Its True InwardneSS.


The true inwardness of the 'calt
skin racket is shown by the follow
ing from the Newport Express:
Some of Woodbury's friends have told us
privately that the 'calf skin racket would
be worked for all it was worth. Not many
DAYS aro the remark was made by an oppon-
ent of Mr.. Page that it didn' make any dill
ference whether the calf skin argument was
true or not: that the farmers OF Vermont
are a pack of id fools and will gulp the
story down Just as well as if it was true, and
YOU see if we don't make EN- believe 1t. We
think the speaker reckoned without his host
when he said that. We have more faith In
the candor, and good Judgment and sense OF
fairness of the farmers of Vermont than TO
think they will decide the question for the
gOvernorship flor it is in their hands TO de-
cide) upon any such bold assertion as the
above. Perhaps they like the epithet applied
to them
We believe the farmers of Vermont
will resent the above remark. Ihey

trail Vermont ring to name the noml-
nee for governor this year. They
know that Carroll S. Page is OppOs-

1t Was MIR. Harrison.

A laughable incident occurred at
Senator Morrill's birthday party, of
which the president was the victim.
Mrs. Senator Payne, mother OF Mrs.
Whitney, who, Notwithstanding her
years, is a bright, active little lady,
and very popular in official and so
cial circles of Washington, was about
to descend from the dressing room
hooded and wrapped for departure
when she was warmly greeted by a
gentleman in the hall, and paused
for a moments chat while awaiting
the appearance of her husband.
Looking up into her companion S
face with a slightly puzzled express
sion, she hesitated an instant, and
then with a charming candor re-
marked: 'Your face is very familiar,
sir, and | am sure that | know you,
but unfortunately cannot just now
recall your name" Anamused twin
kle cleaned in the gentleman's eyes,
but quickly hiding all surprise he
quietly replied: 'Iam Mr.. Harrison"

THE GOVERNOR QUESTION.
An Estimate of the Farmer.


Some of Mr.. Woodbury's friends
told us privately that the "calf skin
racket would be worked for all it
was worth. Not many days ago the
remark was made by an opponent OF
Mr.. Page that it didn't make any
difference if the calf skin argument
was true or not; that " the farmers
of Vermont are a pack of ID fools
and will gulp the story down as well
as if it were true, and you see If we
don't make 'em believe it. We
think the speaker reckOned without
his host when he said that. We have
more faith in the candor, good judg-
ment and sense of fairness of the
farmers of Vermont than to think
they will decide the question of the
Governorship flor it is in their hands
to decided upon any such bald asser-
ton as the above. Perhaps they like
the epithet applied to them.
We regret exceedingly that the can

The beet sugar industry in Nebras-
ka gives promise of not only in
crcasing but profitable proportions.
Among other Indications of a big
boom is the proposed erection soon
of a factory at Grand Island capable
of handling $50 tons of beets per day.
The farmers in the vicinity propose
to seed this year some 10, 1000 acres
of soil which tests show to be more
favorable for sugar beet culture than
even the best afforded by France or
Germany. A return of from $50 to
$40 an acre is confidently expected.
A great deal of interest naturally at

DEMAND AND SUPPLY PALACES.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY FALLACIES.
Supply and Demand own the largest
mill on earth, and all the rivers roll
over their wheel, and into their hopper
they put all the men, women, and chill
dren they can shovel out of the cen
turies and the blood and the bones
redden the valley while the mill
grinds. That diabolic law of supply
and demand will yet have to stand
aside, and instead thereof will come
the law of love, the law of co-opera-
ton, the law of kindness, the law Of
sympathy, the law of Christ.
Have YOU no idea of the coming of
such a time? Then you do not believe
the Bible. All the Bible is full of
promises on this subject, and as the
ages roll on the time will come when
men of fortune will be giving larger
sums to humanitarian and evangelistic
purposes, and there will be more James
IIenoxes and Peter Coopers and Will
lam E. Dodges and George Peabodys.
AS that time comes there will be more
parks, more picture galleries, more
gardens thrown open for the holiday
| people and the working classes.

and on the half day holidays four thou

walk through the paths, and sit under

THE PROSPERITY OF WICHITA.
A City With Denver's Push and Chicago's
Ambition.

From the Albuquerque Morning Democrat
On the 9Th of the present month the
Pullman car Streator left the depot in this
city for the cattle mems interstate conven-
ton at Fort Worth, Texas. The delegates
to that convention from New Mexico num-
bered twenty-eight, OF which Albuquerque.
the metropolis of New Mexico, sent twelve
representatives \ more jolly, congenial
and pleasant party never Travelled 1000
miles together. Each member of the dele
cation seemed to exercise the best qualities
of sociability to make Ii pleasant for their
travelling companions. We arrived at
Wichita, Kansas. on Monday about noon.
where the board of trade of that great city
of the plains took charge of the delegation
and entertained them in true royal style
Here the New MeXicans were given q
sumptuous dinner drive about the city
TO view the magnificent business struct-
ures, elegant residences, wide streets,
fringed with beautiful trees on either side
the great packing houses and many other
features stalwart and sublime. Wichita is
a city of 10000 souls, with the enterprise
and pushitiveness OF Denver and the pre-
tensions Of Chicago. although not in the
field as a candidate for the worlds fair.
The building of a large city on the plains
where the buffalo roamed only few years
ago, is easily accounted for, however 1t
is located in the banner wheat growing
county of the state, and the immense corn
fields for 200 miles around the city Weld
eighty 10 100 bushels per acre. The city is
governed honestly and with the capacity
of craftsmanship She has an able mayor
and council, with a board of trade that
would be a credit to a city of l00, 600 people.
In fact tho energy, which seems infectious
among the Wichita people, would make
anything move if they set their minds
on it.
The prosperity of Wichita is not TO be
wondered at with such workers as Marsh

who owns q plant as good as the best in

and the development Of the great agricul- /

tial manner.
After spending three hours in Wichita |
we were escorted to the depot where we |
found a special train from Kansas City, /
eastern and southern delega- /
tons, with an extra car occupied by the !
Oblging officials of the Santa Fe.

dence, until a point of agreement was
sent TO pay him the money. This being
accomplished the agent returned to the de
pot TO take the train back to St. Louis,
when he was surprised to see the supposed
sufferer stumping around on his clutches
on the depot platform, laughing and jest
ing over the ease with which he had beaten
the corporation.
He afterwards fell off Wabash train at
Edwardsville, and claimed TO have sus-
tanned serious injuries, but in this case the
company's attorneys beat him, and proved
him TO be an imposter. IN 1879 he stumped
into the telegraph office at the Union
depot here when Henry c. MahOney. the
superintendent, catching sight OF him, put
MN out, with the curt remark that he
'dIdn't want him TO stick that crutch into
cuspldOr and fall down. as it was too eX-
penslve performance for the company to
stand. He beat the Missouri Pacific and
several other railroads and municipalities
at different times. it is claimed and man
ages to get enough at each successful ven
ture to carry him along for year or eigh-
teen months, by which time the memory
OF his trick fades out OF the public mind,
when he again bobs up serenelY
The Kansas City Journal also knows
him according to the following:
Landers has the power of dislocating his
hip at viii, and makes a business Of falling
and breaking his leg and afterwards bring
ing SUIT for damages. He played that
trick IN this city, and he has also worked
1t successfully In other cities

that Wichita was the natural distributing
