SMILING, SUNNY KANSAS.

Chicago Journal
The rapid development of Kansas
has been the wonder of the whole ma
ton. She became a state twenty-three
years ago, after having passed through
introduction of slavery that is on rec
ord. Kansas is a slice from the juici-
est side of the earth. A few
years ago it WIS nameless wilder
ness, reeking with dishonor and
robed with disrepute. To-day it is
the garden of the world, redolent with
the fragrance of the orchard and vint-
age, teeming with the homes of thrifty
people, pulsing with the vim and vigor
of progress, and mellow with the
bloom of the almost perennial harvest.
In &c, while the nation was celebrat-
ing its centennial, she sent TO its exhi-
bitlon the most magnificent collection
of fruits, vegetables and grain ever
made by an agricultural people.
Last year Kansas sent to store
house a golden stream of grain, filed
hundreds of their empty trains with
the choicest of herds and flocks, and
standing on the threshold of another
years bounty sends greeting and well
come to half million of their souls
who would try their fortunes on her
unbroken prairies.
What Kansas will be fifty years
hence is beyond the comprehension of
the people to-day.
Southern Kansas is land of fruit
and flowers. There are orchards of
fruit everywhere; every farm has its
peach orchard of five, ten, fifteen or
twenty acres: they are perfectly
heaIthful; know not the blight that
comes TO the famous orchards of Mich
igan and Maryland, and grow fruit
that would delight the senses of con-
noisseur. Apples are doing well;
pears are fine; The apricot, almond
and nectarine flourish the grape
is as much at home as on the
Pacific slope. never saw
a country where fruits came sooner
Into bearing or any more easily grown
than here. Flowers are as universal
as reaching savannahs. The southern
prsirie.is the great Gods conservato-
nv and blossoms into beauty from
April 10 the golden October days. The
wayfarer passed with delighted senses
over leagues of bloom, and breathed
an atmosphere rs balmy and sweet
with odors as the Garden of the
Gods"

POLITICAL cowARps.

That Democratic House needs u
proroguing or dissolving. A vast
amount Of important and necessary
legislation is laying in that body which
there is no hope Of reaching simply
because of the political cowardice of
the party majority whose party is to
come into power two months hence.
They are afraid to touch anything
which has national bearing for fear
it might initiate against the Demo-
cratic party, SO refuse TO allow any
thing of Importance to be raised out
OF the regular order. The result will
be that the national railway bill, the
bankruptcy bill aud other bills will die
on the calendar together with a hun
dred or so other important measures
which have long since passed the SEN
ate. From the reports of papers about
all the Democratic members of the
house think or talk about is the offices
to be parcelled out by Cleveland.

THE MEAT QUESTION AGAIN.

Prof. Shelton, of the Agricultural
college, takes up the meat question in
the columns of the Industrialist, az
follows:
"The Champion is glad TO notice that
other papers are taking up the discus
sion of the subject, and it trusts that
the agitation will go on until bread
and meat are dealt out at living
figures"
The above is taken from the Atchi-
son Champion, which, in the same
article quotes as follows from the
Wichita EAGLE, in support of its pos
ition Regarding the high price of meat:
At present, Jeef cattle in this mar
ket brings 3 cents per pound on hoof
Now, il is estimated, that a good fat
steer will dress two-thirds of his live
weight. Take steer whose gross
weight is 1900 pounds, at the above
rates would dress 1,200-weIl, cut it
down to 1000. The price of the beef
here viii average 10 cents all around.
Now. a steer 1900 pounds gross, at 3
cents, amounts to S45, and, according
to the figuring, the meat will bring
500, which any one must admit is an
enormous profit
The enormous disparity between
the price of wheat and -four strikes
everyone, but particularly the labor
ing man, SIS the Champion intimates.
Jast think of wheat selling at three
fourths of a cent per pound and -four
at three cents, as is the case III this
market We doubt. however, wbetb-
er a strong case can be made against
the butchers, especially the country
butchers. We have seen scores of rich
millers IN Kansas, but have never
known rich butcher; but we have
known half dozen butchers to break
up by selling meat at the figures COM
planned of by the EAGLE. The figures
given by the EAGLE, however, are de-
lusiye. We doubt if half dozen
steers have in the past year been
butchered in X KANSAS that would give
So pounds of eatible carcass to the
100 pounds live weight. OF The thirty
high bred bloated creatures
of the cattle kind slaughtered at the
recent Chicago Fat Stock show,
eighteen dressed less than two-thirds
of their live weight, and only two gave
as high as seve.,ty-one pounds of
dressed meat to the hundred pounds
i've weight. The average Kansas
butchers beast will not "dress out"
flfty-fiye per cent. of his live weight
n carcass meat. Everyone who knows
now much of thil .Arcass meat is made
lp of shanks, tanks, brisket, neck and
parts which are generally
umped off at very low figure, will
understand why the choice steaks and
meat without doubt on
which our Cesar of the EAGLE feeds
must be sold at strong figures, if
my margin of profit remains for the
Shelton.

