A dispatch from Topeka, 70 the Kan
sas City Times, dated the 18th, says (:
''Dr. James Laws, chairman Of the Unit
ed States treasury cattle commission
was here to-day, on his way to Neosho
Falls, where he has been sent by the
treasury department, to make an inves-
tigation Of the afflicted cattle down
there In a short conversation with the
Times representative, he said: Icams
here to visit Neosho Falls and other
points, to make q thorough personal in
vestigation by experiment and other
tests to discover whether the foot and
mouth disease exists here ornot. When
the report Of its presence was first
spread / expressed an opinion on the
statements made to me at Washington
by others, but am row convinced that
all the facts were not stated and all the
truths not told. This has placed me in
the position Of holding the case sub iu-
dice, and 1 shall express no decided Op-
inion until have personally examined
the whole field. The examination of
the limbs sent to Washington, and Of
the hay, fully convinced me that ergot-
ism existed here. The fact remains to
be decided whether the foot and mouth
disease also exists. II it should turn
out that this disease exists at Neosho
Falls or elsewhere in this country, its
presence is accounted for only by the
fact that it has been imported from
some other country"

when they request sample copy of Il g
paper, that they desire certain informa-
ton respecting the city on county, and
can depend on the paper giving it cor
rectly. When strangers glance over the
advertisements displayed, note the ex-
tent of business represented, and read
the limited, or extended, as the case
may be, business locals, they at once
form an opinion respecting the business
enterprise and prosperity OF the town.
The literary work or mechanical skill
sinks into insignificance compared with
the business represented In its columns.
1t matters not how learned the leading
questions of the day are discussed, how
spicy the local news may be given. a
good healthy display of advertisements
will speak more effectively for the inter
ests Of a town than all the editorial skill
that may be advanced. Some parties
say that display 'ad" does not pay the
advertiser. We think it does, but, how
ever that may be, we will say, for sake
of argument, that 1t may not yield di-
rect profit, bat the more extensive the
business transacted in the town. and
represented in the paper, the greater
the attraction to that place of parties
who trade. If your business is kept
constantly before the public, you may
rest assured that it will more than nav
the small cost Of your lad"

evil Of him because Of his views on the
tariff question, real or supposed Take
carel Where Randall stands to-day,
there also stands Samuel J. Tilden, and
Missouri at this hour would go to Til
den with a rush that would have about
it something Of the uprising which at
tends fierce patriotic commissions. Take
care again Randall stands squafeiy on
the Ohio platform, and the Ohio plat
form win be the platform of the nation
al democracy. It is sometimes necessa-
~ to eat CROW, and to eat a good deal of
1t; but as q Missourian we warn our
Missouri brethren against sailing down
nothing else but crow in the smoke
house. If Randall can win, in Gods
name let him be nominated, or any
other man who is an honest, faithful
and capable democrat. The Gaxette's
ticket is:
For president-the man who can win.
For vice president-the man who car

On every hand 1t appears to be conced-
ed that Robert Lincoln will be given
the second place on the republican ma
tional ticket at the Chicago convention.
No one appears to have any particular
reason for this preference, further than
because "he is a son Of his father" It
is not even claimed that he is the equal
OF any leading republican politician, or
that he is particularly bright in any res
pect but the idea is that he would
command votes for the ticket, and that
is what is needed badly this year. OF
course his boom does not meet with ia
vor from Logan's friends, both being
from the same state but all the other
candidates are for Lincoln.
Should Lincoln be elected vice presi-
dent it would be misfortune to the
country, and would go a long way to-
wards destroying that public confidence
we read so much about. He might be
called on to fill the executive chair, and
there are few who would not trembI
In fear Of the result. He is, or the pub
lie has that impression, below the medi-
OGRE in nearly every respect without
the natural ability Of Mr.. Arthur. with
no experience in public affairs, like An
drew johnson, Willard Fillmore, or
John Tyler had, he could not give salts
faction in case he should be called on to
I'LL the executive chair. We hope no
accident will ever occur making it nee
essary for the vice president to gil the
place of the chief executive but acct
dents have occurred. There are other
Guiteaus, and these might decide to
remove" our president.
We think that each party, in selecting
its candidate, should consider this mat
ter {; shOald think over the uncertainty
OF life in general, and Of the life pres
ident must lead in particular. Lincoln
Is not big enough man for the posi-
ton. English won't do for the demo-
Gratis /; he is too small-he has no soul.
and his mind is contracted. Lincoln
would not even do as the governor of
small state, let alone a whole nation.
His name may sound well awhile, but
thinking people well know that they
are not particularly honoring the father
by honoring the son.
Think up some better man the DEM
ocrats will put up one in every way wor-
thy, and then no matter who is elected
OF what accident may occur to the chief,
we will have vice president competent
TO manage the affairs Of the country.

From the edition of Messrs. George
p. Rowell Il Co. 5 American Newspaper
Directory, now in press, it appears that
the newspapers and periodicals of all
kinds at present issued in the United
States and Canada reach a grand total
of ID 400. This is net gain of precisely
LOCO during the last twelve months, and
exhibits an increase of 5,61s over the to-
tai number published just ten years
since. The increase Of 1874 over the to-
tai of 1873 was 493. During the past
year the dailies have increased from H.
1873 to ! ,25i; the weeklies from 9,O62 to
lO,02S and the monthlies from l ,O9l TO
l,499. The greatest increase is i'm the
western states. Illinois, for Instance,
now shows 1909 papers in place Of last
years total Of 9O4, while Missouri issues
6Ol instead OF 523 reported in 1888.
Other leading western states also ex-
hibit a great percentage Of increase.
The total number Of papers in New
York state is ,52S, against 800 in 1883.
Canada has shared in the general in
crease.

