There is nothing drouthy about
Kansas now. Her rain fall this year
has been greater than that of any other
area in the country. The dfouth
section now includes land it has now
been SO for Year, Southern Missouri
and Southern and Central Illinois.
Since January. l the rain fall il Kansas
has been from four to eight inches
above the normal. In this same time
the deficiency at Springfield Mo-, has
been 5.S4 inches; a. St. Louis 4.74
inches, at Springfield, ILL.,, $40 inches
at Cairo 3.55 inches, Chicago, with the
lake to breed moisture, is short PCS
inches. Illinois now is in very much
the condition so common heretofore in
Kansas. Her rains have been certainly
LEGAL. There are counties in Illinois
now suffering from drouto, while ad
joining counties Gave plenty of moist
ure. No one can say whether this
shifting of the storm area will be per-
manent. It is as likely to be as not
to be. Kansas has not been SO thor
oughly soaked for years. Springs
that have been dry for years are now
running.-Ex.

Congressional Candidates.

Congressman Lind's announcement
that he is to retire from politics at the
end of his term is cause for regret to
the people of the Second district. The
people have uss for John Lind
Springfield Advance.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Lind's state
ment or letters, there seems to be a
strong sentiment in favor of his return.
and if there is any degree of unanim-
ity in the convention of 1892, l think
that the present congressman will sac
rifice his personal feelings for the in
terest of the Republican party.-Sen-
ator Day of Fairmont.
!. l would suggest as a successor to
Mr.. Lind, the name of a modest and
unassuming gentleman, with a keen
and incisive intellect. coupled with
good and kindly intentions towards
his fellow men, and practical methods
to accomplish his purposes. The gen
tleman referred to lives at Sleepy Eye,
and is popularity known as Jim"
Thompson.-J. H. Byington in Lam
berton Leader.
Referring to the nomination of Mr..
Thompson, the Sleepy Eye Herald
says: The Redwood county gentle-
man makes an excellent nomination.
Mr.. Thompson is a man of ability and
was recognized as such in the two con-
vent;ons that nominated the Hon. John
Lind for con gress. In both cases Mr..
Thompson made the nomination
speech that ca r;ed Mr.. Lind in by &C
clamation. The mantle of John Lind
would be worn with credit to the dis
trict by Mr.. Thompson.
Ex-Congressman J. B. Wakefield: I
think that Mr.. Lind will succeed HIM
self unless he announces positively
that he will not accept denomination.
He has made such all excellent repre-
sentative and is man so eminently
we'll fitted for the place that it would
be misfortune if he would not en-
sent to run again. But think he will
accept the nomination. Among the
other names mentioned for the place,
in case Mr.. Lind does not run, is that
of O. B. Turrell, of Redwood Falls, a
person of vast legislative experience
and cminently we'll qualified for the
place.

For God and Home and N1tire Land.

MIR. T. V. Povderly at convention
of Labor Leaders said of the saloons
in the city of Pittsburg: Before the
delegates to this convention separate
to go to their homes, | would ask them
to go On foot through the streets of
Pittsburg, and study the temperance
question as they so. They will sec
handsome buildings devoted to tie
sale of liquor on the principal streets,
and if they estimate the cost of one of
these buildings, they will learn that it
runs away up into the thousands, far
above the reach of the working mans
income. On one of the streets of Pitts
burg will be seen a saloon, the plate
glass front Of which is worth $1,000, the
bar aHd fixtures are worth $4,000, the
paintings and other decorations are
valued at 81 GOO. All of this is separ-
ate and apart from the building itself,
and of the plot of ground on which it
stands. Stand guard at that door for
twentyfour hours, and thousands of
men will be seen passing in and cut.
OF the number, nine-tenths will wear
the garb of labor; they will be workers
in the mills and factories that makes
Pittsburg famous and foremost in the
history OF manufacture in the United
States. Follow one of these men to
his home, and contrast it's appearance,
condition, and surroundings with the
palace he stopped at on his way home,
and not one iota of resemblance will
be seen. Inquire if he owns the house
he lives in, and it is more than likely
that the answer will be in the mega
tive. Ask him why he does not live in
a better and more comfortable home,
and his reply will be, Il cannot afford
it." Take walk through the entire
city, and it will be seen that the palac-
es in which liquor is sold are costly
and we'll furnished, while the. homes
of the toilers are cheap and poorly
furnished. Go still further, and it will
be discovered that the men who live in
the illy-ventilated, poorly furnished,
stuffy, unhealthy tenements or dwell
ings, are the very men whose dimes
and dollars have furnished the "palaces
of help with plateglass windows, ex-
pensive bars ard fixtures, costly paint
ings and neat surroundings.
Names new liquor law seems to
have no loep-holes in it. If faithfully
executed it will make prohibition pro-
hibit. Hotels have closed their bars,
druggists have disposed of their stock
of liquors, and express companies have
issued stringent orders to their en-
ployes upon the subject. No one dares
to exhibit United States license even,
| for that is evidence against him, and
will land him in Jail for sixty days,
and mulct him in the sum of S1OO.
Nobody as yet seems inclined to test
the law, especially since the temper
ance leaders formed a league with
100000 to enforce it.-Union Signal
An English cartoon represents John
Bull as giving General Booth $780,
OOG, saying: "Go and save the sub
merged tenth" With the other hand
he gives the saloon keeper, or publican,
$780, 100000 and bids him "go on sub
merging the masses"

