TOPEKA BUREAU OF CORES
PONDENCE.

F. S. Presbrey, of Greenwood county,
proposes to establish a bureau of news
paper correspondence at Topeka, to
furnish letter, for Kansas papers during
the session of the legislature. He is
well adapted to such work by taste and
experience, having been a reporter on
the Washington Republican at one
time, and on the New York World at
another, and afterwards conducted a
bureau of correspondence from the Ma
tional Capital. The price for letters will
be mere song for each paper, and one
in each county should secure them.
They will be well written. For further

There is no difficulty in making CAPT
tai pay its share of taxation. The way
to do tits to pass constitutional amend
ment, saying that all property not duly
listed for taxation, belongs to the public
treasury if found at any time within one
year, half of it to go the informant. If
the people really want capital to come
up and shoulder its share of taxation,
let them vote out of office any congress
man who fails to vote to submit that
kind of constitutional amendment to
a direct vote of the people. 1t would
bring capital out of its most secret
places, and reduce the taxes of those
who now pay, One-half the first year it
was tried, and nothing short of just such
a constitutional enactment will prove eff
fectual. But are the people ready to do
any thing that is effectual?

The Erie railway has now a third rail

The Erie railway has now third rail
throughout its entire length, and is at
last in running connection, by guage,
with the standard guage roads of the
country. The increase in its business
from this fact will be large. Its broad
guage rolling stock will be used for the
local business, and its standard guage for
its through traffic. No doubt as the old
cars and locomotives wear out they will
be replaced with standard machinery,
and gradually become single guage
road The mistake it made in adopting
the six-foot guage has been an important
factor in its financial troubles from the
beginning.

Providence, Rhode Island, established
q woodward, and the mayor issued aprOc-
lamatiOn asking the citizens to refuse
aims TO tramps, and tell them that by go
ing to the woodward and saving wood,
the city would give them Il good, sub
stantial, warm meal. The result was
that not one tramp in ten ever sawed
wood, and since May last only fifty-seven
in all have paid for their meals on the
sawbuck. But the plan has paid indi-
rectly, for since the yard was started the
city has had to lodge only 1868 tramps
while for the same time last year they
numbered 5,191.
