The right to try and punish our citizens committing offenses in Tur- key has been so uniformly and ably up- held by the successive secretaries of state, since contention on the subject was first preached. that no dimunition of our claim can be considered at this im- pOrtant juncture. Consequently the United States minister at Constantinople has been instructed to claim all rights under the fourth article of the treaty of 1850, and to offer territory to any Ameri- can citizen charged with instruction, re- bellion, sedition or like offense; or, in the event of such offer being refused, to de- mand the release of the accused. 1nas- much. however, as this government does not contest the paramount right of a sovereign state to exclude or deport fo' adequate cause and in a proper manns aliens whose resort to it's territory mf 2 be pernicious to the safety of the sts z the release of such persons upon cof tion of their leaving the country is l1rot gainsaid. <

The Snree Ashore.

London. Dec. 19.-Lloyd's agent at Totland bay, Isle of Wight, telegraphed at $40 o'clock this morning that the Ger man steamship Spree, from New York December 10 for Bremen, stranded on Warden Ledge, but will probably float at the next floodtide. Tugs are now. land ing her passengers and mails. It is likely that a portion of her cargo will have to be moved. The weather is quiet and the sea calm.
 The passengers of the stranded steam CT Spree were landed here. Those des- tined for Bremen, thence to other parts of the continent will wait a reasonable time for the floating of the Spree and re- embark on her if she should be fioated. She cannot be fioated, however, before midnight, when the tide will again be at the flood Many of the passengers, in the event of her not being floated, will probably take train for London and proceed thence on their journey by the way of Flushing, while some will remain awaiting the sailing of a special steamer for Bremen on Saturday.

LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS.

h1nley Forces.
 New Orleans, Dec 19.-The state cen tral committee of the Louisiana republi- cans held a meeting today, at which there was a full attendance and some rather lively passa ges of words and al- most blows.
 It was an important political meeting because it was the beginning of the bat tie for the control of the southern delega- tions to the national republican conven- ton next year.
 The interests of three republican candi- dates for president were looked after. EX-Senator William Pitt Kellogg came here especially. it is said, to look after Mir. Reeds forces, while Governor Me Kinley's were attended by those two republican war horses, Capt A. T. Vim berly, ex-colector of internal revenue, and Henry Demas, the well-known col ored state senator Ex-Governor War moth looked after the interests of Ex- President Harrison, but was by himself in a hopeless minority The result of the stormy meeting was success for the sup porters of Governor Mckinley, who will get the delegation from this state.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 19.-The Jackson police arrested three men last night for passing counterfeit money, one white man, who gives his name as William Stanley, a plasterer, from Chicago. The others are negroes, giving their names as Alex Saunders and Henry Mitchell of Rockville, Ind.
 All of them had pockets full of spuri- ous quarters when arrested. They had been in Jackson since Sunday, and showed the queer" right and left. es- pecially among the city population. The police think that in Stanley they have a first-class all-round crook. He claims to have found the bag of bad quarters on the street. United States Commissioners Mosely will investigate the matter.

Another Trial for Erastus Wiman.

Albany, N. Y., Dec. 19.-The court Of anneaIs today rendered a decision sus- taining the decision of the general term in the case of the people appellants against Erastus Wyman. This was an appeal from judgment and order made by the general term reversing the judg- ment of conviction and granting new trial.
 Wiman was a member of the firm of R. G. Dun & Co., and was convicted of for gerry and sentenced to five and half years in state prison. The court of ap- peals decision affirms the general term decision, granting new trial mainly on account of the judge directing the jury in his charge on the trial.

A Tribute to Corn.

Of corn, our blessed gold, into the
ground, and 10, mystery! In few
days it softens, it swells, it shoots
upward; 1t is u living thing. 1t is
yellow itself but it sends up a beauti-
full green through the soil; it expands
to a vigorous stalk; it delights in the
sunshine; it is more glorious than
Solomon in its broad, fluttering, leafy
robes, whose sound, as the west wind
whispers through them, falls sweetly
ON the husbandman's ear; 1t rises
aloft, spins its skeins Of vegetable
floss, displays its dancing tassels,
overlooking with fertilizing dust and
at last ripens into two or three mag
nificent batons like this" an ear OF

ed with hundreds Of grains Of gold,
every one possessing the same won
derful properties and instinct with

Is the best policy in politics as in
everything else. The disgraceful
deal effected by the populist and
Democratic leaders in Dickinson

feat the ticket than anything else.
We know Of several Democratsin this
part Of the county who will vote the

assist gang Of unprincipled politi-
clans to gain the upper hand in the
management Of the county. Yes, it
pays to be honest in politics and the

ing this fact upon the members Of
the gang, in manner not altogether
pleasant to them, on election day.

Populist Reform.

