fetal, breaking the devastating force Of
the hot winds whose havoc can be pre-
vented in no other way than by breaking
the grounds and by system of ponds,
such as the CAPITAL has frequently urged.
Farmers Deed not be told of the effect of
broken land Gu the hot winds. The CAP
ffal knows of an energetic farmer in Stew
ems county who at great expense and
much labor and perseverance against a
combination of unfavorable circumstances
has several hundred acres in subsection,
the most of it being put in wheat last
year and yielding fair crop. To step
from the unbroken sod to the cultivated
soil on this land is like being transported
from one climate to another.
Wheat is destined to be the staple of a
large area OF western land now unproft-
ably farmed or not farmed at ALL We
look upon the effort OF the consolidated
loan companies as marking an epoch in
the history of western Kansas, move
ment in accordance with the conditions
OF that section as well as stroke of wise
business polIcy.-7ofeka CAPITAL.
While we thoroughly agree with
the Capital in this matter and can
foresee in this scheme, if put into
speedy execution, great benefits to
be derived from such a plan, partic-
ularly in this extreme western part
of the state, still, this alone will not
reclaim our country. What is.both-
ering our people more than all this
is the question of how to procure
seed wheat for themselves. The
mortgage companies may formulate
plan whereby thousands Of acres
of lands which are now living idle
may be converted into fields of
wealth, yet this will not inure
directly to the benefit of our patient,
toiling homesteaders who have no
seed with which to plant their lands.
We are not of the number who see
redemption for our beloved but
plague-cursed country in every new
wildcat boom scheme that origi-
mates in the brain of some sidewalk
farmer, and who are just as ready to
throw up their hands and loudly
proclaim that the country has gone
to the demnition bow-wows when
they discover that this new plan of
redemption failed TO redeem. What
our people want is something practi-
cable-something that they can lay
their hands on. That something is
seed and particularly seed wheat.
With this within their grasp they
can realize and know that their ag-
ricultural redeemer liveth. This
subject has been aired in the WORLD
before and has had the effect of
causing the question of how to OBJ
tain it to be talked of by many but
no concerted action has been taken.
Probably if a general meeting of
those interested could be had and an
exchange of ideas and plans made,
out of it all might be shaped prac-
ticable, feasible way out of the diff
ficulty. Let's try it, anyway. 1t
will cost nothing but our time and
most of us have unlimited quantities
of that commodity at our disposal.

THE provisions of the anti-lottery
bill, which the President has just
signed, are much further reaching
than is generally supposed. Under
its provisions if the lottery company
turns from the postoffice to the ex-
press companies for the transmission
of its tickets and its receipts, con-
gress has full constitutional power
to follow the lottery company there.
1t can prohibit all express compa-
MES from carrying ticket or money
package for any lottery company
across state line. Congress can
prohibit any bank from cashing a
draft from another state for lottery
company, for draft is an instru-
ment of interstate commerce and is
absolutely under the control of con-
gress when it chooses to exercise its
power. Now let congress pass a
bill declaring all lotteries common
nuisances and weed them out alto
gether.

DECLARED ALPHABETICALLY A PROHIBITION

DECLARED ALPHABETICALLY A PROHIBITION
CHURCH-wORLDLINEs DENOUNCED.
ST. LOUIS, May 20.-The General Con.
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South to-day unanimously adopted the re.
port of the committee on temperance, max
ing the following distinct declarations:-
First. We are convinced that if any
more advanced position is possible to take
than the one which the Methodist Episco
pal Church South occupies to-day upon the
question of temperance, our membership
ought to get ready at once to take it. We
are emphatically prohibition church. We
preston of the liquor traffic. We offer no
compromise to and seek no terms from a
sin of this heinous quality.
Second. Our inquiries developed the
gratifying fact that in most sections there
is very little drinking among our member
ship.
Third. We are able to state that for the
most part our church members throw the
full weight of their influence and authority
as voters against licensing the liquor
traffic.
Fourth. The testimony was uniform and
unvarying as to the fidelity of our preach
ers in the cause OF temperance.
Fifth. The evidence was practically uni
versal as to the valuable work of the Ma
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
Onion IN the cause of temperance.
The committee on the spiritual state Of
the church, which was instructed to pre-
pare condemnation Of worldliness for in
sertion in the Book of Discipline, made
long report condemning dancing, card-play-
ing, theatregoing. attendance at race
courses, circuses, &c.
DIR. Phipot, of Texas, moved an amend
ment to cover the use of tobacco and opium,
but it was ruled out of order as being of the
same nature as resolution offered by the
Doctor last week, and which was indef-
nitely postponed. The Doctor yielded with
poor grace, and said, as he sat down, 81
want it to go forth to the world that this
General Conference refuses to consider the
subject"
DR.. Duncan, of Tennessee, the author of
the original resolution on wOrldliness,
which caused all the discussion and wran-
gle over the question, moved an amend-
ment providing for change in the dis
cipline, but it was ruled out of order. He
condemned the report as having CLOSED
over the evils it was intended to condemn.
There was evidently disposition growing
in the church to cover up concessions to
worldliness. 'If there is pill in that re-
port" the doctor shouted, sit has been so
sugar-coated that you will never taste it."
Rev. Mr.. Hess wanted the utterance to
include racing, owning, raising and selling
race-horses, manipulating land booms, buy
ing and selling lottery tickets, renting
buildings in which liquor traffic is carried
on and owning or editing Sunday papers,
but his motion was voted down and the
report of the committee was adopted by a
large majority.

