| gome Pointers for Those Who Own Sheen
| and Have stock for Sale.
| Pedigree is alike an advantage to
The one who buys. the one who owns
and to the sheep itself. Taking these
in their order: When the breeder con-
templates buying a ram to improve his
stock, as should be the aim of every
sheep-raiser. he goes to breeder who
pays strict attention to the breeding OF
the kind of sheep he intends to buy.
If he sees an animal that pleases him,
he asks: How is it bred? and if the ped
igree can be shown that gives as the
sire and dam animals well-known as
prize-winners. or from prize stock, he
is satisfied to pay big price.
Those who own sheep and have stock
for sale will find that registered stock
can be sold for nearly three times the
price of grades. 1t is a well-known
fact that no matter what a breeder
may say regarding the quality or in
dividual merit Of his flock, or tho
statement that 'they are full blood.
but can not be recorded. as no pedi-
grees have been kept of the different
animals" he can not sell them for half
the price they would bring if they
were recorded. The average price of
pure-bred sheep, without pedigrees
emitting them to registry. is eight
dollars, and the average price of reg
istered sheep is thirty-ive dollars The
one kind eat just as much as the other
and it takes about the same amount of
time and labor to raise them. Then it
is certainly great advantage to the
breeder to be able to record his flock
by having reliable pedigree for each
sheep.
Pedigreed sheep undoubtedly get bet
ter care than their common-bred rela-
tives, and fare better, as their pedi-
grees show that they can boast of SUI
perb lineage. From the time pedi-
greed lamb is dropped it's extra care
is marked, for if shepherd has a
choice pedigreed breeding eve, he will
ascertain to a day when she will lamb,
and if the weather is cold and stormy
that lamb will never be left on frozen
ground, but will be wrapped in an
Oyercoat and warmed near q fire. No
matter what time of night it makes it's
debut en- that farm. from that hour it
is watched, fed and especially cared
for. Hundreds ST such lambs, when
kept for show or breeding purposes,
are not permitted to get a drop of
rain or snow on their fleece. Then
again in the mating. care is taken
when breeding pedigreed animals to
avoid too close inbreeding and to use
such sires as have well-established
records as good individuals or prize
winners. A breeder takes pride in
to the world that his stock
is as good as he can afford to buy.
1t is hoped that every sheep-breeder
will keep accurate records of his flock,
that he may satisfy the inquiries of
buyers; establish his representations
as to pedigrees, improve his flock by
getting meritorious stock and give
such sheep the care that well-bred ami
mails deserve. In this way his profits
will be largely increased, his pleasure

THE twenty-seventh annual meeting
of the Kansas State Teachers Ass0cia-
ton will be held at Topeka, commencing
December 18th. and will continue in ses-
sion three days. This meeting promises
to be one of the most excellent educa-
tioual meetings ever held in the state,
and should be attended by every teacher
and citizen who is in sympathy with the
cause. The State Teachers Association
does not restrict itself to any particular
class, but invites to its meetings and into
its membership all citizens of Kansas
who are interested in education. Among
the prominent men who will deliver adj
dresses during the session are Governor
L. L. Humphrey, Senator J. j. ingalls,,
and DIR. w. L. Harris, National Commits
sioner of Education. Washington. Be-
sides these gentlemen, discussions will
be engaged in by professors of our state
colleges and universities. and on the
whole will be an educational treat that is
well worth the trip to Topeka. All rail-
roads in Kansas will sell tickets at the
rate of one fare for the round trip.

The railroads centering at this place
may at all times be counted with us on
the soldiers home situation. Not that
we can safely rest on our laurels, fold our
arms and do nothing more toward the
home, and rest everything, or that the
railroad companies will take care of it
for us, but that they will endorse and aid
by their power and influence any honor
able moye our people may inaugurate
for the building up, support and main
tenance of the home. So our people
want to be up and doing all we can at
home, thereby showing the good faith in
the enterprise, and when this is done
assistance will be given from all over the
state, through the representatives and
senators of the state legislature, who
will be called upon to aid this beneficent
state institution as it ought to be aided.
1t will be aided and in very substantial
manner at that. There is no valid rea-
son why it should not be unless our peO-
pie are content to let it remain as it now
is or rather allow it to take care of itself,
which would be the greatest misfortune
to the old soldier of Kansas that has
ever occurred to him. With little
pressing work he is in sight of good
home for the balance of his days.

make platforms only to fall through
them. The necessity for some action.
whereby the liberality Of the pension
laws may be increased, is apparent from
the simple statement that to-day over
twenty-eight thousand veterans of the
war are now the beneficiaries of charity
in the alms-houses of the different States.
and other charitable institutions of a
kindred nature. Massachusetts, ranks
first in this roll of dlshOnor, so far as the
government is concerned. as there are in
that commonwealth $3.50 soldiers who
received their daily bread from organized
charitable hands. In the other states,
too, there are thousands of soldiers who
now inhabit the county poor houses. 1t
must not be thought, though. that the
different states are not doing everything
in their power to alleviate the sufferings
of these old soldiers. Far different; they
are spending money by the hundred
thousand to care for their veterans. IL
linois spends $780, 900, annually to pro-
vide home for soldiers of the late war:
Pennsylvania, 100000, and the other
states in like proportion. But it is gen.
orally recognized that the time has come
for congress to SO enlarge the pension
laws, as to give pensions to old and
played-eut soldiers, even though their
disability did not occur '.in the line of
duty" similar to the practice that was
followed with the veterans of the war of

