The Growtl, of Kansas.

The present season has been an excsed-

progress Of oar State in msteral dsvel-
opment. TIE year has been unusually
productive. sni plenty crowns industry
on every side. Oar immigration has
been larger than during any previous

advertised through her railroads. 5. sod the

Kansas already contains 400 600 people
No other States in the Union is growing
so fsst. and none has a fairer future. The
old attempts to fasten slavery upon her
thorough violence will tell upon her po-
litical character for all coming time. Not
even Massachusetts is more intense in its

A Kansas Triumph.

At the late meeting of tbe National
Pathological Congress. and the Pehnsyl-
vsnis horticultural Society. At PhiIadel-.
phis. where competition was open to all
the States. the highest prize, q gold me-
dal. was awarded to Kansas, for the best
and finest display of fruits-especially
sppies, pears and grapes. New Jersey
was second best and California, with
her bossted fruits. was far in the back
ground, The kapsss display was the
theme Of general praise. .snd has served
As Q Recommendation which will add
many thousands to our population.
There is no better fruit country thsn
Kansas. and every farmer could have
just such fruit ss was exhibited OF Phila.
d,lphia. That fruit was collected at
some disadvantage; and perhaps. had
the people been thoroughly aware of the
Importance Of the matter, still finer spe-
cimens could have been sent. rs.s G.
The Counties Of Platte. Buchsnsn,
Andrew and Holt. in Missouri. which
have been settled much longer than Kan
sss, are celebrated for their fruit. They
produce very large amount. and ss fine
as can be found in the world. The
Counties of Lesvenworth, Atchison and
Doniphan, in Kansas. lie opposite to
those named in Missouri; the face Of the
country. the timber and the soil. are ex-
sctly the same; and these three Kansas
Counties may. by proper attention. in q
few yesrs produce fiae fruit in as great
quantity as their Missouri neighbors.
Yet, strange to say. this important inte-
rest has been sadly neglected. Many
farmers who have been here from twelve
to fifteen years. and might now have
had ine bearing orchards. have nothing
in the shape of fruit tree or vine On
their premises. There are now q num-
Der Of good nurseries in the State; and
there are few men of taste and energy
in almost every community, who are
taking pride in establishing fine orch
ards and vineyards. These examples.
and the late result at Philadelphia, will
have tendency to stimulate the mass of
farmers to try their hands at fruit-cnl-
turs; and there is no reason why every
one of them Should not be equally as
successful as those who have brought SO
much honor and credit upon their State.

few silly concei,s abont .Jacob's lad

coming "millsnninnl." when the "Iion
and the lamb shnuld lie down together"
He likewise made war on learning and
the Institutions of learning. while he ar
raysd, as best lie conld. the poor against
the rich. Many of the people of upper
East Tennessee were believers in his wild
theories. bnt they were harmless in times
OF peace. The war. however. gave full
play to the passions he had nursed; it
furnished an simple Geld for enforcing the
-leveling ideas he had so persi.tently
Taught. Wise and good men. at the
time. laughed at his apparently hsrmless
dogmas. hut at last we have before us the
hitter fruits Of his persistent nonsense.
Thank heaven. the extent OF his poxious
Influence is circumscribed; it will soon
wholly disappear. and the time is not
distant when tho monntaineers will hear

trines which m ade them what they are.

idea Of Mr.. Clarke's coming among them

to the conclusion that they have been de-

he is demagogue. unworthy their con-

dreaming that a report Of it would be
published, and scattered broadcast over
Kansas. 1t proved poor piece OF ras
cality for Mr.. Clarke. Instead of secur-
ing to himself the popularity in the State
he expected. it has had the effect OF bias
