There is nothing strange about all
the best land in the Strip being taken
by "SOOners." There was nothing to
prevent it. The registration fraud
was only premium on "SOOnerism."

The object now of the goldbugS is
to issue bonds and draw more inter-
est from the people. The assertion
of the Populists that more money is
needed is proven beyond peradven-
ture. The demonstration of silver
abolishes half the metal money we
now have. When they think they
have squeezed us enough they will
offer US more bank notes and bonds
to pay interest on. The only safety
Of the people is in the issue of legal
tender without compelling the gov
eminent TO pay any interest.-Popn-
list.

We learn from Dun'S and Brad
streets financial reports that times
are getting easier and money loosen
ing. 1t is a good thing to have those
commercial agencies to tell the peo-
pie whether they are starving or not
and it is also wonderful to see with
what unanimity they continue to re-
port week after week times easier
while business everywhere is growing
worse. These agencies are frauds or
they do not know their business.

Three thousand Kansas Odd Eel

attendance on Odd Fellows week
at the Worlds fair.
The rottennesS Of the government
officials was again demonstrated in
the opening of the Strip. Are there
still fools who claim that the present
officials run the government in the
interest of the common people?
Our esteemed contemporary the
Monitor now comes forward and calls
Baby Ruth the Infanta! And has it
come to this, that in Wellington,
Sumner county, Kansas, we have
those who believe that Ruth is heir
APPARENT to the American throne?
And this from a Republican at that.
There were not as many regular
soldiers in the Strip on the day of
opening as there are members of the
Wellington military company, and
there is every reason to believe that
every one of these soldiers plotted
"sOOners" to the best land before the
day deepening.
To not get anything in the Strip
after bearing the torture of standing
in the registration line, is enOug h to
make any man curse the cause of all
the misery so long as he lives. 1t
was not only few that endured this
torture, believing they would be pro-
tected and get their rights, but thOuS-
andS.

Stop Hungarian immigration.

Blue and Gray for November:
The problem of restricting i'm
migration must shortly receive
more attention from our national
legislators than they have yet de-
voted to it. While we are proud to
regard our country as a haven of
refuge for the royalty-ridden OPP
pressed of every nation, we must
decidedly object to it's becoming a
sink into which may be swept the
undesirable odds and ends of other
countries. Our honest labOring
classes have suffered too long and
bitterly from the competition
which has come in with the flood
of beggarly hordes from Eastern
and Southern Europe, whose
very presence is so often
sive to the clearly. and whose
habits of life are hardly above those
of the most unclean domestic ami
NAL. The only immigrants we can
welcome to our shores are those
who come to stay, and whose blood
and habits render them capable of
growing into worthy citizens. We
believe it possible to formulate and
execute laws that will regulate this
matter, and shut out the undesir-
able classes, without doing violence
to the generosity of our institu-
tions. A cheerful sign of the times
is the fact that numerous large
Eastern manufactures whose
"laborers" have lately been Sc
lected from such disreputable
people as the Poles and Huns, are
now excluding all but "Ameri-
cans"-which, of course, takes in
the better class Of citizens of for
eign birth. This action will tend
to discourage the further influx of
such classes, and even lead to a
considerable exOdus-cOnsumm
tiOns devoutly to be wished. We
believe, that our national govern
ment may legitimately go still fur
ther, and absolutely protect our
working classes by means quite
as honorable and effective as the
protection to manufacturers which
has been attained by the tariff. We
are sure that we give voice to pub
lie sentiment when we demand of
Congress early and energetic action
looking to this end.

which is grown on the upland. The
best cotton in the world is grown
on Edisto island, south of Charles
ton; the staple of this is nearly
two inches long.
Seen under a microscope, the
cotton fibres are ribbOn-shaped,
and not straight like flax, but
twisted something like a cork
screw. The best sea-island cotton
is in beautiful spiral springs that
are readily used in spinning. This
cotton is used only in the manu-
facture Of the most delicate fab
RIGS; in England, a single pound
of it has been wrought into l,O26
miles of thread.
1t was at first thought that COM
preston would injure the staple Of
the cotton; that the fibre would
be broken off short, or the spiral
screw, so necessary to good spin
ming, be crushed flat. But it was
demonstrated by experiment that,
so far from injuring the staple, it
seemed to preserve it, and since
then the great desire of the cotton
shippers has been to get machine
to compress the cotton as much as
possible.

A Mississippi Fire Raft.

An officer of the United States
Navy, whose identity is concealed
under the non de plume of "Union
Jack" is contributing a series of
articles entitled "With Farragut
on the Hartford" to the Blue and
Gray magazine. In the Novem-
Der issue occurs this spirited de-
scription of a fire raft on the Mis-
sissippi:
ain the midst of it all the CLEAN
of blood red light shoots suddenly
athwart the turbid waters Of the
river. Another second reveals a
brilliant blaze, that plays upon
hull, spars and rigging of the
column of ships, bringing out
strongly in the fierce glare the pro-
truding muzzles Of the great guns.
A dozen signal lights of varied hue
threw their brilliant tints upon the
river banks, blending with rare eff
feet their vivid cOlOrS with the
dark, interlaced foliage. 1t is fire
raft, the last one sent down by the
Confederates for the purpose of
harassing the Federal fleet, and the
swift tide sweeps it EDWARDS,
wide zone Illuminated by the mass
of flaming resinouS wood. Over all
floats whirling, writhing pail Of
dense black smoke, from the midst
of which trail flying showers of
scintillating sparks and fragments
of blazing material. In vast
surges and columns of roar
ing, undulating pillows Of fire
the flames roll on high, casting
forth heat impossible for mortal
to withstand. The boat brigade
recoils, lying on their oars watch
ing its progress, which they are
powerless to dispute. 1t drifts by
the mortar schooners-passeS in
such close proximity to the Hart
ford" that huge blisters are raised
on her freshly painted sides, and

structure on the muddy bank of

The Greater Power of the Nation.

