After a prolonged silence, ven-
ture a few remarks in regard to our
Western home. The Spring was un.
usually cold and wet. Yet many
farmers commenced planting corn the
fore part Of April, but it did not
make very rapid growth for some
time after it came up. During the
fore part Of May we were visited with
one or two slight frosts, so slight as
not to damage the most tender vege-
tables. read with sorrow an &C.
count of the heavy frost back there

damage. And it brought TO mind the

when on the farm in Forest Co., fear.

tender vegetation in Spring, and
again in the fall have witnessed the
destruction of our corn and buck.

maturity. And / said I'd rather be
a Kansan where no blighting frosts
bring sorrow and Encouragement to
the farmer.
The peach crop here will be almost

last winter, but Strawberries, black.
berries, raspberries, plums and cher.
ries are very plenty. There are COM
paritively few apples trees in this part
of the State old enough to bear, but
wherever one is found of sufficient
age to produce fruit it is loaded with
apples. A vast amount of fruit trees
are being shipped in here from Nur-
series in various parts of the State
every Spring and Fall, so that
M'Pherson Co. promises to equal any
of the older couAties in the produc.

ual settler, the cattle interests finding
themselves in undisputed possession,
were not slow to take advantage Of q
system which bequeathed the country
10 them without money and without
price.
There is no evadlng the fact that the
lease law at present exists only in a
name. Leasing as an important factor
In the disposition Of the school lands
ceased three months ago. Fear Of the
settler alone stimulated the apparent
activity OF leases in January, and no
revival of the system can be antici-
psted until the hold Of the pasture in
terests upon the West is again threat
ened, against which its very existence
provides The inadequacy Of the law
to compel the leasing of the lands has
already been sufficiently evidenced.
II must be apparent to its most arden
adherents that the lease is failure as
method of producing revenue.
IT'S only practical results are in
furnishing the pasture interests
with the means OF protection
against the Entertainments OF
actual settlers, and even then to be
utilized without any material compen-
sation for the vast injury done to the
state in other directions.
AS matter of policy the leasing
system, as tested by its own champions
has proven itself inexpedient, unsatis
factory, AND non-proiuctive even o
those results for which it was osten
sibly ordained.
Asa principle it is inactive and In
efficient, tending to subvert the very
aims which its advocates claim to b,
seeking TO promote.

Malicious Meann esq,

The ill.concealed delight Of the Dali
las papers at what they try to distort
into an evidence Of financial embai-
Iassment on the part Of Fort Worth is
worthy of that city and its antece-
dents. Because committee Of the
Fort Worth city council arbitrarily
made contract which assumed to
bind the city for the payment of
"forfeltn Tor INTEREST," equal to per
cent per month for deferred payments,
the Herald endeavors to create the be-
lief that Fort Worth Is unable to meet
It's financial obligations. We do not,
indeed, suppose that any direct injury
will result to Fort Worth from the
Herald's bungling falsehoOds, as the
limited circulation OF that paper Is a
guarantee against the Islander acquir-
ing any publicity; but the article
might be copied by some thoughtless
country exchange, and thus be brought
to the notice Of people who do not
know better
