KANSAS CORN.

something For Kansas Farmers to Think
About-The Policy of tine Administration
to Furnish a Foreign Market For Corn
An interesting part. to Kansas, of the
general plan of extending the foreign
market for American products, which is
one of the distinct features OF the pres
ent administration, is the attempt which
is being made by the department Of
agriculture to induce Europe to buy our
Indian corn. Few Americans, even
understand the truth of the western
phrase, corn is king" Though agri-
cultural products form seventy-five per
cent. Of our exports, only four per cent
of the corn crop goes to foreigners, and
ninety-six per cent. is consumed In the
country where it is. produced 1t IS diff
ficult to understand TIE prejudice which
exists in Europe against corn as an artI-
cal OF food. The poor will accept 1t only
as the alternativeOfab absolute starvation
The agricultural department has pro-
eeeded on the theory that a large
part of this prejudice, like
most other preilpiiees. is due 10 EgnOr-
ance, and il has maintained an agent IN
Europe to demonstrate to the people By
actual experiment that Indian corn,
when properly prepared, is as Palatabla
and nourishing as wheat or rye Kitch-
ems have heen established at various
points. and the different preparations
of corn distribssted to the people. who
have partaken with apparent approval
More than this, the German military
authorities are considering the advisa-
bility of adopting corn as part OF the
army rations. If the effort which has
been begun is continued. its ultimate
success is almost certain and millions
of dollars will find their way annually
into the pockets of American farmers
The increase in the exports of corn dur
ing the past few months especially via
New Orleans, has been notice abia
feature of the foreign trade movement
Evidently the cereal Is gaining in Euro

English readers can form some idea
from the pages of Tom Brown; but the
extent to which it is permitted is very
different at different public schools.
Sydney Smith was unfortunate in
CHANGING upon Winchester when it was
in very neglected condition, and he
cordially hated the life of the school.
Even forty years ago writer upon the
Winchester of that day could say with
truth that fag might have been called
upon to do anything in the world ex-
cept to make beds and to black boots.
He was at the beck and call of some
twenty senior boys at the head of the
school, in whom Were vested the gener-
al government and punishment of the
junior boys. This system, with modifi-
cations, prevails in all public schools;
and though it has in particular cases
been found to work badly, experience
has, upon the whole, pronounced in its
favor. Three distinct advantages-but
there are many others-may here be

with humber duties, in which habits Of
carefulness and obedience must be cX-
ercised, is no bad commencement for a
boys life in the small world of school.
A little experience of the duties and
responsibilities of authority is no bad
preparation for boys start into the
larger world of life. And lastly, an
open system of police on the part of the
elder scholars is an admirable substi-
tute for the vexatious interference of
masters in the minor details of morals
and behavior In this way the senior
boys secure the respect of their juniors
and enjoy the confidence of their mas
ters. And this further result follows
the public-school master is as far re-
moved as possible from the conception
of an usher; he is always, or at least
with very rare exceptions, a gentleman,
and often as well connected as any in
the country. The effect of this upon
the tone and style of the school IS

THE ELoouENCE OF SILENCE.

An Alliance Member Who Sent speech
He Never Delivered to Ills Constituents
A Washington correspondent, writing
under date of April 8, says: Congress
man William Baker is busy this week
sending to his constituents in the Sixth
district of Kansas copies of speech
which he claims to have delivered In
congress on the free silver bill As a
matter of fact. Mr.. Baker took no part
in the discussion of the silver question
and has made no speech on that or any
other subject at this session of congress
Taking the cue, however, from Ben
Clover. he concluded to write a speech
and have it printed in the Congressional
Record as a part of the silver discussion
1t is printed in the Record of Sunday
morning and, curiously enough, Mr.
Baker makes the same blunder that
Brother Clover made. At the head of
the speech he has line stating that it
was delivered in the house of epresenta-
tives on Monday, March 21. OF
course he did not mean this, for
the silver bill did not come before the
house until Tuesday, March y. In
some respects, Mr.. Bakers Grafton is a
great improvement over Clover's ora
ton. For instance, Mr.. Baker has not
forgotten to insert at various places
throughout the speech the word 'ap-
plause' to show the good people of the
Sixth district that though their con-
gresham is not often heard in the halls
of congress, when he is heard, it Is a
soclalolager and no mistake. No doubt
if Mr. Baker had made the speech he
would have been literally applauded
and 4 is not out of place, therefore,
says Mr.. Baker, that he should show
his constituents where the applause
would come in if the speech really had
been delivered. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Baker has recently received private
information from his district that the
people are getting uneasy. that they
have been waiting several months for
evidSnce of some kind that their con-
gresslnan is here and doing something.
Mr.. Baker hopes that this speeciI will
quiet them for time at least, and Is
sending out great numbers"

LIGHT AHEAD.

