DEVEL1SH FOP TALK.

From the Kansas City Gazette,
The Ottawa Journal, State Printer
Shows paper, Is opposed to a special
session of the legislature for two very
significant and conclusive reasons. The
first Is, that in calling the legislature to-
gether the Pops would have TO reorgan-
ize the Douglass house as the legal one.
1t argues that mo excuse, however
great, can be sufficient to invite traitors
to make laws for Kansas No excuse.
however great, could atone for the vol
nntary immersion of the Popullsts of
Kansas in the slime of Republican trea-
son and revolution" The ciamor for n
special session, it says, comes entirely
from Republicans in order to put PoDu-
lists in hole, 10 ''seduce Populists into
calling an extra session and crawl at the
feet of Douglass and his Internal gang. -
We quote what it says about its first OBJ
lection:
But they are at it again, and are re-
inforced by few Populist statesmen
that ought to be in he lunatic ASYLUM or
in the Republican party. Their excuse
Is that settlers in Southwest Kansas are
IN need OF seed wheat. Suppose they
are? Is that a valid reason why a law
less horde should be summoned TO To-
peka and recognized as the legislature of
Kansas: That few may be preserved
from suffering, must tie whole state he
involved in reasonable disgrace: Bet
ter. tenfold better. that these counties
should lie swept of every inhabiiant.
that no living thing be left therin. than
that the state should lie compelled to
bow Ia treason and worship at the shrine
of its dIshonor and disgrace"
Here is its second objection to spe-
cialseSsion, which has more to it than the
first. The first is sample of false pride.
while this latter is boiling over with the
diaholical spirit which seems to inspire
populism in ali its features. The
Populists organized to furnish the
supply, but their effort fell. covered with
ignominious contempt. The diabolism
of the following indicates tina, they
failed to seduce The people OF western
Kansas:
These counties are the black Repub-
iican district of Kansas. The whole re-
sion Is overwhelmingly reopiei by
Republicans OF the most fanaticaI stripe.
We have recently shown that the whole

UTILIZE THE RAINFALL,

The Salina Republican gives the gov
eminent figures showing the amount Of
rainfall ON the plains for a period of
years, from which it is plainly seen that
from the 9Sth meridian TO the 103d there
is a sufficient supply of water every
year to produce abundant crops if it
was properly distributed during the
growing season. From the 99h TO the
l03d meridians, a territory extending
from near Russell, Kan, TO Hugo. Col.
there is sufficient amount of wafer
supply for agricultural purposes if it
was properly distributed during the
growing season. From the 1884 to the
l04th The rainfall falls below the re-
quired amount. If it were possible then
TO distribute this rainfall properly the
plains could raise abundant crops.
But this rainfall is not the only source
Of supply. They have the underflow
which, seemingly, is inexhaustible. but
the ability of the people to utilize it is a
question that demands consideration
and thought. If reservoirs were con.
structcd on the plains and the rainfall
collected and saved it would be sufficient
TO irrigate the whole territory. And if
some method can be discovered by
which this undeItlow can be brought To
the surface the irrigation problem for all
of western Kansas and eastern Colorado
is solved.
And then again, il will not be nee
essary 10 irrigate this entire territory.
Every acre of this soil will not b. wat
cred. Ii will be utilized in different
ways and will not require an artificial
application of water and the water that
falls on the land that does not need it
could be collected in reservoirs and used
for that upon which the crops are
grown. The collection of water in the
reservoirs for irrigation purposes is
practical. 1t is being done in many
parts of the country now. Some means
will vet be developed for utilizing such
rainfall as we have.

ORANGES SMALL AS CHERRIES.
The Golden Fruit Once q Bitter Berry-Its
Great Development.

The Golden Fruit Once q Bitter Berry-Its
Great Development.
The name orange" is from the Lat
in ''aurum,' meaning gold or of golden
color. The fruit was originally a
small, bitter berry, about the size of a
cherry and very seedy. 1t has been
cultivated in Hindostan from very
remote period, and was taken from
that country to Arabia and Persia in
the eighth or ninth centuries.
In the tenth and eleventh centuries,
says the Boston Globe, the horticult-
wrists of Oman, Syria, began the cul-
fruit growing under the name of obi
garade." BY the end of the twelfth
century it had become quite abund-
ant in all the countries of the Levant,
the crusaders bringing it with them
upon their return from Jerusalem.
1t was well known, but not extern
sively cultivated, in Italy, Spain or
France before the middle of the six
teenth century, -four hundred years
after it's introduction into the first
named country, the hindrance being a
survival and an addition to the old
Mahometan tradition, viz: that
the use of the fruit would cause the
partaker to enroll himself with the
legions of Islam whether he desired to
or no.
The Spaniards finally attempted and
succeeded in cultivating it in their
West Indian colonies and from there it
found its way into Florida. Central
America, Mexico, California and Aus
tralia, always improving in size and
flavor until it became what it is to-day.

The opening of the Cherokee strip will
turn large trade into Kansas towns.
One hundred thousand people blowing
and building homes upon the rich acres
of this now wild section, will need all
kinds of supplies for at least year, and
indefinitely for many things that Kansas
can supply more cheaply and promptly
than they can be obtained anywhere
else. That Wichita will receive the bulk
of this trade is proven by the logic of he1
situation: she is in reach of the territory
at zine different points and within two
to live hours, an advantage, to both the
territory and this city, not possessed by
any other point within "a hours travel.

POORER. BUT WISER.

Never was anticipation more COM
| pletely foiled in the realization than in
the settlement of the strip. When we
| consider the great number of homeseek-
ers, the amount Of time consumed in
waiting for the proclamation and the
money expended in preparation, it is
apparent that no small compensation
| would meet the outlay. A large major
| ity were doomed to disappointment by
reason of there being more claimants
than claims The thirty thousand quar-
tiers of land, granting that everyone was
good, could not furnish homes for three
times that number OF families. The pro-
reduced by so much OF the
land being an arid waste and not worth
having. There are rich alluvial valleys
traversing the outlet from east to west,
but it is fair to say, that much of the
western portion is destitute of soil, and
without water supply; hence the man
whofgureS on the chances for obtain
ing home from the map, was liable TO
be disappointed. The result is that the
majority Of The boomers are returning
in disgust, and not in mood to do JUS
tice to the country. This estimate is
stimulated by the prevailing drouth. the
hot winds, scarcity Of water and the alb
surd demands of the government in red
tape orders regulating settlement on
claim. 1t viii long be remembered
by thousands who sought to better their
condition. but on the contrary have con-
sumed their surplus, and in some in
stances their all, to acquire a home at
about current market values for similar
lands in Kansas. Whether it was
through illigitimate advertising or IN
due anxiety to get somethin., for moth
ing on the part Of settlers, it is certain
that the disappointment was owing to
an over estimate OF the country. The
exercise of a little common business
sense might have kept some out of the
mad rush, but sheep-like, the crowd
went pell nell, as if every quarter-sec-
ton was good one and there was just
enough to go around. If there is body
of 5000. 900 acres of good land in body
