GAMBLING AT HOME.

The chief of police of Chicago, Mr.
McClaughry, delivered a notable address
to an audience of working people in that
city on Sunday evening, the 1st inst, o.
the relation of crime to the working
classes. He said the most fruitful causes
of crime are criminal association, idle
ness, intemperance and gam ling, but
the greatest of these was gambling. In
the gamblers school people are taught
to take property of others without re-
turning an equivalent; thus dishonesty
is bred-and of all sorts of gambling that
which is conducted at home and in the
club is the worst. He further says that
parents who play cards with their boys
in their homes make fatal mistake. Ii
he could name all the unfortunates who
learned to play cards at home it would
he ghastly catalogue. The gambling
habit is growing alarmingly; the recent
of certain forms Of parlor
gambling has greatly stimulated the
craze. To become familiar with the
devils tools is dangerous thing to do,
or to teach others 20 do.

tie above the peon of Mexico and closely
resembling that of the Irish farmers Not
only must he ask permission to come here
and make productive the lands or the
Chickasaw, paying to the government a
tribute for their privilege, but he be-
comes, under the revised permit law, a
mere chattel of his landlord, with no will
or option of his own, bound to remain Ia
the employ of that landlord under penalty
of expulsion from the nation.
The experience of the government with
the Modoc Indians proves conclnsiyely
that if the Indian is given his land In
severalty and compelled to work he will
become a good citizen. When the tribe
surrendered number Of years ago, they
were removed from Oregon to small
reserve near Baxter Springs en- the north
ern line of the Indian Territory. There
was only about land enough to comforts
bly, support them, ard they were paid no
annuiEies nor government aid OF any sort
beyond their first start outfit. An agent
WAS placed with them as a director In their
efforts at seIf-sustenance, and il was made
plain to them that they must take care of
themselves; they have done so, and now
there are no quieter, more industrious or
better fixed people than this remnant OF
the band which made that desperate fight
under Captain Jack in the lava beds. F"

THE RECENT DRoUTH.

From the Kansas City star.
The widespread drouth in what are
known as the winter wheat states, which
was ended by the rains of the past few
days, was one of the most remarkable
that has ever been known, and yet 1t at
tracted surprisingly little attention.
There was almost no complaint OF dry
weather among the farmers. THIS is un-
precedented In many sections of the
United States no rain had fallen for six
weeks previous to Sunday. The only
part OF the country receiving average
rainfall in October was the western two
thirds of Kansas, the southeast corner of
Nebraska and a limited area in the far
northwest In the greater part of the
immense wheat area from Kansas east,
the deficiency during October was from
two to three inches; it was greater than
that in September.
The effect of this long continued dry
weather upon the prospects for next
years winter wheat crop Is largely prob
lematicaL 1t has undoubtedly restricted
the area. Possibly the acreage sown
throughout the country Is as large as last
year. Had seasonable weather prevailed
it would have been very greatly in
creased. The best crop authorities
agree that the drouth has seriously
impaired the prospects in all states ex-
cept Kansas. Ohio state authorities es-
innate the damage in that state at 26
per cent. In Indiana it is placed at SO
per cent.
How much of this loss can be regained
no one can estimate. The winter wheat
plant has great recuperative power, and
with favorable weather throughout the
year the loss in condition may be recov-
cred. At the present time, however,
there is no room to question that the
prospect for the winter wheat crop of
1892 is far below the average.
To this general condition among the
states Kansas is a single exception. In
all but a comparatively narrow belt in
the eastern end of the state the wheat
in Kansas has gotten a fine start, the
rainfall has b en- ample, and the outlook
is very promising. The planting was re-
stricted at seeding time, but there Is lit
tie doubt that the area is as great as the
big acreage harvested this year. Kan
sas carried the banner in the wheat har-
vest of 1891. She has got the lead in the
start for next years crop. She is pretty
certain to continue to be the leading
wheat state in the Union.

DIAMONDS AND LEGISLATION.