There is every indication of an inves-
tigation being made into questionable
transaction that occurred at Larned not
long since, and in which the United
States land Office, or at least the receiy-
er, will figure. The Fl. Larned reserva-
ton was abandoned as q military post,
and ordered sold by the government.
The tract embraced about $40 acres,
part Of 1t good land, aud on the tract
were buildings worth at least $4,000.
The entire lot was appraised ut 81 900,
though worth ten times as much, 1t is
said.
The sale occurred in March. Several
bids were made, and finally the proper
ty was knocked down to a stockman for
Sll, 05e, dirt cheap. This party had
made arrangements with a bank in
town to cash his draft for the purchase
money, In case he should buy but here
came in the conspiracy to defraud the
government.
A ring Of three or four citizens, the
receiver Of the land Office included, it is
said, went to the bank officials and
threatened to make run on the bank
IL 1t cashed the drafts Of the stOckman,
and so the bank refused. The purchas-
er had no other way to get his money.
and this was the condition the ring de-
sired to have him in. The ringsters
then went to him and offered him 81 200
IL he would withdraw from the contest.
He saw that he might as well do it, SO
he accepted the offer.
The receiver then declared the first
sale of, and the property was again Of
fered for sale, and the ring purchased il
for $4,000. All of the opposing bidders
in the first sale had been silenced, and
their way was clear.
W. II. Champ, proprietor of the Cher
ryvale ranch was the first purchaser,
and now he has made all the facts pub
lie. The Larned Optic published part
of the facts, but Champ now says the
ring has silenced that organ. Let the
investigation proceed.

The Kansas City Times says the won
derful growth of Kansas is indebted
more to her newspapers than any other
factor or agency. They have been phe-
nomenally spirited and progressive, and
there are few, IL any, states in the
Union that have had a more vigorous
and talented country press. They have
made Kansas boom and bloom, and the
towns now, that they have been built by
them, should give that support which
most kansas towns can give their local
journals 1t is the duty Of every man
70 inst support his home paper, (unless
its moral tone is bad) and then sub.
scribe for foreign literature and news.
The Neosho Falls Post truthfuIly
says: 1T Ia fact that cannot truth
fully be denied, that the newspaper Is
largely the index Of the prosperity or
decline Of the town. Persons from
abroad contemplating emigratinQ. who
desire information respecting q town,

pens published In the locality. We re-

The prohibition national convention.
announced to be held at Pittsburg on
the 2lst Of May, has been postponed un-
til after the republican convention is
held in Chicago. This was done to
await the action of the latter conyen-
ton on the prohibition question. If the
republicans do not put a prohibition
plank in their national platform, and do
not nominate candidates acceptable to
the prohibitionists, the superstition is
that the Pittsburg convention will get
up presidential ticket of its own. And
IL 1t does, won't there be fun for the
democrats
st. John and his immediate followers
In Kansas have heretofore given it out
thatthey are republicans FIRST, and pro-
hibitionists afterwards: but their course
heretofore has given lie to their asser-
lions. Knowing full well that his nomi-
nation would create a rupture in his
party two years ago, st. John still de-
manded and received the nomination.
and the rupture followed.
Now he wants to go TO the Chicago
convention and demand recognition for
his prohibition doctrines, and if his
wishes are not complied with, he will
move on to Pittsburg and there obtain
the comfort he so much longs for.
All this is favorable to the democrat
ic party. If the Chicago convention
touches the prohibition question in any
shape 1t is lost; and if it does not touch
it, it will lose votes.
We have an idea that it will put a
prohibition plank in the platform adop-
ted at Chicago. If it does Ohio will GER
tainly go democratic New York will
no longer be in doubt; and Kansas will
more than likely elect one or two demo-
cratic congressman and perhaps state
ticket.
So we say success to St. John in his
two-fold capacity success to the pro-
hibitionists at Chicago, and finally sue
cess to the democratic ticket to be nom.

Atlanta Constitution We are firm
In the conviction that Mr.. Tilden can
organize victory for the democratic par
ty, rescue the country from the grasp of
rings and jObbers, wipe out all sectional
prejudices, obliterate all signs Of the
war, and establish a new and benefi-
cient order of things. From our point
Of view, the election Of a democratic
president is, above all things political,
the most important event. In the wake
Of such an event follows all things that
democrats desire. Without 1t, little or
nothing is possible. We are for Mr..
Tilden, because we believe he can make
this a certainty-because we believe
that under any other leadership this is
doubtful. 1t is for this reason that the
people turn to Mr.. TildeD with almost
one voice. 1t is for this reason that
they still hope he will consent to serve
bis party and save his country.

Neosho Falls Post: DIR. Hopkins.
veterinary surgeon Of Wyoming, who
was sent here TO investigate the foot
and mouth disease, in the interests Of
the cattlemen Of his territory, says en-
phatically, that no foot and mouth dis
ease, known as aptha, exists here. He
stated that the citizens Of Wyoming had
invested over one million Of dollars in
Kansas cattle and that he was sent here
10 ascertain II the reported disease was
really contagious, and II %, the pur-
chased cattle would not be moved into
Wyoming. After several days Of the
most thorough examination, he says
that he is convinced that the disease is
not what 1t was supposed TO be at first,
and he would recommend that the cat
tie be moved. This should settle the
matter. A million dollars at stake and
this decision should satisfy the most
skeptical.
