Locked Up in the Treasury.

Referring to the republicad boast that
when the republican party came into
power is found an empty treasury; but
that it now has an excess of 500, ,OOO.-
600, Governor Hendricks said TO large
audience at Toledo, Ohio:
Have you stopped to think how much
that is? 1t is more than half the paper
currency of the United States, and
when it comes to he $500, 0,O00, 900, as it
will be at the close Of the year and be-
fore congress can act, if the population
of the country is correctly estimated at
$4,000, 900, there will be locked up in
the treasury ten dollars for every man,
woman and child in the country. Have
you stopped to think that that money
which 10 now locked up is part of our
currency that 1t has an Office to per-
form, and that if the government does
not need il the people do? Whatever
government doesn't need belongs to the
people. Just stop to think how much
that S4O0, ,O00, 600 or $500, 900 900 would
do for you and yours. / don't know

Another Experiment.

The Indian schOul at Lawrence, now
known us the Haskell Institute. was
opened lsst Sunday. The l35 Indian
children We're washed ,combed, fed. and
assembled in the chapel in the presence
of number of chiefs who came up
from the Indian Territory. The school
has made fine start, and will do, for
the time, a good work. The little In
-dians will be taught all that white chill
dren are taught; and will sing hymns,
in time, not as well as white children,
for an Indian has no natural ear or
taste for music, but we'll enough. AS
far as the ordinary routine work is con-
cerned there will be neiffy az much
done as in the any school. The only
difference will be in results. The same
number of white children would leave
the school fitted for the avocations, ,du-
ties and pleasures Of civilized life.
these Indians will leaye united for any
life. They will go back to their tribes
to be- rldiculed by their savage and
worthless relatives, for their acquired
ways. The girls taught to cook land
eat the white mans food will be taeat-
ed to boiled dogs and buffalo entrails, in
the dirty, smoky lodges where their
verminous kindred congregate. The
boys taught to work at various handi-
crafts, will be jeered by the red loafers
who lounge in the sun, or hang around
the traders store, and will forsake
the habits of industry which pfilan-
thropy has thrust upon them. The
Catholic church has mastered all that
has been discovered Of the teaching OF
savages, and yet has never achieved
certain or stable success with the NORTH
American Indian. Untamable by ma
ture; proud as Lucifer before his fall
child of the wilderness; it is his fate t
pine if taken from it; to return to its
wilderness when he may, and perish
in its Standardization Champion.

CaldwellJeurn A trail man clos
ed out his herd near Caldwell one day
last week and received the pay for it in
currency. The town being full of
strangers he decided to set up and close
herd that IA, 900 odd dollars over night
in his room. He herded it, but the
next morning he declared that he would
rather. herd thousand cattle over
night in rain storm than their value
in greenbacks in Caldwell hotel.
The fair association has leased its
park and buildings to General Hatch for
winter, for barracks for his command.
They. take possession OF it some time
this month and hold il until June next.
1t will be one of the most comfortable
camps on the frontier and the boys will
greatly appreciate it. Our farmer friends
will find a ready market for a Ian ge
part of their surplus at this point this
winter, by reason of the troops being
stationed here. Caldwell is not dead
yet, by any means, and as a place of
general distribution of supplies for the
lower country is ahead of all the other
border towns combined. This fact is
fully appreciated by the U. S. Depart
ment Commander and hence the To-
cation of their headquarters at this
point.
John 4. Blair finished branding his
crop Vi calves week before last and re-
ports about eighty-fiye per cent of in
crease for the year. This is much bet
ter than expected by Mr.. Blair, and is,
we opine, a little better showing than
many of his neighbors can produce.
Eighty-five per cent is big increase
for this latitude on range cattle. There
must be some money still in she stock
on our range, if IS calves can be
raised from 100 cows each year.
CHASING cows at $50 OF $1,000 for 100
of them, producing gross value in calves
Of 81, 10000 a year, 1t certainly appears
to be pretty fair rate OF interest to re-
ceiye on the investment. Ofcourse the
cost of keeping, $50, and interest on
the money invested, $500, to come out
Of this, and yet there will be 81, 100 left,
or about 35 per cent on the investment.

