CONFIRMED.

Thursday the Senate confirmed Hon.
Robert c. Schenck, of Ohio, as Minis
ter to Great Britain. We are glad of
this because we believe the appointment
a good one. Mr.. Schenck will be an
American even in England, and will
not engage in any of that disgusting
toadyism which too often characterizes
Americans away from home, and es-
pecially before foreign Courts. He is
q good type of the American States
man, and will creditabiy represent our
Government among the British people
The promptness and unanimity with
which he was confirmed by the Senate,
shows that the appointment is not only
regarded as a good one at Washington,
but that Mr.. Schenck has the entire con-
fidence of those best acquainted with
his superior qualifications for the place.

LETTER FROM BUTLER COUNTY.
ELDoRADo, KANSAS, !
naa OR 1910


Dec. %, 1870.
EDIToRs NEws.-We haven't anything
of Importance to write about, but as we
like to see our name in the papers, we
thought we would hash up a few items
for your paper.
We have been having some fun down
In Butler in these latter days. Baker,
of Augusta, is trying to prove fraud in
Eldorado, and thereby thrown out our
precinct, SO as to take a seat in the Leg
islature this winter. Friend is elected
by 277 majority over Baker. Eldorado
township polled 514 votes for Represen-
tative as follows: Friend, 4S3; Baker
ID; scattering, Is. There were between
forty and fifty illegal votes polIed at
Augusta.
If the vote is purged of illegal bal
lots, Friend is elected by handsome
majority. If the townships of Edo
RADIO and Augusta are both thrown out,
Friend is elected by still greater ma
jority. So we have it. Augusta has
names of men on her poll books, who
were not in the county ON election day.
This can be proven. The only differ
ence in the two townships is that-as
claimed-Eldorado took the names of
her fraudulent voters from a directory,
while Augusta took hers from the CEN
sus returns. There can be no possible
doubt but what Friend will get his seat
in the House.
. Sam Wood is building railroad from
Chicago, via Cottonwood Falls, to the
upper Cross Tmbers," or Texas. We
have spoken fora situation as conductor
on one of the passenger trains.
The Pennsylvania Central Railroad
Company is building an Air Line Rail-
road from st. Louis, via Fort Scott,
Humboldt, Eureka and Eldorado, to
Park City, on the Arkansas River. The
above are the last two railroad propo-
sitions, both of which suit US.
Judge Brown is here hearing the evil
dence in the ''Butler County War"
The more we hear the less we know
about this late affair. We understand
that Ruggles & Plumb, of your city, are
engaged to ferret out the whole affair.
Peace reigns here. There is not likely
to be any more trouble soon.
the Times Office is getting on first
class job office. The paper seems to be
on paying basis.
There are six new two-story business
houses going up on Main street, in our
town. Buildings of all kinds are going
up and the town seems to be on firm
footing.
The Walnut Valley Bank will open
out full-blast on the 1st of January. A
good bank is much needed institution
here and will be well patronized.
Newcomers are swearing awfully at
the weather. They say they came here
with the expectation of finding warm
weather the entire winter. We have
had an unusually cold spell of weather
for this climate.
The Masonic Fraternity gives grand
Ball here on the 9th.

One of the most remarkable exhibl-
tions of back bone that we ever observ-
ed in an editor, occurred few weeks
ago, "down the Neosho." The editor
changed his position two or three times
on the State Senator for his District.
He first came out for certain gentle
man, when he got a summons to visit
Lawrence, where the "sole representa-
tive" was soJourning for a period. He
went home, Changed front" and came
out against the gentleman whom he had
supported the previous week. The very
next issue, to our surprise, he whipped
around" again, and supported the candi-
date he originally came out for. This
gentleman has a relative who holds of
fee from the hands of Sidney. How
he has fixed up his final course on the
State Senator question with Sidney we
have not heard. His course puts us in
mind of the bird called the Ostrich.
He succeeded in covering his head in
the sand, but did not keep from the pub
lie his exposed parts. He is one of those
generous individuals who accuses every
body who differs with him in his SER
vile support of Clarke. of lacking back
bone. He is good hand to write back
bone articles. Go in, old diabetes.

