Judge Dewey's sarcasm on the crowd
that attended Kings trial few days
ago, was so cutting and full of irony,
that the prisoner was offended, and he
cut dirt for a more congenial cline.
Perhaps His Honor irony smacked of
thirty days behind the irony doors of
the new and stately Sheriff s-residence,
perhaps yes, perhaps no.

Suffering n Kansas.

The people all over western Kansas
are very much wrought up over the ter.
rible lying that is being done by eastern
papers. They picture out scenes of suf-
fering here that do not exist. They
tell of starvation and death by freezing,
of people who are here unknown. In
short, they lie and continue it, when
they know better.
We wish to speak for the people OF
Dighton, Lane county and western Kan
saS, and say, In short, that everything
throughout this western country is in
flourishing condition, and there is nc
suffering, nor has there been during the
whole winter. Coal, feed and provisions
are plenty and cheap. Winter wheat
looks splendid, and the people are al
enthusiastic over the prospects of
good crop year for 1888. Those who
nave friends here need have no fear OF
then starving, or freezing, or suffering
Lane county and every other county in
this part of the state is able to alleviate
any restitution that might happen tc
appear. No finer winter could be asked
for in any country than has been ex'
periencsd here. We have had nice
weather most of the time. COnsidera
BILE snow has fallen, and lately couple
of warm showers of rain. During the
whole winter literary societies have
been held throughout the county each
week, and people attend living eight OIL
ten miles away. Parties of all kind:
have been had, and the people generally
have enjoyed themselves. In DightOr
different entertainments and amuse
ments have been furnished, and on
people look for big emigration, which
has already begun. People are seek
ing homes, and are taking advantage
of our cheap lands, and are well salts
fed with the country, climate and PEG
pie. 1t is the people who know moth
ing of the country that are making thi
great howl of restitution, death ant
suffering. We are all right. and any
thing said to the contrary is all lie

OTTAWA, Oct 8O.--It is evident that the
large number OF Chinese who are arriving at
British Columbia ports from China are not des-
tined to remain in Cnnada, but are taking this
means OF smuggling themselves into the United
States ut the boundary dividing that province
from Washington Territory. They have TO pay
the $50 tax per head on landing. which they
willingly do, with the prospect OF getting Into
the United States before them.
The Minister Of Customs, who has Just re.
turned from the Pacific coast where he has
been looking into the Chinese question. says
no matter how stringent the United States laws
may be this channel will always be used by the
Chinese for that purpose. He says thsre 10 no
work for them now in Britlsm Columbia and
no inducement for them to emigrate there; so
their real object for leaving China 10 apparent
However. the Canadian customs benefits In the
per capita tax Of $50. which has to DO paid on
landing. That tho friendly relations existing
between China and Great Britain may not be
disturbed the British Government has requested
that no more stringent legislation than is now
in force may be enacted in Canada against the
