Norton County Advance from Norton, Kansas • 2

Some of the ring have talked boldlv, under the supposition that so long as no member turned states' evidence were safe. The boast made then was that the investigation would fail. It is difiercnt The men who shared in the ring are anxious -md uneasy, and it is predicted that some of them will leave the country. Attorney-general MacVeagh, and Pcst-mastcr-gencral James arc determined to prosecute the ring, and have evidence enough to procure indictments against numerous parties. The postraaster-gencraf has copies of Dorsey's correspondence with his agent, who procured petitions for star routes, and some original letters and documents throwing light on the methods employed in Arkansas and the south, which have been obtained.

Depositions of some persons who helped to prepare the way for the expedited routes have been procured. Also, many, rumors are afloat about the treasury department relative to the probable outcome of the investigation in the custodian's ofiice. It is stated that one of the officials interested informed the investigating committee that persons higher in authority than he were responsible for all done by him. The expression prevails that several removals will be made. BRUNER, Proprietor.

800. Circulation Guaranteed. Out of every' 100 inhabitants in the vnuea btates 1G live in cities. The coinage of the various mit3 for May was $12,223,550, of which waa silver. Mr.

Tilden has abjured poliiics and the frivolities of Wall street. lie is devoting the powers of his trained in- to the cultivation of Jersey heifers. The Russian political police have arranged to send agents to track the Russian Socialists in alt the principal cites in Europe. Four will go to Lon don, four to Paris, four to Geneva, and two. the capital of each of the other European states.

Gen. Grant has accomplished the object of his visit to Mexico, and the charter of the Mexican Southern rail road has been congressionally confirm ed. This is an occurence of general interest and Importance. It is for the advantage of both' countries that the commercial intercourse between Mexico and the United States should be developed and this can only be done by increasing facilities for intercommunication. The Atchison Champion in commenting on some remarks in regard to that paper has this to say in general People generally criticise a newspaper too, from their own standpoint.

They rarely consider the variety of tastes, opinions, preferences, and interests to which a journal has to cater. One reader is interested only in commercial jews and market quotations another is absorbed in political events and opinions another, wants the local news, and rarely reads anything else mother has become interested in European affairs, and eagerly peruses everything from the old country another wants statistics aud figures another scientific news and discuisions another poetry and stories still an- other imagines that a newspaper should be patterned after the heavy 'reviews, and devote its space to learn-f ed disquisitions on obstruse subjects and still another wonders why religious topics dor not occupy a larger space in the secular press. There are a thousand differing tastes, interests and, as far as possible, catered to. The journalist who understands his business, endeavors to furnish something for all classes of his readers, but his disposition must be measured by the field ho has to work in and tho revenue he has to work with. Among many reasons demanding Mr.

Conkling's defeat is his violent nd vindictive temper, which keeps Jiim at enmity with more than half of the prominent men in the republican Ju6t look over the list. Mr. Conkling for years did not speak with Charles Sumner he parted with Reward he quarreled and broke relations with Fe63endcn he was on ill lerms wth Trumbull; he ws a mortal enemy of Grimes he held no in- lercourse with Schurz he openly quarreled with Elihu Washburne and ceased to speak with his two brothers he broke with Bristow and violently abused Attorney-General Iloar, and aided in forcing him out of Grant's cabinet and keeping him off tho supreme bench. lie quarreled yiciously with Zack Chandler, and for pome reason begged to make it up. These are a few ot the notable enmities that arc scattered along Mr.

Conkling's peaceful pathway in the past. At present he holds no intercourse with John Sherman has open-Jy broken with General Ilawley; is a vindictive enemy of George Hoar; with General Burnside twice; will not speak to Ferry, of Michigan refused to speak to Senator Windom because he voted to confirm Merritt, and treated Senator Jvirkwood the same way. Both these gentlemen have since increased their offence by going into Garfield's cabinet. We mention tha long standing enmity with Mr. Blaine only to remark that in the sorrowful shade of Mr, Conkling's displeasure the secretary of state has abundant and distinguished company.

The effect of this decision of Judge Crozier, if sustained by the Supreme court, will be to leave druggists the right to sell liquor for mechanical, medical aud scientific purposes without taking out any permit. It puts them upon thoir honor to sell for no other purposo and if they do, they arc liable to the penalties of the act for selling liquor for purposes other than those named. We think that this decision jusfifiei the druggists iu the course they have pursued. They desired, and rightly loo, that the law should be, adjudicated by the courts before giviug bonds. Other suits were commenced yesterday in Shawnee county court to test to fill a prescription made by a physician, who has not made the affidavit.

