RANSFEk OF THE II. r. n
STOCK.

The stock held BY the County Of Leaven-
worth in the Kansas Pasi6c Railway was
voted TO be transferred to the Kansas Gen.
trail Railway to aid in the building of that
road west from Leavenworth. The Kansas
Central has been built for distance of one
hundred miles west and is the only road
ever built BY aid from this city or county
which has been run solely in the interests
Of the county. This road is of more
value to us than any other
road We have. The owners are now ex.
tending il, laying track at the rate Of
nearly . mile day.

IT DIsP0SES OF THURMAN.

This disposes at one and the came time
of the "Ohio idea" in government finances
and of Senator Thurman as Presidential
candidate, and is besides a pointed and
emphatic rebuke of the political methods
of the "Solid South" and the threatening
attitude of the Democratic party in Con-
grefs. The fight in Ohio, as in Iowa, was
made on national issues almost exclusively,
and the result is as significant SIS verdict
upon tho Sc questions as it is concededly de-
cisiye and pronounced.

The Wheat Is Here and the Gold
Must Come.

The movement of gold from England
and France to merica IL sn heavy and in
cesssnt that one of the London news-
papers suggests that an effort be made to
stop it by increasing the premium. 1t is
thought that the former will not act in the
matter until the latter has forced it to by
taking the initiative, thus throwing the bur-
den of the drain on British moneyed in
situations. Increased premiums may check
the expectations of gold temporarily, but
they canpot prevent its final purchase and
shipment, if the present state of affairs
continues. The wheat is here, and it CAN
not be had without gold. A higher gold
market simply means increased prices for
food this winter. The Londoners are al
liberty TO rob Peter to pay Paul in this
matter If they see fit.

the IKON TRADE.

The revival of the iron trade in Elglap
seems to be solely based on the recurrence
of orders from this country. This is a
very frail foundation for English iron
masters to build upon. In the first place,
the sudden demand in this country has
taken producers by surprise; lit continues,
production will soon overtske consumption.
Secondly, unless wages should be largely
advanced and the prices of iron rails go up,
our heavy productive duties will bar out
English competition. We are only buying
English iron because our own markets are

QUINCY. Ill Oct lin the River I'M
proyemeut convention this morning the
committee on resolutions presented a ma
jority and minority report. The latter
was made by Frank Hstton and J. III.
Murphy OF Iowa. The majority report
was by members of the convention from
other States The resolutions ask for an
improvement OF the river upon what is
known as the reservoir plan. The only
difference in the reports Is that the mi.
nority want to contine the appropriation
to the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers,
while the majority recommends that the
tributaries of all these rivers be included.
The m jority report was discussed in the
afternoon, These resolutions set forth that
the improvement of navigations tends to
develop the resources, augment the wealth
and facilitate the commerce OF the whole
country, and demands wise and liberal
treatment at the hands OF Congress; that
the Improvement of the Mississippi and
navigable tributaries are OF paramount I'M
portsnce, because the great bulk
Of the commerce and wealth
ia centered there; that while since the
foundation of the country one hundred
millions have been expended on rivers and
harbors, not one-tenth tina: sum ha, been
spent in the Mississippi Valley; that the ex
traordinary foreign demand for our cereals,
cotton and provisions were increased yearly
and that every avenue for cheaper transit for
them should be encouraged, thus tending
to make Us the most powerful nation in the
world
The resolutions express qualification at
the action of the last Congress IN appoint
ing an engineering commission Tor the sur
yey of the Mississippi river and tribIta-
ries, which bodies OF water are parts OF one
system, united and unbroken. They favor
a reservoir system on the waters OF the up
per river, whereby a surplus of water may
be saved until low water, and then be
utilized.
Congress should prohibit the construction
of private wharves, and the throwing OF
debris, cinders, etc, which may form sand
bars in the Mississippi or its tributaries.
Private SPECTATORS should not be allow
ed to profit by the improvements made BY
the government to the detriment Of the
public, and cities should not be allowed to
use the water power created by the i'm
Of the river for local manufac-
turing and manufacturing purposes.
A permanent commission of three
from each State
on the Mississippi river
and its navigable tributaries should be APP
pointed BY their Governors to promote the
Improvement of said river for commerce, 30
as to best benefit the whole country.
The President Of the Convention shoIld
select an Executive Committee
of nine 10 prepare me
mortal to Congress, setting forth the
views of the convention, to call future con-
ventions, publish statistics and procure
favorable action by Congress. The con-
vention adjourned sine die.

False Statements Exploded.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-At the request Of
ex-Secretary Boutwell,, 3 statement has
been prepared by the Treasury Department
showing the receipts and expenditures
under each administration of the govern
ment since since its formation; also, the
amount lost under each administration by
defalcations- The statement has not been
fully completed, but sufficient has been
done 70 demonstrate the falsity OF the
statements made 30 perristently and for 20
many years BY the Democrats of the
enormous pilferings from the Govern
ment under Republican rule. On the con-
trary, it is shown that under the Republi-
can administrations there hiss been q small
er amount for each thousand dollars of re-
ceipts and disbursements lost than under
the rule Ct any other party. The Demo-
Gratis suffer very badly BY the facts As taken
from the official records. The Buchanan
administration was particularly noted for
its defalcations. The administration Of
General Grant, which has been 90 abused
BY the Democrats, compares to the disad-
vantage of even that Of President WASH
ineton when the calculation Is made upon
thc amount of money handled.
