ion to the national bank monopoly; that
the volume of the curren cy should be
enlarged, and there should be a tariff

canvass declared for the redemption of
the national bonds in greenbacks.

The Representative Question,
As the election approaches it seems
highly proper, that we consider well the
claims of the respective candidates for
our support.
In the first place, we assume that Mr
Wimmer is a Ilailroad-man, that ho is
identified with their interests and in an
issue between them and tho people,
would be found on tho side of Railroad
monopolies.
Now, then, under the new Constitu
tion, there is to bo a bill proposed at
the next session of the Legislature, to
give force and effect to that clauso of
the instrument equalizing tho tariff of
rates upon passengers and freights on
all Railroads throughout the state. In
other words, to compel tho R. R. Go's
uuder tho new Constitution to adopt a
uniform schedule of rates according to
the distanco that freight and passengers
are transported.
Those who are familiar with shipping
and receiving freights know full well,
that they now have two or three times
as much for transportation at interme
diate stations as is paid at tho termina
tion of routes, or double what we would
be required to pay if the proper change
was made. There is no one who can
gainsay the inportaocc of this matter to
the public.
Our Lumbermen need cheap freights
as much as they do cheap money, to rea
lizo a margin on their operations. Our
coal fields to be opened, want chcip
transportation to market which when
guaranteed, will place them on an
equal footing with other localities, that
heretofore have had the advantage of
competing lines and cheap freights.
Manufactures also might be fostered, en
couraged and sustained with a fair
equalization of rates.
This, then is a question in which all
have a direct interest, and it becomes
every voter before casting his ballot to
divest himself of all prejudices and par
tisan feeling and support that candidate
for the position named, which will best
subserve the true interest of the whole
county.
Tub Piikmiim Engraving issued by
"Peterson's Magazine," for 1S75, is really
one of the most beautiful and costly wc
have ever seen. It is not one of those
cheap, colored lithographs, with which the
market is Hooded, but a first class line
nnd mezzotint engraving, executed in the
highest style of art, after on orignnl picture
by J. W. Ehtiinger, and cost, us ilia pub
lisher assures us, two thousand dollars in
all. No premium of e U il value, he as
serts, will be offered by any magazine ."or
1875. The subject is "Washington's
Fiust IxTitnviEiT Vina Ills Win:." The
story is quite romantic. Washington, on
his way to join Gen. Braddock, iu the great
French and Indian war of 175"), stopped
with his orderly, nt the White House, since
so celebrated iu the Virginia campaigns of
McCicllan, Lee nnd Grant. Here ho met a
young nnd beautiful widow, with whom he
was so fascinated, that the orderly, instead
of being Fuintnoiied within half an hour, ns
he had expected, led Washington's- horse
up nnd clown, nearly nil day, while his en
amored master was listening to the giy sal
lies of the charming Mrs. Custis. The re
suit is a matter of history. Mrs. Custis be
came the wife of the great liero, and was
known, in nfter years, as Lady Washington.
This is a picture that ouht to be in every
household. You can get it, gratis, by rais
ing a club for "Peterson" for 1875, or by
remitting 52,50 for it and for the ningazino.
This is a rare chance.
County Tr EAtuit eks. An impor
tant act in relation to county treasurers
has becomo a law in Kansas. Every
treasurer is required to make on the
first Monday iu January, April, July
and October in each year a statement
showing the amount of rnouey iu the
treasury and the different funds to
which it belongs. The statement must
be sworn to, and any treasurer who shall
swear falsely will be deemed guilty of
perjury, and on conviction shall be con
fined in the penitentiary for one yeari
and his office declared vacant. It is
made the duty ol the Probate Judge,
assisted by two taxpayers, to examine
the County Treasurer's accounts or.ee a
quarter, without notice to the Treasurer.
Any deficiency discovered must at once
be reported in writing.
A recent coiuege at the l'aris mint
of 82,000 worth of centimes has been
felt as such a relief to purchasers that
a further and larger issue has been or
dered. A centime is rather less than
tho tenth part of a French two-sous
piece, an English penny, or an Ameri
can two-cent coin. There are things
sold in France at rate which render
useful coins smaller than a sous, the
value of which is five centimes. With
us the cent is the smallest coin; but
there formerly was a half-cent, equiva
lent to tho English farthing, or two an J
a half French centimes, and, consider
ing how many thiugs are aold at "twelve
and a half cents," for which extra pay
ment cannot be made at present, and,
also, because nine cases out of ten, the
vendor takes thirteen instead of twelve
and a haif cents, to the injury of the
purchaser, it might be as well, per
haps, to return to the old practice of
issuing half cents from tho Mint. For-
net' J'ress.
