Ham, Smoked, but Juicy.

The Orole Club certainly made no
mistake when Col. Ham, of Georgia,
was selected to deliver humorous
lecture here, to open the series of four
entertain nents. Col. Ham was greeted
with an appreciative and attentive au-
dience, and his lecture was not only
equal to but beyond the expectations of
his hearers. Through all his happy vein
sober, steady undercurrent of his
thought which carried out his aim and
object to better mankind by showing
up the ''snOIlygoster'-th brassv, I'M
scrupulous, incompetent, and unwhole
some element that too often forces itself
to the front in all classes of society
social, political, religious or financial
to the disgrace of honest manhood and
decentralization of all that is good and
noble in advanced thought or effort.
He would charm the attention of his
audience with glowing. grand flight
of rhetoric. and In the silent hush OF
breathless attention he would drop a
word or sentence of Georgia Cracker
humor that would open daughters
! floodgates and make the walls ring with
merriment and applause. The lecture
was indeed treat. and we hope that
some day we may again hear the emf
nent speaker.

SHALL IT BE EARLY.

1t is stated that the democratic state
central committee will be called to-
gether early in February to prepare a
call for state convention to nominate
| candidats for state offices.
Shall it be an early convention? is
the question that is being discussed by
democrats generally, and is question
also of great Importance to the party.
We believe that the democrats of the
state generally are already fixed in their
opinions on the question. and that each
state central committeeman can inform
himself, by small effort, as to what
the democrats of his district desire in
that direction.
Let each state central committee
man make such effort; ascertain the
sentiment of the democrats in his dis
trict, and go to the committee meeting
prepared to represent the wishes Of his
constituency. Let us have no cut-and-
dried plans, arranged by a few leaders
cry locality of the state; but rather a
comparison of notes and opinions. from
every district.
Let there be no pickering or chafing
uniting of the party for the general good
of its principles and the furtherance of
good government.
There has been too much brash talk
,fo f,>r l,o 70
for the good of the party; too much
'getting even," and also too much at
tempted bossism.
Democracy stands for free thought.
free speech and free people; but its fol-
lowers should not fail TO remember that
the rule of the La. a"ity should always
govern, and that u. by remaining
true to this theory can a. party hope
to build itself up, to win converts to its
faith, and become strong in the land
for eventual good.
The plan Of an early meeting of the
committee is all right; let the question
of whether OR not we shall have az
early state convention be settled by the
members of that committee with al
understanding of the wishes of the
voters, and not by simple compliance
with the wishes of a few assumed lead
ers who, too often, are utterly unin
formed as to the wishes and opinions o.
the masses. In other words let oul
state central committee act as DEMO
CRATS-not as fusiOnists, straightouts
kickers, GXers Or bosses.
Every member Of the committee
ought to be present in person or send {
representative who will faithfully rep
resent the wishes of his local demo
Gratis. And the local democrats have
also duty they should perform, an6
that is to discuss the matter in HAND
among themselves and with their com
mitteemen. Every democrat SHOULD
quit PLAYING at politics and go t.
talking and WORKING politich.

Hard to CONQUER.

There's the girl who's stuck on fenc-

art of self defence;
There's the girl who's good at riding
and the girl who takes to striding
oyer leagues of dale and mountain
with energy intense;
There's the girl who worships rowing
and the one who's fond of showing a
workmanship astonishing in a per-

There's the girl who's always ready
with nerve both true and steady
when woeful dangers threaten or
difficulties vex:
But despite the manly carriage and the
open scorn of marriage, which the

GREAT CROP.
H. s. Hinman Tells What He Thinks OF
Alfalfa


1.-The man who makes two blades OF
grass grow where but one grew before
is public benefactor,= said NJ. S. Hin
mau yesterday. land it is mystery
to me that here, in s )uthW estern Kan
sas, where animal food is the import
ant question with the farmer, there Is
not more attention paid to the develop
ment of crop that, more than any
other crop, our soil and climate are
adopted to supply this want
This year, for lack of seasonable
rain, our wheat crop is failure.
From the same cause We have light
crop of oats and corn is dethroned
king from the same often recurring
and unavoidable reason.
Our part of the state is almost ex-
clusively dependent for its prosperity
on the success of the farming interests.
Our manufactures and all other in
dustrial interests are a bagatelle IN
comparison with this great occupation
and yet, We go on from year to year In
the same old way, planting our wheat
oats and corn and trusting to the
vicissitudes of the weather and the
seasons for the success Of our expert
ment in which not only the farmer is
interested, put almost equally every
resident of the state.
1T is the province of the newspaper
lo Of re
everything that effects the public wei
fare, and through the press, by better
informed men and able pens this great
and vital question can be discussed
until the subject shall have the atten-
tion its Importance demands.
Il have never raised d stock of al
falfa but men who have done so, sue
cessfully, for years, have told the
public through your columns, what
they have done. One Sedgwick county
farmer received over $50 per acre for
his alfalfa crop of 80 sold for hay to
a livery stable in this City. Did any
farmers realize any such returns from
any other crop? Another farmer in
this county put his crop into hogs and
realized proportionate return. Did
any SedgwiCk county farmer receive
$50 per acre for his corn crop of '92?
If we had been blessed with abund-
ant and seasonable rain this year we
would have had an immense crop of
corn. Had this been the case and had
every acre of corn yielded sixty bushels
at the market price it would haye
Melted less than $40 per acre after all
their labor required to raise, harvesI
and market it, while alfalfa would
have beaten it so per cent whether il
rained or not.
The same thing is true of oats and
wheat except that the percentage is
more largely against the latter two
crops than corn.

should be with alfalfa, but a large
percentage to insure a profitable years

IT SEEMS strange to see farmers come
into Great Bend and buy cabbage,
are doing almost daily. Need they do
it? Some do not, and still have plenty
of such vegetables every year. Why
not put up wind mill. prepare small
garden patch, put water on it when
water is most needed, and raise your
own supply of vegetables. Will IL not
pay better than putting all your time
and attention to wheat, selling it at a
low price and buying vegetables at a
high price from Colorado where the
farmers raise them by irrigation?
