articles, editorial articles, satires, puns
and all manner OF attacks, are being
made by the money interests, through
The columns OF the subsidized Ecwspa-
pers and periodical press, are put forth
daily. These attacks are having their
effect upon weak-knced country edi-
tors, who stand ready TO do the bid
ding OF city editors, or some local
banker, or money shaving lawyer, or
railroad manager or station agent.
This line of tactics will not win. Ii is
confession eli weakness on the part
of the monopolists, because these at
tacks are not courteous discussions,
but. on the contrary, abound in abuse.
The writers invariably sheer at the in
tclligcnce OF the farmers, or openly de-
nounce them as fools. The temper of
the articles clearly indicate that the
Farmers Movement is not understood,
or that the writers of every shade are
determined TO misrepresent the posi-
ton which the Changers have taken.
So far as the railroad question is con-
ccrncd, the farmers demand, and they
are determined that the demand shall
be complied with, that the doctrine
that corporations can acquire rights
by charter, under which they can defy |
the power OF the state and Nation, is |
repugnant 10 every just Interpretation
of our State and National Constitu-
tons, therefore this pernicious doc
trine must be wiped out. The farm
ers, also, demand reform in the man
lgement of monopoly corporations, in
order 10 insure economy and efficiency.
There is nothing unreasonable III this.
All Of the bowling which the subsid-
zed press has done in regard to COM
agrarianism, and every other
SIN, is foreign TO the subject. The
armers have demanded many other
eforms, and these demands are sure

The Catalpa as a Hardy Tree.

The past winter has fully tested the
hardness of many trees claiming to
be iron-clad, the mercury having cer-
tainly gone as low as twenty-sevcn de-
grecs below zero, IL not lower. On
close examination, not twig of this
tree seems to be injured. Nursery
stock has been killed, root and branch,
top ard bottom, in whole rows, pla-
toons and regiments-to the amount
of many thousands of dollars, in the
Northwest, almost ruining many in
dustrious, worthy men. But SO far,
the Catalpa does not show the Slight

nutricious grasses that brush their
sides in open meadows that arc bound

kind. The abundant grasses, pure wa
ters and warm climate render this por-
ton of Kansas the finest stock country
probably liz the known world. The
corn crop is safe before the rains cease,
and after that time the grass cures
upon the ground and makes natural
hay, retaining much of its nutritious
qualities. which serves as perennial
pasture for stock. The fall and winter
seasons, which east of the Missouri
are marked by the prevalence of cold
rains aud chilling storms so trying to
stock, here are marked by dry and
bracing weather. Occasional storms,
in which light, dry snow is drifted and
upon the surface, occur, DUR

opened the door Of the carriage for, as the boy

the boy to hold the horses, and, accompanied
by Tweed, went to the waters edge and looked
anxlously up and down the river, as if expect

turned. Tweed got into the carriage, aud the
man again taking the reins, drove rapidly off
