THE Kansas statistics, as well as
those of Illinois, Iowa; Michigan
and other states, show that there
are alternating ram and dry cycles
Of seven years in the duration, says
the Topeka Capital. 1896 Prof
Snow will have pursued his investi-
cations for twenty-eight years; or
four full cycles. How much the
rainfall has increased in Eastern
Kansas, largely by reason of the
breaking of the soil, since 1867 is
shown by comparing the first thir-
teen years with the last thirteen.
In the first period, 1S6S-6O, the total
rainfall was 1924 inches, or 34.84
inches per annum. In the last per-
iod, 1898, the rainfall aggregated
484.88 inches, or 80 80 inches per
annum. There was an average in
crease, therefore, of q inches per
aDnum, or 30 inches for the thirteen
years. According to the theory Of
seven-year cycles, 1894 will be a,
year of small rainfall in Kansas, as
was 1893. The distribution, how
ever, has a greater effect upon the
yield Of crops than the total volume
Of precipitation. In 1874 and 1875
the rainfall was precisely the same,
yet there was a crop failure in the
first year and a good yield in the
other The very small precipitation
this winter argues for at least a fair
precipitation in the spring and sum-
mer. It is matter of demonstrated |
fact and of universal interest that
the distribution of the rainfall in
Kansas is generally favorable. New

Of eleven inches in the winter and
jhirty-three in the spring, summer.

inches; Kansas, with a total precip-

LIZ the democratic party, which
will oppose woman suffrage in Kan
sas, would only employ Mrs. Lease
and keep her prominently before the
public until next November, they
might defeat the proposed amend
ment to the constitution. No diff
erence, for or against whom she is
kept in the field, the result will be
the same. The living example is
what will do the work. lie woman
suffrage is defeated at the polls this
fall it will be principally on account
of the disgust created by such
women as Mrs. Lease.

LIZ Mr.. Tully Scott really wants
to know why he is treated so badly
by this administration. we think we
can inform him. Three years ago,
when he was nominated by the
democrats Of the Sixth district for
congress, he proceeded with his can
vas as far as Hays City. Up to
that moment he was considered a
high-toned politician with principles
by both friend and foe alike After
delivering a straightout democratic
speech in the opera house he walked
back to the hotel and wrote slump
ing letter Of withdrawal, urging his
party to abandon democratic prin-
ciples and support the vagaries of
old Bill Baker. That is the record
filed away in Cleveland's pigeon-hole
down there at Washington. See?

read the contempt this administra-
ton holds for fusioniSt.- Sentinel. |

J.. A. SMITH, of Kansas City,
Kansas, wrote an open letter to
Lewelling this week in which ne
not only charges the governor with
bribery, but goes Mrs. Lease one
better by making specified charges.
Smith claims that an agreement was
made with Pete Kline whereby a
police board favorable to his gam
bling houses was to be appointed in
Kansas City, and that in return
Kline was to pay to the governor
$4,000. Another consideration for
this agreement was that the COM
missioners should close up the gam
bling houses that were run In OPP
position to Kline's. When news of
this agreement was made public
the opposition gamblers offered the
governor $4,000 a month for a priv
lege of running and that this
amount has been paid regularly
ever since. Smith also claims that
Breidenthal was offered $4,000 fol-
his influence but refused the offer

Our attention was specially directed
to this subject several years ago and
we have been verifying the state
ment then made, by a careful OBJ
server when opportunity offered
ever since. It was to the effect that
in nine cases out of ten where the
county paper was not weekly visi-
tor in the home, the family was be-
low the average in intelligence.
This we believe to be true and upon
consideration we do not consider it
remarkable. 1t is only by reading
that we can hope to be informed
upon topics Of interest in our county,
and the easiest way to excite an in
terest in the minds of the children
is to furnish them, first, with neigh
boring news. Children will read a
county paper treating of objects and
individuals with which they are con-
versant and familiar, when they
could not be interested in the peru
sal of metropolitan newspapers. The
mind grows, the habit of reading
becomes fixed, and the transition
from the home paper to the daily,
and from that to some Of the many
meritorious magazines becomes easy
and natural. The habit once con-
frmed and it is not difficult to fore
tell that the child will grow into a
useful, intelligent citizen. On the
other hand, if the home paper is not
read in the family, yellow backed

boy or girl who becomes devoted te
this kind of literature will seldom
voluntarily, read anything that is Of
real value to them. The family
which reads its home paper invari,
ably supplements it with other liter
ature. They become interested IL
politics, in religion, in affairs Of
state and when grown up, the child

their community. If your home

What s0entlemen" Are Permls-
ted to Do In Europe.


There are many things which it ap
pears gentleman may do nowadays
in Europe without incurring the loss Of
his right to that designation by society
or forfeiting what the latter regards as
his honor" says writer in The New
York Tribune Thus he may avoid
paying his creditors, provided they are
tradespeople or friends, who, Instead Of
being content with his plightod word,
have accepted the additional security Of
a promissory note. Indeed, the passing
of any paper between creditor and
debtor is held TO remove the obligation
from the list of debts Of honor and
places it among the ss-called Grades
mems debts, the nonpayment Of which
involves no loss of ''gentilhommerie"
or of honor" Debts Of honor, that
is to say, loans based merely upon YER
bal obligations and bets, must be paid
at all cost, according to the ethics gov
ernirg the ''code of honor" even if
the debtor has to obtain the money by
means of methods which verge not
only upon the dishonorable, but even
on the criminal. 1t issfor this reason
that we sometimes hear of young men
going to the length of stealing their
mothers jewels or forging the name of
their nearest and dearest relatives, as
did the eldest son of an English peer
the other day, for the sake of paying
their debts of honor, failing which,
they can no longer hope to retain the
social status of q gentleman One has
heard of men committing suicide, like
young Count Alloys Hsrdegg a few
weeks since at Vienna, and the last
marquis of Hastings, years ago in Lon
don, because they were unable to pay
their debts Of honor" but one has
never heard of gentleman taking
his own life because he could not pay
his tailor.

tails above everything else the forfeit
ure of the title of gentleman and of
all honor is unfair play At cards; and
it is no secret that the majority of the
great families in Europe would inf
nitelv prefer to have a'murderer among
their relatives than a man convicted Of
the offense which resulted in the So
cial ostracism Of Sir William Gordon
Cumming, Of the'duke of Roxsburghss
son-in-law, George Russell, and Of
Maj ", Hon. Walter Harbord. brother
of Lord Sufield. These perhaps are
the principal things which . gentle
man" and "a man of honor may and
may not do according to the tenets of
old world society. The lstter may be
summed up in brief as the payment Of
debts of honor, reticence with regard
to all affairs de occur" and playing
fairly at cards. Provided . man does
not break these three commandments
he may commit every other sin with
IMMUNITY, and if only he be of gentle
birth his shortcomings will be regard
