TO the SPOILERS THE VICTORY.


Six members of the Sedgwick county
Democratic Central comm ittee got together
day before yesterday and chose Frank
Smith for postmaster at Wichita. They did
for fact, and then endorsed II. G. Toler
for United States marshal, Frank Dale for
register United States land Office and A. w.
SNYDER, one of the committee, for postmaster
at Cheney. II seems so awfully funny, but
we can't say that we are doing any kicking.
We wonder If that is the way the thing is TO
done all around, and what voice or interest
the fellows up ut Payne and out at Cheney
have in the Wichita postOfice! And then
what kind of mn IDEA must Judge Amos
Harris have, after forty years pulling in the
harness, or Gov. Glenn, after another half
century's work. ofsuch summary proceedings
But the Democracy, you know, are all OPP
posed to rings. There can be no ring bust
ness in all that. OF course not. We
wouldn't dare laugh but it pretty nearly
bursts us to hold in. With all the solemnity
of an invite to the mourner's bench the

feeely reaches the meat of the joke. Those
who have been predicting for Mr.. Cleveland
such perplexing environments will now CON-
prehend what real craftsmanship can ac-
complish and how trifing after all is the
postoftice problem. Governor A. A. Glenn,
Judge Amos Harris sndthe rest of the noble
train of disappointeds are hereby cordially
invited to come up and with us shed a teal
or two, or perhaps three, over the blasted
ambitions-of the other fellows-snd help US
to embrace the opportunity to resolve upon

There arrived in this city yesterday col
ored man in whom our readers will feel an
interest before we have done with this say.
He made us call because Texas editor

man. The gentleman's name Is A. A. Whit

tracing no inconsiderablc attention from
literary men and friends of the African race.
That it il strong work, containing great
truths embodied in the language of emotion,
passion and philosophy, there seems little
doubt. A simple definition of mammon we

the condition of the colored man in the

ing succeeded by the day Of suppression
and that the second exodus will be more in

nent unless miraculous changes occur in

THE leo PLANT.

The State Department has just pub.
lished reports from a number of United
States Consuls on the cultivation and
manufacture of licorice, from which it
appears that the plant can be grown in
California, Texas and most of the South.
ern States. The warmer parts of Europe
and Asia Minor now supply US almost
entirely with ~licorice. Frost, it seems,
does not seriously harm the plant, which
is said to be very hardy, but a long, cold
or dry Winter is too much for its endur.
ance, and the root will not grow on hills
where the snow falls.
The fact that the import into this
country of the root alone in 1884
amounted to nearly forty million pounds,
valued at eight hundred thousand dol
lars, should stimulate planters in the
Southern States to experiment upon its
cultivation. 1t can be planted in marshy
grounds, on the banks of rivers and other
places not suitable for grain crops.
While the limits within which the plant
would thrive in the United States are
large, it is not likely that the best could
be produced, except near the Gulf and
South Atlantic coasts, California and the
Far Southwest.

THURSDAY. ...... OCTOBER 8, 1885
Is TT ?

The Hartford Times, which always
keeps its weather eye open, sees in the
green turtles that have recently been
caught in considerable numbers on the
coasts of Southern New England a sign
that the Gulf Stream is changing its
course. The usual habitat of these ami.
mails is the Gull of Mexico, and they are
often caught on the coast of Cuba and
on the shores Of the Spanish Main. Even
there such huge animals are rarely found
as have recently been landed on the New
England shores. Not long ago one was
brought into New London that measured
five by seven feet, and weighed e half
a ton. Another big one was captured
still more recently zeal Watch Hill,
Conn.,, and taken to S~tonington.
1t has been said, in explanation Of this
phenomenon. that the long, hot Summer
has brought them so far north, entirely
out OF their usual range. But there
hasn't been any long, hot Summer this
year-that is, no longer or hotter than
usual; so that explanation will not do.
As the turtles live in the water, it is
natural to conclude that the ocean is
warmer this year than usual-a fact that
is confirmed by the experience of bathers
all along the Atlantic coast-and since
the sun has not warmed it more than
usual, the most probable cause of the in
creased ocean heat seems to be a slight
northward detection in the course of the
Gulf Stream. "This," says the Times,
"would be a welcome piece of news, if,
first, the change could be ascertained to
be o permanent one, and if (secondl, be.
ing permanent, it could be expected to
affect materially our too.severe Winters;
but, unluckily for any hope OF that
nature, the prevalent winds of our Win
ters are in directions which cause the
thermal influences of the Gulf Stream tc
be forced back all the time. The north
and northwest winds prevent any such
amelioration of the American Winter as
would be affected by the stream, with
surrounding belt of sea, we're on the
north and northwest of this region. in
stead Of at the south and southwest"
If the Gulf Stream has really conn
nearer to the Northern States along tn.
Atlantic coast, its influence will be apt t.
ameliorate their Winters considerably
in spite of the north and northwes'
winds. Some of their worst storms-ir
fact their very worst, come from the
east. and if the chill is at all taken OF
the east wind of Winter, the people Their,
shall have reason to be thankful.
