A Farmers Views.
Editors western Kansas World:

Editors Western Kansas World:
l have been well pleased with the
editorials which have appeared from
time to time in the WORLD COM
mandatory of the movement known
as the Farmers Alliance and | wish
to say that l heartily endorse
everything that has been said.
There can be no reasonable antag-
onism between the farmer and
other members of the community in
Trego county.
am farmer but have not yet be-
come member Of the Farmers AL
lance. At the same time my inter-
ests and sympathy are wholly with
them in their efforts to put stop
to class legislation.
| am afraid the Farmers Alliance,
at least in some localities are going
little too far in the way of passing
resolutions and particularly those
of political character. l say this
because the community generally
seem to have kindly feeling for
the Farmers Alliance and will con-
tinue to have so long as they do
not get the impression that it is in
tended to antagonize all other int
erests and at the same time antago-
nize all other political parties.
When that idea becomes prevalent
the usefulness of the organization
not only becomes impaired but the
organization itself will shortly cease
to exist and it will be very difficult
to organize another within the
next decade. The members of the
A lliance will not themselves unite
upon such a platform. Even now
so me of the best members are con-
demning certain resolutions that
have recently been passed. Stick to
the text, as l believe you will, and
you will become a. power for good
and your organization will exist so
l ong as legislation is needed to pro-
tect your interests.
Class legislation entirely for
farmers. is no more to be commend
ed than any other kind of class leg
islation. All we want is fairness
and justice in all things. That we
must have because it is right, but
we have no right, simply because
we think we have the present pow
err, to treat other classes unfairly.
This is written in a spirit Of the ut
most kindness toward the Alliance
and I hope that conservatism in the
Alliance will assert ITSELF to the
end that it will endure for all time
to come in the interests of the farm
ing community. FARMER.

for their beauty. On the farm ornament
al trees are found shading the ground
and buildings, and fine orchards visible
miles away, beautify and add to the val
ne of the home.
Trees are the mark of prosperous and
comfortable homes. Kansas loves trees.
On the return of the glad springtime, she
says with Bryant, Come, plant an apple
tree" She planted the tree of liberty,
the tree Of temperance, and the tree OF
progress, and here they grow with the
greatest vigor, symbols of health, purity
and advancement.
In obedience to a custom now nearly
twenty years old, and obeyed without Of
fetal order, hereby recommend the OBJ
servsnce of Thursday, the tenth day OF
April, as Arbor day for the year 1890.
In testimony hereof, 1 have hereunto
subscribed my name, and caused to be af-
fixed the great seal of the state.

teenth day of March, in the year of our

formation, hoping some of our prac-
teal farmers will respond.
The general idea seems to be that
we cannot depend upon the raising
of corn at this time with certainty.
Now what | want to know is wheth-
er tn ere are any other crops that
can be raised that will fatten
hogs and take the place of corn?
/ am convinced that there would
be no trou bic in making money in
western Kansas if we could raise
and fatten hogs successfully. Have
any of you tried sorghum seed, or
sorghum seed mixed with other
grain?
Ibelieve this subject is well worth
considering and purpose experiment.

DID it ever occur to you, gentle
reader, Jour remarks are addressed
particularly to the ladies' that you
are not tEeating our home mer-
chants exactly right, and at the
same time doing yourselves an in
jury, in sending away for so many
of your goods instead of purchasing
them at home? You will, perhaps,
justify by saying, ''Our merchants
do not always keep in stock the
class of goods we want" In some
instances this is probably true but
the reason for it is that their terri
tory is limited and if many buy
elsewhere they cannot afford to
keep many articles that they would
otherwise be glad to keep. Ii all
would do their trading at home, we
feel sure that our merchants would
make an extra effort to supply your
wants at all times. Our merchants
have adopted the cash system and
can, and we believe will, sell as
cheap for cash as you can buy else
where. At least give them a
chance. Money is scarce in our
community and let us keep as much
of it at home as possible. Those
who advertise in our county by
sending out catalogues and price
lists do not pay a cent of tax into
our treasury and care nothing for
people only as they may succeed in
getting their ready cash and are
therefore entitled to no considera-
ton at your hands. On the other
hand, our merchants, and we mean
this to apply to all branches of
business, live here with their fami-
lies, pay city and county taxes,
help build churches and school
houses and always contribute of
their means for the benefit and ad-
vancement of our community.
This is the class of citizens that
should be encouraged. Let us all
work together for our common, as
well as individual interests. Before
sending any more money out of
the county give the home dealer
chance. The more trade our mer-
chants can get the better will they
be enabled to keep a good variety
and at reasonable prices.

