BIG CORN.


EDITOR OF NEws;-A few days
ago 1 saw an item in the Atchison
Champion to the effect that a gen.
tleman travelling in the Republican
and Solomon valleys saw corn one
foot in height. The date of the
paper was the 22nd of June. AT the
close the writer rather vauntingly
asks the question "How is that for
corn?" / take the trouble to say
that that is small. A farmer who
lives only one half mile from this
town brought into the office a few
moments ago a stalk that measures
six feet and six inches in height
saying as he did so that he had
more at home.
tell you that the fact is tho
farmers here, from the reports com
ing in from all quarters and the
hattering appearance of the crop:
of all kinds, are becoming the
proudest people 1 ever saw.
No arguments are needed tc
make people believe in the prodUc
tiveness ofthe soil here, and claim:
are going ''liko hotcakes." Those
who want homesteads had better
be on the move. SPECTATOR.

from Galveston, of the 10Th of June,
that General Mckenzie Smith and
eight men had been surprised and
killed by Indians, and received the
following reply:
"Not one word of truth in it.
General Mckenzie Smith was at
Fort Griffin and well on the goth of
of June and was to start on the 22d. :"
The strikers broke out in q fresh
place on Monday in New York.
The mill and broom men who
struck for ten hours met on the
market square that forenoon and
were addressed by several speakers
and there was great enthusiasm.
1900 strikers formed in procession
and marched down town to the few
mills that were in operation and
persuaded the men to join them.
There has been no disturbance so
far. The mayor issued a proclaim
ton Tuesday morning ordering all
places where liquor is sold to be

Lieutenant Colonel Davidson
writes to the Secretary of the In

the main camp of Cheyennes and
some 1000 Kiowas intend to depre-

NOT A CANDIDATE.

EDITOR NEWS: In your issue of
June 2Sth 1 find one or two COM
munications in which my name is
used in connection with the county
SUPPLEMENTARY. Permit me to say
through your columns that 1 will
not be a candidate at the approach
ing election. L am Influenced to
this decision by knowledge of the
fact that in Lyon county (and 1 be-
lieve this same custom prevails In
many other localities) the man who
most desires a certain office and
will work the hardest for it, by per-
sonally soliciting the votes of his
fellow-citizens, is most certain to
obtain it, regardless of his qualifi-
cations. The act of buttonholing
every man you meet and endeavor-
ing to obtain from him a pledge for
his vote is, to my mind, a most con-
temptible course of procedure, and
certainly cannot be resorted to, save
by men the fibres of whose souls
are crystalized in brass, without the
keenest feeling of self-degradation.
l do not need the office badly enough
to seek to obtain it at so serious a
sacrifice of my self-respect. Office
should seek the man, not man
the Office. When the county
SUPPLEMENTARY needs me it will
come to me; until then l am con-
tent, even though the time should
never come.
Thanking your correspondent for
the preference which he kindly man
ifests for me, and ferYently hop
ing that the man who shall be cho-
sen to fill the position, second in i'm
portance to no other in the gift of the
people of this county, will prove a
man capable of discharging its du-
ties with ability, energy and fidel-
ity, subscribe myself
Very faithfully yours,

The Pope has again determined to
appeal to the Great Powers against
the encroachments of King Victor
Emmanuel's Government on his
prerogatives. He says, in a letter
of instructions to Cardinal, Anton
ELI, that he cannot submit to the
usurpations of the italian King, but
as he has no army at his back, and
as there is apparently no disposition
on the part of any of his neighbors
to interfere in his behalf, it is some
what difficult to see just how he is
to help himself. Now that Germany
has taken decided stand against
the interference of the Church with
temporal matters in any shape,
there is little probability that either
Austria or France-the two great
Catholic powers-will risk a misun-
standing with SO dangerous a neigh
boz by attempting to regulate the
into Al operations of Victor En-
mani e Governmet. Poor old

