A WINTERS EVE.

lis winter, and the trees are bare;
The grass is dead. and everywhere
The frost has bitten, sharp and bold.
While blustry blows the wind, and cold.
The clouds hang leaden in the sky,
And gusts of snow come scudding by:
The chittering snowbirds light and fit,
Their food 10 gather bit by bit,
The traveller hastens on his way;
While children stop indoors to play,
Except those lads whose shouts respond
To others on the frozen pond.
Amid the broken, flying rift
Of clouds, they for moment lift,
And 10. the sun looks On the world,
Ere 1t be into darkness hurled.
Then all is hushed, while cold and gray,
Night comes across the eastern way,
To spread her mantle far and wide
Ger all tue land at eventide.

KING CORN,
From the Emporia Republican.
Populate

From the Emporia Republican.
Kansas great crop is corn. She pro-
duces abundant wheat and other grains
but corn is the leader. If the price of
this staple would always keep up, Kan
sas farmers would never suffer for the
good things of life. Debts would disap-
pear and bank accounts swell. The road
to prosperity would be direct and sure.
But unfortunately prices shrink, and
they are unusually least in yearswhen the
crop Is greatest.
The farmers of the corn-producing
states, however. need have no fears of a
fiat market again in the near future.
Last years wheat crop was short of the
worlds demands. There Is no probability
that the coming wheat crop Will supply
the need this year. In Kansas, Missouri.
Iowa and Nebraska the acreage OF fall
wheat is considerably below that of last
year. Russia will hardly become
Sc f-sustaining. even if her present
crop should come up TO the
average which Is altogether unlikely.
The reserves of all other foreign coun-
tries are being consumed Everything
points to 4 shortage IN the worlds sup
ply OF breatlstuffs for 1852. more serious
than has occurred in many years before.
The inevitable result viii be an increase
il the consumption of Indian corn, and
consequently more active market and
better price.
Ii Kansas should have ono OF her big
corn crops this vear-sIlcil. for instance.
rs she did in 1SS9-our farmers will
begin To enjoy a prosperity that will
drive all thoughts of government loans
and sub-ucasurieS ont Of their heads.
Europe viii be bidding for the contents
of the Kansas cribs, and every train that
rolls cut OF the state VIII bear our pro-
ducts 10 golden market Corn VIII
again ascend the throne and SAL as king.

That Statue of Plumb.

From the Kansas City Times.
The Wichita EAGLE calls attention to
that hall set apart by congress for statues
of eminent men, where are two inches
for each state. Considering the entire
life of Plumb, the various occupations
in which he was successful, the length
of service and the general respect in
which he was held, the EAGLE suggests
that his statue be placed there. 1t is the
privilege of the legislature to confer this
distinction, but, as the EAGLE states,
the demand should originate with the
people and they should instruct the leg
islature if they desire action.

Death has so thinned the ranks of the
Sacred College of Cardinals at Rome
that its membership at present is but
fifty-six, leaving fourteen Cardinalates
to be filled. This, however, is not an
unusual number of vacancies, and as a
matter of fact the Pontiff's "Ecclesias-
teal Senate" as the College of Cardi-
mails has been called, is rarely entirely
filled. In making appointments the gen.
eral purpose is to have all nations rep
resented as far as possible: SO that it
may be some years before the United
States, with but single Cardinal-the
same as Belgium-shall have a represen-
tation in proportion TO their Catholic

As between DR.. Parkhurst of New
York and DR.. Kelley of Illinois the
liquor traffic is in fair way of extermina-
ton. The former cures the distilIer of
the thirst (desire) for making liquor, aud
the latter cures the consumer of the
thirst for drinking 1t. One employs
spiritual aud the other physical means to
accomplish their ends. 1t is not stretch
of orthodoxy to say that both might be
effected through the first, or spiritual
agency, though it will be said by some,
no doubt, that the spiritual has to do
with the moral nature, while the appe-
tite is wholly of the physical. That is
true, but the moral is supposed to be SUI
perior to the physical; if not Christianity
is but rope of sand.

The Capital declares the EAGLES sug-
gestion that Topeka does not need a

that way to the Capital, but the EAGLE
was honest. 1t might be that even a
residence of a couple of years in Topeka
would make even the editor of the
EAGLE fit subject for the proposed
institute, but we are inclined to be
charitable and construe the words of
our esteemed contemporary as a pleas
ant jest at its own expense.

One of the objects Speaker Crisp had
in placing Representative Springer at
the head of the ways and means com.
mittee Of the house was, evidently, to
make him the party leader in that body;
but schemes do not always pan out as
they are planned. Through the untimely
illness of the speaker, or something else,
Springer has not been so recognized.

man on the majority side of the house,

c. A. White, the composer of many

c. A. White ever existed. America is a

There are some great, big chunks of
truth in this, from the Leavenworth

They forget that the men who make the
trouble are not Kansas products. Every
one of them is from some other state,
probably. Most of them, perhaps. from
the eastern states. These troubles are
therefore not samples of Kansas civiliza-

Hunts Git Thar Ei' tea has done more
to beat back the tide Of intemperance than
any other one agency that has ever been en-
pOyed. The point is just here. A man
will go to ''sale" and get a 5 Id. chest of
poor ordinary tea and before he gets 1t used
up he will become so disguised with him
self and everyone else that he loses all self
respect and manhood and don't care whether
he lives or dies, and he goes, fills up with

hand will bring out all that is high and

in the last few days which leads him to be-
lieve that the celebrated "whiskey cure" as
practiced by DIR. Kelley consists solely In
giving the patients small doses Of that ''Git
Thar Elf tea every day for two or three
weeks. Hunt is collecting evidence and IL
he finds the facts warrant he will make il

Ex-senator Edmunds. in the February
Forum says: 1t is quite obvious that the
device of gerrynander and the disregard of
the requirement OF equal population in rep
rcsentation are being more and more resort
ed TO both i'm respect of congressional repre-
sentaton and in the election of state legisla-
lures. And ii is equally obvious to those
who have studied the history Of civil institu-
tons, that such practices against really dem
ocratic and republican government will, if
they are to continue and to grow inevitably
result,-fiIst: in the destruction of the liber
ties aud immunities of the great body of
people, and secondly, in CONFUSION
wherein the people will, at whatever cost.
and by whatever means may seem most eff
fectual. repossess themselves Of the rights
out of which they have been thus defraud-
ed. TO think otherwise implies want of
faith in the possibility of republican govern
mcnt founded upon justice and equal rights.

petence of congress to provide for really
