With the favorable prospect of the
railroads pushing their terminuses far
Their west and new ones coming in,
with the continuation of good crops
and the present outlook for a large i'm
migration this fall, the western coun-
ties Of Kansas, will. in our opinion
double their present population within
the next twelve months. Every year
marks gradual increase in the price
of real estate ia southwest Kansas.
hence every dollar invested in this di-
rcciion will realize handsome returns
To the investors. To men of large
means or men of limited capital, you
will find a profitable investment in
western Kansas, and n more favorable
time for investment than the present
will never again be presented. Real
estate in southwest Kansas is now at its
lowest valuation, and rs every year in
dicatcs a brighter prospect for Kansas,
il is only matter of fact that il will
double lis present value within two
years with continued prosperity

reserve and the payment Of interest on
the public debt AMI Of the ordinary cx-
penses Of the Government in silver dol
lars. The probability is that he will
adopt the latter alternative, his example
will necessarily be followed by the banks
and by the people, the grccnbacks them
selves will soon have to be redeemed in
silver, and we shall witness at last the
much-dreadcd supremacy of the silver
standard. -
As to the effect of this probable sus-
pension of gold payments and the SUBJ
stitution of silver, we repeat what We
have often said before. The change
will not be the calamity that many sup
pose 1t will be. 1t will not cause g.
nancial panic nor collapse in business.
On the contrary, judging by the results
Of the suspension of gold payments in
1862, it is much more likely to revive
industry and stimulate speculation.
There will be a rise in the prices of all
Kinds OF property, or, at least, cessa-
ton of the continued fall which for the
last five years has checked new enter
prises, and thus capital will be encour-
aged to begin making those investments
on which labor depends for employ
mcnt.
We await the event with curiosity, but
without the least apprehension.

sound the praises Of friends or relatives,
though some kind hand had strewn
some choice flowers upon the mound.
II is said by those who knew Mrs.
Surratt well, that she was the kindest
of mothers, a most devoted wife, a
woman possessed of more than ordinary
intelligence, and wholly incapable of
performing the part in the conspiracy
which eliminated in the death of Presi-
dent Lincoln, for which her life was sacri-
flee. BE this as II may, IL is not proba-
bic in this day and generations that the
motives and intentions that actuated
her in becoming an accomplice therein,
will ever be discovered.
Eight thousand children deprived Of
the advantages of an education in New
York city for want of school facilities,
is only duplication Of the condition of
things that exist in the enlightened
capital of the nation, where the young
idea when permitted to shoot at all can
occupy but a single halliday of each
daily school session. Yet the authori-
ties are seriously considing the PROPOSE
tion to sell off the large school structures
in the city and substitute smaller ones.
The prospect of general war in
Europe has no particular terrors for the
American people, because besides hav-
ing a consciousness Of perfect safety
behind the guns Of our formidable navy,
they know that our grain fields have got
to be drawn upon to feed European
armies, and our ship-yards brought into
requisition to supply the demand for
neutral vessels.
just as l thought; the sale of the
horses and equipages of the Interior
Department and the Department of
Justice, has been turned to good account
in the purchase by the President of a
magnificent brace of steeds that will
prance in front of the executive coure
with all the grace and pomposity be-
coming to So, 900 turnout.
The Northwestern Rebellion headed
by the half breed Reil, has had as many
origins attributed TO It as did that other
little rebellion that began with throwing
the tea overheard In Boston harbor. The
fact is that Reil is one of those reckless
and restless adventurers who desire
notoriety, and who seizes upon an
assumed imposition upon the Indians in
Manitoba for prctense to make war.
Strange to say, however. the British
Government is already down on its
knees to this unclean fellow, prepared
to submit to any humiliation for the
sake of saving her troops for other
exigencies.

THE APPROACHING SUSPENSION OF

IN gold, as reserve fuGd for the re-
demptioD ofthe legal tender notes, he
will very soon, for al other parposes,
have TO suspend gold payments. The
available gold In his hands last Saturday
amounted TO only sii5,89S, 1922, which
is nearly $1,000, 900 less than Ct was the
saturday before, over S4,O0O,OO0 loss
than four vselsS before, and fully $780,
100000 less than on Jan. ,, nineteen
weeks ago. The decrease thus far this
year has been at the rate OF about 81,
$4,000 a week, which in twelve weeks
would more than exhaust the surplus,

A NEW complication has recently
developed in Republican politics in this
StIte. The lines had been drawn
for a hand-to-hand fight between the
two famous bosses, Col. NJ. Quay and C.
l.. Magec. Magee had been pressing as
his representative Mr.. James A. Nc
Dewitt of Lancaster. McDevitt lived In
Allegheny county until two years ago.
Magee got the nomination for State
Treasurer from that county. The Con-
stitution prohibits the reelection of the
Treasurer, and the unwritten law of the
party is against the nomination of the
candidate twice in succession from the
same county. Magee accordingly ship
ped McDewitt to Lancaster, so as to
make him available this year, and had
set his heart on the little scheme. When
Quay's name was announced, evidences
were at once shown that the Magee
forces would be stampeded unless he
could get stronger candidate than Nc
Dewitt. lie accordingly began casting
about for such a man, and it is now
positively asserted by close friend that
t. he has discovered him in the person
of tie millionaire oil prince, State
Senltor Lewis Emery, Jr. Emery has
ambition, popularity, and means, and,
1t is said, has consented to enter the
fight with determinationto win. Those
who know say that the contest will be
the liveliest ever known to the party,
and no one ventures to predict the re-
suit. One thing Is sure, however; the
Independent diversion to Quay, which
was apparent in every part of tha State,
viii be checked, for Emery has been a
leading man in that faction of the party.

