The first decisive move upon the
Republican chess board of the third
district was made last Monday
when III. G. Minor was chosen as
! the Republican candidate for Con
gress.
There is q great deal of signifi-
canoe attached to the nomination,
and complications can be looked for
that will necessarily be beneficial
to the Democrats.
1t is the first time in the history
of our State, that even the Repub-

THE NEGRO AND THE MULE
A number of our contemporaries,
sboth of the cities and country, have
lately been devOting considerable
space to proving that the negro and
the mule are the ones, and the only
ones, who can live and successfully
cultivate the soil Of Louisiana.
We claim the privilege of enter
Ing our solemn protest against this
sweeping and mistaken idea.

is to dissent, vervTespectfully, but
very earnestly, from two PROPOSE
tons which the editor of the Re.
view, has, in the discussion Of the
negro question, recently enumerated
by inference if not directly, viz,
first, that the white man is physi.
cally incapable of bearing the heat
and burden of plantation labor in
the South; or, that as a labOrer, he
is inferior to the negro.
Tn order to emphacise this theory
he challenges some Of his cOntem-
poraries OF the "city press" to try
Il planet Junior under a July sun
IN cotton which is 'gust Tapped"
His second proposition is that lice
gro labor at the South is good, or
at least that the lack of prosperity
among the planters is not due to
the inferiOrity of the labor.
do not wish to be understood
as stating that the editor of the
Review has stated the above pro-
positions as clearly as / have, but
from what he has said they are
logically inferable.
Now as to the first proposition.
1t is not only incorrect from a
standpoint of experience, but IN
wise from one Of policy. 1 know
it is popular doctrine with the
broad shOuldered, brawny armed
young men around town who com.

GOD AND MAN"

The latest work of the Robert Elsmere
type, much more pronounced in its IN
fidelity, is work of the above title by
DIR. Bray, A. NJ, D. D., D. L. L. D., of
Bonneville, Missouri, a copy Of which
lies before us, and which is published by
the Holt Publishing Company at St.
Louis, Missouri. 1t maintains for a
natural as against revealed religion,
and is terrific in its onslaught on the
divinity of Christ. The publishers de-
clare that the believer should read it to
lose his bigotry and superstition. and the
unbeliever should read it lest in his
righteous Indignation he cast to the wind
the wheat with the chaff. The author
says that he cannot but believe that all
who read it will find new beauties in
nature and in natures God. With
this feeling he prays that the Creator
may pity him in any mistade he may I'M
knowingly have made, and bless the
honest and heartfelt labors of his hands,
and grant that this book may ease the
burdens, raise the dropping head, and
cheer the fainting heart of every reader.

FARM AND HOME.

FARMERS should not be in hurry to turn
their stock out to grass. The ground is
soft and poachy, the grass is easily pulled
up by the roots, and much damage Is done
to pastures by feeding of too close IN the
spring.
DWELLINGS may be efectually cleared Of
cockroaches by mixture Of equal parts OF
red lead, Indian meal and molasses, made
into thick batter and placed in plate on
the floor over night. The dose must be re-
peated several times.
IL small fruits the first requisites are a
good market near the place OF growth, and
a good supply of pickers in the neighbor-
hood. A sandy soil is considered best for
raspberries, although they grow pretty
well on any kind OF land excepting a stiff
clay.
LAND should never be plowed when it is
the least bit sticky; never SOW rough
ground; clean and grade the seed; deep
blowing is not profitable; early sowing does
not always make an early crop-not SO early
as properly prepared, reasonably fertile
ground. If it lacks fertility, the greater
necessity of fertile culture-but it is better
to fertilize than waste time and seed.
VINES are the most graceful growth about
dwelling house, but no owner of taste WI
neglect good assortment Of shade trees.
In clearing of new place, il is often posi-
bic to select spot for dwelling in the
midst Of an outrageous grove, which,
readily furnished, can not keep one waiting
twenty years for shade. Don't be in hur-
~ to change all the woody fiber on your
place into lumber.
In America the natural fertility of the
soil for many years bountifully rewarded
agricultural labor applied in the simplest
forms. 1t was not, therefore, until the til
lage lands became worn and partially ex-
hausted that need was made manifest Of the
trained use Of brains as an assistant TO
brute force in prof table farming. And al
though illusions and suggestions in regard
TO some special education for the farmer
can be found at earlier dates. it was not till
thirty or forty years ago that efforts 10 es-
tabnsh agricultural schools and colleges be
gan to receive serious attention Ii this
country

SOME FACTS ABOUT POULTRY.

