THE SITUATION GETTING INTER
BSTING.

The solidarity of the Republican
phalanx in Kansas, as was shown by the
harmony and enthusiasm manifested in
the League convention in Topeka this
week, puts different phase on the po-
litical situation in Kansas than that
which has been suppos ed by the skep-
teal to exist. Unless we are badly mis-
taken, the Peoples party and the De-
mocracy will both be dismounting from
their high no-fusion horses without
much ceremony and less hesitation.
With them the situation is now very I'M
like that that Stewart and Breckenridge
found themselves in at the battle of Mis-
sionary Ridge, near Chattanooga, as told
by Maj. Newman, of Gen. Stewards
staff. Newman was sent by Gen. Stew

and reinforce him. He was mighty

RAINS AND FROSTS.

1t has proved little dry in south Kan
sas for the past two weeks, and the rain
yesterday was needed to put the ground
in proper condition Or fall wheat plow-
ing, but our short drouth, coming after
all the great crops had been matured. Is
but a small drawback compared to the
early nipping frosts which have visited
Minnesota, the Dakotas and portions Of
Nebraska during the past two weeks.
Late peaches. winter apples and small
per cent of the late corn have undoubt-
edly been in5uriously effected by the
very dry weather of the past two weeks,
but the injury is comparatively so insig-
niicant that it is hardly worth mention
ing.
Some of the weather prophets are pre-
dieting very early fall and frost for
the latitude of Kansas from the 18th to
the nth of September, nearly one month
earlier than usual, to be followed by an
incleneent autumn and cold winter.
However that may be, Kansas has not
failed on single production this year,
either field, orchard or garden, and her
people are well prepared for the worst
that could follow.

THE FARMERS DRCDGERY-A PRAC-
TTCAL REMEDY

Perhaps no one has a clearer under
standing of the real condition of the
farmer, or has made a closer study OF
the causes of agricultural depression,
than John w. Bookwalter. He spent
the earlier years of his life on farm in
Indiana, and all his life since then he
has been in close contact; with western
agricultural communities. and has made
diligent study of the production and
the distribution of farm products. As is
We'll known, Mr.. Bookwalter is trying
an experiment in Nebraska that will be
watched with great interest, not only in
our own country, but in every other
civilized land. The experiment will be
the establishment of farm villages with
the purpose of bringing to farmers the
benefits Of association and cooperation,
which almost every other class has
secured in some way or other, and
especially of bringing relief from the
terrible isolation of farm life.
Mr.. BOokwalter has written for the
September number of the Forum a
full statement of his own experience on
a farm, including a description of the
actual work done day by day,
year by year, by the average western
farmer; and he explains the reasons
why he hopes by the building of farm
villages to revolutionize the dreary life
of the farmer. The article is at once a
literal description of the farmers condi-
ton, a review of the causes of agricul-
tural depression, and most important of
ali, an explanation of practical remedy
that seems to be constructed on the lines
of the most important modern advance
ments.
Mr.. Bookwalter's experiment, for so it
must be classed until demonstrated to
be a success, can only be practically ap-
piled in new or sparsely settled section,
though it may be said for it that it is
designed only for such sections. The
idea, while somewhat novel in this
country, is not new one but was evil
IDENTIFY borrowed from ancient and sa-
cred history, f-ad the plan is
in operation in some remote portions of
the universe to the present day. How
ever. this will not detract from the gen.
eral interest that will be felt in Mr..
undertaking, nor from his
article referred to explanatory of the
system or plan upon which it is to be

mittee out here to investigate. After

gathered from the following utterance of
some of its members:

worse than nuisance 10 any commun-
