The here-and-there champions of d.
B. Hill for the presidential nomination
are continually harping upon the speak
ership contest and claiming the election
Of Crisp over Mills decided Hill victory
over Cleveland, and yet in the same col
umns Cleveland is denounced for basely
deserving Mills, or for failing to give
him his personal and ardent support.
In the latter they denounce Cleveland
for not doing what they declare, in the
first assertion, he did do. But this glar-
ing Inconsistency aside, it is to Mr..
Cleveland's credit that he did not at
tempt to influence the selection of the
presiding officer of the popular branch of
the national Legislature. He would have
been more excusable, being a private
citizen, for doing so, than was d. B. Hill
who, as governor of a great state and a
member-eiect Of the coordinate branch
of congress, as well as candidate for
the presidency, exerted himself as far as
he could in the speakership contest
without regard to propriety or decency.

a Great Wheat County.

From the HUTCHINSON News.

The exhibit is grand one and shows an
acreage of twenty-five acres for every

Out in Haskell they are not satisfied
with less than thirty bushels to the acre,
and if this year proves even an average
crop season, there viii be no suffering

A Texas congressman wants the de-

the United States. If the department
shall be SO directed it Is hoped the enter
prise viii be entrusted to some one com
petent to give intelligent information
and direction in the prosecution of the
industry, and not be committed to some
one who knows practically nothing about
it and who will devote himself to the i'm
provenent and sale of some invention
for reeling silk, as has been the case
heretofore. AS for the developememt of
the silk industry in the United States,
enough has been accomplished in spite
of the encouragement O. hitherto af-
forded by the government to demon
strate its practicability not only but its
profitableness under fair conditions.
Only let the government afford such
protection to il as it does to other infant
industries-as the sugar industry for in
stance, and it will speedily grow and
develop to the extent of supplying the
home demand for many millions dollars
worth of the worms products.

Wabaunsee Colony Book.

From the Topeka Capital.
The State Historical society has re-
ceived from the family of the late Colo

book containing the minutes of the
meeting of the Connecticut Kansas col
onv, better known as 1.-The Beecher
Bible and Rife Colony" which was or
ganized in New Haven, Conn, March :.
1857, and settled in Wabaunsee in April
of the same year. Colonel Lines was
president of the colony and came with
it at the time of settlement. He died at
Wabaunsee a few months ago. This
manuscript book was brought to the
rooms of the Historical society by Har-
vey d. Rice, Esq, Of this county, who
Joined the colony in Connecticut and re-
manned member of it until the settle
ment was made at Wabaunsee, but he
made his own settlement in this county
in the fall of 1857 on the land where he
now resides, east of Topeka. The colony
WAS composed Of nearly 100 members,
each of whom was furnished with q
Sharp's rifle. The most of the money
for the purchase of the rifles was raised
by Henry Ward Beecher by contribu-
tions by the members of his church in

A CHANCE FOR ARCHITECTS.

The house of representatives has
passed a bill in relation to the construc-
ton of public buildings that should be-
come a law. Any one who has seer any
considerable number OF the federal
buildings of this country must have
been struck with their lack Of architec-
tural beauty, their i'll arrangement and
extravaganza in construction. They all
seem TO have been designed by one
hand, and a very poor hand at that.
Several years ago the late Mr.. Mullett,
supervising architect of the treasury,
under whose administration a great deal
Of building was done, precipitated upon
us the Mansard roof abomination. His
ideas were followed pretty closely by
his Successors for the reason that he
had drawn plans for hundreds OF build
ings, years before their construction was
actually begun. Mullett's successors
have been little improvement upon that
eccentric person. In the first place, the
office OF supervising architect does not
pay o~ne-fourth the salary that a com
petent man in the profession can earn
elsewhere; and, IN the second place, the
duties OF the Office are such that no man
can perform them satisfactorily.
Let us suppose, for instance, we shall
have a public building at Helena next
year, OF which there is every possibility.
Under the present law all the plans
must be furnished by the government
architect. The Helena bill, and a suore
or more of others, will come to him at
the same time. lie has no alternative
but to turn the plans over to a clerk or
draughtsman for preparation. The bill
we refer to would permit local archi-
tects to submit designs for u building
and leave to the supervising architect
Of the treasury merely the supervision
Of construction. The advantage Of such
a change is too obvious to need elabora-
ton. The committee on public build
lngs and grounds say in their report
that in foreign countries the government
buildings in artistic design, il not in
economy Of construction, surpass those
by municipal or private enterprise,
while in this country the reverse is the
rule, and superiority OF architectural
design and economy of construction are
represented in state, municipal and pri-
yate buildings. r 1t has been found that
while there has been a great advance in
the character OF municipal and private
buildings. the typical government
building has fallen far behind in ever,
respect. The time has gone by wher
the supervising architect of the govern
ment, even il he is competent. is able te

