TRADING ON A SACRED NAME.

From the Leavenworth Times
1t is useless to mince matters. There
is a growing feeling that the name of
the veteran of the late war is being used
in a way to bring reproach upon his
record and his patriotic character. Those
who are doing it may not intend 1t; in
deed. some of those who are so using it
were good soldiers and are now the ear
nest champions of the rights of the
needy veterans.
The people of Kansas are so largely
connected with the soldier element that
their representatives are induced to sup
port anv measure presented IN their be-
half. Accordingly the legislature en-
dorsed the proposition which looks to the
establishment of two state soldiers homes
in this state, one at Hays City and the
other at Fort Dodge. If the state can
obtain these reservations and
the buildings on them there
is ground for an argument in
favor of the proposition. But are two
such homes needed? 1t may be well to
try the experiment with one, but until it
is tried and it is ascertained what the ex-
pense will be, why start a second one at
the same time? Why was such propo-
sition made to the legislature? Simply
because the committee of the Grand
Army having the matters in charge
would not take the responsibility Of de-
Gliding which of the two eager applicants
for the home should be recommended
They would not decide. we understand
/ because such a decision would canse q
division which would go far to prevent
/ the establishment of any state home
! In other words. the parties immediately
I interested were not so anxious to esta b.
/ lish a soldiers home as they were 10
! secure its location in their own city. Il
/ is not the needy veteran that they
/ had in mind, but the building up o.
their town by securing the establish,
ment of such an institution in ii. Now
what shall we call this sort OF thing. i
we do not stigmatize it as an attempt 10
use the name of the needy veteran K
boom local enterprises:
There would be little harm in this i
/ everybody would take the pains to un
! derstand ii, but they will not. Peopl
will see what is demanded and will a
once declare that the '-old veteran want
the earth" when. as q matter of fact
he is wanting nothing, asking for moth
ing but such aid in his helpless days a
the great government which he save
owes him.
The state encampment of the Gram
Army meets today in Emporia and thi
matter will come before it-can il no
take some wise and brave action tina
Will relieve the veterans it represent
of the imputation that the organizatio
is allowing its name TO be used TO pro
mote city booms and real estate specu
iation?

Learn to Economic.

The following good advice from the
agricultural columns of the Iowa State
Register is recommended to the thought
full consideration Of every farmer In
Kansas:
..Trials are seldom without their COM
pensatioDs. When the farmers produce
IS high, and prices flush, carelessness
and extravaganza are the inevitable re
suits. Then is the time when mems
Judgment is warped and his vision blind
Ell. He is thrown off his guard. he
INDUCES in extravagant bargains ana
carelessly contracts debts. Then when
closer times come, large debts have
to be paid with low prices for labor and
produce. The present time is favorable
for intoxicating economy and enforcing a
moral Then let our readers recollect
that man is happier in his old house
with cramped conveniences, than he can
be in a large mansion with heavy
mortgage on it. Or a family can go to
church i'll a farm wagon as easily, and
worship more devoutly than they can
with fine carriage with a mortgage on
the carriage and horses, especially II 1t
he inst after harvest and the chlnch
bugs have taken all the grain. Ii IN
the farm wagon they will not be EN-
barrassed if they should meet old Sill
yerthorn. who generally has the chattel
mortgages on fine horses and carriages.
Stick to the old house and the wagon,
and to q clear conscience and happy
mind. until YOU have the money and
SPARE cash to build and to buy.
1t is not generally the best policy to
borrow money to buy more land, and
give q mortgage on the new land and the
old farm. Interest eats like a canker-
it devours day and night; it rests not for
cold or heat; it spares not the high OF
the humble-it eats on forever, and cries
for more. He that is caught in its
meshes is not WISE Now is the time To
learn and to learn it SO you will never
forget-that 100 bushels of corn can be
raised as easily on one acre. as on three
with one-half the labor. 1t is a good
time to have the fact ground into all of
the senses, that 800 pounds of pork can
now be made for half the cost
in eight months that your father
took thirty years ago to make IN
eighteen months. And this is a good
time to learn, and to practice score OF
other practical lessons, which you Will
never learn when the products OF the
farm are extravagantly high. Thousands
of families are made unhappy by reck-
lessly contracting debts when times are
flush, for matters of mere show, which
add little or nothing to the comfort, con
venience or respectability of the family.
Then accept of the present time as the
most favorable opportunity to seek
practical wisdom, and to instill into
your family those true lessons of econo-
nv. and to learn from whence true con-
| tentment comes.