The Greater Power of the Nation.
Blue and Gray for November.
Nothing could be more foreign TO
our purpose than to detract from
the virtue of a hearty love for ones
native state. 1t ranks with love
for home and mOther-sweet emo
tiOns which it is every mans priv
ilege to enjoy. Loyalty to ones
state is an attribute without which
no one can be worthy citizen of
this great union of states. Love
Of country is an emotion more
broad and lOfty-broad enough to
cover all Otner ties. The doctrine
of state sovereignty is a natural
OutgrOwth of that conservatism
which leads a man to live and
die within a few leagues Of his
birthplace. When our country
was young, and emigration to the
fertile western plains unknown,
the staid old residents of certain
New England states were quite as
clamOrOus for their integral rights
as were their southern brethren a
generation since. Today with the
ntermingling of the sections, the
era of rapid and easy transit, and
the free dissemination of the daily
news, there is no state whose citi-
zens would accept dismissal from
the Union, much less claim the
right to withdraw. Few are the
men today who do not voice the
sentiment expressed by the great
Virginian, Patrick Henry, when
in his immortal speech at old Car
penter's hall he said:
"The distinctions between Vir-
ginians, Pennsylvanians, New
Workers, and New Englanders are
no more. | am not a Nirginian,
but an American ~
Blue and Gray believes in the
greater power of the nation be-
cause it holds that the words
"United we stand, divided we fall"
mean something; because the in
terest of every citizen of this Re-
public demand it; because it be-
lieves that the politicians who are
still shouting that old war-cry
of1S6O do not represent any con-
siderable portion of their constitu-
ents, but are endeavoring to keep
up an exploded idea for their own
political purposes. Let no man
say that this is "dabbling i'm poll
tics" We call it patriotism" ;
and patriotism is as far above poll
tics (so-called) as the heavens are
above the earth

king Cotton"
ray for November:

Blue and Gray for November:
A field of cotton in June is like
brilliant flower bed. Its bloom
resembles the hollyhock, and has
the remarkable popularity of
changing it's color from hour to
hour. When it first opens it is a
pale straw color; in a few hours it
is a pure white; later it is family
pink, and next morning rose color.
The flower is succeeded by a tri-
angular pod, containing in three
cells the seeds and three locks of
white down which burst forth
when the pod opens. The length
and firmness of this fibre,
or staple, as it is usually
called, determines the grade
Of the cotton. The "sea-island," or
lOng-stapled cotton is vastly more
valuable than the short-stapled,

In consequence of the bad con-

ings and sidewalks, The Chronicle
will defer the advocacy of good
county roads until something is
done in that direction for our own
city. Never was there better OPP
portunity than the present time
when the price of labor is now
down to the lowest notch-$1 a day
and if there is particle of pro-
gress in the present administration
now is the time to turn it loose.

About the Third Ward Election

From the Weekly illumination.
The old administration is en-
phatically improved upon in the
new force at the 3rd ward polls on
the ID. White men and negroes
drawing salaries from the city,
left their work by permission (?)
and spent the day electioneering.
This latter work of the servants of
the city, no doubt was the paren-
thetical part of their abstract
weight, which cansed them to be
pronounced not wanting when
weighed in the balances, before
their appointment.

A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
wOmanhOOd. Following is an instance Our
daughter, Blanche, now Il years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. yin fact we feared st. Vitus dance and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affection. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but IS pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs LOG pounds her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. Nitus dance are entirely gone. she
attends school regularly, and studies with COM
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite is splendid and no
money could procure for our daughter the health

Worlds Fair Dairy Tests.

The tests Of dairy cows at Chicago show
that there is no temperature for churning
that may be relied upon as fixed" At
the beginning the temperature of the
varied from "A to 81 degrees. that from the
Guernseys varied from AZ to 46 degrees,
and that from the Shorthorns from 10 to
A degrees. AT the ending of the week the
cream from the Jersey herd varied from
81 to So degrees, that from the GuernSeys
from AZ to "a degrees, and that from the
shorthornS from As to 50 degrees. The av-
erage rise of temperature during churning
of the Jersey cream was 10 degrees, with
an average of 6 degrees from the Guern-
seys and As degrees for the shorthorns.
The shortest time of churning Jersey cream
co minutes, and the longest 120 minutes.
The shortest time in churning the Guern-
sey cream was 40 minutes and the longest
100 minutes, while the shortest for the
shorthornS was 40 minutes and the longest
50 minutes 1t Will be noticed that the
temperature of the cream varied during
churning, and that the time required for
making the butter come varied widely
also.
The three breeds varied greatly in the
amount of cream contained In the milk, and
the individual cows of the breeds differed
also in quantity and quality of product. AS
no two COWS are alike in any respect, and
as the milk and butter differ not only in
quality, but also in the time required for
churning, no fixed rules can be settled upon
in the matter of churning. All depends on
the cow herself, and the requirements in
her case will not fit her companions in the
herd. 1t is incumbent upon farmers, in the
face of these tests, to give the greater at
tention to the kind of cows they use, for
not only is the care and attention, as we'll
as the feed, potent factors with the breed,
but the labor of churning is also dependent
on the cows more than on the kind of
churn Dairying Is a science, and the more
1t is investigated the greater ii Is made ap-
parent that the heaviest loss on the farm
comes from the use Of scrub cows.
