The Overland Monthly for September
opens with several illustrated poems,
descriptive Of various parts of the state,
which are veritable tributes OF song to
the attractiveness Of the places described.
Painting Yosemite Panorama, by the
artist, G. D. Robinson, is an attractive
article interestingly told, giving the de-
tails Of conception, construction and
painting Of this panorama, now finishing
in San Francisco. A short biographical
sketch Of DIR. De Groot, by his son-in-
law, Frederick f. Birge; the continued
stories, and several articles OF early Cali
fornia adventure make an interesting
number.

The first application for permission to
engage in hydraulic mining, under the
new California law, has been made. By
the terms of the Caminetti act itcan be en-
gagged in so long as it infficts no material
injury upon public or private property.
If this can be done without too great ex-
pense it will have tendency to equalize
the values of gold and silver by lessening
the cost of producing the former.

ARfzOLA.

TIE OASIS frequently receives let ters of inquiry about Arizola, and as a general answer in reply to such in- quirles, will say that ArizoJa is town on the Southern Pacific Railway where the Florence Irrigating Canal crosses the track. Three years ago it was desert: today there is railway sta tion at which all passenger trains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly, telegraph office, post office, an ex- press office, hotel, store, school house. printing office. stock yard and chute for shipping cattle. and thrifty and enterprising community, with newspaper, THE OASIS, to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which Arizola stands was taken up as desert land, for which the govern ment was paid one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from one hundred dollars up. aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward l That is what has been done at Arizola in three years. Come and join in the grand work of making Arizola pros porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States, and health giving climate not sur passed in the world.

KANSAS AT THE HEAD.

According to the forthcoming report
of Secretary Noble, although the popuIa-
ton of the state decreased from 1888 to
1892, when it began to recover, the value
of the farm products of the state steadily
advanced from over s26S, 000,0 900 in the
biennial period Of 1856 to over $275,-
600, 900 in 1878, nearly 1924. 100000 in
1SS9-90 and no less than 1884, 500, 600 in
1912. These figure do not include tie
value of stock. Probably the most re-
markable fact in the agricultural history
of Kansas was an increase of no less
than 800 per cent. in the wheat area of
the state in the four years from 1888 to
1892 when the population of the state
was steadily declining. In those four
years Kansas progressed from near the
foot of the class of wheat growing states
to the first place, producing in 1892 the
largest crop ever raised by any state in
the Union.

MONEY TO KILL MEN.

Five of the leading powers of Europe,
says the New York Herald, have locked
up in special treasury six thousand
five hundred and twenty-five million
francs for the purpose of destroying
men and material in war. NJ. ST. Cere,
in commercial cable dispatch this
morning, puts these astonishing figures
before us. Germany was the third of
the nations to get together reserve
fund for this deadly purpose. She now
has 500,000,0O0 francs; France has
1900, 100000; Russia, despite the
alleged drain on her from cholera and
famine, 125, 001 900 francs; Austria, $780,
100000 francs; Italy, the poorest of all,
less than go, 1000, 900 francs.
"These immense sums of money are
lying idle. They cannot or will not be
touched, except in case of war. En-
peror William Of Germany says he
would rather the name of Germany
should be dishonored financially than
touch single mark of this war fund.
We suppose the accumulation may be
called the resources of civilization"

CURIOUS LAPsEs OF MEMORY.

The Hartford Courant says that "the
recent statement of southern paper
that since the death of Gen. Bearregard,
the only prominent Confederate general
left is Gen. E. Kirby Smith, curiously
ignores Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who
was considered tolerable prominent when
there was fighting going on" And the
New York Tribune, referring to the
same matter, says: seen. Joseph E.
Johnston was still alive at last accounts.
After retiring from the office of com.
missioner of railroads, to which he was
appointed by Mr.. Cleveland, he went to
practice law in Baltimore"
This is curious blunder Of two con-
temporaries. The fact is that Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston died in Washington
Feb, 81, 1891, more than two years ago.
Moreover, he was not a lawyer, and of
course never ''went to practice law in
Baltimore" or anywhere else. The
blunder is also curious in the omission
of reference to one of the ablest and
most conspicuous of the Confederate
chieftains, Lieutenant General Long
street, who still lives on his farm near
Gainesville, Ga. AS fighter Longstreet
was held in the first place not only by
the Confederates, but the Union armies
that met him on the field, learned to
place the same estimate upon him.

A GLORIOUS RECORD.
From the New York Tribune.

