Since our reference TO inc gas quesEl,I

Since our reference TO the gas question
a few DAYS ago. we Learn that 5000 Of the
$4,000 has been paid OF, leaving only
$4,000 ~ the 0utstandius debt! This
amount WILSON be cot down by current
receipts, and by next May, If not sooner
the balance will be wiped out, and current
expenses, including extensions all paid
for. In view Of this prosperous and profit
able status Of the sas works, iteCCursto us
that it.would bs.wha. is known as a "reAt
thing" on the part otlhs retiring Counc'Ii
10 sipnalizs their exit from office by re-
duCipg the price Of gCs to one dollar net
per thousand feet to consumers. This
action on the part Of the expiring Council
would impart a sort Of fragrance to their
careers, and en- each Of their oficial tomb
stoino the gas consumers 81 the city will
vote that Il shall be written, "they rest
from their labors and their works do ioI-
low them. ,st4 v!s"
Seriously speaking, there is no reason
why the present Council should not, be-
fore they go out Of Office, make the re-
duction referred to. They certainly do
not intend 10 make the consumers OF gss
nav the taxes Of tho city. They should
remember that cheap gas is only a matter
Of modern'days, and that the great bulk
ofconsumsrs have borne the whole brunt
Of excessive charges up 10 8 very recent
period. They have paid OF tho debt IN
CURED by the city for the purchase Of
the works, which vas all right and legitl'
mate enough, and in addition they have
paid of oil the expenses incurred IN
extensions, engagements, aud better
ments, amounting in the aggregate 10 a
great deal more than the. original ppr-
chase, and in addition to all these bur-
dens they have furnished the city with
$4,000 Of unpaid gas. Now we
submit that This is quite as
much Of an inequality as one aet
Of taxpayers should be called on o'foot,
and that from this time on their tex for
gas should be reduced 10 tho minimum.
We have 1t from those who know whereof
they speak, that Council can well afford to
reduce the price to one dollurnet, or 81 10
it not paid within The prescribed time,
and still leave a wholesome margin OF
profit for the accumulation ola contingent
fund. The debt referred to Of $4,000
draws only per cent, aud even If it. ran
longer than next May, it wonld be small

process of forcing heavy payments out Of

ABOUT THE GERMANs.-0ne thing that has
got to be decided bore, is the repeated assertion
that it will never do to nominate this or that
man for President, because the Germans will
not support him. 1t has already been settled
that the Germans will not support Grant, Blaine,
OF Sherman. Washburne is about the only man
according to these reports, that can secure the
German vote, and this not because of any special
merit or talent, but because he happened to be
Minister to France during the French and Ger
man war, and showed favors to German resi-
dents who were in Paris during the siege. 1t
seems that whenever pOt-bellied Dutchman
gets on a cargo Of lager beer, he proceeds to dis
pose of the German vote, declaring who it will
and will not go for. Are the prejudiees ofthe Ger
mans the only things to be considered, in nomna-
ting PRESIDENT Better be beaten, than forever
covering under the threats of any class or nation
ality. If a President is to be nominated for the
sole purpose of catching the German vote, why
not let the Germans hold q Convention, aud Sc
lect the candidatei Or send over to Bismarck,
and have him name the man. If Grant is to be
beaten, because the Germans are afraid of the
buggaboo of Imperialism; or Blaine is o be
beaten, because the Germans hate Puritanism
and the temperance ideas Of New England; or
Waskburne is to be elected, because he happened
to be in a position where he could show kind
ness to few Germans, the thing is getting
down to very fine point. We suspect that
those fellows who handy at disposing of
the German vote, are renegades who are not rec
ognized by the Germans, and who could not
themselves get the German vote, if they were
candidates.
A similar nuisance is now appearing in the
shape of clubs of "Scratchers," or other names
adopted by over-nice Republicans in the East,
who can scarcely find any man pure enough to
vote for, but who manage to kill any man u pom
whom they do bestow their favor.

