SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS.

Prof. Horace Briggs of Mead Center,
one of the pioneers of Southwestern Kan
sas, and one of the best posted men in
| all this section, and withal, clear-head-
ed, well balanced man, in long COM
munication 10 the Commercial of Buff
! falO, y. Y, his former home, has this to
say, among other things, of the material
conditions and prospects of this country,
which statements may be relied upon as
accurate by any and all who may be in
| terested in knowing the exact status of
affairs, with view to making invest
ments or securing a home:
Those farmers who had the grit to
! stick by their lands and fight against dis
couragements-those who were willing
to work-have triumphed, and are doing
much to take away the bad name given
to this part of the state by adventures.
For years it was supposed that corn
was the natural crop, but four years of
/ experiments and failures have shown
/ that wheat, rye and barley and sorghum,
are much surer than corn; and these
/ trials have also proved that horses
and cattle can be raised with a
| trifie less expense than on the gov
/ eminent ranges further west. The buff
/ falo grass which covers these vast up
/ lands, is nutritious, and lasts through
/ the year, and animals can reach it more
than ten months of that period.
Wheat. even with slovenly culture.
averages ten bushels TO the acre, for it
natures before the drouths of June and
July strike it. The same may he said of
rye and barley. Cattle are in good con-
dition, even after three months lack Of
rain.
Creameries and cheese factories are
turning out a fine product, and at re-
numerative prices for the farmer who is
not ashamed To work. At small expense
the grower makes his molasses rom the
sorghum cane. Broom-corn gives fair
returns, and so does alfalfa. and pigs
flourish when fed on the latter.
The soil Is rich. almost without
a parallel, as is shown, when
water is brought 10 it. either
from rivers, or from artesian wells y:
but the crops above named, can be and
are raised in paying quantities with
proper culture. without irrigation.
Monied institutions that have a claim
upon this section Of the state, are hoping
to attract immigration By planting vast
areas TO wheat. thereby showing the cap
ability of the soil. Should they succeed
in h rvesting one or two fair crops, their
agents will have little difficulty in secur-
ing class Of settlers who are willing 20
work; and this class. after all, Is what Is
most needed. The air is exhil-
arating, the roads are excellent. hence a
drive from ten to forty miles with a team
of spirited ponies is highly enjoyable.
II the "horny-handed sons of the soil
should cultivate cereals as diligently as
they do politics, Kansas would be one Of
the wealthiest states in the Union.

PRINCE b ALI
From the Kinsley Mercury.

Prom the KinsIey Mercury.
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Col. Hallowell in this city last
Saturday. Despite the edict OF Polk,
Clover and Simpson that Alliance men
should not attend opposition meetings
large majority of all present were MEM
bers OF the Alliance; and some were
there who, under the teachings OF the
Advocate and other publications whose
bible is the Seven conspiracies and SINH
Lar Union labor tracts, had nearly been
deceived into voting for the wild eyed
advocates of impracticable and nonsense
dial theories. To these Col. Hallowell's
PLAIN, sensible and practi4 al talk was ali
that was necessary TO dispel the Illusion
under which they were laboring.
The coloneIs speech was mastery
effort, throughout, and showed him 10
be statesman of broad and compre-
hensiye views. He showed up the hol-
low sham and deceit of Jerry Simpson,
and other Union Laborite manipulators
of the so-called Peoples party in man.
ner to convince his audience that they
were absolutely unworthy OF confidence
and support.
His speech was such plain statement
of facts and bore upon its face such evil
dence OF truthfulness and candor COM
pared with the wild vagaries of Jerre
Simpson, who spoke here the previous
week, that no unprecedented person
could have listened to both men with
out realizing the utter impracticability
if not the absolutely ridiculous idea of
the tin horn Union Labor statesman.
AT the concluding of the coloners
speech three rousing cheers were given
for Hallowell and the entire Republican
ticket.

The twaddle of Ger ain Europeans
about boycotting American products
should receive no serious thought by this
country. Let the world learn that our
prosperity is not dependent upon the ca
price of any foreign power. Neither
have we to consult the influences that
connive at our decline as a nation. Our
institutions are built upon apolicy purely
our own, and when as a nation we find
it necessary to circumscribe our actions
to meet the whims of others, we had
better shut up shop. Americans will
assert their individuality and demon
strate to the world the fact that they are
not only the harbingers of their own hap
piness, but the guardians of their rights
from the polar sea to the equator.

