New Settlers Coming.

From the Garden City Herald
The Arkansas Valley Land and Irri-
CATION company, which owns vast
amount of land in Southwest Kansas,
already begins to make lis beneficial
work felt hereabouts by bringing in
families who buy, settle upon and i'm
prove these rich and fertile lands. Last
Monday their agent brought in some
half dozen Russian families to Ed
wards county and will bring six or eight
American families to Dodge City the
last of this month TO settle on Ford conn
ty land. The company hunts up parties
who wish to come west and farm, brings
them in small parcels, sells the land TO
them on credit, furnishing seed, imple
ments. and whatever may be needed to
put in and care for crop of wheat, TAX
ing each harvest one-half the grain at
market price until the land and supplies
are paid for. This is only the beginning
of work in this line, and the parties Of
homeseekers will continue coming in all
summer.

Professor E. NJ. Shelton, formerly of
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
but now in the employ of the Australian
government, and living at Brisbane, in
that country, writes Judge George s..
Green of Manhattan:
The mine owners of this country are
anxiously awaiting the passage of the free
coinage bill. Only the richest silver mines
are now in operation, but if the bill goes
through, America will be flooded with the
cheapest kind of silver, and will increase
Australian ore at least IS per cent.
The Australians will be disappointed
in this matter. Free coinage may posi-
bly, obtain in this country, some time,
but it will be restricted to the American
product.

Governor Albeit of New Jersey
doesn't make as much noise as the aver
age Democratic statesman, but he is the
first one selected as delegate to the
national convention that had the nerve
to refuse to be instructed. He don't
propose to go simply as messenger; he
says he has a higher aim, but doesn't
intimate what it is. Anyhow, Albeit
will be the hero of the convention-and
who can tell but that he will walk off
with the palm of the nomination?

A SIGNAL VICTORY.

Kansas CityGazette: GA few days ago
SenatorsGibson andWhite, of Louisiana,
called upon the postmaster general to
publicly thank his department, not only
on their own behalf, bat as well on be-
half of the people of Louisiana, for the
successful war it has waged against the
infamous lottery traffic OF that state.
The lottery company, with unlimited re-
sources behind it, fought the admins
tration through the courts, but they
were forced to acknowledge their defeat
when the supreme court Of the United
States decided that the anti-lottery postal
law was constitutional. No more signal
victory has been achieved by President
Harrison's administration than that
scored in the successful suppression of
Louisiana lottery" True, there are
some features to the antI-lottery law and
the orders of the post Office department
that are arbitrary and smack pretty
strongly of a press censorship, but it is a
fact that the authority granted i'll the
law has not been transcribed, and has
only been exercised in relation to the
lottery, and without such authority it is
doubtful whether the foul blot upon the
countrys fair escutcheon could have
been effectually removed. As it IS all
have cause for congratulation, and none
more SO than the poor, deluded patrons
of the infamous swindle.

The result Of the Kentucky conven-
ton may be regarded as draw. True,
instructions for Cleveland were defeated,
but the favorite son idea was also
knocked out. Henry Watterson was the
biggest man in the convention, as usual,
but he was not big enough to get an en-
dorsement for Mr. Carlisle. And in spite
of it all the sentiment of the party in
that state remains Overwhelmingly in
favor of the ex-president, and if nomi-
mated he would receive the party's sup
port just the same as though Mr.. Waiter
son had not predicted his defeat. There
is this that may be said of the Kentucky
convention: if it had instructed for
Cleveland, that would have practically
insured his nomination; while its failure
to instruct leaves the question where it
was, mixed with considerable doubt.

October II has been agreed upon as
Columbian Day in the public schools.
This is the day fixed for the dedication
of the Columbian exposition grounds and
buildings at Chicago; but, inasmuch as
the anniversary date of the discovery of
America does not occur until the 21st of
October it is likely that the ceremonies
mentioned for the 18th will be deferred
until the 21st of October. If this is done
there, corresponding change of date
will probably be made in the school OBJ
servance in this state.

woMEN's WORK IN THE sLUMs.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The reforms which the women of
Washington are working to secure in the
slums OF that city were needed badly, no
doubt, but the effect to secure them just
at this time also carries an instructive
moral. The New York purists who felt
called on to save the sinners os that city
appear to have thought that they could
do it in kidglove style. Judging from
some of their recent remarks, they
deemed themselves entirely too good to
engage in such uninviting work, and
they carried this notion to the extreme
of condemning men who made that
necessary effort. The Washington
women, under the leadership of Senator
Teller's wife, have gone down into the
very worst dives, wing with the Saliva
ton Army people in their cheerful sacri-
fee of personal feelings. It is too early
vet to record the results of their work,
but the indications are that they will be
unusually successful.

THESE figures are taken from a special
statement prepared by Secretary Foster
a short time ago. A later statement of
the per capita ofcirculation under the
operation of the present law in relation
to the purchase and coinage of silver is
greater than it has been at any time
during the past three decades. The
figures show that the per cent of increase
in the per capita of circulation las been
almost up to the percent of increase in

The story that Jerry Simpson does not
expect to run again is borne out by the
fact that he has written home to one of
his constituents that the present congress
has already surpassed the biIlion-dollar
congress forty million. This slap,
coupled with the charge that the Demo
Gratis of Kansas are "the poor white
trash of the south,'' will hardly warrant
him in looking to the Democrats for
support. Furthermore, Jerry has the
heavy load to carry Of opposing the open
ing Of the strip and the anti-option bill.

An Indian trader on the Chaco re-
lates that he recently saw a Navajo
squaw going over the hill from the
store, apparently carrying something
under her blanket. Investigation
showed that under one arm she had a
lamb she had stolen from the corral,
and under the other the store cat she
had likewise stolen.--Aztec Index.
The song that the Carrizo noun
tains are sacred ground, and place
of worship, is an old one, always
sung by Navajoes when anyone wants
to buy anything of them. They sang
it about the spring on the Chaco
where Captain Hines established his
trading post, and later they sang it
about another spring where Captain
Dan Dawson established like busi-
ness. In each instance they wOnld
not part with the holy ground-ex-
cept at higher price. 1t will be so