CoNGREss.-We believe it was the
Salina journal which published our
name as q candidate for Congress
from the Southwest. We have no
knowledge of the reasons why it
did so. We supposed it would go
no further and said nothing. But
we see by the last Arkansas City
Traveller that "one-eyed Riley" of
that paper is in trouble about it.
We certainly don't want that won
derful piece of human mechanism
to worry about us this hot weather,
and if it will calm his strong mind
any, we will say that we shall prob
ably not bother anybody about the
matter. We certainly should not
dare to do anything if we desired
to ever SO much with his great in
fuence against US, especially in
Lyon county. We have q slight
recollection of how he consigned us
to obscurity here once.
The Traveller makes the original
point that we would have no weight
except in averdupois. We believe
that has never been mentioned be-
fore. We wish we could return the
compliment and say that the learned
Professor, even had weight in this
respect. AS bad as he makes our
case we are one ahead of him.
The little Professor it seems will
never forgive us for "scooping"
him. once. Revenge is sweet, but
we should think his ''shin" would
get we'll in q year or so longer.

The Republican State Central
Committee have issued q call for
twin conventions, to be held on the
4th of September. The object of
calling two conventions is said to
be to prevent the traffic in candi-
dates. The fact that Pomeroy pa
pers seem to be especially pleased
with the arrangement, makes it
look suspicious, but it may be all
right. But why was not all "prox-
les" excluded from the Convention ?
That would have been in accordance
with the great purifying 2? move
ment oftwo years ago. Paola Re-
publican.
We believe we first suggested the
holding of two conventions. We
did it for what we considered the
good of the party and State. No
ono who reflects can doubt but that
the throwing of all the State Off
GERS and three Congressman into
one convention would work badly.
There is not a single reason in exis-
tence why they should be nomina-
ted together. They are nominated
separately in every other State.
We can assure our friends of the
Republican that Mr.. Pomeroy had
nothing to do with the matter, or
did not even know it was to be at
tempted. 1t is not a Pomeroy
movement in any respect. We
hope the Republican will be calm.
We can assure it that our only aim
is to do what we think is best for
all. We have no pets, and will not
DC especially interested in single
candidate that will be before either
of the conventions. We want fair
and square conventions and good
ticket. That's all.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Davis and Parker, the Labor Re-
form candidates both decline.
Boston had a big Grant and Will
son ratification meeting on the eve

Gov. Harvey, of this State, was
among the speakers, and in the
course of his remarks, assured the
audience that Kansas would give
10000 Republican majority.
The report comes from Nebraska
that Senator Upton is catawauling
all over that State for Greeley. 1t
is refreshing to remember, in this
connection, that but a few years ago,
during the administration of An
drew johnson, Horace Greeley was
appointed Minister to Austria, and
was refused confirmation by the
single "No" of Mr.. Upton, his nom-
ination having been sent IN on the
last day of the session of the Sem
ate. Mr.. Upton then objected be-
cause Greeley had gone on JEFF.
Davis bond, and said at the time he
would never vote for Greeley for
any Office. 1t is interesting now to
see him and JEFF. Davis uniting in
common brotherly affection and
support of Greeley.

Whenever an Office seeker gets
"playad out" in the Republican
party he joins some such concern as
the Liberal movement. In every
Presidential contest there is a party
generally made up of excessively
honest( p people which takes in the
disappointed "dead beats" of the
regular parties. They think the
"new party" is going to win, and
being repudiated where they are
known, they go for it in order to be
first on the list when it comes into
power. Those who have gone into
the Greeley movement for office
and their name is leeion-will be
"kiln-dried" before they get it from
that source.

Bismark's movement against the
Jesuits amounts to about the same
thing as expulsion, and it will not
be long, probably, until that inter-
esting class of society are packing
their little carpet sacks preparatory
to leaving Germany. This meas
ure deprives all Jesuits of their civil
rights, and this, in Germany, means
that they are forbidden to hold Of
fec or properly, to make speeches,
to preach, or to write for publica-
ton. Their testimony is almost
worthless in the courts. They are
subject to constant police surveil-
lance, and the police authorities
may appoint their residences at will,
or compel them to quit Germany
within twenty-four hours at any
time. And it is rumored, also, that
