Our opinion in this matter is that a
great many Republicans are we'll pleased
with Cleveland's administration, and
would be glad of his reelection. Although
they may not like the party, yet they
must approve of the present administra-
ton Fremont Press. Our opinion in
this matter is that the Press is speaking
for some fnal-proof notices, instead of for
Republicans Republicans in western
Kansas do not endorse Cleveland's admin
istration. They are tired of it, and are
united in declaring that he will be let
down and out on March 4, 1889. We
claim to be speaking only for the Re-
publicans. The Press has the right to
worship Cleveland.

"A PLEA FOB THE SOUTH."

This is what our contemporary,
the Tribune, of last week makes.
That paper doubts whether the late
war in this country" was a rebellion.
It tells us that secession is the doc
trine of states rights, forced to its
legitimate conclusions"
There is just enough dictionary
orthodoxy in us to warrant our talk
ing a moment on the subject Of
rebellion" "Rebel'' is defined to
be "a citizen or subject who unlaw-
fully takes up arms against the con-
stituted authorities of nation, to
deprive them Of the supreme power;
to revolt; to resist lawful authority"
Were there rebels in this country
just preceding and during the late
war? lie there We're, their acts con-
stituted rebellion just as surely as
their defeat meant saved Union!
We beg to remind our amiable
contemporary that the question of
states rights, considered in the light
of the legal right of any state to set
up it's Judgment against that Of the
general government, was settled for
ever when the rebellion was crushed.
1t is all well enough for the Tribune
to assert that Kansas, with her Pro-
hibitory law and her metropolitan
police law, strains the question of
states rights to it's utmost tension"
Does not that paper know that Kan
sas is always ready to bow graceful
ly to the supreme court Of the land
in any and all of its decisions affect
ing any of the laws Of this state?
This action on the part of Kansas is
at antipodes with the old states
rights doctrine. Where, then, is the
wonderful "tension?" The Tribune
says:
1t was Northern ships, manned by
Northern sailors, that imported ship loads |
of Negroes, kidnapped or bought by
Northern gold, and it was slave dealers
from the North that sold these Negroes
into slavery to Southern planters: until
the south had its all invested in these
human chattels.
Democrats in the North never
were accused of being opposed to
slavery. In fact, after Southern
Democracy had determined that
must be perpetuated, the
Northern Democrats were their will
ing tools, not only in kidnapping
and selling slaves, but in returning
those who had run away. The
Tribune and this paper can not DIFF
fer materially concerning the above
paragraph. unless it viii assert that
m Abolitionist, or, later, Republi-
can, had hand in this Northern
business of kidnapping.
But she accepted the results of the war
in good faith, and is to-day as loyal as is
The North.
This will do to tell the Monaghan
marines. Every well-informed citi-
zen Of America, whether he lives in
the North or.the South, knows that
BE Southern states are holding in
liter contempt the war amendments
8 the constitution; that there is no
Iuch q thing as a free ballot and a
sir count in any state where the
|oIored population exceeds or nearly

Dairying.

Writers on dairying advocate this
branch of farming as the lever that will,
with a man at the little end of it, lift the
farm out of the slough of debt which
grain-growing has usually sunk it and
place his family in affluence. ALI Of which
is true if intelligently and thoughtfully
conducted. However, if the dairy is to be
the means of deliverence from debt and
distress, see to it that it is not accom-
plished at the expense of wife's physi-
cal and mental destruction.
If dairying becomes an added industry
to grain-raising, without curtailing the
number OF acres kept under the pillow,
then, unless additional help is provided,
it is likely to prove curse rather than a
blessing; for it usually throws upon an
already overtaxed woman the burden OF
not only caring for the milk product, but
she is often compelled to look after the
COWS.
On the cars, short time since, / fell
into conversation with lady on the sub
ject OF farm life. She was dependent on
her own exertions for q livelihood. and ai

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Tree Plantation and Sundry EcOnO'
mics on the Dairy Farm.

