The article from the Emporia Gazette
entitled whats the Matter With Kan.
sas?' has had vogue in the east that is
most prejudicial to the entire west. par
ticularly to Kansas and Nebraska. This
article, exhibiting an ingalls, like facility
in phraseology, was, go far as know.
first reprinted in the Chicago Times
Herald. Then it appeared in the New
York Sun, and was constantly referred
to during the campaign in Chicago and
New York. Two or three weeks ago
the Sun printed it again. Mr.. White.
the autOr OF the article, was animated
by desire to rouse the people Of Kan
sas from their condition Of political
idiocy, but it did not cave the state ON
election day, and the only effect in the
east, where it has received an immense
amount OF attention. has been 10 intens-
lily the feeling that Kansas, and un,or-
tn nateIy Nebraska. is linked with her
neighbor to the south, and is hopelesslv
given over to the worst form OF incan-
descent damnphoolshness. Nebraska
has always had to suffer for good
many sins not her own. In the region
where it is most valuable to hare
record for general reliability, there is
in the popular mind an indefinite idea
that out in the west beyond the Mis-
souri,, dwellings and Waites are vastly
in the majority; that Indian outbreaks
and all sort OF riots are common; that
crankism is rampant, and have found
very few people who in their condemna-
ton of the west separate Nebraska from
Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. just
now the people of Nebraska are Coz
graduating themselves on the fact that
in spite of populist victory in that state.
there is one alluring rift in the clouds.
Governor Holcomb has managed to
preserve certain amount of conserva-
tism, altho' surrounded by bowling
mob OF fireatere, and to him the people
in NJ braska who have something at
stake, who desire to see the reputation
OF the state kept as bright as possible.
arc turning with hope. The governor.
with very commendable willingness, has
assured the public that he will do all in
his power to prevent any legislation this
winter that will have a tendency to re-
fleet on the intelligence. honesty and
good faith OF the people Of Nebraska.
So there is an idea-in Nebraska-there
is TO be nothing disgraceful in the state
house, and that the state will stand out
in bold relief from her sister populist
state. But here, in New York, which is
one CT the two principal places where it
ia desirable to have all real facts that
are to the credit Of Nebraska thoroughly
understood, not one man in five thous
and ever heard Of Holcomb or his pa
triotic assurance. The only idea the
people have is that all populists are
alike. and that in Nebraska they are on
top. and that settles it. They paraphrase
from the Emporia Gazette article and
saw. "Oh, out there in the west the
people started in to raise HI, and now
they are suffering from overproduction."
Then they smile in self satisfied way
and dismiss the subject.
aare are INST few editorial extracts
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-12-05

Can any good thing come out of Kan
sas? Yes. Petfer's whiskers are good
things in their way, and Mrs Mary Eliz-
abeth Leases bonnets, and besides a
great many good persons come out OF
that state and never go back. Some
good things in the shape OF opinions,
uttered in Kansas about Kansas, have
acquired VICE circulation in other parts
recently.

particular school between the Missouri
and the Colorado line Mr.. Leedy &C
quired his sfntax.
The dismal and pathetic spectacle
which Kansas now presents to her sisters
in the union OF states, is relieved TO some
extent by the courage and hopefulness
of level headed individuals like the edi.
tor Of the Emporia Gazette. This truly
great journalist, whose remarkable
article entitled What Is the Matter
With Kansas was one Of the features
OF the recent campaign. is a Moses in
the wilderness. sane man in the very
middle Of the violent ward. The EN-
poria Gazette returns TO the subject OF
Kansas predicament with quite as
much energy as and considerably more
cheerfulness than it manifested before
election
Mr.. White admits that the work be-
fore him and the other sane men OF
Kansas, that is to say, the redemption Of
the state from the control Of lun atics. is
tough enough job and that it is hard
to know where to begin. He traces the
trouble back to peculiarities OF the orig
inal Puritan Pilgrims, emphasized by
present conditions affecting their
descendants in Kansas.
We find news in the Marshall County
Democrat, late Bryan organ. which is
a more rational explanation than the al
legged love Of silver why Kansas voted
for Reputation:
Haskell county has been bankrupted
by fee grabbers. There are only 100
taxpayers left in the county, and their
burdens are so heavy that they will let
90 and run the first opportunity. The
people wanted to reduce salaries and
made a strong appeal to the last legisla-
tune for reasonable fee and salary law.
As result they got law which made
an increase in the fees and salaries Of
their county officers to 81 300 annually.
Haskell county scrip is worth only fifty
cents on the dollar"
The freely coined silver dollar would
have fitted Haskell county's case to a
cent. 1t would have been worth fifty
cents OF our present money, the exact
va ue OF Haskell county's scrip. The
fraud of free silver must be seen now
by great many more people than those
who saw it before Nov. 3.

