The LATEST EDUCATIONAL ENTER
PRIsE.-Any one who has sixteen months
and $2,5OO to spare, can invest the time
and money to good advantage by becom-
ing one Of $50 passengers to participate
in the Woodruff scientific expedition
"arOund the world" in the fine steamer
Gen. Werder, to start from Boston about
May LIST, and to land at San Francisco
sometime in the fall of 1880, from which
city a special train will bring the party
east, and conclude the sixteen months
tour. The steamer Is a very suitable one,
and the expedition will be managed by
its originator, James o. Woodruff, of Au.
burn, N. Y. A faculty of ten professors,
headed by w. 8. Clark, LID, will give
the passengers lessons in cosmology, eth
nology and kindred branches of educa
tion. 1t will be a grand trip, and we are
sorry we can't spare the time to go. Com
plimentary tickets will, of course, he
scarce on this occasion. A weekly paper
will be published on the ship during the
voyage, TO give a regular account of the
tour and the incidents and discoveries
thereof

A RESOLUTION.

A committee appointed at a meeting
held in Emporia, reported, and the
meeting adopted the following resolu-
ton:
ResOIUed, That we are in favor of a
law by the next legislature abOlishing
the board of county commissioners and
substituting for said board supervi-
sors consisting of one member from
each municipal township.
Ex-lieutenant governor G. V. Eskridge
was chairman of the committee which
reported the resolution. Don't Eskridge
know that county commissioners are
provided for by our state constitution
and that the Legislature has no power to
'abolish" them? = Topeka Common
wealth.
That's a pretty good one on the Spoon
river statesman, with his wonderful leg
islative experience and (so-called) shrewd
ness. 1t is on par with the other reso
luton, of the batch, demanding the re
peal of the law under which the Santa
Fe stock was sold, six months after the
sale had taken place.

THE DEAD LOCK AT WASHING
TON

The action of the house, last Saturday,
on the appropriation bill, makes square
dead lock" between the Democratic and
Republican parties on the important
question of whether or not the govern
ment shall have the right to protect the
ballot box by government bayonets, and
one of the two parties must soon back
down and surrender its position on this
question, for the national government is
very expensive institution, and cannot
be run very long without the usual ap-
preparations. The house voted, by 148
to 122, strict party vote, to pass the APP
preparation as it passed the last congress,
and as President Hayes vetoed it before
he must either follow his own precedent
or surrender the position he has assumed
and which the Republican party in con-
gress and out has generally endorsed. A
few days Will decide what he is going to
do. The bill cannot be passed over his We
to, and if vetoed one of the two parties in
congress must give way or the govern
ment will be in position that will pro-
duce great public uneasiness and uncer-
tainty and business generally will suffer
the more the longer the dead lock is con
tinued. The action of the president will
therefore be awaited with great interest,
and a veto of the bill will be the signal
for a very general and very bitter discus
sion all over the country of the merits OF
the question concerned. Each party
will charge the other with trying to
''starve the government" and the wrangle
in congress will extend to every street
corner and public gathering throughout
the United States. We look for an in
teresting time politically. The Green
hackers, by the way, haye practically
taken the Democratic view of the ques
ton, their vote on the bill being as fol
lows: Affirmative, De La Matyr, Ford
Gillette, Jones, Ladd, Lowe, Murch
Stevenson, Weaver and Yokam. Mega
tive Barlow and Forsyth. President
Hayes has undoubtedly made up his
mind what to do, and discussion may as
well be postponed until he takes action
Then, as we said, negative action on
his part Will be the signal for a general
agitation of the subject, which must end
in one of the two parties surrendering
its position, or else n state of public af
fairs that will be different in some re-
spects from any previous crisis in Our
history.

De facts In de anecdOte seem to unwind
as follows De Hon. StandOff was about
TO retire fur de night. De ole woman
had already sought the downy couch of
sweet repose; de chill'n were dreamin' of
pple-blOssoms an angels, an de cat an
dog had dropped down behind de stove
in blissful harmony. Oar was hot fab
in de stove. De Hon. StandOff fingered
benin to enjoy de refreshment, an he
had just leaned ober to spit under de front
dOahs when suthin' happened. De top
of dat stove riZ up. So did de ole teaket-
tie, hot brick, an more or less fab. De
Hon. StandOH also riZe up an got out
doahs an yelled "murderi'' at de top OF
his voice. 1t was riz-up time aroun'
dat house, an folks say dat family was
de widest looking lot o. niggers cher
seen in Detroit. Now, den, what caused

low water in de biler. White men say
1t was caused by powder in a stick of
wood, an dat de wood didn't belong to
de Hon. Standoff, whe now lies in bed
wild blisters all ober him. Was it DOW
der? Was dat powder in a stick of
wood? Did de bruder incorporate dat
wood from some surrounding naybur. !?
Let de members speak"
Samuel Shin was the first to break the
silence. Rising to his feet, with blush
of philosophy covering his face, he said
"Bekase dar was 'splOshun in de stove
it doan' fOller dat dar was powder in de
wood. Suppose one of de chil'en had
dropped bottle of boss medicine in fab
befo' goin' TO bed. I've knowed dat
very thing to happen In my own house,
an whar's de man who says 1stole wood ~
eff war to be axed for my opinyun
on dis subject" remarked Waydown
Bebee, as he took the floor, 81 should
say dat dar moqght have been powder
in de wood. What of it? If de Hon.
StandoR had mind to, couldn't he put
powder in his own wood? Oars de law
to prevent him. De white folks hain't
de only folks who kin put on style an
plug their stovewood with POWDER
81 fink see how all dis happened, 4" said
Blackberry Williams, as Bebee sat down.
Fur instance. De Hon. Standoff owns
wood. He sees dat woodpile growin'
small-meltin' away like he had six stoves
gOin'' stead of one. He plugs stick wild
powder. He fogets which is de stick.
1t finds its way into his own stove, and
whar am dat stoYe to-day?''
None of the other memIAers seemed
inclined to tackle the subject, and Broth
er GartlaeG said;
"Qe IInn. standoff am hereby acauit-
ted of the charge of takin' firewood be-
longin' to somebody else, but de char
