INFORMATION WANTED.-W We would like to
know, from the bright Mason of the Bulletin,
who delights to parade his Masonry before the
public, what the object of Masonry isl Is it
simply to aid and protect him, give him suppo IT,
and shield him from trouble, or is sort of two
sided institution, that requires of him the same
treatment of brothers that he requires at the
hands of brothers He has paraded his Masonry
in the columns of his paper, as q sort of sign of
distress, to demand patronage and support un-
til many Masops have become disgusted with it,
and are not slow to express their disgust. In
private, be has threatened to invoke the laws of
the order against men who have exposed his
peccadilloes, or have refused to uphold him in
his shystering. But it seems that Masonry re-
quires nothing at his hands. Preceding the last
election, he took dislike to certain candidate,
who is as high in Masonry as he is, and in order
to injure him, be denounced him as an infidel
Masons tell Us that IN Infidel cannot belong to
the order; therefore, this man had become a
Mason through fraud and perjury. At this very
time, the Bulletin is deuouncing one of the most
prominent Masons Of Troy, who is far above its
editor in the order, with having violated the
Obligations of q public Office which be holds, and
with misappropriating and squanderng the
funds of the public for the purpose of paying
personal friends.
Since you have seen proper to drag Masonry
out of the Lodge Room, in order to make capt.
tai for yourself, we would like to put you on the
level and try you by the square. When you have
answered the above questions, we have some
more of your nice tricks in view, which would
not be allowable by the usages even of morgan"
Masonry, that We would like to hear from you
on.

DEATH or BEN. WADR.-Ex-Senator B. F.
Wade, Of Ohio, died at his home in Jefferson,
Ashtabula County, of Typhoid fever, on Saturday
morning, aged almost 7s years. Thus has de-
parted another veteran Of the Republican party.
Some men are permitted to die in the full glory
of the success of the principles for which they
battlcd during the best years Of their lives; but
IL was Wade's sad fate to 60 down to the grave
with the fnll knowledge that Republican princi-
pies had besn betrayed and sold out by the man
whom he, more than any one else, contributed
toward placing in position in which be was en-
abled TO betrsy the Republican cause.

RAILROAD BOND TAx.-We have been asked
the status of the Railroad Bond question, and
requested to republish the amount of tax al
ready paid by the people of the County on that
account, and the total amount that would have
to be paid, if the original agreement were car.
ried ont.
The bonds amounted to s4OO, ,OO0 to run thirty
years, Mt per cent. interest. The interest was
$4,000 per annum. In thirty years, the interest
would foot up ssl0,OOO This, added to the $500,
900 principal, would make the total amount ST.
$4,000, or but $4,000 less than million aud
quarter Of dollars. The interest would amount
to more than double the principal.
Interest was paid up to last year. making nine
years, and the total amount paid was s252 600.
No tax for interest on the bonds was levied
last year, and We presume none will be levied
this year. The question remains in statu quo.
Having omitted to levy q tax. the Commission
ers can do nothing more, until some action is
taken by the bondholders.

The WAY We LOOK AT IT, In reply to the
Topeka Com morWeaid, we admit its general pro-
positions-that every Republican has right to
advocate the men for Office that he chooses, and
that Republicans have a right to differ on minor
questions of policy. But that is not the difficult
ty, just now. The Republican party cannot live
on its glorious memories, but the time has come
when it must keep step with the sentiments of
the masses. Nine-tenths Of the people of the
West, of both parties, are in favor of silver and
greenbacks; and majority of the people of the
East are, too, if they would assert their inde-
pendence of the leaders who are in the interest
of the Money Power. The people Of the West
are terribly in earnest on this question. If that
financial plank of the Republican National Plat
form, that the Commonwealth speaks of, were put
forth now, Republican ticket could not carry
a single State on it, The Republican party can
not carry Kansas on q Gold or Resumption Plat
form; and If q candidate of that character is
placed in nomination. he will cost the ticket
thousands Of votes. George T. Anthony has
made good Governor, SO far as we know, aud
We have NO objecti on to any of his public acts.
But 1t is generally understood that his financial
ideas are such as are expressed by the Common
scealtk and the Eastern gold gamblers. The Re-
publicans of Kansas generally want to stick to
the party and the course of the Kansas delega-
tion in Congress has been the salvation of the
party in this State by showing the people,
through its Representatives, that the party in
Kansas is with them on the money question. 1t
is all well enough to refer to an obsolete plat
form of the past, and talk about the right of Re-
publicans to differ; but If the Republican party
Of Kansas does not show, by its acts and its can.
didates, that it is with the people in sentiment,
the people will make things right lively forit.

