Since the present site Of the National
Observatory has been condemned, and Con-
gress is looking about for a new location,
we desire 10 call the attention Of our Repre-
sentatives TO the superior advantages offer
ed TO such an institution, by Fort Leaven-
worth. The government owns here large
reservation of beautiful land, situated in
the midst of a fine, fertile, open country,
which is nearly eight hundred teet above
the sea level, is unusually free from fogs,
where the air is dry and healthful, and
where, the records of the signal service
show, there are fewer cloudy days, taking
one year with another, than in any other
section of the country east OF the
Rocky Mountains. The location
is central - being almost in
the exact geographical centre OF the
United States, the cost of maintaining the
institution would be fully twenty-five per
cent. less than in Washington, while it Of
fers the maximum of the two great consid-
erations, health, andclear sky. The Govern
ment owns all the necessary land,
and much Of the work upon the
buildings could be done by mill
tary prisoners, SO thai the actual cost of
fitting up the establishment here would be
comparatively trifing. If Congress desires
to find the best place in the United states
for the location Of the National Observatory
and where it can be established and main-
tanned the most economically, let 1t send
committee to look at the Fort Leavenworth
! reservation.

NEwsPAPER ADVERTusuNG.

Often and often We hear merchant say
that he does not want to advertise In
newspaper, that he proposes to spend his
money in circulars. Such men, as gener-
al thing, do very SIN III business, and the
reason is plain; money invested in that
manner does not pay. We have, during
the past month, sent out through the mails,
about ten thousand circulars, and vat the
same time inserted small advertisement
in every country paper in the state TAX
ing an interest in the subject Of advertising,
we have carefully watched every return,
and find that where ten men assert that
they saw our advertisement in their local
paper, only one or two says he received our
circular. This, We believe, Is the expert
ence of every prominent and successful ad-
vertiser in the country. The shrewd man
of business, the one who places his cash
where it will do the most good,
recognizes the superior claims of the
columns of newspaper, over a circular or
hand bill. Old advertisers like DIR. Rad
way, of New York, men whose names are
household words in every family, never
think OF circulars; on the contrary they con-
tract for certain number of papers, and
you always are confronted with their ad-
vertisement. 1t is the first sight that
greets You in the morning, when
reading your local daily, and the
last at night while perusing
your magazine. Experience has taught us,
and it has impaired the same lesson to all
business men, that newspaper advertising
pays, and We have this to say for the coun-
try press of Kansas, that while it may be
sneered at by many, and ridiculed by some,
that it has the merit of being an excellent
advertising medium. When we have money
to expend for advertising in the future it
will be invested in the columns of our Kan
sas exchange.

ReECHFR on THE Pope.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his sermon
Sunday evening, spoke OF the late Pope as
'that dear and good old man who had just
gone to heaven from the Pontifcial chair.
When Plus IX. died" said Mr.. Beecher,
that instant Gods angels bore him gently
as little child in the arms OF its mother
into the presence OF his Saviour. 1t was
not because he was Pope, but becaus. new

EDITOR TINES:
While tn. matter of bonded Indebtedness
sorely perplexes the minds Of Leavenworth
county Taxpayers. it appears that the same
thing is worrying many taxpayers Out
East. I find in the Ettenv;lle N. ~ Jour.
nal the following article with regard to the
difficulty in that quarter, and the remedy
proposed for meeting it;
An important move is afoot in Albany,
looking to the relief of towns in this state,
which are bonded for railroad purposes
Its leaders are, many Of them, strong men
in both branches Of the Legislature,
and their action attracts wide attention.
Two hundred and seventy-three towns, To-
Gated in forty-uine of the sixty counties Of
the state, and represented by eight-three
members Of the assembly and majority Of
the Senate, are more or less bonded, and
hence directly interested in the matter.
The aggregate amount OF III. Indebtedness
approIimstes twenty-seven millions of dol
lars.
On Wednesday Of last week meeting
vas held in the Assembly chamber, At
which large number Of counties were rep
resented. In the informal discussion that
followed, it seemed to be the unanimous
opinion that il was desirable and feasible to
adopt some plan by which the great num-
Der Of towns which have bonded themselves
in aid of railroads may be relieved Of their
burden.
A plan, ard one that meets with much
is embodied in the Ballard
Bill" drawn BY the Hon. Horatio Ballard,
Of Cortland. who has given the
natter much study. 1t provides that
towns and municipal corporations which
have such bonds remaing upaid, shall issue
10 the state q bond equal to their entire in
iebtedness, payable in thirty years and
,earing an inferestof per cent The state
. to issue to such towns and corporations,
o an equal amonnt with interest at 5 per
,ent.. payable annually, and 8 per cent. of
be principal to Be paid in one year, and the
,alance in equal annual payments thereaf-
er. The bonds given BY the state are to be |
xemps from taxsiioa for state, county,
own or municipal purposes. Two per cent

MR. PLUMR,S LETTER.

The letter of Senator Plumb, of this state,
to the Springfield, Ohio, Republican, pub
lished in our issue of yesterday morning, is
an able, timely and well written paper, and
one that will result in much good not only
to Kansas but to such citizens of the East
ern and Middle states as may be led by it
to find homes and independence in the
West The Senator is not only wide awake
to the interests of Kansas. but shows that
he comprehends and appreciates the magni-
tude of the great question which has now
assumed national mportance-"What shall
we do with our unemployed poor?'

TOPEKA, Kan, February II. Hon. Ste

follows: Judge Dillon has declined to make
a decision in the case known as the pro rate
case of the Kansas Pacific against the Union
Pacific company, in the circuit court Of the
United States Of the District of Nebraska,
and for that reason the Kansas Pacific as
dismissed the action. Thus we are left Just
where we were seven years ago. Cannot the
citizens of Topeka, Leavenworth, Atchison,
Lawrence, Fort Scott and other cities take
steps to immediately call upon Congress for
their rights to through line to the Pacific
ocean, and that the embargo on our freight

try west OF Cheyenne be removed? Act at
