WESTERN KANSAS.
To the Editor Of the Eag @.

To the Editor OF the Eage.
l have just returned from the western
part of our state and am glad to report
that the people seem to be taking new
grip, and are full OF hope. The winter
has been unusually favorable, stock has
gone through the winter months in good
flesh, as rule, and with but little feed
There has been plenty of feed of all
kinds in Greeley county and will be con-
siderable left over. Stock was mostly
wintered on cane and millet. There
is now large crib of corn
stored In Tribune to be shipped to Col
orado.
| talked to several farmers who are
preparing to put out large crops, two of
whom over one hundred acres each. The
fall was so dry that the wheat got very
late start, some OF it only coming up
since the snowfall in January: but they
had splendid rain throughout the west
about March Is and the wheat now,
though small, looks very well
Tribune is growing some since she Sc
cured the county seat, and her citizens
are feeling quite confident. The Mis-
souri, Pacific has completed handsome
depot and sidetrack facilities within three
blocks of the center of town which
supplies long felt want.
Judge G1instead held his first term of
court in Greeley county at Tribune
while l was there, and l believe his first
since his appointment, and gave excel
lent satisfaction. He is very agreeable
gentleman, and a clear-headed and
broad-gauged judge. l predict he will
be very popular in his district.
1t is said out west that the Missouri
Pacific will extend the d., NJ. & A. from
Larned to Lacrosse in the early summer.
Now for the link from Andale to the D.,
N. & A, and Wichita will get the ben
efits. /. z. CAMPBELL.

How Oft Would he, but She Wouldn't.
Gazette K. c. No. l.
The editor of the Wichita EAGLE, be-
ing apparently without the trouble of a
municipal row at home, reads closely
the doings of his neighbors. He is in
of Topeka. While Kansas City, Kansas,
is happy in the extreme and exceedingly
hopeful amid an animated canvass, be-
cause the boodlers are about to vanish
and the joint keepers are going to Jail or
fleeing for Missouri, all the leading cities
of Kansas, excepting Wichita, are in
constant state OF volcanic eruption,
belching frauds, joints, boodlers. etc.
The weeping and wailing OF the Wichita
editor at Topeka's waywardness is posi-
lively agonizing.

Blessed be Lent.

According TO DR.. Hamilton it cuts
down the rate of pneumonia among
people who religiously observe its salu-
tary rules of restraint. This, added to
its dietetic advantages, justifies its in
stitution and and observance on sanitary
as well as religious grounds. The care of
bodily health is religious duty, and
some people would be benefited by a
Lenten season the year round.

Governor Humphrey has reappointed
j. h. C. Brewer, of Peabody, as a mem

This board is made up in very curious
ard unusual way. The state board OF
agriculture appoints one member, the
state horticultural society another, and
the governor selects the third member.

Why Cain Killed Abel.

Atchlson Globe
1t has been discovered why Cain
killed Abel. Cain made n strong speech
one evening in favor of a candidate for
mayor he was interested in and saw
Abel in tie audience. Cain thought he
made a particularly happy speech and
did his candidate considerable good.
Therefore when Able approached him
the next morning and asked, WHO is
your candidate for mayor" Cain was so
angry that he slew him.

of the silk industry in Kansas TO make
any show for itself with the state aid il
has received, is not so much the fault OF
the industry itself as the officials who
have had it in charge. As state silk

DR.. Talmage, in his address last week
before the Presbyterian union, is report
ed as saying:
There were 100000 christians in
the world-nominal and actual-and
they were more than enough. He had
undertaken to figure out how many
even SO, 200, 600 could convert to christ
ianity if each christian would bring one
soul to Christ in each of the last ten
years of the century, and if each one of
the converted would do the same: but
the problem was too large for him and
he had gone to a mathematician in one
of the Institutions of learning and asked
him how many christians it would take
to convert the world under those circum-
stances. He was told that 1854, 375
could do it. They could bring the / AGO.
000, 000people of the earth to Christ before
the close of the century, showing that
more than II 100000 of their available
army of 100000 could be held in re-

These remarks were prefaced with the
expressionsof an opinion that 1.-The forces
now existing in the Christian church
We're more than sufficient to accomplish

The announcement comes from Wash
ington that the president will comply
with General w. T. Sherman's request
to retain General j. Z. johnson in the
position of railroad commissioner. We
apprehend that this decision will meet
with very little adverse criticism from
any quarter. True it is that General
johnson was one of the most conspicu-
GUS and hardest fighters in the Confeder-
ate army and the last one OF any conse-
quence to quit the fight, but 1t Is also
true that when he surrendered it was
done in good faith, and while his APP
pointment to the position he holds by
the preceding administration indicates
his political bias, he has never appeared
before the public as an inoffensive par
tisan. And besides he is getting to be

Of all The figures that have been gath
cred and published about Kansas, none
have been compiled showing how many
women there were engaged as wage
earners in the state. Five hun
dred and ninety-five manufac-
turing industries were report
ed to the Kansas labor bureau dur
ing the past year, and from these it is
learned that in 505 branches Of trade,
1856 women and girls are employed.
This does not include women employed
in domestic or Industrial capacities,
school teachers, etc., but only those in
strictly manufacturing establishments.
The wages Of the 1866 women range
from 50 cents per day in carriage shop
to 81. 80 per day in a packing house, the
average daily wage being between Sc and
81 cents per day. In the same indus
tries the wages of men range from 70
cents to $500 per day. The average
working day for the female is eleven
hours and seven minutes, while the aver
age for the men is but trifie over ten
hours. The ages of the females en-
ployed range from IA to 40 years.

