nAeEBRUsH INTERESTS.
Selecting . MeIter and Reflner for the
Carson DIInt.

Washington Dispatch.
Senator Stewart of Nevada is prov
ing himself a man OF strong common
sense. and is winning the admiration
of men VINO differ from him politically.
Up to few days ago the Senator was
in favor of the appointment Of Parker
IA melter and refiner of the Carson
Mint, to succeed Or. Tuttle. Mr..
Parker is Republican, but skilled
workman. having been assistant melter
for several years past. IN view OF the
Presidents policy to appoint the best
men obtainable, and no Democrat
having the requisite qualifications of
fering as a candidate, there seem a
strong probability of Mr. Parker's
appointment.
Last Saturday, however, Senator
Stewart was informed that John H..
Dennis, for many years a resident OF
Nevada, and Democrat, aud thor
0ughly acquainted with the necessities
of the office, would accept the nomIn-
alton OF melter and retiner. He at
once notified the President that Den.
mis- was skilled workman, an honor
able man and entitled to the place.
HIS action received the warmest COM
mendatiOn from all to whom ii has
become known.
The squandering of 100000 of the
appropriation made by Congress to
erect u public building II Carson,
Nevada, seems to- have brought down
the wrath of the Republican press on
the present administration. In view
of tile facts this causes no little amuse-
ment here. The money Was squan-
dered while Mitiiin Bell OF Pennsyl-
vania Was supervising the regime who
werv allowed to hold over too long.
When hi. methods, however, were dis
covered, he was promptly decapliated
and MIR. Freiet, the present incumbent
was appointed.
Senator L Stewart is cognizaut of
the fact that Bell was Republican
and sqaundered the sum found To be
missing. Tie openly denounces the
latlel's admini,tratIon, and c"ngratu-
lates the President ON having found a
proper man to iill this important office,
which Republic an disgraced.

A we'll known doctor says the fumes
of kerosene when lamp is turned
low are likely TO cause diphtheria.
The New York Board of Health few
years ago decided that 10 this, more
than any other cause, the prevalence
ut this disease was TO he attributed.
This is given Us accounting for the fact
that diphtherla generally begins to
spread with the advent of short days
aud long nights. Children dislike TO
go To bed in the dark, and the kind
mother lets the lamp remain IN tie bed
room, usually turning down the n"me,
so that the light will not keep the
child awake. Many bedrooms are
thus semi-lighted all night, and the
windows being closed or raised but
slightly, the atmospheric condition is
simply deathly. A turned-down kerr
oscne lamp is q magazine of deadly
ras that the healthiest lung cannot be
safely exposed to.

this style of Dakota lie was that about

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1888-09-01

OUR esteemed contemporaries, the Kan
sas City Journal and the Sharon Springs
Times, are engaged in wrestle of words.
The journal poked fun at the Times for
spelling it 'Tippacanue." The Times
aims at it's adversary thrust below the
belt by exclaiming: "And 30, the great CD
Smart Allack' that writes up the Kan
sas items for the Journal has found a
typographical error in the Western Times;
and that error occurs when setting up the
word 'Tippacanoe' by placing the letter
'u' where there should have been an o. )"
The Times goes on belaboring the Journal
at length on the "u-for-o" point, but leaves
the reader to infer that there are two
as in Tippecanoe. This is great coun-
try. If you just know you know thing
that you don't know, it is practically the
same as if you did know it.

YES, WE REMEMBER.

