HERE'S RICHNESS.

The Weekly Press (Rep) Of Kan
sas City, Kss., August "a, has the
following editorial which we are
sure our readers will enjoy. No doubt
everyone will be glad to see repub-
licaus repentinR Of their sins, but it
is best to adopt the good old MethO-
dust practice respecting them and
take them for a while on probation
before admitting them to full fellow
ship Of the saints. The people Of
Kansas City will do wall to give Mr..
Oubbison an opportunity to prove
the genulneness of his conversion
before they send him back TO the leg
islature. Here is the editorial:
There is some feeling against the nomi-
nation Of ]. z. CubbiSon for representative
in the Tenth district. This comes from q
few disappointed sspirants for the place
and q good many Well-dispOsed citizens.
They say that Mr.. OubbiSon, when mem

passage of the gambling bill.

Now think of the diSboliCsl iniquity
of this scheme. These notes were
created by congress to take the place
of gold and silver buried in the Wall
street vaults. It was paid to the SOL
der for service in the field, to the
widow and orphan children of the
slain, to those who furnished food
and clothing and munitions Of war to
the army and navy, and to oil cred
itors Of the government, one class ex-
cepted, at par. That class, the hold
ers of government bonds, could alone
demand gold payment; and Mr.
Sherman coolly tells us that the cur
rency which all classes Of people save
this one we're compelled to receive at
par, dollar for dollar, was purposely
deprecated for the sole purpose Of
making it purChssable by these self
same Wall street pirates at q discount
in order to make it an object to them
to buy the bonds. And this is the
republican legislation of which Mr..
Dawes and the balance of his gang
are so proud. If the devil don't gel
the crowd that is responsible fol
such legislation, then there is no use
to have q devil at all.

The political dilemma in Kansas,
in the eyes Of republicans, has the
usual number of horns-two. The
friends Of the corporations hope to
get a majority of the lower house or
else elect Morrill, governor. In the
former case they could prevent the
passing of any legislation, and in the
second they would have the vetoing
and appointing power. Ia either
case the republicans would be su-
premely happy. Whoever fails to
comprehend the awful truth Of this
is too ignorant to live in Kansas.

A Republican Soldiers Opinion Of Governor
Altgeld.

Altgeld.
EDITOR Your issue Of
August 20 contained an interesting ar
ticle pertaining to Governor Algeld's
investigation concerning the terrible
distress and Sufferings of the unem-
ployed wage-workers at Pullman, I'll.
Those who are in opposition, the CAPT
talists and monopolists, may call the
governor an anarchist, q disloyalist,
or a what not, but every lover Of right
and justice must agree that he is for
the welfare Of the people who are op-
pressed by the iron heel of tyranny.
How plainly the governor gave the
representatives of the Pullman COM
pany to understand that he did not
want to see any of them, but, on the
other hand, he wanted to have an in
terview with the representatives of
the working people, in order to ascer-
tain the true situation of affairs, in
which he had no trouble, and without
doubt found out all the facts that were
too true so far as the starving poor
we're concerned. How thoughtful and
cOnsiderate was the anarchist governor
to 60 to the city of Pullman, individu-
ally, and to thoroughly Investigate the
full trouble and distress Of the people,
without sending a substitute or repre-
sentative in his stead. How well he
knew that if he sent an understrspper
there was such thing as being feasted
and all the good things Of this world
given to him, and little bribe other.
wise interspersed, and when the inVes-
tigation was completed it would be
falsely written, and the reading pub
lie would gulp down false report
from beginning to end.
Mr.. Editor, am not with you polit-
ically, nevertheless, am well pleased
with your dash and spirit in cutting
every official who is addicted to fraud,
and also every corporation and COM
bine that are corrupt and dishonest.
And when public official is found un-
worthy to serve the people retire him
to the shades Of oblivion for all time.
This should be done irrespective of
party politics.
notice that you refer that E. N.
Morrill, defeated the service pension
bill, yet you do not say in what way he
did it. My understanding was and is
that Major Morrill, concluded that the
American people were not prepared to
receive such measure at that time,
and that the next best bill that could
be enacted was the disability bill, act
of June 27, 1890. However, we must
give him credit for being the main in
stigator of causing thousands to be
pensiOned that now would not be were
it not for his energy in putting through
said bill. 1 have the honor of being

rattening AnImaIs on Grass.

Large numbers Of animals are every
year fattened on grass, being turned
out in May Or June, and sold off when
fattened in the fall. This grass feed
is also right when at its best but at
either end it needs to be supple
mented with grain feeding, as does
also the feed of cows at pasture. So
long as the grass is immature a con-
siderable amount of grain will be
eaten daily. There should be a grain
ration also when the pasture fails in
the fall, and especially if it is sup
plemented by fodder corn cut before 1t
is mature enough to come in tassel. A
little grain feed in summer will go
farther in fattening any kind of stock
than a much larger amount in
winter.

Farm Notes.

WHITE clover is excellent for fill
ing up bare places on grass plots, as
it will grow and thrive where other
grasses will fall, but it prefers a rich
soil that contains lime.
THE farmer is his own employer,
and does not have to go or come at
the beck of anyone else. This is
worth remembering when you are
figuring up the advantages and dis
advantages of the occupation.
THE Lima bean has been so called
for hundred years, and, as its name
indicates, seems the have first been
known in South America The COM
mon kidney bean seems to have first
been known to the ancient Peru
