FROM the Leoti Transcript we
learn that 81. A. Platt, of Wichita
county, will be candidate for state
auditor. We think the announce
ment little premature, but Mr..
Platt is doubtless impressed with
the theory that "the early bird
catches the worm" We are willing
to accept the transcripts state
ments as to Mr.. Platt's qualifica-
lions. We also agree that western
Kansas should have that office. We
wish however to offer an amend
ment, and would insert northwest
Kansas in the place Of western Kan
sas. All lovers Of fair play can see
the propriety Of this amendment
without any argument in support
of it. Southwest Kansas has no
right at this time to expect that or
anv other state office. She has
more than had her share. There is
one thing, however, that we wish
to impress at this time, and that is
if we ever get anything we must
stand together, and when the prop
err time comes unite upon one can
didate. If we do not, history will
repeat itself. and northwest Kansas
will again be left. Trego county
has no candidate that we have heard
of, but geographically and otherwise
is a portion of northwest Kansas.

Of steam plows for the present.

ut the outset. We wished those
most interested to investigate for
themselves. We have no hobby
nor scheme that we wish to force

merits. II, upon Investigation, we

shall certainly say so. Not only
are the farmers of our own county
discussing the question of steam
plows, but almost every one Of our
exchanges have commented upon it
and all are anxious to see it tested.
The question now is: "Will it stand

PRoF. E. NJ. SHELTON, of the
State Agricultural College, has re-
Gently been investigating the subject
of irrigation in western Kansas, and
is satisfied that it is not practical
except on a very limited scale in the
neighborhood of the Arkansas,
Smoky and Solomon rivers, and
there the investment of capital re-
quired would be very great. We
have expressed this same idea before,
and the report of Prof. Shelton only
confirms it. In northwest Kansas
particularly. irrigation is ilnpractic-
able and impossible except at an i'm
mense outlay Of money, and even
then it would be likely to fail US at
the most critical times.

AT last the great Cronin trial is
ended, and three of the conspirators,
Coughlan, O'Sullivan and Burke,
have been sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life, Kunze for five years
and Beggs is acquitted. The jury
evidently found the three guilty of
the murder Of DR.. Cronin, and why
the extreme penalty was not i'm
posed is something that we will
perhaps never understand. We
have cause for congratulation, how
ever, that Chicago is not the health

lists and communists.

SENATOR INGALLS, has introduced
a bill providing for the division of
Kansas into two judicial districts on
the line of the Kansas Pacific rail-
way, to be called the northern and
southern districts. Those now in
Office are to be assigned to the
northern district, and the president
is authorized to appoint officials for
the southern district. There are to
be three courts in each district, to
be held in the northern district at
Topeka, Leavenworth and Hays

be held at Fort Scott, Wichita and

PRESS COMMENT.

The Wa-Keeney WORLD IS agltatlng
the scheme of Trego county bonding it's
self and buying steam pillow to open up
her prairies. The idea is an excellent
one and its feasibility should come to us
here in Cove county. Such movements
should always have the preference to
those looking toward expensive public
Improvements, buildings etc.-Quinter

It seems to be the general verdict all
over the western part of the state, that
the buffalo grass must go. Let it 60 and
quicker the better. Tall weeds would be
much better for the country, but grain,
cane, millett, orchards and groves would
far surpass either. And it is the latter

A week or SO ago we wrote second
letter to John A. Gardner, the patentee

News made mention a short time ago,
we having found his correct address

our possession and will be pleased to
show to any one who desires to know
what kind of looking thing it is. His
letter relates nothing out of which we can
give you any information as regards it
but there will be an article in the Wa

erf as soon rs we can. A sample pillow
will be sent to Trego county soon, and
then our people who are interested in its
success can have an opportunity to exam
inc its workings. We have considerable
confidence in this machine proving a
great boon for western Kansas and feel
like urging our people to enquire into it

It has been almost impossible for any
one to see and talk with Senator Plumb
during the past week. He has been
busy when on the floor of the senate;
busy when in his committee room; busy
running about the departments; busy in
the evening at his residence; in fact. too
busy to last forever. Unless the stalwart
statesman takes reef in the business
sail he is carrying he will run on breakers
and break up. No human machinery
can withstand the strain which Senator
Plumb puts upon his body and brain.
He is forever hard at work and hurrying
along in order to take up some new task
for his people,
Senator Ingalls, is as calm and cool as a
cucumber on ice. He looks placid as a
morning in May, in his chair on the floor
OF the Senate. He was magnificent pre-
siding officer, and he is typical, 1igni-
led senator. 1.-The he has heard that his
seat is to be contested and cannot be re-
tanned without hard fight, he shows no
signs OF it; for there is not line of sor-
rowing care upon his face. 1t is under
stood that he is preparing speech upon
the subject OF civil service reform II

Roosevelt, will be likely to have his tail
twisted worse than Richelieu Robinson

A NATIONAL Loss.

