But admitting for the sake of argu

is it not time for the people to seriously
consider some method of reform in the
matter of conducting primaries? The
people can not afford to have the very
source of their influence in politics

-[Kausas City Journal. The 9ourna'
alludes to the Democratic caucuses in
Kansas City last Saturday night. In
speaking thus, that paper strikes a right
eous blow at a terrible curse which is
known in many places outside of Kansas
City! The use of money, misrepresenta-
ton and intimidation to defeat the will
of the majority is thing which no fair
minded American will tolerate without

The Praviess Farmer thus sums up our
notion of where to 60 in summer: "Every
farmer should have a little temperate
zone of shelter and shade, and fruit and
flowers and the aromas of fir and ferns to
which he can retire for his sojourn OF
vacation, and play that he has gone on a
summer tour. In truth there are very
few city folks who can be sure of such a
pleasant resort, so near to fresh eggs and
butter and vegetables and fruit" In our
agitation, prolonged and somewhat
potent, in favor of the foresting of west
ern Kansas, we have sought to make
possible for every farmer this 'little
temperate zone of shelter and shade
etc. We are equally pronounced in
favor of our people in the towns making
provisions fort same enjoyment.

Emancipation Day Fight.
Hill City Reveillt


Frank kirkpatrick, a young man from
Graham township, and Will Kirtley
(colored of Nicodemus, got into quar-
rel at the latter place Wednesday, August
l, in which Kirkpatrick received several
bad cuts about the neck and face from 9
razor. Sheriff Stotts promptly arrested
Kirtley, and brought him to this city with
him in the evening, where he is now in
custody.
kirkpatrick was taken to a doctors
Office, where his wounds were dressed
after which he was taken home The
fever from the wounds in such no,
weather will make his case a very serious
one, if not fatal. The fight would have
caused several others had it not been fol-
the prompt action of sheriff and his
deputies.

Free Whisky and the Answer.
National Republican


The Democrats, as usual, are falsely
stating the position of the Republican
party. Amongst other things they say
the Republican platform is for "Free
Whisky" Here is what the platform
says:
The Republican party would effect all
needed reduction of the national revenue
by repeating the taxes upon tobacco,
which are an annoyance and burden to
agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used
in the arts and for mechanical purposes
and by such revision of the tariff laws as
will tend to check imports of such
articles as are produced by our people,
the production of which gives employ
ment to our laborers, and release from
import duties those articles of foreign
production Except luxuries) the like of
which cannot be produced at home.
If there shall still remain a larger
revenue than is requisite for the want of
the government, we favor the entire re-
peal of internal taxes rather than the
surrender of any part of our protective
system at the joint behest of the whisky
trusts and the agent of foreign man
ufacturers.
If after reading that platform any
Democrat still asserts that the Republi-
can party is in favor of Stree whisky
there is only one reply to make him, and
that is the answer to little Johnnie's
conundrum, Johnnie said: 'sThat girl is my
SISTER and that boy is my brother, but
they are not brother and sister" The
only correct answer to this conundrum is
@Johnnie lied" And that is the correct
answer to the Democratic cry of free
whisky"

COLONEL INGERsoIL says if he were gov

the night and cut off his head with an Ak,
he'd give her public reception. This
may be pretty strong talk, but the best
way to prevent this beastliness on the

misnamed husbands, is for decent men to
speak against it in terms whose positive
ness will admit of no double construc-
ton.

rites being witnessed by all the inmates of
the institution and a gooly number of
other ex-Confederate soldiers and their
wives. A detail of old veterans acted
as pall-bearers, who bore the re-
mains of their late comrade to the
grave yard, beautifully located in the
northwest corner of the grounds. Re-
ligious ceremonies were conducted at the
grave by Rev. w. W. Pinson, pastor of the
Tenth Street Methodist Episcopal church,
who read from the Ninetieth Psalms and
Fifteenth Corinthians. The reverend
speaker paid beautiful tribute to the
dead soldier. The deceased was native
of Ohio; served as a private in "Co.
A." Whitfeld's Legion of Texas cavalry,
and was SO years of age at the time of his
death.
With bowed, uncovered heads, those
battle Scared and MANNED old veterans
stood reverently around the grave and
listened to the solemn words of warming
to the living, as they fell from the lips of
the eloquent divine who addressed them.
The sad services concluded, these old SOL
diers heaped the CT Id clods of earth upon
the coffiu, and rounding them off, another
mound marked the last resting place of
one more old Couf, dsrate gone to answer
to his name at the last roll call.