With the retirement of President
| Harrison and the reversal of political
| conditions in the senate an unbroken era
| of Republican politics has been brought
| to a Close. While there was a Demo-
cratic administration during President
Cleveland's first term, and while the
house has frequently been under Demo-
| cratic control, those policies have prac-
| ticalIy prevailed since 1851. For the
first time in thirty-two years the Demo-
cratic party is now in undisputed con-
troll OF the administration and both
houses of congress.
One thing at least must be admitted
by even the narrowest Democratic parti-
san. If there is a government left for
the Democratic party to administer
gratitude is due to the Republican party,
which saved the Country from
secession and disruption, suppressed the
most gigantic rebellion of modern times
and triumphantly re-established the
supremacy of national authority. Thirty
two years ago the Republicans had little
canse for gratitude to the Democratic
party which under the domination Of
southern slave barons had brought tbe
country to the verge OF ruin.
The Republican party has retired from
power with the proud consciousness OF
having neither betrayed its trusts nor
neglected its opportunities IN the gener-
alton during which Its policies have been
in operation. There Is an undivided
country, an indissoIuble Union, withou.

LOVE AND DEATH.

Love stands within the shadow fold of time
And lifts the silver curtain of the years.
Death reaches out a great hand unaware.
And draws aside sombre drapery.
And down the mystery OF being we
Gaze spell-bound-al the soul hidden from
self.
Wakes with sudden passionate wild force.
That gives significance and shapes to life;
And with vision spiritual We see
Strange, beautiful sweet sights, that are un-
seen
Save as we see them through our tears;
And so we lean to look, all shuddering,
Yet fascinated by the things life has for US.
Where we must gaze and gaze until.
The need to know and see is satisfied.

has gone far enough to practically agree

The legislature adjourned just in time
to escape another Investigation, that Of
the Anthony bond matter. As the case
now stands it is question of veracity
between Anthony and Higgins, who aver
aud insist that Anthony was reelected
by the executive council, April /, 1892,
and filed the required bond of $4,000,
on one side, and Secretary Osborn, who
declares that the records OF the secre-
tary's Office as kept by Higgins and
turned over 20 him bear no evidence OF
such reelection or the filing of second
bond. Osborn offers the books and rec
ords of the Office TO substantiate his
statement, while Higgins wires from
Chicago that it is all trick of Osborn's

A PICTURE.

A comely cottage in the vale,
A woodland background, shimmering green
\ path by childish footsteps worn
To busy brook that flows between.
Within the cottage cleaning white.
The dainty board is amply spread.
The mystic charms of twilight's hour
Ger all softened radiance shed.
Today from out that happy home,
There passed the households pride and joy
To unfamiliar ways and scenes,
That greet the eager college boy.
Ard SO tonight the merry jest
Speeds not around the circle there;
A shadow rests on mothers brow
That scarce ere this hath mirrOred care.
The father notes the troubled brow:
The saddened cIildren's silent ways;
And deity weaves in merry tone,
Droll stories of his college days.
Ere long is cheerfulness restored,
The evening passed in converse sweet,
Until the nodding. sleepy heads
Their downy pillows gladly meet.
The mother with bowed head doth muse,
Il care not what the schools impart.
So they give me back again
The same frank, true and manly heart"

IT Is NOT FAIR.

The state senators and representatives
from this section of the state permitted
the congressional apportionment COM
mittee to hoodoo them. Ever since and
including tine time when Kansas had
three representative districts, this sec
ton Of the state has been imposed upon.
The new appOrtionment not only makes
this the last district in number, but
forces upon it an outrageous inequality.
The congressional district, composed of
Sedgwick, Harvey, Sumner, Cowley,
Butler, Chautauqua and Elk, contains
fully two hundred thousand people.

WORDS OF GOOD CHEER.

Several weeks ago, when the state
meeting of Republican leagues was call
ed to convene at Topeka and the date
fixed-Friday, March 10-invitations
were sent to a number of prominent
Republicans to be present and address
the meeting, among them Hon. John S.
GARRISON, one of the national leaders.
Mr.. Clarkson was prevented from at
tending in person, but he sent the fol-
lowing letter which was read before the
convention and which will be read with
deep interest and qualification for the
spirit of aggressiveuess and enthusiastic
confidence it bears for the future success
of the party and the strong incentives
and encouragement it affords Repub-
licans extant, and especially in Kansas
for renewed faith aud redoubied activ-
ity in the party's behalf. Mr.. Clarkson
says:
Il would like day or two in confer
ence and communion with the robust
and gallant Republicans of Kansas.
They are Republicans of the Lincoln
faith and the unapologizing kind, the
kind who must lead the way to victory
if We are to find a victory in 1896. The
hope of the Republican restoration to
power lies in the west. In the last con-
test nearly everything was staked on the
demands of eastern opinions in the party.
We lost by our consequent weakening in
the west. We must build upon honest
and courageous ground TO live again in
victory and power. At Washington all
party reckonings nearly are taken by
the interests or policies of men in office.
Among the people, and especially among
such Republicans as those who have in
Kansas passed through the conflict and
learned experience aud wisdom under
fire and defeat. must be found the coun-
sci for practical ways in the future"
