KANSAS LAND OFFICE MATTERS.
Secretary Smith Thinks He Will
Straighten Them Out and Make
the Appointments This
Month,

Secretary Smith stated to-day that he
would decide on the Kansas land office
matters this month. He would take up
the matter of consolidating some of the
offices and at the same time would make
the appointments.
Some trouble has originated in the
matter of consolidating the Garden City
and the Larned offices at Dodge City.
The objection is raised that it will be
impossible to make the change under
the law. This position is being taken
here by some of the fellows who have
been interested by Garden City to fight
the change. There is, of course, a bitter
opposition shown from that city to the
removal as proposed by the commission
er of the land Office. The opposition
was made known to the secretary to-
day, who stated that he would take the
matter under advisement, and if it was
illegal of course the change could not be
made, but if it was not illegal possibly
he would feel it his duty to conform to
the recommendations of the commits
sion of the land office.
The secretary also stated that he had
decided definitely that he would not APP
point a man register of a land office who
is not a lawyer. No other need apply.
This will cause some changes in the land
Office slate for Kansas. Fike, the mem
Der of the democratic state central COM
mittee of the state, who celebrated the
Martin Endorsement with some demon
STATIONS and financial outlay, was book
ed for register, and it now appears that
since he has been turned down by the
secretary he will be forced to see Tully
Scott take the place of register and at
the same time look pleasant. For some
time it has been understood that Scott
would make an effort to get the place,
no matter whether the ruling of the Sec
rotary concerning attorneys was pro-
mulgated or not. The Oberlin Office will
absorb the Cawker City office and in
this way be made desirable.
1t also appears that Joe Dillon, who
wants to be register at the Garden City
Office, will be embarrassed. The new
rule, as stated, will place him beyond
the range of possibility and give a
chance for another man.
An effort is being made to get Joe Nc
Clelland, of Kingman, appointed to one
of the land offices in the Cherokee Strip.
He is backed for the place by the Click
fellows and they claim they viii be able
to get him the iob.-K. G. Journal.

G.. NJ. BELL, Secretary.

CLEvELAND's message is before the
people for their judgment. We are I'M
able to give it entire in this issue, nor
is it necessary as it contains but one
salient point, single proposition-the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman
Jaw, There is no hesitation, no uncer-
tainty about it. He does not intimate
that he has anything in view except the
absolute repeal of the law to whose IN
fuence he attributes the present fnan-
cial depression. There is not word of
concession or encouragement to the adj
Eocates of silver. The democratic party
stands before the country to-day as the
only party favoring the decentralization
of silver. Whether, in this particular
instance, a democratic administration,
represented by the president, is in &C
cord with a majority Of the democratic
congress remains to be demonstrated.
In any event, all democrats who voted
for Mr.. Cleveland did so knowing his
extreme views upon the money
problem and are therefore responsible
for his utterapces and efforts on behalf
of gold standard. They are all Access
sories before the fact and cannot now
disclaim responsibility.

liz recent visit to a crowded metr OPP
pills we happened to be in the vicinity, at
the hour of o'clock in the evening,
where many laborers were employed.
The whistles had just sounded, as the
signal that another days work had been
completed, and the laborers, many of
them with their little tin pals: were
hurrying homeward. 1t was then per-
haps that we came nearer realizing the
meaning of the word "Home" than ever
before in our life. A dense moving
throng, hurrying hither and thither,
passing and jostlipg each other on their
way; confused mass of human beings
all winding their way each to par
ticular spot-and each bosom filled with
kindly emotions, which flow with a
warmer and swifter current as he ap-
proaches nearer and nearer to his point
of destination. One feeling alone per-
vades this dense mass-one impulse
alone hastens their footsteps. Home is

them from their scenes of toll. The
fatigue of labor is forgotten as, as one by
one, they step aside from the bustling
crowd and enter the charmed precincts
his little world-his heart treasury for
which tolls, and cheerfully tolls, know
ing well that the drops which labor
wrings from his brow, means the main
tenance of his humble Eden. Blessed
be that Divine implanted sentiment that
leads the heart to fasten on one spot
and that, wherever it may be, whether
in the whirl of business or pleasure
whether in the solitude of the desert or
of the ocean-to that hallowed spot we
turn, as the needle to the pole, with a
constancy that is never wearied, and a
kindness that is never exhausted. The
sweetest word in the English language
is Hone"

