AS the recent democratic triumph in
Sedgwick eliminates Wichita aspirants
from the race to succeed Peters for con-
gress, Pratt county makes her Obeisance
and SHES her castor into the ring with
one of the best equipped and most avail
able men in the southwest. Well see
you later.-Pratf County Times.
Don't worry, Jim; there is lots of
time for man to equip. Peters will
succeed Peters again. Write that down
in your hat.-Ska6ord Herald.
Those fellows who are fixing to down
Peters" are foOling away lot of valua-
BILE time. The man does not live in the
big Seventh who can down ''our SAM"
Just bear that in mind.-HntcAimson News.
That's the way we are talking away
down here in the southwest corner of the
district, and Peters needn't worry about
the result. Let the other fellows do the
neutrality-suspicious. Ne7us.
The people of western Kansas and
more particularly those residing in the
''big Seventh district have no thought
of a change of congressman, SO long as
Judge Peters attends to their wants as
he has in the past. They know that they
have strong man in the lower house of
congress and they propose to keep him
there as long as he wants to remain.

DON'T fret or worry about the future
of western Kansas either as to the eli
mate. soil, or the future business pros
poets. even if the soil does not seem to
produce quite as prolificly as you had
hoped it might or your prospects in bus
mess are not up to your expectations.
They seldom are. And as to climate,
where on earth will you find milder or
more salubrious climate than right here
in western Kansas. So don't be troubled
about the future for this section. All
will come out right in the end.

saw better broom corn than in this val
ley and the climate is adapted to its per-
feet curing. OF course. sorghum grows
in profusion, but until the process of
making sugar and molasses is better un-
derstoOd and mills established on a solid
basis, my opinion is that sorghum better
be let alone. If Claus Spreckles wants
to make sugar from beets he can not do
better than to establish refinery in this
valley. As the saying is. he could get
beets until he could not rest. As have
explained in other correspondence, as
there is now a reasonable certainty of OBJ
tanning water for irrigation, this country
must build up and on sound basis.
What have said of the soil here is ap-
plicable to almost all of the region be-
tween Kinsley and the Colorado line. As
one acre of land thoroughly irrigated
will certainly raise more than any two
acres left dependant upon natural rain
fall, it will be seen that the time will
come when western and southwestern
Kansas will be more populous and richer
than the eastern portion of the state.

The following startling special dis
patch was published in yesterday Hutch
inson Neas. A meeting will be held at
the seat of trouble to-day. when we shall
know more of the facts:
MEADE, Kan, Dec. sit has just been dis
covered that the American Sugar company,
who built and operated a sugar factory at
MinneOla, Kansas, the past season, introduce
ed imported barrel sugar into their syrup in
order to make a showing to the people.
Hon. Willis G. Emerson, Capt. Rob't ". Pain
ter, Attorney A. T. Bodle, jr., and others who
have in good faith been helping the American
Sugar company people to introduce their SUI
gar plants, have been shamefully imposed
upon by this gigantic piece Of misrepresen-
tation upon the part of the officers of the
American Sugar company. These gentlemen
unearthed the fraud yesterday and are pune
turing the nefarious scheme with exposure
and condemnation.
Fortunately the ninety thousand dollars of
bonds voted in six different townships are
not in the possession of the American Sugar
company, and will therefore be surrendered
to the townships. Not only Messrs. Bodle,
Emerson and Painter, but the entire commu
nifty are justly indignant.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has hOnored
the great state of Kansas in appointing
Hon. David j. Brewer, of LeavenwOrth,
an associate justice of the supreme court
of the United States, to occupy the chair
lately vacated by the death of Justice
Stanley Matthews. Judge Brewer de-
scended from family Of eminent jurists
and his learning and ability gave hin,
fame years ago. He is nephew of
Justice Field, and it is most remark
able coincidence that uncle and nephew
should occupy at the same time place
in the highest court of our land.

Mr.. ABE STOUFER, of Arkalon, and
editor and proprietor of the News of
that place, has been making a good many
trips to Garden City within the past year
and while he used to stop over between
trains usually called on us and got US
to believe that he was doing business
at the land office; but his trips became
more frequent of late, in fact his weekly
trips became tri-weekly visits, not al
ways to the land Office. however, as we
now find out, but to the residence of a
blue eyed beauty, miss Hattie NJ. Mar

to make life journey with him. The
agreement was read over by Rev. NJ.
Bamford in the presence of a goodly
number of invited guests. simply to YER
ify its correctness. and Abe and Hattie

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says
editOrially: 1.-THE death of Jefferson Da-
Wis should be message of peace rather
than strife to the whole country. There
is no reason why he should be dealt with
in spirit of vengeance. He is not as
great a figure as if he had been killed
when captured. 1t is we'll that his influ-
ence has not been increased by making
him martyr. We neither expect nor
desire that the southern people should
denounce him in his death. They will
celebrate him with all the phrases of ex-
aggerated sentiment peculiar to their
temperament and habits of expression,
but they must feel that his departure will
not be to their disadvantage"

PRECIOUS MOTHER.

