirty years ours run-and it is not rea-
sonable that they should be held at high
figures.
In Franklin county, says "Citizen,"
the Commissioners raised by levy large
surplus, and when they heard Of any
bonds of the county for sale that could
purchased at reasonable figures, they
took them in. In this manner they have
gathered in thousands of dollars of their
different county bonds at sixty and
seventy cents on the dollar. He further
says that there is an understanding be-
tween the business men and citizens by
which, if the Commissioners do not
have the money at the time, it is ad-
vsnced until the next levy is made and
collected.
The closing paragraph We give entire,
and it is worth while for our Connie
sioners to figure on it,:
Will our new board. of commissioners
ascertain the market value of the out
standing railroad bonds of Davis coun-
ty, and if there is . respectable profit in
the discount, take some steps toward
awaiting the county of the benefit? l
do not mean to fund at discount-that
is stealing; mean to put on little ex-
ira levy, and thus raise the money and
buy them. If We have q sinking fund
use it in this way; if We haven't provide
for one in the very next levy. If upon
inquiring it is found that dur bonds
stand stiff on the market, at so little dis.
count that there would be no speculation
in making sacrifices to obtain them, our
pride can console Us. But it is barely
possible that the conduct of some half
dozen counties in Kansas concerning
their bonds, has materially affected the
bonds of all the counties, and in after
years it will impress Us As being an in
stance of dreadful stupidity should we
neglect to invest . sinking fund in our
own bonds at sixty or seventy cents on
the dollar. To paw one hundred cents
on the dollar is the keenest sense of
honor. and counties and individuals
should be educated up to it. But this
class of public Indebtedness never cost
any body one hundred cents on the dol.

an account read "blank books and sta.

A Fair Offer TO Mr.. John Young Brown.

Mr. JOHN YoUSG Brown IL said to bc both
surprised and distressed by the discovery
that Congress cannot investigate him. There
is no reason why he should bc either sur
prised or distressed We had already in
formed Mr.. Brown that the House OF Repre-
sentatives lacked the power to inquire into
the behavior OF an ex-member. Indeed, his
own acquaintance with parliamentary usage
ought to have spared him the trouble OF a
Journey from Kentucky to Washington on
useless errand. The Forthwith Congress.
to which Mr.. john YoUNG Brown does not
belong. has no more To do with his acts in
the Forty-fourth than the Forticth Congress,
to which he did not belong had to do with
his conduct in the Thirty-sixth.
II, however, Mr.. BRowN Is honest in his
profcsscd desire 10 explain the damaging
charges brought against him by the Record
OF Congress and the report OF the United
States Treasurer, he need not despair Of an
opportunity. The SUS, which still shines
for JOHN YoUNG Brown, Will cheerfully give
him a chance to set himself right before the
country Let him send us the explana tlon
which he hoped to make TO Congress, and
we shall print it conspicuously, and. we
hope, with pleasure. In this manner his
vindication, If he succeeds in vindicatng
himself will have the benefit Of the same
wide circulation that was given TO the origi-
nal facts.
This offer is made In a spirit Of fairness,
and whatever Mr.. Brown may have to say
will be considered by The SUN with the
same candor and judicial impartiality that
distinguish its treatment of all corners.
