SILK CULTURE.
No. ).

Copy of my report to the department
of agriculture. The one-fourth Of an
ounce of silk warm eggs of the yellow
annual variety sent me for experiment
last April by the commissioner, arrived
in good condition by mail the Goth, and
all Matched out the 2Sth and 2Sh inst. /
fed a portion with Usage hedge leaves
and a part with Russian mulberry
leaves. I also placed a portion on the
hedge to feed themselves. Those fed |
placed on sheets of paper in an upper
room well lighted and ventilated to in
sure perfect health, and fed them regu-
lorly twice day, morning and evening,
removing the litter daily. When they
finished feeding i'll thirtyfour to thirty
six days placed around the room racks
for spinning the cocoon on. These We're
made of lath cut into three strips and
nailed on each side of five-eighth inch
strips two inches wide. The strips were
one and onehalf inches apart
and opposite the spaces on the other side.
The worms climb up the strip and spun
between them some 800 or 700 on each
four feet square rack. Those on the
trees spun between leaves. 1t required
them over one day longer to complete
their growth than those confined in the
room on account of the average higher
temperature in the room than outdoors.
Those in the open air grew some larger,
though they experienced several severe
rain and wind storms, which did not ap-
pear to inconvenience them in the least.
| could see little difference between those
fed on Usage or mulberry. If there was
any difference it was in favor of the
Usage. Those outdoors were perceptibly
superior to those fed indoors. smoth-
cred two frames of cocoons, one fed on
Usage and one on mulberry, by placing
them in the steam laundry while they
were at dinner. The temperature was
sent by the Wichita board
The balance of the cocoons allowed to
thirteen days. They Matched mostly in
the morning of each day, which | left
until evening when | removed
the females and placed them on sheets of
to lay eggs, which they did
during the following night. OF the
80, 900 eggs sent me | lost comparatively
none.
The conclusion I arrive at is that Kan

country needs. All we want is protec-
tive tgriff on imported raw cocoons and
reeled silk to encourage the enterprise
here which when once established the in
1ustry will take care of itself.

SPONTANEOUS ENDORSEMENT.

The great metropolitan Republican
dailies all over the country, without ex-
ception, unite in praise of the ticket,
Harrison and Morton. Even those who
opposed it the strongest come to its sup
port in the strongest terms. The Repub-
lican press throughout the country not
only give an earnest support to the
nominees, but is enthusiastically for the
ticket. Nearly all of the Democratic
papers Of any note concede that the
ticket is strong and clean. Leading Re
publicans everywhere unite in praise of
the ticket and in congratulating the
party and the Chicago convention on its
success in securing such leaders.
Not only is this true of the press of the
country, but the outpouring of the people,
even on the shortest notice, and their
all but wild enthusiasm over the ticket
at every ratification meeting held indl-
cate the popular estimate Of them. Yes
the country is already enthusiastic in the
campaign, and everything now indicates
that it will exceed, on the Republican
side, anything in the history of the party
in enthusiasm and solid work, foretell-
ing with almost unerring certainty not
only the election of Harrison and Nor
ton, but the redemption of congress
from the Democracy, thus regaining full
and absolute control Of the governmet
once more.

CALTFORNIAN'S OPINION OF

why it merits my admiration: Its be-
cause they have a country, the basis Of
creating monarch enterprises and men
of ability TO sustain them, a climate
pure. genial and unadulterated with an
abundance Of forage and living streams
of pure water, as the herds of fat cattle
bear evidence. And the man of arnbi-
ton need not roll his blankets and tramp
for the green fields Just beyond, . for,
verify, they are here; for behold the
beautiful sight. the field of golden grain
ripe for the sickle vieing with the dark
deep green of neighboring corn. And /

those who have home or possessions in
Kansas to stay, to that Of sacrificing and
going. as many contemplate. 10 the far

DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.

Marsh Murdock's boom as Republican
candidate for governor Is not spreading as
fast as the grasshoppers did few years
ago If the next governor must be he
publican we would rather see Marsh get
there than any rep" we know; he would
do something for the central and western
part of the state-Harper Seminal.
The next governor ''must' be Re-
publican, that's fixed, but its the misfor-
tune of the editor Of the EAGLE in the
instance of the Sentinal's provisional
support, that the Democratic votes don't
count in Republican conventions. and
there is no show for Democratic paper
beating the Republican nominee with
Republican or with anybody else. New
er mind, Isey, you may not live to be
Republican, however, don't put it off too
long for we can't live through many
more such administrations. AS for the
central and western part of the state,
its getting wedged into us that they are
going to take care Of themselves and
that in the near future.

a SQUARE BACK DOWN.

