OFFICIAL PAPER OF FREGo COUNTY.
SATURDAY, MARCH Is, 1893.

WE publish timely article this
week on tree growing. While we
have frequently said as much, in
substance, it occurs to US that now
is an exceedingly good time to call
attention to the subject once more.
Every person who owns land in Ire
go county should make up his mind
to plant few trees this spring. We
use the term, "a few trees" advised
ly for, unless trees are properly
planted and cared for, they are not
at all certain to grow and do well
and, small number planted each
year, receiving the proper attention,
is better than attempting to do too
much. From our experience and
observation we have no hesitancy
in saying that trees of the right
variety can be grown on every quar-
ter section in Trego county. Of
course there are places where they
will thrive better and grow faster
than others, AS to the varieties we
think that the question has been
pretty well demonstrated. AS to
the manner we will only say that
the ground should be in the best
possible condition before the trees
are set out. They should be kept
free from weeds. They should be
kept well mulched all the time.
The one thing needed above all
others is an abundance of good
mulching. In fact almost the
whole theory is comprehended in
the one word-mulching. If you
care anything for your home, for
your comfort; if you have any pride
in your adopted county-plant a
few trees this spring and-mulch
them.

BUCHAN AND LIQUOR MEN.

II was told that Mr.. W. J.
Buchan had received $4,000 or
$4,000 from Kansas City whisky
men for number of years. In 60
ing about the city | struck Pete
Kline, who told me that the gam
blers had been compelled for the
last two years to contribute $4,000
a year to the republican party of
Kansas. In the late campaign [
told him that, if he would lend me
$4,000, [ would buy the paper [ was
after and | would get him protected
from these demands. Kline liked
the idea. So did the whisky dealers.
Meanwhile my men came in from
over the state who told they could
get eight or ten republican members
of the house to vote with the popu-
lists on organization. | wanted to
pay my men and [ went back to
Kansas City and told Pete Kline I
wanted $4,000. | said to him that
he would be reimbursed by the pop
ulist party. He gave me a check
for $4,000 and | went and paid my
men their expenses.

THE reason the laws passed by
the last Legislature have not been
published is because the secretary is
holding them until an official popu-
list paper may be designated. In
the meantime the work of the legis-
lature is suspended until the popu-
lists can arrange to give the profits
to one of their number. For ex-
treme partisanship commend us to
the reform party of the state OF
Kansas. Their protestations of
purity have degenerated to that ex-
tent that they now boldly proclaim
that they are entitled to and will
have everything in sight.

FRED. j. CLOSE is the governors
private secretary. Close and Cy
Leland are mortal enemies. In or.
der to even up with Leland, Close
places McAleney, populist represent
ative from Wyandotte county on
the stand and drags in matter en-
tirely foreign to the issue as Leland
was not on trial. McAleney testi-
fled that Leland had offered him
$4,000 for his vote for Waggoner
and, the reason the bargain was
not closed was, because they could
not agree upon a stakeholder. Nc
Aleney testified further that James
Lillis, of Kansas City, Kansas, ap-
preached him and made propositions
regarding the sale of his vote. Both
Leland and Lillis deny the charges
emphatically and, about all that
Close makes out of the examination,
is the confession of McAleney that
he was in the market for what he
could make out of it. McAleney is
one of those hypocritical reformers
who has been talking so loudly for
purity and reform.

Brides removal from his Office by
the governor. This does not create
any surprise, as the populists want
the Office, and take this method to
get it. When the populists have
the power they don't propose that
the opposition shall have anything
not even road overseer. They are
the party of purity and reform and
are not organized for spoils or Offices.

from Leavenworth county, was
placed on the stand last Tuesday to
testify before the senate investigat-

himself of boodling is apparent to
everybody.

Hudson and fully identified it, in re-

OUTBID BY THE RAILROADS.

Eight members of the house
came to me at the Copeland. -Four
were for Hoch and four for Doug
lass. Douglass was nominated and
the four Hoch men said they would
not vote for Douglass. The rival
houses were organized and nobody
knew how anybody voted. This
started the war. My judgment is
that it cost the railroads $4,000 to
get those four men to sign for
Douglass. Now that is where my
$4,000 went. Later on Judge Dos
ter told me the three democrats
would 90 into the populist house as
soon as three republicans would
make the break. [ sent word to
Pete Kline that | wanted $500.
| had said to Kline before that, by
the way, that [ was going to get a
bill through destroying the policy
business. L wish you would he
said. There are so many in the
business that there is no longer any
money in it. On Inauguration day
[ drew the bill Senator Baker intro
duced, but Taylor introduced his
bill ahead Of it. Pete Kline brought
me the $500. The only man I
ever recommended for police COM
missioner to the governor for Kan
sas City, Kansas, was George H..
Miller. | never suggested any other
name and | don't know the men
who were appointed"
Legate explained that he paid the
81 800 to some men to secure three
republicans to vote with the popu-
lists.
The democrats, however, would
not join in the movements, because
Jim Orr had seen them first. Fail
ing to get the republicans to break
he sought to get the populists to go
into the republican house, but the
railroads interferred.