interviewed by the Kansas City Times.
with the following effect:
The fragrant injustice of the associ-
ated press in discriminating against
the democratic party is becoming more
apparent as the Campaign progresses.
The associated press agents have not
only ignored Cleveland demonstrations
In the east and sent out misleading re-
ports from Ohio, but have systemati-
cally disregarded democratic news in
Kansas. The treatment of the grand
democratic rally at Atchison on Mon
day night was the most glaring in
stance of this perversity. This meet
ing was perhaps the largest ever held in
Kansas, and greatly eclipsed similar
republican gathering held short time
previous. Knowing this sent a per-
sonal. request to the associated press
agent at Atchison to give us a good re-
port. Scarcely a dozen lines appeared
the next morning while a third of a
column was devoted to a republican
meeting at Russell, Kansas, addressed
by some obscure person whom nobody
had ever heard. Gov. Click, who was
to have addressed the A:chison meet
ing, was absent owing to an engage
ment in another part Of the state.
His speech at that place was not even
mentioned. The Times had good re-
ports OF both meetings, but they were
only obtained through special cores
pondents.

try, says the changes which have taken
place in that section of the state are
simply wonderful, not only in the set

character of the settlers. Mr.. Mead
for number of years held cattle in
Barber and adjoining counties, and can
fully appreciate the progress made.
The city of Medicine Lodge is growing
very rapidly and substantially. 1t is a
solid town with new brick hotel be-
ing erected nearly as large as the Occi-
dental Of this city. lie says the crops
are splendid, and that from the Cow
skin on the west and southwest it
seems that the rainfall has been more
abundant than in this immediate val
ley. There is strip of country several
miles wide southwest of Kingman

has noticed in this vicifiity. lie talked

The Horseshoer tells how to fit shoe
to the foot Of horse in these words:
Meyer cut the heel unless it grows
faster than the toe. Keep the toe short;
IL the heel is cut too short, it is like a
man walking up hill. Keep the heel
high so the leg can exercise its natural
functions and not strain the cords.
More horses are ruined by cutting ithe
heel than any other way; and besides
straining cords the heel gets bruised
and forms corns. A horse never gets
corns nor has strained cords that has a
good high heel" Another writer in the
same periodical says: have no trouble
with interfering" horses; when once
understand their ways. make most of
my shoes for interfering high on the in
side-not high on the heel alone as
some do, but right up to the nail. With
me it is no cure no pay.

A very successful exhibition of a
steam corn-husking machine was made
tn New York City few days ago The
unhusked corn is fed to the rollers by
hand, passing through two troughs COW
cred with zinc. When the corn reaches
the rollers it Is Immediately stripped,
fiat brass springs keeping it in position
until the stripping is accomplished.
The rollers are so constructed, with
spring on each side, as to give ample
room for husks or punches of husks to
pass through easily, end also, on each
side Of the rollers are combs to clean
their teeth and so prevent clogging.
Wooden carriers are attached to the
machine, which carries the corn to the
crib or wagon and the husks In anoth-
er direction. The inventor OF the ma
chine claims that it will strip l25 bush
els Of corn an hour, while the average
quantity stripped by hand is only thirty
bushels.

of his visit to one of the western 'front.'
Ter forts. When the general arrived
there was large crowd Of Indians on
hand to see the big chief of the whites,
as they called him. After they had
hooked him over to their hearts con-
tsnt, one of them approached him and
said: ugh, big Indian heap want
present of cannon" Gen. Sherman
glanced at the brave and replied: "I
cannot give you cannon. What do you
want them forp You mean to use
them against my soldiers" Now an
Indian is not often guilty of anything
approaching wit, but this one did very
well, for he said as he shook his head ;
mo want catinon to kill soldiers. Can
kill soldiers with a stick. Want can.
non to kill cowboy" The reply was a
good one, but Mf. Indian did not pe,

Cattlemen cannot but notice the clear
line Of denarcation which is being
drawn at this time in the fat stock
markets between high-class and low
grade cattle. Cattle sell well IL Of de-
sirable quality, and on 10 other condi-
ton. Liberal runs in the west are
bringing out this point still more
strongly, and show Enthusiastically the
conditions on which the profits of cat
tie feedingin the near future must rest.
If there is any one thing in the live
stock business at this time more fixed
and substantial than anything else, it is
the position held by choice beef cattle.
And as we see it there is nothing in the
outlook presaging permanently unfa-
yOrable turn in this stock.
