Pops Propose To Boycott The Santa
Fee.

The Topeka Advocate, official organ
of the Populist party in this state, is urg-
ing its readers to to get up an organized
boycott of the Santa Fe railroad COM
pany. The Santa Fe employs more men
than any other corporation in the state,
and every man who works on the road,
from track walker to superintendent, is
interested in its success. The more
business, it does, the more dollars in
the pockets of the men, and any one who
seeks to drive business away from it is an
enemy to its employees. When the
leaders of the Populist party propose to
boycott the Santa Fe they are aiming a
direct blow to one Of the most important
branches of labor in the state, to which,
by the way. they have always professed
special friendship. What do the en-
ployes of the Santa Fe in Emporia think
of the scheme? What will they say
about it when they are asked to vote
with the Populists for the mongrel
calamity ticket this fall:-Emp0ria Re-

There are very few men who have any
money on hand who have any distinct
idea what it is. Ask man who has a
hundred dollars in his pocket whether it
is greenbacks or national bank notes and
it is thousand chances to one that he
can not tell. If he has but single bill
in his pocket it is hundred to one that
if he has a national bank note he never
looked to see in what state it was issued.
He does not care. Each dollar in the
country is as good as any other dollar
anywhere in the United States. Our
plan is to favor any action which will
keep the dollars equal and increase their
number as much as possible and to
oppose any action which will break up
this state of things either by reducing the
number Of ballars or rendering any
dollar unequal to any other dollar

The Meade county GLOBES ADVICE to
the farmers in regard to sowing wheat is
this: Do not plant large acreage this
fall as the probabilities are very favor
able for it to be injured or killed by the
winter. Sow only moderate number of
acres and plant the balance of your
ground to corn as early in the spring as
the danger of frost is over. Kansas can
not expect wheat crop next year, but
she will again we predict, raise large
corn crop. Take this for what it is
worth, but please bear it in mind.

An Immense Irrigation Scheme.

A number Of eastern capitalists are in
San Francisco at work on scheme to
reclaim the Colorado desert by turning
the waters of the Colorado river owe,
the vast territory. The company also
has grant of 800, 900 acres in Mexico
that 1t will irrigate.
AS outlined the plan comprehends
the development of the greatest irrigatins
systems in the western hemisphere. AS
an Indication of the good faith of the
promoters they are said to have handed
the Southern Pacific check for 81. 5OO,-
600 in return for its title to the alternate
sections of land in the SaltOn basin.
The Importance Of the project lies in
the fact that the irrigation of so vast a
tract of land will revOlutionize the fruit
industry of the country.
Work will be begun soon, it is said,
and water will be running through the
trenches before the end of next year.
The company expects to have 100000
farmers on its land within few years.
The GLoBE-REPUBLICAN editor has
passed through the Colorado desert
several times. 1t lies on the eastern side
of California near Arizona, and it is a
veritable desert. Gen Fremont at one
time proposed to reclaim this desert by
turning the waters of Colorado river into
it. Much of this land is below the sea
level. Like all the land in the west it is
rich and productive if water is applied.
California is making great moves in its
irrigation schemes. That whole country
before the century closes will be under
irrigation.

The history Of Kansas shows, that in
an early day the entire state was covered
with buffalo grass, but as man plowed
aud pastnred the prairies, the growth of
grass changed from Buffalo to Blue stem,
which covers the greater part of the state,
leaving only this western portion covered
with its coat of nature. This summer
our prairies taken on its self new forms
of grass. In some parts of the county
Blue-stem is growing, while all over the
gramma grass is seen. Men are moving
hay in places. Is the change that
transformed the eastern part of the state
into one vast hay producing field taking
place here? And is the day not far
distant when our farmers can quit plant
ing forage plants. and use their time and
strength for other crops more profitable
to raise? We think 1t is, and ut no dis
lant day the click of the mower will be
heard in the land, and the stocks of
prairie hay will loom up over the prairie.

The rlrmor is abroad that Chicago
syndicate is about to be formed for the
manufacture of bicycles at a rate much
lower than the prices which are now
asked. The extraordinary demand for
wheels has not reduced their cost, which
is beyond the reach of many people.
The new company with which the Stude-
bakers will be connected, proposes to
turn out wheels for $50 each as good in
every way as those which now sell for
$40 AMI 500. As the bicycle seems to
have come to stay, and is rapidly be-
coming the most popular method of
transit. the proposition to make it
cheaper will be warmly welcomed by the
public.-k. G.. Star.

Atciiison Globe: Western Kansas is
reasonably certain of Il big wheat crop
next year, and blowing is now in pro-
gress for it. The present summer has
been unprecedented in the matter of
rainfall, and the ground is in good con-
dition. The wheat fields which yielded
little or nothing last year have become
fields IF sunflowers. and these are now
being plowed under. They are covered
entirely. and soon decay and fertilize the
ground. Farmers remember that before
their LIST big wheat crop they plowed
under Sunflowers, but there was not as
much rain rs there has been this summer.

Ed. Howe's Philosophy.

A good many church people think
more of doctrine than of religion.
A railroad company makes just as
much off a corn crop whether it sells at
so or Is cents bushel.
At last accounts the woman who
started the shirt waist fashion, had more
followers than the Lord.
There is one thing to the credit of the
devil: he never at any time did business
in his wife's name.
When you hear man saying that he
did SO and so for man, who did not
appreciate Ii, he probably lies. People
never fail to appreciate kind act.
If You want to make woman mad
don't look at her face which she has
fixed up for inspection, but at her feet
which she has probably neglected.
