In the nomination of Mike Sutton for
representative, the Republicans of Ford
county have chosen man of great men,
tai force. It is an honor to a county to
be represented by such man. Western
Kansas, as far as her relation to state
affairs is concerned, needs nothing else
so badly as really able men in the legis-
lature. During the Legislative session of
1887, Ford county's representative did
not reach Topeka. He was at home,

that a railroad with its headquarters
at Chicago. would lose nearly IS a
ton by buying English rails at s25
a ton under free trade, instead of
taking American rails at current
prices. He shows that If such .
railroad sent a ton of old rails to
England and brought back ton of
English rails in exchange, it would
have to pay 1884 in cash to cover
the difference in their value. But
as it sends its rails to an American
mill, and takes a ton of American
rails to replace them, it has to pay
but $3.50 to coyer the difference.

DOWN IN FINNEY.

Sol Miller, in the Troy Chief
thus tells how the fraudulent beat
ing of man for the legislature
down in Finney county works. This
is not very encouraging to perpetra-
tors Of fraud in politics in other
places in Kansas:
After sulphurious fight made against
Charley Jones for the Republican nomi-
nation for representative of Finney
county, he has scooped them badly,
carrying about two-thirds of the dele
gates. At first they started out with the
old Jones-Myton fight; but the town of
Lakin having been cut off into another
county, with no chance to ring in its
large fraudulent vote, Myton withdrew,
and John Speer was put on the track, but
not to win. Two years ago Jones was
elected representative, but was counted
out by means of a heavy fraudulent vote
at Lakin. Jones contested, and the
house sent down there a special COM
mittee to investigate the matter. It was
one of the most shameful and scoundrelly
pieces Of business ever enacted. The
committee was picked out by Myton's
strikers, and was selected for the purpose
of reporting in his favor. They made up
their decision before starting to investi-
gate, then went down there on q big
drunk. They made sort of farcical pre-
tense of investigating, then came back
and reported in favor of Myton. A
charge of bribery was made against two
members of the committee, and that had
to be investigated. The whole business
cost the state over 500. We heard
Myton's henchmen about the hotels say
ing that Jones was dead, and could never
again get anything in that county; but it
seems that in the very next campaign, he
has at least got very large majority of
the delegates to the convention.

TREES ON WESTERN PRAlRlEs,

TREES On WESTERN PRALRLES.
The Western Tree Planter has
this to say upon subject which is of
vital concern to people who intend
to live in western, Kansas. These
remarks are splendid endorsement
Of the teachings Of the WORLD con-
corning tree-growing on the plains.
The necessity Of caring closely for
trees out here, and the value and
charm which success in their cult
walton is to impart to this region,
were considerations which beamed
brightly beneath the forestry legis-
lation in Kansas: 'In growing
trees on our western prairies," says
the Tree Planter, "better care must
be taken of them than in the East,
where there is more rain and the
climate is more favorable. Con-
slant, unremitting work, care and
attention must be given to them the
first few years, or failure is certain.
Remember you are not back East,
where the whole atmosphere is filled
with leaves and moisture, and where
trees grow almost spontaneously;
but you are in the West, surrounded
by treeless prairie, where the rain
fall is light and the air dry. You
can not carelessly set ouA lot Of
trees and expect them care for
themselves. lie you are going to
grow trees, you must make up your
mind to work them, or you would
better let them entirely alone"

GREAT Value OF TREES.

To traveller passing through Kansas by
any of the great lines of transportation by
which it is traversed, it is quite apparent
that the importance of tree planting is
not yet fully apprehended in that state.
OF course, much has been accomplished in
this direction in certain localities. but q
vast deal Of work yet remains to be done
before the state as q whole can hope to
realize those advantages which it may Sc
cure by the cultivation of timber. Kansas
has its Arbor day, and as a rule it is quite
generally observed. An adherence to this
beautifying the towns and cities of Kansas
with an abundance Of fine shade trees,
but its effect upon the state at large has
been scarcely perceptible. Kansas is
really an empire within ITSELF It en-
braces 81 .3l8 square miles of territory, and
it is only when this vast area is considered
that the magnitude Of the work to beac-
compished in the development Of the state
can be fully oomprehended. The territory
for two hundred miles west of the eastern
line shows the benefits of labor which has
dotted it with groves and sheltered it with
trees. Within this limit the rainfall is
reasonably sure and agriculture may be
prosecuted with a certain hope ofsuccess.
That this result has followed largely "a
the natural sequence of the growth offor-
ests and orchards cannot be doubted by
any one who has ever given any attention
to the subject Of trees and the influence
which they exert upon climatic condi-
ions.
Thewestern half of Kansas is, compara.
lively speaking, destitute Of trees, and as
q result agriculture in that section of the
state 10 80 as to render it q very pre-
csrious pursuit The unsheltered plains
are at the mercy of the hot winds which
too often sweep over them and BLIGHT in

that much could be done to make the

FACT rs. F4LL4CY,

Judge John Martin, in his recent
speech at Wa-Keeney, asserted that
the present tariff Of forty-seven pei
cent. is forty-seven per cent. interest
upon the capital Of American man.
ufacturers. How a man who is al
once so intelligent and genteel as
Judge Martin can take a position
which is so manifestly absurd, it is
difficult to tell. The practical work
ings of protection bristle with the
plainest Of negatives Of this much
harped-upon Democratic theory.
We proceed to display one of these
negatives: The Democratic doctrine
of tariff for revenue only, which is
merely another name for free trade,
is that the American price of a pro-
tected article is as much as the Brit
ish price, including the cost of
transportation and the duty in the
American tariff. If so, then the
price of a ton of steel rails in this
country is made up as follows:
o. The price at the English mills ST.
(O The cost of transportation. 325
9 The American tariff duty..... 17.OO
Total .$42OO
But the actual selling price of
steel rails at American mills is
$3.50 a ton, or $l1.5O less than the
free trader says it will be under pro-
lection. Now, as we make 2, 1OO,-
600 tons a year of steel rails, here is
a "tax" of $24.15O.OOO a year, which
the free trader declares our manu-
facturers are enabled by the tariff to
levy upon our railroads, but which
they do not collect. Who will as
sert that American manufacturers
are not a magnanimous set of men?
Ii they are not too good to live,
there is hitch in free-trade logic.