Fate of One of Russia's Brightest Men.


Let me tell you a story. When l was
in college at Cornell, there came a bright
young Russian to study Of the name Of
Dabrolohoff. This young man was of
quick perceptive powers and deeply in
terested in the progressive practical
sciences and questions. He studied very
hard for four years, did much more work
than any single term required, and grad
uated with the honors of his class. He
removed to New York and entered into
a successful practice of civil engineer
ing. Some time later | learned that he
had gone bach to his native land.

side of few scientific articles in some
European magazines fornearly 10 years.
While making a tour of Europe and
Russia | bethought myself of him and
wondered why his brilliant parts hadnot
long since brought him into prominence
In Russia made inquiries, and there
learned to my establishment and sorrow
that the student had been suspected OF

where he had died in filth and chains.-

POLITICS BROKE HIM.
pY sEcRETARY OF THE TREASURY
FOSTER is BANKRUPTED
Was a Good Money Maker and Amassed a
Fortune Of Million Dollars, Which Has
Dwindled Away Since He Entered
the Political Arena

FOsTORIA. May 26.-Ex-Secretary
Charles Foster has failed and has
made an assignment. Foster was In
business in Fostoria, Ohio, az a dry
goods merchant. Soon after the war
closed he helped to organize the Eos
ter National bank. By shrewd man
agement in real estate he became
wealthy and in 1879 when elected
governor of Ohio for the first time
was reputed to be worth 81 900, 900.
During the next four years he lost
heavily in the Lake Superior copper
mines. In natural gas and street
railway speculations at Findlay
during the temporary boom
be invested largely. When the bub-
BILE burst he, with many others, was
caught for many thousands of dollars.
He also lost by endorsing notes tor
business and political friends. Since
then he has attempted to recoup his
losses, but only became more deeply
involved. A crash was temporarily
averted by his appointment as secre-
tary OF the treasury. 1t is thought
he will at least not be able
to more than pay his debts.

A Comfortable Ride After Working Hard.
While strolling past the war depart
ment one evening witnessed little
scene that was amusing if not strictly
newsy. A small sized army of char
women and sweepers, who are employed
to clean that large building, were start
ing homeward, having completed their
task for the day. 1t was raining at the
time, and several of the women, white
and colored, were without umbrellas.
One of the colored women was just
about to cross the avenue when a mag
nifcent team of horses drawing an ele-
CANT coupe dashed around the corner
from Seventeenth street. The driver in
stantly recognized the colored woman as
one Of his friends-perhaps she was his
"steady company"
He pulled up to the sidewalk and vol
unteered to give her ride home. She
at once accepted the invitation and jump
ed into the carriage and rolled away,
amid the envious looks of her less fortu-
nate associates. Her attire was not ap-
propriate to the lining of the coupe, but

WASHINGTON, May At'
Collector of Customs:
SIR-By department circular dated
4th inst, officers of this department
were instructed to refrain from max
ing arrests under provisions of the act
approved May 5, 1892, entitled IAN
act to prohibit the coming OF Chinese
persons into the United States until
otherwise directed" This order re-
mains in force 20 far as it applies to
Chinese persons who have failed to
obtain certificates of residence under
the provisions of the sixth section OF
said act. but who otherwise would
have right to remain in the United
States. 1t is known, however, that
great numbers of Chinese laborers
have entered the United States in vio-
lation of the provisions of the act as
amended by act approved July 5, 1884,
and of the act approved October l.,
1888. Many of these have obtained
admission upon false representations
that they were not laborers
but merchants, and others have
entered clandestinely from con-
tiguous foreign territory. In
wiling your attention to the first, sec
ond, third, fourth and fifth sections of
the act approved May 5, 1892, entitled
"An act to prohibit the coming of
Chinese persons into the United
States" which continues in force the
provisions of the previous act prohi.
biting the coming into this country OF
Chinese laborers, and providing for
the trial, imprisonment and deporta-
ton of such persons who under said
laws are found not lawfully entitled
to remain in the United States, you
are directed to use all means under
your control to vigorously enforce
said provisions of law and to take
such measures as may be necessary to
secure the arrest and prosecution of
I hinese laboreTs unable to show that
they havs obtained lawful admission
into the United States.