Pennsylvania, on his own responsibility.
made them than two propositions We'd
nesday. The first was that. as the tariff
issue between the two parties had been
squarely made, the Mills bill should now
be laid over until next session. the Re-
publicans engaging to then offer no
opposition TO it if the people in the mean
while should have reelected Mr.. Cleve-
land. and the Democrats engaging 10
drop it if the people in the meanwhile
should have elected General Harrison.
The second suggestion was that the
house should at once, by way of dealing
practically with the surplus problem,
pass bill repeating the entire internal
taxation on tobacco. Mr.. Mills. of Texas.
rejected the first suggestion as inadmis-
sible, and proposed instead that an early
day be fixed for taking the vote on this
bill. Mr.. Kelly's object was fully accom-
plished by the little incident; the hypoc-
risy Of the tariff reformers were clearly
demonstrated and their real purpose
shown TO be to demagogue the people by
making show Of etfo,t in their behalf.

Well, he's here, all the same. There
lives at LaCygne, Linn county, this

Gated gentleman-of progressing ap-

he IS the next thing to it-at least, as

their mothers were sisters, and this, SO

more OF personal knowledge of the
colonel, but as he is private citizen, his
modesty might interpose an objection.
But he will not object, / hope, to our
this brief reference to
him with a statement or two gathered
from friendly associations with him.
Colonel James F. Harrison is several
years the senior of our distinguished
candidate for the presidency. He re-
ceived a military education and grad
uated from the United States military
academy, if not in the class with Z. S.
Grant, at least, not more than year
afteward. He was an officer in the
army that invaded Mexico, as also a
colonel in the late civil war. Several
years ago he wrote for the La Cygne
Journal, series of letters, in which are
sketched recollections of
amusing incidents in his experiences
while in Mexico, and anecdotes of and
reflections upon quite number of men
who had been associates of his in earlier
life and who have since risen to emil
hence, distinction or otherwise.

In his little speech to the committee
that visited Washington last week and
notified him of his denomination by his
party as president, MIR. Cleveland said:
Il knew then -four years ago. of abuses,
OF extravaganza in the management of
public affairs" but it seems he did not
know anything of the unparalleled ex-
travagance, amounting to three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, in the depart
ment of justice, being allowances for the
payment of assistant counsel in prosecut-
ing certain cases in the federal courts
wherein the solicitor of the treasury
should have rendered the necessary as
sistance, for which he is employed and
paid by the government, fraud so pal
pable and glazing that Mr.. Randall, the
ablest Democrat in the house, was con-
strained to rise in his peace and oppose
the proposed appropriation and declare
that the department should be termed
rather the department of injustice. This
little incident was of too recent date to
have caught the attention of the coun-
trys great and only temporal savior.
How striking the contrast presented by
the facts of the situation between the
present administration and that of Mr..
Cleveland's most recent predecessor, Mr..
Arthur, upon whom Cleveland's assever-
tons cast an aspersion, or are so meant?
The administration of President Arthur,
and we mention his because it is of the
most recent date and its history most IA
miliar to the people, was so successful and
so honestly and wisely conducted, that all
parties united in its praise, and among
all the hundred thousand Republican of
flee holders displaced by Mr.. Cleveland's
administration, not a single important
trust was found to have been betrayed.
Every intelligent man in the country
knows this, and even Mr.. Cleveland
would know it if he had room in his linn
tied intellect for anything but his own
egotism.

The Abilene Gazette bears to its read
ers the doleful intelligence that Colonel
Bierer, who has twice been honored by
the Democrats of the First congressional

gress, has bolted Cleveland and Thur

its readers posted upon every such occur
renee that takes place in the country

About the only comfort the Democrats
find at present. is in the very rare state
ment that some prominent Republican is
not altogether pleased with the platform
adopted at Chicago. The latest instance
of this kind is the case of eX-Msyor Low,
of Brooklyn. N. Y, who preferred the
platform of 1884. The Democrats jump
to the conclusion that Mr.. Low will bolt
the ticket on that account, but he has
not only not said anything that would
bear out that idea, but has expressed his
entiresatisfaction with the ticket and will
support it. Republicans who are such
from convictions, will support both the
ticket and platform, though the first may
not have been their personal choice of
men. nor the second meet their individ-
ual views in every detail. True, loyal
Republicans are not hair-splitters in mat
tiers affecting the welfare and success of
their party.

We quite agree with the Abilene Ga
zette that George William Curtis is no
more to the administration, and should
be given no more consideration than any
other citizen. Nevertheless it Is a fact
that a criticism from George Williams
editorial pen will bring response from
the bead of any department instanter in
explanation of the act criticised. This
more than anything else-in fact there
is nothing else-explains the head mug
wump's steadfastness to the present adj
ministration. A case in point was the
removal by Secretary Fairchild, of a
number of treasury officials for alleged
dereliction in the matter of collecting
import duties on sugar in certain cases.
The explanatory statement from the
secretary, brought ont by the editorial
criticism, was so entirely satisfying to
the personal vanity of the prime censor
that he instantly dropped the subject
without the point of his criticism, j. e.,
the utter disregard of the civil service
rules in making the official changes re-
ferred to. Great is Curtis, the mogul Of
the mugwunps.