Another is whether a druggist or any other merchant, can sell alcohol to the A. T. S. F. railroad, or other parties, to be used for mechanical 'pur poses.

It is expected that these cases will be decided by ndgo Morton and then that all of the cases in Leavenworth and this city will be consolidated and go to the supreme court and be heard, we suppose, not till the July session although it may be advanced be heard at the June session. It should be borne in mind that if all of these caces be decided in favor of the drng-gists, su ch decision has no effect what-, ever on cases growing out of selling liquor for intoxicating purposes. The law against selling liquor for intoxicating purposes, and against buildings where such sale is permitted, remains untouched. And we wish further to say to those timid, easily scared prohibitionists that one swallow does not make a summer, and that one acquittal is no evidence that the law cannot be enforced. Every man of sense knew that if the prohibition amendment was adopted, that there would be an immense amount of litigation, costs of court, etc.

This, in the nature of the case, was and is inevitable. That litigation has just commenced. It will go on for months of cases will be tried there will be acquittals and convictions, writs cf habeas corpus, and a multitude of motions and counter-motions, et al. That the open sale of liquors in saloons or ether places will eventually be' stopped, we do not doubt, and never have, not only in Topeka, but in Atchison, Leavenworth and Dodge Citv. If the clandestine sale can be stopped we shall be.

glad. Commonwealth. Financial. New York, June 1 The Commercial Bulletin says The money market was so easy today that it as difficult to lend round amounts for four months at three per cent, and a great deal of money was carried over unemployed. The stock market only moderately active, and the tendency was to lower prices, the purchasing temper of small speculators, who live by turns on the market, having been decidedly bearish.

In the afternoon, on a very moderate buying to cover short sales, there was a sharp advance, which shows that prices, go up much easier than they decline. So long as money remains as easy as it is at present, it is not seen how much of a break in the market for stocks can be effected moreover, the leading railroads are fully in keeping with the large business of a year ago, and some are gaining on it. The general business Is of an" enormous volume, as the clearing house returns Bhow, and private accounts agree that it is fairly profitable. All, therefore, that remains as a plausible reason for the decline in prices is the simple fact that many stocks are very high. The Star-Koute Thunderbolt.

Washington, D. June 1. Upon the invitation of Secretary Windom, McGrew, sixth auditor of the treasury, and his deputy, Lilley, tendered their resignations this evening. The action of Secretary Windom was taken, it is said, at the request of the postmaster-general and attorney-general, both of whom represented the removals necessary ta a full and complete investigation of the star-route contracts. This investigation has reached a point now, it is said, where the legal machinery will very soon be put in motion.

Today Col. Wm. A. Cook was commissioned special assistant attorney-general, to take executive charge under the attorney-general of the prosecution. These cases are in the courts now.

The grand jury will be drawn on the 10th of the month, and the criminal term will begin on the 20th inst. It i3 said by those well-informed that the attorney-general' and gentlemen specially charged with the prosecution are en tirely satisfied with" the advance obtained, and have no doubt that conviction will follow. Washington, D. Jnne 3. At the cabinet meeting this afternoon the star-route were considered.

Attorney-general MacVeagh referred to the crowded condition of the courts, and said that he did not think it likelv that any of the cases of the star-routes would be tried before Septem ber next. Attorney-general MacVeagh has been vigorous and untiring in hunting down the star-route ring, and he has more evidence than the public is aware of. He has searched all the records of the department connected with the star-route contracts, and confidential special agents haye been sent to secretly gather testimony on the line of the expedited routes.

The two bad chances which fall wheat is subiect to have happened to the present crop. Namely The hard winter and the dry spring. Spring wheat looks well but it will be late. Three or four kinds of potato-bugs have made their appearance. Breaking prairie and planting sod corn is the order of the day now.

The first school in district No. 86, is progressing nicely under the management of Miss Emma Shaffer, as teacher. The district had a bee last Tuesday broke ten acres of sod for Mrs. Shaffer which was applied on teacher's wage3. All of the bachelors in the district donated one acre of breaking to the district, can other districts say as much of their bachelors and others who are not concerned or sending children to school.

The railroad fever is low at present. No bonds, however, for Noble township. C. MAPLE GROVE COLOITY. June 4th.
