CaIkins From a Chinese Standpoint.
Chicago Times


Mr.. Calkins. of Indiana, finds number of
objections to John Chinaman; but the prin-
cipal objections, he says, are these. "He
takes no interest in our politics, refuses the
offers of Christianity, brings his idols with
him, institutes in our midst n court of
ldolatTy, and refuses to assent in any manner
TO the teaching of our missionaries" In
fewer words, the Chinaman is an incorrigi-
bic PECAN.
But this is view on the Chinsman from
Mr.. Ca,kins' standpoint. There is a pill
mentsry view of Mr.. Calkins from the Chi
1aman's standpoint, and to render the pic
ture complete the two must be seen to-
gether.
The professional politician of that country
is an idiotic pagan-so reports the Chinaman
upon his return TO the Celestial kingdom.
find the proof OF it in a speech made by n
candidate for Governor of the Province of
Indiana, who told his hearers that there was
divinity somewhere in that country called
the party" which does everything that
comes to pass-which had saved the land
from ruin, destroyed its enemies, built its
railways, given it bountiful harvests, i'm
proved the morals and appetites of its in
habitants, paid its debts, increased its
wealth, filled the public treasury, and so
on. New we, the Celestials. know very
we'll that even our own superior gods
could not perform such miracles and
we know better than to pretend that they
could, because Cinnamon have sense and
understanding enough to perceive the very
obvious relations between those effects and
their simple causes in the natural conditions
and laws OF things. Bat the Americans are
so ignorant and so sunk in the darkness of
superstition that majority of those who
heard. open-mouthed, the speech OF the
illustrious Indiana politician, actually be-
lieved the nonsensical paganism that he
preached to them. Miserable heathensl they
will not even listen when Cinnamon tell
them of the superiority of our Celestial pan
theism over their ridiculous party fetichism I!

the Coming Contest.
Washington Special.
very enthusiastic Democrat is ex.Sena-
tor Stockton, of New Jersey, who is in town
consulting with political friends. He said
to-day, in an interview: There is a most
extensive disatfectiOn in the Republican
ranks. The independent voters COM
ing to the Democrats will be large.
aud that will be nothing compared with
the acquisitions from the Republican
ranks proper. The element of silent voters
is the most important in the coming contest.
There are thousands upon thousands of Re-
publicans who will refuse TO support Blaine
and who will cast their votes for Cleveland.
They say nothing and will never be heard
from, except through their votes. They are
men who do not take any active part in pol
itics, and they say nothing because they do
not want to draw fire upon themselves.
This will be felt, and deeply felt, in the COM
ing struggle"

everything is in an excellent condition there
now. There is no trouble in the party what
ever; we Will carry the State by good ma

There is no foundation for such claim"
replied the ex-senator. I'm the first place,
tory to the manufacturers throughout the
State, and secondly, the tariff will be en-
tireIy lost sight of in the contem plating of
more important and pressing matters. The
Republican party has put up representa-
tive man, and we have chosen one to repre-
sent high principles. The fight will be one
of principle. 1t will be victory OF the
high principles of party. / do not speak
against Blaine personally. l leave that sort
of business to those who delight in personal
vituperstion. l speak OF the party. The
Republican administration has been, from
the start, the worst and most corrupt in the
world, and has grown worse every year.

Elkins, Blaine, as / have said, represents
the party. In this selection they are
honest for once. The nomination OF Cleve-

new element of young men, who add new
issues to the old ones and he will COM

How Late to Sow Peas.

As a custom, peas are never seen on the
table in the fall. In the Northern States
they may be put in as late Is the first OF
September with comparative safety, and in
the South still later; and, provided the sea
son is not too dry, they will return a good
yield. Peas prefer a cool atmosphere, not
too cold, however, but they also like a warm
foil. The hot, dry, psrching droughts do
them great injury when the vines are young,
but when they are high enough to shade the
soil they act as g partial mulch to them
selves, and thereby keep the proper tempera-
ture for maturing the crop. Peas are easily
grown. and we advise late crop.

