Though Lima is surrounded by some
most romantic and inviting spots there
seems to be an universal indifference to
country life; except during a certain season,
when it is the custom of those who can
afford it to flock to Mirafiores, (the New

are plenty of other places within short dis

Chicago, or any other North American
metropolis, would be covered by suburban
villas. People do not even ride out to
these lovely spots for breath of country

streets, except on All Souls Day, when
everybody promenades in the great pam

the twenty second day of June, when the
Limaian world proceeds to the hill of
Amancaes to pick daffodils.
Mirafores and Chorillos are both recov-
eripg slowly from the disasters of war,
which destroyed them almost completely in
1888. Before that evil day their wealthy
residences rivaled those at Saratoga, among
the Thousand Islands of the st. Lawrence
or on the Hudson river, most of them sur
rounded by beautiful gardens. Through
sheer malicious vandalism, regardless of
the rights of on-combatants, and in viola
ton of the laws of civilized warfare, the
Chilean army created about as much devas-
tation in this part OF Peru as Pizsrro
caused when he invaded the homes of the
peaceful Incas. Their lines of march were
shown by the destruction of everything
that would break or burn. Towns, villages,
farms and factories were swept awsy by
the use of dynamite and other explosives,

WICHITA AND THE STRIP.

A short time ago an excursion party
composed of a number of newspaper
people from northern Indiana made a
tour of the Southwest via the Santa Fe
system, going as far south as Oklahoma.
One of the party, Mr.. James Mcdonald
of the Ligonier Banner. in his account
of the trip published in his paper, makes
this brief but very complimentary men,
ton of Wichita:
"At II o'clock Friday night we joined
our party. and our next stop was at
Wichita, where we We're met bv the
mayor and other members of the CITY
government and representatives of the
board of trade with a pressing invitation
to tarry in that city. Previous arrange
ments, however, would not admit of a
stop, and we were compelled to go on
with but glimpse of the most wonder
full boom city of the world. Among
those who were at the train we met O.
T. Simmons and several other former
Noble county citizens. From one point
of view Wichita is still I'm it when it
come, 20 pretty buildings and beautiful
streets.
1.-The ride from Wichita to Arkansas
City seemed long, but it was not monot-
onous, even if we did have to wait until
IL o'clock for our breakfast We passed
through beautiful part of the state aud
on every hand evidences of prosperity
and abundant thrift were to be seen"
Passing on from Kansas into the strip
country the writer makes some pertinent
observations touching the undecided, if
not vascillatinG, policy of the govern
ment in dealing with the question of
ownership and control of that disputed
section. and then gives quite a graphic
pen picture of scenes presented to one
passing through it and on into Okla
homa. OF these he says:
"A few miles, and we were in-no-
where-that is, it represents nothing but
the peculiar nonsensical policy of this
great government of ours toward the red
race. Years ago when the sentimental
lists were in the ascendaRcy, the best part
of all this section of the world was turned
over or granted to the Indians, and there
vet remains a strip 200 miles long and 20
miles wide of as pretty land as lays out
of doors, without white man upon it or
even an Indian with an intent to make a
dollar out of it. After this ride of seven
ty miles with nothing but a prairie fire
or two, few herds of cattle and the at
tendant cowboys, lot of lazy, dirty In
dams, numerous prairie dogs, and a feel
ing of regret of SO much beautiful farm
ing land going to waste, we arrived at
the Oklahoma territorial line. What a
change. Upon every hand farm houses
dot the landscape. Fields of corn and
general crops give the country an APP
pearance OF life and evidences of grow
ing prosperity. Cabins, dug-outs and
pTetentious dwellings dot the prairie in
every direction, and those who were
lucky enough to pre-empt new home,
are seemingly happy and content with
their prospects"

Soldering Glass to Metal.

The Manufacturers Gazette describes a
new method. invented by a Frenchman, for
soldering glass to any metal that will take
solder. The glass is slightly warmed, and
to it is applied by means of a brush aquan-
tity of neutral chloride of platinum and
etherized oil Of chamomile, the glass hav
ing been previously covered by thin coat
ing of platinum. The oil slowly evaporat-
ing emits pungent, white vapor, which
having passed away the whole affair is
made subject TO red heat, and reducing
the platinum leaves a thin layer or metal
on it. The plated glass is then treated TO
a bath in sulphate of copper, and the coat
ing connected with the negative pole of a
sufficiently strong battery, when a coating
of copper is deposited so thick and strong
upon the platinum, rendering it suitable
to be worked in any way and can be treat
ed as metal in the soldering The durabil-
ity and tenacity of the article subject to
this treatment is said 10 be truly wonder
full, and is applied more TO the uniting of
glass tubes TO metal than in any instance.

SUGAR MAKING A SUCCESS.

