A Soldiers Friend.

When the vicious onslaught was being
made on Mr.. Fitzgerald's Soldiers Home
appropriation bill in the house, with Fitz
fighting almost single handed and alone
for what he believed to be the life of the
institution, there came to his aid the grand
old veteran from COwley county, Judge
j. V. Beekman, with whom most of our
Union veteran readers are acquainted.
Judge Beekman's speech is said to have
been the most eloquent of the session, and
his scathing denunciatiOn of its opponents
made them cover in shame. In closing,
his eloquent appeal for the maintenance
Of the Home moved many of the MEM
bers to tears. In Judge Beekman the old
veteran has friend worth remembering.

Artesian Irrigation.

Rev. c. n. Ridenour. who has re-
turned from religious work near Fowler,
says the artesian water resources Of that
locality will be largely developed and
utilized for irrigation purposes this
year. All the machines that can be pro-
cured will be put to work Immediately
by the farmers. 1t has been discovered
that by boring to the second strata the
volume of water is largely increased.
During the years past no effort has been
made to store the water, it having been
permitted to continuously run off and
and waste itself in rivulets. This spring
the farmers will get to work early build
ing reservoirs for storage purposes, from
which the water will be utilized with
The Globe-republican., 1895-03-01

Latest advices from Topeka this morn
ing state that the senate and house have
each agreed to the report Of the con-
ference committee over the irrigation
bills. There has been . wide difference
between the irrigation bills Of the two
branches. the senate bill apprOpriating
Sl0.O 900 and the house bill $4,000 for
irrigation purposes. The conferrees fixed
the compromise at $50, 900. The irriga-
ton board is to consist of i've members,
two of whom are to be the professor of
geology at the state university and the
president of the state agricultural college,
to serve without extra pay. The other
three members are to be appointed by the
governor and confirmed by the senate.
They are to get 81 900 year and actual
travelling expenses. The salary is not
large, but there are already host of ap-
plicants for a place on the board.

1t was the same way two years ago in
several states, and Kansas had taste of
it when PETER was awarded the toga, as
we'll As Whit of ''what might have
been'' in the recent struggle at Topeka.
These contests which last for days and
weeks occupy time which belongs to the
people. They alone are taxed to pay for
these royal battles. And what are they
beneftted? As often as not the victor
is man who would not have been
selected by the voters at the polls.
The direct vote would Obviate the Law
ish use of money, especially where the
Australian ballot flag guards the COM
mon veal, and the poor man with brains
would stand the same chance as the rich
man without them.
The people should be the governing
power in this republic. They are vested
by the constitution with the right to
rule. 1t should be just AS much of a
privilege with them to select their sena-
tor by direct ballot as to make choice of
district congressman or congressman

In the Front Rank.

Ford county's Representative is not
making any noise or doing the buster
act in the Legislature, but by the quiet,
effective way in which he proceeds with
his work he accOmplishes far more for
his constituency than other men do
whose names are seen almost daily in
the House proceedings. However,
when he does speak, his arguments carry
unusual weight because of his forcible
manner. The following item form the
Kansas City Journal of February Goth
shows how he is regarded away from
home:
Fitzgerald the member from Ford has
demonstrated that he is shrewd and
successful manager Of an appropriation
bill. This afternoon at O'Clock the
house went into committee of the whole
with Seaton of Atchison in the chair,
aud began the consideration of the state
soldiers home bill. This bill originally
provided for the appropriation of s59, $50
for 1896 and s54,4OO for 1897. This
amount, however, was cut down by
about $4,000. The only considerable
discussion was caused by an amendment
offered by Painter, of Meade, providing
that the Quartermaster should be ap-
pointed from among the inmates. "The
motion was supported by Painter, Of
Meade, and johnson, of Nemahs, and
opposed by Fitzgerald, Hopkins and
Remington. Cox. of Neosho, attempted
to get q reduction of some of the items
Of appropriat ion, but the committee
stood Loyalty by the member from Ford
and gave the home all he asked.

Forestry Station.
at-large.

We see in the legislative proceedings
this week that Ford county's member has
succeeded in getting the appropriation for
the forestry stations increased considerably
over the reduction made in his bill by the
House last week. The increase will no
doubt be sufficient for irrigation expert
ments which was chief aim of Mr..
Fitzgerald's original bill. Every measure
Introduced by our representative has been
one Of material interest to all Of our
people, but he seems to be battling against
fate along the general line. Some Of
these days Western Kansas will rise up
and smite the eastern half until she cries
out for mercy.

Here is an idea on the educational line

Here is an idea on the educational line
worth thinking over. J.F Mahey, of
Ottawa, says in the State Journal: "We
have young people, boys and girls, all
all over this land who desire to engage in
industrial pursuits. Why can we not
have industrial schools within the reach
of every one of them? Industrial
schools for good honest American boys
and girls, and Industrial schools without
any stigma attached to them, without
any strings or hindrances to them? 1t
seems that when our people think of an
Industrial school it is always associated
with Indians, Negroes or criminals.
Why is this? Is industry dishOnorable,
or is 1t because enough at best of the
criminal class get into the professionss
l have looked1 long and anxiously for
the enactment of law establishing
county high schools with an Industrial
department. Here is field for some
sOlon to immortalize HIMSELF

A Victim of His Best judgment.

