CATTLE FEEDING.

The Importance of the efforts of the
Rock Island to secure feeders along the
line in southwest Kansas can hardly be
Overestimated 1t has been impossible
heretofore to use to any advantage the
immense amount of feed raised in this
locality, owing to the scarcity of stock.
Even last year, hundreds of tons Of hay
on the river bottom, as well as large
amount of other kinds of feed, was a
total loss, just on this account. But a
better state Of affairs is promised this
year. J. L. Shade, the live stock agent
Of the Rock Island at Liberal, Kansas,
is making arrangements for placing
large number of cattle from the ranges
with feeders in this part of the country.
The cattle will be placed on fair terms,
either at a fair price per pound, or on
shares, the feeder receiving a certain
number OF cattle for keeping the entire
herd. All contracts made with the cat
tie men direct.
Although the cattle will not come in
to the country until about December
LIST, arrangements should be made as
soon as possible. We hope to see our
people take hold of the matter in earn
est.
This is the only way for farmers of
limited means to obtain a start in cattle
or dispose of their surplus feed at
profit. 1t is perfect folly to expect to
make money farming out here except
by feeding the corn, hay, fodder, etc.,
to stock. 1t cannot be done in the east
where markets are at their very doors,
then why expect it herc?-Bucklin

Democrats Are Toeether.

1t is a source of qualification to tariff
refOrmers all over the country that the
democrats of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Virginia have stuck SO loyalty to their
party faith in the state campaigns of this
year and are fighting SO valiantly under
the tariff reform flag which was unfurled
at St. Louis last summer. A tariff cam
paign must of necessity be an education
al one. The Ohio and Pennsylvania
democrats may not win victories this
year, yet they are keeping the great issue
before the public, and are doing noble
missionary work for the campaign of 49,
90. The democratic party is no longer
open to the charge of occupying an I'M
certain or vacillating position on the
tariff. When Mr.. Cleveland planted the
banner of tariff reform in his celebrated
message to congress, the democratic party
rallied around the standard and have
been standing Loyalty to their cOlors ever
since. They were not whit discouraged
by defeat in the last election, as is demon
strated by the advanced position on the
tariff question the party has taken in the
various states where elections are to be
held this year. Nor have they reason to
be discouraged. There is many a man
who voted the republican ticket last fall
who went home from the polls to regret
it. During the last six months great
many republican business men, who voted
for Harrison last November, have come
to see the folly of supporting party that
Is pledged to making raw materials dear
New England manufacturers now say
that unless they can buy raw materials
at a cheaper rate they see nothing but
disaster for the future in their business.
That is what the democrats told them
last year. but they didn't see it then.
The scales have since fallen from their
eyes, and if the presidential election were
to take place next November. instead OF
last tariff reform would be an established
fact. Thus the democrats are encourag-
ed to keep up their educational campaign.
The common sense of the people may be
blinded for while, but in the long run
the crooked things are Strengthened out.

Of Kansas.

Germans Preparing to Leave the
30 called Prohibition state
Of Kansas.
This is the way the Kansas City
Times touches up the decrease in popu.
lation in Kansas:
\ dispatch from Texas says that a
large colony Of Germans from Iowa and
Kansas is going to settle near Gains
vile, their agent having purchased o.
900 acres of land for them.
1t is not the right time for Germans
to leave Kansas on account of prohibi
ton. We would like them all to stay
with their votes until the next election
when We expect to hammer out of shape
the unholy alliance between a few
cranks and body of intriguing poll
ticians.
One of the must prominent republi-
cans Of Wichita said in an open COM
munication that an immigration of
800, 900 had been prevented by prohi-
bition in Kansas. If the Texas dis
patch is typical Of the intention of Ger
mans the negative loss Of 300, 900 pop
ulation may be augmented by positive
loss of considerable dimentions. The
north Europe races like the Germans
and Swedes, are tenacious about per-
sonal rights. They came to this country
to get privileges, not to surrender
those they had before, and they have
endured discontentedly laws which un-
dertake to regulate their private eating
and drinking.
Probably the exodus of Germans and
Swedes from Kansas to license states
will not be extremely heavy. Men do
not easily surrender property they have
improved and 20 to the trouble and ex-
pense of moving their families. Very
strong reasons must be at work. The
disgust element in Kansas hopes for a
change.
The migration Of large colony from
the two prohibition states, however,
confirms that the Wichita papers, said
about the immigration turned away in
other directions. If families establish
ed on the soil gather together their ef-
fects and move into another state, new
ly arrived emigrants Of the same opin-
ions, with free choice before them,
will very naturally choose states whose
avs agree with their conception Of ill.,
erty.
Kansas is growing weary of the ex-
oensiye reign Of cranks and ringsters.
