Last Saturday the first new wheat
was marketed here, bringing 60 cents
per bushel. 1t is not moving very
fast, which is very fortunate for both
the buyer and producer. New wheat
is not yet in condition to handle safely,
and. prices will undoubtedly be
much better a few months hence.
The quality of this cereal sold here so
far is inferior.

cLEvELAND'S CATTLE ORDER.
The cattle proclamation will cripple

The cattle proclamation will cripple
several Wichita men. That Cleve-
lands order against the cattlemen OF
the Territory was hasty and incon-
siderate goes without argument. CHI
zens of Missouri, il is estimated, hold
about Ss,O00,OO0 worth of cattle on
that reservation, while the interests
of Colorado and Kansas can he but
little less. At least nineteen-twen-
tieths of the Indians favor the leases,
for they got directly from $4,000 to
$50, 1000 per annum in rental money.
As the government deprives them of
this money the q. S. treasury will
probably be made TO supply it. The
enforcing of this order will throw two
or three hundred thousand head OF
cattle Immediately upon the market
efiecting every cattle raiser in Mis-
souri,, Kansas and the west. And
this order was made in face of recent
decisions by the courts that the leases
were valid. The action will not only
depress the market now but insOmuch
cut of the source of supply for the
future.
The cattlemen who had leased in
good faith should have been given at
least a reasonable time to. get their
cattle away.

MEAN PARTiSANSHIP.

The most violent as of offensive
partisanship possible, would be the re-
moval of one partisan by another
partisan, on the score of partisanship;
therefore, Grover Cleveland is the
most offensive partisan in America,
simply because in his office inheres
the power, and in himself the dispo-
sition to remove all unfriendly execu-
tive officers Of the government on the
simple plea that their partisanship
fails to coincide with that of his own.

Prof. Samuels,
OPTICIAN.

Prof Samuels offers to those that are suf-
fering from weakness and defective sight,
his improved crystal glass spectacles, supe-
rior to any other in use. They are con-
structed in accordance with the philosophy
of nature, admirably adapted to the organs
of sight and perfectly natural to the eye
The advantages of these spectacies are:
First-That they can be worn with per-
feet ease for any length of time at one sit
ting, giving astonishing clearness of vision
by candle or other artificial light, and COM
fort to the spectacle wearer hitherto I'M
known.
Second-It requires professional guidance
even when a good article is offered. Prof.
Samuels not only has the best glasses that
can be found, but carefully examines the
eyes Of the patient and gives indispensable
advice as to the proper selection of them.
Third-These glasses are scientifically
adjusted to every case of defective sight,
with unerring accuracy, whether arising
from age or strain or premature decay, by
entirely his own.
Prof Samuels, to signalize himself from
the hosts of pretenders in his profession
will submit for inspection copies of testi-
monials of the most unquestionable re-
spectability and talent Of America. also a
number Of letters from well known people
who have used his glasses.
The use of any of the following names OF
certificates without ap actual possession OF
the same would be forgery, an otfenst
punishable by imprisonment in the state;

FROM time to time there has been q
slight demand from London for confed-
crate billr, and the American people were
at a loss to know OF what use they could
be to anybody except as curiosities
Some persons believed the absurd story
that they were being bought up In hopes
that come day they would be paid. 1t
would seem, however, from q discovery
made at Castle Garden, New York, thai
these worthless bills are being used In
working confidence games upon emigrants
Just us they are about to leave Europe
for America. One of the emigrants, who
recently landed at Cas- lie Garden, had In
his possession a one.hundred.dollar con-
ferate bill, for which ne had been induced
by a London money broker, or rather a
swindler who represented himself to be a
broker, to pay 420 marks In gold. This
is about the only use to which the con-
federate bills can be put, and we shall
probably hear of other emjgrants who
have been swindled in q similar way.

THE substitution of the lighter for the
heavier drinks, SIS shown by the figures
of the last twenty-five years, Is a social
fact of some Significance. We now drink
more beer and wine and less whisky.
In 1860 the population of the United
States, In round numbers, was 31,000,.
600, ct which time the consumption of
spirituous liquors amounted to S6,OO0,-
600 gallons. In 1884, with a population
of not less than 55, 600, 900, the consump-
ton was less than 10000 900 gallons.
On the other hand the consumption of
malt liquors has risen from 100, 600, 600
gallons In 1860 to 500, 600, 900 gallons
last year, and that CT native wines from
1900, 900 gallons to 1900, 900 gallons.

LOGAN'S

General Logan has at last been re-.
United States senator from ILL
noir, after a remarkable and closely con.
tested fight. 1t is a Victory of which he
m'y we'll be proud, and to him it is ss
great en- honor as, il not greater than, an
election to the vice-presidency would
have been. 1t affords an example to the
country Of what perseverance, and pluck
can accomplish. The Lord helps those
who help themselves. In this instance
General Logan has been the plumed
knight Of illinois, foremost In the fray
bold, brave aud undsunted.
The neral effect of this victory upon
the republicans OF Illinois and upon the
the party throughout the whole country
cannot be owe estimated. 1t shows that
able leadership can win battles without
patronage and without money. General
Logan had no offices within his gift, and
no money to throw away. He went Into
the fight In Illinois with a single purpose,
as the recognized leader of his party In
Illinois, and his munly bearing and
staying qualities enabled hin to carry of
the prize.
General Logan will now go back to the
senate as an acknowledged leader, and
with a fair prospect of heading the
national republican ticket In 1858.
