A GOOD VENTURE.

The multifariOus rumors regarding the
publication OF an additional morning
daily at Topeka, have finally material
lied into scheme whose consummation
will prove a source of congratulatiOn,
not only to the citizens of the capital,
but to the people of the entire state. The
Capital Of the 10Th inst announces that
the charter of The Topeka Daily Capital
Publishing Company has been filed
with the Secretary Of State,
that it has paid up cap
ital stock of 30,OO0, and that the d.
rectors are j. K Hudson, e. b. Purcell,
John r. Malvane, w. A. johnson and
Henry King. The company is formed
for the purpose Of publishing, as a
morning paper, the Daily Capital, with
complete news dispatches, and doing,
in connection Herewith, general book,
job printing and publishing business.
The undertaking will be sustained by
ample capital, and, rs we understand il,
no effort will be spared to make the
Capital, in every feature, the leading
journal in Kansas.
In the new organization Captain Hen
~ King will be editOr-in-chIef, and ]. K.
Hudson business manager. This Of
itself warrants the strongest faith in the
success of the undertaking. Captain
King, by unanimous consent, stands at
the head of letters in Kansas, and has a
national reputation as a forcibie and
elegant writer. He quite recently de-
clined the position of lead
ing editor on the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, preGerring to remain at TOpe-
ka where his interests are located, and
with whose progress he has been prom
inently identified. Mr.. Hudson has, in
the face of discouraging odds against
him, already made the Capital first
class paper, and with enlarged facilities
for success, will employ his indefatiga-
bic energy 10 excellent purpose
The enterprise will start off with the
very best wishes of the press throughout
the state, and under the capable manage
ment announced, there can be no doubt
as to the result of the undertaking.

New York Herald: The prohibition
movement in North Carolina has re-
ceived severe set hack, its ticket hav-
ing been defeated by over forty thousand
majority. Whether it will ever again
appear as an issue in the politics Of the
state must be left to the future to de-
termInc. If its advocates and support
ers are earnest, sincere men, they will, of
course, be encouraged TO persevere, and
the battle will be fought again and
again. The curious thing about this
Southern prohibition business is that il
appears 70 lie altogether Democratic
idea. In the East ana West Republicans
are generally the leaders in reform move
ments of this character, and their sup
port comes from the Republican rank
and file. In North Carolina the Repub-
licans oppose prohibition, and in the
election just closed all or nearly all of
them, black and white, voted against it.
Out West, if it is proper to call Ohio
West any longer, a temperance party
and prohibition party have turned up
to bewilder the politicians, more espe-
cially the Republicans whose votes they
are likely TO draw off. 1t is the uncer-
tain element in the campaign, and, it
is not impossible, may decide the result.

AGRICULTURAL REPORTS

We are in receipt Of the Second Quar-
terly Report of the Kansas State Board
OF Agriculture for 1881, o leading
feature of which is valuable papers by
the most prominent growers in the var
ious counties on the raising, handling
and marketing of broom corn, castor
beans, flax and hemp. These crops,
though formerly considered as of minor
importance, are found to be well adapt
ed to Kansas soil and climate, and owing
to their comparative freedom from insect
depredations are especially likely to re-
ceive no small share of attention in fq-
ture. To all interested in a greater aud
more profitable diversity of crops, this
collection of information from men act
uaIly engaged in their cultivation, will
prove Of great interest and value.
Besides the foregoing, the report gives
the condition of grains, grasses, vege-
tables, fruits, farm ANIMALS; statistical
tables Of population of counties, and of
cities having over 800 Inhabitants; the
acreage of principal crops for the year,
with increase and decrease; also tables
showing the number Of bushels of old
corn on hand March 1. 1880, and March
i, 1884, with increase and decrease In
each county. Pages "a to 80, inclusive,
are devoted to a paper by Mr.. Cyrus
Thomas, of the United States EntOmoiog
ical Commission, on "The Chinch Bug;
itshistory, characteristics, habits, and the
means of destroying it or counteracting
its Injuries" Pages 80 to 93, inclusive.
are occupied with an official report Of
the semi-annual convention of the Kan
sas Wool Growers and Sheep Breeders
Association, held at EmpOria June LIST.
Seven pages are devoted to meteOrologi-
cal reports and data for the quarter. fol-
lowed by list of Kansas state, district
and county agricultural societies, to-
gesher with the names of the secretaries,
their postoffice addresses, and the time
of holding fairs for 1881. The report
contains 100 pages, and can be obtained
upon application, by enclosing two
threecent stamps to the secretary, j. X.
Hudson, Topeka, Kansas.

