ODE TO THE SUNNY SOUTH.

Dear sunny land! our joyful home
Where we delight 10 dwell,
Poets and bards may sing thy
praise,
But none thy charms can tell.
Land Of our birth, land OF oul
pride,
Where spicy breezes blow,
And songsters warhe their sweet
est song,
And sweetest flowers grow.
Oh! who can tell thy radiant
charmsg
Or thy pleasant scenes describe,
Thou excels the land of corn and
wine.
Given to IsraePs tribes.
Here sweetest odors perfume our
air,
And crops abundant grow.
Thou garden spot Of all the earth,
A paradise below.
It's true thy fields wore trodden
down,
Thy treasures hath been hid,
But none can hide thy lovely
charms,
While mortals dwell amid.
Thou hast been washed and rinsed
in tears,
Bathed in the crimson tide.
Still thou art pure as Eden's bloom,
Or the proud oceans tide.
Thy sons and daughters love thee
well,
Thy radiance DER them fall,
Thou art the land that God de-
signs,
To overshadow all.
Thy pleasant sounds break on my
ear,
In many a joyful lay,
Around my heart thy charms en-
twIno
Thy shadows Ter me play.
Thy truest of the earth thy sons,
Thy daughters, more than fair,
The richest corn and wine thou
hast,
The softest balmy air.
Heroes hast thou beneath the sod.
Their valor by all is known,
True, thy noble sons as steel,
Thy daughters, as precious stones.
Thou hast been washed in brave
mems blood,
And rinsed in womans tears,
All traces Of wroag we're swept
away,

THE GREAT BUTCHER WAR.

There is a systematic effort being made
upon the part of the butchers of the
country to beat the dressed meat com
panies. A hue and cry is set up against
diseased and unfit meat, and a demand
that no dressed beef shall be offered ex-
except it has been inspected alive-on
hoof-in the same town where killed.
This cry Is largely, if not altogether,
pure rot. 1t is a question if the meat of
diseased animal is dangerous to the
human stomach or health. Indians.
whole bands of them, viii visit stock
yards in time of hog cholera and pull
the pocines from the bitches and clean
ard eat them without any bad effect
But the meats Of the great packing
house are just as free from disease as the
meats of the village butcher shop, with
out doubt. As for the consumer. there
Is but one side TO the question. The
wholesale or great packing plants which
buy cattle and slaughter them bv the
thousand, utilizing their horns. bones.
hoofs, hair, oifal and blood. can furnish
meats at a lower price than can the local
butcher. For that reason it is going to
prove up hill work TO force, by law. the
local inspection and butchering of meats.

THE REBUILDING AT FORT RILEY.

Under this heading the Kansas City,
Kan, Gazette, of last Friday has a
lengthy editorial article giving a
synopsis of the history of that historic
military post that is both interesting and
instructive in view of the recent determ-
ination of the government to make it the
chief recruiting station for the army as
well as the establishing there of a school
of instruction for the various arms Of the
military service, and the active reSump-
ton of work at the Fort preparatory
thereto. Work was first begun about
three years ago with an appro-
priation of $4,000 to rebuild
and increase the quarters at the Fort.
This was followed by direct appropria-
ton of 5000, 600 and the session which
just closed gave them $3.50, 900 more. In
addition to this they have had $4,000 or
$1,000 out of special finds, for water
works, hospital repairs, etc. The work
is in charge of Captain George E. Pond,
constructing quartermaster, an officer
of skill and taste both in engineering and
architecture, and an admirable and scru-
pulous overseer of puplic work.
1t is said to be the determination of the
military authorities to make that not
only the finest military post on the con-
tinent. but the novel of the world. 1t
was always regarded as Sheridan's pet,
and it is understood that Schofield shares
in the sentiment of the army concerning

being laid out is set down CT
q million and half dollars In sum-
ming up the matter as TO its practical
advantages to our state the Gazette
truthfully says:
IAN establishment requiring the
maintenance, in almost the heart Of the
state, OF from two to three thousand men
and twelve or fifteen hundred horses. is
not the only feature of value 70 our peo-
pie. Riley will be the main point for all
purchases of horses for the army. The
idea of the government raising its own
horses is held by many military men.
Sheridan believed that by crossing GER
tain breeds perfect cavalry horse can
be obtained, and this is one of the hopes
entertained concerning Riley by army
folks. Nepredict that IN ten years cen
tral Kansas will be one of the most val
liable horse regions in the world. and
that Riley will be the heart that will
furnish the pulse-beats TO a great in
tereSt'
The military operations of the govern
ment are rapidly changing. The Indian
question Is practically settled In few
years more there will be no occasion TO
scatter the army over thousands of miles

THE OKLAHOMA CONVENTION.

From the Beaver City n. s. Advocate,
In spite of bad weather and the action
Of the railroads in withdrawing their
offer of half-rates the Wichita Oklahoma
convention was a pronounced success.
With the board of trade in charge and
ably seconded by the entire press of
Wichita success was assured from the
moment of its inception. The other
towns of southern Kansas laid aside
their private jealousy of Wichita's great
ness long enough to lend hand to a
convention to promote the general good.
The 800 who registered at the board of
trade rooms We're not half Of those who
We're In the city to attend the conven-
ton. Many Of the delegates arrived on
the morning of the convention and not
knowing the order of the day did not get
to register. To say that the convention
was enthusiastic for the creation of the
territory Of Oklahoma does not express
the interest manifested. The mere
mention of the name was sufficient to
bring forth a round of applause. The
addresses of Springer, Weaver and Man
sur were received as they we'll deserved
to be, with enthusiasm. Mr.. Springer's
address was an epitome of the benefits of
IhO pAii az iOpOItcu ny INC 1OihLiiIeSO Oii
territories of which he is chairman.
The convention did the. sensible thing
by acting upon the suggestion made by
the Advocate three weeks ago and max
ing it permenant organization. The
purposes Of the permanent organization
are to raise money to defray expenses of
the committee sent to Washington and
to print and distribute circulars of infor-
nation concerning the movement.
