In looking over our files this week
we find, under date of June q, 1882,
the report of county congressional
convention held at Wa-Keeney on
June 21st, of that year, and among
other proceedings recorded were the
following:
\ IS. j. Osborn was nominated AS dele.
gate to the congressional convention, and
unanimously elected by reclamation.
"W. 81. Pilkenton was chosen as alter.
nate.
"The following resolution was adopted
"ResolUed, That western Kansas is en-.
titled to at least two of the congressman
at large, and that we know we have in
Capt. B. j. F. Hanna an able, honest and
competent m6n for one Of said represent
atives; and that we hereby instruct our
delegate to use all honorable means to
secure the nomination of Capt. B. J. F.

Colby Convention ChastiSed.

The Colby convention which
nominated McNall contributed
more to the defeat of the republican
party in Kansas than is generally
supposed. The Indignation was not
confined to the sixth district alone,
but all over the state, the better
class of republicans felt outraged
and that it was time to administer a
rebuke to the party that counte-
nanced such methods as were resort
ed to at the Colby convention.
While we do not believe that the
republican party, of the sixth dis
trict, as a party, endorsed the meth
DDS adopted nor have we any
knowledge that would warrant US in
saying that McNall was a party
thereto, the fact still remains that
the great majority, the respectable
element, were outraged and they
have manifested their disapprobation
in a positive and and uumistakable
manner. Shall we profit by the ex-
perience? We extract the follow
ing from the GoodEand DARK Horse:
"These revolutions, however, are
not without their lessons and their
practical good. The Colby conven-
ton. with its history Of damnable
treachery and blackness, started the
ball of revolt which was carried
from the,6th district into every ham,
let in this great state of Kansas. and
we as republicans stand appalled, at
the sight. Had Sherman county's
four delegates been honestly seated,
the Infamous job put up to defeat
the will Of the people would not
have prevailed, and this terrible re-
Duke would have been saved the re-
publican party, not only in Sherman
county and the sixth district, but in
every county and district in the
state"

though we would, despite our strong
endeaVors to keep it away.
West of Ellis, Trego was about
the only county in northwest Kan
sas that was settled as early as 1878
and hence about the only one in
this section upon which a compare
son might be drawn. Trego county
has come nearer holding its own
since 1885 and 1885 than any coun-
ty in western Kansas west of Ellis
Besides the statements of the Ga
zette'S historian are absolutely incor-
rect as shown by the returns of the
census for the years 1880 and 1890.
At least four counties in western
Kansas, besides Trego, show a de-
crease in population since 1880,
Osborne, Rocks, Rush and Russell.
The indispensable requisites for a
successful historian are knowledge
and veracity. Better cling to fc-
ton and give history wide berth
in the future.

What Did It?

The Mckinley bill may have con,
tributed to the republican defeat II
the east but it was not even factor
in Kansas, Harrison Kelley voted
against the bill and was defeated
Funston defended the bill and was
reelected. Cleveland was elected on
the tariff issue and four years later
was defeated on the same, so that
we have good reasons for believing
that it was not the doctrine Of free
trade alone that resulted in a demo-
cratic victory even in the east. But
In Kansas, we repeat, free trade was
not even factor. A large major
ity of the peoples party are in favor
of a protective tariff to-day although
opposed to class legislation. as they
understand it. They are only OPP
posed to the Objectionable features
ofthe measure which, as they claim,
fayors the consumer at the expense
of the producer and to that extent,
only, opposed the Mckinley bill.
They did not adopt the democratic
idea of free trade.
So far as democratic gains in the
east is concerned, it was simply a
revolution. based upon nothing tan
gible, and something which is liable
to occur any off year and particular
ly during a season Of depression.

The Hibernian Historian HeedIessIy

J. F. Keeney, who founded Wa
keeney, one of the boom towns in
western Kansas in 1878. is now the
half owner of a big 100000 hotel
now going up on Rush street, Chi
cago. Keeney was a Chicago man
when he founded Wakeeney. He
led a colony of Chicago people to
Trego county, but the hardships of
frontier life were too much for the
city bred people. After one season
of hot winds and crop failure the
Chicago colonists fed. J. + Kee-
ney followed them and has resided
in Chicago ever since, where he has
made money. Wakeeney still re-

he did not appreciate them so much as

turned over new leaf and bought .

MhN Flowers Sleep.

That flowers sleep is evident 10 the
most casual observer. The daisy opens
at sunrise and closes at sunset, hence
its name-''day's eye" The morning

lives TO see another sunrise. The

o'clock in the morning, but closes Its
eyes during the middle Of the day; ;
the dandelion is in full bloom only
during strong light. This habit OF
some flowers i certainly very curious,
and furnishes one OF the mahy in.
stances which prove the singular adap,
liability of everything in nature. The
reason is found in the method by
which this class Of flowers is fertilized.
1t is obvious that flowers fertilized by
night flying insects would derive no
advantage by being open during the
day; and, on the other hand, that
those which are fertilised by bees
would gain nothing by remaining
open at night Why may we not sup.
pose, then, that the closing Of flowers
may have reference to the habits of in

observe that wind fertilized flowers