Bur ONE OPINION.-There seems to be but
one opinion among legitimate printers, relative
to the control and letting Of County printing.
When several new newspapers were on the tapis
in this County, the Bxletis evidently took it for
granted that each would asst in its howl
against the Chief and the Commissioners; but
thus far, it has been the other way. The High
land Sentinel expressed it's opinion in short
but pointed paragraph and now the first num-
Der Of the Wathena Adrance expresses q some
what more lengthy opinion, but one that is plain
to the understanding 1t says:
WRONG IDEA.-The Troy bulletin il giving cur
rency to what its editor must know is false in regard
to County printing The Law expressly declares that
the Commissioners have legal authority to LET the
County printing at less than legal rates. at dollar
per square. And Attorney General Davis has re-
Gently decided that any newspaper taking the print
ing At less than rates prescribed by law may the
County and obtain full rates. That is, if the Com
mssoners let the work out by bids, the paper which
gets it at 25 cents per square, and secure
dollar per square. We have to grind in saying
this We did not come here to make war on any one
who does not see fit to patrOnise u.s. If the Commits
sioners, any of the County officers feel inclined
give work to do at any time, will be satisfied.
but will never print line for less than full legal
rates, One Dollar per square. The Commissioners
are doing their duty, simply that and nothing
II the Law expressly authorized the printing to be let
out to bidders and the Commissioners, in defiance of
law, gave the printing to some particular paper
one dollar per square, they would, plainly, violate
the law and be liable to impeachment. But in this
case the law plainly nstructs them in their duty and
they have followed the law the law directs That
is the way We view the matter from an independent
standpoint The great trouble is and has been here
t0ore, that the law has been set aside too often to
favor men and cliques, hence the corruption which
the BHefin h0wls SO ugubriOusly about. If the law

Veto or the silver Bill.

President Hayes has sent in his first veto
which has proven a disastrous failure and gives
fair idea OF the influences he has in Congress,
and the respect with which his opinious are re-
ceived. On last Thursday, after o'clock in the
afternoon, he sent his veto of the silver bill to
the House, and in twn honrs 1t had been acted
upon and the bill passed over the veto by both
Houses.
The veto message is a re-hash of the argu-
ments Of the Eastern organs of the Gold Ring
sgainst the silver bill: that the bondbolders ex-
pected to get pay in gold, when they purchased
the bonds; that the proposed dollar will be o
debased coin, from TO 10 per cent. less
than gold and that it will be defrauding the
creditors Of the Government This pettifogging
document in the interest of the money specu-
latiDg classes, was overruled by the House, by
vote Of 19G to 73, and by the Senate, by vote
of 46 to 10. 1t received SO more votes in the
Honse than were necessary for its passage, and
more votes in the Senate, making surplus of
Sc votes in favor Of the bill.
Several scenes occurred during the passage of
the bill that were significant, in showing the al
most utter want Of respect for the President in
Congress. Sam. Cox remarked that the message
was charge Of fraud by fraud, which was re-
ceived with applause. McCook, of New York,
asked that the language be taken down, as I'M
parliamentary. Cox repeated the remark, when
the Speaker decided that he had no parliament
ary right to make it, as he had not been recog
nized by the Chair, and the reporters would
make no record of his words. In the Senate,
some Eastern member wanted to postpone the
question until another day, 10 order to give the
veto that consideration which due respect for
the President demanded. But all other business
was put aside, and the veto vetoed upon the
spot. Several members who had voted against
the silver bill, voted to pass it over the veto.
Among these was Hill, of Georgia, who has been
one of the Presidents special pets.
We doubt whether President was ever be-
fore treated with such indignity by Congress,
IS to have a veto message received with insults,
and so little respect shown it as to crush it in
both Houses in the brief space of two hours.
But it is announced that the President will at
onceproceed to carry out the provisions of the
hill. Wonderful condescension!
The repeal of the Resumption act will be the
subject Of the next struggle. 1t has stronger
opposition than the silver bill; but under the
headway that has been acquired on the money
question, aud the obnoxious course of the Pres
ident the Eastern gold advocates, it will not be
surprising if the Resumption act is repealed by
as decisive vote as that which passed the sill
yer bill.

HON. JOHN A. MCKINNEY spent q
few days last week with his friends
in Hawkins county. He was and is
in good spirits and thinks his cleo
ton IS certain. 1t is something
strange how popular the Judge is
with the people or the country.
We hear the most cheering reports
from all parts of the circuit. From
johnson. Carter, Sullivan, and in
fact everywhere in the circuit the
some word reaches US, that the peo-
pie are for Mckinney and that he
will run a long way ahead Of any
Democratic ticket that has ever
gone before the people. The truth
is the Judge has never taken any
offensive part in party politics. He
is not and never has been a partisan
and the party lash cannot drive
those of his friends from him who
have made up their minds to vote
for him. He will get great many
votes in spite OF the
''bloody shirt - In spite of the party
drill, and in spite OF the malice and
hate OF his unjust. cruel enemies.
He is the peoples candidate and
they will take care of him.