PASSAGE OF THE SAN DOMINGO RES.
OLUTION.

Our dispatches last night inform us
of the passage of the Joint Resolution,
in the Senate of the United States, pro-
viding for commissioners to visit San
Domingo for the purpose of obtaining
such information in regard to that Is
land as may be of interest," with a view
of its annexation to the United States.
The session lasted until six O'Clock yes
terday morning, and the debate was
most bitter. The vote stood 81 to 8.
Thus the President has triumphed over
Sumner and his followers, after a most
desperate struggle, and after q signal
nal defeat at the last session. We pre-
sumo the commission will enter upon
the discharge of its duties at once, and
we shall at no distant day have correct
and reliable information in regard to
the feasibility and economy of annexing
that island.

We learn from the Arkansas Tracele1'
that Capt. Norton has just returned
from trip to the Little Osage's camp,
on Slate creek, where he has been for
some days trading with them. He in
forms us that about thirty of the hunt
ers had just got in from twenty days
hunt, and brought with them over 400
robes. This was an unusually good hunt.
The balance of the hunters, about $50 or
200, are expected to come in in a few
days. They state that they did not see
any wild Indians on the plains, and
think they are below the Cimaron. Big
Hill Joes band killed over 300 buffaloes
on their first days hunt on the Salt
Fork. The Osages will get about 5000
robes on their first hunt, this winter.
Their second hunt will come off early
in January. 1t is calculated, from the
way the hunting has been going on this
winter, that 100000 buffaloes will be
killed by next spring.

KANSAS EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL.

This organ of the State Teachers Asso-

cheerful tone, and many excellent con-
tributions from eminent educators. 1t
contains q summary of statistics from
the advance sheets of the State Superin-
tendents' annual report, which shows a
most gratifying advancement of the ed
ucational interests of the State during
the past year, and contains withal some
important suggestions concerning dis
trict libraries, change of laws and the
enactment of new laws for the benefit

PROFITS OF FRUIT CULTURE-THE
GRAPE.

1t is said that zone swallow does not
make summer" but straws show which
way the wind blows. have thought
for some time that few well authenti-
Gated facts and figures of the profits of
fruit culture, might interest the readers
of the NEWS. IL is true that few iso-
lated cases of large yield or successful
culture, should not be taken as stand
ard, but what is done by one man may
be done by others under similar circum-
stances of soil, exposure, sc.
l have lately received from Mr.. Geo.
Husman, of Missouri, an account of the
yield during the season just closed, of
some vineyards under his care, with
which l am acquainted, having had
charge of them for a time myself, from
which quote the following figures:
IL acres of Norton's Virginia, bear
ing first crop, yielded 10000 pounds.
8 acres of Concord, bearing first
crop, yielded SOILS pounds.
acres Goethe, (Roger's No. u, first
crop, yielded 1886 pounds.
= acre Clinton, 1924 pounds.
u acre Ives, 3,516 pounds.
70 acre Hartford Prolific, yielded 2,615
pounds.
acres mixed varieties, acre first
crop, 1850 pounds.
Total yield of 271a acres, 1O1S bearing
first crop, not including the amount
consumed on the place, taken to exhibit
ton, etc., 137,715 pounds, or about 6, 1000
pounds to the acre.
From six acres were gathered over
g. 600 pounds. OF this, 2 acres were
Concord, yielding something like 81 900
pounds; 3 acres of Norton's, $4,000
pounds; d acre of Ives, 1876 pounds.
Some of the newer varieties promise
to excel the Concord in productiveness
and vigorous healthy growth. From
$50 vines of Goethe, first crop, were
picked 1927 pounds of fruit.
This much and even more, may be
done here in Kansas, as our soil and eli
mate are even more favorable than that