POEMS OF THE PRESS.

April.
OAprill in thy face and voice
Are hints of summer brightness;
No wonder that our hearts rejoice,
And throb with buoyant lightness.
The blossoms raise their dainty heads
The sun is warm and glowing;
Thy breath dewy fragrance sheds,
Sweet balm on earth beStowing.
Though clouds above thy forehead loom.
Thy aspect still is tender;
So quickly sunshine follows gloom,
They but increase thy splendor.
Thy showers moisten daFkencd roots
That stir when skies are weeping,
And upward send forth tiny shoots.
Their pulses joyful lesping.
Capricious month of smiles aud tears,
Thy whisper, soft and thrilling,
The gloomy heart OF nature cheers.
Her darling hopes fulfilling.
The birds fling out their gayest notes
To greet thee In the morning,
Through all the air their music floats

Blake, the Kansas weather prophet,
predicts that the states east OF the Mis-
sissippi river this season will have but
very little rain, but that Kansas and the
states west of the Missouri will have an
abundance. Should this prediction be
fulfilled Kansas will this year raise over
$500, 200, 900 worth of products, and that
will give her an impetus which will
carry her through several years come.
We shall be both glad and regretful If
the predictions are verified; glad at our
good fortune and sorry for the mis-
fune of our Ga tern neighbors.

inconsiderabl

Gov. Humphrey must have experienced
a gIim satisfaction in the appointment of
police commissioners for Leavenworth,
Anthony, Hacker and Alternately. The
two first named are candidates Tor mayor,
and whoever is elected must resign. The
appointments will insure the enforcement
of the laws, and that is the object of the
,police commissioners. But the situation
Is funny one.
: Not so funny as you seem to suppose
from the reason assigned. We think
the policy of the governor in appointing
opposing candidates for mayor as men,
bers of the police commission quite a
happy thought. The two positions Of
mayor and commissioner are not incOm-
patible under the law, but there are
many reasons why one man should fill
both. Besides, the law provides that
one of the commissioners shall be of OPP
posing political principles from the
others, and the reasonable presumption
is that the candidates for mayor, where
there are more than one, not only repre-
resent the two leading parties but are
at the same time representative citizens.

The editor of the GAYLORD Hub has

The editor Of the Gaylord Hub has
the following Of New Ulm and its
beautiful surroundings:
A party of seven Hubites, including
the writer, viewed the sights Of New
Ulm (about II miles distant on Sunday
last. New Ulm has fine location, and
the people there are thrifty and prosper
Gus, and take a pride in the progress
and developement of their beautiful
little city. Since the terrific cyclone
which visited that place some years
ago, it has attained a steady and sub
stantial growth, and to-day can be seen
large number of fine, substantial
brick and frame structures, which give
the town solid business appearance.
New Ulm is reported to have a popu-
lation of about 1000, being comprised
almost wholly of the German nationali-
ty. New Ulm has fine, wide streets,
which gives it a metropolitan like APP
pearance; on the bluff side are num-
Der Of handsome residences, including a
splendid theological seminary, a large
dance-hall, etc, and it is withal pict-
uresque and charming place to live.
Other noticeable features of New Ulm
are its many fine church edifces, the old
Turner Hall, an elegant public school
building, its Touring mills, the new and
elegant Sons of Herman building and
monument, and a nicely laid out park.
AL in all, New Ulm is no doubt one
of the most solid and substantial towns
in the state.

Necbe Promised to Tell 1t An.

Judge Gary, who presided at the Chica-
go anarchist trial, gave Louis Neebe to I'M
derstand that when his brother Oscar, now
serving his committed life sentence at Jol-
iet would make full statement regarding
the workings and plans of the anarchist
groups, including the Lehr and Weir ye-
rein, what steps he and others took in the
contamination of their proposed social
revolution; when he exposed all the
plans and schemes of the defense during
the progress of the trial and expressed re-
greet, he, the Judge, would consider the
question of signing petition for his par
don. A statement of the requirements
was laid before Oscar and he agreed to
fulfill them. The prison authorities have
furnished him with the necessary materials
for the purpose and a statement was
written.
The alleged confession was gwen to
the press on the Goth, and turns out to be
no confession at oil. Neebe in it declares
himself innocent of any completely in the
Haymardet tragedy, and says if he was
guilty the punishment could not be too Sc
we're. Referring to the statement attribut-
ed to Judges Grinnell and Gary that they
would sign letter to the governor in his
favor, provided he made full statement
of bis connection with the Lehr and Weir
yerein and other anarchist affairs, ETC., he
denies knowing anything about the matters
referred to. He asserts that so far as lie
knows the defense in the trial had no lille
Ultimate scheme or plans, and concludes
by saying that he always maintained that
the ballot and not force was the proper
weapon of the working class.
