sip has it that the advent Of Judge Folgcr
will soon bo followed by IL general cleaning
out of the dsreputnbic ring that has i.st-
encd aud iatIencd on that department for the
last fow years. 1t is said that q number Of
high subo,dnatcs will lose their heads or bo
transferred to other fields Of usefulness
These rumois cause some disquietude among
the officers whose names have Lccn associated
with the alleged Treasury ring. They arc
beginning to got their political influence to .
gether to resist tho expected inquiry and its
legitimate results. They proved too strcne
for Secretary Window and expect to beat any
reform which mny be inauguratcd by Sccre
tary Folgcr.-2rom the PHiiadeiphia Tires.

rumored tho samo syndicate arc about to

L,beral and Enterprisinr.

We haye always maintained that when
home capital took an interest in build
ing up a town it was bound to succeed.
There is nothing that will convince
strangers of the solid prosperity of a
town like faith by works on the part Of
its citizens. To this display of faith on
the part of EmpGria's moneyed and bust
ness men are we indebted for great
degree of the growth of this city in the
past two years. Besides the money they
have spent for private enterprises, there
has been raised here, by subscriptions TO
capital stock and as donations, 100000,
in little over u year, TO be put
into public enterprises. We call
that pretty solid work, and
work that will count to the future good
of the city. The buildings are not all
up yet, but the money has been raised in
the time named. There is pleanty of
capital here, also, that will be invested
in any manufacturing enterprise that
offers to benefit the town, and give fair
returns. We are glad to know that COM
mittees OF the board of trade organized
last winter are working industriously in
this line with fair prospects of early sue
cess. Emporia has becomethc moneyed
center and the stock center of South
ern Kansas, and all that is
lacking now is a judicious system of
manufactures TO make this continue TO
be, rs it always has been, one of the lead
ing towns of Kansas. We have money,
we have energy and enterprise, and we
have the pluck, and if other things don't
follow, we are simply mistaken in oar
judgment

"Last Saturday, John bennington of

into q boat for little swim in the Neo-

his boat to the opposite shore from which
his clothes were lying; and being un-
able to paddle his own canoe" against
a ten-milc-per-hou current, and his
clothes being unable to swim TO him, he
was compelled to dress himself in fig
leaves, as Adam did, and await the ar
rival of some good Samaritan. After
several hours of untold agony, he was
finally discovered and introduced to his
wardrobe on the other side of the Neo
sho.n
Now the facts in the case are these
