why Not Adhere to Factss

The telegraph informs us that Mrs.
Leavitt, at Temperance meeting in San
Francisco, the other night, INDUCED in
the following ignorant but vigorous out
giving, viz; ''Butler is an owl-eyed
'blacksuard and an enemy of temper
"ance. President Arthur Is very
"heavy drinker. Many a night before
che was nominated for Vice. President
she would sleep the sleep of the drunken
''in low grog-shops in New York. Even
"now, when he complains Of afternoon
"headaches, il is whisky that is the
"trouble."
We really must be permitted to ex-
postulete with Mrs. Leavitt on her
somewhat iuexact utterances. As to
old Ben Butler, he is not ''owl-eyed. /"
He is simply strabismie. The only diff.
Gully about Gov. Butler Is that, when
you think he is looking at you, he is
really looking down street, aud rice
versa, That is TO say, he has O sort of
eat-a.cornered vision We really do not
think that Ben is an enemy TO temper.
anoe, in lis true sense, as has been
shown in his vigorous and well ordered
life. When he was in Los Angeles,
some years ago, though, spite of chrono-
logical records, altered for polit-
ical effect, he must have been
fully seventy-iive years old, his favorite
tippls was champagne After putting a
couple of bottles of this sparkling wine
under his vest, Benjamin could discourse
moro lucid, undiluted wisdom by the
hour than any half dozen Temperance
people put together whom we have ever
encountered in our life.
As to the habits Of President Arthur.
Mrs. Leavitt shows herself to be fright
fully of. Instead Of an afternoon head
ache, Mr.. Arthur's are all matutinal. 1t
is dollars against cents that he drinks
very little whisky straight. President
aIlnut-Diu ohtt luuiltluiS Cfiti
him--was never in a low grog shop in
his life, and never knew what it was to
have an afternoon headache. We know
his habits as though we had roomed
with him for years He begins his din
ner with just soupeon of sherry with
his soup. The precise order in which
he alternates his Bordeaux and Burgundy
wines we cannot pretend to know, for
that is II matter of caprice with bon
ripants. But that he takes good deal
of either one, and perhaps Of both, goes
without saying. His principal devoirs,
however, are rendered, at a late stage
of the meal, to the sparkling wines
of champagne. As to his favorite
brands, whether they bs Roederer,
Mumm, Krug, Perier Jouet, or what
not, we are not advised, but they are
certain to hail from the city in which
Joan OF Arc caused the whilom fugitive
French King to be crowned, or from
some neghboring town of good repute.
After his eopious libations, the President
stays his stomach with cafe noir and
either c1gnae or Kirsch wasser, after
the manner OF all gentlemen who drink,
with perhaps dash Of cordial, which
may be OF many brands, to hold the
whole dispensation to its true work of
evolving wholesome chyme and chyle.
Why not be accurate, Mrs. Leavitt?

Frederick William is universally reputed
to be possessed Of liberal ideas. But,
back OF auy personal prepossessions Of
any one man, bo he Kaiser or peasant,
lies the grand individuality Of the Ger.
manic peoples. which revolts at the
narrow and provincial ideas which seek
to deprive the German race Of a vent for
Is superabundant energies and aspira-
tions.
While On this matter, one can.
not help thinking that, in one
rcspect, at least, the German peo.
pie have retrograded, instead Of hav-
ing advanced, in the last hundred
years. When Frederick the Second
the great Frederick "unser Fritz"
who made Prussia--sat upon the throne,
he was above all petty prosecutions and
restrictions He was not forever en-
gagged In formulating oppressive regula-
tions to hem in his people. Though
probably the most absolute monarch
who ever lived, he was too wise to null
tiply wrath against the day Of wrath.
Instead Of seeking, as did Bismarck.

and was even on friendly terms with,
the Jesuisis, to his frequent advantage
in his deadly grapple with the Empress.
Queen, Maria Theresa, in the wars aris-
ing out Of the Pragmatic Sanction. The
way he managed to be at once Absolutist
and Democrat is told by tho historians.
Riding out near Potsdam, one day, he
came upon a violent proclamation
against himself, posted against con.
venient wall. His orderly, who was
quicker.sighted than himself, was
tearing It down when Frederick
caught its purport and interposed.
"My people and myself" he
said, ''have entered into tacitcompact.
an TO do what please and they are to
say what they please"
How wonderfully minified appear
Wilhelm and Bismarck, with their Falk
laws, which they have been obliged to
swallow, and their little, fnicky, perso.
cutting regulations. as compared with the
great Frederick, who at least believed

oHLoKENs IN KAMsAs.


