A Long Dinner.

George ". asked DR.. Gregory wha;
was the longest sederunt after dinner
that he had ever heard of on credible
authority. The doctor answered.: The
longest know of was at the house of
a learned Scottish judge, Lord Newton
a gentleman called at his house, in
York place, Edinburgh, at n late hour.
and was informed that his lordship was
at dinner. Next day the same gentle
man called at an early hour, and, being
again informed that the judge was al

Eels as Currency.

sold pipe TO neighbor for twenty
yards of eel. Another farmer bought
it the same night for twenty-five yards,
and still another got it later on
for thirty. The scores were settled
by recourse TO the near Lake
Sminge, where eels abound, and all
parties wero paid off TO their satisfac-
ton. The teachers share was forty

the requisite twenty yards. In Jut-
land, where eels thus pass as currency,

are reckoned to the pipe.

A Bounty on Ru~.

There is bounty on June bugs in
sweden and Norway, where the trees
suffer greatly from the pests. In a sin
gle swedish province twelve thousand
kroner were paid for, it is estimated
something like one hundred and ten
inililons of bugs this spring. MANY
persons make soup of the insects and
eat them, thus making their crawling

But None of Them Poisonous with the
Exception of Nicotine.
Cirarette-smolers and opponents OF
the noxlous little rolls aS well viii bc in
terestcd in some researches recently
made by State Chemist Payne % Geor-
pia who has discovered that cigarettes
are pure tobacco and paper, and nothing
else. The scene when the chemist met
a temperance committee of the icSisla-
ture the other day Is thus reported II
the Atlanta Constitution:
The chemist stated that cigarettes
were composed of tobacco wrapped AZ
rice paper, and there was no poison an
them with the exception of nicotine.
Then the gathering looked surprised,
and members of the committee began
firing cress-questiens. They were anx-
ious to prove all about cigarettes, and
Dr. Payne told them clearly and in
manner that plainly showed he had
done his work well.
Briefly the esdoctor explained what he
had done He had taken cigarettes of
nearly every brand and carefully
analysed them.
The contents, without the papers, of
eighty cigarettes were mixed In this
mixture was not trace of poison. not

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1891-05-07

HOiSingtOn boasts of her base ball
timber. Claflin should organize club
and take some of the conceit out of our
fair eighbor.-Banner.
If the boys would get down to busi-
ness and rustic" for it they would find
no time for idling. Great Bend has
had some experience in supporting this
class in the past and some of her citi-
Zens will not be caught SO neatly again.
Do something that smackS of an honest
living boys, and you will do credit for
yourselves and your country.-Register
FROM the Registers comment the
Inference is gathered that the Register
editor does not have a very exalted
opinion of the young uen in and about
Claflin. What his opinion is does not
amount to much If he keeps it to HIM
self, but when he inSinuates that the
boys at Clafiin or anywhere else, who
take pleasure III ball playing, are a
class who do nothiNg ''for an honest
living" and are not ''cTedit" to their
town and county, he insults some OF
the best young men of Barton county
and should be reprimanded. Because
he is so peculiarly constructed that he
sees no pleasure in manly sports is no
reason why others who do enjoy
such sports should not be free from his
unjust criticism.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1891-05-07

Botkin will not be impeached and
the state will be compelled to pay
$50, 900 or more to permit d few persons
to malIciousIy vent their spite, while
these same reformers ID were too pen
urious to make an appropriation for d
Worlds Fair.-Register.
JUST as we expected, the Register,
like all the rest of the old ring organs
of the state, announces beforehand
that ''Botkin will not be impeach-
ed" The announcement only confirms
a thinking public in the belief that the
republican senate has decided that, NO
matter what the evidence may be, ,Botkin
will be set free to continue the practice
of his debauchery, and all because the
republican senate thinks to make polit-
cal capital against the alliance people
of the state. Common decency would
suggest that a man who poses as the
great moral leader of this county ought
to desire a thorough investigation of
the serious charges made against Bot
kin; but instead. Caraway favors a
quashing of the whole business fer the
sake of his dearly beloved but degen-
crate party.

Life Of General Sherman.

We have received copy of this eX-
cellent work from Hubbard Bros,
Philadelphia. 1t is prepared by Willis
Fletcher johnson, assisted by Major
General o. o. Howard.
Tue public will greet with much in
terest this complete biography of the
last, of the great Union generals.
Sherman's autobiography, Published
years ago, was only a partial record of
his career, and until the appearance of
the present volume, full history of the
famous soldier was lacking. In this
work, however, every important scene
in his eventful life is portrayed with
graphic power: due prominence is given
to his social aud personal traits in times
of peace; there is compilation of many
of his best letters, etc; and at closing
much of interest is added in the trib-
utes and eulogies pronounced about
him since his death, and the estimates
of his military genius and his personal
character made by those who knew
him best. Mr.. johnson has done his
work as historian well. giving a mar
rative that is at once coherent, COM
plete, facinating in interest, and evil
IDENTIFY imbued with earnest admiration
for his subject. General Howard, who
was one Of Sherman closest COM
rades, has reviewed the entire work,
insuring its absolute accuracy in mat
ters of military detail, and has written
an introduction. The volume is pro-
fusely snd elegantly illustrated with
admirably executed portraits, wal
scenes, etc, and is not only an excel
lent specimen of the bookmaker's art,
but is unquestionabiy the best biog-
raphy of one of the greatest generals of
modern times.

that I have put into words anything not
already thought out by all thoughtful,
practical men. who have carefully
studied the agricultural needs of our
state from the standpoint of western
interests. The heighth of my modest
ambition will tie realized, if those be-
ginning the study of our interests, may
find in it some little assistance towards
a correct conclusion as to what are
really our economic needs. That other
matters need attention and revision in
our interests, goes without saying. But
the greatest enemy to western farm in
terests to-day is protection.

