grain. ana have saved from FIVE to ten
cents per bushcl in nearly all they have
handled. The Americans have organ
lied farmers clubs and joint stock
companys for handling produce, ETC., bat
in every instance, SO far, they have been
failures.
The Swedes work together harmon
iously for a common interest; they seem
to bear in mind that they have an object
to accomplish, they patronIze their own
institutions. If q member has grain to
sell he ships it through his club II he
does not realize quite as much for some
lot of grain that the club has handled as
some grain buyer has offered he does
not do as many of the Americans would
and say "See here, | have lost FIVE cents
per bushel on that grain. l will do no
more business through your club. he
knows it was organized tor his protec-
ton, and that it will save him many
dollars in the end, and the only way TO
preserve it is to patroize it. How well
the grain merchants of Salina under
stand this. They know if Swedes build
an elevator it will be success; the busl-
ness men generally are wonderfully ex-
ercised, which is perfectly natural they
should be, over the idea of their locating
an elevator at some other point. See
what inducements they are holding out
to have them come there. They do not
trouble themselves about the American
portion of farmers, as they think they
will never be united enough to work to-
gether for self protection.
1t does seem as if this should open
their eyes enough so they might sec to
learn this very useful lesson, that in union
alone there is strength, that although
they may possess capacity, ability, bust
ness tact and general intelligence, all
efforts in this direction will be futile, un-
less they are united. ID. E. FULLER.

Death OF James N. Wlcche!l.

1t appears that James NJ. Winchell and
George Hoyt died on the same day, Feb
I'd. Winchell died at Hyde Park, on
the Hudson, New York. He was born
in Avon, New York in 1923. He went
to Kansas in 1854, and lived at "Coun
Gil City" or Superior City," Usage
county. He was the president of the
Wyandotte convention md very active
in politics up to 1861. Since that time
he has been a correspondent of the New
York Times, and an editorial writer for
that paper. He was a good parliament
tartan, an excellent writer, and rather a
student and scholar than a politician

The Electoral commission last Thurs
day by a vote of 8 to refused to go be-
hind the electoral certificates returned
from Florida. and on Friday blythe same
vote, decided that the four electoral votes
of that State should be counted for
Hayes. The Louisiana matter will I'M
doubtedly be determined in the same
manner. On Oregon will then hinge
the case. And probably by vote of

Hayes. This to business is "good

cisive, and so calmly awaited.

Eastern papers observe that the re-
cent developments of mismanagement
and fraud in life insurance companies
are naturally causing great uneasi-
ness, not only among policy -holders
who find they have been swind!ed out of
money they had paid in premiums, but
also among those vino are issued in sol
vent institutions. The fact, it is sug-
gested, that concerns generally suppos-
ed to rank as firstc.lass have been found
unsound, naturally leaves doubts as to
the trustworthiness of others, especially
among the large class of people who
have no means of forming an intelligent
judgement for themselves as to the rela-
tive strength of such institutions. There
are thousands Of heads Of families who
have for long years practiced great self
denial in order to make provision, in
case Of death, for those who are depend
ent upon them and in view of this fact
all life insurance companies that are able
to present the proofs of their stability
should take the earliest opportunity to
relieve the anxiety of policy holders by
aiding in every available way the efforts
of the authorities to give the public au-
thentic information as to their actual
ondition.-kansas City Journal.

Ex-Gov. Wells, the witness whom the
Democrats have tried so hard TO bulldoze,
Is confined in adamp, unwholesomo cell
for the reason he has nOtproduced papers

old; sick nigh unto death, because OF
disease which he has contracted since
his confinement. The men who gloa,ed
over the sufferings of the victims of Lib

very fine feelings, and care very little
for the suferings of POOR dccrerit

counties, to the amount OF S172 900, were
fraudulently issued and that they paid
for the Comanehe bonds los cents on

for the Barbour bonds. The petition
further sets forth that tho bonds were

Gov. Osborn and report from Atter-

organization of those counties was fraud.
