PICK up any Kansas paper about this
time in the year, and the first item that pro-
jects sufficiently from the level of the page to
attract your eye begins, ''plant trees" Read
any official report, from the elaborate vol
ume Of the Board of Agriculture down to
the pamphlet Of the indefatigable investigs-
ton committee, and the word in Italics is
''tree. planting" The gifted writer of DR..
Aug. Kenig's wonderful XXX breast-tea
advertisements, heads his mightiest literary
efforts with, Zone million Of trees" The
grange urges you to start grove; and the
Horticultural society, like the rocks of Lore
ley, echoes with teniold voice. The county,
the State and the National Government, offer
you golden inducements to plant trees.
Your neighbor talks to you about it across
the fence; your wife, brought up in the shady
woods Of the east, dreams and long, for the
majestic kings of vegetation; while your
children. the poor creatures, are doomed to
spend their mondays in the scanty shade Of
sunfowers and jimson weeds. You like trees;
you know that they bring returns hundred
fold; you want to plant some, but-you are
going to wait another year.-Industrislist.

THE NEW LAND DISTRICT.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Atchison Chsmpion, says:
The boundaries of the new Southwestern
District are likely to be somewhat changed
in the Senate from what they were rs fixed
by the House. Ford county is anxious to be
included in the new district, 60 that Dodge
City might stand chance for the location Of
the Offices. But it would hardly be possible
TO secure such q result in any event, as the
department would certainly not consent to
establish the Office At the extreme eastern
edge Of the district. Land districts are not
usually created for the benefit Of particular
localities, or even for the special advantage
of the Register and Receiver. though people
sometimes act a. if those two considerations
were the only ones to be entertained.

SHEEP RAISING IN KANSAS.

You ask me for few figures regarding
my flock of sheep, and what they have done
for me the past year. You are aware that
my flock consists Of Aerinos, fine wool, and
numbering l,400. herd these during sew.
en- or eight months of the year on vacant
land-the entire cost being for salt and one
nan TO herd them. During the winter I
iced prsirie hay or straw and one feed of
grain dsy, making the entire expense per
head very small sum. l sold 800 fat
ve,hers after shearing at S. per head. The
flock shearing 10000 pounds Of wool, for
which i received 26 cents per pound, in all
5000. This took to market in Eve loads.
Ny lambs replace all losses. and the 800
sold, 20 my flock is worth just rs much as
when / started in, and have paid me, in

TIE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

During the Presideatial year party lines
will be sharply drawn. There can be no
successful Independen! chutes. There are but
two Issues before the county-the lssue made
BY the Republicans and the isue made BY
the Democrats. Issues of all other organi.
sations are but side shows, compared with
the struggle impending between the two great
parties-tbe Republican and the Democratic.
For effective, successful work, the mass OF
the people will be divided between these two
main parties. We recognize the importance
OF having Republican organization to add
70 the strength and effectiveness OF the party
we Represent. We, therefore, INTERESTINGLY
pronounce in favor of making the issue po-
li,ical upoa county candidates, and shall ad-
here to this purpose, whether the field looks
favorable for success or not. We have con-
versed with number Of Republicans in Ford
County upon this subject, and they are Of one
opiDion-ihst party lines shall Be drawn, so
far as the Republicans are concerned. We
understand tina, the opposition will not 1t
candidates in the field representing either
Republican or Democratic ideas. Their sole
purpose lie to vim, regardless Of the principles
at sake in National affairs. Already, (if
it has no, been for some time), there is an
organization at work to accomplish the In
dependent dodge. ignoring the time-bopored
custom Of the Democratic party. Allied with
this organization are few Republicans, who
probably for the loaves and fshes, will for
sake party interests and unite with the oppo-
s;tion for the accomplishment of their pur-
pose.
There are no local interests this year which
demand obiiteration of party linea. There
never are, so far as that is concerned. In
view of the importance an effective political
organization will have in deciding the issues,
our firm convictions 60 in the direction Of
making the contest upon the principles We
advocate-whether it be for President or for
the minor office of Coroner. We believe
there are sufficient number Of Republicans
in Ford County who look upon this matter
in the same light as We do, and who will
rally to carry the standard upon the platform
of strict adherence to principles.
An active Republican party organization
will be made in Ford County this year. A
Republican county ticket will be put in the
field. We have considered the wisdom OF
this move in consultation with our county
friends; and are acting advisedly in the
course We propose. To those Republican,
who dissent, the alternative Of taking back
seats in the future, will appear evident.
Factions opposition is of but raomentary
duration. A Republican organization will
endure-and its PRINCIPLES forever.

