Further Report of the Meeting at
Hutchinson.

l Eurther Report Of the Meeting at
Hutchinson.
THURSDAY, June 8, 1885,
EDS. NEWS: In my note to you from
Hutchison said that we were promised
ride into the surrounding country at
the close of the afternoon session on
Wednesday. Teams were at the door at
O'Clock, and, in squads of three or
four, we were shown about the country,
to nurseries, gardens and other places of
horticultural interest.
1t was my good fortune to be one of a
party taken to the sand hilsl, five miles
north of the city. These sand hills are
ridge of almost pure sand forming the
blum, or divide between the Little Ar
kansas and the main river, about one
hundred feet above the level plain, or
first bottom, and extending parallel with
the river about fifteen miles, and having
width of about three miles. Former.
ly they were almost destitute of vegeta-
ton, except few scattered primroses,
yuccas and such billy plants, and con-
siderable number of the celebrated sand
plums. Now, however, they are quite
green, and most of our party were of the
opinion that they could be made to sus-
tain a growth of trees if the fire was
kept out.
The soil, as we got away from the
river two or three miles, departed in its
character from the universal sand of the
river and the hills to a kind of hard al
kaline character, much like small spots
often found in this country, and of no
value for farming purposes.
The evening session was well attended
by the citizens, and was enlivened by
excellent music by the sweet singers of
the town.
The presidents address, full of most
valuable thoughts was the principal
exercise of the evening, and the next
morning the parties reported their OBJ
servations on their trip of the proceed
ing evening, with such suggestions as &C.
cured to them. One fact became apparent
at every point, which is that wind breaks.
of some kind in the form of belts or
screens are absolutely necessary to sue
cess in this section of the country.
The pillow, without trees, is destined to
be the destruction of the country by
breaking up the turf and allowing the
sandy soil to drift like snow with the
winds, but screens of trees, hedges and
other similar projections will counteract
this destructive agency. There is no
disputing this fact. Small fruits, birds
and their relation to the fruit grower,
grape culture and several other minor
topics occupied the rest of the day on
Thursday, and the evening was given to
ornamental gardening Horticulture elicit
ing lively interest both from the so
ciety and the citizens of Hutchison.
Upon the whole the meeting was very
instructive to all who participated in its
exercises.
The winter meeting will be at Wyan-
dOtte, December IA, Is, and 10.
Yours truly,
ROBERT MIIIIKEN.

Church Notes ).

Rev. Mr.. Cook, minister who is wide.
ly known in Methodist circles, but who
Is now employed as commercial traveller,
occupied the pull pit of the NJ. E. church
Sunday evening.
The praise service at the Congrega-
tlonal church Sunday night was depar-
ture which we hope to see repeated quite
frequently during the warm weather.
Good music is quite as potent to inspire
devotion as good sermonizing, and the
change is relief to pastor and people.
The selections last evening were divided
between the congregation and choir, and
were very enjoyable. The reading of
Miss Estabrook, of "Jeptha's Daughter
and mo Sect in Heaven" varied the
programme quite pleasantly, and were
well received, as were the well-timed re-
marks of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Cordley
Rev. Mr.. Dudley preached at the
WEIGH church Sunday morning and
Rev. Cadwallader, of Ohio, in the alter
noon and evening.

S. S. Cox of New York, was called to
the chair by speaker Blaine, when the
latter, in Dec. 1872 took the floor and
moved for committee to investigate the
Credit Mobilier swInde. Mr.. Cox made
speech a. Newark, N j., lately, and is
reported as follows:
Mr. Cox went on to say that Hancock
would be elected, and there would be no
repetition OF the fraud of 1875. THE
Republicans say Hancock is a good man,
but that be was nominated by bad men.
That makes me feel bad WHAT did they

Others in that affair. Blaine, for good
ressOus did not want to appoint the
committee. Judge Poland and his Re
publiCan associates did find that Jas A.
Garfield had taken bribe. No Repub
lican can get around, above or under
that. Garfield lied when he said he did

smile and pray, but they can't get around
the fact that Republicans stabbed JAS

that within 80 very long lime the tariff

there must be a variety Oflnterests to be

THE TRUTH PRECISELY.


Garhelds nomination means the endorsement and
approval in the most positive ami Offensive manner
possible OF the p esIdentAl fraud Of 1857 He had
more to do with II than any other man. and was the
only man who occupied toward II double relation.
After the election Garfield went TO New Orleans By
request Of Gen. Grant without authority Of law as
partisan. He went there TO assist his party In max
ing up case and after his return to Washington Of
all his associates he was the only man who took his
seat upon the Electoral Commission. By every sem
timent OF fair play he should have been excluded
nom the Jury box By his own sworn statement Of
what he did in New Orleans Garfield had charge Of
the returns froh West FelicanR Parish. In one Of
the inner rooms OF Packard's Custom House he did
his work. examined the afIidavits, and when they
were not sufficiently full he prepared or had pre-
pared additional lnterroeatori to bring them within
the rules Of the Returning Board. The testimony 30
received by Garfield went back to the Returning
Board and the result was that West FelIclana with
Its Democratic majority was thrown out. In WASH
ngton, GarHeld's vote was that Congress could not
go behind the returns thus made. As agent for his
party he helped to make returns by manipulating
the evidence; and as juryman for the nation he held
such evidence as conclusiye and binding.
