It is trite old saying that ''it's an i'll
wind that blows no one good" After
applying the aphorism to the late flooded
condition of large sections east and north
and the happy valley of the Great
Arkansas in contrast, and it is certain
that the latter will be the beneficiary of
the formers disasters. Every day some
citizen of this city OF vicinity receives
letters from friends in the inundated
districts notifying them of their deter
mination to pull out of the water and
mud and gloom and move to Kansas,
the land Of sunshine and plenty. Letters
from central Illinois state that the farm
ers of that section are just beginning to
pillow for corn. Here they have been
blowing corn for ten days, and in three
weeks from now will begin to harvest
the wheat crop The valley country in
Kansas is simply incompatible.

And a more consummate failure as a

due to the speakers incompetency.

Various Ways OF Carrying Money.

A western man says that men have
various ways OF carrying money.
Butchers, grocers aud bakers carry 1t IL
a big crumpled wad. Bankers carry it
in nice clean bills, laie at full length in
a morocco pocketbook. No banker ever
folds a bill. Brokers always fold their
bills twice. The young business man
carries his money IN his vest pocket,
while the sporting man carries 1t IN his
trousers pocket. Farmers and drovers
carry their money in their inside vest
pocket; and whenever you see man
carry lot Of loose change Ia his over
coat pocket, you may know that be has
at some time been car conductor. or q
curbstone merchant. Newspaper men
carry their money in some good bank
aud poets:-well, poets don't trouble
themselves about such trivial thing as
money.

The Kind of Men Wanted.

From the Abilene Reflector.
This is year when straightforward
Republicanism is going to win. 1t is a
year when the man who comes before
the people in a straightforward business
like manner. stands on his merits, alb
jures trickery and schemes and can
point to faithful work for Kansas and
the party will be SUPPORTED and elected.
There is no room on the Republican
ticket anywhere Tor vacillaiOrs, foI
tricksierS or for schemers. We want
men in whom the people have confidence
and who can and will properly represent
their constituents.

II is asserted that over one hundred
federal officeIolders have been chosen as
delegates to the Minneapolis convention.
This circumstance and the alleged in
struction issued last week by the presi-
dent that no officeholder be admitted as
q delegate to the convention, form the
basis, no doubt, of the incipient anti
Harrison movement in certain quarters.
But it will do no good. The people have
a right to say who shall represent them
in their party councils.

a Good Fight.
From the Leavenworth Times

From the Leaveuworth Times
The Atchison Globe is making a good
fight upon the methods of courts and
lawyers. Its objection Is TO unnecessary
suits and vexarious delays. If these
should be done away with there would
not be one-tenth of the business for
lawyers and courts, but the rest of the
world would be great deal happier. Is
the world to be kept in turmoil in order
that a few lawyers may grow fat!
When spears are made into pruning
hooks and swords into plowshares the
lawyers ought to be made to nanipu-
late them.