Two weeks ago We made editorial in
quiry in these columns in reference to
the foreclosure suit now pending in the
United States court against the munich
pal stockholders of the Chicago, Kansas
& Nebraska railway company. When
we published this statement we believed
Just what we said-and have not yet
been convinced Otherwise-that we
thought Ford county had no interest in
this suit, and therefore could not see the
necessity on the part of the commission
ers in appropriating funds for the de-
fence of the county's interests in this
foreclosure suit. We have since been in
formed by our county attorney that we
were mistaken, and that the county had
a bona tide claim against the said railway
company; that the transfer made in 1888
was not legally made by the county's
representative, and that to-day Ford
county is entitled to stock to the amount
of 800. 900 in the G. X. & n. r. r. We
do not wish it understood that we have
wilfully assailed the honesty of any one
in this matter, but simply made in
quiry for the reason that we, as well as
large majority of the people of Ford
county, desired light on subject con-
corning which it appears only very few
know anything at all about. When the
A. X. & c. railway was completed from
the east line of Ford county, to Dodge
City, stock was issued in said road to
Ford county, dollar for dollar to the
amount of aid subscribed. Now when
the A. X. & G. company sold this road
to the c. X. & N. company, did they in
clude in that sale the amount of the
cOunty's stock? just how. when, by
whom, and for what consideration this
sale and transfer was made is what we
desire to be informed upon. Now if
Ford county is justly entitled to this
stock in the G. X. & n, we urge the
commissioners aud county attorney to
use every honorable means to protect our
interests, and you will find the GLOBE
your most willing and ear
nest supporter. If the inquiry we made
has stirred up sufficient feeling in the
soul of some one of the few who know
all about this matter to give us, for pub
licatiOn, plain statement of facts, then
we have accomplished just what we
set out to do.

We hope the incoming board of county
commissioners will seriously consider
the proposition voted upon by our people
and carried at the November election, to
issue $1,000 in bonds, for the purchase
of one hundred and sixty acres of land
adjoining the soldiers home, for the
benefit of the home, and the construction
of an irrigating canal from the lower
ditch to said land, which sum we hope
the board will give to the committee
named by the late county convention and
make such purchase of land and con-
struct said ditch as our representatives
promised to do when the Home was
granted us. We must keep our promise
or the Home mays uffer.

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING:

From every point of the compass. east
west, north and south, come OminOu:
sounds Of discomfort, and plants of thu
people that something is wrong. Farm.
ers' conventions and labor meetings fol-
low each other in rapid succession, and
each but repeats in substance the com.
plant of the one preceding-''sOme-
thing is wrong" yet Providence never
was kinder, never were the crops more
bOuntiful, and the demand, if supplied,
would fix remunerative prices for farm
products; still prices are low aud unre-
munerative to the producer, while thous-
ands all over the country suffer for the
barest necessities of life. Why is it:
The Republican and other papers said in
'SS. just before election, that the kickers
were dry gOOds-bOx whittlers, etc., who
after one good crop, would never be
heard from more. We have the crop but
it fails to bring the relief predicted; and
instead of better it grows worse year
by year. Poverty increases and capital
lists have multiplied until about 10000
now own 63 per cent. of all the real and
personal property in the country, and
each succeeding year finds the masses
poorer and the few richer. The rapidity
of this transfer of the wealth of the
many to the few suggests the question
whittier we are drifting. There is no
way of answering it but by looking at the
past. and the retrospect, however neces-
sary, is not very encouraging. History
tells US that Egypt went down when two
per cent. of her people owned 81 per cent.
of her wealth. When Babylon went
down two per cent of her population
owned all her wealth. Persia went down
when one per cent. owned all the land,
and at the time of ROme's downfall, not
over 1000 of her citizens owned and con-
trOlled her wealth-the then known
world. In our country, in 1850, capital
ist owned 37.5 per cent. of the nations
wealth, with but one man worth over
$500, 600. Now, according to T. G.. Sher-
man-and his estimate is considered far
below the actual number-there are $50
people worth $40, coo, 900. 400 worth SlO..
OOO, 900. 1000 worth $5.OO0.OOO, $500
81, 500. 900, 1000 worth 81 ,OOO. 900, q. 900
worth $500. 900, or 81 600 owning more
than three fifths of the real and personal
property of the nation. Whittier are we
drifting, the fate of other nations tell
only too plainly. unless the people rise
in their might. and laying aside partisan
prejudice, by their ballots. put men in
our legislative halls who will outlaw rob-
berry, aud make laws which shall apply
to rich as well as poor, and protect the
public from millionaire robbers as well
as pauper thieves.

officer of the greatest legislative body in
the world is great honor and no man
could occupy such a position had not
his colleagues great respect for him both
personally and officially; and yet some
fear designing men in Kansas think that
they are called upon to defeat this man
who is such tower of strength to the
republican party of the nation and has
conferred so much honor upor his state
by his magnificent abilities. 4he repub-
licans of Kansas however know when
they have a good thing and how to keep

successor, regardless of the machina-
lions of few jim-crow. tenor-singing

insult themselves and the republican
party of the nation by RELOCATING to the
