John Jordan, a colored night prowler,
was found tip-toeing along the street yester-
day morning at 5:45 o'clock with chicken
fondly pressed to his diaphragm. Such
affection for the early biru, displayed at
such an unreasonable hour, was considered
decidedly suspicious by policeman, who
was on the other side of Jordan, watching
his movements carefully, and SO Jordan
was taken to the barracks, divorced from

IN THE COTTON STATES.

Compared with the estimated actual
yield by states in 1SS7-'SS the correspond
ents'. totals this year indicate that in only
two states, Texas and Tennessee, will any
increase be shown, while in Florida the
yield is about stationary. The Texas fig
ures, it will be seen, are little in excess Of
last year. Compared with the correspond
ents' estimates one year ago, only three
states, viz, Texas, Tennessee and Florida,
show a yield equal to last year, that
Of 1887. Compared with last years
actual yield, the decreases vary from
per cent. in Virginia, Missouri aud Indian
territory to 10 per cent. in louisiana The
decreases elsewhere range from 10 per cent.
in Arkansas and IL per cent. in North
Carolina, Alabama aud Georgia to Is and
10 per cent. decline in South Carolina and
Mississippi. The increase in Tennessee
amounts to 10 per cent. In the light Of
present information aud considering the
margin Of error between tue total estimated
by correspondents last year aud the actual
yield, the above report may be said to indi-
cate a yield of TO per cent. less than the
1887 yield, or a crop Of $500, 900 TO $780, 900
bales

naath Of Mas Ida Cnnr.

Miss Ida Cour, fourteen years Of age
a student of the Normal, who was re-
ported in these columns Sunday as
improving from serious illness of sew
eral weeks, was taken worse that even
ing and died the same night at
$50. Although she had been
dangerously ill, yet her parents,
who have been with her for
several days, and her friends, who
have visited her frequently, all
thought she was improving and pre-
parations were being made to remove
her to her home to-day, and the an
nouncement of her death was shock
to all.
The remains were put on yesterday
afternoons train and taken to her
home in Pontiac, Butler county.
Miss Fannie Turner, room mate and
very intimate friend of the deceased,
accompanied the bereaVed parents to
their home.
The faculty and students of the Nor
NAL gathered in the assembly room Mon
day afternoon and marched in body
to the rooms of the deceased and fol-
lowed the remains to the First Meth
odist church. where services were held.
The musical part of the programme
was conducted by Prof. Penny. assisted
by members of the faculty and pupils.
The scripture reading was by Prof.
Kelly and Rev. Sargent followed with
very impressive and consoling remarks.
He was followed by President Taylor,
who made some very affecting remarks
on the young life just departed and the
| lessons drawn from the bereavement.
| Prof Hill closed the services with
prayer, after which the felIOw-students
and friends of Miss Cour were given
an opportunity TO view the remains.
The coffin bore several floral offer
ings, one of which was from her class
mates and another from the Lyceum
society. The services were most effect
ing and at the conclusion of Presi-
dent Taylor's remarks there was
scarcely dry eye in the house. The
parents took the 400 train for their
home. The family and friends have
the deep sympathy of our citizens.
At d meeting of the members OF the
Lyceum society of the State Normal
:hool, Oct. %, 1888, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Almighty God in the exer-
else of his divine will, has removed
from the world and the busy cares of
| life. our beloved co-laborer and school
mate, Ida Cour.
Therefore, We. the members of the
Lyceum society, do hereby express our
heartfelt sympathy with her sorrowlng
| family. and express our deep apprecla-
ton Of the many and lasting obllgSl-
lions that we as a society owe to her,
and by words and outward tokens to
express our sincere sorrow for the IRE
parable loss our society has sustained
| BY her death.
Resolved; That the secretary be in
/ structed to cause a copy of these reso-
buttons to be published in the daily
papers in this city and that she trans
init a copy thereof to the family OF
the departed.

Over a dozen republicans of this city
went down to Olpe to take part in a
grand rally in the OIpe school house
last evening. They returned home
about 8 o'clock this morning and re-
port an enthusiastic meeting. .. j.
Priest was chairman. Speeches were
made bp Judges Graves and Fletcher,
1. E. Lambert and Fremont Miller. A
large number of ladies were present
and they apparently took as deep an
interest as their husbands, and re-
manned to the close. The glee club,
composed of Messrs. Evans, Fletcher,
the Hunter boys and Mr.. Southwark,
sang a half dozen rousing campaign
glees, among which were, ''Grand Old
Party" Don't Worry About, that
Surplus Free Trade" etc. The
meeting adjourned at 1915 and the
Emporia people were taken to the
home of S. V. Bitter, where
was served an exceedingly pala-
table luncheon. People of that
little berg say it was the largest
political meeting held there since its
incorporation. The same parties and
the glee club will be at Neosho Rapids
Friday night and Americas Saturday
night.

