DAVID RATHBoNE, ESQ, Of Ell

DAVID RATHBoNE, ESQ.,, of Ellis
county, is candidate for the Republican
nomination for Judge of the seventeenth
judicial district. The tier of counties
along this railroad in this district was
undoubtedly for Judge Pratt first. He is
out of the race. Now the question occurs
whether this tier of counties will desire
to support candidate from its own ter
ritory. Signs Indicate that it will. In
this event we do not doubt that Mr..
Rathbone will be the man. He is COM
petent lawyer, a deep thinker, is possessed
ofian even temperament, and would fill the
position with credit. He will probably
carry Trego county without opposition.

is his first. Writing this reminds us of a
joke on the squire A man remarked in
our hearing the other day that the squire
looked pretty old to be having babies.
We asked the observer how old he looked
to be. 90, about sixty" he answered. 1t

that the squire is young man yet-not

ABsOLUTE TRUTH.

The n. Y. SIM delights to refer to ex-
President Hayes as This fraudulency."
The tables can now be turned, because
Mr.. Cleveland fills the presidential chair
without having been honestly elected.
The alleged flaw in Mr.. Hayes case was
that the Louisiana returning board, in
accordance with the law of that state,
rejected the returns from certain parishes
because it was proven that long course
of bloodshed and terrorism had so intim-
idated many thousands of voters that
they did not dare to vote. The sole OBJ
ject of voting is to ascertain who is the
real choice of the people, and in this case,
the objection was a technical one, that
certain law passed to prevent the con-
summation of great wrong, was en-
forced when those to be benefited by the
wrong said it should not have been. It
is well-known fact that in eight or ten
states it is regular practice to make
false returns of the votes cast. Those
states are all Democratic, and all gave
their electoral votes to Cleveland. No
resort to such fraudulent methods If they
did not know it was necessary In order to
perpetuate their power, and, therefore,
things proves that they know these states
would, on fair vote, go against them.
Is not this SO? And If not, why not?-
1fanhaftau Nationalist.
The above is absolute truth. Every
American citizen has the chance to know
this
What we want to know now is whether
the Nationalist, few monts ago, declared
that the liquor question was the only one
of any Importance between the Republican
and Democratic parties
1t has been patent to us that, laying
aside st. Johns ingratitude, Burchard's
hurry to state plain fact and Conkling's
devilish detection, Republican cowardice
defeated the ticket last fall. Blaine
seemed to forget the pathway which had
led to his planned knighthood. He said,
by his acts, that he could be elected by
northern votes, and that the South might
do as it liked. We are not unaware that
some parade was made by the establish
ment of something at Nashville, Tenn,
which was called National Republican
Headquarters; but this bureau, in talking
to Southern people, hardly referred to the
whitening curse of no free ballot and no
fair count. This bureau talked only-as
far, at least, as it attempted the impress
ment of its views-of the necessity of a
new industrial South with the protective
tariff as basis. If this latter question
had been given the second place, with
the question of liberty at the polls in
advance, sense, if not success, would have
been an accompaniment.
It might be that, in the course of ages,
the realization of liberty at the South
could be brought about through healthy
industrial system; but this is doubtful.
But even if this plan had been plausible,
Blaine was not the man whose endorse
ment of such roundabout course was
expected by the people. They looked
upon him as fighter for direct results.
OF course, we endorse this from the
Nationalist:
Mr.. Cleveland is de facto, but not a
de jure president. Had fair vote been
possible he would have been beaten out
of sight.

BANNER, June d
Light rain last night.


Nothing new to report, and should not
have taken up nay gull but to pay my
respects to OK He said Some of the
agricultural correspondence of late has
seemed to us very misleading, IS giving
a view Of the countrys capabilities for
which their Is no warrant" Now, Sir, I
have not seen an article in any western
Kansas paper that the past history of
Kansas agriculture does not warrant. He
goes on to state that sin '78 the settlers
had good crops, '79 was dry year, 80
was another good year." He forgot that
in 80 the cry went East for aid; and as
for his deep blowing, haven't seen it,
and am one that came to Trego county
in '78 And then he says, 81, $50, '83
went from bad to worse, and that in the
latter year there was nothing raised but a
little sorghum fodder; and then he says
those who had adhered to farming gave
up the fight, and sought a more favorable
country, and SO on. Now the facts are:
The gentleman who wrote that article has
more cattle than he cares to close herd, or
he wrote in the interest OF those who have;
and they would be glad to keep settlers
out, or at least off, their range. Now,
Sir, a few straight facts: First, all the
tenderfeet had left long before 'S3, and
very few left in '83, and nearly all who
did leave came back, satisfied to stay,
wet or dry. Now few facts about how
farming is carried on in this neighbor-
hood, with it's results: To raise corn, they
plant by dropping in every third furrow
as they pillow the ground, and when it is
about knee high they go through it with
double shovel or fve-tooth one-horse
cultivator, and it is laid by. Next:
Wheat. They pillow five or ten acres two
inches deep on the cut-and-cover plan,
scatter on a bushel to the acre, harrow
about the first of November. For millet,
they generally SOW it down and harrow it
in on the land where. they had sorghum,
corn, rye or some other crop the year
before. For sorghum, they pillow the
ground two inches deep on the cut-and-
cover plan, SOW broadcast or drill in. In
fact, farming is done just Like it was
being done to hold claim. Yet there
are some notable exceptions; some that
cultivate corn thoroughly, and they never
failed to raise corn, not even in 49, The
facts are: Farming would not pay in this
country without stock if you could order
a rain at your pleasure. It does not
pay any place in the west. I think this
country beats renting East; therefore, [
am ready to show land to home seekers.