What is this little story that comes
up from the balmy South landP II
will be remembered that the West
and South were to join hands in this
Pop reform movement, that num-
Der of Southern colonies pranced
through Kansas telling how the re-
demption was to 60 on. Well, the
Pops didn't elect anybody down
South, they didn't fool any state but
Kansas and only fooled it once. But
down in Georgia they did get in a
corner Of one district a little foothold
and events show how they have re-
formed it. The Democrats sent some
men into the county to look at
the registration books for campaign
purposes. These clerks returned to
Atlanta terror stricken. They say
that as soon as they arrived in the
county runners were sent out into
tho county, marshaling armed bands
of Populists, who intimidated and
threatened violence to the committee
at every step. They were not allowed
to see the books and were told not to
touch them nor to assist the registers
in expediting the work. The errand
Of the committee was fruitless. Mem.
bers Of the committee say: ANY
Populist who felt so disposed took
the names Of voters In small note
books and this was called registra-
ton. No questions were asked"
The report adds; 1.-The registrars
have thrown out a number Of votes
but the Populists openly and boldly
leclare that every man in Lincoln
county that wishes to vote, shall
7otc, registry or no registry. The
rauds perpetrated there are an out
age on law and order, and even upon
lecency. Populists in the county
'ay that had Boykin Wright visited
here when he had intended to a few
lays since, he would not have re-
,urned alive
That is Pop reform. That Is the
way the apostles Of light operate,
That is what they want in Kansas.

Lord" Scully's New Grip.

William Scully, the owner Of so
many acres Of fine farming lands in
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, has
moved from London, England, to
New York, where he will make his
future home.
He owns in Illinois now from &c.
900 to 100000 acres. In Logan
county his holdings reach from 49,
900 to $4,000. Much Of this land he
acquired from the government at
$l.25 an acre. Large tracts were OBJ
tanned at so cents to 81 an acre,
through the use OF soldiers land war;
rants. He bought lands in Illinois SO
long as he could, until prevented by
the adoption Of new law.
This landlord now owns more than
a whole county in Kansas, large por-
lions Of counties in Nebraska, slices
of Missouri counties and sections in
other states. In Illinois, besides his
Logan county property, he owns land
in Sangamon, Woodford and Grundy
His income from rentals
Of lands in this country now reach
$500, 900 per annum. He is a hard
landlord, as people in our neighbor-
ing county Of Marion can testify, and
he represents the worst feature Of
alien land ownership. The sooner
this government puts stop to the
kind Of land monopoly represented
by Scully the better. 1t should
never have been begun as it repre-
sents principle which is foreign to
American policy and good govern
ment. Home owners not tenants
make land happy and free and pros
porous. The fact that he has settled
n this country and is a citizen
hereof changes the matter not at all.

Fusion Schsming.

The dickering and trading Of the
Democratic and Populist manipala-
tors in Dickinson county during the
past eight months has been some
thing to make the gods themselves
weep bitter tears. Starting out with
the two papers bowling for middle Of
the road politics, with the Dispatch
"layin' low" and awaiting develop
ments, the weather vane began to
change from fair to foul early in the
spring. The Pop fixers who were to be
benefit by shutting its mouth on the
tricks performed made up a purse
with which the Dispatch was killed
of and one Pop paper throtled. Then
the throat-cutting began, the ship
was scuttled and the wild and woolly
ghost dance was set in motion. The
Emporia Gazette apty describes the
evolution OF this fusion matter say
ing: "Oh don't you remember sweet
Alice, how they used to fuse in the
old days Of the Alliance. Both
parties--the Alliance and the Demo-
crats-would hold their conventions
A months time would elapse between
the conventions. Two entirely differ
ent tickets would be in the field A
few weeks or few days before the
election, two candidates on each
ticket would withdraw, and the
central committees from each party
would supply the vacancies by taking
names from the other ticket. Then
the People--the Great Plain People
would walk up to the rack and
eat their fodder. A year or SO later,
the names Of candidates were with.

mittees, This year the conventions

The way to put q stop to this kind
Of shystering is to bury the whole

Deep Water and the Farmer.

Another great convention Of repre-
sentative western men will assemble
in the interest Of the farmer at
Topeka on October !, 2 and 3 to dis
cuss the best means Of utilizing deep
water at Galveston, and to ascertain
what the farmers Of the West can
most profitably produce for exporta-
ton and determine where to buy the
imports they consume The farmers
Of the West need and must have
more and better markets. The de-
mand for American farm products
in foreign countries is very large, and
may be greatly increased. Circular
No. 8, foreign market section, de-
partment Of the Interior, says: dur
ing the year 1894, the United States
exports amounted to 1892, 140,572.
Three-fourths Of that amount, or
1868, 109,429, is directly evolved from
the farms Of this Republic. OF the
remaining one-fourth, four-ffths, or
$1S,42S,114, consists Of domestic
manufactures, the materials Of which
are largely furnished by the Ameri-
can farmers. Thus it will be seen
that out Of these vast exports, only
five per cent is produced from any
other source than the American
farm.
Careful estimates, frequently re-
vised and tested by the department
Of the interior, show that the United
States and territories west Of the
Mississippi river produce all of these
farm products which are exported,
as well as supplying the East with
the deficiency in home consumption.
The rivalry and competition in the
markets OF the world for the sale Of
farm products are very keen and be-
coming keener every day, and not
only the growth and progress Of the
western farmer, but his very exist
ence, demands cheaper transporta-
ton.
1t is safe to assert that out Of the
$S47, 5S7 ,543 the amount Of our for
eign farm exports for 1894 directly
and indirectly evolved from the farm,
fully one-fourth Of that amount is
produced in the territory which is
naturally and commercially contrib
utory to Galveston. II the laws Of
evolution and economy are followed
and products are shipped on the lines
OF the shortest haul and easiest
grades, the saving to the producer
and consumer by shipping his pro-
ducts to the markets OF the world by
way Of Galveston will graphically ap-
pear.
The amount Of our total imports is
1864, 994, 622. Statistics show that
We consume in the United States six
