boyant tone of a political neophyte
who stakes the whole chance Of So
cial and economic amelioration upon
the rise Of a new party which is as

Lewelling assumes that all Of the

mainly are the outgrowth Of mis-
government and that the only cure
inheres in the new organization
which arraigns both of the old par
ties as false to duty and unworthy

ciated with those intermittent move
ments which appear in this country

start out to make everything new,

has proved that the forces of nature

are not wholly fashioned by the ac-

The following is an extract from
the Osborne Farmer referring to a
communication which appeared in
the WORLD of December 31st:
In the meantime the legislature
of 1891, in the spirit Of retrenching,
not on the plane of right, but of
safety from punishment, reduced
the salary of the Forestry commits
sioner from $1,000 to $500 per an
mum, and cut down the other items
IN the Forestry budget to extremes
at once unreasonable and disgust
ing. 1t followed, as a result utterly
unavoidable, that not much of a
commissioner could be had for the
new salary, and that his work must
be neglected.
These stations should be made a
great boon to western Kansas.
Their policy and her development
lie along the same route. It is per-
haps not impossible. even after all
the ignorance and neglect which
characterize the management of
these stations for nearly the last
four years, to enlist the attention of
the approaching Legislature to the
desirability of restoring the salary
of the commissioner to 81, 200 a
year, and appropriating for each
station $1,000 or $1,000 year for
the next two years. This would
mean a competent commissioner,
the re-adoption of business methods
in the propagation and distribution
Of trees aud the line of experiment.,
and a general re-awakening of the
spirit which pervaded the work of
the first two years. The Farmer
undertakes now to assert that il. the
representatives from the counties of
Trego and Ford will this winter
throw into the work of restoring
these stations to their primitive
viQor one half of the zeal which
bronght about the passage of the
law creating them, success will
crown their efforts.
Western Kansas should hold these