For the Bureau of Dairy Information, Chicago, ILL.,.
by c. L. Gabrielson.
To bring the matter of tree planting
home to each one of us who owns dairy
farm, or has stock to care for during the
winter months, let us look at the situation
from the dollars and cents point of view.
Cattle turned out from a moderately
warm stable into an unsheltered yard
experience change of temperature vary
ing from ten to fifty degrees. Animal
heat must be kept up at all hazards.
If the daily allowance of food is not
sufficient to sustain the body under these
circumstances then the deficit must be
taken from the blood and tissue. A barn.
yard having a belt of timber trees on the
exposed sides will show temperature
twenty degrees higher than in the wind
outside of this shelter. The saving of
food by this method of protection aside
from the humane phase of the question
together with the though of identifying
the homestead, should encourage each
one to plant trees.
Did any of you ever make an estimate
of the time spent in going to and from
town? In our part of the county Satur-
day has, by common consent, become a
sort of half holiday. and suppose the
same custom prevails elsewhere. This
is all right, for we enjoy meeting our
friends to exchange views on politics,
condition of crops, hear neighborhood,
and other news. However, don't neglect
to ask your wife to go along; time was
when you used to think her pretty good
company when going to ride.
Now live nearly six miles from my
post-office, and on that day have an early
dinner, SO that three-fourths of the day is
spent in this way, or thirty-nine days in
the year-equal to twelve and a-half per
cent. of the working days of the year.
But suppose that I had notion of going
to town twice week, then the time spent
would be twice that stated before, and
the distance travelled in this extra trip
would amount to 623 miles, or equal to
blowing so acres of land, which is more
blowing than the average quarter section
farm requires.
Trips to town on account of break
downs may be largely avoided by at
tention to machines before starting out
and intelligent watchfulness while in use.
Every farmer should have well
selected lot of wood and iron working
tools, in the use of which the boys should
be encouraged. These with variety of
bolts, few extras like pitman bolt, a
box, riyets, sections, ETC., kept on hand.
and thus the waste of valuable time will
be reduced to the minimum.

CREAMERY AND PATRON.
I am friend and patron of the creamery
because it, together with the improved
methods of milk-sett1ng, has made 1t
possible to realize good returns from the
COW without enslaving our wives to the
tyrany of the churn.
The feeling of antagonism which some
times exists between patron and pro-
prietor will usually be removed if spirit
investigation is INDUCED in. A suspicion
that cream does not hold can easily be set
at rest by churning given quantity of
average cream, measured by tile skinner,
and the butter weighed by tried and test
ed scales in the hands of disinterested
parties. Such trials must be convincing
patron and proprietor.
A costly delusion is the feeling that
rivalry on cream routes insures better
prices. If the skinner must travel all
day to collect 80 inches, and is paid $500
for his days work, the cost of gathering
will be four cents per in, while if he
collected 200 inches the cost of gathering
is one cent per inch and ''the farmer pays
for ALL" Every patron is interested in
knowing that his neighbors care for the
milk in such a manner as to produce
cream of high quality, for on the
condition of the cream depends the value
of the product. A lowering of one cent,
or three cents per pound counts inst so
much against the price paid for cream.
A creamery proprietor can do much
toward harmonizing conflicting interests
by calling meeting of the patrons and
there discuss these questions in a
way, then, instead of a
feeling of antagonism there will grow a
sense of mutual dependence which will
go far towards making the farm pay"

Why Pensions Are Delayed.

Congressman Grosvenor, Of Ohio, from
the committee on pensions, has called at
tentlon to the fact that the committee OF
rules has absolutely neglected to devote
special day to the hearing Of pressing
pension bills, in spite of earnest requests
rom the republican minority, and in face
OF the fact that other subjects have been
granted special opportunities for legisla-
tive action. In addition to this persistent
refusal. he calls attention to the fact
That q gentleman from Kentucky had pass
ed bill increasing a pension of $25 a
month to $50 month, which the Presi-
dent signed, while at the same time he
vetoed the bills of worthy and deserving
widows and orphans of union soldiers.
Though the Democratic party has much
to say concerning surplus it is extremely
10th to apply that surplus or any part of
it to the alienation of the wants of worthy
veterans and their families. The only
conclusion in the face of these continued
demands for hearing of pension bills by
the Republicans and constant refusals by
the party in power, is that the Democrats
do not intend to permit further action on
pressing pension legislation. There is
money in the treasury that can be
measured by millions, and distress in the
families of veteran union soldiers that no
measure is capable of approximating, and
that can be appreciated only by those
who have seen their little possessions
go in piece-meal to satisfy the era
wing of hunger and the necessity for
warmth and clothing, until at length the
last resource has been given up and starv-
alton and privation stare the penniless
ones in the face. In spite of the fact that
there are thousands of aged veterans in
want and the number increasing so that
benevolent soldiers societies cannot begin
to care for all as each case demands, the
Democratic majority in the lower house
of Congress absolutely refuses to open
the doors of legislation. It sits steadily
with folded hands and votes on trivial
motions and bickers over a question that
promises future distress for workingmen
as great as present distress for veterans
When bill does manage to get through
Congress it is killed by Cleveland, the
skulker who hired substitute to take his
