KANSAS IMMUNITY FROM PESTS.

Do our farmer friends ever compare
their advantages with the opportunities
of their eastern brethren? They certain
ly do, for they are intelligent citizens,
but we never relax our interest and
often speak of them for the benefit of
our distant readers. Just now a new
pest has appeared in parts of the east
that destroys the meadows and pastures;
1t is a small worm that feeds upon the
grass. Only a few years ago such a
pest appeared there that worked beneath
the surface and ate the roots leaving
above the surface a dead and dry mat,
necessitating the blowing up of all fields
where they appeared. Our prairies have
never failed to produce an abundance of
rich paSturage and hay. Another item
by way of comparison: our meadows
do not have to be top dressed with ex-
pensive fertilizers to get them started;
hence we would not meet so great loss
as the eastern farmer even if visited by
those pests. With the exception Of the
grasShoppers one or two seasons several
years ago Kansas farmers have never
been seriously annoyed with insect pests
in their crops.

STAY IN KANSAS.

From the Wallace County Gazette.
A three weeks visit to the much adj
vertised northwest has entirely cured US
of a desire to change our location to
either Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon,
or even the much over rated Puget
Sound country. Neither of the places
above mentioned can compare in the
slightest particular with western Kansas.
The people IN Washington and Oregon
are wild with the real estate speculation
fever In the Puget Sound country ev-
cry five acre tract has been made town
site, but no surrounding country to back
it. In every case eastern investors have
been made victims They have been let
in on The ''ground floor" only to be drop
ped into the cellar.
In western Washington, in your effort
to clear a farm of its timber and rubbish,
after twenty years of hard work you
will have only ten acres cleared and a
broken back for your trouble. The
towns are all overdone and idle laborlng
men is the rule. In Wyoming and Idaho
the plains are dotted with dead and
putrid cattle. owing to the long, pro
tracted and severe winters and scarcity
of feed. Stay right here. You are a
thousand times better OFF than the peo-
pie of the northwest.

A VOLUME IN ONE SENTENCE.

lie who utters d great truth in one
brief expression is like the great general
who through one well planned move
ment of his army brings victory to his
cause and eternal fame TO himself. But
a single good thought born OF greatness
Is a legacy to mankind, imperishable,
and Is greater than that which often
fades away and Is soon forgotten. As
an illustration of what volume can be
brought forth In single utterance let us
take Horace Greeleys advice Of, $50
west, young man" How many have
read these few words and followed i'm
pIicitly and confidently their simple yet
valuable direction. What did the great
commoner mean when he said this? His
great mind had undoubtedly grasped the
situation in the over-crowded east,
and beheld with equal clear
ness the great undeveloped west,
where the fullness of the earth knew no
limitation, where boundless prairies
rolled away in the magnificent distance,
and where mountains with their treas
ures of precious metals Wed with the val
leys rich and productive in soil, in pro-
viding labor and the promise of Just
and liberal reward. But tickle the virgin
soil and bounteoUS recognition of the
husbandman's skill springs forth; and let
the miner strike deep his pick and drill
into the towering cliff and the echo is
heard in the great minis of the world.
Horace Greedy knew what untold
wealth awaited development in the great
west and directed the young man full of
energy and Drawn TO come hither and
seek a new home and certain reward.
He came, and how many have found the
rich heritage of this good old man! How
many have found both fame and fortune,
while if they had remained in the east
naught but a scanty existence would
have been the reward for incessant toll.
No more fitting example of the effect
Of following this advice of the age can
be found than in our glorious state and
our own fair Wichita. Many of our
leading men less than a score of years
ago. left their eastern homes and friends
to seek a new home and carve out for
themselves q firm fCothOld in the numer-
GUS field Of business, aud success crown
ed their efforts far beyond their most
saungine expectations, and wealth and
untold luxury surround them, and they
find boundlesS pleasurein happy reality.
To the young men of the east we say
come west! Come to Wichita, and in
beholding what city can be built in
few years, you but witness what can be
accomplished in brief space Of time by
individual effort.

NEWSPAPER WORK.
From the Omaha Republican.

From the Omaha Republican,
Once a newspaper man always a news
paper man. First Assistant Postmaster
General Garrison is another illustration
OF this truism. Only few months have
interviewed since he was grinding away
at the editorial desk, yet he is already
Tired Of official life and yearning for
journalistic work once more. Why is it
that newspaper toll is so attractive: Why
Is it that after one enters the service one
never wishes to leave it? 1t is not be-
cause the work is light, for newspaper
men work longer hours than any other
class of toilers. And it Is not because of
the compensation. for heaven knows
they are paid little enough. That which
holds men in the service Is something
altogether different from these things.
1t is sentiment and love of work. No
man can render efficient service unless
he likes his employment. and the love
which the writer for the press bears to-
ward his mistress and her service Is more
than love. 1t is devotion. \ man does
not adopt journalism simply as a means
OF ivihoOd; but because his mcli-
nation and tastes draw him in
that direction. lie feels that he
Is specially fitted for newspaper work.
and when he once takes up the pencil he
never wants 10 lay ii down: There Is a
mysterious inspiration and fascination
about the work, and he who adopts the
profession throws his whole soul into It.
If there Is any enthusiasm IN man it

interested. jealous. enthusiastic Though
the pay may be small and his hours long
he is never discouraged and never

leEiance and he stands by his colors
through thick and thin. His service Is a
life service, and, Notwithstanding the
drudgery, the newspaper man is nearly
always ight-hearted and happy. Moth
ing troubles him.
1t is difficult TO explain Just wherln

his business-whv he doesn't seek easier

tirely different and new, and awakens
new thoughts and new ideas. 1t is full
Of responsibilities and cares, and each
toiler has the consciousness that he has a
distinct and important place to fill-that
his work is necessary and valuable. All
of these things tend to keep up interest
and enthusiasm. And then the fact that
he can see his finished work before him
each day is of itself an inspiration and
an incentive to redoubIed efforts. If his
work is meritOrious he is commended.
His ambition is aroused and he strives to
accomplish loftier and higher things.
The journalist stands on an elevation
and watches and records the doings of
others. After being a spectator and a

The profuse display of confederate
flags at Richmond on the occasion of the
dedication of the Lee monument may
have been considered as evidence of a
lack of wholehearted loyalty to the Union,
but the action of those same people in
raising $50, 900 cash the same day towards
completing the proposed monument to
General Grant in New York showed that
their admiration for the grand hero of
the union cause has not abated one whit
by lapse of time nor apparently adverse
circumstances.

The secretary of the state board of
agriculture of Maine reports that the de-
cline in the price of farming land in
that state has been fully so per cent dur
ing the last twenty years, and 80 per
cent of the shrinkage has taken place
within the past decade. At present
there is no demand for farming land at
any price. The same conditions are re-
ported to exist to an equal extent in sew
eral eastern states. What has been their
loss has been a relative gain to the west.
But nothing could be more natural.
Self interest is the great handspring to
human action.

It is a rather curious fact that the diff

plurality in 1856 and Harrisons plurality
in 1888 was only fifty-three votes. Yet,
in spite Of this political steadfastuess, the
Vermont Democrats have mapped out a
plan for on aggressive campaign. The
Vermont Democrat, with a drearv past
and a hopeless future, Is at least entitled
TO the respect and admiration Of his
party associates.
