A SOUTHERN MARKET.

sans;
The steamship Propitious, the yes.
sci that is to Garry the first cargo of
Kansas corn from this port TO the Eur
opean market, has arrived and will be
loaded as speedily as possible. The
business men are taking much interest
in this enterprise, and this is the inau-
guration of grand work for the great
west"
"a leading iiyePyman lately brought
here several carloads Of Kansas bred
horses, and the readiness with which
they found purchasers would indicate
that this is good market for Kansas
bred horses. The Kansas bred horse
seems to be entirely at home in this
climate. Those brought here are large,
well built and snowy rOadsters, just
what is demanded, At reasonable pri
ces Kansas horse Faisers will find q
ready market here for good stock"
Then, it is safe to say these will be
the entering wedges to market that
must, in few years, be blessing to
Kansas. Heretofore, Kansas has only
rad one outlet, sI1 that was the same
one used by all the agricultural states
it was to the east.
If deep harboE is secured at Calves
ton, it means that Kansas grain will go
there.
The other item, about horses, is also
of much Importance. and in this county
of Barber, where there is such grow
ing interest in raising good horses, our
stockmen should take heed of what is
said in the dispatch.

The fight between Judge Foster, of
the United States district court, and
Editor Hudson, of the Topeka Capital.
that originated over a discussion of pro-
hibition, promises to open up in most
interesting manner very soon. 1t will
be remembered that the judge wrote an
open letter scorching the editor and
charging the Capital with collecting ille-
gal fees for publication notices that
came from the federal court. The edl-
tor replied and skinned the judge in a
most scientific manner. Then the legal
notices were taken from the Capital and
given to another paper, started in the
interest Of resubmission but that pa
per died. This month the grand jury
at Topeka indicted Editor Hudson for
collecting the illegal fees, and the editor
intimates that it was at Judge Foster s
instigatlon that the indictment was
prepared. He also lntimates that the
grand jury was selected for the very
purpose, and he also duplicates the jury
commissioners in the scheme to secure
a fixed grand jury. 1t is republican
fight, and we hope it will be one to ex-
termination, in the language OF a sena-
tor. If Hudson wins, ne will try and
have Foster lmpeached. If he is lm-
peached and there is a democrat elect
ed president in 1892, there will be a
democratic judge. And if; but

A BUDDHIST MARRIAGE.
What q Missionary Saw in the Palace of tn,
Governor of CambOdia.

What Missionary Saw In the Palace of the
Governor of CambOdia.
A missionary describes . marriage
ceremony which he witnessed in the
palace of the Governor of Cambodia, as
follows:
II was ushered, amid a tremendous
din of gongs, into large room beyond
the reception hall, where were seated
the Governor and about a hundred no.
blemen and invited guests. The BRIDE
groom, young man about twenty years
OF age, elegantly attired in silk gar.
ments, was also there.
by the time We foreigners were
seated, q procession-headed by the
bride, supported on either side by de-
mure-lOoking matrons, composed princi-
pally of aged or married women, all ele-
gantly attired - entered and slowly
marched toward the Governor.
1.-THE bride was not particularly in,
teFesting as regards personal charms;
she. was young, however, and dressed
richly and in good taste. Besides her
silk dress she wore a gold-embroidered
scarf upon her shoulders; also gold rings
upon her fingers, bracelets upon her
1.-The bride took up her position near
the bridegroom, both sitting upon the
door, but not looking toward each other;
In fact throughout the entire ceremony
they both were perfectly impassive and
nonchalant
"4he marriage ceremony proper now
began. A number of wax candles were
brought in salver, and then lighted by
one of the mobiles. The silver waiter was
then passed round before the company
eight times, each one in turn saluting
the couple and wishing them good fortune
by waving or blowing the smoke toward
them, thus expressing something like
the old English custom of throwing the
slipper after newly-married couple
the band of string instruments playing
the meanwhile. Two large velvet cush-
Ions having been previously placed be-
fore the bride and bridegroom, and upon
them large sword, the leader of the
theatricals now came forward and went
through, for few moments, most fan
tastical sword exercise Dishes had
heeB placed before the couple upon the
floor, with covers upon them Nothing,
however, was eaten.
Next the hands of the expectant
couple were bound together, and to
each other, with silken threads, by the
women attendants, probably some near
relatives. Thus were they truly joined
in Buddhist wedlock. And this COM

REPUBLICANS DID IT.

The charge was made that the state
alliance that condemned Senator In
gals was made up, principally, of dem
Ocrats. President Clover was asked
about it and In letter to the Meade
County Democrat, he answered that
the statement was untrue. In his
answer he told other things that will
be of interest to those who charge that
the alliance is made up wholly of DEM
Ocrats, union labor men and independ-
ents. He says: "Of my own knowledge,
know of but two democrats among
all the assemblage of presidents and
one Of those to my certain knowledge
voted against the Ingalls, resolution.
Il presume that there were more re-
publlcans in proportion to the voters,
of the respective political parties, than
any other. Am satisfied that three
fourths of them are republicans. AL
though the alliance claims to pay no
attention to party, yet, it has often been
the case that organization has been
been postponed in order that leading
republicans of the locality might be had
to take part in the organizations, and
this has always been done in order that
the charges now filling the partisan
papers should have no foundation OF
appearance of truth. This preference
always given the dominant party is the
reason l know that the republicans had
more than proper proportion or at least
as many, i'll proportion, to numerical
strength of the different parties as any
other -
