THE BOND QUESTION.
A Que sti0n BetWe cen the Courts AM
the Farmers.

A Que stt0n Between the Courts and
the Farmers.
A meeting was held at the Sherman
school house, in this county, on tine 9tl
inst, to consider the question of compro
missing our county Indebtedness, when the
following proceedings were had:
The following preamble and resolutions
we're offered by W. T. Hindman, and unan
imously adopted:
WHEREAS, The courts have decided that
The bonds of this county issued in aid OF
railroads, are legal and therefore binding,
and must be paid, therefore, We, the people
of Sherman township, would respectfully
say to the courts that We respectfully differ
with them, and in defence Of our position
cite the courts to article II, of the Consti-
tuition Of the State, section :, which says,
"The State shall never he q party in carry
ing on any works of internal Improvement"
therefore, As it is q we'll rettled principle Of
common law and constitutional authority,
that what State is prohibited from doing
BY its constitution, it can't constitutionally
authorize any county to do; therefore, We
most emphatIcally say that all acts of the
Legislature authorizing counties to take
stock in internal improvement are uncons,i-
tntional and the courts to the revere, not
outstanding, and a. there is but one
parallel case to this on the pages of consti-
tutional hist, ~ to our knowledge, therefore
We cite the courts to it and say stop and
think before you farther 20. The
parallel csse We refer to Is article /, section
Z. of the Constitution OF the United States,
which says:
The immigration or importation Of such
persons. as any of the States now existing
shall think proper to admit shall not BE-
prohibited BY Congress prior to the year
1905
This usurpation of constitutional author
ity lead to the late rebellion, and if this
same course OF argument and reasoning be
carried out, the ordinance of recession is
constitutional and therefore sets the govern
ment It n,ught. This very course Of reas-
oning aDnuls our government in every shape
and form therefore,
Resoiued, That Notwithstanding We know
and believe that those bonds are illegal and
unconstitutional, yet We heartily endorse
the action Of the late county convention to
aid our County Board to compromise those
bond-, and We pledge ourselves to stand by
the County Board in all honorable efforts to
those bonds; therefore,
Rescued, That the above resolutions, with
the proceedings of this meeting, be forward
ed to The LEAvENwoRIH TINES BY W.
I. Hindman, for publication.
HENRY BA1E, Chairman.
J. S. LEWIS, Secretary.
L. ). The initiatory step was taken at
the above meeting for a permanent organi-
cation to resist the payment of those bonds
except BY compromise, and that at low
rate. W. 7. II.

The Patriot has read the Lesvenworth
papers for the past eighteen months and
could not help knowing the fact that a
scurrilous sheet for that period assailed
The TINES almost daily without a word Of

OF another. A year and half Of silence
broken by one violation of the rule not to

as above. A generous paper that. This sour
rilous sheet had few personal notices OF

did not publish. TheRdtria evidently does
not think that one good turn deserves an

Recently Mr.. Miner, in the town of Lam

house TO Mr. Morrilis, having with him
his wife and three children, and when near
The Joslyn school house was attacked BY
five large timber wolves. The fierce
beasts sprang at his horses, and when Mr..
Miner struck at the nearest one with his
whip it made leap to get at him, but
struck against the wagon box. At this mo-
ment Miners dog bravely attacked the
wolf, but was at once set upon by the whole
pack, killed and almost entirely devoured.
This gave Mr.. Miner an opportunity to
whip up his horses and make of, which he
did at full gsllop, calling loudly for
help. His cries attracted the attention Of
Mr. Joslyn and family, who came to the
rescue and the wolves were driven off But
for the fortunate interference of the dog
the result might have been much more Sc
rious. An attack of this kind BY wolves ia
almost without precedent in this part of
the State, and it must be that the animals
we're driven to ii by ravenous hunger.

EDITORIAL AssOCIAIION

The suggestion to have special meeting
ofthe Editorial Association at Topeka, dur