Mr.. >. l.. Griggs, the well known Chicago
publisher, has written a letter, which we
ind in the Charlotte Observer, that settles
the q iesti0n OF the authorship Of the poem
1T is a part Of a long New Years ad-
dress, written for the Chicago Journal by
Benjamin +. Taylor, while he was literary
editor of that paper, which position he held
Tor thirteen years. There is no possibility
authorship of this poem, as the facts and
circumstances relating to it are so easy of
proof by thousands. [ lave no copy of the
New Years address, as it is more than a
quarter OF a century since it first appeared !;
but it is In the file Of the Journal, which
cannot be spared.
After New Years Mr.. Taylor, as editor,
cut up the poem, aud inserted parts of it
every little while in the Journal, under va
rious titles, and these began to be copied
widely, oftentimes no credit being given
either to Mr.. Taylor or the Journal"

The Chicago Tribune prints in n dOubleleaded edi
tOrlal, letter written to a friend in Iowa, by an
army officer in General Haneoek's department. whG
for many years has been TO the person and con
fidence of General Hancock. We give the text re,.
bdtB, it evnees the writer's affection his Com
manding General. and bears the marks Of truth and
sincerity. II says:
"GoyERoR's ISLAND. New YORK, September q.
General Hancock, the dear old man, is just now
on the verge of desperation, and knows not which
way to turn what to do The glitter of the Presi
dency has turned his head, and the continued heat
and turmoil of the campaign. with the differences be-
tween Northern and Southern Democrats so strongly
marked to equalize and adjust, fear will drive him
stark mad.
Presidency than trithered henIock. will be frank
with you-it is true. He knows nothing of the
South, except the few polished and crafty leaders
that called upon him here, and his brief acquaint-
ance with the same class of men in 1867 at New Or
leans. He means well enough, God bless him, but
he cannot comprehend the crookedness of politics
and those bred in the bone politicians And now
while on the subject will give you the secret Of this
Hancock move, and il is this: That Indiana disWl-
ionis, William H. English is 10 be the real President.
Hancock is not erpoced 10 tire Ot fraction Of his term,
and that eIpocdtiOn sorry 10 say, is fOHnddd on
facts. Any depression from his regular habits is La
BILE to bring apopete stroke. Strong symp-
toms have twice exhibited themselves since his
natOn. And it is the verdict of all around him that
his promotion to the Presidency will terminate his
earthly career. But this fact has bcen and is most
carefully guarded, for you readily dis
cern. And now dear boy yoH hare the inside Of TITS
Presidential business With English as President
You can readily comprehend what these shrewd fel-
lows ofthe South can accomplish
The Tribune adds: The above reads like n family
letter; indeed, it comes from II member of General
Hancock's military family, and one who regards
General Hancock with something of the same alice
tion one feels for his father. We have the orig.
inal letter in our possession, with a private note
from the receiver of it, authorizing its publication
but withholding the name of the writer for personal

Tickets-Take Notice.

We shall be glad to receive orders for election
tickets from all parties, but we are not anxious
to do the work for nothing. There has never
yet been an election in the County, but we have
lost heavily on ticket printing-seldom getting
pay for half the work we did. We give notice,
at this early day, that we shall not print tick
ct without it is first paid for. The ticket will be
three times as long ordinary, but we shall
print them at the usual prices per thousand
Each candidate each party can easily deter
mine the number Of tickets they want, and as
each candidate the ticket fair proper
tioa, and collect it before the tickets order
ed. This is the correct way to do, anyhow. We
are willing to print tickets for any party, on
these terms we don't want the work on any
other.

A PREDIcTIoS ABOUT DELAWARE CHANGING HER
PoLrTICs.-The Republicans expect to show n strong
front. They have had no State or county ticket in
the field since 1876 and the organization of 1880 had
to be built up from the ground. The fact is, the
Democratic party in Delaware, with all its apparent
question of time when this will give way. In 1876
the majority for Tilden GO, but there that
year little or Republican effort in Kent county.
This time Kent is well organized, and whereas Tlden
then had in it ,3I3 majority, the Democrats them
selves do not venture to expect more than half that
and this is beyond what the Republicans concede.
In this city, where the manufacturing industries give
life to every kind Of business, the Cincinnati plat
form is Naturally offensive. No Noexpectations need be
formed from what has been said that Delaware will
now leave the line of the Solid South There will be-
however, some important gains made by the Repub
LEANS and great rise of the popular tide will
of these days carry the State away from her present

How Hnncock,s Success Would Affect Gov.
ernment Bonds.