COLONEL HUTCHINSON of Wichita,
who has just returned from Galveston,
where he attended a meeting of the
deep water convention, says that it
was decided to memorabilia congress
for an appropriation of $4,000, 600 to
prosecute the work of preparing the
harbor so desirable on the gulf. While
Arkansas Pass, says Mr.. Hutchinson
furnishes better opportunities for a
harbor than Galveston where the work
will be more expensive, yet he thinks
that the latter city will be chosen as
the place most desirale because of its
being great railroad center, and the
site OF extensive works. Nine states
have joined in the memorial to con-
gress for the desired appropriation.

MANIToBANs are dissatisfied. They
don't like their ruler, Sir John McDon-
aid, governor of the British dominion
north of US. His policy is too Beacon
fieldian for their homely ideas of JUS
tice and fairness. The Northern Pa
cific railroad is great monopoly forced
on Manitoba by the Ottawa govern
ment. BY its charter it enjoys exclu-
sive privileges in that territory Thus
buttressed in law, it attempts to pre-
vent the building of competing lines.
The Manitobans will not be dragooned
out of their rights. They care nothing
for Sir John or the extortioning rail-
way. They insist not only on their
right to build railroad, but to sever

THE Murchison letter writer from
Los Angeles, California, to Minister
West was beyond any doubt devised to
entrap that gentleman. 1t bore date
September 4. The minister's answer
was written on the 18th, or nine days
later. Murchison asked as an English
man for information from his country
man as to which of the two great par
ties he should support, promising to
guard secretly any advice the minister
should see proper to give. The latter,
instead of telling MurchIson to decide
the matter for himself, as he should
have done, answered in general way,
and as he thought, one that would in
some manner satisfy the wishes of his
alleged countryman. These two letters
were held for more than a month, and
just on the eve of Blaine's speech to
the Irish in New York, were given out
so that the Maine statesman may use
them as he did to influence his hearers
by pointing to the English minister as
friend of the democratic party.
Blaine was smart enough to make the
best use possible of Minister Vests let
ter. The latter was absurdly indis-
Greet in answering a perfect stranger
in the way he did, even though he wrote
not as a minister, but as private citi-
zen. He would not only have been indis-
Greet to pen his political opinions to a
friend, but would have been violating
the rules governing his position as min
lister of foreign power. He was clev-
erly ambushed by some designing fell
low for political effect and may have to
pack his Valise and go home to Merry
England as penalty for being over
reached by a cunning Yankee.

ROURBONIsM.

But for the union labor movement,
Kansas would beyond any doubt be the
banner republican state in the APP
preaching election. AS it is, however,
that is somewhat doubtful. Whether
The reduction of her usually great ma
jorities is a good thing or not, may or
may not be a matter for debate. Grant
ing that it is, we believe that any fair
minded person will agree that the near
er the two great parties approach equal
ity in numerical strength the better
for the state. This, we think, holds
true of any state, no matter which par
ty predominates. Bourbonism, in
whatever party, is not. nor cannot be
beneficial, and the amount of injury
done by it depends on its extent and
duration.
Kentucky and Missouri are often
enough pointed TO as victims of bour-
bourism. 1t cannot be fairly denied
that the impeachment is to certain
extent warranted. Since the war poll
tics in both states have been one sided
to the undoubted injury of both.
They are wealthy in natural resources,
and yet are laggard IN developing
them and using the advantages and
opportunities at their command. If
parties were more evenly ball
anced, there is hardly doubt that
different story could and would be told.
Kansas may not have to confess such
backward condition of things, al
though her majority one way has been
as great or greater than either of theirs
the othe rway. And why? Because the
cases are not parallel. Kansas is a
new state and every year since the close
of the war has been receiving a contin-
uous influx of both immigration and
capital. New blood and energy have
been continually pouring into this state
all these years and taking possession
of its fertile valleys and fruitful plains,
have made them blossom like the rose.
Cities sprung up as if conjured into ex-
istence by some genii of the air. Her
plains have been girdled and gridironed
by railroads, while multitudinous in
/ dustries give employment to thousands
of her workingmen. These things can
not be said of the older states, and may
be alleged as the reasons why the evils
that afflict them cannot be predicated
of Kansas, at least not to such an ex-
tent. New settlements are always
more enterprising and progressive, as a
rule, and the rights of the citizen and
his share of liberty larger than in Older
communities.
But as time grows and wealth in
crea bourbonism, which is only an.
other name for unilateralism, or one
sidedness in politics, begins to infect
the body polite with a species of
insidious dry rot. The only remedy
such balancing of parties and pol
icies as will allow the people speedily
by change of majority to effect a
change in government and in morals
or ethics.
If parties were evenly divided, or
nearly so, in this state now, would the
large contributions for national cam
paign purposes exacted by both parties,
be made and the state depleted OF
thousands and thousands Of dollars
that will go to add to the wealth of the
eastern doubtful states? Hardly.
The money would be spent, if spent
at all, right here at home, whereas
now it goes elsewhere.