Let it be remembered there are 1926
members, and but 16 of them Democratic.
No one doubts those few Democrats are a
nonenity, not only in moulding legislation
but in favors bestowed. Welost the State
Forestry station just because we had no
Republican representative, and it went to
Trego. Don't let us play the same fool
ish trick this Fall, and lose the valuable
plums that are to be picked this fall.
Let all hands, irrespective of party and
by an overwhelming vote show we appre-
ciate his Reeder's) work, and encourage
more effective work. Hays Free Press.
Freese talks foolishly. He places
only two hundred too high the
number Of members of the house.
He talks of what 1--WE ELLIS county,
lost" just as though they had had
the Forestry Station. Ellis county
has sent Republican representatives
to the Legislature. She was for
years the home Of the Republican
state senator. If either of them
ever rustled for state forestry, the
records have, as Freese would say,
been lost. Mr.. Kirkman, the present
representative of Ellis county, was
attentive to duty. He was too much
of a man to try to swindle Trego
county out of one of the state for
estries after having seen the prime
cause which lay beneath the passage
of the forestry law. Ellis county
is further east than this forestry
should have been located, and the
Free Press ought to know this. If,
in the line Of legitimate work, the
next representative of Ellis county
can secure for her state institu-
ton, or a half a dozen Of them, for
that matter, it is all right; but do
assimilate, for once, a streak of
decency, and shut up about Ellis
county having lost what she not
only never had, but what no re-.
spectacle attempt was ever made
to obtain for her!

REPRESENTATIVE men are those who
by long residence in a community have
become SO thoroughly identified with the
interests of the people, that they are able
to accurately express their sentiments
and their needs, and by personal attach
ment and sympathy can zealously work
for their advancement. Truly represen-
tative men are always needed in places of
trust, because such never betray their
constituents, the general good being their
own good Stockton Record. When it
comes to defining words, Brother Cham
bers knows his business.

exception of catalpa and mulberry, the
heavy rain having packed the ground
over these seeds SO that the little plants
could not make their way through. This
is one of the greatest difficulties met with
in obtaining stand of trees, and enc
which can hardly be overcome. No
trouble has been experienced thus far in
maintaining stand after it has once
been obtained. At least SO per cent. of
all the spring stand of 1887 has matured
into good and useful seedlings, thriving
and growing splendidly through the dry
and hot summer weather-dry enough to
affect materially most other crops. The
cottonwood and locust especially made
an almost unprecedented growth, attain
ing height of from five to seven feet
and diameter of two inches at the
ground.
At Station No. 2, in Ford county, we
have nothing but freshly-broken sod.
Yet, even on few acres of this we sue
ceeded in getting a fine stand of tree
plants; but fearful hail-storm on the
II day of June destroyed every thing.
Early in the fall I determined to dis
tribute what seedlings I had, and replant
the ground in the fall and early winter,
and caused the following notice to be
printed in several of the most prominent
newspapers in the state:
| Notice is hereby given to the people Of
the state of Kansas that the application
books of State Forestry Station No. l
will remain open for thirty days from the
date of this notice; after which time the
books will be closed, and the trees on
hand equally divided between the appli-
oants for the same, in number and kind.
The trees will be delivered at the station
free of charge after the conditions for
planting, culture and report are properly
signed, blanks for which will be furnished
Immediately to each applicant.

Having prepared as best We could some
of the ground heretofore spoken of as be-
ing broken and cultivated on Station No.

seeds, We, on the q day of April, 1887,
commenced planting our first tree seeds,
and continued planting the following
kinds, in the order named, until all the
available land was planted, to-wit: Cot
tonwood (cuttings.) black locust, honey

(speciosa,) and Russian mulberry. We
also planted some green ash. but the seed
proved to be entirely worthless. OF the

PROTECTION in GERMANY.


Its Effect on Wages-Industry Stimulated
and Prices Lessened.
A good deal is said of the fact that
wages in Germany are lower than in Eng
land, while the one is a protection and
the other a free trade country. Let the
comparison alone; the question is, what
has been the effect of the adoption of a
protective system in Germany7 In the
iron and steel industry alone the number
employed advanced in five years of pro
lection from 10000 to ga. 00aa, and the
wages of the 214,000 increas. d u

new laws affecting the customs duties

industry Of that country has made most
remarkable progress. Not only have
branches OF that industry, which were
befo,.e In the most ianguishing condition,
sprung into vigorous life, but entirely
new modes Of production have been Gre
