THE public have always been lacking
confidence in Pawn-brokers' shops, from
the fact that they were here to-day and
away tomorrow, they having no regard
for the patronage Of their customers,
merely trying to take advantage whenever
they could. We must note one exception
in this State, and that is the establish
ment of Uncle Harris, the celebrated
pioneer, No. 221 Kearny Street, between
Bush and Suffer.

From Senator Conkling's Speech at the New
York Republican Convention.]
ConkIinpsS Plea for HARMONY

The party now is is united on every
essential, indeed ON every living issue.
Last year, and the year before, this
was not so true as it is now. Time
makes US all wiser, and things we have
differed about heretofore have been
settled by events. No matter who
was mistaken or deceived-if any one
was-faith and experience have made
us whole. Many who have opposed
us in the past have become convinced
that Democratic success, which means
Southern domination now, is not wise
or safe. | speak not Of managers or
contending leaders, but Of men of
level heads who think and look be-
yond the present. With such a ticket
and such a platform as we shall pre-
sent, we can fail to carry the State
only by inaction and neglect. There
will be no inaction OF neglect this
year. The duty is too high and too
urgent, the occasion is too great and
too vital. The feeling and convic-
tions of Republicans are. too deep. A
people who fought sad, devastating,
Iamentable war, and gave up their
bravest and their best, will not fold
their hands in ignoble supineness
when all they won in battle is in
peril Of beng snatched away. New
York must stand this year at the head
of the Republican column to this
end let us pledge ourselves and each
other.

To the Editor of the Standard

To the Editor of the Standards:
Dear Sir:-I send you a spike off the
Castor Bean, in it you can see what we
raise in Kansas. 1t is supposed that
there will be raised in Neosho County
this season twenty thousand bushels
of Castor Beans. A stalk will produce
from ten to twenty spikes. The far
mer prepares a yard like a coal hearth.
As the beans ripen, they cut the spikes
off and throw them on the yard.
The sun makes them pop out. The
stems are raked off, and then the beans
are run through wind mill. They
are then ready for market. The price
at present is S1.O0 per bushel. We
can raise from eight to twenty BUSH
els to the acre.
The crops are good, wheat averages
from IS to 90 bushels, corn from 35 to
45, oats very good, flax very poor.
The health of the county very good.
[ wish you would take those beans to
the county fair. Yours truly,
JOHN MILLIKEN.
P. 81 forgot to mention the Mil
let crop. One of my neighbors raised
fifty tons on thirteen acres. | have
this year forty acres of beans on my
place.

| am quite lost since your most val

was my neglect in not sending. 1t is
near two months since | had the last
paper Please send it when you get
this. Inclosed you will find the
money for twelve months subscrip-
ton.
We are all we'll, and as yet well
pleased with Kansas, although we
have not raised everything just as we
wished in my neighborhood. Our
wheat, potatoes, and cabbage are
partly a failure, yet we have plenty
to live on, and it is so easy raised. 1t
takes very little labor to raise grain
here to what it does in the hilly and
timber country, and as many of your
readers well know, [ never did want
to set things afre by hard labor.
Well, few words to my old and
good neighbors in good old Jackson
county. [ am at present running a
blacksmith shop. I bought a new set
of tools, and have got. M. J. Robert
son, an experienced blacksmith from
Lucasville, Ohio, working for me. He
is getting a good custom for the time
we have been at work. | have raised
35 acres Of pretty fair corn this year,
got it in shock, and am sowing wheat.
| will not put out large crop of
wheat this year, on account OF my
ground being too new. [ was much
pleased to hear Of my old friend John
Mackley, in one of your papers. | had
almost forgotten him. Didn't know
where he was, or whether he was alive
or not. He made my fathers coffin.
[ recollect well he wrote across the
breast with a paint brush. 1t was
well done.
I also saw short letter from John
Conner, and from Keaton, from Iowa.
It makes me think back of times past.
| would be glad to hear Of others of
my old friends through the Standard,
as it is a good way of telling each 9TH