We find it very difficult sometimes
to obey the scriptural injunction: eff
thy enemy smite thee on thy right
cheek, turn to him the left also" And
especially is it difficult to exercise such
a spirit of charity when our enemies,
in spirit of vindictiveness, or at least
with an entire disregard of the truth,
assail the land of our adoption. Our
patriotism is too intense for us to read
the many infamous ISLANDERS that are
being circulated in the east at our ex-
pense and maintain that good nature
for which we have become so widely
noted, The following from the Albany
Evening Journal is sample of much
of the literature that is being dissent
mated in the East at the expense of
western Kansas. 1t shows the gloomy,
dense and profound ignorance of the
writer, or else stamps him as an unmit-
igated prevaricator and ibeler:
"But the infatuated believers in the
desert want to try it again and so the
seed for one more attempt will be furn-
ished them. There are men in the
stricken region who have been there
ten years and during all that time have
had but one good crop; yet they hang
on, believing that some day the desert
will be the garden spot of the world.
All they need is water and that they
cannot get. Their faith and courage are
worthy Of q more promising field of

THE little spring in the mountain
rock becomes q brook, a torrent, wide
rolling river, and part of the fathom-
less ocean, simply by pushing steadily
and brayely forward. In this country,
among people who are equally protected
and encouraged, the secret of success
lies in the steady pursuit of intelligence,
industry, temperance and frugality. Ii
the great fortunes which dazzle the mis-
judging poor be analysed, they will be
found, in most instances, to have sprung
from calm, patient and simple toil-toil
which had an endurance and faith be-
hind, and an object before it. So, too,
with success in whatever man seeks to
accomplish.

IT is familiar fact that persons born
deaf are usually mute not from any
congenital. defect in the organs of
speech, but from the fact that, never
having heard others speak, they can
not initiate articulate utterance. It is
probably true, too, that the source of
some current errors of speech among
those who are not esteemed deaf lies
in defect of hearing. Many persons
who habitually tack on the ''r" sound
to words ending in ''w,'' say that they
are unable to distinguish, for example,
between claw and "1or." It is not
uncommon to hear this mispronuncia-
ton from the lips of New Englanders
not of DR.. Holmes Brahmin type, but
it is difficult to draw from such persons
the admission of the error.

THE Trego County Central committee
assumed to say who should be the DEM
ocratic postmasters in Trego county.
Since they rendered their decision there
has been but one appointment and that
was not the applicant backed by the
committee. We learn from good au-
thority that some, at least, of those who
failed to stand in with the committee,
in the matter of the Wa-Keeney post
Office, will not abide by its decision, but
are still in the fight and several of them
are quite sanguine of ultimate success.
OF course only one can be successful.

PoLITIcs seem to be exceedingly quiet
in our county, although there may be a
rapid under current that will shortly
come to the surface. The republicans,
who are candidates, apparently are con-
tent to have the party make selections
and they seem to be making but little
effort for themselves. The opposition
are as quiet as the tomb. If they have
any candidates for the respective official
positions, outsiders have not been ap-
prised of the fact.

THE phenomenon of double con-

uncommon. Many mysterious disap-

manner wholly consistent with the
innocence of the missing one, and even
with his apparent sanity. A very sim

ern judge who went away from home
while deranged from overwork and
became day laborer under another

AN interesting pension case came to
the knowledge of a physician in north
ern Delaware. He amputated a mans
leg some years ago because of dis
ease contracted by the patient shortly
before. Later, when pension legisla-
ton become more and more liberal,
the same man came to the same physi-
clan to be examined preliminary to ap-
plying for a pension. The ground of
the application was to be the loss of
the missing leg IN the service of his
country. The physician, being con-
scientious man of sound memory, did
not give the desired certificate.

ONE of the curious features of the
New York sub-treasury count is the
number of bags which have never been
emptied since they left the mint. Most
of the silver dollars now being handled
have upon their coverings the dust
which has accumulated since the last
count, four years ago. There has been
no call for them, and they have re-
manned in the sub-treasury vaults like
ore in a mine.
