Enlnn of States.

Union of States.
Tuesday, July |, 1890, the glad
tidings reached us by wire that
Idaho had been on that day adj
mitted as a State Of the American
Union. Everybody was made
happy, flags were run up immedi-
ately and in the evening cannons
doomed from the mountain sides
above us, and the small boy joined
in the general jubilee by shooting
his fire-crackers and beating tin
pans.
Idaho now starts upon new era
of prosperity. The agricultural
districts will be able to get what
the people ask for in the matter OF
irrigation and the mining sections
will soon zee the beneficial effects Of
Statehood from the fact that the
alien land law will no longer bar
out foreign capital. Furthermore
thousands Of men who have grown
gray upon Idaho soil will soon have
an opportunity to cast their first
vote for President of the United
States.

According toa correspondent OF the
Topeka Capital, stock raisers have no
ticed in the last three years an appa-
rent increasing sterility in their heif-
ers; and soserious has this become
that this year many farmers in his
eighborhood did not succeed in get
ting more than one half where doz-
Ell or more calves were expected.
The practice OF dehorning, in that
particular locality, is contemporaneous
with this falling off in tecundity, or
in virility, and a reputable veterinari-
an is quoted as authority for the
hypothesis, that the sudden and severe
shock of the dehorning operation may
be sufficient to cause paralysis of the
nerves. Dehorning should be coniin'
ed TO steers and cows being fattened
for the market.

keep fully posted during every hour OF
the day, and this is how the matter
stands.
The Monitor is an eight-page daily
and has been divided between the two
each taking four pages, and neither
has control over the others half. On
the young mans editorial page is this
article:
"The old skeesicks who Ia running
on the mongrel ticket for representa-
tive Is perhaps not aware that the 10y
al people of this country know him TO
be an old rebel. We know him 10 DC
so. We know that he compiled mat
rebel geography during the war; we
know that he did it voluntarily, and
that his heart was In the work. lie
cannot deny 1t for we had 1t from his
own wife,"
Then turn to the old mans page and
read:
"The young squirt that heads the
Ingalls, ticket is a nice specimen to
ask the people of Kansas Tor 'helr
votes. His father was an old rebel -
his own mother told us so-and If he
had been old enough, either his bones
would be bleaching in some swamp
from union bullets, or he would be
iimping around on one leg driving u
colored man away from the polls with
a shotgun"
Next day on the sons page:
"The old gcographer who is asking
the people to aid him in spite against
Ingalls, says we would have been in
the rebel army if we had been old
enough. He was old enough; why
was not he there? Because it was
safer to compile biographies than 10
face bullets. When times became 80
critical that even the old seeds were
drafted into the service, he pretended
to have been sunstruck, and removed
down into the pine woods OF Georgia
near Andersonville, and we have the
best reasons for believing that he was
guard at the starvation pen"
On the old mans page:
"The long, black thing that heads
the republican ticket has something 10
say about sunstroke. The worst sun
stroke that could happen man would
be TO be stricken with such a son as
he. The only thing he inherited from
his father was brains, and he has none
of them"
From the young mans page next
day:
"The old coon with specks on, who
is the candidate for everybody except
respectable men, has the cheek to ask
TO be elected to make laws to govern
the people of Kansas. A man VINO
does not know how to raise his own
children is not fit for anything. we
assert land we hold Ourself personally
responsible for the statement) that his
sons had such poor raising that they
have not got common respect for the
old clothespin.y However, we cannot
blame them much for that. Hah"
From the old mans page:
"Thc young ingalls, straddlebug
talks about raising children. lie
knows all about it. He had good
preceptor. We say it more in sorrow
than in anger. (but we know whereof
we speak, and we dare him to sue us
for libel il it is not true), that his old
tobacco squirting father hadn't sense
enough to raise anything-except
bottle of whiskey 10 his mouth.
Whaghw -.
We await the further progress OF
this quarrel in brcathless suspense.
The old man has recently sold his
interests in the Monitor to his son, and
the people of Fort Scott will get no
more such literary treats as the above.
