THEIR LAST BATCH.

Charges of corruption coming so direct
and numereusly against the new Pop
officials of the state something had to be
done to distract public attention, so the
state house crowd had the announce
ment made last week that the state of
ficers not only, but that Cy Leland the
collector of internal revenue for the
state, had been furnished coal in large
quantities from the state mines at the
penitentiary, for personal use and for
speculative sale, said coal having been
billed to them as cheap slack, and
further fearing an investigation, they,
Governor Humphrey, Bill Higgins and
Cy Leland had been hanging around the
penltentiary for a week or two employ
ing the time in attempts to cover up the
steal. The Pop secretary of state is the
man responsible for the charge which
seemed beyond the belief OF Republicans.

What Has Become OF 1t.

From tho AtchisJn Patriot.
While this talk about an extra session
of the Legislature is being INDUCED, why
don't the people inquire into what be-
came of the $1,000, 006 squandered by
the last legislature. Three million dol
lars !. And yet there isnot community
in the state that has been benefited a
cents worth Here at home the Soldiers
and Sailors Orphans Home. a most
worthy institution, received nothing at
all. Out at Hutchinson stands q huge
pile of rock that was intended to be
built into a state reformatory. Humid
reds Of thousands of dollars ere invested
there, which, if not augmented by the
legislature, or from some other source,
Will be an absolute waste of a quarter of
million of dollars. Another hundred
thousand would probably finish the
building and put it in shape for opera
ton. But none of the 50. 900, 900 found
their way into such useful channels.

a Good Story on Dunsmore.

From the Empora Gazette.
1t Is to tile effect that one night during
the recent visit at Washington he n
tended theate: A newspaper reporter
who knew him informed the manager of
the theater that he was in the audience
and they concocted a dark and hellish
scheme to play practical joke on Mr..
Dunsmore. Ii is said that the manager
came out upon the stage in front of the
curtain holding something that greatly
reSembled a telegram aloft in his hand
and SAID: "Is the Hon. j. NJ Dunsnore,
late speaker of the pop,list house of rep
resentatives of Kansas, in the audience:"
The story goes that Mr.. Dunsmore most
promptly arose and responded 81 am
the Hon. j. III. Dunsmore," whereupon
the manager said: cali right then, let
the show begin and the curtain at cnce
went up. What night had they to start
the show without Burgard, who was in
Washington at the same time?

From what / can learn the
Hazleton company will not at
tempt to reach Freeland with
their road before the weather
opens next spring, and from a
rapid transit view of the mat
ter there is not much consola-
tion in this, either for the Free
land business men or their Gus
toners who reside in the
outside towns. The company,
it seems, proposes to take care
of Hazleton and it's business
interests first. This has been
pretty well demonstrated by
the extension of their tracks to
almost every town on the south
side of that city. On this side
the tracks are laid as far as
Harleigh, and when Milnesville
is reached it is said work will
be suspended until the winter
season is over.

Bureau Of Information,

"The Burlington" has recently estab-
lished in convenient quarter of it's ele-
CANT and commodious passenger station,
Chicago, an Office designed to afford trav-
elers information on the thousand and
one things they need to know, with re-
gard to routes, rates, connections and &C.
commodations. It has been placed in
charge of an experienced man, supplied
with all railway guides, maps and time
tables, and is known as the Bureau OF
Information" 1t is place to which all
travellers may apply for information and
receive full and correct answer. This
is the only Office Of the kind west of the
sesboard cities and it cannot but prove
help and convenience to the travelling
public. All trains of the Burlington"
enter and depart from this station, and
the intelligent and valuable service of
the bureau may be enjoyed by all patrons
of this line.
A special pamphlet will be issued by
the Burlington" in the near future,
giving accurate information as to "How
to get to the Worlds Fair grounds; how
to secure rooms and board at the various
hotels, boarding and lodging houses"
Trurtworthy agents will be at the c.,
B. & Q. depot in Chicago, to impsrt all
information to visitors. Arrangements
will probably be made by which some
trains will be run direct to the Worlds
Fair grounds without change or delay.

their bills; and, third, to place the cur
rency for the people entirely in their
control. Here is where the presidents
course, if persisted in, will land him, but
h ewill be cut short in his work, as was
John Sherma when he proposed to de-
stroy all paper currency but bank notes,
on the pretext Of resumption of specie
payments. There was such a howl raised
throughout the land that he concluded
to stop burning greenbacks, and make
them equal to gold or other currency, by
simply making them legal tender for all
purposes. II the president will review
the past he will find that full legal ten
der currency will take care of itself with
out providing that the government shall
trouble itself to make one kind exchange
able for another.
If the government desires to hoard q
few millions Of gold to be used as bull
lion in case Of war, or for purposes Of
dealing with foreign nations, it is all
very we'll, but if, on account Of our tariff
regulations, or other reasons, the balance
of trade shall be temporarily against
the country, let those engaged in trade
settle these balances in their own way.
It is no more the concern of the federal
government than the raising and selling
of beef, pork and breadstuffs by the
farmers.
Iregret that I cannot see this matter
as does the president, for I regard him
as the first citizen of the nation, and on
all other questions 1 can agree with him
most fully. Presumably, the fault is
mine, yet it is possible, sssociating ex-
clusively with the creditor class, he may
have overlooked somewhat the interests
Of the great debtor class. He need have
no fear Of deprecated currency il he
leaves those who want gold in their
business to get it without his assistance,
as the debts Of the country are payable
in other currency than gold, and the
creditors will be very careful that it is
not deprecated, whatever the president
may or may not do. Full legal tender
currency can only be deprecated or ap-
preciated by change Of Its volume, and
consequent ratio to the aggregate amount
