Miami County Dress in Line.

[As We gave place to the letter Of Mr..
Kane We cannot fairly deny Like priv.
leQe 10 the other side. We nov recommend
that the public controversy cease and that
the differences be smicably adjusted
EDITOR.
EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Under the above
caption in your issue Of November u,
appears an article signed by Jim M.
Kane upon the political situation in
Miami county, which I admit is bad
enough, but l don't believe that such
articles as Brother Jim'S "Dress in Line"
will help matters in the least, even il he
told the truth, which he does not. He
says that when the county convention
met, it was demonstrated beyond q doubt
that A. G. MCCARTHY and N. W. Wells
had done ell in their power to, and did
nominate ]. E. Russell for county treas
urer, who was known as Cleveland
democrat and against the free coinage
of silver. The fact is, Mr.. Editor, that
N. W. Wells was delegate in that con-
vention from the first ward OF the city Of
Paols and that every vote he cast for
county treasurer IN that convention was
for NJ. B. EdmistoD, and il he ever asked
anyone to vote fOr any candidate for that
Office It Yves for Edmistop, But Russell

State Forestry Notice.

Those wishing to avail themselves Of the
free distribution Of Seeding forest trees can
make application at any time before March /,
1894. Results prove that there are varieties OF
trees that thrive on the upland In central and
western Kansas even In the driest years, while
there are others that will not. Some Of these
promise we'll, yet finally bring disappointment.
Any county or individual Wishing the COM
missioner to deliver an address on trees and
tree culture will find him ready to help in ar
ranging date, and to give the result Of ex-
periments in the state experimental parks and
elsewhere in the state Also IL desired Will
include the subject Of practical irrigation In
Kansas. Address, D. ID. WHEELER,
Or, Commissioner Of Forestry, Ogallah. KS.

bought and paid the government for land
and expended their money in improving IL;
and
WHERRAs, It has been demonstrated by
the experience Of these men and By the Sig-
nal stations Of the government Chat the
amount of rainfall per annum at proper
seasons is insufficient to make agriculture
practicable; therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this con-
vention that il is the duty Of congress to
make an appropriation for the purpose OF
testing the praOtiCsbility Of the following
methods of irrigation for these plains; First,
that the government should by experiments
determine whether the underAow water is
Of sufficient volume and can be brought to
the surface at q cost TO make il available
for general irrigation purposes. Second,
that il should determine the extent to which
reservoirs can be constructed for the pur-
pose of storing storm water sufficient in
quantity for irrigation purposes, and be 1t
further
Resolved, That We fully endorse the fol-
lowing extract from the erepOrt Of the special
committee of the United States senate on
irrigation made May 8, 1880, and the same
is made a part Of the resolutions Of this
convention.
"If anything can be done to encourage
the people Of these great plains it is i'm
portsnt that it should be done speedily.
"There are over 100000 people in the
arid and semi-arid belt who have paid into
the treasury of the United States no less
than $4,000, 600 for public lands.
"The government should demonstrate to
them the practioability before they will
have the courage, or can command the
means to prosecute the work on any con-
siderable sCsle."
Resolved, That the executive committee
Of this association be requested to collect
and prepare for publication all the facts re-
gsrdinR successful experiments in irriga-
tion in this state by the various methods in
use, anu b1hb buoy bCb ia OO9J@4O"AO0 "AOA
the state board Of agriculture in the OolleO-
tion and distribution of suOh knowledge and
information.
Resolved, That since forest culture can
be made an effective agent in the reClsiming
of an arid region, we therefore recommend
that every farmer on these prairieS be urged
to plant and cultivate the growth Of forest
trees.
WHEREAS, While we do not recognize that
the burning of the grasses produces drouth'
but we do believe that il intensiRes it; there
fore be il
Resolved, That we urge the farmers to
preserve the grasses from destruction By
fire, and we also urge the enforcement Of
our state laws in this matter.
Resolved, That We favor the creation OF
the office Of state engineer, and urge that
provision be made for the same BY the next
legislature.

