THE KAW DIMINISHED RESERVE.

1t will be remembered that the
bill which lately passed Congress
provides for the sale of the Kaw
Diminished Reserve SO soon as the
Indians are ready to sell and re-
move south. This fine body of land
is to be sold by sealed bids.
We learn from Mr.. Mahlon
Stubs, the agent, that the Kaws
have received an offer of 100000
for their land, exclusive of improve
ments, which are worth about $780,
600. On Monday Superintendent
Hoag was down to the agency to
ascertain if the Indians were will
ling to sell, provided they can get
the amount stated above. They in
formed him they were. They want
the land sold in body. The pros
pect now is that steps will be taken
Immediately to comply with the law,
sell the land and remove the Indians
to the south. 1t seems about GER
tain that the land will be sold in a
body, as bona fide offer of $780,
600 has been made for it, and the
desire is to turn il into cash at once
for the benefit of the Indians.
Agent Stubs informs us that il
the negotiations for this land are
carried out, before the Indians are
moved a new homo will be selected
and buildings erected, as it is very
desirable not to stop the present
excellent school longer than posi-
BILE. The Friends have overcome
all obstacles and are now succeed
ing admirably with their school.
There are forty-two students in at.
tendance and they are making good
Roadway in acquiring an education.
Mr.. S. is willing to compare the
school with any in tho county. The
Indians learn to sing very rapidly.
and make good music. They first
learn the tune ana then to read the
words. The condition of the Kaws
was never better than at present,
and they are not decreasing near SO
IA idly as formerly.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
HARTFORD, KAN.

The June report of the department
of agriculture now in press is ex-
haustive in its treatment of wheat
statistics. 1t is based on reports
from counties, of which 1919 indicate
an average condition go counties a
higher than average, and 434 low
conditions ranging from 100, the
standard of medium prospect, down
to 10, and in a few cases to entire
failure. These reports indicate a
very large proportion of the wheat
area of the country, and the summa-
mary of returns show q reduction of
2 per cent. from that of 1871. The
general average of condition of the
entire crop is "a. The department
estimate for the crop of 1871 was
230,O00OO0 bushels, at eleyen and a
half bushels per acre, considering II
bushels an average yield. The area
and condition of the present crop,
the first week in June, pointed to q
product of 22O,OOO,OOO bushels in
1872; the crops of 1869, which was
about sixteen per cent. above an av-
erage and the largest recorded in
ten years, was 2s7,OO0OOO bushels
as returned by the census.

The London Telegraph says that
an explanation has been offered in
the German parliament at the first
reading of the bill against the
Jesuits, to the effect that the con-
templated movement against that
body is solely in their political, and
not their religious capacity, and
that it must not be construed as eK-
hibidng any antagonism to the
church of Rome. 1t Yves moreover

I : DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

There is no longer any room to
doubt that Horace Greeley will be
nominated by the Democratic con-
vcntion at Baltimore on the 9th OF
next month. Enough of the Dem
ocratic conventions recently held
have declared for him to secure
this result. So that the great party
once so well disciplined, so we'll or
ganized, with so many leaders and
statesmen in its ranks, accept the
dictations of the handful of sore
head Republicans who met at Gin
cinnati, majority of whom left the
Republican organization because
they failed to get Office, or to have
leading part in running the Re-
publican administration. This must
be humiliating to those who have
heretofore voted the Democratic
ticket from principle. OF course
all understand that the manipula-
tors Of this coalition are after the
'1oaves and fishes" Whether the
"rank ana file" of the party can be
induced to follow the fellows who
are seeking to hand them over to
the worst enemy their principles
ever had, is to be seen. OF one
thing, though, we can speak posi-
lively. The great split in our own
party which the soreheaded Repub
llcans promised the accoucheurs OF
the Missouri movement, is not COM
ing. They will fail to deliver ac-
cording to contract. There is no
doubt but that General Grant is not
tho first choice of many Republic
cans, but they fail to see anything
that promises q better condition of
things in the ticket nomina ted at
Cincinnati. They do not recognize
in that mongrel affair the panacea
for our political ills, and before
voting time comes the Republican
party will be as solid for the ticket
nominated at Philadelphia as it ever
was. If we are not much mistaken
the division in the Democratic will
DO greater than that in the Repub-
lican party. There are thousands
of Democrats who have always
voted with the party from princi-
pie who do not Intend to be handed
over to Greeley, whom they have
been fighting for many years.
We are now satisfied that the race
is to be between Grant aud Gree
Icy. This shape has the campaign
assumed. AS friend of Grant,
we are glad that the opposition has
concluded to fritter away its
strength on the Tribune philoso-
pher. There will be more union
and q better feeling in the Republic
ca ranks than there has been for a
yea last. There will be swearing
and feeling in the Democratic
ranks. There will not be enough
of the distinctive, Liberal element
TO cali scattering. 1t will be the old
hght between the old political arm
les, with this difference, that the
Democrats have got themselves in
tho pitiable plight of running a
renegade RepRSllean whose ambi-
tIon is TO be President, even at the
sacrifice of manhood, principle. de-
cency and everything else.
