The Prairie Farmer.

The old reliable agricultural journal,
Tile Prairie Farmer, of Chicago, comes
out with its initial number for 1891 IN a
handsome new dress, and Is indeed an
elegant paper, filled with the soundest and
mostpractical information for all interes-
ted in agriculture in its many depart
ments. The present editorial organiza-
ton of The Praiy,e Farmer is most COM
plete and thorough, and the journal en-
tiers its 51st year better equipped than
ever. Writers who are well known auth
critics are its regular contributors, and
their articles are accompanied by illustra'
tons and engravings, to assist the reader
to the fullest understanding of the sub
ject treated.
The Prairie Farmer is a model home
paper, alike useful to the farmer, the vii
lager, and the city man, furnishing de
liehtful reading for all who love and ap
preciate agriculture. The ladies anC
children are not forgotten, for its depart
ments of Household, Garden and Lawn
Young Folks, Poetry, Puzzles and Mis-
cellany are unsurpassed.

This is the season of the year
when the feelings of the newspaper
man are badly narrowed on account
of the letting of the county printing
to the other fellow, Unlike the
measles you may get this disease
more than once, but usually not more
than once in a year. 1t may be
denominated as an annual. Now
if we had our way we would like to
see every paper in the district get
the county printing, or its equiVa-
lent in cash from some source, but
the law only provides for one, and
those that are left invariably feel
that they have been abused, and to
retalia5e, abuse the county commits
sioners.

WE are not hero worshippers and
we think more of the prosperity of
our state than the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of any individual. We, therefore,
advocated the election of John ].
ingalls, to the United States senate,
in the interest of Kansas, and not in
the interest of the senator himself.
Ingalls, can better afford to retire
from his exalted position than the
state can afford to lose his services.
A position in the United States SEN
ate can add nothing to his reputa-
ton. That is already made and
history will accord to him a place
beside Clay, Webster and Calhoun.
Just now partisan feeling is too high
to do him justice. But Kansas will
survive. Her prosperity does not
depend upon any one man. Abso-
lutte freedom had its birth upon
Kansas soil, and so long as our pres
ent form of government survives
Kansas will continue to be the
brightest star in the constellation
and ingalls, will always be her
favorite son.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.

CoLFAx, WASH, Jan. 10. 81
Western Kansas World:
[ have read the communication OF
G.. W. BLACKWELL in the WORLD OF
Dec. 18th in which he says, "the
attorneys idea was merely their
fees" In the same communication
he says: my advice to the poor
hsmesteader is not to put any conf
dence in the Democratic party or its
auxiliaries. If you do you are left. "
The question arose in my mind,
are there not many good things
which an observing person can say
truthfully about both the republican
and democratic parties?
Now l would like to give you and
the many readers of the WORLD a
little of my experience and you can
draw your own conclusions as to
whether the above assertions will
apply in my case.
l came to Trego county in the
spring of 1879 and took a home

JUDGE PETER is in no sense re-
markable man, but his election is a
remarkable instance of good fortune
and political accident, He IS not
brilliant, but eminently respectable,
and represents the conservative por-
ton of the peoples party. In doct-
rine and belief he is more of a re-
publican than he is an exponent OF
alliance principles. He is protect
ionist. which places strong wall
between him and the democracy
whose entire faith is centered in the
one idea of free trade. He is man
of recognized and undoubted in
tegrity, although some Of the
methods he employed to supplant
ingalls,, were not altogether credit
able. He will not be a nonentity
but a negative element. He will
not be a leader-he will only count
one. To sum it all up PETER will
not bring ridicule, nor reproach
upon the state of Kansas, neither
will he reflect any particular credit
upon this commonwealth of ours.

The alliance legislators through

THE alliance legislators through
out the west are trying to decide up
on some maximum rate of interest,
which they will make uniform by
placing in the usury laws of their
respective states.
This morning a communication,
accompanied by a resolution, came
before the house from a committee
appointed by the Nebraska legisla-
ture. The resolution was in the
nature of a request that the Kansas
legislature appoint a committee to
confer, through correspondence OF
otherwise, with similar committees
from the states of minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Colorado and
Nebraska, to the end that a maxi.
mum rate of interest might be de-
cided on.
A motion was carried that the
communication be referred to a
select committee of three to be ap.
pointed by the chair.-KanSaS CITY

The Topeka Capital has made a
most determined and aggressive
fight in favor of ingalls,, but since
it was beaten it submits most grace
fully, as is evidenced by the follow
ing of January 28th:
THE Kansas City Times and the
solid south will now strut and swear
they did it,; but Judge PETER is at
heart a sound protective tariff repub.
lican. The grand old party is still
on deck in Kansas with republican
administration and two republican
senators.

