CLEoPATRA's NEEDLE, the famed
Egyptian mOnOlith, has at last been
planted on the Thames embankment be-
tween Charing Cross and Waterloo
bridges. Sundry mementoes- Bibles in
French and English, an Arabic Genesis,
a Hebrew Pentateuch, and a verse
from the third chapter of ST. John in
two hundred and fifteen different Ian
guages, have been deposited in an earth
en- jar within its PEDESTAL Since the
time of the Roman EmperOrs there have
been but two colossal obelisks trans
ported from Africa to any part of the
world-the one at London, and another,
the Luxor, monolith of Rameses II, in
Paris. There are only twelve of these
colossal columns now standing on the
face of the earth. Egypt has five, Rome
four, Constantinople, Paris and London
one each.

CEDAR Wiley, IAN. sept. 10.
DEAR NEws:-The summer is ended
and the gathering in of fall crops and
sowing of wheat is the farmers work of
to-day.
Every patriotic Kansan has good reas-
on again to be proud of the generous
yield of old mother earth, and while so
many in more southern chimes are dying
of the terrible yellow fever, in the main
we have good health and enjoy the bless
ings of the giver "of all good and perfect
gifts"
The best yield of wheat yet threshed
made 40 bushels per acre, of as beautiful
white wheat as / ever saw. 1t was rails
ed by the Dwelle Brothers, and sown
among corn in October All corn plant
ed early is good. That planted late is
not as good as the late corn of last year,
want of rain a part of last month and
excessively hot weather was cause for it.
Potatoes are fine and sweet potatoes ex
cellent The wonder is that more OF
the latter is not planted.
DIR. Jones and Frank Giddings are
building large, fine, stone house.
Four sorgum mills are now on the
creek making molasses. Not less than
fifty acres are to make up. They are ali
making good article of molasses.
Not much wheat is yet sown, nor viii
there be as much as last year.
No grasshoppers this year.
Peaches were more plenty this yea
than ever before, and sold at from 25 cts
to 75cts. per bushel. The finest have
seen was grown by Mr.. Varnum on th'
highest upland. What a pity Thousands
of acres more were devoted to fruit cul
ture.
Land hunters are again among u.s.
Farm help of all kinds is in demand.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, FIRST Dis
TRICT.

ResOEUed, That we re-afflrm and declare
our devotion to the principles of the Re
publican party, and its administration
of the national government, under which
the Union has been preserved, its insti-
tutions developed, and our state made to
take front rank among the most pros
porous states in the Union.
ResOLUed, That as experience has in
dorsed the greenback currency, origin
ated and maintained by the Republican
party, as well adapted to the purposes of
a permanent circulating medium, we
hereby declare ourselves in favor of a re-
peal of the national banking law, and a
substitution of the currency issued by
the government, on the security of de-
post of government bonds, ON which no
interest shall be allowed while so used,
and demand that it be issued in sufficient
volume to fully accommodate the wants
of business, without depression in val
ne, and that it be made receivable for all
debts, whether public or private, unless
otherwise specified.
ReS0lced, That all property, real and
personal, according to their true value,
shall equally bear the burdens of taxa
ton, and that we favor the abolition of
all internal revenue taxation, except on
tobacco and intoxicating liquors.

The Republican platform of Kansas
denounces "the issue of an irredeemable
absolute money legal-tender scrip as a
species of reputation, which would
ruin the credit of the nation and the
business interests of the country" 1t
favors an ''honest greenback, that shall
always be worth its face in coin, and
thatit be issued in the.largest volume that
can be kept afloat at par with coin, to
which end we favor law of congress by
which the volume of greenback curren-
cy in circulation shall always obey the
natural law of supply and demand"

A DOLLAR THAT Is A DoLIAR.-Sup-
pose that the mechanic who got "a a

wages then would buy scarcely 6 wards

would now get 80 yards of calico or 40

pounds of butter then, and IA or 16 now.
So, too, with coffee OF tea, and sugar and
molasses, and rice and tobacco, and
whisky and coal, and most of the neces-
sites and luxuries. And when Won save
a dollar now, it Is dollar, and unless
the coalitionists have their way. il is
likely to continue a hundred cent dollar
while you live and your children after
you, without variableness OF shadow of
turning. If you like that the way TO
express It is BY straight Republican

EXTREME NOfIoEss=tAe tendency
of men to run to extremes was never
more thoroughly illustrated than in the
money question 1t is hardly a year
since the so-called Greenback party, all
over the country was advocating an in

cent, interest as the one great principal
measure that was to work wonders in
regulating the currency, There was a
grain of sense in the measure, for bond
bearing S.65 per cent. interest in coin
into which the currency could at pleas
