THE GARDEN OF The DESERT.

The southwestern quarter of Kansas,
the central portion of what was known
and characterized as the Great American
Desert, has been regarded as unfit for
habitation of civilized people who should
depend upon agriculture OF other indus
trial pursuits. Even two years ago few
people outside the area mentioned be-
lieved that farming operations could be
carried on Systematically and success
fully, owing to local conditions that for
a long time seemed to present an insur-
mountable barrier to successful and
profitable agricultural enterprises. But
the determination of the hardy pioneers
who sought homes in that quarter has
demonstrated that these preconceived
notions aud anti-trial prophecies were
erroneous. For the past two years tn e
citizens of the southwest, having "got
onto the country, becoming familiar
with the conditions and peculiarities, and
by persistent and intelligent experimental
ton, have demonstrated that certain
lines of agriculture may not only be
carried on successfully, but with greater
profit than in many of the older and
hitherto-considered more favored sec
tons.
Wheat, the great bread cereal, has
been demonstrated to be as sure q crop
there as in any of the famous wheat
belts Of the country, and the crop of
Southwest Kansas will henceforth fig
ure conspicuously in the makeup of the
aggregate yield of the country.
Only five years ago the man who sowed
wheat in Southwest Kansas, was re
garded as INDUCING in an expert
ment. This year the frontier counties
are showing up III great shape. Seward
county has quit raising cain in politics
and will have nearly 100000 bushels of
wheat this year. Greeley county reports
500 carloads, Ness county half million
bushels, Rush and Lane counties about
the same as Ness, and Scott county GEO.
600 bushels, Norton county 250. 900,
Wichita county nearly a half million
bushels. Stevens county 100000 Haskell
county 1000, Stanton and Gran: 200,-
coo each, Hamilton, Finney, Stevens,
Comanche. Kearney, Ford, Kiowa.
Meade. Gray. Hodgeman, Garfield, Clark
and Edwards viii average more than a
quarter million each of as good wheat
as ever grew on any soil.
Can you realize that all this is upon
soil located upon maps in the geogra-
phies Of our school days as = part of

April y,
You should have been with us today.
We went 10 the Bots de Vincennes: 1t Is
even more beautiful than the Bois de
Boulogne. After we left the tramway
we walked for half hour before we
reached the park. We saw such quaint
little country cottages with pretty
flower gardens in front The ar
was fresh and pure and laden with
the fragrance of spring blossoms.
Inc beauty of the bois exceeded any
imagination. The day was perfect. The
sunshine, the green velvety plots dotted
with daisies, the shimmering surface OF
the artificial lake, the little island so
dellciously varied in its verdure, ana the
rustic villa on its bank, formed charm
ing picture. We wandered through the
winding paths until We came to an
avenue leading to plateau, where we
obtained magnificent view. The park
IS on one side of the avenue and on the
other side are beautiful summer villas.
The little river Marine is plainly seen
from the plateau; along its banks Is
high smooth road. Many villages
cleaned in the distance. The charm of
the scene lay in the diversity of the sur
face, happy intermingling OF hill and
dale. l picked few daisies and ivy
leaves, which will press in memory OF
the day.
Tomorrow will visit the groves Of
Helolse and Abelard.

TO NAVIGATE THE AIR,

Several months ago citizen of Mount
Carmel, Ills, created something Of a
furore among aerial scientists by the
production of an airship which, he
claimed, solved the problem of navigat-
ing the air. He transported his engine
to Chicago by rail, where it was to be
perfected in detail. After a number of
trials and formal announcements Of
progress towards final success, the in
vention seems to have taken the form of
dissolving view and floated away.
Now comes another aeronaut, Pro-
fessor Hiram S. Maxim, with new
scheme for aerial travel-a scheme based
on theory Numerically unlike that
avowed by his predecessors. 1t has been
held that an aerial machine to be of prac-
teal utility must either be lighter than
the air or must be buoyed up by wings
or paddles. Professor Maxim has de-
vised thin, long shaft of some material.
This he calls an aeroplane. The plane,
tilted at the proper angle like kite, and
pushed forward through the air at a
nigh rate of speed, will, he contends, be
supported by the pressure of air beneath
it. Wherefore he believes that the use
of machine heavier than air is abso-
luteIy necessary to successful aerial
navigation. He alleges that an acroplane
can carry 80 pounds to the horse
power.
Whatever scientists may think of this
theory, the public will beg to reserve its
opinion until one of the new air -naviga-
tors can be actually seen in progress of
navigation. No one, however, will now
scott at any inventor who is sincere and
and persistent. II as much brains and
energy had been expended by man in
the endeavor to lift himself by his boot
straps as have been put upon the present
problem, even that wondrous feat might
have been accomplished.
If the aeronauts are resolved to sue
coed, let them.

THE OPENING DRAWS NEAR.

Colonel d. II. Ross writes from Wash
ington TO the Guthrie Capital that Cong
ressman Peel, chairman of the commit
tee on territories. is expected back from
Arkansas this week, when he will call
up the Cherokee strip bill and that it will
pass the house without opposition. The
senate will then take it right up. The
Colonel says that 1T is almost certain that
the bill will become law in the next
fifteen or twenty days.
This will be happy intelligence to
thousands who lave waited long and
patiently for an opportunity to secure a
nome in that fair and far-famed land.
Colonel Ross is i'll position to speak ad-
visedly of the prospects for the early
opening of the strip. His relation to and
intimate connection with the already
settled portion of the territory make him
all the more jealous for the consumma-
ton of the universal desire, i.e,. the open
ing of the strip, and these considerations
would restrain any disposition he might
have to misrepresent the actual situation
as to the passage of the bill, the one re-
naming condition precedent to the open
ing of the lands to settlement. Nor can
congress afford to trifie with so large a
number of people on so important a
matter

The solicitude manifested by The DEM
ocrats for the success of the Peoples
party in certain states where they have
no hope of success for their party, be-
trays a lack of confidence in the election
of their ticket. They hope by the aid of
the new party to throw the election of
president in the house. If this should
be the outcome of the contest it vii be
only partial triumph for the Democra-
cy. The senate, which is safely Repub-
lican, would elect the vice president and
of course would choose the party'S uomi-
nee, Hon. Whitelaw Reid. But the Re-
publicans do not count on any such con-
tingency: they expect to elect both their
candidates and have electoral votes to
spare.

The Democratic platform denounces
'the Republican legislation known as the
Sherman act of 1890" as "a cowardly
makeshift, fraught with possibilities of
danger in the future" This is the law
under which the secretary of the treas
ury is required to buy 4,5O0, 900 ounces
of silver each month and give treasury
notes for it, which notes are redeemable
in coin on demand. If it is such bad
thing, why does not the Democratic
house of representatives with its over
whelming majority, at once pass bIIl
to repeal it: Does not the Democratic
house lay itself open to the imputatlon
of cowardice when it fails to repeal a
a law which is declared by the highest
Democratic authority to be mkeshlft
fraught with possibilities of danger:

1t looks now like the Populists at
Omaha will abandon their su btreasuiy,
land-loan, warehouse and kindred vaga-
ries, and adopt in their stead the one
idea of free silver coinage. and upon that
alone go before the country. There is
just as much reason and argument IL
this as there was in the greenback craze
several years ago, and it Will have the
same end. A one-idead policy or party
cannot hope to succeed in country
whose interests are so diverse, and so
many of equal Importance, as is the case
in these United States Of ours. No sin
gle and exclusive interest can, nor of
right ought to, prevail to the neglect and