MODERN MARTYRS.
The Persecution Suffered by Christian
Missionaries and Converts In Uganda


The Persecution Suffered by Christian
Missionaries and Converts In Uganda
my SUM-
When Stanley came home from his trip
across Africa he said there was grand
opportunity for missionaries in Uganda
His glowing description of the country,
teeming with 1900, 900 Of intelligent and
fairly industrious people, fired the hearts
of English Christians. They sent several
missionaries TO live in the beautiful coun-
try near Victoria Nyanza, in Uganda's
chief town. French Roman Catholics
soon followed the English pioneers, and
all worked hard and zealously TO help and
instruct the natives. Il costs, the French
tell US, 5000 to put a missionary in Gem
trail Africa. These Uganda missions have
cost not only many thousands OF dollars,
but also the lives of three white men and
years of ceaseless toll and anxiety. The
news reach ed us last week that the fruits
Of all these priceless labors and sacrifices
have been wiped out In bloody tragedy.
The King Of Ugunda has murdered al the
converts Of the missionaries, who are
themselves in great peril and imploro as
sistance.
For awhile bright future seemed to be
before these missions. They built
churches, and made quite a number OF
converts A short time before King
Mtesa's death about eighty converts were

occasion. Old and young crowded the

digging wells and building a cart But
the Kings counselors always viewed these
whites with suspicion. They often ad-
vised the King 10 kill them On the plea
that they wers subverting the ancient be-
iiefs and undermining his hold upon bis
subjects.
King Mtesa on the whole was friendly
10 the missionaries, and they and 'her

Europe in the last 1000 years owes all
its greatness to agriculture, though
crushed nearly to death with large and
expensive standing army, a worthless

on a peace footing. Still we have our
defects which we are trying TO remedy:
Let America emulate the example OF
China and encourage agriculture instead
of paving out millions for foreign wool

Suppose a scourge should break out
among the sheep and silk worms, as
it is more liable to there than

Suppose a silk or wooden trust combines

being done, what may the result be? We
ought to have the foresight of Japan or
hind-sight of England, who IS now de-
veloping the growing of cotton, wool

America has plenty of land, as good as

a great impetus to silk culture In Kan

THE SOUTH'S ESTIMATE OF THE
PRESIDENT.

So much has been said in the public
prints about the policy likely to be adopt
ed by President Harrison towards the
south that the public, particularly of the
north and west, naturally feel curious tx
know how the new administration is re-
garded and his declarations in his in
augural address touching that subject is
received in the south. We subjoin edi-
torial comments are from number of the
leading southern papers upon the advent
of the new administration, which we
think may be taken as fair reflex OF
the popular sentiment of the people they
are supposed to represent:

Those who have been making esti-
mates assert that the corn crop of this
year at the prevailing price is worth less
by $4,000, 900 than the small crop of 1887.
and further. that the wheat crop which
is 100000 bushels less than that Of
1887, is worth 100000 more than the
product of last year. The estimated corn
crop of 1888 was 1887. $50, 600 bushels.
while that of 1887 was 53O. 000. 900 less.
If these figures are correct, the smaller
the crops the more the farmers get for
them. But you can't make the farmers
believe that story. Indeed, it is not best
that they should. The true policy of the
farmer is TO plan for as much crop as he
can tend properly, just as though the en-
tire community depended upon his fields
and labor for its food supply. 1t rarely,
if ever. occurs that every farmer of a
neighborhood or county obtains full
yield of all the crops he seeds for. But,
even if that were the case, as a rule the
most prosperous farmers are those who
reap full haryests. without regard to
prices they may obtain for the surplus
on the open market. One year with
another the farmer who raises !. 00C
bushels Of corn and gets only % cents 6

1t is very evident that President Har-
rison is not going to prove physically
equal to the tax imposed upon him if
something isn't done to change the mode
of conducting the public receptions at
the White House The policy of hand
shaking heretofore in vogue and en-
couraged by Mr.. Cleveland, was at times
almost beyond his herculean powers OF
endurance. and for Mr.. Harrison to con-
tinue the practice with the throngs
largely augmented as they are, will soon
wreck him, physically, being of much
weaker muscular power. The practice
should be abandoned, else done by
proxy.
