to Camden friends.
Mr.. W. A. Frazier left for Cam

a week or two-Lexington Demo-

The Sunday school convention
Of the Lexington district Of the

be held July 81 and %, embracing
Sunday.
THE CHRONICLE heartily eDdors-
es the suggestion made by our Su-
gar Tree correspondent for a meet
ing of the Democracy of Decatur
and Benton counties, and we want
tho opinion of our candidates on
the subject.
While little has been said about
the matter, it is generally under.
stood there will be a full opposition
ticket make up of Republicans and
Populists. Democratsshouldm make
a note of this and govern them
selves accordingly.
Mr.. James II. Kee has reported
the first cotton blooms to this Office,
samples of which were gathered
July 3. He also reported 80 heads
of 800 grains Of wheat, the product
of one grain of the Fulcaster vari-

At one time it seems that the
great strike of railroad employees
} in the North and West would lead
to serious and complicated results,
there was more hopeful feeling
yesterday, and it is now thought
that the crisis has passed.
An old-fashioned barbecue and
bran dance will be given on Eagle
> Creek, 2 miles east of Coxburgh,
Saturday, July 81. The candidates

About o'clock she had 100 men,

coke yard, This region has seen many
savage affairs In which women I'M
aexcd themselves by dands Of cruel
violence but the old timers say that
never before has there been such a

Martins Warning.

The Pops are evidently getting
scared and are cndcavoring to
brighten the self-respecting Democrats
into line by threats, seeing that they
cannot win them otherwise. Senator
Martin has received his warning
through State Printer Shows paper
which speaks for the administration
as follows:
Martin bases his hopes on continu-
ance Of Democratic balance OF power
in the Legislative bodies and the re-
Gprocal animosities Of Republicans
and Populsts to be sufficient to elect
him. We want to tell him now that
he is a woefully mistaken man. No
debased bushwhacker who goes down
into the infamy on which this Over
meyer ticket is based and conducted
will ever be allowed to capture the
plum. We are not attempting to is
sue threat, but simply giving a
straight tip. The next United States
senator will either be a man friendly
to the reelection of Governor Lewcll-
ing as governor or he will be an out

Time to Repudiate.

Referring to the scandalous charges
concerning the Lewelling outfits con-
nection with the Kansas City, Kas.,
lotteries and the bride taking directly
charged and not denied, the Kansas
City Times scathingly says:
The people Of Kansas can no longer,
in justice to themselves, remain
silent. 1t is not alone those residents
Of the cities that are dcbauched in
their morals and robbed in order to
enrich the most disgraceful coterie OF
official plunderers ever combined to
perpetrate crime, that are concerned.
The good name Of the State has been
sacrificed, the integrity and morality
Of the people are brought into suspi-
cion and every man who has self
respect and a feeling Of pride in the
good reputation of the men and
women Of Kansas should unite in a
mighty purpose Of turning those at
rocious criminals out Of the places
they have prostitutcd, 1t is no longer

What the Drouth Has Taught.

There is every reason to believe
that the almost unparalleled drouth
Of the last summer will eventually
prove to have been a blessing to Kan
sas. For several years the growth of
western Kansas has been rapid be-
yond compare. So great has been
the rush for homes that many have
located on farms outside the confines
Of what the students of climatic
changes are pleased to term the rain
belt. The result has been seen in the
hundreds of white topped prairie
schooners that have taken their east
ward way through Abilene during the
past two months.
But not only has the much dis
cussed "western third" been afflicted.
This summers drouth has taught the
people that all parts Of the State are
liable to suffer from the lack OF rain.
For several years irrigation has been
discussed in desultory sort Of way,
save that in two or three extreme
western counties irrigation bitches
have been constructed. The lands
under these bitches have proved the
benefits Of the system, and now irri-
CATION is being discussed with an
ardor that promises great results.
The lack Of work for those who must
have 1t or eat the bread Of charity has
led several counties to discuss the ad-
visibility Of issuing irrigation bonds
for two-fold purpose-to give en-
ployment to the needy and to insure
crops in the future. Should that be
done, all winter the work will pro-
coed, and next summer thousands of
acres will become productive that
have heretofore been parched and
brown. The impetus given by the
drouth to the irrigation movement
bids fair to soon place Kansas in the
front rank Of irrigated states, and
then good crops and good times will
be certain.
The lesson has been a costly one,
but perhaps 1t has been worth all it
cost.

A revision Of the popular idea that
a Populist official will lie about any
thing must be made. Attorney Gen
eral Little said that loaning his pass
was "too little a thing to lie about
and so he admitted 1t. The circum-
stances leave it in doubt whether It
was the size Of the incident or the
fact that it was already proved on
him that made him truthful. 1t may
however be considered hereafter that
he will lie only about important mat