hlNGNAal, Ms, Jan. {. ~.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Ii is fearful to hear the stories told Of the
suffering Of stock out on the ranges by par
ties coming in from the cattle districts.
Charles Colcord, son of Col. Colcord, just
came in with 80 head Of cattle from Barber
county. He says he had to bring them to
Kinginan county for feed. All cattle were
very poor, and many are dying from starva-
ton and more to follow. He says they are
poorer in flesh than he ever saw them in
March. The same is true in Comanchc
county, and still worse in the territory south
In his opinion, at least, with the most favor
able weather from now on, one third must
die. Your correspondent has talked with
several parties from the stock ranges, and all
agree lat il has been the most trying time
that has ever been known in that section of
the country. Even when they have plenty of
feed they have but little or no shelter. There
are great complaints. ltisto be hoped that the
worst is over. Mud is in order for this sec
ton, and weather fine overhead.
Is is reported to-day as u fixed fact that
Kingman is to have $4,000 hotel
this spring. 1t will be situated upon
To- II, uDrsh>ist corner of Main and
Sherman streets. in the heart of the town
and only short distance from the depot.
The front on Main street will be 80 feet by
$50 feet on Sherman street, three-story
brick and stone trimmings. DIR. Hinton, ID.

men don't know what to do after they get |

scared them away. Foreka was brought to
this city, and will probably die.

WICHITA WILEY SLANDERED.
To What Base Extremes Envy Will
Carry Some People.

The Wichita EAGLE occupied one of
its columns Wednesday telling what
| Wichita Needs" We were surprised
at this confession. We had been taught
| BIZ the EAGLE for years TO believe that
! Wichita was perfection-the he plus
ultra of paradise itself. Until this ar
ticlc came out we supposed the people
of that town were all ready with their
robes waiting for Gabriel to blow. Ii
viii detract a great deal from our adj
miration of the place to learn
that its inhabitants are of the
earth earthly, and that they are MEM
bers of the coming humanity, rush
ing on to glory or two the same as the
balance of us. We supposed them
light, airy, ETHEREAL bodies, floating
about with golden wings and harps,
and of the highest order of angelic
being. OF course we knew the Wich-
ita women had big feet and that lis
editors are in the habit occasionally of
well, say, drawing on what might be
termed very earthly Imagination TO a
large extent when speaking of their
town, but these were small misfortunes
to be entirely overlooked in coDtem-
plating the aggregate excellence
and superiority of the population of
that town, as dealt out by the newspa-
pers. But we were compelled 10 drop
few pegs, and to conclude that
Wichita is good deal the same as av-
erage towns, and that its people have
the methods and habits of ordinary
communities, when we read the arti-
Gle in question. We learn that the
city government in Wichita is in very
bad shape. There is a general condi-
ton of crime; high city Off are as
deep in the mire as some of the GRIMM
ais: wagon loads of rotten potatoes
and other trash are emptied where
they ought not TO be; hog pens abound
in the city limits; the source of water
supply is filthy, and SO on. Great
guns. what is Wichita coming tor
Think of those pretty Sunday sermons
and those poetical flights of the editor
of the EAGLE, and then think of rot
ton potatoes and filthy water. From
high art to hog pens by such sudden
fight. We are disappointed. We
are tired. We shall only read the EA-
GLE hereafter with that degree of in
terest which we read other papers
printed ON earth.--Weliington Press.

OLD HONOLULU.

Some time ago Capt. J. H. Brown
discovered between the. leaves of a
book, in the Y. M. G. A. library, a
picture of Honolulu in 1887. Bor-
rowing it he had it photographed by
Mr.. Williams. A BULLETIN reporter
got look at it as Messrs. King
Bros. handed the photograph, neatly
framed, to it's owner. The town has
the appearance of scattered village,
the now elegantly built-up plains
presenting front of grass huts.
The picture is really worth repro
duction in colors on a larger scale
by one of our now resident artists.
"Those were the days." the Captain
remarked, "when you got up in the