WHY not an art school in Helenap
Such is the question propounded by Mr.,
}. A. Macknight, in a communication
in another column. AS Mr.. MacKnjpht
suggests, Il small beginning could be
made with Il little money and the instl-
tuition probably made self-supporting in
a year or two. Other cities no laruer
than Helena successfully MAINTAIN such
schools and they do much good in en-
couraging talent and a love for the
beautiful. Here is u chance for some of
our wealthy citizens to do a good work.

OUR CERTAIN FUTURE.

Great cities are located by nature and
not by man. Boston, New York, Phila'
delphia and Baltimore we're created by
their harbors, and New York gained the
ascandancy amongst them because the
Hudson river had cut through the
mountains and gave her the only water
grade between the great lakes and the
ocean. Chicago had the most available
harbor at the head of Lake Michigan
and an the northwestern railroads had
to either go there or bridge the lake. A
close examination of the map of Mon
tana by one familiar with the valleys
and mountain passes is ample explana-
tion why Helena has taken the lead in
the inter mountain region of the north
Chance gulch located the site where it
is, had there been nc placer gold in this
particular gulch the metropolis of
Montana would in any event have been
st some point in the Prickly Pear val
ley. In this valley the water grades
concentrate. The Missouri and its
three sources give communication
south, east and north. The Boulder
and other streams open up the south.
The Yellowstone and Musselshell invite
railroads from. the east, while in conven-
lent proximity on the west and north
are the three mountain passes known as
the Mullen, Priests and the Cadotte,
with streams on the opposite side of the
main divide reaching to the fertile val
leys of the Flathead and Deer Lodge.
Without disputing the supremacy of
Butte as a single mining district, Hell
n is the center of the greatest mining
district in the world. North, south,
east and west are veins of gold, silver,
lead and copper. In sight of its streets
are vast stores of every kind of useful
building stone. The neighboring val
leys, when cultivated, will support a
population, agriculturally employed, of
many thousands. When contemplating
the possibilities of the future with such
inviting combinations of resources, cou
pied with the most enjoyable and
healthiest climate on this continent, no
far-seeine person can fail to be i'm
pressed with the certain results. The
surplus Of the sixty millions of people
to tho east of us and the crowded out
immigrants from Europe are marching
this way and many must abide with us.

The Springfield Republican says:
"The suggestion that a giant-sized
statue of Thomas Jefferson be placed
on one of the bluffs overlooking the
Mississippi river at st. Louis, is said to
be received with favor by senators and
congressman. The idea underlying the
suggestion is, of course, to commence
rate Jetferson's Louisiana purchase,
which, because of it's momeutous results
to the map Of the western world, NAV
be justly regarded as the most macni-
cent stroke of simple statecraft not only
OF JetfersCn's career but also of his
time The proper place for such a
monument would be where the Jetfor-
son, Madison and Gallatin unite to form
the Missouri. No filter place could be
found than here in the heart of the
great empire Jefferson gave to the
United States, at the source of the
mlghtlest river on The continent.

THERE is some wonder as to WHY
President Harrison ignored law partner
Miller in filling the vacancy on the SUI
prone bench. Mr.. Shiras, the PITTS
burg lawyer who got the place, is so
unknown to fame that nobody can ac-
count for his selection. One enterpris-
ing Chicago newspaper thinks it has
solved the mystery by discovering that
Mr.. Shlras' grandfather was a Presby-
terrain. More likely he was appointed
because Chris Magee wanted to give
Quay another slap. In a word, it was
politics and not theology that settled it.
