THAT PIPE ORGAN RECITAL

In this western country we seldom have
the privilege of hearing the greatest
tragedians. orators and musicians. or even
those who are among the greatest. When
they do come we generally avail ourselves
OF hearing them.
Frederic Archer is truly as great in his
line as Booth, Barrett, Patti or Mojeska
are In their special professions. The fol-
lowing is what a prominent musician of
Wichita has to say:
No one whether familiar with the re-
sources and possibilities of pipe organ or
not, should fail to enjoy the rare musical
treat promised at the First VI. E. church
On Friday evening. Mr. Archer, whose
name is synonymous with all that is per-
feet in both the science and the art of
music, is universally recognized as one of
the few phenomenal organists of the nine
tenth century. His technique is marvel
Gus and while on his work he displays the
skill of master i'll every detail. He never
forgets to properly interpret the spirit of
the majestic creations he presents through
the medium of his chosen instrument. In
the most comprehensive sense he is abso-
lutely peerless. GEO. C. Young.
Miss Annie c. Reel and Miss Blanche

each have appeared before large audiences
in Wichita. They each are on the pro-
gram for number The following is the

TIE MONEYED PRODUCT.

1t has been the pleasure of
some of the Northern press re-
Gently to say that the tendency
III the South towards the diver
sificatiop Of crops was baneful
to the interests of the farmer,
claiming that the old staple,
cotton, was after all the only re-
liable pl oduct. Such papers
must certainly be ieagued with
the Northern manufacturer, or
middle man, ard permitted to
retain part of the profits thai
play annually into their hands
Ike last remainder of the uniort-
innate cotton producer, the other
going to the payment OF neccesa-
ry supplies. 70 make cotton a
money ed crop, alid. we believe that
il is the only way, would be to
make the farm self sustaining
and independent OF this particl-
Jar product. In order t, do this
the farmer must necessarily diff
versify his crop. AS a result o.
such procedure. the Southern
farmer would then draw supplies
from his own graneries and smoke
houses. He would breed his o ,vn
stock and reduce materially the
quantity of bought fertilizers.
When this is done, then. perhaps
the cotton crop would represent
the margin of profit Tor annual
operations. True, in 1880 South
ern cotton factories consumed
10000 bales and in 1890, over
500, 900 bales. This is progress,
but agriculture is the ground
work Of a countries prosperity
and until the South makes cot
ton Il secondary consideration,
there is but slight hope for a
change for the better. The rails
ing of tobacco in this State is
decidedly the more pr ofitable and
the same holds true throughout
the Southern States.

at large is replaced by sordid and
selfish motives directed to per-
sonal advantage, while the en-
enlargement of such motives in
public place for i.arty ends dead
ems the official conscience.
Public extravaganza directly
distributes gifts aud gratuities-
among the people, whose tolera-
ton Of waste'is thus secured or
whose past party services are
thus compensated, Or who are
bribed to future party support.
This makes the continuance of
partisan power a stronger mo-
tive among public servants than
the faithful discharge OF the peo-
pies trust and sows the seeds of
contagious corruption in the
body polite.
But to my mind the sad!est
and most frightful result of pub
lie extravaganza is seen in the
readiness of the masses of our
people, who are not dishonest
but only needless, to accustom
themselves to that deleliction in
) public place which it involves.
Evidence is thus furnished that
countrymen are in danger ofslos-
ing scrupulous insistence upon
the faithful discharge of duty
upon the part of their public SER
wants, the regard for economy
and frugality which belongs to
sturdy Americanism, the indie
pendence which relies upon per-
sonal endeaver. and the love of
an honest and well-regulated
government, all CT which lie at
the foundation of our free insti-
| buttons.

Ben Butler Hard to Down.

When Judge Carpenter in the Uni
ted States court in Boston refused to
hear General Butler, and expelled
him from the courtroom, the gener.
al's client, Mrs. Charietta johnson,
was left unrepresented, and was sen
fenced to term of Imprisonment.
Butler has succeeded in getting the
woman out of Jail on writ of 'sper-
sonal repleyin," which the Boston
Globe says is an old process not
used in this country for many years.
Judge Carpenter will find that Ben
Butler is very hard man to keep
down.
A local paper of Germany for COM
pairing the Kaiser to the Emperor
Sigismund in respect of a rowing dis
position and assiduity in spending
money, was threatened by the States
Attorney with prosecution, but the
Emperor interfered. He remembers
that his ancestors acquired Bfanden-
burg in 1417 from Sigismund, who
owed them 400, 900 ducats, nor does
he forget that the latter made him
self King of Italy and Roman Empe-
ror, and that he feathered his nest
generally very well, if sometimes at
the expense Of others,

Col. Livingston of Georgia, "a
conservative Allianceman and an
important factor in Southern
Alliance circles, has written a let
ter, very decided in tone, in re-
gard to the convention to be held
in Cincinnati on the 10th of next
month. In it he says that the
Southern Alliance will not par
ticipate i'll the convention, and
that McGeath as President of the
State Alliance of Kansas, had no
authority whatever for issuing
such a call.

It has been currently charged
that all the expenses of Harri-
sons thirty days journey in the
celebrated Presidential train
We're paid out OF the pocket of
Mr.. George Pullman, the car
builder, of Chicago. Whether this
is true or not, and from the fact
th;t no evidence has been offered
to substantiate the statement,
there should be a reasonable
doubt, it must certainly be very
annoying to the President. Since
that Cape May cottage affair
his sensitiveness to accusa-
lions of deadheadmm is well
know.

There's nothing pays better than

of Brooklyn, has had such post,
and in settling up the estate credits
himself with fees to the amount of
$50, 600, besides atrife of $4,000
for clerks and lawyers. This is a
matter which will bear thinking

The months jaunt through
the South and West is ended and
President Harrison is home
again. Today he grasps once more
the helm Of the Nation and
takes up the roll of public ques-
tons. many of which have been
awaiting, patiently, his official
consideration. There are indeed
a large number OF questions Mr..
Harrison will have to decide;
from the granting of consular
leave of absence to thejointeoun
ell with Secretary Blaine on the
New Orleans lynching, and the
new reciprocity agreements with
Spain and Venezuela, which can
not go into effect until such proc

The most, at any rate, one of
most important affairs demand-

is the Boring sea business; wheth-
er arbitration is to be called in
and whether the United States
shall, pending a final settlement,
enter into an agreement with
Great Britain to maintain aclose

OF them all, however, the most

Harrison has to deal with these