A writer of national reputation il
writing to the leading paper in Cal
cutta, says: The plain facts, is that
the stocks of cereals, especially wheat,
have been and are, of late, running in
this country to a dangerous minimum
and the people have not realized the
fact that all the wheat which India
produces is required for the consump-
ton of the country, and this fact will
not be realized until serious disaster
occurs. l have held for some years
past the opinion, and do SO more
strongly now, that Comparatively speak
ing in a few years India will ceaze to
export wheat, and soon after will be-
como an importing country During
the last decade India has only exported
II per cent of it's wheat crop, while
but one section of either country re-
ports the inhabitants, owing to inability
to buy, have as much bread-stuffs as
the recruitment deman led.

WASHINGTON L TIER.

ED. GAZETTE: DR.. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew is not only one of the best takers,
but one of the best thinkers this con
fury has produced. He has been West
to one of the railroad directory meet
ings to deliver an Grafton at the tomb
of Grant, at Galena; to make all edu-
cational speech at Cincinnati, and has
always kept, not only his eyes, but his
ears open and his intellectual facili-
ties in full play.
He says in regard to politics; THAT
since the organization of the third par
ty at Cincinnati, the leaders have made
that party close corporation and no
one can see the rolls of membership.
1t is therefore impossible to arrive at a
definite statement of the strength of
the new party, or tell which of the old
parties will be most damaged by the
advent of the new.
As to Ohio, he Says: 'In Ohio the
Republicans are unanimous on Nc
kinley; and the Democratic party is
hopelessly and bitterly divided on
Campbell and his denomination. The
Democratic division is SO venomous
that it cannot fail in bringing about a
strong Democratic revolt, whether
Campbell is renominated or defeated.
The Judgment of both Democratic
and Republican observers which l
met-and met one of the best in the
state-was that in Ohio the Farmers
Alliance will draw more votes from the
Democratic than from the Republican
party.
Mr.. Depew's Judgment will be &C
cepted by almost every one, as that of
a man, whilst Republican does not
permit his party affiliations or preju-
dices to mislead him in search after
the truth.
The Democratic papers and more
particularly the assistant Democratic
papers, like the New York Times and
the Evening Post, are ,endeavoring to
besmirch Postmaster General Wanna
maker, because of some supposed con-
nection with the Spring Garden and
the keystone Banks in Philadelphia.
The attempt has utterly collapsed
since Mr.. Wanamaker went before the
lnVesClSatlnS cOmmlttee ana maze a
statement which perfectly cleared him
of the slightest blame in the matter.
These same papers have also been
charging Mr.. Lacey, the Comptroller
of the Currency of neglect Of duty in
regard to the Keystone Bank, and they
will be utterly COMPOUNDED in regard
to this as they have been in regard to
the Postmaster General; when Mr..
Lacey makes his statement which will
be this week, Representative Mills, of
Texas, who desires to be the Speaker
of the next house has been talking a
little politics of late. Mills is evident
ly alarmed at the third party move
ment and fearful that it will make a
split in the Southern Democracy, so
he in common with all the other Dem
ocrats has followed the lead set by
Senator German in his Baltimore
speech, and is vigorously waving the
Southern bloody shirt" that is negro
domination, to prevent Democratic
defections. He said, "that the third
party movement would not amount to

The avowal of Congressman Lind
that he would not be candidate for re-
election has precipitated the mention
of number of possible Republican
candidates, somewhat prematurely.
Ex-Congressman Wakefield, of Blue
Earth City, Editor Hunt, of Mankato,
and others have expressed the opinion
that Hon. 0. B. Turrell, of this county,
is we'll qualified to represent the dist
riot in congress, in which many of that
gentleman's friends here will gladly
concur. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that these suggestions are made with
out the knowledge of Mr.. Turrcll, whose
comment is that a nomination now is
premature, but all the same the COM
mendation of srpclr political leaders as
Hunt and Wakefield is not to be dc
spised.

President Harrison has issued a

agreement between this government
and Great Britain, closing the Behring
Sea against seal fishers for this season.
In 1867 the interest charges on the
bonded debt were Sl43 5000, 900 and the
pension charge was only S2O,OOo,OOO.
The soldiers waited while the claims
of the bondholders were being satisfied.
At the present time the interest on the
public debt is S26,OOOOOO, and the
pensions amount to Sl32,OO0,OOO. A
glance at the figures will show that
the increase in the pensions is not as
large as the reduction in the interest
on our bonds. The average per capita
costs for interest and pensions in 1887
was over 81, and now it is only about g.