A Solid Front BY the Old Reliable Repub-
lican Party VIII Overcome All Opposi-
ton.
There can be but two political par.
ties in this country. 1t must, there
fore, be apparent that the old parties,
as they are sometimes called, will con-
tinue in the field as the great political
forces. A third, or peoples party, so
called, will not be able to supplant
either of them. 1t is true that on all
the great questions before the country
the members of none of the parties
agree as a unit. They are governed
more or less by sectional considerations
But the republicans present more solid
front than their opponents. The party
never entered upon a campaign under
more favorable circumstances, and 1t
seems that victory is almost assured
The division in the ranks of the
democratic party on the free coin
age of silver, the conflict over
candidates and the lack of enthusiasm
in consequence of these divisions, leave
but little show for the democratic party
in the coming contest. The peoples
party cannot hope to make much of an
impression on the country at large.
The failure of its members of congress
to present any measure that commands
thoughtful attention shows the weak
ness of its demands. As in our state
legislature, so in congress. There are
no laws which its representatives can
materially improve. They may favor
free coinage, government ownership OF
railroads, telegraph lines, paper cur
rency and loans on real estate. but
all these questions have two sides. 1t
is not so easy to legislate upon them as
il is to talk about them. They are
economic questions concerning which
men in all parties will differ. Public
sentiment has not sufficiently developed
to justify the hazardous experiments
urged by comparatively few reformers
who have not. themselves, given any
thing more than a superficial glance at
them, and who have utterly failed 70
formulate any measure that draws re-
spectacle support. --.-
Viewing the political situation from
an impartial and unprecedented stand
point, there appears to be little or no
doubt but the republican party will
hold the confidence of the country and
administer its affairs for another four
years from March 4th, 1395.-EmpOria
Republican.

Greer county, Ok, on the south The
land along the rivers is good, but a
large part of the county is very broken.
The nearest railway points TO the
reservation are Hennessy, Kingfisher,
Elreno and Dover, on the Rock Island
railway for the eastern part, and Minco,
on the same road, for the southern part.
For the northern and western parts
of the reservation the nearest and
best railway points are the stations on
the Southern Kansas division of the
Santa Fe in the Cherokee strip, or the
Panhandle of Texas.
The six county seats will be declared
open at the same hour as the balance of
the reservation. Each town contains
800 acres, all of which has already been
staked off into blocks and lots. The
residence lots are fifty feet front and
the business lots twenty-five feet. In
each town there have been reserved
four squares for parks, three squares
for school grounds, one square for
court house, three lots for post Office,
three for a city hall and six for
churches All the rest of the lots are
free to the people who first get on them.
These will not be the only towns in
the reservation for there is nothing to
prevent a number of people from gath
ering at a point and starting town
there. A number of prominent men
have already arranged their plans for
starting town near Fort Reno With
the advantage of the large military post
SO near and the spur of the Choctaw
railway already built in, the town will
be one of the most favored in the terri
tory and will soon grow to prominence.

The great Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservation is the largest body of Indian

and extends from the settled part of
Oklahoma on the east to Texas on the
west, and from the Cherokee strip on
the north to Greer county and the
Kiowa and Commanche reservation on

About twenty years ago the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes were brought
down from the north, and placed on
this reservation. A number of times
since they have broken away and made
raids against the whites and other In
dians, and many people of western
Kansas fell victims to them. Even now

Old Times nt the Capital.

In recalling the lively and picturesque
incidents which the old-timers enjoyed
in Washington. one is moved almost to
tears over the commonplace nature OF
his own times. John Adams used to
bathe in the Potomac every morning at
daylight. because they lad no bathtub
in the White house and no one ever
pulled a kodak on him. President
Tavlor used to walk about the town
and stop and chat with every one lie
met. like policeman. A reception in
the White house in these days is re-
lieved of monotony only by the great
crush of guests, who trample the clothes
off each Others backs. Another presi-
dent set up in the East room six hun
dred poe nd cheese and invited the null
titude to come in and help itself, which
the multitude proceeded to do.-Au-