The death of Editor Grady of the
Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution is a loss
not alone to the city and the State in
which he lived, but to the whole nation
as well. The solution of the race
problem in the South must be wrought
out by the South. Legislation by Con-
gress can help the cOlored people to
but limited degree. 1t was tried in
Grants time, and it signally failed.
Mr.. Grady was the leader of those in
the South who are trying to assist the
negro to reach higher plane of civili-
zatiOn and to become an enlightened
and useful citizen. There may be others
to take his place, but no one had so
South as did Mr.. Grady, and the cOun-
try contains few men who are his
equals in push and energy. Chauncey
M. Depew spoke the truth when he
said of him in his speech at the New
England society's dinner in New York,
Monday night:
ga year ago, on this platform and
before this audience, he enunciated the
unheard-of principle of the new South
His speech gave him national fame and
wide reputation. He was a leader in
the South in its material development
and in its aspirations for the genuine
spirit of liberty. He was the evangel
of the new South in its enlightenment.
New York tonight, in the place where
he made his fame, recognizes that he
lost his life leading the same cause,
and mingles her tears with those of his
kindred, and offers her complete and
unanimous tribute to his talents and
his disinterestdness of purpose

LIKE LAST YEAR,

The remark is often heard nowadays
that such weather was never before
seen in Vermont. The following items
appeared in State paper on the 9th
of January last:
S. A. Richardson of Bellows Falls
picked, on Jan. 3, half a bushel of green
peas in the open field.
Mrs. E. A. Boyden of East Randolph
has picked several dozen fine blossoms
from her pansy bed within few days.
James Conkey of Orwell tapped GO
maple trees on Jan. 3 and gathered 20
buckets of sap the first run, which was
converted into syrup.
II. A. Luce of Chelsea tapped three
maple trees on Jan. about noon and
obtained A quarts of sap from them the
remain 'er of the day.
Mare slp has flowed in Springfield
for the p"ss few days, and farmers are
doing various kinds of fall and sDring
work on the land.
A game of base ball was played at
Bellows Falls Jan. 4. The soil was AS
dry and as hard as in summer, and the
air warm and clear, the thermometer
registering 600 at noon.

equate walks would cost something,
but if once put down the citizens would
undoubtedly willingly pay for them.
This sidewalk question is one which
might profitably receive the attention
of the village meeting next Wednesday.
Editor Lucius Bigelow of the Port
land Oregonian, who was soldier him
self, has this to say on the general sub
ject of pensions: "The people are just ;
they are ready to say with Secretary
Noble that the government should see
to it that no dependent veteran suffers
want or is obliged to stink to the aims
house or appeal to the cold compassion
of friends for "a little earth for charity; !
but the people are already disgusted
with the Tanner demagogue philosophy
of the endless, interchangeable debt
that the nation owes the soldier. The
spiritual obligation is unratable, un-
dischargeable, as is all sincerely unset
fish, manly, heroic public service; but
the material debt has its practical linn
tations, and no party can accept the
Tanner philosophy that the nation owes
the soldier the earth and the govern
ment must give it to him by instalments
whenever, speaking by the Tanners,
he wants it,

NOTE AND COMMENT.

A boom for Mr.. Blaine for President in
1892 begins to make itself heard in West
ern papers. 1t has as yet attained no
great dimensions.
The Senate has confirmed the nonina-

as governor of Alaska and of Wheelock
G. Veazey of Rutland as interstate COM
merce commissioner.
1t was bad weather that spoiled the
holiday trade of Vermont merchants; in
New York the war on the electric lights,
and the consequent darkness of the city's
streets, did it.

adapted tor our largely increasing business.
We occupy the whole OF our present ware
rooms, which gives us chance to display our
instruments at IL much better advantage than
was possible ever before besides enabling us
to carry very much larger stock OF Pianos
and Organs than was ever attempted by any
concern outside the large cities.
The Estey Piano still continues growing In
favor and 1t is safe to say that already more
OF them are being used in Rutland than of any
considering that 1t is but little more than one
year ago since they were first introduced
here. The Decker Brothers Pianos, which
we control, need no comments from us. This
piano stands first among musicians every
where, and everybody knows il. We also
control the Behr Brothers Piano which is well
and tavorably known in this locality. In this
piano is combined all OF the best qualities of
other makes, besides possessing several i'm
portant features OF its own, which makes it
the most desirable moderate priced piano now
manufactured. We cary a full line OF these
pianos and invite comparison. Besides the
pianos mentioned we have II number of cheap
er makes which are reliable and give splend-
id satisfaction, and now we can truly say we
are in position where we can defy cOmpeti-
ton from any and all sources. We carry a full
line of the world renowned Estey Organs in
their new 1889 models with latest improve

automatic attachments. Our stock Is now
very complete, and need only be seen to be
appreciated.
