THE Republic.n C,ncu. ~ our

THE Republican Caucus Of our
Legislators was accompanied with the,
most satisfactory results. Its conclus-
ions were accepted with good grace By
the friends Of the candidates who wers
not successful, and were ratified with
enthusiasm upon the assembling Of
both Houses. Now that the Legisla-
tive caucus has been such . signal suo-
cess In the matter Of organization we
hope to see the same plan pursued In
the choice Of State Printer. We be-
lieve our Legislators will find that the
caucus system will do away with much
quarreling and pickering among mem
bers of the Republican party, and pre-
vent many Of the disgraceful scenes
which have occurred heretofore in the
choice of officers.

son, the successful candidate, stated
that he was not a farmer, but that

tons involved, and that the majority
of the House were in favor ofjust legis-

ton would be what was that just legis-
lation, and he should organize the
committees-the one on railroads as
well as others, from the wisest and
best men Of the House. He had PROM
Used no one, and did not intend to
make any promises.

In a new country like Kansas that
which causes much trouble Is to keep
up the credit of county, city, township
and school district organizations The
erection of the court house and Jail;
the improvement of streets, construc-
ton of sidewalks, purchase of fire ap-
paratus; the building Of bridges, I'M
provement of highways and erection
of school houses and the one hundred
other necessary expenses in laying
the foundations of civilization in the
wilderness, make 1t impossible to avoid
at the commencement high taxes and
an Indifferent credit. The older States
have passed through these first stages,
with their burdens and trials. In this
particular locality we have nearly pro-
vided ourselves with "the necessary
luxuries" and will soon be able to talk
about the "high taxes" of new cOun-
tries. These remarks are suggested
from reading a clipping handed to us
by Mr.. Gels, which was taken from a
Johnstown, Pennsylvania, paper. The
clipping states that a meeting of the
Board OF Directors of Johnstown Bor-
ough for the purpose Of examining
proposals which had been sent, i'm pur-
suant to an advertisement i'm which
they offered for sale 5000 worth Of
bonds of that school District, bearing
five per cent. interest, redeemable after
eight years, at the option OF the Direc-
tors. There were seven proposals sent
i'm, as follows:
John Sherrick bid for 5000 at one
per cent. discount.
W. Horace Rose bid for the entire
amount at one per cent. premium.
Samuel ID. YOder bid for $500 mt two
per cent. premium.
James King (trustee) bid for 81 800
at two per cent. premium.
Johnstown Saving Bank bid for the
entire amount ut two and half per
cent. premium.
Ii. +. Speedy (trustee) bid for 81 500
at four per cent. premium.
Sames McMillen bid for the entire
amount at 4.02 per cent. premium.
We expect to see the time when We
shall do as well with the bonds of our
school districts-and it will not be
many wears hence.
