L NEW VENTURE.

From tie Topeka Democrat.
The Farmers Alliance of Kansas has
gone into a new venture to take care OF
the corn of the Sunfiower state for the
purpose of getting it directly to the ex-
norter, 50 rs to save the profits OF the
middle man for the benefit of the pro-
Queer. The alliance will hold big meet
ing in Topeka next Tuesday for the pur-
pose OF extending the scheme so as to
include stock shipments.

The New York Sun reports Samuel
J. Tilden as saying that ''Grover Cleve-
land was the most selfish politician he
ever knew" Now. if Mr.. Tilden ever
formed such an opinion of the corpulent
Grover, it would be significant and val
liable, for the Greystone sage was Ger
tainly an expert in selfshness. But dur
ing his active political days, Mr.. Cleve-
land was hardly of sufficient importance
to be an object of study or to form an
opinion of. And, besides, it is remem-
bered that the Sun was never enamored
of the Sage of Grammarcy to any very
great extent, even when he was in life
and political ascendancy. Old Father
Dana never could bear the idea Of there
being any one more conspicuous in his
party than the editor Of the Sun.

President Elliot. Of Harvard college,

Of newspaper reporters. President Eli
OF is still enjoying excellent health and
equanimity. As much can not be said
of Mr.. Blair, who attacked the editorial
portion of the press recently. The diff
ference between President Elliot's and
Senator Blair's sallies lies in the different
advantages of defence on the side of the
attacked; but the reportorial staff of the
press is never slow to acknowledge an
insult, does not lack means of revenge
and may do a world of harm to the OBJ
ject of its wrath, as Professor Elliot may

The Rev. d. c. Miner has furnished
to an eastern paper the increase IN valu-
alton in the six principal cities Of the
state from 1884 to 1888: Atchison, from
50, 161 SO to $3,275,378: Fort Scott,
from 81, $40, $50 to S4,9 ,165; Kansas
City, Kansas, from So, 364, 773 to S., 023.-

IS, ?35.7 79: Wichita, from $1,759,053 to
SO, 694, $40. The Topeka Journal thinks
Wichita's figures are exaggerated, and
that kansas City, Kansas, ought
to surpass Wichita in valuation on ac-
count of her immense packing indus
tres Instead of being exaggerated
Wichita's figures as given are too small
by more than million. Our e. C. also
forgets that Wichita also has extensive
packing interests and manufacturing
interests, and that her commercial in
terests and transportation facilities are
largely in excess Of anything in the
state and the southwest, south Of the
Missouri and west of the Mississippi

With all enjoyment tina: mere childhood knovs
