It is singular the amount of bitter
animoslty,, vituperative abuse and un-
called for denunciation hurled against
Grover Cleveland by the republican
papers. There is an apparent explain
a&ion for this and it is that they fear
him, and deep down in their hearts they
respect HIM. 1t gals and chafes them
when they hear some distinguished re-.
publican like Chauncy NJ. Depew de-
clare that Grover Cleveland sis splen-
did type of the typical American" or
when . distinguished protectionist like
Andrew Carnegie publicly pays trib-
ute to his uprightness, honesty, and
fearlessness. How cheap tawdy, not
to say contemplate, appear the sneers
and insults thrown at Grover Cleveland
By these small fry, in comparison with
the leaders Acknowledgements of true

THE DODGE SCHOOL OF THE.
OLOGY.

One of the fixed institutions of South
west Kansas is The Dodge School OF
Theology. 1t was organized December
2, 1887, and incorporated the same
year. The Southwest and the North
west Kansas Conferences approved 1t
by appointing official visitors. The
school opened in June, 1888 as an e1-
pertinent. It has proved success.
1t has grown in favor. Its warmest
friends are its students, who number
now near sixty, and who hold = MEM
bership in eleven annual conferences,
and reside in as many states or terri
tories. The Alumni numbers a score
of our brightest young men, all OF
whom are IN the active itlnerant work.
The object of The Dodge School OF
Theology is to furnish at nominal cost,
Biblical and Theological knowledge,
and a thirst for broader culture, to
those in active ministerial ranks, and
others, who cannot 60 to a school that
would require long terms, great dis
tance and large expense.
In The Dodge School of Theology
very much is crowded into its short
terms. To furnish an outline, where
to find what is wanted, suggestive plans
of study, enough to sharpen the appe'
tite and to cause the student to think
for himself, is its aim. 1t brings the
young itinerant into intellectual touch
with the growing thought of the church

ers, it equips him for the work of to-
day.
Bishops, editors, educators, leaders
of thought in the church, as far as they
have examined the plans and work Of
the school, are very hearty in theil
commentators. Not one has spoken
disparagingly. They seem to see in ii
solution of the problem-how to
reach the mass of preachers with need
ed knowledge and culture. The late
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, after a careful
examination, credited its foundation to
Gan inspiration from Heaven.
The Dodge School Of Theology owns

Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity ideas, pre-
sent most remarkable change of front.
Mr.. Blaine is indirectly responsible
for the high tariff attitude of the re-
publican party today. 1t was he who
sprang to the fore, when Mr.. Cleve-
lands message made its appearance.
and he it was who, through his coun-
ter message, committed the republican
party to the stand it assumed against
lowering of duties. Mr.. Blaine's mas
ter political stroke won, and MIR. Harri-
son was landed in the white house.
But the campaign of education went
on, and Mr.. Blaine, with the eye of
prophet, saw that the seed sown in 1888
by the democrats, bore fruit in 1890.
Taking time by the forelock, Mr..
Blaine has made a mighty jump clear
ing the Chinese wall, and landed on
reciprocity. Mr.. Blaine saw that the
people did not understand the tariff
question in 1888. Mr.. Blaine sees
that they are understanding it better
every day and that they will have thor
oughly mastered it by 1892. The 9TH
er republican leaders are not gifted with
Mr.. Blaine powers of perception and
the rock upon which the split will oc-
cur, will be high protection. The Sec
retary of state is, without doubt, advo-
eating policy-reciprocal trade
which would be of vastly more benefit
for the American people than protect
ion. But the fact that he forced them
to accept the high tariff policy, which
is now proving so disastrous, augers i'll
for him ever receiving another nomi-
nation as the champion of reciprocity.
Harrison, Mckinley and Reed, who fol-
lowed Mr.. Blaine's lead to high tariff
waters, will not relish the idea of leav-
ing them stranded, while he sails into
port on a reciprocity craft. They have
attempted to carry out the points made
in Mr.. Blaine's Paris message, by pill
ing on tariffs, while Mr.. Blaine, after
casting glance over the political hor-
izon, has concluded that times have
changed and steers away from the high
tariff. Protection is proving a mill
stone around the neck of the republi-
can party in more ways than one, but
Mr.. Blaine does not propose to be
dragged to the bottom of the sea.

OUR FAMOUS UNDERFLOW.

From The Chicago Herald.
There has been growing upon those
who have studied the plains of Kansas
the conviction that agriculture in the
western third of the state, is beyond
question failure, unless a more per-
manent water supply can be obtained.
A new theory has been broached. that
of irrigation by means of the "under-
flow" in the river valleys, and it has
been tested with remarkable success.
In searching for and investigating the
water sources, it was discovered that
underneath the great valley of the Ark
ansas, and presumably under the beds
of all rivers of Western Kansas, if not
under the plains, lies hidden . vast
body of water. The possibility of u.s.
ing this as source from which to sup
ply the bitches naturally arose, and
practical tests have just been completed
that prove the entire reasonableness of
the theory.
The vicinity Of Dodge City, about
100 miles from the western line of the
state in the Arkansas valley, was Sc
lected as the place for the experiment
just completed. There was opened q
ditch fourteen feet WIDE and drifting
westward up the valley. The river
falls seven feet to the mile, and the
ditch was commenced three feet below
the surface, and extended westward On
a grade of three feet to the mile, which
soon brought it below the level of tie
river bottom.
The ditch was extended until the ex-
cavation was found to be twelve feet
deep, and SIX feet below the river bot
tom. Into the ditch thus dug into the
the solid earth, drained the uuderAow.
So great was the drainage that at the
point of beginning dam was construct
ed, ard the amount of water flowing
over it was thirty cubic feet per Sec
ond.
A ditch was opened easterly along
the higher land, at a fall of only one
and seven-tenths feet per mile, SO that
by the time the ditch reaches . point
southeast of Dodge City there is . per-
pindicular fall of nearly or quite twen-
ty feet, with water supply as con.
slant as the everlasting hills, or at
least SO considered.
The ditch thus far constructed, and
which it is believed will furnish . per-
manent, supply the year round, As it
was completed at the close of the dry
est year ever known in Western Kan
sas. will irrigate about 25, 900 acres of
land and has been built at cost of $50
600. The propnetors believe that,
with their experience they could now
do the same amount of work for At
least $40, 900 less.

The Wall street panic is over, and it
is said that Jay Gould is $50, 100000
more in pocket as a result. One be-
gins to wonder whether the calamity
shriekers are altogether wrong or not
when one man can make millions of
dollars in a month, and not dollar of
it in legitimate trade.