THE committee on appropriations
has taken a very decided stand in
regard to bills for public buildings.
As we have remarked before, this
class of legislation has degenerated
until it is generally known, and
well understood, that the majority of
the appropriations are only made
for the purpose Of enabling certain
congressman to obtain popularity
with their constituents. This is a
very poor way to reduce the surplus.

IT is now understood that Prof.
Garfield will not be elected chancel-
Ior of the state university. This
matter has been under consideration
for year or more and the only OBJ
lection we have heard urged against
Prof. Garfield was his free trade
tendencies, and it was admitted that
he never attempted to promulgate
his theories in public, certainly not
in the university. Take it all in all,
We think the regents have made
themselves ridiculous. We are not
prepared to say that, even in Kansas,
protection theories are essential quail
ifeations to be demanded Of a
school master. Politics can be car
RED too far and we fear this is an

Kansas Arbor Day.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

AOFEAAJ AdTCH Ii, 1851
Arbor day and Kansas day are festal
days in our schools; one is devoted to the
improvement Of school house grounds,
and the other to rehearsing Kansas his
tory. The custom has grown up natur-
ally all over the state, and the festivals
are days of enjoyment for many thous-
ands of happy children.
In our towns, Arbor day Is fixed upon
by usage and common consent as the oc-
casion when the streets, the parks, the
grounds of public buildings and church
IS, and the lawn around the home shall
be adorned with trees. The larger cities
neglect the custom; the smaller obey it
with one voice, and are already lannon's

ever Will come when the people will

similar to the above have been used
so often that they have received the
sanction of custom. 1t is considered
the proper thing to do whether
there is any foundation for the
charges or not, hoping thereby to
influence and prejudice the unso-

The Popular Line

To the east is the Burlington Route
CHannibal & st. Joseph r. RI. The SER
vice by this line has been constantly i'm
proved until it has reached a degree of
excellence surpassed by none; and equal
ed by few. The Burlington's eli" is
probably the most popular train running
between the Missouri river and Chicago
being solid through vestibule train of
Pullman sleepers and free chair cars.
Leaving Kansas City, Atchison and st.
Joseph after supper, the passenger ar
rives in Chicago at 9:15 in the morning.
Having taken breakfast on one of the
Burlington's world renowned dining cars
he is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tons.
For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the eli" takes dining car
out of Kansas City on which east-bound
passengers are served with a supper
which is equaled by few hotels.
The Burlington's st. Louis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
future to be the favorite line between the
Missouri river and st. Louis This train
consisting of through sleepers, chair cars
and coaches leaves Kansas City, Atchison
and st. Joseph after supper and puts the
passenger in st. Louis for breakfast, and
ample time to make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in mind
that the Burlington (Kansas City st. Jo-
seph & Council Bluffs r. r. is the only
line running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas City and st Jo-
seph and st. Paul and Minneapolis. This
is the short line between Kansas City,
st. Joseph and Omaha. Through daily
trains with sleepers and chair cars.
In whatever direction you travel be
sure your tickets read over the Burling-
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the
greatest amount of comfort, with the
least expense of money or time.

A big find has just been unearthed In
the Alabama mine, three miles southeast
of White Sulphur Springs. The whole

vein is not definitely known, but il is be.
lieyed to be large and may prove very
valuable.

the famous Hiawatha, is being opened out
by its wner Mike O'Donnel and
Thomas Mcdonald, and is proving a val

lead, several tons of 200 ore are already
on the dump. The mine will be more
than self-sustaining from the very out

The McDermott company is sacking ore

will be made shortly. The stockholders,
principally Deer Lodge people, are very
sanguine of the result as the ore, though
