Is not Kansas in danger of losing all the
the prestige she has justly acquired by her
magnificent majority in the petulsnt
abuse of the administration for want of
promptnesS in appointing office seekers to
all the good things in sight?-Lawrence
Journal
There has been no petulant abuse of
the administration by Kansas so far as
we have seen. 1t has been mildly crit
cized in an indirect sort of way, for the
dish of cold shoulder that is showed at
Kansas every time that she has asked
for anything, while more favored sup
plants who snuggle close up to the
throne are fed to surfeit on the choicest
sweet-meats on the menu. Kansas don't
ask any special favors from AIRY quarter,
but she has the right TO expect eauit-
able treatment on every part of the
ground. This she demands and if she
don't receive II she is mighty apt to want
TO know why. And that amt all: she
don't propose to sit like bump on a log
until everything worth having is dis
posed of and then slip around to the
back door and meekiy ask for plate of
scraps, for fear OF being criticized with
being assertive. The gods help those

Chief Justice Fuller should not be
wholly respondent because one of his

Republican candidate for president, aloped
with the daughter of Senator Benton;
that Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley. chairman

If anybody thinks there isn't two-inch
auger penetrating the soul of Marsh Muir
dock, let him read the following.-k. &.

The auger nor its bore is denied. Pres
:dent Harrison does not constitute the
American people, nor the Kansas dele
cation the people of this state. In the
heat Of the last campaign all this was
conceded. That was only six months
ago, yet it would seem that the lpresent
administration has already forgotten
that Cleveland has been an ex-president
less than thirty days. In our last talk
with President Cleveland just few
days before he stepped down and out,
he did not seem to regret his defeat SO
far as he was personally concerned. but
regretted it on account of the American
people, whom he evidently thought were
entitled to the worlds sympathy. Cleve-
land may have been wrong, but we have
as yet seen no convincing proof Of it.

Corporal Tanner, the new pension
commissioner, declares his intention to
pension every soldier who shouldered 2
musllet in defense of the Union during
the late war. a generous impulse, in
deed; but the commissioner is a little
previous in declaring what he will do.
Congress will very likely be influenced
TO some extent by the recommendations
of the chief Of the pension bureau, but
that body has the say as to who may re-
ceive pensions and how much. We
would suggest to the soldier boys in this
connection that they do not calculate ex-
travagantly on this subject, else they
may meet with disappointment. Con-
gress and the administration will no
doubt do what they consider the liberal
thing by the old soldiers, but what they
regard as liberal unexpectedly will not
accord with the ideas of the individ-
ual, particularly if he is an expectant

In 9 wet season crops may be drowned
out on low ground, but on high land
they do not suffer much. In dry
season, every thing is parched and
sickly, and the farmer or gardener
wishes he could utilize the abundant
supply Of water twenty or fifty feet
under the surface, or in the brook not
far away, which is running to waste.
Drought can beverly much mitigatoo
by tile draining, deep blowing,
thorough cultivation, high manurin1

order to shade the ground. These are
some of the simple though not alwayr
effective methods in long continued

Flour-The following mills were running

Anchor, Holly, st. Anthony. Pillsbury A and

output Of the fourteen mills grinding yester-
day will probably aggregate 1870 bbls.
Prices have worked off with the decline in
wheat; and. while the habit Of working on
small supply has become well fixed, the
tendency is to enlarge the orders for pur-
chases. There are some buyers that now re-
gard the market as a pretty safe one to buy
on, and begin to operate accordingly,
though there are others that have
not widened the former narrow linn
its. Altogether, the demand is not
enough yet to employ the full capacity
of local mills. There is some old flour on
hand, located at different points, and until 1t
is more nearly consumed there is no call fer
the most active grinding. Patents; sacks to
