didn't write letter advising a former
countryman how to vote in order to pro-
mote the best interests of England, but
he did write good campaign song de-
scribing how General Harrison led his
troops at Resaca. This was sent to Mrs
Harrison, with an account of the writer,
which interested her, and she took very
methodical means to veryify the ac-
count. Having done this, she requested
the governor of California to pardon the
man, which he did on learning that his

1t is said that Liverpool cotton dealers
object TO the use of cotton cloth for bag
glng, preferring jute, and in consequence
the cotton planters of the south are
again vexed over the question of what to
use in order TO successfully combat the
jute trust which prompted the substitu-
ton of cotton cloth for jute bagging.
The objection is specious one and is I'M
questionab!y prompted by the personal
interest of the cotton people of Liver
pool in the jute industry abroad and the
trust in this country. rather than the
superiority Of jute over cotton for bag
ging. There is no question about the
superiority of cotton cloth for baling
purposes and the only reason why lutte
or hemp bagging got the precedence was
because they have hitherto been cheaper
than the cotton cloth

THE HAPPY VALLEY LEADS.

Lawrence Tribune.
\ flying trip through central and
southern Kansas this week showed us
the finest crops we have seen in Kansas
during a twenty years residence in the
state. We had thought that the crops in
this part of Kansas were as good as could
be raised, but the immensely of the yield
in the central and southern part simply
surpasses our great crops here so far that
there can scarcely be comparison made.
The mighty prairies of Harvey, Sedg-
wick, Sumner and Harper counties are
one continuous field of green waving
corn. except where the great wheat crop
has already been harvested. And such
COrni There are thousands and thous-
ands of acres through the rich Arkansas
valley that will yield a hundred bushels
TO the acre, beyond any doubt. And
there is no fear of dry weather or hot
winds. There have been plenty of rains
recently, and the ground is in excellent
condition, moist and loose, and the crop
will readily mature. The wheat is Weld
ing far more than was expected when it
was harvested. The threshers are busy
on almost every section, and the farmers
informed us that yield of forty bushels
to the acre of the finest wheat was an
occurrence Of the most common kind.
The crop of 1889 has l.ever been
excelled even in this state Of wonderful
Yields.

says it is foolish to assert that it will
restore the vigor and activity of

say, it will require a hundred years to
demonstrate its efficiency in that direc-
ton. This Will be very discouraging to
those who have been building hopes of