Captain Cook, the Ohio man who
slapped the mouth of the fellow who
said he hoped Garfield would die, is ia
nous. About $4,000 people have sent
penny subscriptions to the Cincinnati
Commercial TO pay off his fine for the
assault and TO purchase testimonial.
The Commercial publishes four or five
columns of names day, and among them
are those of Republicans, Democrats and
confederate soldiers. Many long lists of
names are sent from workshops, and
some of the remarks sent with them are
expressive. Thus, one list was headed
with the hope that the amount contri.
buted in excess of the fine would "be
used to purchase drum to drum the
thing Morrison out of Ohio" Another:
ave sincerely hope. that the slap was of
such a nature as TO keep the mouth of
Morrison in sling the balance of his
natural life"

Tramps seldom or never ee, sunstru,

Tramps seldom or never get sunstruck
and they enjoy the long vacations of
their lives with pretty good health. The
fact is that tramps drink great deal of
bultermill. Perhaps it is not so valu-
able as "koumiss," but it is so good that
other people besides tramps have dis
covered its virtues, and it is beco ming a
fashionable beverage. The tramp, how
ever, has one advantage over the man
who works in the city. AS he goes
along the road lac selects n dairy farm,
discovers that the blue churns are not
stuck, end up, to dry on the top of a
grapevine post, knows thereby that
churning is going on, listens for the
thud of the dasher, does not offer 10 aid
at the work, lies down in the shade of
the nearest woods until the thud ceases,
approaches the house and asks for so
modest drink as fresh buttermilk.

OVER THE STATE

The Greenwood county fair will be

Leroy must he growing. An addition

cal speculator.
A man named Pickering, living near
Heosho Falls, has lately fallen heir to
an estate of $4,000 in the old country.
George McClintock, former proprietor
of the Mcpherson Republican, intends
starting a paper atSocorro, New Mexico.
Anthony Republican: It has been de-
mOnsirated that wheat sOwn early in the
fall does the best The results of our
harvest this year settles this matter
Those who sOwed early on ground well
prepared were rewarded with an abun-
dant yield, some fields averaging thirty
bushels to the acre. It has also been
observed that as general thing corn
planted early does well, and that in
every instance Il must be well cultivated.
the difference between well and poorly
cultivated fields in Harper county this
season is marked, and ought to convince
all Of the importance Of early planting
and thorough cultivation

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

New York Tribune: It is evident
enough that there is no party in Virginia
which is sitting up nights in its anxiety
to pay the whole of the state debt.
The aesthetics, from all that can be
learned Of them through the newspapers,
strike the average western man as an
aggregation of ''cranks" of the supper
air and solar walk" order.
Ex-Surgeon General Hammond is
supposed to be the cranky surgeon edi-
tor of the New York Herald, who gives
chunks of wisdom on the Presidents
case from magnificent distances.
Vennor evidently realizes that even as
well poised nationality as the Ameri-
can people may reach a point where for
bearance ceases to be a virtue. He has
written letter in which he says he will
make no more predictions until October
Once in a while the public hears
something about Fornsy. Like Roscoe,
he has been "humiliated." He manages to
attract little attention yet In the pub
lie puddle by violently kicking. Never
theless he is pretty nearly dead duck, !"
as Andy johnson observed.
Although popular interest is mainly
conferred upon the bulletins from the
White House, it has not escaped public
attention that Mr.. Tilden is in excellent
health and has so far recovered from the
effect of his paralysis as to use his fine,
Italian hand with moderate effect In set
ting up the pins for 1884. The Sage of
Gramercy Park is not so young as he
used TO be, but he generally manages to

The Kansas City Journal, with rash
temerity, speaks of D. II. Anthony as the
crank of the Leavenworth Times'
Brother Van Horn had better be little
cautious about raising the question Of
his cotempoFary's sanity in advance OF
possible contingencies which might rem
der such claim Of infinite service to the
Times editor. Il is intimated that Col.
Dan is extremely handy with a revolver.
Pope Leo, who is reported to be i'll,
would no doubt have better chance for
long life if he would abandon the policy
Of his predecessor, and cease TO shut
himself up in the Vatican. The fiction
of the prisoner of the Vatican" no
longer has any influence on the minds Of
Catholics. Everybody knows that the
Pope is as free 70 leave his palace as any
Roman citizen is to go out Of his house
and that the Italian government puts no
sort OF constraint upon him.

New York Tribune: Mobs are always
cOwardly. The men who compose them
count upon carrying out their designs
without risk TO themselves, and If they
find they arc likely to get hurt they are
usually seized with panic. This was
what happened to a mob in Fredonia,
Kansas, recently, that attempted to
lynch two men confined in Jail under
accusation of murder. The crowd was
brave enough so long Is It met with no
resistance, but when one of the prisoners
shot man IN the attacking party all the
rest fled in dismay. Kansas is civil
lized state with courts, jails, and hang
men too, when they are needed, and the
excuse Tor resort to lynch law often
made in frontier settlements cannot be
urged in palliation of an aIrair like that
at Fredonia. IL is rare, however, that
mob attack ends so satisfactorily. No
body was lynched, but one Of the mob
leaders was fatally wounded.