The Two Secessf0ns.
sEFFERsoN DAvIs's LAST DEFENCE OF THE
REVOLUTION OF 1861.

sEFFERsoN DAvIss LAST DEFENCE OF THB
REVOLUTION OF 1861.
In comparing "the causes which led to
secession in 1857 and 1861" MIR. Davis
says, in BeJord's Magazine for May
ssIn the former case the inefficienoies of
the Articles of Confederation for some OF
the purposes of the General Government
was presented as the reason for requiring
its amendment; and the convention, when
it assembled, proceeded to draft new form
of government, which being submitted and
adopted, became the Constitution for
mere perfect union. In the latter case the
destruction of the balance of power which
existed when the Constitution was adopted,
and subsequent legislation for sectional ad-
vantages rather than the general welfare,
together with gross and persistent viola
tions of obligations which the States had
assumed in the formation of the compact
of union, added to increasing hostility,
shamefully displayed, and eliminating in
invasion, had at length created a feeling
that the fraternity in which the Union was
founded had ceased to exist; that the
Union was no longer one of the heart. In
these circumstances President was elected
by strictly sectional vote-a man who had
declared that the Union could not continue
to exist half slave, half free,' whose party
dogma was the exclusion of shareholders
from the territory belonging in common to
the States, and whose partisans hurled Bit
terest denunciations and derisive anathemas
on the flag of the Union.
s"The South, as minority, was naturally
attached to the Constitution, as a guaran-
tee of equal rights and protection to public
and private interests. Her SONS had gath
cred much glory under the flag of the
Union; it was an emblem of free and indie
pendent States and was the object of pride
and affection to her people. A very large
majority of her people believed secession to
be remedy that could be peacefully exer.
cised. The Southern States one after
another passed ordinances of secession, but
they made no adequate preparations fol
war, because it was generally believed
that none we're necessary. At the instance
of Virginia, leading now for peace as she
had for war in the revolutionary era, Call
was issued inviting the States to conven'
tion for the purpose of securing peace to
the Union. The convention met at Wash
ington, D. g., on February 4, 1860, a ma
jority of northern and northwestern States
and eight of the southern States being
represented. The effort of the wise and
patriotic members to secure some proper
adjustment of existing issues proved unsuc.
cessful.
"What resources for justice-what as
surance Of tranquility-what guarantee Of
safety-now remained for the South? Nc
alternative remained but to seek the secu
rity out of the Union which they had vain
ly tried to obtain within it. The hope o.
our people may be stated in SENTENCE
1t was to escape from injury and strife il
the Union to find prosperity and peace ou
of it."

And told my heart twas fieeting dream.
But my heart was bold and had no fears:
For 1 felt her breath as it touched my hair,
And her great brown eyes with their pierre

Cleaned out from her mask, while her lip so

Lay close to mine in the whirling maze.
I led her away as the music died
In plaintive strain on the midnight air,
To a cosy nook in the hallway wide.
Where the light shone dim on the oaken
stair.
And held her hand as my heart beat time
To the rhythmic tones of the ancient clock.
And the words whispered were set in rhyme
While the clock Kept time with dull stick.
