"GAZETTE Gas.

Tuesdays Abilene Gazette has an
editorial article devoted to Senator
Ingalls's recent speech on the pen
sion bill. That paper thinks the
senator is sorry for having made
that speech. That organ also says:
The result of listening to his hot-head-
ed, fool friends, who do not know that the
war is over, is that he has been excluded
from the white house, where he will never
again be recognized; he was rejected as a
member of the Loyal Legion, etc.
That paper concludes this article
by saying:
The Gazette is sorry Senator Ingalls, is
in his present dilemma, but it will teach
him lesson he will not be likely to forget
very soon. Further, it will have the eff
feet of putting an end to the bloody shirt
business in the politics of this country.
It occurs to the WORLD that the
Gazette is over solicitous for the sal
walton Of Mr.. ingalls,. He has, in
the course of public life not desti-
stute of length, proved fully able to
take care Of himself. 1t may not
have been just the proper act for
him to speak in disrespectful terms
of Mr.. Cleveland; yet, we submit
that no man in the country, be he
Democrat or mugwump, would, in
view of the life Of Mr.. Cleveland
prior, at least, to his election as
governor Of New York, be willing
to meet Mr.. ingalls, in disputation
upon this subject either on the fo-
rum or in the press!
Whether Mr.. Ingalls, will ever
again be admitted to the white house,
is question which we do not con-
cede the Gasette's ability to answer
at present.
Mr.. Ingalls's application for mem
bership into the Loyal Legion was,
as we remember the matter, with
drawn, thus leaving it question
whether he would have been black
balled had vote been reached.
But the Gazette evidently had an
eve on the rhetorical rule which re.
quires that the close of an article
contain the acme of elegant thought
and expression. At any rate, it is a
startling proposition that Senator
Ingalls's speech twill have the effect
Of putting an end to the bloody
shirt business in the politics of this
country That paper simply mis-
interpreted the relations between its
desire and the cold fact. The
bloody shirt policy is that a free vote
and fair count are guaranteed to
the voters in this country by our
. national constitution. Until this
ideal Of free government is realized,
the bloody shirt policy will be in full
force. It's effect will gain ground as

THE Iowa house of representatives,
contrary to public expectation, defeated
the proposed municipal suffrage bill.
Thus it is that, whether for better or for
worse, Iowa falls below Kansas in yield
ing homage to the ladies. We incline to
believe that that state is not in as great
hurry on this subject as Kansas has
been. The attitude of Iowa as Kansas
follower on the subject of legal prohibi-
ton is, by this new move, all the more
definitely stamped. But mark this: Iowa
will yet test, by statutory enactment, the
policy of granting municipal suffrage to
women!

FORESTRY STATION IN FORD

FORESTRY STATION IN FORD.
In the Business Review Of Dodge
City and Ford County, 1885," pub
lished by the Dodge City Times, the
following article appears concerning
the State Forestry Station down
there:
The naturally treeless plains of West.
ern Kansas make tree culture subject of
the highest importance, and it is matter
of congratulation that the last legislature
made an appropriation for the establish
ment and maintenance of Forestry Sta
ton at Dodge City. The ground secured
for the purpose comprises 100 acres, two
and one half miles east of town, on Mill
tary avenue. This is all securely fenced,
and other improvements are we'll under
way. The work of blowing and planting
the ground was commenced last spring,
and fifty five acres were prepared. Most
of this has been planted with the seeds of
nearly all of those varieties of trees which
can be grown successfully in this latitude.
A large number of forest trees have been
transplanted, among them number OF
very large ones, some more than foot In
diameter at the ground. Besides the for
est trees, a number of apple and other
fruit bearing trees, some of them well
grown, have been set out. Over one hun
dred bushels of black walnuts have been
planted this winter, and by spring the
preliminary work will have been well adj
vanced.
The purpose of the station is both prac-
teal and experimental. It will be a
source from which any one who wishes
tree seeds or cuttings can besupplied free
of charge, and it is also part of the de-
sign to undertake experiments for the
purpose of demonstrating the most profit
able kinds of trees to grow, as we'll as the
best manner of cultivating them.
The station is under the management
of Mr.. George V. Bartlett, of Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, who has given this business his en-
tire attention for over twenty years, and
understands it very thoroughly, both from
practical and scientific standpoint.
Under his management the Forestry Sta
ton is destined to become of very valu-
able assistance to the progressive farmers
of Ford and adjoining counties.

laughter touched the maternal chord
in Dorothy's heart: She went 4 littis

Dobbs began to look .anxiously for her
spouse's return. She had quite decid-
ed that she would keep the child, but
still there were questions to be asked
-preliminaries to be settled. The boy
must be hers entirely. None must
over claim him, or interfere with his
welfare. Mr.. Dobbs came leisurely
up the garden at his usual hour, car
rying his tish-bag. His stolid face
changed a little wien he looked
through the window and saw the child
on his wlfe's knee.
"He is pretty boy, Dorothy" he
sold nervously, when he came near.
"A darling little boy: mean to keep

MIR Dobbs drew nearer to his wife.
"Dorothy, he ought to belong to

The lady put down the child from
her knee. His large blue eyes gazed
in wonder at this sudden rejection.
"What is the boys name?" said
Mrs. Dobbs, breathlessly.
"Henry," he rejoined, slowly.
"But Henry What?" she asked, more
sharply.
"Henry Morrison. He is your sis.

Mrs. Dobbs fell back on the sofa

Perhaps the lady was very conscious
