Tor the purpose of handling corn alone
az this crop is the only one with which
the work would be continued for apy
length of time. The corn crop is usu-
ally IN the asceDdency, in this county
as regards the amount of the yield. vet
some small grain is grown but the
amount of the latter, does not equal in
any proportion the amount of the corn
crop.
These reasons ara assigned as the
chief cause of the non construction of
the elevator plant in this city.
This may be of some use to the far
mers who viii realize what such an in.
dustry means for this city and sur.
rounding country and will probably
lead them to consider the matter Of
growing other crops than corn.
The gentlemen in charge of the bust
ness were much pleased with the pros
poets offered here but were compelled
to discontinue the enterprise on &C
count of the 1ackof small grain.

GEORGE MARTIN of the Kansas City
Gazette finds an encouraging moral in
Governor Humphrey, s alleged Colorado
jamboree. If he got drunk, says
George, he had to go out of Kansas in
order to DO so. Behold how the pro-
hibition law gets in its work. OF
course everybody knows that Governor
Humphrey could by no sort of POSSIBLE
ity get drunk in Kansas.-Emporia
NEWS.
OF course he could get drunk in Kan
sas, but he never did. If he has a de-
sire to get drunk. and goes to Colorado
to indulge, it shows that public senti-
mems kept him sober at home. These
fellows who get drunk away from
home, furnish pretty good testimony
to home if not to themselves.-K. G.
Gazette.
Brother Martins comments prove
how much better than no argument at
all, is poor one.

WHETHER justly or not, prosecuting
attorney Longenecker suspects Alex
ander Sullivan OF instigating the. jury
bribing lately detected. The trail led
TO Sullivan's Office, and his private sec
Rotary was summoned to appear before
the attorney. and tell what he knew
about it. Whether anything of value
was got from the private secretary has
not been revealed. Sullivan's worri-
ment, and the almost frenzied agiea-
ton of his law partner Windes in con-
sequence of the private secTetary's ar
rest are proof that Longenecker's sus-
PiciOns were well founded. Every one
Is asking whence comes the money for
the defense of the prisoners who are,

There can be but one answer. the Clan

THE AMERICAN sYsTE1E.

In Mr.. Curtis volume upon the trade
with Spanish-America, just issued by
the state department, the obstacles are
enumerated. The report of the COM
mission appointed in 1884, supplies the
material for that part of MIR. Curtis
interesting compilation
The principle obstacles noted by the
commission are 1.-THE enormous and in
many cases prohibitory duties charged
by most of the countries of Central
and South America" and the lack Of
transportation facilities. BY lack of
facilities the commission means lack
of steamships owned and operated by
Americans. In the words of the re-
port, 1.-THE difference in the cost of
maintaining and navigating steam
ships under the flag of the United
States is so great that our vessel own
ers are compelled TO charge higher
rates of transportation than competing
foreign lines or abandon the trade en-
tirely- In many instances it is cheap
or To ship merchan Use from the ports
Of the United States via Europe in
European streamers than to send them
direct upon American steamers"
The report also complains of the
complex and i'm many cases unreason-
able regulations of the customs service
in many ports and the practice of i'm
posing exorbitant fines and penalties
for unintentional violations of such
regulations
This is all bad for trade but instead
OF repiBing because these obstacles ex-
list, we ought, out of respect for our
most glorious tariff, to praise the Span
ish-American countries for their sturdy
adherence to all the branches of the
American system. We ought to be
proud that they had followed so closely
our example and got rich by develop
ing home markets. They can rot we'll
prove that their tariffs make high
wages. for the labor of these countries
is on an average miserably paid and
miserably inefficient, but they can find
plenty of excuses just as good. They
have the prohibitory tariff with all its
regulations and. that is enough to
stamp them as wise, patriotic and
American. We should tread reverent-
~ on such holy ground and beware of
disturbing their precious protection
