JOHN j. INGALLS,, writing about Kan
sas in Harper's Monthly for April says
that " the present wealth of Kansas, real
and personal, reaches the astounding
aggregate of nearly seventeen hundred
millions of dollars" 1t is large sum;
but the wealth of seventeen men as rich
as was Jay Gould-and that number
can probably be found in the United
States to-day-would equal it. AT the
present rate of progress it will not be
long before there will be enough of
these multi-millionaires to own state
apiece. Much of this wealth will exist
in the form of big corporations-mo-
nopolized industries-and farm mort
cages. Young menl this is what your
country seems to be coming to, in a
very few generations. Wake upi Drop
narrow party politics, and study the So
cial and political conditions which
threaten American institutions.

be in the hands of, and could be very
profitably possessed by, the owner of

since we now have a delicious, thrifty
and productive grape which ripens per
fectly, even in the short seasons of
Northeastern Vermont We refer to
the "Green Mountain Grape" other
wise known as the "Winchell." We
have had it in bearing for three sea-
sons, and find it to perfectly mature its
large and handsome clusters early in
September. By the aid of this little
book, written by Horticultural Profess
sor Bailey, of Cornell University, any
one can so train vine or vineyard of

in favor Of these plans in a letter TO the Hon.

ing blast at Gov. Flower yesterday:

We have been ungenerously critised. OF

been But l have never stated to any ono that

nominees for Lunacy Commissioners. Messrs.
Brown and Reeves. think I have to admit.
however. that l have never said that I would
vote for them. but the injustice in SO far as
the criticisms made have applied to me has
been In the fact that tho only inference that
could be drawn from my position was that I
was opposing Brown and Reeves because
they had criticised the management OF tho
Poughksepsie hospital for tho insane. This Is
not SO: II there has been any wrongdoing by
any OF the employees from the superintendent
down in the Poughksspsie hospital there is no
that some good work has been lone By the
method rather than to the purpose, The
there was no talk about an investigation Of the
Hudson River Hospital until after IL had been
alleged that tho nominations OF Brown and
Reeves were hung up in the Senate: then. 1
say, came the talk OF investigation. and. while
may be wrong. I.cannot help but feel that the
