THE Dodge City 7T.3es. the first paper
established in Ford county. has made an
other flop. The paper has been republic
can and democratic, prohibition and re-
submission, independent. union labor
and now farmers alliance. We are glad
TO see any paper or individual reform,
and the first step in that direction is to
leave your sins and sinful associates be
hind. The TINES is attempting the first
step, but leaving the democracy for the
alliance is like the reforming drunkard
who takes spoonful less liquor each
day, if blessed with long life he may die
sober. 1t is not improbable that dem
cratic paper may be started in Dodge, as
the flop of the Times leaves that party
with no regularly published exponent in
the county, and Ford county democracy
can not live without an organ.

cept on the questions of unlimited coin

But if half of the appropriations demand

KANSAS.

A citizens of Kansas who does not wish
to boom his state this season is worse
than an infidel, and has no claim upon
the reward offered the heather. This
year can the land agent exert himself to
the uttermost. and the Tyre of the boom
paper bring forth his sweetest strains.
yet half will not be told of the beauties
of these Kansas days. The cattle upon
IA thousand hills are now preparing
themselves for their ultimate end. little
thinking that our fat-prOducing buffalo
grass will prove their worse enemy. and
by the middle of June will have them
ready for the block. The prospect for
an abundant and early harvest was never
so favorable as at present. The acreage
is more than double that of any year as
to small grains. and the condition better
than ever before. Many of our farmers
had about given up the idea of planting
corn but the unusual amount of rain has
so thoroughly soaked the soil as to re-
move all fear of hot winds this season
and large acreage of corn is now being
planted.
The Kansas GrOwler of this year is he
who left the state and fertile tract of
land and is now growing because it is so
wet he cannot raise sufficient dust to re-
turn. You will find him in Iowa. Illinois.
Missouri and Arkansas. The price of
Kansas land is now on the ascendency.
and with it the spirits of the farmer.
which have indeed had cause to be low
for some time. The wave of prosperity
now rolling westward is far reaching. the
farmer has wealth within his grasp; the
land agent has hopes of profitable year
and the registers of deeds see many fees
coming their way, not only for record
ing deeds and making abstracts but the
instruments now to go on record are the
releases of those mortgages that have
caused so much comment from calamity
howlers. Grain covered Kansas is now
preparing to furnish sandwiches for the
world from her own flour, beef and ham.

The general effect Of the elections
throughout the cities in the country will
be AN added impulse to the republican
party that will offset increased growth of
the alliance. The fact is now quite ap-
parent that the republicans can not de-

as heretofore. and the cities are throwing
off the democratic yoke. A three sided
fight will do no harm and after the strug-

farmers, increased coinage of silver has
stimulated home trade and enterprise,

party the dawn of prosperity has burst

the farmers Of the country realize that

LincOTn,s Death.

Yesterday was day of grave and ten
der memories. On the 14th of April.
1865. the telegraph flashed to an astound-
ed nation the news of President Lincoln s
assassination. Twenty-siX years ago a
sorrowing people eagerly scanned the
columns of the morning journals to learn
if the president were yet dead. if he can
live. Hope was brief. In short time
came the intelligence that the fatal bull
let had performed its mission. At Z
O'Clock the Presiden Mt was dead For the
first time in the history of the nation 4
president had been assasSinated The
excitement of the day had never been
equalled in this land. nor has it been
since. Men knew not what impended.
Four years of frightful. wasteful war. it
was past: emancipation was reality
slavery was ended; peace had come.
Amid the pealing of glad bells the trust
ed leader was struck down. The heart
of great people stood still. An undi-
vided nation wanders back in reverent
fancy to that sad April morning when
its great chief lay dead. Among its dis
tinguished dead America knows no no.
bier name than that of Lincoln.

per printed at Topeka. Kansas, recently
attacked the census bureau, charging its

conducted for political purposes. Supt
Porter. in vigorous letter to the editor
of the Ad1Ooafe, defends the bureau. and
declares the desire has been to ascertain
the truth. and, as far as possible, the
whole truth, in regard to the recorded in.
debtedness of the people of the United
States. The census office is not antagO-
nistic to any one or to any class of peo-
pie, and is pursuing its Investigations in
a faithful manner. 1t asks only for COM

be judged according to their merit.

simply says no more of this union with
the democrats or Kansas will be in the

The financial issues of the next cam
paign will run about as follows: In the
East the republicans will charge the
democrats with being the advocates OF
free coinage of silver and the latter will
resent the charge as blaukety blank

democrats will charge the republicans
with being opposed to free coinage, and
they will refute the charge, and proceed
to show that all the favorable silver leg
islation had come through a republican

Although the President is away there
is scarcely ripple in the domestic ar
engagements of the White House. To the
ordinary visitor. who is only shown the
east room of the executive mansion there
is nothing in the surroundings to Indicate
the absence of the President. and those
who have business in either the official
or domestic ends of the mansion. find
that their wants are attended to Just as
well as though the executive household
were complete. Yesterday was an unus-
ually quiet day at the White House. the
quiet being intensified by the feeling of
sadness that affected all the inmates over
the death of Mrs. Halford. wife Of Private
Secretary HalfOrd. There were compar-
atively few visitors. and as the public is
excluded after2 o'clock. the mansion
seemed deserted in the afternoon. In the
Official wing of the mansion Secretary
Halford presides in the absence of the
president. and the sad affiictiOn which
has befallen him will necessarily take him
from public duty for some time.

The correspondence between Secretary
Blaine and the Italian government since
the Secretary's note to Marquis Imper-
iali, acknowledging notice of Baron
Fava's departure was given to the pub
lie Wednesday. The reply to the COM
munication of Marquis Imperial of the
End of April. is elaborate and argument
alive. Mr.. Blaine states his points with
such convincing clearness that they can
hardly fail to command acceptance at
Rome upon careful and candid consider
alton. The positions taken are. IN brief,
that so far as indemnity to the families
of the Italian subjects killed at New Or
leans is concerned, it is not made obliga-
tory upon the United States by the terms
of the existing treaty. and that it yet re-
mains to be determined upon the official
report of the Attorney General whether
criminal proceedings can be instituted
under the Federal laws in the Federal
courts against the persons charged with
crime. lie Treaty gives ~ IldliduS uOlll-
iciled in this country the same protection
that is accorded to American citizens. 1t
gives no more. Only, therefore, in case
it should appear that the hOmicides Oc-
CURED through the neglect or connivance
of the authorities charged with the pres
ervatiOn of the public peace. would the
President be disposed to ask congress for
relief of the surviving families. TO this
extent alone is the governments respOn-
sibility for the action of the mob admit
ted. If it should appear that the govern
ment may proceed against the offenders
in its own courts, the case will be pre-
sented according to the usual methods.
If not. the president can do no more than
urge such action upon the State authori-
ties of Louisiana, which has already been
done.