Here are Just few editorial extracts
from one New York paper, the Sun that
hammered to be at hand when l was
writing this article. They deal almost
exclusively with Kansas, but as l have
said In the popular view here, Kansas
and Nebraska are ore. The sneering
tone in thes, remarks is characteristic
of all the New York newspapers when
they are speaking of the west;

Washington, and Congressman and
Senators have at times had 10 cool their
heels In his ante room before they could
get to see him.
WHO oLNBY Is.
But before no farther asto Mr.. Olney,
the Secretary Of State, let me tell YOU
something as to Mr.. Olney, the man.
lie is one Of the most striking figures in
Washington. His face is that OF an
lrishman though his blood is Of Puritan
blue. The pictures which have been
published do not do justice 10 him. His
face Is strong and pugnaeious. 1t Is
Irish In every feature, aud though Il Is
said that his ancestors emigrated TO this
country from England, they must have
originally come from the vicinity OF
Cork. The first Olney settled at Salem.
Mass. He was preacher and his name
was Thomas. lie Is said to have been
the founder Of the Baptist Church in
America. One Of his sons was a colonel
In the revolutionary war, and another
was captain, who received a number
OF bullet and bayonet wounds during
the struggle. .snoiher Olney--who, /
think, belonged TO this same family
was the author OF the Olney Biographies
These were used In the public schools OF
America for more than thirty years.
They had, It is said. larger sale than
any other book outside OF Webster's
spelling book. They ran through ninety.
eight different editions, and millions Of
copies Of them we're sold.
Secretary Oney's father was the
cashier oil a bank In Oxford, Massachu.
sets Richard Olney, the Secretary Of
State, was his Oldest child. lie was
born In 1855, and he Is now Just sixty
one years OF age. He was educated al
Brown University and the Harvard Law
school, and he began his study Of the
law under Judge Benjamin franklin
Thomas, one OF the most famous law
yers OF Massachusetts. He soon showed
his fitness Tor the law, and Il is said that
he has made a fortune out Of his legal
ability.
AN ATHLETIC SECRETARY OF STATE.
Secretary Olney has better physical
machinery than any other man In the
cabinet lie keeps himself In perfect
condition by exercise. His joints are
well oiled. His blood is full OF iron, his
eyes shine with lie, and he has the
sphngiest step Of all those who tramp

ways has a reason for his opinion, and
Cleveland, obstinate as he is on most
matters, Is always amendable to reason.
As to whether Cleveland really wants a
third term or not | am not able to say.
As to whether he wants Oney to be
President, do not know, but It Is very
certain that Olney would make better
presidential candidate than any other
man m the cabinet
4 WORD ABOUT MRS. oLsRy.
Secretary Oney lives here in Wash.
ingtOn IN house on the corner Of 18Th
and Rhode Island avenue. His house
Is within two blocks OF the British lega-

lishment, and one Of his daughters, Mrs.
Minot, Is with him. lie has, believe,

Mrs. Oiney comes OF an ancestry quite
as noted as that OF the Secretary. She
Is daughter OF the Judge Thomas with
whom MIR OlncY studied law. While

