THE LITERARY WEST.

That beyond the native heath and fa-
vorite haunts of the original Western
Association of Writers-as representing
Indiana. Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and
Michigan-there exists a yet more West
ern West, with its due production of
ambitious and aspiring writer's, is at
tested by the announcement that the
Western Authors and Artists Club will
hold its third convention, at Kansas
City, next week. On the programme
the Kansas mind naturally puts its best
foot foremost, and ga humorous Sketch
by Tom p. Morgan, contributor to Har-
pers," constitutes the Introductory num-
Der. Reasonably impressive this, it
must be admitted; a genuine contribu-
tor to Harper is not to be slightingly re-
garded. The next considerable item is
"a Study of an American Poet, by
William Tibbals, A. NJ, Phi. d., of Park
College" Following this. in nicely
graded importance, and with just defer
ence to a great profession, comes "Dis-
cussiOn. led by the Hon. Joseph Graham,
of the Kansas City Times" A paper on
appreciation of Illustrative Art, by HI.
Nj. Sherman, artist of the Kansas City
Times" a humorous sketch, Incidents
of Travel, by w. Bob Holland,
editor of the Chicago LIAR" interpo-
lated poems, and short address
es by the Ex-Governor of Idaho,
Colonel Inman, the Mayne Reid of
Kansas, and VIM. Nj. Paxton, the veneer
able poet, round out the programme.
Comparisons have been declared odious,
but they are only so stigmatized by the
victims thereof, and are always pro-
foundly gratifying to individuals on
the right side of the contrast. Review
may be made, then, from purely honest
reasons and with no malice, of the Kan
sas programme. with its N lonely mag
azine contributor, its two professors,
two native editors, two colonies, two
women writer's, one Ex-Governor and one
borrowed Chicago editor, in contrast
with the glittering possibilities of the
Mid Western Association. Particular
zatioR is unnecessary, and may posi-
bly, be dangerous. "No names being
mentioned, no offense can be took"
as unliterary Sairey Camp would ex-
press it. Of magazine contrib
utors, the Mid Western Association has
a score or more on its member

Colonies, librarians, judges, doctors,
lawyers, a bewildering embarrassment

AMONG the so-called debutantes of Wash
ington this winter, meaning young ladies
who will make their formal entry into So
ciety, is mentioned 1.-THE fifth daughter of
the C~hlef-justice." No doubt the young
lady has a Christian name, but when a man
has eight daughters and they enter society
in single file, it is necessary to distinguish
them numerically. The fifth daughter is
described as "a very pretty blonde, and
quite a contrast to her musical sister mum
Der four, who is a brunette. Number One,
the eldest, does the housekeeping and rep
resents her mother in many social affairs.
Her other name is Grace. Number Four,
sometimes called Miss Mary. has recently

study music. One of the other number is
studying law, and they all take to special
ties.

THE records of the State Board of Agri-
culture show that the first State fair was
held in 1852. Hon. Joseph A. Wright was
Governor at that time, and took great in
terest in agricultural matters. The re-
ceipts of the fair that year were 81, 651.
The next year the fair was held at Lafay-
cite. and the next at Madison. In 1855 it
was held in this city, and each year there
after till 1860, when it went to New Albany.
Since then it has been held here every year,
except 1865, at Fort Wayne. and 1867. at
Terre Haute. The receipts of the fair have
increased from S1O.7s5. in 1864, to $751; $40 in
1887, and SO, 120 in 1888. Mr.. Alex. Heron,
present secretary of the State board, has
held that position continuously since 1872.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom Our Regular Correspondent

| (From Our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. G. Oct, %, 1889.
General Green B. Raum, the new
ly appointed Commissioner of Pen
sions, is in charge of the Pension of
flee to-day. Gen. Raum is man of
national representation; he served
one term in the House of Representa-
tives from the thirteenth Illinois dis
trict, but his greatest reputation was
gained as Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, a position he ably filled
from 1867 to 1888. His acceptance of
the office is great surprise here, as
it is we'll known that he gave up
law practice worth more than double
the salary OF the office. tits general
ly believed among republicans that
he accepted the office to relieve the
President from a very embarrassing
position.
Gen. Raum has a splendid war re-
cord, and is an enthusiastic working
member of the G. A. r. His appoint
ment has, honestly believe, given
more real and general satisfaction
here than any one made by the Presi-
dent.
Secretary Window has settled the
dispute over the admission of silver
lead ores from Mexico by deciding to
stand by ex.Secretary Sherman's
classification, which admits them
free.
The secretary of war has adopted
several amendments to army regula-
tons with view to getting a better
class of men to enlist, and to stop
ping the present high ratio of DESERT
ers from the army.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
has incurred the ill-will of some Vir-
ginia republicans. This is how: In
1886 a colored laborer from Virginia
place given to white democrat from
the same state named Wrenn. Some
Virginia republicans called on Mr..
Wanamaker to urge that Hunter be
put back into his old place. and were
thunderstruck when the Postmaster
General replied as follows: 1 appreci-
ate the interest shown in behalf of
Mr.. Hunter, and 1 regret that have
not the time to 60 over the case with
you. But so for as Mr.. Hunters re-
publicanism is concerned, that alone
shall not weigh in his favor, nor shall
the democracy of Mr.. Wrenn operate
against him. But" remarked one
of the delegation, "Wrenn's politics
got him inn 81 know" replied Mr..
Wanamaker. "They" (the democrats)
would turn us out, but 1 shall not
pursue that course" "Nice sort of
republican Wanamaker is" said one
of the VirginIans as they came out.
Senator Quay has leased Senator
Sawyer's house, and his family are
now here for the season.
Republicans are enjoying the Hill
Cleveland feud which has broken out
again with great bitterness. It's a
great waste of time as it is about as
likely that either of them will be king
of England as president of this coun-
try.
Thirty states will be represented at
the meeting here this week of the ma
tional board Of promotion of the
Worlds exposition of 1892. This
shows the percentage in favor of
Washington as the place of holding
the exposition.

necessary matters for the next con-