BLAINE AND GRANT.-Mauy of the Grant pa
pers want ticket composed of Grant for Presi-
dent and Blaine for yice-President. They say
such a ticket would be invincible. If those two
names are SO popular, it makes but little differ
ence how they are arranged; We therefore pro-
pose that the ticket be Blaine and Grant. Grant
has had his two terms as President, and his cleo
tion as Vice President would not be objectona-
BILE to anti-third termers. 1t would be no more
humiliating to him to take the second place
under Blaine, than it would be to Blaine to take
it under him. The salary of the office is s., ,OOO
a year. Grant says lie is poor man. This sum
would keep any poor man in the land, in a
handsome style, and enable him to save at least
s. 600 of it each year. He could leave the Office
with 900 clean cash. But he couldn't afford
to scatter many five hundred dollar williams
among hotel walters. Let us have the banner
of Blaine aud Grant!

WHERE is THE OUTRAGEi-The Archson and
Nebraska Railroad has been leased by the Bur
lington and Missouri Road, and the Atcbison
Globe tells of direful things the new manage
ment have inaugurated, that are outrages upon
Doniphan and other Counties that voted bonds
to the A. & N. One Is, that they will not ship
grain to st. Louis, but compel all shippers on
the line to send to Chicago, over the B. & NJ.
We do not know how this is, or whether it costs
any more to ship by the new route than by the
old. We have heard no complaints, as yet, from
this County. 1t seems to us that the only loss
would be to Atchison, by taking this grain bus
iness away from that city and their bridge.
But most of the shippers in this part of the
country have shipped their grain to Chicago
heretofore and as they can still do so, but over
q road under one management, and by more
direct route, instead of going in an opposite di-
rection in order to cross the river, and transfer
ring to another road, we cannot see why there
should be any inconvenience, or additional cost.

~ There are still some people in the United
States who talk of hard times. Yet everybody
who wants work, has it, and food is plenty and
cheap. In foar Of the gratest Empires on the
Globe-Great Britain, Russia, Brazil and Chin
famine prevails. The people of Ireland have
been on the verge of starvation in the interior
of Russia, famine and diphtheria combined are
staying thousands; and in Brazil, famine has ex-
listed in sections for several years past and still
prevails; and in China, the famine has been
terrible. India, which is now, as well as Ire

B- Poor old traitor, Fitz John Porter, has
come to grief. His friends IN Congress have
found him too gone case to attempt to boil
ster up, and have let him drop. His case is
showed aside indefinitely. The truth is, the
Confederate Congress doesn't want to carry him
through the Presidential campaign, with their
other heavy weights, and as a stroke of policy,
have set him aside until after the election.
There is good prospect that the next House
will be Republican, which will finish Fitz John
Porter.

II The Topeka Commonwealth understands
that Maj. Morrill, is being talked of for Congress,
and thinks he is just the man for the place. He
is a good man for the place, but is not being
talked of much. The people are satisfied with
gentleman named Anderson, notwithstanding
Ingalls, abuse of him, and will return him to
Congress for another term. 1t is for Governor
that the people are mentioning Maj Morrill,, and
they will very probably put him there, in place
of the agent of the State Temperance Associa-
tion, who now occupies the place.

e The Topeka Commonwealth has evidently
taken the contract to re-elect John A. Anderson
to Congress, by pitching into him. 1t is med
ding outside of its own District; and the oIjec-
tions it brings against him will help him. An
derson has committed the offense of franking to
his constituents the brief of the Memorialists in
the Ingalls, case. John A. Anderson has more
friends in in the First District than john J. In
gals has; and Ingalls, abuse of Anderson, in his
Atchison "Vindicaton," made tho majority still
larger. Now the Commonwealth seems deter
mined to make the thing unanimous.

I- Washburne appears to be n popular can
didate for President. Those who most de-
C ided against third term for Grant, generally
prefer Washbu rne. Yet Washburne is at the
head and front of the third term movement, and
will omit effort to force Grant upon the coun-
try. Why do the anti-third terners favor
man who is doing all in his power to force a
third term upon them, against their wish Is
he doing it, with the expectation of getting the
Grant vote, if Grant cannot be nomnatedi If
he wants the Office, he should run upon his own
merits, and not depend upon delegates secured
in the name of some other candidate.