In affectionate remembrance of our believe,
mother. by James E. Zerbe.
Gone thou art, oh, precious mother,
Yet thy children love thee still;
In our serving hearts no other
Thy beloved place can fill.
Tenderly we smoothed the tresses,
From thy brow pure as the snow,
Believed with tears and caresses,
Dead-ard, oh! we loved you so.
All the friends thy fond heart cherished
We will prize a hundred fold;
Till like thee, We, too, have persisted,
And our hearts in death are cold.
Fen the paths thy feet have trodden,
To our own are hallOwed ground;
Thy loving voice ne'er forgotten,
Though We miss its welcome sound.
"GOd to all is kind and gracious"
These the dying words you said,
Are to us now dOubly precious
Since you're numbered with the dead.
To us each menentO's dearer,
And we miss thee everywhere;
Heavens portals cen seem nearer
Since, dear mother, thou art there.
Oh! precious mother, thou art gone
To that home of light and love,
May we meet at the Savior's throne
In that blessed world above.
Gone forever; sorrow only
In our future life can know,
Since you died and left us lonely
In this world of pain and woe.
Then sleep, precious mother, alone
In your deep and narrow bed;
Until we, too, are gathered home,
And are numbered with the dead.
Dodge City, Dec. 3, 1889.

No parent has right to let his child
grow up in ignorance. The education
which enabled his grandfather to sue

ALL kinds of live stock in this section
of the state have done remarkably well
the past year. All are sleek and fat and
in good growing condition, and an album

to raise cattle, horses. sheep and hogs as
well as small grain. In fact they find
that what profits have been realized have

DO YOUR DUTY.

Perhaps no better illustrations of the
value of patriotism, loyalty and heroism
could be given, than brief review of
the history of our country during the last
thirty years. Thirty years ago section
alism, hatred and strife were ripe in the
land. Preparations were being made
for great revolution on the one hand.
on the other every effort was being made
to avert such calamity. Problems too
difficult for the best minds in the nation
to solve presented themselves. States
men hesitated and failed to agree as to
what source to pursue. In the meantime
the nation drifted, dragging her anchor
like a ship before the gale. What was
the result? To whom did she turn for
deliverance? To her leaders? No. She
simply placed her safety in the hands of
the loyal and patriotic people of the land,
and they did not fail her. Their fidelity
and zeal, and honest manly worth were
her deliverance. They toiled, they suf-
fered, many died, but they brought the
nation through the crucial test of civil
war, and anchored her safely within the
harbor of constitution, now improved
and purified for her reception.
All hail! to those brave defenders of
the union! But where did they learn
their lessons of loyalty and patriotism?
Where did they get the discipline and
strength required for such deeds? To
the careful training and advice of indus
trious parents who were even then en-
gagged in building nation in the forests
and on the prairies of our country. To
the log school house and to the stern
schoolmaster Of fifty years ago, much of
the glory is due. The schools of fifty
years ago were not equal to the schools
of to-day, yet they did a noble work.
They helped to train and discipline a ec-
pie for the performance of high and
honorable duties. Difficult problems
have been solved since the civil war, and
still more difficult ones are here for So
luton. But the people we believe are
able to solve them in a satisfactory man
ner.
But generation succeeds generation, to
new hands must be entrusted the safety
of the republic. We have no reason to
believe that the problems of the future
will be more easily solved than those of
the past. As nation advances in civil
ization the more complex are its prob
lens, and the more skill, courage and
patriotism will be required of its people.
There should then be no luke warmness
in the exercise of those agencies which
tend to develop noble, manly qualities.
The home, the school, the church and
the state should cooperate in the work of
elevating the people of this country. The
financial and commercial questions that
arise are not the most important. The
training and fitting the masses for the
duties of American citizenship is of su-
perior moment, for the reason that the
destiny of the nation is in the hands of
the people rather than in the hands of
the politicians. Politicians are follow
ers, not leaders, they merely seek to bal