effective supervision is essential TO an
efficient system of public free schools. l
should add that I do not believe that
the union of the duties of school supervi-
sion with those of any other Office is just
to the interests of the schools. Surely the
school affairs of any county in the state
are entitled to the care, attention and
personal service of some able and ener-
getic officer.
But let us consider briefly what the
common schools ought to do. What ought
the public schools to undertake? 1t is
important to consider first in this con-
nection, what is the primary aim of the
common school. 1t is not to train children
to make living. That object, if at
tanned, is attained as an incident. The
primary object, the object which grows out
of the essential principles on which
education rests is good citizenship. To
help people TO take care of themselves is
charity, often blessed and holy, sometimes
a curse to both giver and receiver; but
charity has nothing to do with education
by the state. The primary aim of this
education ls to so train men and women
that they shall maintain the stability of
society. The education which fits for
good citizenship protects property, pre-
serves liberty, and promotes the happi
ness of all the people. This, then, is the
education which the state should furnish.
1t must train the child in his entire Ia
ture, mentally, morally, physically. It
must do this, not vaguely and theoretic
ally, but practically and effectively. The
thorough development of an intelligent
and upright manhood and womarhood
will insure good citizenship. 1t can be
secured in no other way.
At the conclusion of the address Pro-
fessor Henry made a brief but very inter
esting speech, after which some routine
business was disposed of. A resolution
thanking The STATESMAN for courtssies
shown the teachers was unanimously
adopted, and the meeting adjourned.

THE PECOS COUNTRY.
Irrigation the Order of tho Day
Out There.
Mammoth Vegetables and a Great
Variety of Them-Flowing
Arteslan Wells.

In COW ersation with Col. f. B. Chill
ton, of the Texas immigration association,
he speaks in the highest terms of Pecos
city, his home, and the Pecos valley.
He says: "Irrigation ditch companies
are being organized to irrigate the Pecos
valley, and am authorized by some of
the com panies to say that they will be
ready to furnish all the water needed for
the crop of 1885,"
"What is the volume of water in the
Pecos river?" asked the reporter.
"Ths Pecos is a curious stream, running
more water in summer than in winter,
from the fact that it rises in the Rocky
mountains and is fed in summer by the
melting SHOWS. 1t is about 1920 miles
long, and at or near Pecos City it's vol
ume now is between 1000 and 1900 cubic
feet, which is amply sufficient to irrigate a
vast area"
Have you any other water facilities ?"
ooh, yes, seven miles to the
south of Pecos City is lake
covering ten or twelve miles, and
furnishing splendid bathing, boating
hunting-a regular sportsman's paradise,
where great varieties of water fowl are
found summer and winter. Then we have
many artesian wells in and near Pecos
City, all blowing and throwing out i'm
mense quantities of water. A three inch
we'll up there, flows water sufficient to
irrigate thirty acres of land The cost
of good well, including casing, is from
$3.50 to $400."
"How do crops thrive there?"
EARNING in the PeoOs valley has been
carried on for many years by irrigation,
and it is very successful and profitable,
and gardening near Pecos City is very
satisfactory. AS fine vegetables and as
great variety as raised anywhere In
Texas are grown there. Colonel Sellers
would find it veritable barrier against
epidemic cholera, as turnips grow to per-
lection, and frequently weigh twenty
pounds each, and this is common.
Cabbage also thrive we'll, and
heads weighing thirty to fifty pounds
are common. All kinds of vegetables
grow we'll, and they compare in size and
quality to any grown anywhere i'm Cali
fornia. The altitude of Pecos City is
2,70O feet, and the climate is delightful.
Asthma, bronchitis, caCarrh and all pull
monary complaints are speedily relieved
out there"
~ am satisfied that when we get our
irrigation we'll to work we will have the
greatest and most desirable country on
earth. Come out and set US and learn
for yourself"

TIE RIVERS ASCENT.
The Cost of irrigation as Esti-
mated by Engineer Pope.

The Cost of Irrigation as Esti-
mated by Engineer Pope.
Engineer Pope, who has been engaged
in making survey of the river for irri-
cation purposes, has discovered its. fall to
be as follows:
From $50 yards below the Chambers
mill to the foot of Congress avenue, 8 feet
in 212 miles.
From Congress avenue to Taylor's lime
chute, feet in miles.
From Taylor's lime chute to Mormon
falls, 211s feet in K mile.
From Mormon falls to Bull creek, 10
feet IN miles.
From major Bull creek falls to upper
Minor falls, l 3 feet in mile.
From Minor falls to mouth of the creek,
3 feet in p miles, The distance, follow
ing the river, ls 1212 miles.
The surface of the water at Bull creek is
~ feet lower than the bank or site
ON which stands Chambers mill. This
will necessitste dam at Bull creek 80 or
3S feet high, the cost of which is estimated
at about $4,000. The canal from there
to Chambers mill, for irrigation purposes
only, it is estimated will cost $160,000
making the total cost 100000.
To give the canal capacity sufficient
to irrigate 10000 acres of land and fur
nish 1,400 horse power for manufacturing
purposes, will require dam about AZ feet
high ct Bull creek. This canal extended to
Webberville will cost, including the dam
$6SO,OOO.
The above figures are not accurate, but
nearly so. Mr.. Pope will have his report
ready to present to the Board OF Trade
next Tuesday.
