be very pleasant, doubtless, and the suggestion

appearance of the periodical but We did not put up

the exchange copy. They expressed themselves
much pleased, but their pleasure did not take the
shape Of money orders or greenbacks and the re-
suit was that the Kansas Mnga-ine pursued its glo

s. c. PoNERoY.-Mr. s. G. Pomeroy, formerly a
Republican Senator from Kansas and still remem'
bered a canting statesman of the Schuyler ColfaN
breed has turned up in Washington after too short
a disappearance from politics. He is try ing to steel
a precarious boom for n supposed new party to he
called the Prohibition and AntSeere Society Party
The reduction of the rest of the United States TO tho
condition of Maine, and the suppression Of the
Daughters of Rebecea and Knights Of Pythias may
be the momentous issues for which the people
are pnng. but We fear that they will not call Pom
eroy to represent their principles.
Ii Is probable that Pomeroy has marked himself
for the head Of the ticket but he Is too late Among
the priests Of prohibition. Father Neal Dow has the
call and even in Kansas itself exoy. st. John is
more persistent and inveterate prohibitonist than
Pomeroy. And the Rev. Jonathan blanchard. OF
Illinois College is already in the field a candidate
for President on the antisecret society platform
Poor Pomeroy, He survives. and he is left.
The object Of his visit to Washington was. TO III
duee Mr. Blanche X. Bruce to run for Vice President
on the Pomeroy platform. Mr.. Bruce will not listen
to Pomeroys proffers, and the second place on the
ticket is open so any eligible eolored man We re
spectfully suggest the of the Rev John Jasper

FROM GARDEN CITY.

GARDEN Git, KAN, May II, 1888.
EDITOR CHIEF:-This has been day Of interest
to Garden City, and the surrounding country. One
hundred and seventy editors were banquettcd nj
this place. The editors OF this place, Carr, OF the
Hrigaior, and Joseph Dillon, Of the Heraidl met the
exeursionists at Winfield, and escorted them. The
train arrived about 10 O'Clock. All the vehicles
that eould he had were placed at their disposal
All that cared to take ride were accommodated.
Among the number were Clicks had boy and his
girl John Jones led the procession, with his
hounds and in a short time started upa jack rabbit.
AL were excited. Clicks bad boy was seated next
his girl, and on the other end was an old lady.
Click reached around and caught hold of the seat.
Never mind sir. won't fall out, said she. "But
might was the reply. During the ride. two fine
rabbits caught by the hounds.
Unfortunately, the river is dry now, and W have
no water in the bitches. Last week, we had a fine
rain, and don't need irrigation just at present We
have bitches each side of public streets and rows
of trees set out parallel with the bitches. This was
noted and approved by the press. Your humble
servant felt like the boy that went TO spelling
school, and beeause his girl not there it spoiled
the whole evening for him. l gazed and asked
earnestly for Sol Miller, of the Kansas Chief but
no response, and therefore disappointment.
After the ride, all adjourned to the church, and
were royalty banquetted by the ladies of Garden
City. Among the delicacies, let me mention fresh
antelope and-onions. 1t was a general feast for
all-the city and surrounding country included
A. j. Abbott, of this place, made the address of
welcome, followed by Col. Clark Z. Carr, of Gales
burg, ILL.,, Noble Prentis, of Atchison, Mr.. Kelly,
and others.
Upon the arrival Of the excursionsts the wiud
blew quite gale. No doubt the editors were the
cause. Taking it all into consideration, Garden
City pleased with her visitors, and the editors
were pleased with Garden City.

DoN'T MONEY! WITH TIE TAEIFF BuZLSNw.-lf
the Democratic party knows what is good for i;self,
and is gifted with average measure Of foresight.
il will prudenty leave the tariff alone for two or
three years and counsel the free traders 10 bidc
their time.
There is just thing that will give supreme sat.
isfaetion TO every Republican politician who - wait
ing for the regulation Democratic huHdcr, and that
is for the Democratic party to ally itself with the
Missionaries the dOctrinarcs, and the z'alots. who
are clamoring for the overthrow Of the protective
system.
The great majority of the people of this country
still believers in the principles Of protection,
and whether they right or wrong. they will not
be convinced, yet that anything else Is good for
them.
To embark in the frcc-trade boat is not in the
ture of an experiment. An experiment implies risk
or uncertainty To the contrary, there is too much
certainty about 1.-THE certainty Of flying into the
jaws of danger and disaster.
How would Pennsylvania, for instance, respond
to "a Democratic platform in 1881, with tariff for
revenue only its central plank
The answer would come like the breaking up Of
the fountains of the deep and the rc-ult would be
that what progress free trade has gradually made of
late years would be set back for twenty-five years
to come.

best literary papers of the country. Knowing the
men who compile the selected matter and do the
writing for these papers intimately We do, we
are nevertheless weekly astonisled by their con-
tents There are 40 such country papers in any
other land. And this is no tafy, undue praise
from member of the mutual glucose" but a fact
known 10 every writer in the State capable of judg
ing, or who knows single Characteristic of good
paper. Following these brilliant leaders closely,
comes the Clay Centre Dispatch, the Winfield Cour-
ier. and three or four other papers. The former
two will soon be admitted TO the charmed circle.
johnny Gilmore. of the Fredonia Citizen, has the
makeup and the training for paper equaling either
of the foregoing, but lie runs patent paper
without that personal essenee-if the expression
may be alowed-without these gushing traits,
which are but the mirror of the soul of the who
Is behind it, is of more value and is pOweress
as a last years almanac. As to the patent papers
now flooding Kansas, there is as much difference
between one of them and paper edited as either of
the journals mentioned, as there is between living
at home and merely existing Mt a cheap hash house.

CYCLONE ISCIDESTs.-When the storm seen
approaching, Sunday afternoon, there was tire
mendous seampering for caves. Some families, in
going TO their caves, found them already crowded
with the families of neighbors who had none.
There is prospect that labOrers will be in great
demand here, for short time. Nearly every person
who has cave, is talking of having construct
ed immediately.
One man, living in a second story took his fani-
ly into the cellar When he got there the thought
struck him that he had better count them, when, to
his dismay. he found one missing. He ran back up
stairs in the midst of the storm and found the mis-
sing one and by the time he got into the cellar the
blow was over.
We have heard explanation of the cause why
the cyclone stopped after striking the outskirts Of
the town. 1t afraid it would have TO pay Ii
cense. if it exhibited inside the corporation. 1t
heard that Marshal Lang had just been married.
