THE plate telegraph sheet, in a
would-be scathing article on Ingalls,
and his speech on pension matters. in
speaking of the remarks on Hancock,
says: ITO class him (Hancock) as such
an ally (of rebels) merely because he
was a democrat, is to talk nonsense, as
much so as saying now that President
Cleveland is an ally of the confedera-
cy." Great Scott, who disputes the
latter assertion? Has he not proven it
by every action possible since his cleo
tion? Who but an ally of the confed-
eracy would order the captured battle
flags sent back? Who but such a per-
son would appoint an unrepentant
rebel, who defends jeff Davis in the
United States senate, to be justice of
the supreme court of the United States?
For good. square out and out rebel
one who faced his enemies on the field
of battle-we have only respect. But
for allies, who-did their fighting by
proxy, we have only contempt. The
comparison of Hancock with Cleveland
is an even deadlier insult than can be
construed out of any language used by
ingalls,, and is enough to make the dead
general turn in his grave.

THE Kansas City Times appeals to
the saloon men to support its candi-
date because he is not prohibitionist,
and appeals to the law and order men
to support him because he is-being in
favor of closing the saloons on Sunday.
The other candidate is a brewer. Be-
tween the two the prohibitionists might
make q ten-strike if they ran sure
enough temperance man. AS it is, the
leayen is working, and Missouri may
yet be redeemed from Bourbonism
through prohibition. This would be
the sarcasm of sweet recompense, mas
much as democratic money has been
poured out free as water in some por-
tions Of the union to aid the rd-party-
prohibition movement as an auxiliary
to democracy. Here is magnificent
field for prohibitionistS who are indeed
prohibitionists. In Kansas there is nc
need Of them as third party. But in
Missouri they might be enabled to die
tate terms by holding a balance of pow
er. In Kansas City to-day they are al
lowing to slip through their fingers
such an opportunity to show their
strength as may not again occur fol
some time. Where is st. John and the
other disciples of temperance, that they
are not in this fracas?

IT must have been entertaining to
have heard lot of old maids Susan B.
for instancel, in the national council of
women, discussing the difference in
sex. 1t must have been about ON par
with trackmen running locomotives
all theory. One of the ladies contrasted
their convention with Queen Victoria s
jubilee, stating that while the latter
had left nothing that would go down to
future ages as having benefited the
world at large, the former had come
together with their best thoughts and
best efforts, and that their delibera-
tions would have their effect for ages.
Yet this dear, darling old maid forgot
to mention the fact that Queen Vic
toria will leave behind her something
pretty substantial in the way of pro-
geny, who will possibly be numerous as
the sands of the desert long after all
the old girls, who are now sputtering
about free love and other things they
know nothing about except in theoryE
are entirely fOrg often.

SCIENTIFIC men who have made a
careful study of soils and crops assert
that severe drouth is valuable, if not
necessary, every eight or ten years, in
order to bring up from the depths of
the soil certain chemical elements
which are necessary to supply those
which are taken from upper strata by
successive harvest. They also say that
deep, hard freezing in the winter pull
veriZes the soil and renders it more pro-
ductive the nsxt summer, and then
when summer or severe drouth is fol-
lowed by a winter of severe cold the
soil is enriched enormously by chemi-
cal elements necessary to the produc-
ton of good harvests. If these obser-
ers are correct-and their ideas agree
with the experience of practical, OBJ
serving farmers-we may confidently
expect abundant crops in Kansas this
year:-Kinsley Mercury.