The editor cot the Indiana Farmer has
been roaming around somewhat in Kan
sas lately, and W lille doing so has ap-
parently been "struck" with an idea that
has many times occurred To the writer
in regard to the chicken business. He
writes e. his paper the following, which
is well worth considering by a good
many people who arc. not making as
much of living rs they perhaps ought
to:
Often and again, AS We looked out
upon the dry. sunny slopes of Kansas
on our recent trip, We remarked: What
a country for raising chickens and tur-
keys. And when we learned of the
large and increasing demand for poultry
and eggs IN the mining regions, and the
high prices that are paid, we resolved
to commend the matter TO those
of our lady readers who are thrown
on their own resources, and are
asking what they can do to make liE-
ing. There is no kind of business, in
our estimation, In which an euterpris-
Ing lady with small capital can succeed
more certainly and rapidly in accumu-
lating an independent support than
chicken raising in southern Kansas
Our reasons are, first, healthfuIGess.
There need be no diseases among fowls
raised on the dry, sloping lands of this
section. The pips, roup, cholera and
other chicken ailments would be prac-
tically unknown with anything like
proper care and attention. Second,
feed. The millets, sorghum, Doura,
wheat, etc cal be grown there, even in
the dryest seasons, and with the insects,
grasshoppers, if they should appear,
and minced snake meat-for there are
some snakes in Kansas-would make
abundance OF the best feed, at mere nonl-
NAL cost, the last named items es-
peclally. Third, market. Eggs rule
here with US, and chickens
sell at from 75c to 81 each at the mines.
When the business of poultry raising is
carried on systematically and poultry
slIiPeiag Il tfaRe-in n wholesale way the \
freight will be so reduced tina: the raiser
will get at least two-thirds of the price
paid at the mines for his produce.
Ia starting in the business it will not
be necessary to buy the land. This can
be rented for a trItle, and no fencing will
be required The principal expense will
be for dwelling house and sheds for pro-
lection at night. 4 northeast slope
should be selected so as to avoid the
force of the southwest winds, which are
very strong at times, and might blow the
chicks so far they could not get back to
the roosting place by night. We heard
it said that the wind blows the feathers
off the chickens, sometimes, but that is
only one of the many Jokes that are in
vogue about the kansas zephyrs" AS
to the probable profits of the business,
we will speak in another number.

GETTING AHEAD IN THE
WORLD.

Topeka Commonwealth: The argu-
ment advanced by gentlemen who do
not put their trust in Kansas, that
while our state is seemingly prosperous
the true cause of tlr:s outside show of
prosperity Is brought about by borrow
ed money, will not hold good. True,
we borrow considerable money, and our
interest account is a large one, but the
fact that the average Kansas citizen is
getting along in the world is no better
eXemplified than In some of our bank
statements. Emporia is not a manu-
featuring MOI commercial center, and
therefore Is an apt illustration of the
agricultural development of the inter
iOr. To be sure, it is the nancy center
of a considerable scope of country. but
the entire bank deposit of surrounding
towns does not exceed an average of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In
looking over statement of the condi-
ton of the Emporia National bank,
made to the comptroller of the currency
June %, we find that there were $780,
232 SO on deposit in that bank on that
day. The capital stock of the bank be-
ing 100000, the surplus $4,000. un-
divided profits 51,Sl6S7, circulation
So, 900, the total footing is $9e9, 04923.
This represents what? Undoubtedly the
accumulations ofthe people of that town
and vicinity. Of course this is the lar
gest desposit carried by any institution
in the state, if we except the Leaven-
depository, but il will not do to argue
that because Senator Plumb Is president
of the Emporra bank his name alone
has put it at the head of the list, be-
cause tksre other banks in that city
which carry very large line of depos-
it's As we said before, this money rep
resents to large degree the actual ac-
cumulations of these people The EN-
poria bank was started by Messrs. Swal-
low, Heritage s. Soden, in 1866, Capt. L.
II. Heritage having sole charge of it for
a number of years, and during all these
years it has doubtless as correctly repre-
scented the financial condition of Empo-
ria as the barometer does the weather. .
AS further proof that the people of the
state are getting on in a financial way
we might refer 80 newer bank in one
of the lately settled counties. But q
few years ago there was not even a town
In the county, while to-day one CT the
three or four banks shows a deposit of
over one hundred thousand dollars. All
this goes TO show that the accumulation
of money goes on as rapidly in our state
as the Development OF its agricultural
resources or the growth of It's towns.

WHRATOVTHE P40TFTe sL0PE

" AEHE ON he HdCI fIC SLOf@ Il
California this year will be the ban.
ner wheat state of the Union, says the
San Francisco Journal of Commerce
Its yield will. almost to certainty, ap,
proach seventy million bushels. This
will sell, taking the whole year through,
at an average of not less than SLIGO pei
GENITAL, or SO cents per bushel. The
average yield will be not less than
twenty bushels to the acre, but it will
reach in places as high as thirty, and
In others as high as seventy bushels to
the acre. Compare this with the aver
age yield of the northern states not
given by statistics at over thirteen bush
els to the acre and 1t will be seen at
once what great advantage California
has oyer other states. Seven bushels to
the acre at 90 cents bushel makes
quite handsome profit for the investor.
And there is no part of ihe state that is
not In easy reach OF navigation or of
tide water; not like the western states,
which, however fertile their lands may
be, have still thousands of miles over
which wheat must be carried before it
gets to port.
We can raise in the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys as muc;l wheat as
was raised in all the United States last
year. If We add Oregon and Washing
ton Territory, we can double the guam
tity. A Thousand million bushels of the
finest wheat In the world can be raised
in these three Pacific Coast countries
that is TO say at low figure, thousand
of dollars for half a million
farmers, and large number of farm
help in addition. In fact, if these broad
acres OF the Pacific were cultivated as
they are in Great Britain. there would
be room for just double the number of
farm proprieIOrs. And this is for wheat
alone, no account being taken for vines,
Truit, barley, oats or grazing.