Powell CIayton,s Career.
Topeka Kan. } Special

Topeka (Kan.) Special
One of Blaine's prominent champions is
Powell Clayton. of Arkansas. A number of
the early settlers OF Kansas have good reason
to remember this gentleman. Early in the
Dos Clayton settled in Platte county, Mis-
souri,. These were the days when the terri
tory of Kansas was in its infancy, and the
eye of the nation was upon il. The all-ab
sorbing question was, shall Kansas be free
or slave~ Hordes of ruffians were inn
ported from Missouri, and, while the
Territory had but 900 legal voters
st every election between 5000 and
1900 votes were cast. These illegal votes
were under the direct command of David
X, Atchison, United States Senator of Mis-
souri, st that time. General Clayton was an
active leader of the border rufians. He or
ganized the celebrated secret society of pro-
slavery men known as the blue
Lodge" and was said to De the
lieutenant of Atchison in the force
OF 5000 men which on May p, 1856,
SACKED THE TOWN OF LAWRENCE
and killed in cold blood a score Of the IN
armed free State men. In this outrage the
Free State Hotel and the printing Offices of
The Herald of Freedom and The Kansas
Free State were destroyed. He assisted in
the second sacking of Lawrence when
women and children alike were sacrificed,
and those who were permitted to li\ e were
left homeless.
At the outbreak OF the war General Clay
ton took up arms in defense of the Union,
and, to give the Devil his due" it must be
said that he was brave and daring officer.
By the men in bis command he was
hated, being tyrannical and despotic At
the close of the war he removed to Arkansas
and entered politics as Democratic poll
tician. In 1867 he joined the Republicans.
In 1868 he, in company with Logan II.
Roots, Alex Mcdonald, and Stephen w.
Dorsey, obtained control OF the negro Legs
lature and bonded the State of Arkansas for
s., 000, 600, when its assessed valuation was
but 81, 100000. The bonds were issued to
railroad and other schemes and sold at great
discount, and afterward repudiated By the
State, which had nothing to show for them
and their payment being impossible. Clay
ton, Mcdonald and Dorsey managed to get
into the United States Senate, and Root:
succeeded IN being elected 10 the lower
House of Congress. Since that time their
history is well known.
Various statements have been made with
regard to Clayton's empty sleeve. 1t wa;

was lost in battle during the war. This is

Turnips for the Table.

Turnips are now being enjoyed by some
but the tenderest are those that are collected
while the tops are bright and green. Al
though this crop keeps well there is still
time fer a late sowing for small ones. AS we
mentioned in our last issue. a sowing of tur-
hips should be made for winter green's, they
answering all the purposes of kale. While
the ruta bagas are preferred by many, the
fiat, white turnip is really the best for the
table, but has tendency to become woody
sooner than the ruta bagss, and hence a late

Measuring Standing Grain.

An officer in the English navy has con-
structed q table for estimating. with all need
fdl accuracy, the amount of wheat on an
acre of land. before it is harvested The esti-
mate can be made as soon as the grain is
Iipe. Make wood or iron frame one yard
square, carefully let il down over the stand
ing grain, and then she'll and weigh all the
grain on the straws belonging inside that
frame, If a circular ''crop form" as he calls
II, Is more convenient make it six feet nIne
and quarter inches in diameter, of half
inch iron. From this elaborate table, we ex-
tract the following:

Spinach for Autumn Use.

Spinach is a hardy plant and answers well
for winter use. Ire autumn crop may be
sown now, and that intended for winter
may be sOwn next month. The seeds may
be sown IN drills or broadcast. As the grass
makes quick headway, especially after the
rains, the better plan Is to SOW the seeds in
lows and keep clean with the hoe. The fact
that cabbage is plentiful in the fall should
not deter gardeners from putting i n spinach
also. 1t is the variety that makes the garden
crops Injuries, and anything that can be
added to the fall crops should be accepted
and made part of the general rotation.

The water is heated enough to take the chill
off and two or three bushels of bran are
stirred in. The cover is laid aside, and the
cows are turned out and allowed to drink of
the mixture all they want. 1t would be still
more convenient to have the trough in win
ter where the cows could get to it without
going outdoors. If one hasn't boiler to
furnish steams a little steam heater won't
cost much and will do the work to perfec.

Cabbage for Winter.

Late cabbage may head If transplanted
now, but much depends upon the season
In the South if set out now they will head
by November, and may be stored for winter
use with the roots in the ground and the
heads covered with straw and brush. Cab
bage must be worked now as often as posi-.
bic, especially if put out late. A slight
sprinkling of gusnO around the hills shows
wonderful effect on them. The disease
known among them as club-foot is due to
growing them successfully several years on
the same location. A change to new ground
always does best for this crop.
