KANSAS LETTER.
The Crops of the Great West.
Bound for the Golden state.

APPANoosE, KAN, July, 23rd, 1885.
Having been intimately connected with
the News for more than fourteen years of
the work Of the editor, who recently retired
from editorial work, we feel sorry to part
with him in that way; but welcome the
present editors and managers and hope
that their editorial work may be Ms profit
able and pleasant MS was his, who left us.
We hope that, although now wandering
from homo, grand old Ohio, the home of
many of our greatest statesmen, many
brnvest soldiers, many best citizens, that
our connection with the News shall not be
broken, and if the editors will give us
place in their columns the News Family
will probably hear something of our wand
erings.
We left Whitooak Station on the G. & E.
Ry. in Brown county at 2:3O p. IN. July lG.
Leaving Cincinnati at $50 p. m. we had
but little view Of the country until the next
morning in Western Illinois.
Since the material prosperity of us all de-
ponds upon the farmer and tho miner, our
attention was much more directed to tho
crops in sight of our train than to tho many
prosperous and thrifty towns and cities that
are so rapidly springing up over our goodly
land as so many monuments Of our material
prosperity.
Western Illinois shows q good prospect
for corn, large quantities of oats, but little
wheat, and but little meadow. Our route
from st. Louis to Kansas City was over the
line Of the Chicago & Alton Ry., and, by
using an ex.ravagant expression, the whole
face of the country is planted to corn, and
makes a very poor show for a crop. The
above named nilroad is one of the finest
and best equipped roads over which we
ever rode, and we especially noticed how
many farms have fine pond in or near
their barn-yards.
The prairies here are quite level and
have suffered much from wet weather this
year. We left Kansas City on July 18, fol-
lowing the Kaw River on the line Of the A.

Clodhopper seems to think he is an en-

the beauties Of nature would not rejoice to

cause a man differs with your idous Of agri-

that some one did not pursue you with the

Tho PensIon Denartment.

Tho implied charges against General
Wikon, Pension Agent at Columbus, are
without foundation. The charge made by
the Enquirer correspondent is q malicious
one and is made against tho official conduct
of Gen. WikoG Il has boon stated that
WikOG had S332.OOO Of a balance on hand,
while the amount was only little over
S1O1, 900. From the following statements
will be seen the reason why Ohio's disabled
veterans have failed to get their just dues.
The fault is in the Pension Department
itself and not in the Columbus Agency.
The following is takou from a corrospon-
dent at Columbus writing to the CONNER
ciUl
II has always been the rule, ever since
General WikoG has had anything to do
with the payment Of pensions that at the
end Of the fiscal year tho agents continue
to pay out money in hand until he recoiued
new credit, and then cover the whole bal
ance into tho Treasury, the balance being
made up in the course Of fifteen or twenty
days after the close Of the year. This was
done in order not TO interrupt the payment
of pensions, and from the fact that in an
Office Of the size of that in Columbus, the
largest in the country. it required that long
to determine what the balance ut the close
of the year was. Authority for observing
this rule is found in q letter written to Cen
eral WikoH upon his entering his new term
of office, under q now Board, February 20
last, by the then Commissioner of Pensions,
O. p. G.. Clark The instructions were as
follows Payments will continue without
interruption until you shall have been ad-
vised of new credits whereupOn you will
deposit an amount equivalent to your bal
ance unoXpondod at the close of buainess
on the day next preceding that ON which
you assumed charge"
This has been a custom, then, and if the
new Commissioner, General BlOck, desired
any change he ought TO have notified his
agents.
From the kilograms sent by John c.
Black, Commissioner Of Pensions at Wash
ington, it will be seen that on June 3Oth
he ordered Gen. WilloT to make no dis
bursoments after that day until he was no.
tilted of funds placed to his credit Ten
days later Gen. WizoG tolegraphed to
Commissioner Black concerning the COM
plants made by soldiers, but no reply was
received Gen. Wikof wrote q letter to
Black some days afterwards telling him
that several hundred pensioners were await
ing their dues This letter brouClt an
answer on the 18th Of July, but up to the
Oath inst Con WikolT had not received the
requisition Of $85O,OOO that Com. Black
has promised to be placed subject to the
draft of Gen. WikoG. This is the state OF
affairs, tho true facts in the case.

Explained for the Democrats.

The Democrats can not soc how little
matter of $50, 600 due on tho Dolphin should
ombarruss John Roach They forgot, how
over, that that is not the question. Mr..
Roach supposed that he had q contract to
furnish the govorcment four vessels at So
100000. They arc nearly all completed and
he has received large share Of his money.
Secretary Whitney and Attornoy-G General
Garland, however, insist that there is no
contract, that the vessels shall be left on
Mr.. Ronch's hands, and that he shall refund
what has been paid him under the supposed
legal agreement. Thus the matter Of few
thousands becomes one OF millions. -

There isnO Excuse.

It is useless to attempt to apologize for
Governor HOadly's scaudalous delay in max
ing appropriate recognition Of tho death of
General Grant. Governors of other States
promptly responded to the popular pulsa-
ton. The Governor of Ohio was in Co.
lumbus when the sad tidings wore received,
and did not leave until that night He
could have written the proclamation so
manifestly appropriate, in fifteen minutes.
Apologies for his unmanly neglect only
serve to intensity the public Indignation.
But IOadly himselfidoes not explain, he
can't. Only his political personal following
