While it is true that the season has
opened up with decidedly active move
ment in real estate in and around Emporis
it would be manifestly unjust to allow tho
statement to so abroad that the standard
price Cor suburban tracts is fixed at the
rate of $40 per acre, although our feel
low townsman, T. d. Bragunier. recent
" disposed of small piece at that hand
some figure. TO be strictly accurate
however, it should be stated that por
ton of this consideration was for right
of-way, and that some allowance should
be made for the peculiar circumstance
under which The sale was made 1t APP
pears almost superfluous to add that the
city in the present case was the purchas
er, and that the common council acted
as her agents IN securing tins magnifi
cent bargain. Corporations are always
expected to pay two prices for every
thing they buy, and as the extent Il
which they are mulctpd has always
been regarded as Il SORT Of gauge of theiI
municipal importance, It doubtless
seemed quite proper in the eyes of ouI
city fathers that town of the mctropoli
tan pretensions of Emporia should dc
herself proud, and at least quadruple a
fair price for her annexation. We feel
warranted in saying that our Taxpayers
will feel highly gratiiied ut the munifi,
cent manner in which the city council
has dealt with the water works question
throughout, and if future assessments
prove affective, the citizens of Emporia
should console themselves with the re.
Election that our municipal Indebtedness
entities us to prominent rank among the
leading cities of Kansas.

Literary and Debating Contest
The contest between the Reading liter
airy society and Young Mems debating
club, was held at the Reading school
house Tuesday night. There was a large
audience present, which seemed highly
pleased with the exercises. Two of the
members of the Reading quartette being
absent it devolved upon the quartette of
the club to furnish the music for the
evening. w. Christian on the part of
the society and A. j. Hartman GA the
part of the club, each delivered decla-
nation in manner quite satisfactory TO
the audience.
The orator of the society being absent
no contest was had on orations. L.R.
Wright, however, delivered an Grafton
upon Something Better than Success
which was written in his usual terse,
epigrammalic style, evincing a breadth
of thought and depth of reason much
greater than might be expected from one
of his years. Mr.. Stratton, to supply the
deficiency caused by the absence OF their
orator, delivered short extemporancous
speech upon Liberty The debate
upon the question, Resolved, That the
land grant system has been an injury to
the American citizens" was probably
the mostimportant feature of the meeting,
and was ably discussed on the affirma-
tive by Mr.. Marcy and NJ. W. Stratton,
on the negative by J. NJ McCown and
NJ. l.. Rees. The judges reported ON
defamation and debate two in favor of
the club, and one in favor of the society.
The members of the club extend their
thanks TO Mr.. Feist for the courteous
manner in which they Were entertained,
also to the members of the Reading So
ciety for the supper prepared for us after
the entertainment was over.

We're greatly surprised to see half doz-
en- cows within the enclosure, destroying
the work of ten years time, One beau
tiful pine tree had been broken down
and torn to pieces BY this time many
more the trees may be destroyed We
pronounce this neglect of what might be
Il desirable place in the city, an outrage.
Amid the carelessness and neglect of ten
sisted on growing, and now they
are turned over to an enemy worse
than "borers," the public COWS. 1t
seems strange indeed that such things
should be permitted. Here we are
twenty-three years old, and hardly a
shade tree that can be called such in any
public place in the town. A few years ago
the board of education went to the ex-
pense offilling the school lot on Constitu-
ton street with trees. Afterwards the
fences were left So that the cows destroy
ed them, and now that little excuse of a
park must go. We d0not know, though,
as it will do any good to talk about the
matter. The purpose to overload the
city with public debt and saloons seems
to absorb everything else. Perhaps we
ought to be thankful that the doors of
our public buildings themselves are moi
opened as COW sheds.