One fact is worth than a Thousand windy
speeches There is prominent and Jealous Demo
erat in this city who has been particularly vocerou.
in advocating the election of Gen. Hancock He did
not expect Democratic victory in Maine he said
but counseled everybody to wait for the vote of In
diana. On Tuesday morning, soon possible
after hearing the unexpected news of so-called
Democratic victory in Maine he went down to his
bankers and gave orders to sell quietly, and did sell
at once $4,000 worth of United States per cent
bonds While boasting that the election Of Gen
Hancock was now assured, he was proving what he
privately thought of the consequences by selling
his Government bonds; and he was right. The
bankers and BUSINESS of this city were of his
opinion. The price dropped three-eighths of pei
cent. during the day, although YET, the result in
Maine uncertain, and few failed TO that the
fusion which existed there did not exist in Other
States. In London, also, decline in the price OF
American Government bonds at once produced
by the same fear of Democratic success.
Yesterday, the news became more satisfactory ia
the Republicans. The certainty that they had lost
nothing, but had gained upon their vote of last year
and had secured both Houses of the Legislature
three members of Congress, the next Senator from
Maine, and probably the Governor caused imme
diate advance in Governments. The per cent
bonds which had closed on Tuesday at 100, bid re,
covered their decline, and closed last night at ll0i
bid The confident Democrat who sold his Govern
ments and burned his tar-barrels in rejoicing
other Confederate victory, is sadly contemplating
the fact that he cannot get his bonds back without
loss, and learning that the Democratic party usually
brags than il works and promises more than il
performs.

Y 1t is sad to see young man, just entering
upon life for himself, tie himself to the rotten,
moss-grown Democratic party, the enemy of
progress and light, where, by association and
practice, he will develop into fossilized bgot,
with no room in his brain for a free, liberal
thought. But we have heard of worse case in
this County. young man, not over twenty
five years of age, who can read, persistently re-
fuses to read newspaper, giving reason,
that if he reads, he is afraid he will learn some
thing that might cause him to change his mind,
and turn from Democrat to Republican,
When a young man rejects information, lest it
should cause him to turn from the wrong to the
right, it is truly hard case

THOSE DEMOCRATIC cGENERAIs.-The Atchison
Patriot republshes its list of Union Generals who
have come ont for Hancock. 1t is an instructive
list 1t contains 1l6 names. Not over one-fourth
of these ever distinguished themselves sufficient
ly TO be known outside of the brigades in which
they served, if, indeed, there are such Generals
in existence. About one dozen of them have act
ed with the Republican party, at one time or an
other; the remainder have always been hard
shell Democrats. The list contains the name of
General Samuel +. Cary, of Ohio, who was never
in the army, and got his title of General from
being general blow hard. 1t contains the name
of Joseph Lane, of Oregon, who did not fight in
the Rebellion, but who remained at home, a no.
torious Rebel sympathizer. 1t contains the name
of Charles A. Dana, of New York, who was never
in the army, but who, during the Rebellion, oc-
cupied position in the War Department, and
who has been abusing the Republican party
since 1869, because Grant would not make him a
member Of his Cabinet. The Chiefs weekly list
of Democratic Generals is a thousand times more
reliable than the Patriots.

THEY SQUAT.-The Hancock boom is burst
and his cause is hopeless, and his party know it,
Every utterance they make, even though they
try to be courageous and cheerful, sounds like n
death-rattle. They cry fraud in Ohio and Indi-
ana, and confess that the dcstinies of the Repub-
lie have been decided by their votes. Their
special dispatches from Washington suggest the
forlom hope that the election may be thrown in
to the House. The way they cyPher this out is
as follows. They still claim New York and New
Jersey, which will run their vote up to 1s2.
They concede 1873 votes to Garfield, which is 2
less than majority. But to arrive at this, they
claim that the Fusionists.will elect Electors in
Maine, who will go for Weaver, and that Gar
field will get but from that State. And on
this slim thread, the hope of dividing the cleo
toral vote of a State, they hang their forlorn
hope. fWeaver fails to carry these in Maine,
the goose is cooked And he will fail. Garfield
will carry the whole g. with the votes of New
York and New Jersey also. "Bye, Hancock,

~ The question of Gen. Hancock's wound at
Gettysburg is now under discussion. 1t has
hitherto been understood that the wound was
made by nail driven from fence by q cannon
ball; but Democratic doctor has been found
who swears that it was musket-ball wound,
and that he extracted the ball. But another
fact has been located by the discussion, that has
not heretofore been generally known. 1t is that
the wound was in Hancocks gable-end-the rear
part of his person that was in immediate contact
with the saddle. A soldiers wounds are honor
able; but no soldier just likes to admit that his
wounds are in that particular part of his superb
person.