convention and the "old guard" Jim
says, "kiCked higher than bay steers. "
Who are the old gusrdS II We count
them by the men who kicked on RusseIl'B
nomination, they are Kane, LRmphere,
Oyster and Edmiston, that's all. And
they kicked because Russell was q Clsve-
land democrat. Yes, the democratic
county organ had stated q short time
before the convention, that Russell was q
Cleveland democrat, and the 'old guard"
(Ksne, Lamphere, Oyster and Edmiston)
believed it, although this same demo-
cratic organ took back its statement the
next week, and although Mr.. Russell is
known to have voted the Peoples party
ticket regularly and to have talked PsO-
ple's party doctrines and to have con-
tributsd more to the Peoples party cam
paign fund than the "old guard" Kane,
Lsmphers, Oyster and Edmiston, all
together. They kicked, and Mr.. Russell
being true Peoples party man and in
favor Of harmony, withdrew, and j. T.
Lee, an old greenbacker, but not one Of
the "old guard, ," was put on in his place.
This "old guard, "KRne, ,Lsmphers, Oyster
and Edmiston claim TO have the power
to tell q mans political convictions and
to what political party he belongs, better
than he can himself. When Kane in
cludes in his "old guard" the 354 green
hackers who voted that ticket in 1877
78 10, he is mistaken. / voted for Peter
Cooper, Ben Butler and for General
Weaver twice, and for the straight
greenback ticket as long as there was
one, and yet am not q member Of the
"old guard" No, sir! 1t is true that
McC Csrthy voted for Russell in the county
conventions and l believe he had right
to, and as a majority Of the delegates
voted the same way, he was nominated.
Why pick out MCCARTHY and Wells and
abuse them because Russell was nomi-
mated, Mccarthy who voted for him and
Wells who did not? Why not pitch into
the majority Of that convention and say
that they were not good Peoples party
menH
It 10 true that Williams, Mccarthy
and Wells opposed the nomination Of a
candidate for Judge because, as they
stated, in the judicial convention, Judge
Burris on account Of his immense per-
sonRl popularity and because he had
made the best Judge our district ever had,
would be elected anyhow, and the result
proved the correctness Of their views,
Burris having received more votes than
both his opponents. But MCCARTHY and
Wells did not do as the "old guard
Kane, Lsmphere, Oyster and EdmiSton
did after the county convention, 60 out
and "kiok higher than bay steers" be-
cause they could not control the con-
vention, but they went out and went to
work for the whole ticket and voted 1t
straight and that is more thar the "old
guard" Lane, Lamphere, Oyster and
Edmiston, ever did for Peoples party
ticket in Miami county.
Now, Mr.. Editor, pardon me for
occupying so much Of your space. Had
it not been that Mr.. Kane's article does
an injustice to others than myself, l
would have paid no attention to it, but
the fact is, that the ''old guard" Kane,

Fruit Good at Any Time.

All fruit is said to be most wholesome
the first thing in the morning-and
surely no fruit is so cleansing and re-
freshing and very little so delicious at
that hour as big juicy melon, cooled
over night and almost cracking open and
voluntarily exposing its red heart after
the knife has gone partly through it.
Such melon, however, is just as good
at other hours in the hot days, for which
it seems to be especially provided as a
refreshing experience, something more
than the shadow Of a great rock in a
weary land. 1t is no wonder the south
ern darkies are so fond of watermeIons.
In these most trying days of the long
summer Of the south the melon is more
refreshing than chill dewdrops on the
early morning grass, and to the over
heated, overwearied and thirsty soul a
good juicy ripe one comes home to the
business and the bosoms" of darby and
white man ahke.-Hartford Times.

Character Gait.

Gait is an important part of physical
expression. By his gait man tells DE
whether he is fresh or tired, strong or
feeble, in good health or in bad. To some
extent also gait denotes occupation. The
upright and somewhat rigid walk of the
soldier differs largely from the rather
rolling gait of the sailor, and different
from both of these is the slow, jolting
gait of the country laborer, which, how
ever, is partly accounted for by his clum-
sy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities
of gait, again, an attentive eye discovers
many moral qualities. Slow steps, wheth-
er long or short, suggest a gentle or reflect
i've state of mind as the case may be
while on the contrary quick steps seem
to speak Of agitation and energy.
Reflection is revealed in frequent
pauscs, and walking to and fro, back
ward and forward, the direction of IT,,
steps wayering and following every
changing, impulse Of the mind, inevitably
betrays uncertainty, hesitation and in
decision. 1t might be asking too curious
a knowledge to distinguish by their re
spective gaits the miser, the spendthrift
and the philanthropist, but the proud
man is almost always known by his step,
the vain man to some extent and the OBJ
stinate man not little.-Leisure Hour.
