Overwhelming majority,give
the Boston HOUSE the credit
Of being the largest and best
house in the State, for all

making a specially in broken
lots Of boys and childrcn's
clothing. Such lots are being
offered at greatly reduced
prices, in many cases re-
CARELESS Of their cost, and in
every case less than their

be found a large lot Of over

which we are selling at as

Low Tax Rate and q Fioa.inw Deb,


Low Tax Rate and q Floating Debt
Even the Every Evening that for
the last two yearS has been decsiving
the people by praising the economy
and good management Of tho Demo =
cratic City Council, foresees the anan-
cial storm that must soon burst over
Its boosted Democratic good govern
ment. II now rlsinly tells its few
readers that there will be deficiency
Of $50, 900 to start with at the com
mencemsnt Of 1881. This is exactly
what we have baeu telling the people
all along. We told the Democrats
plainly as We could tell them that they
took s34, 900 Of money in 1879 that was
appropriated to fund the floating debt
and then spent 1t on the current ex.
psnses OF the city. While Council did
this they cut the tax rate down from
s1.20 to $l.l5. We said at the time
that the city con 4 not be kept clear Of
a floating debt at that rate Of tax, but
the Democratic papers retorted by say
ing that the REPUBLICAN and tie Re-
publican party were in favor Of high
taxation and they appealed to the pee
PIE to vote for the Democracy, low
taxes and economy. There was a
floating debt ofs25, 600 atthe end ofthat
year just as the REPUBLICAN predicted
there would be, but it was carefully
cove red up and concealed. The party
b I'D made bid for votes on the soors
Of low taxation, and they had to kesp
up appearances Of economy, ever
though heavy floating debt was ere
a:ed.
Tie farce was repeated last winter
by the Democrats. They found $22,.
900 in the Treasury of the Board OF
Education which they no sooner found
than they laid hands on and aFpropri
ated TO their own use. This gave
them another opportunity fer the sake
of catching votes on low tax rate and
the rate was reduced to $l.l0%len II
should have been raised to 81. IS to have
paid of the debt Of the preceding year
and meet the expenses of the next.
Now at the closing up Of 1880 the
Democratic Council finds floating debt
on hand of $50 600. This is EOS freely
askno lodged by the Every Evening,
one OF the Democratic organs, ard It
nov ungratefullv tgits the party it
iesr9d ol to ruin by asking them what
they ae going to do about it.
We have only to say that the Re-
p1b}icans have nothing to do with the
-es ton OF this last debt. When the
Oemocr.ts came in power in 1875 the
legislature which met the following
winter gave them clean aheet to stat
With. 1t granted Council tie authority
o borrow Gas, 900, sufficient to pay of
very dollar Of floating Indebtedness
The Council started clear with thu
ear, and had no debt TO provide for,
Sat it saw proper to go into the field
md bid for votes on a low tax rate not
uficient to meet the current txpenses,
md by so doing 1t has created q float
ng debt Of $4,000 according to the
of the Every Evening,
1hich when sifted out of the financial
chris which surrounds it will be found
D be not less than 5000. The
very Evening asks what ia to be done c

his equilibrium. Another pull will
cause another move forward. This
may be repeated several times, or

ever, it has the appearance Of the
thorse being in hurry to get away
from the provoking man with the
strap, therefore a steady hand should
manage the reins. ] have never
known q horse under this treatment
to kick or to act mean in other way
than to try to run. When he does
start off the hold on the strap should
be given up. After having gone 25
or more yards the horse should gent.
ly be brought TO q stand and the
strap removed. Then try to start
him without the strap. If he does
not move off at once apply it again.
He will soon tire of being thus an
noyed, and will give you no further
trouble in this way.

FAILURE or rArL CONTRACTOR.

The Anthony Jonrnai complains that the
route from Anthony to Wichita has been
abandoned BY the carrier or contractor lcay.
ing several offices without any mails, and
wants to know what's the trouble with the
Wichita Office. The Journal is informed that
the Wichita Office is all right. The trouble
Is at the Anthony Office which is the head Of
the route. The law and regulations both
provide that where contractor or carrier
fails, rom whatever cause, that the p0Smas-
ter at the head Of the route shall immediate
ly supply the service and report the same to
the proper bureau. The Wichita Office has
never tailed to do this when any delinquency
occurred on any route OF which IL was the
head, Immediately, no matter what the cost,
as the failing contractor, or his b0ndsmen,
are compelled TO foot the bill; and had the
Office at Anthony done its duty new car
Tier would have been supplying the service
within twenty flour hours after the failure.
The failure Of the Anthony aud Wichita con-
tractor has greatly Inconvenience the pub
fishers Of the city and her business men, to
say nothing Of the intermediate Offices that
are supplied by no other route. The Wichi-
Ia office, week since, requested the AnthO-
ny Office, in writing, TO supply the service
mediatciy, and the Journal will please give
us rest.

ness. The snap OF the ast fifteen day,
swept from one side, of the continent
to the other. and the last heard from il 1t was
mid way Of the Atlantic swct ping on east.
The thermometer in Colorado and Rocky
mountains registered from twenty to thirty
nine degrees below zero. In Kansas Ms low
rs from six TO eight below is recorded. In
Missouri ut some points the mercury went
down 20 twenty-four below. In Texas q
snow storm caught the vegetation before
frost had appeared, and gardens, and fields,
and flowers were treated TO a most sudden
shock. Nothing like II was ever experienced,
and from the indications now We should say
that winter has really set-in. Bat what We
set out more particularly to state was the
observation that in Kansas. cold, close win
tiers are invariably followed by good crop
seasons. We do not remember an exception
70 this rule, while such open, dry. warm
winters M last are almost invariably followed
by short crops. and the reason ID plain.
Whatever moisture the soil may have re-
ceiyed during last winter was taken up by
the continued sun shine. We had sufficient
rain last spring and summer 10 have matured
booming crops of everything, had last winter
furnished amy moisture. or even sufficient
cloudy, cold weather, 10 have maintained
the natural moisture Of the ground. Then.
however cold or disagrceable the winter just
ahead Of us may prove, let ns console our
selves with the hope. based on experience.
that . fat harvest will follow next summer.