In Speaking of the Indians, Secre-
tary Noble says that man who can
handle a Winchester rifle with the
skill they do can very easily learn the
mysteries of agricultural implements.
In other words the secretarys idea
is that the American Indians is pos
sessed of sufficient intelligence to
work. There is no doubt about 1t,
and in view of this fact, the policy
of the government in feeding them
in idleness, becomes inexplicable.
The government should be just before
it is generous and, if there is asurplus
in the store house, it should be dis
tributed among those, who at least
try to make living for themselves.
The noble red man exists only in the
imagination of the poet and novelist
The cunning, treacherous, blood
thirsty, idle savage is what we have
n deal with at this time. Too much
sympathy has already been wasted.
Compel the Indians to work the same
ne White men or let them starve.

WE are in a position to discuss
this matter without any bias or pref
udice. We believe that the system
of competitive bidding is all wrong.
The commissioners should select the
paper which in their opinion is
the representative county paper,
taking into consideration the
length of time established, its quality
whether a mere campaign paper
started principally for county print
ing, its circulation, its permanency
and its ability to do the work salts
factory. When all these matters
have been considered there should be
but little difficulty in deciding. The
legislature has already decided upon
the compensation to be received.
You have a right to presume that
the compensation is fair to all con-
cerned. While the law gives you
the right to accept the lowest bid, it
is, in most instances, no more econ
omy than to employ the cheapest
teacher you can find without any re-
gard for his qualifications, or to en-
ploy always the man to work for you
on your farm who will work the
cheapest. There are so many things
to take into consideration, that we
unhesitatingly affirm that the rule,
of letting the county printing to
the lowest bidder, is wrong in theory
and disastrous in practice and al
together unfair.

day advertised, and he said he would |
receive proof on Monday morning,
and would send the affidavit along
with the other papers to the COM
missioner of the general land Office
at Washington. He said he was so
sure that it would be all right that
i'll had to re-advertise he would pay
the cost of advertising. We follow
ed his advice and l got my final
receipt. In the fall of 1887 | came
to Washington and brought my
family with me. Upto this time |
had not heard anything about my
patent. In the spring of 1888 l re-
ceived notice from the register of
the land office at Wa-Keeney that
my final proof had been set aside at
Washington and that l would be
required to appear at Wa-Keeney
land office and make new proof in
support of my homestead. | did
not know what should do. To go
to Wa-Keeney would be an expense
of about one hundred dollars for rail-
road fare, so l made up my mind
that | would not be scared about it.
VIC. L. Beard was register at the
time | received the notice to make
new proof. I sent the notice that |
received from him to my attorney
and requested him to do what he
could for me. He Informed me that
he would write to the Secretary of
the Interior about the matter. |
wrote to President Cleveland about
1t. l did not tell him l was a
good democrat and had voted
for him and now l expected
him to do me a favor, etc. /
wrote him plain statement of my
case in as few words as I could and
asked him if he could help me out
of the difficulty. I received a very
pleasant reply from him in which he
said he had referred my letter to the
Secretary Of the Interior In few
days l received a letter from the act
ing commissioner Of the land Office
at Washington, saying that he had
reconsidered the action OF that office
wherein l was required to make new
proof and that my case was approx
ed for patent and that patent would
issue in the regular course of bust
ness, When my decd arrived at the
land office in Wa-Keeney, my attor-
ney received it, had it recorded, paid
the charges out of his own money
and forwarded it to me at Colfax.
My attorney did all he could for me
and Mr.. BLACKWELL made mistake
when he made such a broad assertion
about the attorneys. One thing is
certain; he failed to adduce one sin
gle fact to prove his assertion:
The deed is signed by Grover
Cleveland and l got it without
going back to Wa-Keeney to make
new proof and the officers were all
democrats from Grover Cleveland to
W. C. L. Beard. And | believe !
would have received justice if all
the officers had been republicans.
There are a great many men who
denounce vehemently the party they
do not support, and yet they know
very little Of its history, its princi-
pies or it's achievements. Many OF
them never read even the platform
of their own political party. They
are not freemen in a true and noble
sense but are led by inscriptions
and designing party leaders:

Publicity is of paramount import
ance. The object of the statute is
to give notice. Therefore the paper
having the largest circulation, other
things being equal should be the Of
fetal county paper. There can be but
one official county paper in each
county. To declare paper the
official organ of county merely be-
cause it agrees to perform the
service required for less than legal
rates, is not in the interest of in
trenchment, economy or reform.
Our supreme court says: at is the
duty of county'boards to comply with
the spirit as well as the letter of the
law, and getting of low rates,
whether the paper doing the work
has any circulation or not, violates
the purpose Of the statute. Our
object in advertising tax sales is, to
give full notice to the land owner
and furnish him with every facility
for the voluntary payment of the
tax, before a resort is had to coer-
