Please observe that the prices of iron

these facts, Mr.. Carnegie has ordered a

For some reason Senator Ingalls, has
an idea that his political fences need
looking after, and he is devoting the
summer to cementing old friendships,
and establishing new ones. For the
first time in three years he appears to
be interested in Kansas, and its local
affairs. He evidently does not know
what the campaign of 1890 may bring
forth, That will be an ''off year." and
the independent voter, the reformer,
and the anti-prohibitionist will surely
be abroad in the land. If the republi-
cans remain in power, it is not likely
that man can be found who can defeat
the Yitriol-tongued statesman of Atch-
iSon.

FIGURING ON 1ss2

Inc editor of the st. Louis Republic
sent inquiries to the leading democratic
newspapers throughout the south and
southwest. to ascertain the following
points: l. Would Governor Hill be the
strongest man the democrats could put
up? 2. Should the campaign of 1892 be
concentrated upon New York and three
adjacent states 3. Has the time come
for the party to recognize the drift of
population, and consequently of poiiti-
cal preponderance to the west and south
west, by nominating western candi-
date /?
Seventeen answers were received, and
there was but one expression in favor
of the nomination of Gov. Hill, and 1T
came from paper that is known to
have protection proclIyities. Fourteen
of the papers are unqualifiedIy opposed
to the nomination of Hill Henry Wat
terson says he expects to support the
nominee, and he therefore objects to
saying that he is opposed To any demo-
crat.
The answers. without exception, favor
the recognition of the west In the seIec-
ton of ticket, if that policy appears
prudent when the convention meets:
but they insist that any eastern candi-
date, to be acceptable. must be broadly
national in his political character.
1t is evident that Mr. Cleveland is vet
favorite in many localities, and if he
continues TO grow in the affections of
the people as plain Citizen Cleveland,
there will be little discussion in 1892 as
to who will be the candidate of the DEM
ocrats. The very fact that every repub-
llcan paper of note is pretending to ex-
press the belief that Mr.. Cleveland is a
dead duck" is good evidence that they
are only afraid that he will be the NOM
inee.

The attorney general of Kansas has
decided that it being the duty of sher-
if to use all efforts to arrest fugitive
from justice, he is not entitled to re-
wards for performing his official duty;
that the law allows certain fees and I'M
less the sheriff goes into another state
and performs extraordinary services he
is entitled to nothing but the fees of his
office. The attorney general believes
that if this official were entitled to re-
wards offered he would await the offer

to arrest criminal, and thus defeat JUS

of Norton county claiming reward of
$500 offered by the state for the arrest

An ABUNDANT HARVEST

Kiowa Herald, June 10: Never be-
fore in the history of Kiowa township
has there been such a bountiful yield
of wheat as to-day stands in shocks on
the thousands of acres in Kiowa town
ship, presenting a panorama of wealth
that has never been surpassed by any
township of its growth IN the history
of Kansas. West, north and east the
golden grain stands ready for thresh-

they are almost dumbfounded when
they look over their wheat fields, and

upward tendency of real estate during
the past two weeks. Farmers who
who would sell, and wanted to sell three
or four weeks ago, are either indiffer-
ent, or absolutely refuse To part with
their land. They see that one good
wheat crop will pay off all the incunl-
brance, and corn, oats and millet, now

A Wichita dispatch of the 18th says :
"a sensational sequel to the supposed
attempted suicide of J. A. Newcome in
the Clearwater bank May %, promised
to be forthcoming in the near future.
Ever since the shooting Newcome has
been more or less conscious until Thurs
day night, when he made rapid strides
toward recovery, and yesterday his
brain was quite clear. Sending for his
attorneys he impaired the startli~ IN
formation that he did ness attemnt sn;.

bank at the time had shot him. He
said he had transferred to TiIlinehast
by trust deed some $50, 600 worth of
property, and though he had frequently
asked for restitution it had not been
made. Finally he said Tillinghast in
duced him to meet him III his Office in
Clearwater, and there ne was shot. AT
the time of the shooting Tillinghast an
nounced that Neweome was in dire
financial straits, and had been very des-

that this was not the case, so the state

Calvin s Brice was elected chairman
of the democratic national committee
last week, without dissenting vote
being cast. He was chairman of the
executive committee in the last cam
paign, and did excellent work, though
he was unable TO successfully combat
the uill-Harrison combine in New
York. The election of Mr. Briee al
Ohio man, when every chairman here
tofore, since 1850, has lived east of the
Alleghenies, is an indication that the
eastern democrats have learned tina,
there is west. When this fact is firm
ly established, there will be stronger
probability of western man being
nominated for the presidency.