and the result OF his courtship was
marriage. The Thomases came over to

South Dakota Dairyiup,

Huronite:-Careful comparison of
various creamery statements from
Iowa, with those of this neighbour
hood, prove that the milk from the
wild grasses on our open prairies,
where the COWS this Odd day of Jan
uary are still grazing, is richer in
butter fat than that of the best fed
COWS of that state. 1t seems incredi-
bic, but the record shows it. From
the same number of pounds of milk
the Dakota creamery produces more
and better butter. The Dakota
creamery pays its patrons more per
hundred pounds for the milk, and
pays higher prices for the creamery
labor, and still returns more to the
stockholders. To put it this way:
We pay more for the milk, more for
the labor, more for the capital, and
yet make butter at less cost than
the Iowans do, while we make better
butter as the market record shows.

Sioux Falls Press:-A queer coin
cidence, if such it be, is that Verne
Jaynes, late of the Pierre Capital,
who suicided recently, purchased the
morphine with which he did the deed
from the same druggist in Huron
from whom his father had purchased
the same drug for the same purpose.
The above is just a common, ev-
cry day sample of sensational news
paper correspondents reports, and a
person must be philosopher enough
to say what cannot be cured must
be endured" DR.. Jaynes, father OF
Verne, died in Missouri over a year
after he removed from Miller. The
physician in attendance and his fam
lily say he died of typhoid fever.
While such things as the above may
bring Il few more cents to the news
paper correspondents, they cause a
great deal of additional pain to the
Borrowing family and friends. OF
course we all know here that it is not
true, but even a lie repeated is bound
to cause pain.

Our Fame I'm the East.

New York Sun.-Some OF our es-
teemed contemporaries in the north
wese have discovered that the tenn
perature in this town is sc degrees
below zero, a trifing exaggeration
which it is not worth while to correct;
and they stretch out the moist hand
OF sympathy and at the same time
jOyiully dilate upon the tropic exu-
berance of the great Banana Belt.
1t seems that in Minnesota and the
Dakotas the cOcoanuts are softly
pattering through the summer air;
the orange trees are full of blooms;
young fawns and gazelles are nipping
the tender bananas: fountains of hot
water are playing ''in the Bowery"
and bread-fruit garden parties are
the fayorite diversion. Happy North
west Land! There the ice palace is
not built and the tlizzard bowls no
more.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.

The state central committee of the
republican party held a largely at
tended meeting at Huron Yesterday.
The committee decided to hold two
conventions, the first at Huron Mch.
%, to select state delegates to the
national republican convention
held thus early to be before spring
farm work. The regular state con-
vention to nominate candidates for
state offices was placed at Aberdeen
on July Sth. The selections of these
convention cities seems to meet with
the approval among republicans.
The basis OF representation is one
delegate at large for each county,
and one for each 70 votes cast for
the republican governor at the last
election. This apportionment gives
Hand county ten delegates, the same
as she had two years ago.

The public was surprised last week
TO learn that Gov. Sheldon had de-
manded and received the resignation
of Judge kellam from the supreme
bench of South Dakota. While there
is no official or positive knowledge
of the cause, it is believed to be upon
charges OF gross immortality, Many
people are disinclined to believe such
awful depravity as that reported, in
a person whom the people have so
highly honored, but the citizens of
Pierre seemingly believe it. Without
Fegard to kellam, il is to be hoped
for humanity's sake that the reports
are unfounded. Gov. Sheldon has
appointed Judge Haney, Of the
Mitchell circuit, to the vacancy. 1t
will be remembered that Judge Haney
was a strong opponent OF Kellam at
the republican judicial convention at
Huron, when the old Judges were re-
nominated. 1t is "a matter OF at
least Il little personal satisfaction to
the delegates from Hand county to
that convention that they opposed

a Yankee Corn Planter.

Redield Journal. - The western
man who invented the new corn
planter must have been of Yankee
descent. His contrivance consists of
a box attached to each foreleg of q
horse just above the fetlock and filed
with corn. a cord passes over a pull
ley attached to the saddle and again
down to the hind legs so that at
every step the lid of the box is lifted
and the corn drops out into the hole
made by the forefoot, while the in
genious planter rides at his ease.
