There seems to be so much assever-
alton that General Harrison will run
his own administration, and that he
will be president in fact rs we'll as
name, that 1t is enough to arouse sus-
picion that there is danger that he
won't. The everlasting gushers who
are promising what the administration
will do, and what it will not do, ought
to be choked off. If Mr. Blaine is
made secretary of state he will doubt
less make his influence strongly felt
in every department of the admins
tration, and it would not hurt the
country if he did General Harrison
or any other president, cannot afford
to run the government on ''his own
hook" Grover Cleveland made that
luckless experiment. Presldent-elect
Harrison in our opinion is a man of
too much tact and intelligence to fall
into the same hole.-State Journal.

There was fellow named Frank
Wilkeson, accompanied by Mr. E. A.
Cup, of Salina, who came to Colby
some time in May last. Said Frank
Wilkeson represented to the citizens
of Colby that he was special cores
pondent of the New York Sun. and
made the citizens of Colby the modest
offer of full-page write-up of Thomas
county and Colbyin the Sun for the
sum of $1,000. This no one here
would consider. Then Wiikeson said
he would give half page in the Sun
for $500. A subscriptio paper was
started and something over 5000 sub
scribed, but the required $500 was not
forthcoming This failure on the part
of our citizens to give Mr.. Wilkeson
$500 to depict in most gorgeous and
roseate colOrs our resources and con-
dition made him very wrathy, and he
swore to said Culp that he would get
even with the people of this county
and city, and would write such letters
to eastern papers as would turn the
tide of emigration from our limits.
Mr.. Wilkeson is now engaged in efforts
to carry out his threats. In the New
York Times of December 10th is q
long letter fromW,lkeson which proves
him TO be a writer and romancer of no
mean merit, in which he makes state
ments concerning Western Kansas,
calling it the arid belt which have
lust sufficient ruth and apparent can
dor in them as to be the most danger.
GUS and hurtful of lies. His style of
writing is full Of force and energy,
and such letters are calculated to re-
tard western emigration and the en-
ployment of eastern capital in west
ern development 1t was this same
Wilkeson who cent out the lying dis
patches concerning starvation and
freezing in Kansas last winter. His
mission on earth seems to be that of
the man who says Stand and Deliver,
and in case of failure to deliver, defa-
nation and injury are sure to fol-
low.

The Sherman Dark Horse says that
as business proposition Goodland
should oppose the removal of the land
office from Oberlin to Colby. Why.
Brother TAFT, cannot the people of
your county reach Colby in much less
time and at much less expense than to
60 to Oberlin; and is not the same
true of five counties out of the six
which compose the land district? Ii
so, how is it business proposition to
oppose a removal? You say that up
on such a removal depends Colby's
chances Of getting a division of the l..
& c. Ry. Will you please explain,
how such a strange idea entered your
mind, and in what way such an event
as the removal Of the land Office could
possibly affect the officers of railroad
in the selection of division station?
Please explain.

The FORGET Act.

Sleepy Eyc Herald
Under the forestry act OF TINS s'''e'
$40. 900 are annually appropriated AS
q bounty for planting trees on iaLds
and highways. Applications for tins
bounty are being received by the state
auditor. and they now represent y, 49V
acres and go miles of highway. The
bounty is fled at 50 per acre and s.
for each mile of highway. Upon this
basis the sum requisite to meet the
applications would be $4,000. This
being $4,000 over the amount appro-
priated by the legislature, a discount
of 33A per cent will have to be made
from each applicants bounty.
Thus does Minnesota provide for
the planting of her treeless plains.
Why should not the Legislature Of
Kaneas make some such law?

4 couple of weeks since we pub
lished an extract from some paper de
crying the practice of dehorning cat
tie and setting forth the evil results
from it. Since which time we have
been in receipt of numerous papers
and letters urging many reasons in ia
vor of the practice. The reasons Civ
en- ia short are:
when a herd has been deprived OF
its horns there will be no more cases
of abortion; no more injured udders
caused by hooking; no more monopo
lizing space at feed and shelter; nc
more fear Of being gored."
Cows will give as much milk and
stock cattle will fatten on much les.

Mr.. R. W. Finley, of Oberlin, and
a county officer of Decatur county,
was in our city on Friday last, circu-
iating petition to President Harris
on that he be appointed Receiver of
the u. S. Land Office of this district.
Mr.. Finley is undoubtedly fine gen.
tleman and would fill the Office credit
ably. But we respectfully submit
that there are some other places in
Western Kansas besides Oberlin, and
that she and her people can't have the
land offices. land officers, judges, SEN
ators and all other salt of this part of
the state.
Thomas County cat. [volume] (Colby, Kan.) 1885-1891, 1888-12-27

1t our next Legislature could do
something toward the enactment of a
law to encourage forestry by appro-
priating a certain amount to any cOun-
ty in the state which would give a like
amount for the purpose of tree cul-
ture, many of the western counties
would doubtless avail themselves of
the appropriation and tree culture
would receive an impetus which would
be productive of great good on GU,
treeless plains. Here is chance for
some enterprising legislator to distin-
guish himself.

a great many papers in Western
K .nsas are just now discussing the
question Of the probable effect that
tn, openin., up of Oklahoma would
have Oh settlement in this part Of the
state, and the general tenor of their
remarks is to decry suci, opening.
Without giving any reasons, they say
that i, would retard settlement here.
F II our part, we can, idly confess we
do hot see why it should do SO. There
is little if amy govern ment land left
untaken in all northw. .st Kansas. The
class Of settlers who would 90 to Ok

land and those who sc, Elk to make a

Western Kansas has now progressed
to the second stage of development.
Instead of by specula tiou in land, live.

come to Western Kansas until it was

were builded, until it was proved be-

habitation and capable of supplying
the demands of human kind. To
these, many portions, if not all, of
Western Kansas offers an inviting
field and from these We must expect
from now on our emigration. A lded
to these advantages the eheapness of
our Lands is the iodestone which will
attract to our limits many thousands
Of eastern people who will come and
reap the benefit of the work Of the
hardy pioneer in the early settlement
OF this country. The opening of Ok
iahoma will rather accelerate than re-
tard the settlement of Western Kan
eas.

While it is not 1T all new, it is sugges
ted, and the suggestion meets our
hearty approval that the salaries OF
our state legislature. senate and house
be increased from So. 90 to $500 per
day. The per diem now will hardly
pay hotel bills, and no one unless he
be wealthy can afford to be legisfat-
or. Increase the per diem to $500.

The editor of the HOxie Democrat
