CIv1LIzATIoN AND RAINFALL

We are in receipt of a copy of n very
interesting lecture delivered by ii. Il.
Hilton, Esq, before the scientific club of
Topeka. ON the Effects of civilization
ON the climate and rain supply of Kan
sas." The main idea of the lecture is
that the settlement of a country exercises
a great influence upon its rainfall, and
after presenting an interesting array of
facts in support of his theory, Mr.. Hill
ton says:
What western Kansas now needs is a
more general distribution of its rainfall,
and this can be accomplished by pro-
tectiug the prairie grasses from the fire,
cultivation of the soil, by tree planting
and by the spread of the taller grasses
over the cultivated area. This together
with westward march of emigration in
compact settlements as they 60, will &C
complish the climatic change desired
even to the west line of the state
The trouble of late years has been
that our frontier settlers have rushed
west too fast, that they have scattered
too much instead of sticking together
and by their united efforts accomplish
| ing what was so much needed. Nearly
4 fifty miles of frontier were occupied by
settlers in 1873, but not until all this ter
ritory is occupied by denser settlement
can the climate be seriously affected
As the change of climate west from the
| 100th meridian viii be slower than east
of it there is important need
| that the tide of emigra-
ton should march forward slow
| w but compactly, and not push out in
| detached settlements. Unfortunately the
class who insist upon being our pioneers
are the ones that can least afford to wait
until the country is changed from a
grazing to an agricultural one and hence
| great suffering must ensue especially in
an unusually dry season like 1879. Our
pioneers, men who will combine stock
raising with farming.

THE FOLLY OF IT.

There Is apparent, on the part OF
many Of the leading Republican papers
OF the country, Il spiri, Of intolerance,
in The discussion of The presidential
question, which can neither promote the
chances Of the particular candidate
whose course they seek 10 champion,
nor advance the interest of the purity
upon whose success the welfare OF the
country depends for the next four years
IL should &c remembered that, in the
discussion Of ali questions, there is room
for an honest difference of opinion,
and that nothing so thoroughly betrays
the weakness of cause as the descent,
ON the part of its advocates, from the
plane of legitimate argument, 10 the low
level Of vituperation and personal abuse
Among the names prominently men
toned in connection with the presiden-
tial candidacy on the Republican ticket,
are number OF the most distinguished
sons of the Republic-men who have
earned the confidence and gratitude of
the people by services the value of which
cannot be fully estimated, and it has been
with deep sense of pain that we have
seen these earnest and capable servants
Of the public made the objects of per-
sonal detraction and prejudicial com
ment which outragcs every sense of jus
tice, and betrays the deep ingratiiude
born Of "a selfish and bitterly partisan
spirit. d.
The defamation OF James G.. Blaine
by the st. Louis Globe Democrat, aud
the equally unwisc warfare wased by
the Cincinnati Commercial against
Genor'.l Grant, are prominent instances
OF this foolish bigoiry both of which
Journals have their less conspicuous i'm

cidul policy
No man, wc take H. who is unworthy
the respect aud confidence of tho coun-
try al large can secure the endorsement
of the Republican party in its national
convention, and while il is perfectly
proper and legitimate that the compare
tive eligibility of the different candi-
dates should he freely and frankly dis.
cussed, we place ourselves ON record as
strongly opposed to the free use of cal
umny employed 10y partisan journals TO
the prejudice of men who have laid the
country under the everlasting weight OF
obligation imposed by Mr.. Blaine and
General Gran,,and advise their defamcrs
