The fftieth annual almanac of the New
York Tribune is issued, and it is probably
the most perfect of any in the long series.
As everybody knows, the Tribune does not
carry its politics into its almanac, but makes
it strictly bipartisan and the most useful
ready-reference book that one could desire
in any year, and especially in a political
year 1t is edited by Hon. Edward Me
Pherson, eX-clerk of the national house of
representatives and also ex-member of the
house, He has made it very complete in
statistics of past presidential campaigns and
in information about the material affairs of
the country, and especially pertaining to
tariff, pensions and other subjects which the
political issues of the day make of current
interest. All the great papers now issue
almanacs, but IL will take the best of them
n good while to attain the same position in
the confidence of the public which the
Tribune almanac enjoys. The price is only
twenty-five cents.

DIRECTOR POWELL of the United
States geological survey, has had under
consideration for several years past one
of the most stupendous projects ever
undertaken, and has at last gotten the
matter into definite shape. The pro-
ject is in brief, this: 1t is proposed to
dam up the canons of the Rocky Noun
tains from Canada to Mexico, in which
are the fountain heads of the tribu-
taries of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, and thus form vast resources or
store-houses of water, to be used in If
rigating the arid lands. 1t is claimed
by Mr.. Powell that it will be possible
to reclaim no less than 800, 900 miles
of lands that aIe at present worthless,
and at the same time large areas of
what are termed FLOOD plains or lands
which are now subject to damage from
the annual floods of spring time. The
magnitude of the project can be best
conceived when it is considered that
the amount of land that it IS sought to
reclaim is equal in extent to little
less than one-half the number of acres
that are now under cultivation in the
United States. The cost of such an
undertaking will of course be great.
but Prof. Powell insists that it will be
slight as compared to the value of the
land reclaimed, and he has asked con-
gress to lend its aid in commencing the
work by an appropriation of quarter
of million dollars.

THE NEWS was one of the warmest
supporters of Mr.. John Madden pre-
vious to seeing his name in the list of
persons who fail to pay their honest
debts, as published by two mercantile
protective associations. Were this
caused by honest poverty we would
still sustain him. But when we take
into consideration the fact that he has
money to spend in railroad fares, and
stops at high-priced hotels while attend
ing political gatherings, we are in
clined to think that he might pay his
debts instead of thus spending the
money of his creditors.

AS McCown failed to get anything at
the Wichita convention except a black
eye, the Emporia convention in July
will probably put him up for Tom Ryan
to knock down. "A prophet is not
withouC honor save in his own coun-
try seems not to apply in this case.
In fact, just the contrary seems to be
the fact, as Mack gets along very nice
ly with the democracy t.home. When
he goes abroad, however, he is like a
cat in strange garnet. Possibly, this
is explainable by the dearth and scare
ity of democrats and democratic timber
in this locality. Indeed, Emporia
somewhat resembles the south so far as
democracy is concerned. The only dem
ocrats here of acknowledged capacity
and intelligence served their party in
the confederate ranks.

Lyon Comfy Normal Institute.


mences June IL, closes July 6.
TO TEACHERS:
Our first venture last year in holding
an early institute was such decided
improvement over the old plan of at
tempting this work in July and August
that we have decided to again hold our
institute in June.
For some time the teachers of Lyon
county have felt the need of a course
of study for rural schools. We have
endeavored to meet this want, and a
course is now being printed, to which
| part of the daily professional work of
| the institute.
The course, with classification regis
| tiers, which the county commissioners
| have kindly provided for us. will be
placed in every school in the county at
the opening of the fall term.
Our aim is to take up the course in
| the institute in such a way as to ena-
BILE every teacher who expects to teach
| in Lyon county the coming year, to
| work strictly in accordance with it from
the beginning of the term.
Teachers, we cannot afford to lose
this. The teachers work must be a
progressive one. or he steps down and
| out of the profession. A number of
other counties in Kansas have this
year adopted course of study and are
pursuing similar plan, to more nearly
secure regulated systematic work In
the district schools, and am confident
that Lyon county teachers will, in this,
maintain their rank as among the first
of the state.
AS the applicants for certificates
| during the past year have made low
er average in arithmetic than any other
branch, special attention viii be given
| to this study, under the able direction
of Prof. johnson.
Training will be given in songs spe-
cially adapted to school use, and it is
| hoped that each teacher will be enabled
/ by this drill to use these songs success
| fully in his school.
| We are always glad to find school
officers and patrons interested and
ready to give cooperation in school
work, and we earnestly request that
you visit us this session and take adj
vantage of the opportunity of securing
| a first-class teacher.
The institute closes with teachers
examination, July 6 and z. All teach
| ers with expired certificates are ex-
pected to attend.
The annual district meeting will be
held June IS, p. m.

DURING the tariff speech OF Con-

Morse, the clothing merchant congress-
man from Massachusetts,, who stood
near by. Whereupon Major Mckinley
drew bundle from beneath his desk,
opened it and displayed a suit of all
wool clothing. Then he read a bill
showing that this suit of clothes was
bought from Mr.. MOrse's store in Bos-
ton for $40, within the last fortnight.

clothes without making a proft," adj
ded Mckinley, whose voice was
drowned in roars of applause and
laughter, amid which the Boston cloth

ley, ''would have cost forty per cent
more in 1860 than it did in 1867

THE Sunday opinion of Pueblo, Col
orado, speaking of the proposition of
the Globe-Democrat of st. Louis, to
make the rational ticket Gresham and
Low-Seth Low of Brooklyn, New
York-says: I'VE fully indorse what
the Globe-Democrat says, and believe
that New York would give this ticket
not less than 10000 plurality, for the
following reason: Brooklyn usually
goes democratic about 1000; Low car
ried it by that majority, and can do so
again; say he could hold it even; this
would leave only about 900 in New
York city to overcome. The state goes
to Harlem river with 65, 900 republican
majority; the republicans, therefore,
are sure of carrying New York with
Gresham and Low as the standard
bearers.''

THERE is great similarity between
the democratic majorities in Louisiana
and the Dick-Tated democratic short
age in the Kentucky treasury. AS

The latter is limited to the amount
of cash on hand, however, while the
former seems to have no limit what
ever, as it far surpasses the entire
number of men, women and children
living, in some districts.
