WALTON, KANSAS, Aug. 22nd.-Pass-
ing from Turon TO Arlington. the corr
fields were in fair condition, though some
will make only fodder. The failure was
more for want of cultivation than drouth.
Wheat was more than half a crop. Stacks
were numerous in all directions.
Observation-Disclosures Arlington and
this city are the best crops on the route.
Corn is DARK green, and the big ears on
the vigorous stalks are almost enough to
give Ford county man an attack of
cholera morbus. Wheat was good, and
an abundance of forage crops. Or
chards and vineyards heavily laden With
fruit. Vegetables in abundance. Cab
bage selling at about l cent per pound,
grapes to cents, and apples 50 to 90

Mcdowell and Bradbeer. farmers

Mcdowell and Bradbeer, farmers liv-
ing near Garden City, are this week har.
vesting G40 acres of broom corn which
will give 2l3 tons. They have con-
tracted to sell it at s75 ton, which will
give them nearly $4,000. Besides their
broom corn they have large acreage OF
alfalfa, which will likely increase their
income to over $4,000. They had the
section of land mentioned sowed to
wheat last fall, but when it set in dry
last spring, they plowed it up and plant
ed it to broom corn, with this result.
The land from which they take 800, 900
in Que year, cost them less than $1,000.

Wilson's district is composed of fifteen
counties up in the mountains of West
Virginia, and the entire fifteen put to-
gether have fewer factories within. their
limits than are to be found in half an
hours walk about the streets of any of
our large cities. Wilson himself has as
little interest in the activities of indus

pore over the pages of forgotten lore
than listen to the hum of thousand
spindles, and sit alone under his study
lamp than mingle in the busy throng.

of the nation has been intrusted.- Henry

From the Kansas City Journal.
The house will accept the Presidents
thanks for passing the Wilson bill, but
most of the members will expect some
thing good deal more substantial.
Senator voorhees, is pushing repeal in
the senate with a vigor which shows that
he doesn't mean to remain under any
obligation to the president for appoint
ing his brother-in-law minister to Den
mark.
1t would seem that democracy has
made the country suffer enough, but it
hasn' fairly got started yet. Wait till
the tariff reform mill begins to grind out
taxed sugar, taxed coffee, taxed tea,
etc.
1t is at times like these when dema-
gogues of the VOORHEES, stripe get up in
the senate and beich forth their balder-
dash that the public regrets with some
acuteness the absence of John James In
gals and his polished hide peeler from
the national capital.
An old soldier out in Kansas put it
very aptly when he said that if the pen
sion list had to be sifted he didn't want
it to be done through ii Confederate
sieve.

While the Kansas wheat yield for 1888
is great disappointment, there is plenty
of wheat for food and seed and consid-
cradle for export. 1t is worth mention
ing, moreover, that this is the first fail
ure TO raise large crop since wheat be-
came an important crop of western Kan
sas. 1t was only three or four years ago
that the corn experiments in the dry belt
gave place TO wheat. Since 1888 the
area in wheat has increased rapidly.
The crop in that year was less than Il
million bushels ut a large yield per acre;
the next year il was over 80 million at
an enormous yield per acre; in 1890 it was
% millions; in 1891 twice as much or
over IS millions, aud in 1892 it beat all
records for any state with AZ million
bushels. From 1888 to 1892 the wheat
area of the state increased from a little
over one million acres to as much over
four millions. The three years from 1885
TO 1887 inclusive were bad, their com
bined yield being less than half the crop
of last year. From 81 10 '93 the yield
was good every year.-Topeka Capital.

SILVER AT 70 CENTS.

Will silver at 20 cents pay to mine:
This is the question that is agitating
many Rocky mountain mind at present,
not only those dependent upon the min
ing industry for a livelihood, but upon
the business community in general whose
trade depends much upon the miner
Seventy cents per ounce for silver is
fixed upon as the guage in the matter be-
cause the best judges appear to believe
that this is to be somewhere near the
popular price of the white metal for some
time to come.
As for New Mexico we believe this price
will justify the operation of the silver
mines, and there are extensive properties
in Colorado, at Creole, Aspen, Leadville,
Silverton and other prominent points
that may also continue work next spring
and summer, although for tho present
winter they will suffer some.
1t is New Mexicos climatic properties
and the happy combination of silver with
other precious metals that will enable
New Mexico to get along at this figure.
Here the ability of the mining fraternity
to prosecute their labors throughout the
whole year, and the fact that gold, copper
and lead are more or less found in con-
junction with silver, should encourage
the mining industry in the face of the cry
of hard times from other mining states.
