DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

NEW YORK, May 17.-R. G. Dun
s. Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Business reports this week are rather
less encouraging in spite of the most
satisfactory crop prospects at the west
and the encouragement thereby given
to all branches of trade. AT Omaha
great improvement in crop prospects
and activity in building are reported
with money plentiful and at lower
rates; at st. Paul no change in the
favorable prospects, but at Kansas City
trade and collections are only fairly
satisfactory; at Milwaukee collections
are not improved; at Detroit trade and
collections are about far with money
easy and with moderate demand; at
Cleveland while trade is little larger
than at this time last year and
money is in active demand the
uncertainties of the iron manufacture
affect the prospects. A decrease of
about 900 tons weekly occurred dur
ing April In the output of charcoal
iron furnaces and the reduction in
eastern prices has not improved the
situation. Southern and western iron
is still crowded upon the market. AT
Cleveland there have beer large sales
of ore at unchanged prices and
dealers are refusing to sell pig
| iron at present prices while works are
pushed to their full capacity
in boiler. ship building and structural
iron, but at Pittsburg iron is % cents
lower though the mills are refusing
orders at old rates. manufactured iron
and merchant steel is in demand but
at low figures.

Corn is also cents lower and oats &.
No change has occurred in coffee
speculation, and oil is a fraction lower.
hogs and three sixteenths in

in that department. The movement

HOW LIS None

Sol Miller, who knows by experience
how legislatures are run, what rascal
Ity, corruption, venality and prostitu-
ton Of privileges and rights are carried
on in them, gives few points in the
following, taken from an editorial in
his paper, the Troy Chief, that may
enable us to understand or form an
idea of the queer things done in the
late legislature. He says:
The foundation of all the difficulty
lies IN the character of the men elected
TO the legislature, and there is no ap-
parent remedy for it. In the first
place, the legislature is entirely too
large 1t is simply an unwieldy rab<

Peashers, Institute.

The annual session of the Lyon
county Normal Institute will convene
in the high school building. Emporia,
Monday, June 19, at 1:3O p. m. and
continue four weeks.
School district officers and the pat
rons of our schools are demanding from
cur teachers better preparations and
greater efficiency, and as our teachers
are generally ready to meet all de-
mands made of them, we may reason
ably expect that nearly every teacher
may be present, at the Institute. A
great number of young folks are ex-
pected 20 enter the profession the COM
ing year, and to them we would say,
that it is absolutely necessary for them
to attend, as the knowledge they would
gain by SO doing is indispensable in
the school room.
The corps of instructors are as able
as could be found in the stats and we
feel safe in guaranteeing to all an in
teresting and instructive session.
Young persons who expect to enter
upon the work of teaching at some
| future time should take advantage OF
every opportunity to fit themselves for
the profession. We would gladly well
come such to the institute and we
would be pleased to see great many
| of our common school graduates in
attendance. Only those who prepare
themselves for the work can hope for
| success.
We would say to all teachers and
would be teachers, come one, come all
come the first day, come every day.
Let US counsel together and thus gain
| strength which will enable us to do
better work in our school the coming
year.
The majority of our teachers have
been very successful in their first at
tempt to grade the common schools.
We believe that better work has been
done on account of the grading, and
we hope the coming year viii prove
that greaterthingS can be accomplished
in that direction. We know that in
unity there is strength and if all of oul
teachers are working in the same
direction we are confident that better
results will be obtained.
Some evening during the Institute
the common school graduates will hold
their commencement eXercies. We
earnestly invite all patrons and district
officers to be present and encourage Oul
yonng people in their efforts to make
this, the first common school com
mencement in Lyon county, a success
The date for holding the common
school commencement has not beer
fixed yet, but will be announced in thu
paper later.
The annual school meeting will be
held on the last Thursday in July

In little item in regard to the w.
R. G. supper at the school house, we
spoke of some bad blood being engen-

very bad condition. The typo added the

transforming it into supper hall" in
stead of upper hall" Thus we see

meaning of a word or sentence, for in

Storm at Salina.

SALINA, Kas., May 17.-This
section of the country has
just been visited by deluge of
rain. 1t has been highly beneficial to
the crops but disastrous to the rail-
roads. The Rock Island and Santa Fe
track at Sand Springs have been wash

east of Marquette three trestles were
displaced. The Mcpherson branch of

The unreasonable and extortionate
demands of the Cherokees for the land
in the strip will be seen from the fol-
lowing excerpt taken from the Globe
Democrat. The writer claims to have
spent a considerable time in the terri
tory and to be entirely familiar with
all the facts touching this Cherokee
question. He says:
The fact that the Cherokee title to
the strip must soon be surrendered on
some terms is beyond any doubt. 1t is
necessary that the land shall be opened
to settlement and a way will be found to
reach that result. The claim of the
Indians is by no means positive and
complete one. At the best it implies
little, if anything, more than a right of
wey for special purposes, and not own
ership in the legal and ordinary sense
of the term. The tract has never been
occupied by these claimants, nor have
they ever exercised real Jurisdiction
| over it. They have merely asserted an
interest in it by virtue of certain treaty
stipulationS which were never intended
] to have the effect of perfect and per-
manent grant. If they choose to fall
back upon this bargain and antagoniZe
| the government in it's effort to deal
amicably and literally with them, they
will soon ascertain that they are attach
| ing too much Importance to their illegal
title. Congress will not be disposed to
let them profit by proceeding clearly
| intended as an eXtortiOn, when in fact
they ought to be well content with the
sum which the government is willing
to give. In declining to part with the
land under voluntary and pleasant
conditions they will simply compel the
government to take arbitrary action
with the certainty that at last theil
claim will somehow be Cancelled in the
interest of white citizens. They have
nothing to gain by Obstinacy or diplo
macy. The matter is very simple one
and they should be able to see that the
wise thing for them to do is to make
terms with the commission as soon as
possible. To act otherwise will only
be to invite trouble and loss.