| To the Editor of the Eagle
When I first came to Kansas | OBJ
served that the poultry here was larger,
healthier and thrifty than any had seen
elsewhere, and tried to ascertain the
cause of it, and when l discovered the
abundance of insects here, the long dry
summers and the short dry winters |
could account for it. l purchased some
twenty hens the first year and they
did SO remarkably well that ] increased
to fifty and the to 100, with equal
success. while twenty-five were about
as many as did well together
in Michigan or Minnesota.
The average yield of eggs here for
each hen per year is 131, with one brood
of chickens, which hatch and mature
about SO per cent of the eggs set. All
things considered | have found the light
Bramahs the best There are but two
animals on the farm that pay their board
daily as they do and they are the COW
and horse. l do not think | exagerate
when l say my hens pay me 81 each per
wear, and | am astOnished when | look
about the country and see SO many hav-
ing Just as good a location and range as
have that neglect the opportunity TO
keep poultry.
We have as good q market in the west
as we could wish for for eggs and live
or dressed poultry, and must continue
TO have for the next century. Whoever
keeps hens and has an eye TO them and a
record of the proceeds viii prove the
truth Of my remarks.
There ought to leave every county
seat in Kansas every week III the year
car load Of hen fruit as the surplus Of
each county.
They do not require an expensive coop
in Kansas The south OF the coop is bet
ter for being open. Nor have l seen any
use for an Incubator here. and little use
for grain feed in warm weather. An
oat patch early in spring, hemp patch
in summer, and a sorghum patch in the
fall will carry them through the most of
the year. The grasshopperS that work
onto the range in the summer and
light feed OF grain in winter will keep
them in good condition thrifty.
Many are ready to say hens are a
small affair, but | venture the assertion
that if Americans would look more after
the small change they wOnld be more
prosperous and wealthy.

GOV. CLICK IN THE SOUP.

The Globe Democrats Washington
correspondent furnishes the following
information which is not uninteresting
reading and throws some more light up
on the trouble the Springer bill encoun-
tered in the q. S. senate, He says:
1t is not generally known why no SEN
ator was willing to call up the Oklahoma
bill after it reached the calendar in that
body. Day after day went by and the
boomers used every influence, but there
the bill stuck for want of friend. The
reason can now be stated. The senators
had information, very positive. as to the
use of improper means to push this meas
ure. Senator Butler limited at 1t once or
twice in debate. The bill, as 1t came
from the house and was reported
back to the senate, renewed for
town sites purposes mile wide along
every mile of railroad in the territory
constructed or to be laid out before the
passage of the act, and excluded all
these strips from actual settlement.
The senators received information
that, based upon these town site rights,
shares of stock had been issued and had
been placed where they would do the
most good. They were informed that
some OF these shares of stock had been
marketed, and that behind the bill there
was a great scheme of speculation,
This explains why the senators would
not touch the Oklahoma bill; and, now
that the bubble has burst, some of the
facts about the secret history of the
Springer bill are coming out. Lobbyists
who worked for the bill are showing
their shares, and are telling queer things
not at all to the credit of certain con-
gres.men. 1t appears that besides the
shares of stock scattered in Washington
there were some outside corporations
which expected to go into the town site
business when the Oklahoma bill became
a law. Many will remember that there
was convention at Baxter Springs last
winter: at which Ex-Governor Thomas
I. Crlttenden, of Kansas City, presided,
and ringing resolutions were adopted de-
manding the passage of the Springer
bill. One of the most vociferous advo-
Gates of opening of the territory was ex
Goveror now Pension Agent Click, of
Kansas. Within a few days there has
been passed around Washington as a
curiosity a specimen share OF stock in
the Homestead and Town Site Company
of Oklahoma. The par value of the
share is So. Upon the certificates are
the names of Thomas T. Crittenden,
president, and Geo. w. Click, vice-presi-
dent

Now since the wheat crop is nearly an
assured fact, the miilers have formed a
combine on the one side to regulate the
price of wheat, and the Irvine sellers have
organized another to double the price of
binding Irvine. The farmer is expected to
do the work and then hold the sack.-EX-
change.
Exactly; but the way the price of that
cereal is booming and bounding just now
it looks like the bag when emptied of
grain will be needed to carry home the
money. Just cast your eye on the St.
Louis and Chicago market quotations
for the past two or three days. We only
wish it would continue until the wheat
raisers could get rid of all their surplus
wheat. OF course this spur in the mar
ket is not the result of the falling of of
the visible supply, as reported, nor yet
of the prospect of this years crop; 1t is
simply speculative trick. But it's no
difference to the farmer, so he can get
ten or fifteen cents bushel more for his
grain by reason of it.