A LONDON tEng.) despatch of tie
18th inst, says: The trial of Cunning
ham and Burton at the Old Bailey was
brought to conclusion to-day. The
court room was crowded with people to
hear the Judges charge and to see the
termination of the case. Among the
'notabilities present were the Lord Mayor
and United States Minister Phelps, both
of whom sat beside Judge Hawkins
while he was delivering the charge to
the jury There were many ladies in
'4he room. The prisoners wore an anxl-
ous look and followed Judge Hawkins
charge with intense interest. The drift
of the charge was clearly against the
: prisoners. The Judge began by explain
ing the nature OF the charge. and ex-
pounded the law on the subject. He
.analyzed the evidence, calling the jury's
attention to the fact that Burton's state
ment was not made under oath and
therefore entitled to very little credence
If there was any truth in the statement
IT was astounding that no witness was
called to support 1t. He said the prison.
ers had been ably defended and that
their trial had been fairly conducted.
The bag and coat found at the Charing
Gross Railway Station had been identified
beyond question as the property OF
-
Burton. Burton's statement, in which
he admitted buying two bags at South
ampton, wSs inconsistent with the state
ment of the defense, which denied that
Burton had been at Southampton at
the time or. had bought the bags. Bur.
tons explanation of how hc had CONT
= into possession of Cunningham's trunk
r was unsatisfactory. 1t was a remark
abl, circumstance that the prisoners had
both informed their respective lane
ladies', the one that friend was coming
, for the trunk and the other that he
expected to have the trunk. The
strength of the case against Cunning
ham was his presence IN the Tower at
the time OF the explosion, coupled with
the discovery of the decorator in his
: trnnk. The jury then retired. They
rcfaaiBed eat rot longer than f3fteon
minutes and returned with a verdict Of
guilty against both prisoners. The
Court at once sentenced both men 20
penal ssryltude for life.

johnny Skae, who died recently,
got his first start through being a
telegraph operator in Virginia City
and unravel!ing the cipher dis
patches. He was at one time
worth $lO,O0o,00o, and spread it
about with unrestrained liberality.
He held the KEY of the situation
when a combination caught Fair
short in Sierra Nevada, licked up
the stock and were making him
sweat blood. Skae was in the pool
and sold out to Fair, almost ruin
ing the pool and giving Fair a
chance to recover. He made sew
eral millions by this operation,
which Fair, with his characteristic
fondness for mcanness, cinched him
out of in a short time under the
guise Of friendship.

Tribune contains the following:
The defendants, Clarence Parker

people Some days ago it was
whispered around that Miss Cliff

aud when the cases were called this
morning the District Attorney
stated that the prosecution was not

as ready as it ever would be. He
then stated that the prosecut

even if she were here he was con-

The Girls: Ground Out Yesterday.
Yesterday was a busy day for
Justice Lang in the Police Court.
When it was known that the Gis
tinguished Empire jurist was to
preside, in the absence Of the reeu-
lar Justice. there was quite i gather
ing The first case called was tie
civil case of S. 2. Davis VS. A. g
Pratt. Pratt demanded a jury trial
aud the case was continued until
Monday at 2 o'clock.
The case Of S. P. Davis vs.. the
State Of Nevada, for $lUO, on an
advertising bill, was called and
sontil ued until Wednesday. Con-
troller Hallock has massed eminent
legal talent about the State safe.
The Attorney General declined to
&C: in the case as he had already
passed upon the validity Of the
bill, and Col. Ellis has been secured
as counsel. The case of John
Sveeny, the belligerent rancher, was
called. lie was charged with as
saulting Mr.. Spergeon. The com
planning witness stated that he was
removing lumber and rubbish from
the rear Of LaPorte's restaurant
when Sweeny came out and as
saulted him with clubs, fists, etc.
LaPorte had given him permission
to remove the lumber. Sweeny APP
peAred as his Own lawyer and made
Al elegant address to the jury. He
said that Spergeon was removing .
counter which was his, aud that
when he expostulated he was
"sassed" by the prosecuting wit
ness. He threw him down but
used no club, and did not punish
him. The jury disagreed, being s
to 2 for acquittal.
During the trials the Empire
Justice presided with uniform SOL
emnitv. and his gravity in admin
istering oatLs, coupled with a
high majester;al demeanor i'm
