KANSAS COWS AND CHICKENS.

A gentleman who has recently been
through western Kansas, was telling
us. the other day, that he has since

age to get along there, in spite of re-
peated crop failures. He says they
live on their COWS and their chickens.
When crops fail that furnish food for
man, there is seldom a total failure
of certain grasses, which have an abun-
dance of seeds. The cattle usually
manage to pull through on the forage.
while the chickens thrive and keep fat
On the seeds. He says that the peo-
pie of eastern Kansas have no con-
ception of the vast number of chickens
in western Kansas. Not only 90 they
supply food for the people, but every
little town has its poultry and egg
houses, which buy and ship immense
quantities, by which means the people
manage to procure money TO buy nee
essarics that they cannot produce.

TWO KANSAS FARMERS

struggling with poverty. He is in
debt as a rule. Again he is dis

His buildings and fences are out OF

But there IS another Kansas farmer.

SO numerous that one can't drive five

brethren he struck the state a poor

Secrets of Newspap ers.

The Californian: 1t seems to be a
| common impression that the newspa-
per is public institution upon which
| everybody has a claim, some right TO
say in it's management, or to kick if
| its policy does not suit them. For that
reason a newspaper is constantly sub
| jected to demands that are unreason-
| able and unjust
| Few people have an adequate idea
what it costs to run newspaper in an
ordinary country town. The failure to
appreciate this. and to grasp the bust
ness relation which the editors enter
prise sustains to other enterprises. ex-
plains the large number Of newspaper
failures that are recorded and the vast
amount of money annually sunk in the
business:
The city paper does business on strict
business principles. and is therefore
able to be prosperous and TO live in its
own home on a front street.
When you enter its office the first
thing visible is the business manager
with his clerks at the cash counter.
The editor and his assistants are in a
remote back room or on the third floor.
The day of the business manager in the
country newspaper Office is also coming
and when it does come the local news
paper will occupy a place il long since
earned-that of an independent and
profitable business enterprise
When the time comes, the man who
wants a notice printed in the news
paper for his personal benefit or to ad-
vance his private interest, will pay for
it just as he pays the merchant for his
goods.
The boarding house keeper who
wants the paper to notify the public
that he has moved 10 another street,
will be chaged regular rates for the no.
tice, just as he charges the boarders
for their meals.
The subscriber who pays for one copy
of the paper regularly will not expect
a few extra copies free occasionally
when something nice has been pub
lished about him, any more than he
would expect his ulilkman, from whom
he buys a quart Of milk every morning.
To send him a half gallon OF cream,
free of charge. every time he enter
tains his friends at a select dinner.
In short. the reign OF newspaper
adheadism will be over, because

profitable 70 the editor.

REQUIESCAT IN PACE.

Sol MiIler's panegyric on the dead
Douglass, in this weeks Chief, while
like Miller is not unlike Douglass. He
gives utterance to the conviction that
Fred. Douglass stood as a represent
alive of his race only in the sense of
his anxiety to accept all of the dues
of the race, personally, working his
bondage racket for its fullest value;
that, in fact, he despised the race SO
much that it made him mad to allude to
his negro blood, and that when his
first wife died he married a white
woman. Miller comedies that Doug
glass was a man of ability, but de-
clareS that he was never known to
eXpend himself for the uplifting of
the colored people except for pay and
the incidental emoluments; that Doug

THEY NEVER LACK BRAINS.

The ladies Of Memphis published an
issue of the Appeal the other day and
here is what they had TO say on the
financial situation:
To stop the financial leak and keep the
gold reserve, Secretary Carlisle has Or
dered the issue OF sie0, 600, 900 OF new bonds

months. We are not masters of the
financial situation, but when a nation
in a state OF profound peace, in a year fol-
lowing abundant harvests, must needs
borrow s29o>Do.o 90, without undertaking
any great internal improvement. some
thing must be radically wrong. If it costs
this much to keep the gold reserve. and
congress in the meantime can do nothing
but talk, il looks as if We needed less
reserve and more sense A parliament
of women, messieurs, could not do worse.

A Kansas Woman in Distress.

A letter received yesterday by Repre-
sentative Curtis of Kansas forms astrik
ing illustration of the uses to which the
services of the average congressman are
put by his constituents. The letter was
from a lady in circumstances of pecu-
liar distress. She is looking for a re-
creant lover who, she alleges. has i'm
posed on her credulity and is now cir
culating somewhere within the orbit of
the Topeka member. She requests Mr..
Curtis to locate him and reason him into
returning to that yearning heart out on
the alkali sands of the Kan state, even
to the end of resorting TO force if per-
suasion fails to persuade him TO per-
form a common act OF justice and de-
cency. Mr.. Curtis is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of asking the reference of
the communication TO the committee on
ways and means.

An Extra session of Congress.

For the third time the administra-
ton has been defeated by Democratic
house in the attempt to pass financial
measure for the relief of the treasury.
On Thursday, by majority OF A. the
resolution authorizing the issue of $685.
100000 gold bonds. was defeated, even
with Tom Reed championing it. This
is perhaps the last attempt at financial
legislation by the present congress; and
it no doubt means an extra session.
The Democratic party is hopeiessly di-
vided, and Cleveland has no influence
with his own party. He must look to
a Republican congress for salvation.
