GRAND Old SALINE.

From the September report Of the
State Board OF Agriculture we CLEAN
the following facts In regard to Sa-
line county: or winter wheat we
had lOO.l40 acres and 2,l02,940, or
more than 20 bushels per acre, and
We all know the weight was rather
above than below the standard. or
Spring wheat l40 acres and 2520
bushels. or Is bushels per acre. Oats,
Il, 4OI acres and 5OI, 40 bushels. Rye
4, ,lI0 acres and T2,243 bushels, Bar
ley II acres and i20 bushels. Broom
corn, 525 acres. Sorghum, 3026 acres.
That il crop acreage Of III $3.50
for Salina county this year and
the figures are herewith given
80 that the reader may judge
for himself whether the yield was
good. Besides all this there was
perhaps 5000 acres In corn which
could not be given in the September
rep"rt, owing to incomplete returns
This will be given next month, and
the yield of corn was good, too.
OF live stock Saline county has TO-
7l5 horses, 1891 mules and ASSES,
G,974 miIch cows, 20.303 other cattle,
LIZA sheep aud 8, ,isi swine, Csttl.
are low In price and hogs are few Ia
number, 80 that the present statistics
are perhaps low. Were prices good
aud had been good for some time
back cattle and hogs would be q
third larger in number at least. Be-
sides this train loads Of cattle have
been brought into the county since
September To feed, so that those who
love the county for Its own sake
and those interested In knowing how
we prosper ia view OF future invest
ments may form their own opinions.
The value OF all this may be OBJ
tanned easily IL any one wishes to go
to that trouble. The figures speak
for them elves, and the most we can
do Is to call attention to them. In
number of horses we are exceeded
by - counties, in cattle by 20. Then
IT must be taken into consideration
that Saline Is comparatively q small
county Had we the area Of sum.
ner, C"wley, Sedgwick, Marion or
Dickinson, Saline would be near the
head. In proportion to area and all
things else considered Saline IL Just
as good IA the best county in the
state, and ii your eastern friend
wants To invest Ia a farm there Is no
place where he can do better than
right here in the capital county OF
central Kansas. There IL something
wrong in the mans makeup who
deserts this county for Oklahoma or
anywhere else. Aud as proof Of all
this VT beg TO refer the reader to the
official report Of the Secretary Of the
State Board OF Agriculture for Sep.

the ELECTION.

Nationally, the Democrats have
won. Grover Cleveland is the
president elect, aud Benjamin Har-
risOn is overwhelmingly defeated
The Democrats will have a majority
in the next congress, and with the
executive THEN, the country will
expect something from them. For
twenty-five years under Republi-
can rule this country has grown
prosperous aud powerful. For
twenty five years the Democrats
have had nothing tn do but to find
fault and complain. Now they will
have to give the people something
besides declarations and promises
By their actions they must show u
exactly VIII at tariff reform and tariff
for revenue only means. They must
settle the silver question so that
sixty-five millions of people will be
satisfied. The great question of
capital VS.. labor is theirs To deal
with, and likewise along the whole
line will these national issues pre-
sent themselves for settlement.
They cannot be avoided. neither can
the Democratic party set back and
wait for the Republicans TO solve
great questions, and then find fault
1t is the Democratic party that must
act now, and the entire country are
the jurors. The verdict will he
