The United States sends. abroad. 500
GOO, 600 year for raw silk. SILK cul-
ture in this country hitherto has not
made rapid Roadway. but its friends are
persevering. The Women's Silk Gull
ture association, of Philadelphia. having
received a 5000 appropriation from the
government to establish the culture of
silk in America, offers for planting this
spring, TO state agricultural schools. in
Btitutions or reformatories, or TO indi-
viduals gratuity of mulberry trees,
not less than twenty-five nor more than
one hundred in number. Such acts as
this are very complimentary to the in
telligence, patriotism and energy OF
the association named and cannot fail to
greatly encourage and stimulate the in
dustry that gives every promise of be-
coming one of the most valuable, because
profitable, in the country. The gener-
Gus offer named, while highly appreci-
ated, will not be taken advantage in this
section perhaps as in some others, owing
TO the abundance of the Usage and the
fact that it is considered as valuable as
the mulberry for feeding the siIkworm.

Somebody must have slandered PEN
sion Commissioner Tanner when it was
reported that he had whetted his battle
axe and was about to chop off heads in
his department as rapidly as his sturdy
arms could WELD it, but was restrained
by positive orders from his superior Off
Ger. Here comes a story about a pension
examiner named Shanks, at Lyman,
Ohio, who being a faithful Democrat,
and believing in the doctrine that to the
victors belong the spolls, sent in his resig-
nation, to save the department the
trouble of kicking him out; but Tanner
wrote back that his record showed him
to be an efficient officer. and an old SOL
der besides, and there was no disposition
TO disturb him, consequently his resig-
nation was not accepted. SO it seems a
good record counts for something, even
with the sed-to-be-vindictive Cor
poral Tanner.

President Harrison is said to be con.
sidering seriously the question of an ex-
ira session of congress. Should he call
one, there would be plenty of work for
it to do, and perhaps the most important
reason for calling it would be to let the
house organize and get ready for bust
ness by the time fixed for the regular
session. They might also get the ap-
preparation bills under way, SO that they
would not have to be rushed through
without proper consideration in the last

Emma Abbott has contracted with q
Philadelphia firm for a monument to
her late husband, Eugene Wetherell,
that will cost $4,000. 1t will be erected
Mt Gloucester, Mass, and will be com
posed of various species of marble. Be-
meath it there will be a vault to contain
two bodies. Above is a canopy support
ed by four columns of Gothic style, on
the top of which is a figure of Hope.
The whole is fifty-four feet high. When
Miss Abbott dies her body will be Gre
mated and the ashes will be placed near
the remains of her husband. Now, what
will the glib CRITICS say who were so
ready to asperse honest little Emma by
lnsinuating that she cared nothing for
her husband, because she wore the weeds
of mourning and kept off the stage but
two weeks after us death?

The mention of CleveIand'e name in
connection with the nomination for the
presidency of his party in 1892 throws
the Topeka Democrat into hysterical
commissions. AS the Democrat has a
special and peculiar knack of bobbing
up on the losing side its opposition to
CleYeland cannot but be taken as a
pointer in his favor-as far as the nomi-
nation is concerned. The Democrat
would then turn to his support, of course
-perhaps-with corresponding results

Suppose the beef-on-hoof local inspec-

WE WILL DO YOU GOOD.

To the homeseeker from wheresoever
who desires home in the choicest por-
ton of the west, we desire to present one
or two facts We have in Kansas, espe-
cialiy in the southern portion, beyond
question the best combination of soil
and climate of the same latitude on the
continent. Our high altitude gives US
pure atmosphere and pleasant summers
and mild winters not enjoyed by regions
farther south or north. Our soil IN the
main is a rich, dark sandy loan of great
depth and produces almost without
limit anything known to grow in a tenn
perate climate. If you want a better
home than you have in the north, east
or south, and better than you can
find anywhere else in the United States,
you can find it in southern Kansas and
if you are worthy you will be received
with a cordial welcome.
No isr this section, that is so abund-
antly favored in the points recited, one
whit less favored in every other par
tlcular. 1t is trayersed in all directions
by railroad and telegraph lines that
make the entire region as but one neigh
borhood for easy and quick intercourse,
social and commercial. The coun-
try is dotted with cities and
towns affording convenient local
markets, while in the center
stands Wichita the great entrepot so to
speak, for the grand empire. Here is
found at all times a ready cash market
for all products of the farm, the ranch,
the pasture, the factory and what not,
as well as depot where supplies of every
conceivable sort can be obtained. The
city possesses advantages and induce
ments to those who desire choice To-
cation for business of any kind or for
social and educational considerations,
equal in extent and degree to those
enumerated above pertaining to the agri-
cultural features of the country.
AS to location the city cannot be sur
passed if equaled on the continent: in
comeliness it is without a peer in the
west; its prospects for future growth
and prosperity, like its past brief
history, is without compare.
None visit the city or country but are
captivated by their beauty and the spirit
of progressiveness that prevades all and
everywhere, and mono that are made of
the right stuff who cast their lots with
us, but thank the inspiration that attract
ed them hither.
Again, in the language of Moses in his
invitation to his father-in-law, Jethro,
we bid you come.

The number of hogs one acre of al
