Am Impracticable Proposition.

The proceedings of Farmers Club in this Town
ship which we print in another column, contains
q resolution asking the County Convention to re-
quire of its nominees that they make pledge to
give stated Per csntage npOn their salaries,
when they run above certain amounts, for the
benefit Of the school fund. II is proposition
that cannct be made to work, and should not he
attempted. When n man is elected to Office, be
gives his time and labor to the public, and the
salary is his, the same the proceeds of any 9TH
er labor. The man who would make such bid
for Office, should be defeated upon that alone
for he is dcmagogue, and makes pledge which
he intends to break. public officer is under no
more obligation TO contribute to the school fund
than any other individual. Taxes are imposed
for this purpose and all are required to contrib
ute, in proportion to their means. 1t would be
just as fair to require farmers to pledge them
selves that if they made s2 900 from the products
Of their farms in one year. they would give 5000
Of il to the school fund. The only true plan is to
elect men Of known honesty and capability, and
let them have the salary belenging to the Office.
Another idea that will not work, is that of the
Farmers Clubs directing the actions of the mem-
bers of the Legislature. Better send men to the
Legislature who have good common sense, and
who can be trusted, aud leave them to act upon
questions as they present themselves always
reserving the privilege of instructing or petition
ing them upon special questions.

~ Those Congressman who have not drawn
their part of the back pay steal, and are taking
great credit to themselves for it, while the money
stands there ready for them to rake in when the
excitement dies away, sometimes run against a
snag. Senator Morton was one of these. During
his speech at Athens, Ohio, recently, some one
smoked him out on the subject, and forced the
confession from him that, although he had not
taken the money, it stood snbject to his order at
any time. To clear his skirts he was compelled
to "cover" the money into the Treasury at opce.
He has his eye on the Presidency, and will let
nothing stand in his way. He sacrificed that
S5 600 TO his ambition.

There I. saving that History repeats itsef- Recent
.v.uts within nv own knowledge are almost identical
with the following scrap Of un written History:
Once upon a time in . country that was all that could

where the soil was nexhaustble the climate healthy and
inyisOrating pasture ABUNDANT where streams of pure
water came gushing forth in convenient ocalities-in

of Doniphan, in this state, is showing some of
the best Thoroughbred stock at the Northern
County are " well fixed" that is to say, CON-
fprtabiy surrounded with fair share of worldly
possessions. hence they are turning their atten-
tIon to improving the breed of horses. cattle and
hogs. In times past the sIock raisers of Holt,
Platte and Buchanan counties, Missouri, made
the best display Of thoroughbrrds at our ANIMAL
fairs, but recently Kansans have been active in

A SUGGESTION FOR FAIRs-The design of Ag-

ufactures. 1t is too late for this senson, but We
have suggestion to offer for next year. It is,
that the managers Of the Fair set apart about
81 900 for premiums on butter-the best lump of
certain weight to be awarded 500, and the resi-
due divided up into $40 premiums to be given to
those who bring good butter, but fail to take the
first premium. There is nothing so much needed
in this country knowledge how to make good
butter. 1t is an article almost impossible to get.
Not one in ten can make butter fit to eat. 1t is
miserable stuff, not fit for griddle grease, and
would make very poor article of secondhand
dog-puke. A look at it is enough to turn a stom-
ach less strong that of a buzzard. Why people
do not try to make decent butter, is more than
We can imagine. Perhaps they have become SO
used to miserable "truck," that if they were to
get hold of decent butter, they would think
there was something wrong it-as the man who
once bathed himself, but it made him feel so
queer he thought he was sick, and took a dose
of Incidence Selfinterest ought to induce farm
ers' wives to make first-class butter. Those wo-
men who have the reputation of making good
butter, are not troubled much to find mar
ket, rs they to put off customers whom they
cannot supply. Their butter is always engaged
ahead; they get cash for it, and always little
more than the market price. The manufacturers
of "stuff" dcker il off at stores, in exchange for
goods; and then it usually becomes so strong be-
fore the barter is concluded, that the merchant
has to hold his nose, while weighing it ont, as if
he had discovered the remains of the Grand Mas

CAN'T SEE Ir.-There seems to ms good deal
OF buncombe in the report of the Farmers Com
mittee to investigate the affairs of the County
officers of Atehison County. They make report
that sounds terrible, but amounts to but little,
after all. About the only two facts they show
are: that the County Board has not published
statement of its allowances. rs required 10y law;
and the County Treasurer construes the Law rel
afive to his per cenfage on moneys collected
differently from the opinian of the Committee.
The rest is all Inference, superstition, and nsinu-
alton. They site instances in which the officers
have stepped slightly aside from the letter of
the law, but do not show that the public has
been the loser by it. They say that the officers
offered them every facility to investigate-then,
why did they not investigate fully, as they were
expected to do. instead of trying to prejudice the
public mind with vague statements of imaginary
wrongsi The fact that the two principal men
of the Committee were broken-down politicians,
politically opposed to the County officers, fully
explains the thing.
