A RAILROAD CHANGE.
Receiver Trumbull Secures Control of tn e
Road From Denver to JuIesburg.

DENVER, Colo, April 13.-Receiver
Frank Trumbull has secured control of
the Gulf road from Denver to JuIesburg,
and this branch will now be controlled
by the Gulf system.
The change is important in view of
the fact that neither the Gulf line nor
the branch is of value without the oper-
alton of the other, and also that the
Union Pacific had contemplated aban-
doning the branch.
This arrangement makes the Gulf road
a competitor for direct eastern business.
Arrangements have been made for joint
stations, switching and repair shops.

A writer in comparing the relative
success of merchants and farmers says:
I'VE are continually meeting with peo-
pie who sold out farms to go into bust
ness, only to wish themselves back in
the slow but sure way of agriculture.
A higher appreciation of farming as an
occupation by all classes of society, and
a more vigorous prosecution of it as
the only substantial basis of prosperity
will be the outcome of the worlds eX-
pertinent of commercial depsession;
and so that which affects other callings
unfavorably will be actually beneficial
to this one by disclosing its immovahle
stability and the dependence of every
thing else upon it. We survey ouI
broad acres with their illimitable re-
sources, and rejoice to think that we
have a safe investment in a bank OF
earth which will never break nor cease
declaring dividends from now till the

has hinted-they never made more
serious mistake in all their short life.
If the populist party of Kansas re-
fuses to recognize the honest intention
of Kansas democrats: if they persist in
asserting that the Kansas democratic
party has gone out of business-capti-
waited by the alluring charms OF Mollie
Lease and the stunning glory of ex-
Gen1 Artz-they place themselves
in the same position of the republicans,
that of bitter enemies TO democracy,
and may expect no aid, encourage
ment, or assistance in the coming state
election.
Democrats have made concessions to
popuiists time and again. It may be
we'll for populists to consider that fair
ness in politics will win at all times
and that they should be willing to
recognize the good intentions of Kan
sas democrats by supporting democratic
candidates where there is no show for
populist success.

Jerusalem Corn,

At recent meeting of the Farmer
institute of Finney county resolution
was adopted changing the name of
Jerusalem corn" to Bailey corn.' in
honor of the late Judge L. d. Bailey
who first introduced the variety into
Kansas. The story of the introduction
of Jerusalem corn" into the state is
brief but interesting. a missionary
returning from the Holy Land brought
with him some grains of native corn
and in his conversation with Judge
Bailey at his home in Garden City said
the corn would grow better in the des
ert than anywhere else. He gave
Judge Bailey two grains, which were
planted. The harvest was four ears of
corn. Two years later a neighbOr of
Judge Bailey's experimental with ten
acres planted with the corn. The sea-
son was one of the dryest ever known
in the state. Half the field was irri-
gated and half left unwatered. The
corn on the irrigated land grew twelve
feet high, but was unfruitful, while the
corn on the unwatered land yielded
forty bushels to the acre. This variety
of corn is now one of the staple pro
auctions of western Kansas 1t is moi
only used for fatteuing stock. but is
ground into meal and used extensively
by the people. Judge Bailey, after
whom the corn has been named, wa:

that small colonies are forming to

that people can better their conditions