The New York Herald devotes a
chapter to diamonds, and gives the opin-
ion of large dealer in those precious
stones that the women of America own
and wear S9O0,000,0 900 worth of
diamonds. Some of the largest owners
of the glittering gems are singled out
for special mention. Mrs w. X. Van
derbilt owns So, 100000 worth of them,
and the Astor family jewels are not less
valuable. The women may be counted
by the score in New York whose wealth
in diamonds exceed 100000. The dis
play at fashionable gathering of these
princes of the new world is not equaled
at any gathering of royalty in the Euro
pean capitals.
The possession of diamonds is indica-
tive of good taste. They are safe invest
ments. for they are as saleable as gold.
But-they excite discomfort There are
probably thousands of people in New
York who think nothing of the great
wealth of the Astors and the Wander
bits, though they know that these men
control hundreds of millions. But when
they read of the diamonds worn by the
wives of the many-millionaires, repre-
senting so many millrons, discomfort
and defiance are brought up. 1t is the
vain parade of wealth, not its actual
existence and potency, that men com
plain of.
This talk about plutocracy, although
idle and often splenetic, is not altogether
senseless. There is a plutocracy. Itnot
only exists, but it is growing in numbers
and in power. 1t creates antagonism
and arouses resentments. This feeling
of antagonism and resentment expresses
itself in legislation-such as tie alien
land law. The many who are not rich
have votes, and with these votes thev
strike at the few who are rich. And as
diamonds are the most visible and. to the
the most offensive evidence
of this wealth, we may say that dla-
monds exercise a disastrous effect upon
the legislation of the country-some-
times for the wealth of the country, but
often against it.

One Of Lightning. Freaks.

was an apprentice on ship, and in go
ing up the River Hooghly we collided with
another vessel and damaged our side,
which necessitated our going into the gray
ing dock at Calcutta for repairs. One
afternoon, while two of the workmen were
sitting on n stage er the side, violent
thunderstorm burst over us, with light
ming such as can only be seen in the trop-
les.
Suddenly there was binding fash, and
one Of the men on the stage gave yell aud
dropped off into the dock. The other man,
however, sat bolt upright on the stage,
with his hammer in his hand. He was
very quiet, and no wonder, for be was
dead-struck by lightning. The man who
was knocked OF had his arm broken, but
that was by the fall. He was otherwise
quite uninjured, though the two men were
not more than foot apart on the stage.
The dead man was lowered 20 the dock

SUGAR NOTES.
From ths Meaiciae Loage Inae1.

From the Medicine Lodge Index
The sugar mill stopped receiving cane
last Saturday and by noon on Sunday
all the cane on hand had been cut. No
more cane will be cut this season. The
mill made about seventy days run this
season. At this writing the machinery
in the null is being cleaned up. Only
the strike pan and centrifugals are run
ming. and they will probably have three
or four weeks run yet
Yesterday morning there were two
car loads of sugar and hand and forty
five wagons of syrup. 1t is thought that
each wagon will turn out 700 pounds of
first sugar. This would be g, 800
pounds. There are 10000 pounds on
hand and there has been shipped 432. 600
pounds. These figures will give $50. 600
pounds as the output of first sugar this
year There will be a large amount of
second sugar, probably 100000 pounds.
The government words have shut
down for good. A lot of seconds" was
made from the Fort Scott syrup last
week and then the machinery was clean
ed up and the doors closed. Nothing
more will be done there this season.

Arkansas City Dispatch: at seems
that the Wichita EAGLE is one Of those
papers that tell the truth once or twice a
year, just to shake up the dry bones in
the party and let the bosses know that
such a thing as truth-telling Is possible
with Republican papers. Last winter
the EAGLE argued that all kinds of busi-
ness was suffering terribly by the money
famine and gave the figures to prove it.
Now it says everything is lovely and
everybody IS prosperous, but gives no

MORE ZEAL THAN DISCRETION.

At meeting of minister held in Chi
cago few days ago Rev. j. d. Leek ex-
pressed the wish to become possessed of
81, 900, 900 which he said he would Eek
pend in establishing.a great daily news
paper that would circulate over the
earth. A paper that would fight Rom
anism and that would uphold prohibi-
ton at all times and lose no opportunity
to assail the enemies of religion" Ii
Rev. Leeb had the desired amount he
wouldn't do anything of the kind. Not
one million nor ten million of money
will establish a great newspaper to cir
late even in a single community on the
lines mapped out by the reverend gentle
man. His notion of a great newspaper
he defines as "a paper that would fight
Romanism" and uphold prohibition at
all times" and close no opportunity to
assail the enemies of religion" Here is
organ wherewith to assail the largest
and oldest branch of the Christian
church. Here is a fighting parson who
wants to circulate prohibition news
paper ''all over the earth," when as even
he must know, that blessed hobby is al
most unheard of outside of few states
in the American Union. Fie, fie! Brother
Leek. Come up out of the deep pit of
bigotry and get glimpse of Gods great
sky. Broaden your horizon; SO shall
your heart expand and the wrinkles in
your liver be smoothed away.