JOE B. FUGATE, one of the first DEM
ocratic editors in Barton county. who
published the Arkansas Valley Demo
crat here in the seventies, has returned
to Newton from Oklahoma and bought
the Newton Journal, which will here
after appear as straight and uncom-
promising democratic publication Joe
has many admirers in Barton county
who wish him unbounded success.

mailer in this Office? Why have not
these republican editors had something
to say about the discharge of two sol
diers' widows from the Office OF the sec
retary of state, and the appointment of
Charley Holiday commissioner to the
Worlds Fair. over soldier like J. F.
Thompson? The answer is plain. Il
is because their protestation of regard
for the soldiers is like that of the gov
ernor and his henchmen-madeO only to
catch the votes of the soldiers
The old soldier who wrote the above
plain statement of facts is not alone in
his denunciation of political. methods
adopted by some of his brothers. Ex-
Department Commander Collins, in his
report at the Hutchinson meeting dis
closed some of the schemes of the
bosses. In his report he says, con-
cerning 1.-The G. A. r. in politics.
''This has given me considerable
trouble and annoyance during my ad-
ministration. Several posts wholly
forgetting or willfully disregarding the
rules and regulations in this regard
have passed resolutions indorsing can
didates for political Offices. have no
doubt but the comrades generally acted
thoughtlessly in the matter, but the
effect on the order is the same. By
allowing themselves TO be led ON by
designing men who seek to use the
order for personal and political gain,
they place themselves in false posi-
tiOn and at the sane time bring dis
credit upon the Grand Army. This is
matter vital to our future existence
and we'll being as an order. Like the
germ Of some fatal disease, il not kept
down it will very soon cause the
destruction of our institution"
His report scored many of the ''old
gang" Of republican wire workers, and
particularly Bill Buchan the chairman
of the republican state central COM
mittee, whom Commander Collins
stated 'Was on the grounds for politi-
cal purposes only" 1t would seem,
however, that the ''old crowd still
held the ''pull," for when it came to
adopting the report Of the ex-com-
mander his criticisms were disregarded
and that part which was most severe
on the republican manipulators was ex-
plunged from the records. Intense
feeling was manifested by many of the
best men in the order who desire to see
it kept free from political manipula-
ton.
We have deep respect for the old SOL
dier and wish him well. Our liking
for him is based upon the good he did
for our country, and for his good and
the good of those who come after him,
we do not want to see his fratern al
organization used as tool by the class
of men who make politics profession
and chicanery a business.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. c., May 4, 1891.
1t is seldom indeed, that burst of
head-swelling and empyrean-soaring
rhetoric turns out to be SO costly as EX-
Senator Blair's anti-Chinese diatribe in
the senate has been. Now he is laid
upon the shelf. Not even the con-
sciousness is his of having fallen, like
Warner Miller, outside the breasJworks.
He has simply laid back his long ears
and kicked his own head off.
Secretary Foster, after a conference
with other treasury officials, has decided
to make no change this month in the
public debt statement to be issued to-
day. This decision also applies to the
asset and liability statement issued by
the United States treasurer, so that
this statement will also appear in its
usual form. Secretary Foster has de-
cided to hold the whole financial ques-
tion in abeyance until the return of
President Harrison from his western
trip.
When Mr.. Blair Investigated China
town in San Francisco, it was of course,
in quest of raw material for his orator
ical output in the senate. 1t seemed
perfectly safe to denounce the Chinese,
and even Blair probably never expert
enced happier responsibility than
when he was heaping a5jectives upon
the Chinese in San Francisco. He did
not expect them to like it, but it did not
occur to him that he might ever come
to care whether they liked it or not. 1t
is not to be expected that this bitter ex-
perience will impress upon Blair the
usefulness Of retisence. If anything
could do that, he would no longer be
Blair. It may, however, induce in him
some salutary reflections.
NM
The composition of the next house
will be of character to require on the
part Of it's presiding officer abilities of
the very highest order. It is the best
interest Of the democratic party that
the man best equipped for the place
shall be put in the speakers chair, and
it is the duty of democratic members to
do this. The next speaker should be a
man of ample knowledge, with a ready
command of all his resources; of a high
and honorable courageOusness tempered
with wise and discreet considerate-
ness, of large parliamentary knowledge
and experience and of a judicial mind
and temper; of honest purpose and Of
manifest fairness; of perfect self
mand and almost illimitable patience
yet prompt in decision and adamant in
resolution. The democratic majority in
the next house contains distinguished
parlimentarians, among whom are the
several candidates for the .speakersEip
that have been announced. Its busi-
ness is to choose from them all man
who has the qualities of mind and tenn
per which have been specified. The
contest will have this point singly in
view, and anything like factional fight
will be wholly out of place.
