Magazine, started west from there, with
the intention of going around the world
in the shortest possible time, and hop
ing to beat Nellie's record. She would
have done it, too, but for bad break
she made IN Europe. She had gotten
back safely to Brindisi ON the 18th; she
took train that should have landed
her at Havre, France, in time to have
taken steamer Saturday morning, the
18th inst; but she got switched on the
wrong road, In some manner, and miss
ed the steamer, which waited several
hours for her. She then went to Calais
and Dover and London, crossed England
to HOllyhead, crossed to Dublin, thence
to Queenstown, and sailed on Sunday
night, the 10Th, on slow steamer, the
Bothnia. for New York. Had she
boarded steamer. at Havre, as it was
intended that she should, she would
probably have arrived in New York the
day before Miss Bly, did. Miss Bisland
started west from New York about 8
hours after Miss Bly's departure, and
from Chicago she took the northern
route to the Pacific. From San Fran
cisco she simply reversed Miss Bly's
trip, going to Yokohama, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Colombo, Alden and Brin-
dist, and then by rail to Calais
For the past ten days the papers have
been full of accounts of the movements
OF these two young ladies, and the
whole world will be talking about them
for quite a while yet.

LYING TOO HIGH.

People who supposed that Congress
man Peters was very plain liver, will
learn their error when they read that
his expenses in Washington are about
$50 per month more than his congress
slonal salary. He says he pays $50 for
board and lodging 500 for stenog-
rapher, or private secretary; postage.
$50 cab hire, $50 to $40 $50 for news
papers; $40 to $50 to man who looks
after the interests of his constituents
in the land Office; incidental expenses,
$50 month or total of say S., $50 a
year.
Now, we are not economists; we have
never lived in Washington, and we do
not know how much style a congress-
man has to swing; but we figure it that
Judge Peters could get good board, bet
ter than any of his constituents enjoy.
for $50 PER month, and thus save 800
per month on that point. He could
write his own letters and send ont his
own seeds, and save 500 paid secre-
tary or he might get cheaper stenog-
rapher, at $50; she might not be so pref
ty, but would do her work just as well.
He could ride on the street cars, and
save at least $25 per month on that
item, and his constituents would not
kick, for there is not one in hundred
in the whole lot who knows what cab
looks like. Then, there is no sense IN
a congressman paying newspaper sub
scriptions, for if ne is right smart he
will keep the papers paid up with pub.
docs.,' postofices, and other favors SO
here he would save $50 more per month
Then, that man who works the land
office is luxury, not necessity. If a
constituent writes about his land, the
congressman has but to refer the letter
to the proper department, and request
an answer, and he will get it; and on
this item he will save say $50 month
The item of 'incidentals" is all right
especially if the judge drinks good ar
ticle; but outside of this we have shown
how the judge can save 1926 per month
or So $40 per year. That, deducted from
the So, 2SO now expended by the judge
would leave him margin of 81, 74O, Ito
say nothing of postage, which he could
cut down materially which he could
put where it would do the most good
toward securing denomination and a
reelection. He should have figured
this matter closer before he declined to
be candidate for denomination.

Senator ingalls, delivered his adver.

Senator ingalls, delivered his adver-
tised speech on the race question, last
week, in the senate, and he is now solid
with his constituents, and will be re-
elected. The speech purported to be
in opposition to Senator Buffers bill,
appropriating five millions of dollars to
aid the negroes in emigrating to Africa.
Senator Ingalls, slobbered all over the
poor, patient and much-abused colored
man and brother; he showed the heart
lessness of this great government in
not protecting the colored American
citizens from the outrages of the white
people of the south; he predicted that
the negro would, in time, become tired
of the oppression to which he now SUBJ
mits, and then there would be race
war. The only remedy the senator
could offer was advice to the south to
register and count tho votes of the ne
grOes. That would make them salts
fed. The speech was violently partisan;
IC was not an argument, but simply a
repetition of the charges that have been
made every year since Hayes stole the
presidency, by every radical speaker,
who. like ingalls,, talks purely to make
himself solid with his constituents. Mr..
Ingalls, did not say one word about the
wonderful strides toward progress that
the south is makingy he did not pre-
tend to say that the negro was capable
of conducting the business of the south
rs successfully as the whites but he
did say, II uUSS directly, by inference,
that all the republican party asssed was
that the negroes might be allowed to
control elections, and elect carpet bag
republicans to Office, and vote for the
republican electoral tickets. The SEN
atOr forgot to mention that the 6. AR.
OF the south would have nothing to do
with the colored man and brother. and
even dismissed from their order men
who dared muster in posts of coIored
men,