The sorghum sugar industry OF Kansas
under the stimulus OF a big government
bounty, is making rapid progress. The
Topeka sugar works, which cost $50. 600
was sold at auction the other day and
brought S11-Emporia Republican.
If the sorghum sugar industry of Kan
sas depended for success upon the
bounty of cents a pound it might as
well be abandoned at once, because the
bounty is sure to be cut of, sooner or
later. But its success does not SO de-
pend. 1t was demonstrated before the
bounty was granted that sugar from sor-
ghum cane could be made at a profit.
The mill at Topeka is not the only one
that has failed OF success; but the trouble
has not been that profit was impossible
in tho enterprise, but lack of proper
management and financial weakness.
The mill at Fort Scott, the first one
erected in the state, and which labored
under all the disadvantages of new
and previously untried enterprise, has
been fairly successful-sufficiently so to
warrant its owners and managers to
keep it in operation without the intermis
sion of season since its establishment.
The same is true, and even more SO, of
the mill at Medicine Lodge.
In view of all these fact, therefore, it
occurs to US that instead of discouraging
the enterprise that has in store so much
of profit to our state, the newspapers of
the state could at least afford to reserve
their skeptical criticisms of it, if they
cannot work their consciences up to the
point of speaking an encouraging word
for it.
Our own belief is that not only will
the mill at Topeka be yet made profita
bic undertaking for its operators, when
it shall get into competent and practical
hands, but so also will the two mills at
Conway Springs and Attica, and that we
will yet make sugar making in Kansas
one of the states most extensive and
profitable enterprises.

THE REPUBLICANS WILL WIN.

One of the most level-headed men in
public life is Senator Orville II. Platt of
Connecticut Not an extremist on any
question he carefully weighs every Drop
osition and then forms his judgment,
hence his opinion on any subject is usu-
ally accepted as correct The answer to
the query of what the portends are for
next year and its great contests he
promptly said:
"The Republicans will win because
they stand for principles which the peO-
pie consider right and will indOrse. The
Democratic party is peculiar for two
great features. 1t cannot be held to the
advocacy or the defense of any issue up
on any subject. Whatever its platform
may express as to finances, the tariff or
other questions, you will find goldbug
Democrats, free-silver Democrats, pro-
lection Democrats and free-trade Demo
Gratis coming together, standing shoulder
TO shoulder, making their battle together
simply because they are Democrats. The
other peculiar feature is the Democratic
ability to trade on the prejudices of ig-
norGnt people"

Dr- KealevIs Prof1ts.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Dr. Kelley is getting a big return for
his outlay of money and time. Treat
ment at Dwight cost S25 a week to every
individual who goes there. No deduc-
ton from this price is made for any one.
The income from 500 patients, and the
number is constantly increasing, is $780,
600 per week. The expense Of running
the sanitarium cannot be more than one
quarter of that sum, so you see the
doctor is making money at great rate.
The Kelley company is erecting large
hotel and new sanitarium. Both OF
the buildings are nearly ready for
occupancy. In measure the doctor is
making up for keeping the secret of his
discovery by selling the right to physi
clans who have had experience in ad
ministering the remedy to establish sani-
tariums similar TO the one at Dwight in
the different states. Already this privi
lege has been sold in twenty states.

To our mind if anything was settled by
the election in New York on the third
inst, it was that Cleveland viii be the
Democratic nominee for president That
apprehension has been as good as veri-
fed. Senator Vest of Missouri and Col.
Lamb of Indiana met. by chance, a few
days ago, compared notes and agreed
that the ex-president is the man for the
party to nominate. This dual Demo

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.

From the Chicago News.
The tariff issue has been carried even
into the speakership contest. Mr.. Mills
of Texas Is said to represent that portion
of the Democratic party favorable to a
complete revision of the tariff. Although
an entirely new Democratic tariff bill
could not become a law during the Har-
rison administration, Mr.. Mills Is said to
be pushing the idea that the next con-
greSs should completely revise the tariff
and let Republican president and Re-
publican senate accept the responsibility
Of defeating the new law.
On the other hand. Mr.. Springer Of
Illinois is said 10 represent the wing Of
the Democratic party that favors only
that amount of tariff revision in the
next congress that can probably be
enacted into law. IN other words, Mr..
Springer proposes IT wool. repeal Of

From the Leoti Standard.
The editor of the Wichita EAGLE, in

he does not want to be candidate for
governor is because of an inherent per-
sonal repugnance to the distractions in
volved in the preliminary wire-layingS,
to the humiliating concessions necessary

scattered strikers of high and low de-
gree. and to the satisfactory under
standings that must be had with the

their ambitious friends, before even
primaries can be controlled and

But. Ike Blaine, he does not say that
he will not accept the nomination

that he would accept this honor if
rendered him without the humiliating
struggle that must precede such nomi
nation in securing the consent of all the

to see Mr.. Murdoch in the gubernatorial

done. the better it will be for all con-
cerned. The next governor of Kansas,
and in fact all our officials from that
down, should be selected by the people,
and not by any set of professional poll
ticians, as has too frequently been the
case in the past.

Prehistoric Relics.

From the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
Laconia, Ark, is wondering over re-
markable underground find made there
recently. \ well was being drilled, and
at the depth of 125 feet the drill struck
something hard which experts, on ex-
animation of the borings, pronounced to
be a layer of bricks. There are no bricks
in the neighborhood, and at the an-
nouncement of the discovery a curious
crowd assembled at the well. While
thew were there the drill brought up
what proved to be small coin, octago-
nal in shape, and marked with hero
glyphics that no one has been able yet
to decipher. Local antiquarians think
that the bricks and coin are relics of
some prehistoric race, of which other
traces have been found in the same
vicinity.

would be to place the Democrats on
record by enacIing another mills hiil'

that issue. Dir. Springer's method would
be 10 advance step by step, lowering or
abolishing such duties as could be ac-

cans at first, and leaving a more compre-
hensive tariff revision for future Dem
ocratic congress aided by Democratic

1t really matters little which of these

The talk about a future fusion between
the Peoples psrty and the Democratic

alton and Alliance innovation are strictly
antagonistic. Trades and personal greed

matter of truth that this government, in
