Western Kansas.

Prior to the beginning of the pres
ent storm period, which began about
Nav 18th, western Kansas was alarm
ed about the dry weather. Our fore
casts, however, made a month AGO
when we said that this storm period
would bring western Kansas rain was
not amiss The rains came and the corn
and other grain sprang to newness of
The other disturbances will also bring
rain before June closes, but those of
the last days of the month are more
likely to reach southwestern Kansas
People are inclined to fear the storms
but if it were not for the storms we
could have no rain. This is not the
time to borrow trouble about drouth.
Plow deep, often. Kill the weeds, SO
as to lay by early corn at an early
date. Late corn should be plowed
often and Late so as to keep it green
through the July droutL.

Under the above head the St Louis
Republican says: "Kansas is proba-
bly, the most prosperous state in the
union. 1t has sprung up in the scale
of agricultural states to position
very near the top
Thanks. But what state is any
nearer the top? Let us take the
National Bureau of Agriculture for
1883.
Is it Missouri? Kansas raised H.
145 600 bushels more corn than Mis-
sour.
Is it Illinois? Kansas raised S5,-
Coz. 6S6 bushels more corn; 4,7O1. 900
bushels more wheat, and Is, 123, 334
bushels more oats than Illinois.
Is it Iowa? Kansas raised 3, l &c.
900 bushels more corn than Iowa.
Is it Nebraska? Nebraska raised
lO1 .27S. 900 bushels OF cOrn-a big
corn crop, but Kansas raised 172, $780,
900 bushels: 1921, 100 bushels in
favor of Kansas.
1t Texas? Kansas raised 100, O0O,-
900 bushels more corn than Texas.

Perhaps it is Minnesota. Kansas
raised just Isl, SIS. 100 bushels more
corn than Minnesota. Next.
Is It Dakota? She is not corn

To7he Old MaN.

We freely acknowledge the touch
ing tribute paid us by the old man in
last weeks CAT and with equal zeal
for your fcrbearance solicit your at
tention while we reciprocate.
We, indeed, are ordinary, as the old
man says he is, and boast of no more.
You, with no little effort at smartness,
remark about being ''cast adrift in
this great cold world without sufficient
stirring apparatus That is a fine
figure, stirring apparatus is elegant,
but how did you know that | had no
pillow or farming utensils? 1t is sad
but how shall l mend now?
Without one pang we frankly con-
fess that dame fortune did not smile
on us so much as on some notable
personages, but We battled right along
manfully and persistently. We were
not born with silver spoon in our
mouth and have had many knocks and
are not in any manner ashamed of our
want of this worlds goods, even if
the old man in his silly dotage and eN-
IRENE parsimoniousness sneers and
growls at us in an open way Oh ac-
count Of the lack of filthy lucre.
Sometimes the tables turn.
Your extraordinary article was re-
markahle for nothing bat its nothing
ness. A good deal like lemonade
without any lemon, or ice cream with
out any ice. You, no doubt, meant
we'll, but You surely must have been
intoxicated by the recent literary sue
cess, in your mind, to make so open a
break Were you smarting under
some imaginary thrusts from one who
admires your style and language but
fails to grasp what you want they
should convey? Few are allowed to
enjoy those celestial or Internal abodes.
The little red devils bother all but
you, the great prototype of all that is
true and noble.
We really never thought of being
president even of a bank or Of having
a high Office in the same sort of an
institution. To enjoy the first one
must have luck and suspicious cir
cumstances. To have the last in
full fruition one must be a Pygma-
lion.
l feel highly fattered at what you
say about Kansas babies; but did you
ever reflect how many Missouri babies
have Ed. A. Hall prefxed to their
names? You are so old it might be
. little surprising at first blush. Mis-

RIVER AND DHARBOH STEAL.

What are the honest tax payers of
this country to think of the hypOcrl-
teal pretenCes Of economy made by
the Democratic leaders in Congress
with the figures of the river and harbor
steal staring them in the face? This
iniquity simply despoils the treasury OF
SIS,ooo,ooo What bosh and non
sense are Democratic professions OF
reform, retrenchment and honesty
when interpreted by such acts. We
have seen but one Democratic news
paper candid enough to denounCe it.
The Hagerstown 1NaiI shows charac-
ter enough to denounce it as it deserves.
Not a Democrat in the House from
this State was found to vote against it.
1t is rather strange spectacle to old
Democrats from this State especially,
to see not single Democrat vote in
the house against it.
In the old days of Jackson Demo
cracy such a bill would have been
hooted down. 1t was against such
measures that General Jackson and the
Democratic party in the days of its
| vigor and manhood made their safe
anchorage with the people. 1t was
against the methods by which this bill
was passed that the Democrats of old
waged their successfulwar and maintain
ed their power with the people. How
changed Indeed an old timed De O.
crat hardly knows himself when look
ing over the "yea and nay vote upon
this as well as upon other measures now
before Congress.
If it were to put in or turn out some
office. holder there is a rigid party
vote, but upon the most important oI
measures or policies there has not been
solid party during the session of Con
gress. There is no oneness in prin-
ciple no regard for sentiment no re
spect paid to Democratic usuages, prin-
ciples, practices or pledges by a large
mass of those elected by Democratic
votes. The only hope now is in the
President. That he may put his foot
upon this measure should be the prayer
of every honest and earnest Democrat
in the country.
The Cecil Whig., 1886-05-22

OPEN confession is said to be good
for the soul, and as the Democratic
party is badly in need of consolation,
this may account for the frank, though
humiliating confessions of its leaders in
The House. Nearly every day some
such confession is made by way of ex-
cusing the enlarged appropriations,
which expose the campaign talsehoods
by which the party obtained power. 1t
is well understood that the leaders now
intend to make no appropriation tor
sea coast defences, for an increase OF
the Navy, and for other such necessary
purposes, in order to make the show
ing against them as small as possible
The Cecil Whig., 1886-05-22
CRIMINAL IMMIGRANTS,

No intelligent man we think will
deny that, a large percentage of the
immigrants now landed in this Coun-
try, represents the criminal classes and
of-scourings Of European cities, and
which should not be allowed a foot
hold on our soil. The recent anarchist
demonstrations in Chicago indicate the
predominance of this foreign element
among the working classes of that city,
and which wherever it exists, unfurls
the bloody flag of communism, the un-
welcome symbal of defiance of law, and
disregard of constituted authority. A
prominent journal is authority for the
recent statement that not long ago an
Italian Senator, who had been on a
tour through Northern Europe, re-
turned ana told his Senate that Italy
was behind the times in dealing with
criminals that in Northern Europe he
found that it was customary to send
regular shipments of criminals and pau
pers to the United States from their
over-crowded prisons and asylums.
So far as one European country is
concerned it is evident that this Italian
Senator's statement is perfectly true.
Correspondence between Secretary
Bayard and Austria, on the subject of
examining the baggage of certain Bo.
hemian revolutionists, shows that Aus
trla ships her criminals here, knowing
that they are such, and without inform
ing our government of their dangerous
character.
1t is a known fact that Europe for
several years has made the United
States dumping ground, as the Spring
field Republican aptly says, for its
"scoundrels, paupers and lunatics," to
its benefit and our injury. The leaders
in most of the strikes are foreign agita
tors. The anarchists and most of the
paupers and criminals are foreigners.
1t is time to put stop to this. 1t
is time for Congress, as Labor Com
missioner Wright suggests, to "con-
slider what reasonable and humane
regulations may be adopted relative to
