Alley Paving.

Alley paving is agtating the Daven>
port improvement fiends just now. The
Democrat says: "All private alleys
should be ordered paved at the expense
of abutting property; so, too, all other
private alleys in city blocks. The reason
is apparent. An alley is thoroughfare
as much as street. 1t is usually place
for dirt and nastiness. They are muddy
places in time of rain. and the wheels
take up the mud and filth and bring il
out upon the paved street. The only way
to prevent il is to pave them and have
them kept at all times of the year as
clean and respectable as paved streets
are

WHAT RAISES PRICES.

In the subjoined excerpt from the Sa-
lima Republican is found more of fact
and substantial encouragement to farm
ers and stock men than is contained in
many Iabored dissertations a column
long on that subject 1t beats all the
emergency rates that could be devised
and knocks the theory of over production
as a real cause Of depression into smith
Greens. Says the Republican:
1T is a noticeable and agratifying fact
that cattle, indeed, horses and all kinds
of stock, have risen in value from thirty
to fifty per cent during the past three
months and are still going up. Why?
The cause is not hard to find. The
farmers are no longer selling them for a
song because they have noticed for them,
and are thus no longer at the mercy Of
buyers who would force them down to
the lowest price. Asthousands of bushels
of grain find a market the farmers be-
come buyers of stock, and stock are
steadily going up. Just in this way they
have the power to maintain prices. Let
the corn crop be carefully preserved as
food for horses, mules, cattle, sheep and
hogs: it is worth at least thirty cents a
bushel and viii be needed in due time.
Let none of it be wasted"

SENATOR PLUMB'S POSITION.

Senator Plumb has lately written a
lengthy letter to the editor Of the Marion
Record on the repression of agriculture
and the cattle interests, from which we
extract:
I have been seeking for the last three
or four years to arouse our people to an
appreciation of what l thought was in
evitably coming, and which has now
come. Two years age / made a speech
in the senate in which ! said lower prices
for agricultural products were certain in
the near future. At about the same
time [ made a speech on the financial
question in which | portrayed the evil
effect to result from contraction Of the
currency then going on. There was no
response from Kansas upon either Of
these propositions except that | got my
knuclles raped in the newspapers and
in private letters upon the theory that
my financial ideas were rejecting
upon preceding Republican administra-
tons. The Cleveland administration
wickedly and illegally
contracted the currency You viii

est price known for many years, and our
people want a remedy applied imme
diately, and somewhat naturally they
look to congress, and exclusively, for
that remedy. No matter how much
trouble may grow out OF the conditions
which are entirely beyond the control of
legislation. and some of which have been
wholly within the control Of people who
complain, congress is to apply the entire
remedy. l have no donbt congress will
apply a remedy in the shape of an in
crease in the volume of the currency
and in a revision of the tariff, but these
things cannot be done at once. | feel

in the end have occasion to complain of
the Kansas delegation, nor to regret that
they contributed to bring about politi-

RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES.

In commenting upon an editorial that
appeared in the EAGLE a day or two ago
in reference 10 the effect Russia's exile
policy has had upon popular sentiment
in this country towards that govern
ment, anent the recent scandalous. dis
closures in condection with that policy.
the Fort Scott News revives and quotes
some historical data which, in part, is as
follows:
1.-The EAGLE may be right in its esti-
mates of the feeling in this country
towards Russia, but if it is true it exhib-
Its a lack Of appreciation and a general
ingraUitude upon the part of Americans
which is undeserved. No nation upon
earth is more entitled to the respect and
affections Of Americans than Russia. and
we believe every old soldier who re-
members the thrilling incidents Of 1862
and 1868 has this feeling towards that
country.
At the time the Mason and Slidell in
cident threatened to rupture our peace
full relations with Great Britain. and
France had about decided to recognize
the Confederacy as precedent 10 its

ing. things looked pretty blue for the
north. The tide of battle even. seemed
turned against Us all along the line. and
1t seemed impossible to prevent the Tecog-
milton of the C0ntederacy by these pow
ers. Then 1t was. that an immense
Russian fleet commanded by q son Of the
emperor himself. came to our shores and
plainly manifest its intention TO stand
by the northern United States. and if
necessary take a hand in the fight with
any power that interferTed. This act
settled the recognition sentiment of Fu-
rope, IN favor of our federal govern
ment. and was the turning point in the
contest, and for this all Americans should
bear a grateful feeling towards the Rus
