The plan of the farmers trust scheme.

rate the trust with a capital Of SIG. OOO,-
coo, to be issued in $40 shares, S1O,OOO.-
600 of which is to be held in reserve,
and Sl0,OO0,OOO sold to actual farmers
and stock-raisers, at fifty cents on the
dollar; the stock to be appOrtiOned to
the respective states and territories
according TO their farming population
and producing power, and equally dis
tributed in counties, townships or DIS
tricts. OF course the scheme Is not
practicable, nor even sensible; and is
simply Job to get paying positions for
a few men. III the farmers Of Kansas
would organize n trust company of their
numbers, who would agree TO vote for
no man for congress who favors a high
protective tariff, they then would be
doing some real, practical good, for a
reform tariff means saying TO every
head of family. of from SO to so on

protected eastern monopolists, the very
men who not only own the factories,
but who have become so rich from the
contributions OF the western cOnsum-
ers, that they also own ninety-nine

Clark County Clipper: "Of the four
delegates at large to the national demo-
cratic convention from this state, the
great southwest is entitled to one. Our
rapidly increasing population and the
large democratic vote of the southwest
deserves such a recognition at the
hands of the state democracy. The
Clark county democracy has never
asked anything of the party, but we now
put forward the name of Hon. Thomas
+. Berry, of this city, as candidate
for delegate-at-large TO the st. Louis
convention. No man in southwestern
Kansas has done more for the party, or
been more ready or able champion of
pure democracy and the administration
than he. And none are more deserving
OF the honor Of helping to renominate
Grover Cleveland-the next president
of the United States. A lifelong dem
ocrat. Of clean private and public
record, well posted on the issues of the
day and the grinding injustice of the
war tariff, and an enthusiastic support

perfectly cured anu need the assistance
OF the government no longer. Enclosed

In areport, issued last Saturday. Gen.
Bradford says, regarding prohibition in
Kansas THE status of prohibition is
generally improved; convictions are
easier, and the number of cases has de-
creased perceptiSly within six months.
y prosecution for selling liquor very
rarely fails. l find that the enforce
ment of the law has had very benefi-
cial effect upon pauperism, and it is
safe to say that Notwithstanding the
fact that the large towns in Kansas i'll
creased in population very rapidly, and
thus increased the per centage of pau
perism-because in all densely popula-
ted communities there is greater per
centage of pauperism than in the rural
districts-that Notwithstanding these
facts, there is a decrease of pauperism
in Kansas of almost so per cent"

y dispatch from Wichita says that
the sheriff of Clark county, with a posse,
followed one Capt. links, notorious
horse-thief, who had escaped from the
Ashland jail, on Thursday, into No
Mans Land, and finding Jinks and a
confederate in dug-out, the posse pro-
ceeded to shoot them to death, against
the protests of the sheriff. The people
of Clark and Meade counties are des-
perate, so frequent has horse stealing
become, and they now propose to kill
every thief they find, without waiting
for the slow course of court justice.
The night after the killing several 9TH
er horses were stolen from Clark coun-
ty, and more killing may be expected.

Governor Hill, of New York, last
week paralyzed the republicans by pub
hely announcing that he was for Grover
Cleveland for president, and would take
delight in going to the st. Louis con-
vention in the interest of Mr.. Cleveland.
This, then, completely sets at rest the
senseless rumors that Mr.. Hill would
contend with Mr.. Cleveland for the
New York state delegation. 1t also
means that if there ever were any diff
ferences between the friends of these
two distinguished democrats, that they
have been amicably arranged. Even
Editor TomlinsOn, of Topeka, the only
democrat in the state that was support
ing Mr.. Hills candidacy, is now for
Cleveland.
