He 10 there to do all that he can for
the power that put him there, and
with his prestige now and that which
would accure By his return. he could
accomplish vast deal more than ever
before, especially with the augmented
force that the west will uDquestion-
ably gain over the east under the new
apportionment.
Now, we ask reasonable and fair
disposition, by our alliance readers,
of these propositions. They are log
ical and sensible, if we do write them.
The old soldiers in the alliance ought
to do all in their power to affect this
amicable adjustment of the political
phase of their institution With the
most remarkable statesman now in
the U. S. senate His retura thereto
would be an honor to them, to the
state, and Kansas would still lead

Alliance kesolations.


In the report of the proceedings of
the Marshall county alliance We find
the following:
I'VE passed no resolutions; We mean busi-
ness
We wish more of our sub and county
alliances would get down to business
on the same basis. The St. Louis de-
mands are all the resolutions we need
at this time. Let US all get squarely
pom these demands and stand there,
nefusing to either add to or abate a
word or sylab.e. Upon this platform
let US win or loose. If we refuse to
consider other issues, or permit our
attitude to be diverted from these by
the persistent efforts and cunning
schemes Of the enemy, our position is
invulnerable and the powers of bell
cannot prevail against us.-Alliance
Advocate.

to the tariff bill; but it is noticeable
that they all come from democratic
sources. The republican Senators,
who will decide the matter, are not
talking about it, certainly not for
publication. hut that they will take
care of the interests Of the people, as
the republican party has always done
is not for . momeat to be d0ubted;
therefore republicans can afford to
patiently wait for the action OF the
Senate, knowing that the bill finally
passed will sembody the ideas and
for which the republican
party has stood, for 10, these many
wears.
Thomas County cat., 1890-08-07

If the democratic Senators have nc
stronger arguments to offer against
the Mckinley tariff bill than those
made by senator Vorhees in his
speech delivered in the senate this
week, they might as well retire
ful .C.io,', lis year any way. As
aphrase maker Mr.. Vorhees is evident
ly trying to run opposition to MIR.
Cleveland: but he seems to lack the
originality of the ex-President. 1t is
understood that the republican senat-
oys will make no set speeches on the
tariff bill until the appropriation bills
have all been disposed of by the SEN
ate.

The selection of c. NJ. Hove,

The selection of c. NJ. Hovey of
Thomas county, as candidate for
state Auditor is conceded by the en-
tire western part of the state, to have
been wise. In his administration of
the financial affairs of Thomas county
in the capacity of Treasurer, there has
been pointed out an example that can
be safely followed by his successors.
He has made an official as well as pri.
vate record that cannot be successful-
ly assailed by the enemy, and one up
on which tie people of western Kan
sas can look with pride and satisfac.
tion. 1t is believed by all that there
will be no serious opposition to his
election to that important state posi-
tion.-Herndon Courant.
Thomas County cat., 1890-08-07

C. NJ. Hovey of Colby, candidate
for state Auditor, takes great interes,
in farming and the farmers. In con.
yersation with Morning Times re.
porter, Mr.. Fl. states that he favors
the forest problem as a mode OF
watering western Kansas. He men.
tions as example that six or seven
centuries ago, Prussia was too dry
and barren to be titled. By carefully
-celtivating a species Of pine on abou,
one eighth of the land, the country
was r1deemed. The Kansas "dry
spells" would be undoubtly Influenced
for the better by q similar procedure.

What Has ingalls, Done!

opponents, ana answered. Dy the
Meade Republican, from which we
quote:
No brief newspaper article can give
even a condensed recital of the work
Of Senator Ingalls, during his eigh-
teen years of service for Kansas in
the United States Senate.
But let US briefly recount what
ingalls, has done. He has favored all
measures that have been for the in
terest, welfare and benefit of our peo.
pie. No ono could do more, and few
AS we'll. He has led in legislation ia
voring the old soldier He has labor
ed for free coinage He has labored
earnestly for an increase in the circu
latin. medium of the country. he has
used his powerful influence to secure
cheaper transportation; he has urged
a revision Of the tariff; he has been a
power for Universal education, the
boast of Kansans; his voice has been
for honest money and more of it, and
Tor maintenance of the public credit;
in advocating fair elections his invec-
tives have beer hurled into the ranks
f treason like shafts of steel, to. evil
doers, who now for this reason seek
his displacement; he has asked for
equal justice to al. classes of citizens
and for the amelioratiOn of the people
His vote was for a change in the laws
that would enable Kansas to protect
her people and b ,mes from the rum
ridden fiends who would rob US of our
chief source of delight. Who could
do more?
Kansans are neither inappreciative
nor ungrateful. They have for eight
cen years admired John j. Ingalls,: he
has been the pride of our people; and
when they learn that the animosity
now being used against him is because
he has served his people and party SC.
well, it will fall harmless at his feet.
The man whom the nation adores
can not be loved less by the people of
his own state, who because of him,
through his matchless eloquence, oc-
cupies so proud position in the
grand sisterheod of states.
What has Ingalls, done? Far bet
ter ask what he has net done for Kan
sas; its recital would occupy far less
space. Kansans will not listen to the
democratic cry, but in his reelection
prove their confidence in him and their
approval of his course.

How to Handle Sheep Manure.

A writer in the Household says: Ma
nure made from sheep while in the
barns has been a source of trouble to
many beginners in sheep husbandry.
Do not clear out the sheds by throwing
the manure in heaps. 1t heats and be-
comes worthless. Instead, let the ma
nure remain as it is, closely packed by
the sheep, until about four days before
you wish to use it. Then draw it to a
level spot of ground, or what is more
convenient, into hollow, tip the load, ,
turn your team and drive back over it..
Drive the next load over the first, and
return as before. Continue to do this
until the manure is all in the pile. Then
have the edges of the pile laid up, the
top leveled and solidly trodden down
as unevenness of the pile causes it to
heat, or burn, much sooner in the high
est points than in others. If there
should happen to be rain Immediately
after the manure is on the pile, it would
be beneficial. After remaining the
proper length of time-usually about
four days-the farmer will find he has
one of the best piles of dressing he
ever used on his land. The hard
leathery fakes will all be decomposed,
and the entire heap be in the best pos
sible condition to spread on the land"
