From Baldwin city.

This is an old city, noted for its strug-
giles with the college question. 1t has
swallowed two other cities, Palmyra
and Prairie City, and yet IS not so large
as Emporia. 1t has a beautiful and well
cultivated farming country around. 1t
is too close TO Lawrence and Ottawa to
be u city, but il may become nice vii
lage. 1t is already drawing around 1t an
intelligent and moral class of citizens
The college is almost out of debt and
manned by several young, energetic edu,
Gators. They are doing good work So
that Baker is a good place to get an edu.
cation. Let our young people try it.

HIS PROPHETIC SoUL.-It appears
that our Methodist brethren in this city
have not only secured the services Of a
first class preacher, but that he is bit of
a prophet as well, as the following from
the Wichita Eagle, attests:
John Kirby once remarked in ser
mon here that America kept the British
Isles IN hot water, but for which Johnny
Bull would freeze up, and that if the
American people wished To bring the
government of Disraeli and Queen Vic.
to terms all we had to do was to turn the
Gulf stream, which would leave Merry
England in perpetual Greenland win
ter. The congregation accepted the sug-
gestion as a good joke, and laughed.
But now comes a United States congress
man who is opposed to the DeLessep
canal, and who introduced resolution
last week which sets forth that the con-
struction of the Panama canal will
change the course of the Gulf stream
and leave the British Isles in ice, desc
lation and death.
c. w Frederick will loan money on
improved farm property or number one
business property in the city, at eight
per cent interest. Commissions govern
ed by amount and time, but as low a;
the lowest Office at court house.

of course the Burlington venture is
still in the nature of a problem, which
cannot be definitely settled until the rev.
olution of the seasons has brought seed
time and harvest, and the colored people
have been afforded an opportunity of
demonstrating their capacity as husband
men in a new climate and with astrange
soil. But it seems to us that. as the
earth is the source of all products, there
can be no more feasible plan than to dis
pose of these people in this manner,
and thus test their fitness for agricultur-
al pursuits and relieve their crowded
and unwholesome condition within the
narrow limits oftheir town quarters.
The land purchased by the Burlington
people was school land and was bought
at a comparatively low figure, making