The reports that Register Ollie and
Receiver Barnes, of the Guthrie land
office, conuived with ''sooners'' in per-
petrating frauds in connection with the
settlement of Oklahoma, have been
confirmed by statements made by Spe-
cial Agent Mcbride, of Kansas City.
He was sent down there to watch the
opening, and report frauds. He saw
and reported more than he was paid to
see, and when he made his report, rec
ommending the immediate removal of
Ollie and Barnes from Office, and i'm
plicated brother of Powell Clayton in
gross frauds, Mr.. Mcbride was at once
removed from his position. In so many
words, he was told that he must not see
rascality when it occurred in the repub-
lican ranks. Mr.. Harrison promptly
removed Democrat Jones, U. s. mar
shall, for his completely in Oklahoma
frauds; but Ollie and Barnes are yet
in office. Ollie, who is an ex-chalrman
of the Indiana republican machine,
wants more, for he is the leading can
didate for governor of Oklahoma, and
Mr.. Harrison will probably appoint him.
Ollie evidently knew how to hold his
job, qualify himself for a new place,
and keep solid with this model admin
istratiOn {: he got down in the dirt.

BEATING JULES VERNE.

1 hours and 19l minutes. November
l4th, 1889, she left New York on a
steamer bound east; sailed to Liver

Dover; a boat to Calais, France then
by train. to Brindisi; through the Suez
Canal and Red Sea to Alden through
the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean to

tug to Oakland, aud over the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe to Kansas CITY

The young lady left New York equip

gage but hand valise and one gown.
She carried tickets for the round trip
and letter of credit to the amount of
1880. She did not once miss connec-
tons, and met with no delay or acct

1t has been discovered that there is
no law in this state furnishing persons
guilty of Offering or accepting brides.
A petition was circulated at Topeka,
last week, asking for special grand
jury to investigate alleged bribery of
members of the legislature, but the dis
covery being made that the statutes
provide no adequate measures for the
prosecution, the grand jury will not be
assembled. 1t has been a matter of
general rumor for years that money was
used at Topeka every winter to encour-
age or retard legislation; but the bri-
bers and bribe-takers have never been
punished. The "John Baltimore" case
is one with which the public is famil-
lar w. 7. Cavanaugh, under the alias
of John Baltimore, demanded $500 of
State Printer Baker to suppress legisla-
ton affecting Bakers contract. Cava-
naugh was dismissed from the clerk
ship, and that ended it. The state in
surance superintendent says twenty
members of the last legislature accepted
brides, and yet he dare not give their
names. 1t would implicate too many
good republicans, and endanger the
$1,000 republican majority, and that
would never do.

A writer in the Kansas Farmer urges
on farmers the advantage of planting
black walnut trees. Selecting an acre
ofrich, bottom land, near small stream
and by planting rows 81 feet apart one
way by 81 feet the other way he would
have 800 trees on the acre. While cuI-
tivating the trees for the first three or
four years he could raise a little corn
planted between the rows of trees. At
ter three or four years the grove would
require no attention, but would be orna-
mental and useful in several ways. In
forty years each tree would be worth
$40, which would make $1,000 for the
one acre or $500 per year. 1t would not
be great task for young man of %
years to start grove of acres, and at
sixty years of age he would have for
tune of $4,000.

FARMERS AND PROTECTION

Western republicans who imagine
that the products of their farms are
protected as well as the products of cas-
tern factories have but to study the
facts to learn that they are mistaken.
The average duty or tax on all articles
protected is little more than AZ per
cent. There Is nothing that the farmer
raises that is protected to that extent,
wool being the highest and the duty on
imported wool being but AZ per cent.
And then, the articles that are protect
ed for the benefit of the farmer are
brought to this country to compete with
home grown articles in such small
amounts that the western farmer would
not know of their sale, if he were not
told of 1t.
Below we publish table of protected
articles, showing the value of all impor-
ted IN 1888, prepared by T. E. Wilson,
the New York tariff statistician. ONLY
articles generally produced and sold by
the western farmer are given:
