FRIDAY, Dec. 81.
EDS. NEWS: What is to prevent EN-
poria from securing the state fair next
season? There is nothing that would be
of more real value to the citizens of
Lyon county than the state fair. 1t
would be one of Emporia's biggest
boOms. 1t is true that il would cost
something TO secure 1t, but the outlay
would pay fifty to hundred fold in
many different ways. 1t would induce
emigration of that class that is most de-
sired, those having wealth, and it would
stimulate the merchants to try and COM
pete with their eastern neighbors.
Mechanics would try to excel in home
products. The agriculturist would be
| greatly benefited by coming into com.
| petition with some of our most practical
| farmers, and the value that we would re.
ceive by the importation of the best i'm.
| proved stock would infuse new blood ol
| the best and would disseminate il
| through the county. A well regulated
| fair is the farmer and stock-raiSer's
school, that teaches him that it pays bet
| ter to raise one good animal than two
poor ones, and that one acre well
| titled is better than three poorly cult
waited. The county could not secure
any enterprise that would return so much
for the outlay as the state fair. BY all
means let US work for it,. :. Rev. Whoo

There were about seventy present and
his large, roomY house illuminated from
cellar to garnet was sufficient to make
them all comfortable. The music fur
nished by the star band was enough to
STIR the souls of all present. At three
O'Clock the guests began to depart,
thanking Mr.. and Mrs. Peet for their
courteous entertainment, hoping to come
again on some future occasion. We
were invited to James Billado's on New
Years day. As We were ushered into
the sitting room, we found several guests
present and we all enjoyed ourselves in
pleasant conversation for an hour, when
suddenly call from the dining room
brought US all to our feet. Seating our
selves around bountiful repast, each
taking advantage of the situation, help
ed ourselves 20 all the good things that
heart could wish, after which
we returned to the sitting room feeling
much better in some respects, and not so
well in others. Mr.. BIllado keeps hotel
in this place and Mrs. Billado seems to
understand the wants of the hungry, es-
pecially on New Years. While con-

the same day asked to be relieved from
the command on the ground that he
would be no longer useful there. This
was the whole of it. So far from re-
moving General SheTidan's appointees
General Hancock had merely removed a
few contumacious Aldermen who had
dehed and set at naught one of Sheridan's
orders.
The subject of the whole matter, says
the New York ECening Post, is that by
the Fowler interview General Hancock
was coupled with an attempted swindle
on the people of Louisiana, as tool, II
nothing worse. of designing men, and
that in the subsequent Inter Ocean inter
view he was not relieved of the imputa-
ton, although certain corrections were
made as to matters of detail. and further
more that no public retraction of either
version of the story has ever been made,
unless General Grants recent nomination
of General Hancock for President of the
Aztec Club is to be taken as aretraction.

Chinese Banditti In California

Some few years ago, says the San
Francisco Call, a few Chinese despera-
does in San Francisco, principally ex
convicts from the State prison at San
Quentin, formed a secret association for
the purpose of plundering and robbing
their own countrymen and women.
They would enter the houses of their
victims and demand sums of money. If
the money was not forthcoming they
would smash the furniture and cut and
hack the inmates with their knives. If
they were informed on, or if the victims
cries brought the police to the scene of
action, those who gave the alarm would
be eventually assassinated. This gang
received the name of the "Highbinders. 7"
The leaders of the society soon extended
its notifications into every village, town
and city in California where ten
Chinese can be found. The
new society is called 1.-THE Tong"
and the old :" Highbinders are
its officers and possess an absolute con-
troll over the lives and the property Of
the deluded members of the society.
The officers levy monthly taxes upon the
members, who. if they refuse to pay, are
quietly assassinated or are sent to States
prison through perjury. "The Tong "
has, besides its officers, tribunal where
all questions between members are set
tied. The DEGREES of this court cannot
be set aside. They are as Interchangeable
as the edicts of the Kings of Persia once
were. "The Tongs" seldom use their
revolvers, for they fear the noise of the
explosion will bring the police upon
them. They trust to their knives and do
wild work with them. As yet, they ex-
ercise their talents upon their country
men; but when they extend their sphere
of operations and attack the whites the
State government will probably exert it
self to suppress them.

Report OF the Bureau of Statistics
on Breadstuffs,

The report of the Bureau of Statistics
upon the exports of breadstuffs for Au
gust, 1881, shows a very decided de-
crease from the amounts exported during
the same month last year; also during
the two months and during the eight
months ended August 81. as compared
with the corresponding periods of last
year. San Francisco andWllamette alone
show an increase during August of this
year as compared with the sane month
Of 1880, and these cities maintain Their
prominence in this respect during
the whole period covered by the report.
The total values of August, 1881, were
sos, 81, 521, against $31, 734, $50 in 1880
For the two months ended August 81,
the exports were valued at SIS, 584. 228,
against $62, 964, 537 in 1880. For the
eight months ended August 81, 1881, the
exports were valued at $157, 565. 2O5,
against $1s5, 321, 222 for the correspond
ing period in 1880. This is a remark
able decrease. and if maintained to the
end of the year will put our income for
breadstuffs SO, 600, 900 behind the re-
cord made last year.
Baltimore exported in August last
549, 949 bushels Of corn, Z, 429. 958 bushels
of wheat and 37.421 barrels of -four,
against 335, 1862 bushels of corn, 443, 297
bushels of wheat and 1855 barrels of
-four IN August, 1880. The value of
Baldmore's exports in August of this
year was s., 192. 226, while last year it
was $7.371, $3.50. The amount of the
falling off is better seen when the figures
for the eight months ended August,
1881, are compared with those for the
like months of 1880. They are $685.
1872. 500 and $35, 5O7, 169, respectively.
New York, Boston and Philadelphia
show a like propOrtionste decline. Reck-
oning the totals for August, 1881, and
1880, they were, respectively, for the
aforementioned city, so, $50 and
$13, j64, 7O1; for the second, 81, 449, 718
and 81 .677, 9O7; for the third, $2,015, 500
and So, 81, sos. The general decline in
the amount of bresdstuffs exported is
probably due simply to the better har-
vests Europe has this year enjoyed.

A Stricken Judge.

Ex-senator and ex Minister Christian
CT is in a most deplorsble condition. He
IS old, poor, broken down and unable to
meet the costs Of the divorce suit that is
found so necessary to his happiness
The Judge made a great mistake when
be married a young wife, who is proving
altogether too smart for him. He has
been unfortunate in his family, and has
lost his hold upon legal practice in his
State, and has no home or means of sup
port The last news from Christiancy is
the robbery of 5000 worth OF iewelry
intrusted to his keeping by an American
lady resident in Peru, and challenge
from De Lugenbeel, of Virginia, a
brother Of Mrs ChriSsisnoy. To the
challenge the Judge returns a reply de
clining to be party to a scheme of as
sassination. As to the jewel robbery, he
offers a reward for their recovery. His
recalcitrant wife, however, rejects the
story of the robbery, and describes the
American lady resident in Peru" as
having held unseemly relations with the
Judge, and as being the wife in pros
pective. if the vorce is secured. There
is a moral to this strange tale.
