WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspc ndent
WASHINGTON, June, 20, '92

frOln OuI uidr
WASHINGTON, June, 20, '92
Republican enthusiasm is plen-
tiful around Washington to-day
The commiliee appointed by the
National convention, headed by
Gov. Mckinley, called at the
White House at noon for the pur-
pose of officially notifying the
President of his nomination for
the Presidency. The President,
surrounded By the members
of his Cabinet and other promi-
nent Republicans received the
committee in the East room of the
White House. Gov. Mckinley
made the notification speech,
which was model address of its
kind, not too loug. not too short,
not too gushing, not too stiiE. In
short, it WAS just the right speech
for he occasion, and earned for
theGovernor the applause and con-
gratulations of all who were for
tunste enough to have heard 1t.
The Presidents reply was, like
all the rest OF his speeches, in
choice language and perfect good
taste, he INDUCED in no Dragging
he is incapable of that sort of
thing,-but there Was g ring, in
his voice and look in his eye
which left his hearers in no doubt
as to his feelings about Ae result
of the election. He is confident
of winning, but those who talk
with him soon find out that he
fully realizes the obstacles to
be overcome, and does not ex-
pect to win without q hard fight,
and the aid of every Republican;
and the knowledge that he has
conscientiously performed his du-
ty and given the country an ad-
ministration that every patriotic
hiAeiiSaA 10 )iouo VI, llhheo HIN
confident that no Republican will
withhold his aid or vote.
Washington has already held
number Of ratification meetings
since the nominations were made,
several by the State Republican
Association and one by tie
knights of Reciprocity, and to-
night there is to be another one,
the principal speakers being Gov.
Mckinley and other prominent
members of the notification com.
mittee. When it is remembered
that the weather has been oppres-
sively hot here ever since the
Minneapolis convention was held
this is remarkable showing, and
! it gives the lie to democratic state
ments that Republicans are indif-
ferent to Harrison and Reid.
The presence Of Hon. Chauncy
NJ. Dewpew in Washington as the
guest of Secretary Elkins has re-
vived and given strength to the

--Elsewhere we publish a
clipping from the Trenton Trib-
une in regard to letting the con-
tract for printing the Normal
Catalogues. 1tI will be seen that
$50 might have been saved to the
school, which is supported by the
state. The amount is not great,
but the principle INVOLVED
amounts to great deal. This Is
not the first time that the atten-
ton of the public has been called
to similar proceedings in conduct
ing the business affairs of the
| KirksYille Normal. The obiec OF
the Normal schools is to train men
and women to 60 out and prepare
the youth of the country to dis
charge the duties of the highest
citizenship, and to carry ont the
high obj .ct and aim of the Nor
NAL school the state has, year after
year, been generous in approprla-
tions of the public fund for the
maintenance of these worthy insti-
tutions. In view of these thing 8
| it is little short of crime to need
lessly squsnder one cent that
could be saved.
| The Republican county
committee has called a delegate
convention to nominate candidates
for the various county Offices.
This seemed to be the wish of the
people. At this season of the
year, when farmers are busy, the
ldelega.e convention is without
doubt the most convenient. 1t
Il also saves the farmers the annoy
ance of candidates before the cam
paign proper is opened, Another
reason for the desire of the peo-
pie to nominate by delegate con-
vention, is the belief that they can
come nearer getting what they
want thar they have been getting
when the nominating was left TO q
: primary election. La this, how
ever they are liable to be seriously
mistaken, In the township con,
ventions the people must look vel
, to the men selected as delegates
to the county convention, or they
may make more'grievous blunder
and come farther short of obtain.

attend the launching OF the big

is the vessel about the plans of
which there was such controversy
early in the present administration.
It was contended by some naval
officials that the plans were rad

would never float if it were built
according to those plans. There
were some changes made ID them
under direction of committee of
naval officers, and she is now
probably all right.

MIR. Cramer's election to
Congress is conceded. He makes
friends wherever he goes, and
many Democrats, who expect to
have Hatch again foisted upon
them, declare that they will vote
for Cramer.
--Filley was not elected nat
ional committeeman from Missou-
ri; but he has the satisfaction of
knowing that not single man
who voted against him, or news
paper that used its influence
against him, has a clean, po-
litical record.
The Farmers Alliance con-
vention, or the convention of the
Industrial Labor Union, which
convened at Sedalia Tuesday,
nominated l.. L.Leonard, of Saline
county, for governor. The con-
yention denounced both the old
parties and endorsed the demands
of the st Louis convention.
The County Court has ap-
pointed an agent to select a suita-
BILE sight on which to erect ten
thousand dollar court house. The
count seems to think that such q
etep is not only economical, but
also shrewd business stroke of
considerable dimensions. In fact
1t is neither. While it is the duty
OF the Court to zealously guard
the interests of the county, it is
not the duty of the Court to carry
splendid county back to pioneer
days when courts were held, and
county records were kept in log
cabins. The people of the coun-
ty do not want an extravagsnt ex-
penditure of money in building q
court house, but they do want a
good, plain, substantial edifice
that will meet the wants of the
county for the next fifty years.
Such g building they want and
gre willing to pay for. The build
ing proposed will delay the erec-
ton of suitable court house for
at least ten years. end at the end
of that tune, when the old build
ing has become inadequate to the
demands made upon 1t, the county
will have a piece of property on
hand that will be difficult to dis
pose of at any price.

When the warm days come in the
spring the cattle will be better for run
in the yard every day, OF even twice a
day, of an hour or two at time. The
practice of feeding rough fodder out Of
doors at sucL times is not recommended,
for although they might eat there what
they would not relish as well in the
barn, it is doubtful if it does them much
good. In the spring they should have
all they will eat, and that should be of
the best! But if any think differently
and desire to give a foddering in the
yard it will pay TO have racks in which
to put it, 10 prevent it from being tram
pied into the dirt. If it is only tit to go
into the manure, put it there and do not
ask the cows 10 eat it. If il has any
value as food do not let them waste it.
One of the objections 10 yard feeding is
that the master animals are always driv-
ing the others about, punching them
with their horns or with their heads if
they have been dehorned, and the strong
est ones get the most and the best of the
feed, while the underlings go without
and grow poorer all the time.-Ameri-

A boy in a Wichita, Kansas, school

lowing essay on "pants:" pants are
made for men and not men for pants.
Women are made for men and not
pants. When man pants for woman,
or woman pants for man, they are a
pair of pants. Such pants don't last.
Pants are like molasses, thinner in hot
weather, and thicker in cold. The man
in the moon changes his pants during
an eclipse. Men are often mistaken in
pants. Such mistakes make breeches OF
promise. There bias been much discus
sion as to whether pants is singular or
plural. Seems to us when men wear
pants they are plural and when they
don't wear any it is singular. Men get
on tear in their pants and it is all
right; but when the pants get on a tear
