..pooa1. KANSAS. BooM."

There has never been a time in the
history of our state when an organic
ed effort to induce immigration had a
brighter prospect of success than this
year.
The National Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic always
attracts thousands of visitors, and the
one to be held at Boston, Mass, August
18th to 18th, next, will be no excep-
tion, unless it be that it will be more
largely attended by eastern people
than any held for several years.
It is industrious eastern people and
idle eastern money that We want to
attract to our state.
The committee appointed by De
partment Commander Ira F. Collins,
to secure the location of the National
Encampment in Kansas for 1892, has
widened the scope of its duties and
embraced the golden opportunity OF
making the most gigantic and artistic
display of Kansas products ever at
tempted at home or abroad. In con-
nection with the display, which will
include everything obtainable, the
committee will distribute hundreds of
thousands of circulars for the business
men of every locality.
We believe it to be the duty of
every business man to lay aside local
jealousies, take a double dose of local
pride, and devote an hour or two of
his time, dollar or two of his money,
and four or five thousand circulars to
this great undertaking. The interests
of our county demand this.
Major William Sims, State Treasur-
er and former secretary of the state
board OF agriculture, and Hon. Martin
Mohler- present secrerary of the state
board OF agriculture, are actively en-
gagged in making collection of field
and orchard products, and other men
have been engaged on specialties.
Fellow-citizens, pitch in and raise
something; raise anything that will
add dignity, grace, beauty or interest
to the exhibit and create an interest
in our locality.
This exhibit, together with the great
Kansas campfire, at Music Hall, in
Boston, August 18th, will be the prin-
cipal attractions, and such another op-
portunity TO advertise Kansas and ouI
own locality at so little expense viii

for a personal invitation, but tender

"How things have changed since Bet
sy died." just think of it; hardly
two years ago the Democrats in Con-
gress, and to some extent throughout
the country, were divided upon tariff.
Now they are united here and every
where upon all great questions, and are
voting solid all along the line. 1t is
the Republicans now who are fighting
each other here and in the country.
They can not agree upon tariff, silver,
pensions, or civil service. It's glori-

There is protective tariff of 20 per
cent on Bibles, and as the record of
both parties show that they aim to
put the tariff ON the articles that the
other party use, it is evident that the
Republicans thought that the Bible
was used more by Democrats than by
Republicans, otherwise they would
have put them on the free list. Sal
vation is not free under a republican
administration that is, if the salvation
comes from the Bible.-Garden City

rARa7ERs ARE AWAKE.

A great many of the farmers are as
thoroughly disgusted with the tariff
bill as any other class in the country.
Its easy passage by the Republican
house has caused quite a commotiOn

In Minnesota, for example, the farm
ers are almost unanimous against it.
At the meeting of the Clay county alli-
ance short time ago, it was vigorous

resentatives who supported it in con-

possible that political considerations
may induce the Republicans to admit

Colonel Hubbard Valves Censorship y
Rights Toward Women.
[Chicago Tribune,

Colonel John N. Hubbard is in a
frame of mind. Colonel Hubbard is
assistant postmaster OF Chicago, and
1t IL his business to see that no de-
basing literature passes through the
Chicago postoffice to SOW seeds OF
vice in the young hearts of this and
neighboring towns. He has had to
put on the gloves with lot of per-
nicious writers, and everybody who
reads the newspapers knows how he
won't after Leo Tolstoi and bounced
that famous gentleman and his
"Kreutzer Sonata" out of the mails.
The publicity given to Colonel Hub
bard's joust with the count has
placed the colonel in the position OF
defender of morals for the northern
district of Illinois, and he rather
liked the job until some righteous
person sent him poem of Mrs. Ella
| Wheeler Wilcox's and asked him to
suppress that. Then the colonel had
his frame of mind.
Mrs. Wilcox after a long term OF
domestic quatraih cut loose in Mrs.
Frank Leslie's Monthly Magazine
and hit the Tyre swing or two that
warped the wires and burned the
m.shellac of the sounding board.

which the following Ia n bar or two:

Once more In our loves sweet beginning

Once more IN tho 10y of our SHINING
Arc the hopes OF eternity hurled.
There is nothing my soul lacks or misses
AS l clasp the dream shape to my
breast,
In tho passion and pain of her kisses
Life blooms to its richest and best.
She touches my cheek and culver
tremble with exquisite pains.
She signs. Like an overcharged river,
My blood rushos on thro' my veins.
She smiles. And In mad tiger fashion,
As u she tiger fondles hor own,
/ clasp her with fierccnoss and passion,
And kiss her with shudder and groan.
When Colonel Hubbard read this
he was inclined to con nfiscate tho
magazine. Then he reflected that
Mrs. Wilcox was u woman and he
had u reputation for gallantry to
sustain. Finally, last night at II 80
O'clock, as he sat In his pleasant
home, reading DIR. Jeremy Taylor's
"Holy Living and Dying" he had
about made up his mind that he
wouldn't bar out Mrs. Wilcox, and
he was prepared to defend his stand

not last long; he was too fresh.