Senator Dolph, of Oregon, was laid on
the shelf last Saturday by the republican
legislature simply because he was be-
lever in the gold standard of money.
Dolph is an able man, a good senator,
and with republican president and
congress to handle the notions finances.
would no doubt have been, in measure,
favorable to the white metal. The
Oregon senator fell 4 victim to his own
best judgement. The antagonism Of
Cleveland to silver, coupled with the
down hill shedding he is giving the
country, is Strengthening the cause of
silver every day in republican ranks.
The republicans of Oregon have until
late tabooed the free silver idea, anc the
turning down of Dolph close upon the
heels Of Wyoming's shelvingof Senator
Carey for the same reasons shows that
the views of the party upon the silver
question are being revOlutionized. Cleve-
lands flirtations with the English of
Lombard street and intimacy with money
kings of Wall street are what have
started the ball to rolling. II there ere
not some1 radical expressions, different
from anything heretofore enunciated,
upon the finance question in the next
national republican platform, it will be
because the delegates to that convention
have lost the power Of speech. The re-
publican party is not going to commit
suicide by adopting or even favoring ab-
solute free coinage, but it will show Its
nerve and intelligence by placing silver
where it belongs and keeping 1t there as
long as the people can use it for money.
The Globe-republican., 1895-03-01

The state legislature has acted wisely
i'm providing more room for the state his
torical society.
The material of the history of the
whole state are being saved in this
library IN the country, in that it is pre-
serving the regular issues of all the news
papers published in Kansas, ard has
been for nineteen years past. OF Ford
county, there are now in the library
eighty-One volumes of newspapers, of
yevrs from 1876 to 1894. In all, the
library contains 1O,6S9 volumes of Kan
sas newspapers. These have been the
free gift to the state by the publishers.
These files alone are worth more to the
people of Kansas than all the Historical
Society has ever cost the state. But the
library not only contains newspaper
files. but books, pamphlets, manuscripts,
pictures, and numberless historical
relics. The institution has created a
world wide interest. and has attracted
gifts from every quarter, until it num-
bers now nearly $4,000 volumes. The
plans of the State Capitol, made many
years ago, make no adequate provision
for this library. For want of room, the
| library has been crowded into incon-
| venient basement and cellar rooms, and
a considerable part stored In packing
boxes.

In proportion to the city in which it is
printed. The Kansas City Star has a
larger circulation than any other news
paper. Its remarkable success has been
achieved by its unfaltering adherence
to the rule OF giving its readers the best
that The Stars Increasing revenues
could furnish and its improved facilities
could supply. The Star was the fret
newspaper to give its readers full
weeks papers-six evenings and Sunday
morning-fOr 10 cents, q thing that
could not be profitable except when
done on the big scale on which The
Star does everything. The Star was al
SO the first to establish weekly edition
for the trifling price of 25 cents . year;
10000 regular circulation for the
weekly edition demonstrates the wisdom
of the idea.

ONE definite idea Of its real value.


One farmer, Mr.. Dicks, who lives seven
miles west Of Fowler, has been irriga-
ting forty acres from an artesian well
several years. and from that forty acre
tract the proprietor's annual net profits
have averaged $4,000. He and one son
managed it, and they are making their
labor pay an immense profit. This
small irrigated area is producing alfalfa
fruits and berries, and the annual pro-
duet of vegetables placed upon the
market by the two gardners is said to be
wonderful. Mr.. Dicks farm consists of
l60 acres, and he will endeavor to in
crease the irrigated area this season.
He has an offer of $4,000 for the farm,
which ordinarily would be an exorbitant
price. But as he is contented aud getting
rich on a farm that returns larger net
profit than CALIFORNIA; $500 an acre
land, he sees no reason why he should sell.
Mr.. Dicks says it would take just
sl5, 200 in round figure. to induce him to
transfer his home to any one else.

The new Republican Mayor Of New
York has an original idea in regard to
street cleaning. He has under consider
alton the appointment Of woman at
the head of the cleaning department.
He says: 81 don't know that it would
be a popular appointment. do know
one thing, that all of US are indebted to
our wives and our mothers for clean
homes. and l don't know any class OF
persons who would be so likely to clean

money than woman at the head of the

A STRAY GE N.

There are wrongs that cannot be righted;
There are crosses that must be borne;
There are duties that can not be sighted;
There are thorn crowns that mnst be worn.
There are griefs that can not find comfort,
And wounds that can not be healed;
There are SORROWS so deep in the human heart
They can not be half revealed.
But, OIL let Us carry our crosses
We carry them not alone;
Let US tread over earth's rough places
Even as Christ has done.
Let US bury our bitter sorrows
Deep IL His Sacred Heart,
And think what a blessed thing il is
To have in His sorrows a part.
Let US think of the wrongs He suffered.
Let Us think Of the Cross she bore;
Let Us think of weary journeys,
Let Us think of the Crown He wore.
Surely the pain and the sorrow
Christ chose for himself must be best:
Let us follow Him, then, in the way of the Cross
Twill lead unto heavens sweet rest.

Bad For the Home.

The outlook for the Soldiers Home
appropriation is blue to-day. The pop
ulist state senate has cut MIR. Fitzgerald's
Sill, 900 House bill down to just an even
$4,000. Should the House concur with
the Senate in this measure the ensuing
two years would cover period of hard
ships for this institution. Today's ad-
vices from Topeka are such as to lead us
to believe that the House will not agree
with the senate to pauperize the Home,
and that compromise will be effected.