The Tabor" politicians of Washington,
failing TO attract attention by any other
means fell upon the scheme Of petition
ing the president to appoint a woman to
the supreme bench vice Justice Miller
deceased. A little cheap notoriety 10 the
petitioners is all that will come Of il, but
that was all the movers expected or
really desired. Nobody questions Eliza
beth Cady Stantons intellectual attain
ments and her fine sense of justice, but
these, while they are essentials, are not
all Of the qualifications necessary to the
proper discharge of the high and respon-
sible position of member Of the court
of last resort in this great nation. But
it is waste of time TO seriously discuss
the proposition: it VIII not be done, OF
course.

Eugene Ware in University Review.
He was hero fighting all alone,
A lonesome warrior, never one more
brave,
Discreet. considerable and grave
He fought some noble battles; but he
gave
No voice to fame, and passed away I'M
known.
So grandIy to occasions did he rise,
SO splendid were the victories he
planned,
Not all the world had asked him to COM
mand
Could il be his native valor understood
He fought himself, and, winning, gained
the prize.

In advocating an extra session of the
legislature to re-enact the states pro-
hibitory laws rendered necessary by the
recent decision of the federal court, the
Lawrence Journal argues that 1.-The
regular session of the legislature can last
but ninety days, and in that time the
members would not have time to attend
to this matter unless to the exclusion of
other and important business" That is
a specious plea. The old law that has
been in force until declared null by the
court was regarded sufficient to suppress
the traffic, and it will not require an
hours time for the legislature in regular
session to re-enact it, And if it should
require half the allotted fifty days the
state would probably be better off for it.
As far as the public are aware or con-
cerned there is precious little legislation
necessary lust now.

A Lesson Tor Boys.

From the Binghampton Herald
1t is a trite saying, but one of the old
truths which must be impressed upon
each new generation, that time wasting
in youth is one of the mistakes which are
beyond correction.-New York World.
That reminds us of something Two
years ago gentleman in this city bought
a building lot for 500. He made pay
ment of 800, then told his two boys,
aged respectively - and Is years, that if
they would meet the payments as they
fell due until the lot was paid for they
might have it. The boys have sold daily
and Sunday papers, attending school
meantime, and the last payment of $50
has Just been made. They now intend
to keep their eyes open and see what can
be done In the way of real estate specu-
ton. Whether they lose their little prop
erty or make it nucleus of a fortune
remains to be seen, but the money has
certainly been more profitably spent than
if it had gone TO the pool room. The
business instinct has been sharpened, a
habit of industry formed, and it is safe to
say that both viii one day be heavy tax
PAYERS.

The dispatches this morning announce
that Governor Humphrey yesterday re-
moved the newly appointed board of po-
lice commissioners for Leavenworth, and
appointed a new board in its stead. The
monkey business exhibited in this Ieav-
enworth imbrogho is anything hut cred
liable, to say the least, to all connected
with it. 1t is calculated 10 give every
body a great big disgust with the whole
matter

The Climax OF Civilization

Either the United States senate is
more highly civilized than the Dakota
legislature or it is naturally less truth
full. Now, the basis and the measure of
manhood among the savage tribes is
truthfulneSs. An Indian never lies, but
as civilization steals over a people they
invent various methods of deceit and at
tain high degree of refinement in lying.
1t has pretty nearly become an exact
science among us now, and so civiliza-
ton, it would seem, has about reached
its climax.

The postal facilities of the country
have in a measure kept pace with its
growth and development in other re-

postoffices have been established and the
free delivery system extended to a num-

is nearer self sustaining now than it has
been in several years.

That's Politics.

Prom the Atchis on Globe.
The average man votes against the can
didate who thinks he can win his vote by
smiling at him, and saying few compli-
mentary words. The average man votes
against the candidate who has the most
"Schemers" at work for him, and against
the candidate who tells the most I'M
reasonable lies concerning his opponent.
The worst feature in politics is the
"schemer," who thinks he can fix an en-
tire precinct by telling the right kind of
a lie

our mind a certain common word of five
syllableS; not that the meaning of the
word has anything in common with
jerry Simpson or Nanny Lease. but the
first six letters of the word when divided
into two syllables of three letters, spells
the name of a beast commonly called
donkey. The word is assassination.
