ST. JOHN THE TRAITOR.

And now the Prohibition party of
Kansas, an aggregation which has
caused the Republican party Of the
state no little trouble. and which has
cost the state much in many ways,
meets in Topeka and denounces John
Peter st. John, the man who as the
leader and head of the Republican
party at one time, beQueathed prohibi-
ton to Kansas, and as governor turned
the state over to Click and Democracy.
as a traitor The Republican party
of Kansas long since repudiated st.
John, but it held to his fad until a
fusion of Democrats and Pops again
captured the state, which was only
succored by nominating Morrill, on a
platform from which the prohibition
plank had been eliminated. This man,
st. John. whom the Prohibitionisrs are
now shifting, is the man above all
others responsible for the prohibition
amendment TO the constitution, but for
which amendment Kansas would have
antedated Iowa in repudiating prohi-
bition as temperance measure. Still
these representatives of the party
which he founded are now denOuncing
him as traitor. That he proved a
traitor to the Republican party after
Stacking it with constitutional bond,
no one will deny. but surely only fam
atheism could hold him to be a traitor
to prohibition. st. John does not diff
fer from the average political dema-
gogue who makes his living by playing
upon the prejudices of people. He
simply bolted and deserted when he
could no longer lead. He will continue
TO talk prohibition so long as it will
pay, or that he finds it personally profit
able to do SO. It's the dollar and not
the drunkard he seeks to save. That
fact does not of itself make him the
traitor he is held UP to be by the Pro
hibitiOn party Of Kansas. st. John
is more the Prohibition party than all
that Topeka convention combined, has
more weight with and can swing more
people of his way of thinking, and
farther, than they. The convention
which denounced him as traitor in
addition TO prohibition, declared for
silver and woman suffrage, Sunday OBJ
servance, arbitration and the like, the
very things advocated by st John and
because of the denial Of which he bolt
ed the PittsDurg convention. And still
the Prohibition party, bowling for con-
sistency, denounces st. John as
traitor

A WORD ABOUT THE CORN CROP.

With this land Of corn and hogs we
viii go on till everybody is rich and
Independent. Railroad men and trav-
elers tell us that in no spot or section
Of this country, in no county or state
is there to be found such corn as IN
the immediate vicinity of Wichita.
There are acres of it,, square miles
of it and whole townships of it, corn
in tassel and silk and in ear, every
where, green, dark and tall. Every
hill has its full quota of stalks and
every stalk from one TO three ears each.
1t rained yesterday, it rained again
last night and it threatens rain again
today. 1t is estimated that there are of
last years corn crop in this country
between two and three millions Of
bushels yet in crib unfed and unsold.
All this corn, all now on hand and all
that is coming, if not sold and shipped,
must go into meat, and there is money
in meat. Hog meat semes TO be rather
the most profitable, but with a good
Republican wool tariff much of it
might be put into mutton, and mutton
means both wool and meat. The corn
in this immediate vicinity is two weeks
in advance Of the ordinary season, and
much of 1T is made beyond every posi-
BILE chance Of wind or weather, hot or
dry. It is filled to the end of the cob
and the cob is long. Late planted corn
is also far advanced, into tassel and
silking. Two or three weeks of favor
able weather, together with another
rain or two, will make the late corn
equal to the early. Both fulfilling
their present promise and the yield per
acre will equal that of any year in the
past, even those of the early seventies.

nificent TIMBER lands IN Alaska Z

nificent timber lands In Alaska. Be
sides this the west has grazing lands
$1,000 square miles broader than the
total area Of all the southern states
east Of the Mississippi.
1t would be herculean task TO give
q complete inventory Of western
wealth. is mineral resources are SIM
ply inexhaustible. The precious metals
have been found in most OF the states
and territories of our western empire.
The annual product Of gold in Cali
fornia alone is now from twenty to
twenty-five millions. The inner cham
bers of Gcd's great granite safes where
the silver and gold have been stored for
ages 10 enrich this generation, are
fastened with time-locks, set for the
advent of the railway. The projection
of railway systems into the mountains
are rapidly developing these mines
But the precious metals constitute only
a small part of the mineral wealth OF
the west. 1t has upwards OF 10000
square miles of coal measure, thirty
eight times the area of all the coal
fields of Great Britain. The iron of
Oregon is equal TO the very best Swed-
ish and Russian metals. Lead is found
in all the states and territories Of the
west. except Minnesota, Nebraska and
the Indian Territory. The deposits Of
salt are without computation. sulphur
also is exceedingly abundant. Nevada
has borax enough to supply mankind.
Gypsum abOunds. In many parts Of
the Rocky curtains there are the
finest building stones, granite, sand
stone and marble of all possible colors
and shades without end. 1t would be
tiresome simply 10 enumerate the val
liable minerals which swell the undo
veloped wealth Of the west
Her unrivaled resources together
with the unequalled enterprise of her
citizens are a sure prophecy of superior
wealth. The west is destined to sur
pass in agriculture, stock.raising. min
ing and eventually an manufacturing.
Already appears the superiority of her
climate, which Monies QUEEN declares
sis the most powerful of all empires,
and gives guaranty alone of future
development"
Beyond a peradventure, the west Is
TO dominate the east. With more than
twice the room and resources OF the
east, the west will have probably twice
the population and wealth of the east,
together with the superior power and
influence which under popular govern
ment accompany them. The west will
elect the executive and control legisla-
ton. The west will direct the policy
of the government, and by virtue of
her preponderating population and in
fiuenca will determine our national
character and, therefore, destiny.
Since prehistoric times, populations
hove moved steadily westward, as De
Tocqueville said, las if driven by the
mighty hand of God" And follow
ing their migrations, the course of en-
pire has westward taken its way. The
west is today an infant, but shall one
day be a giant, in each of whose limbs
shall unite the strength of many ma

Ii HUNG CHANG IS COMING.

In short time one of the richest and
best natured Of statesmen in the world
today will set sail for America. The
special problem which Ii Hung Chang
comes to America to study is what 10
do with the surplus OF population of
China. He knows we have great in
dusuies here and he wants to see how
we manage them. About the aimis-
sion OF the Chinese into the United
States he is enthusiastio He wants
the Chinese to come here.
A recent periodical, searching
through the income taxes Of the world,
,liscov ID that Ii Hung Chang was
one of the SIX richest men On the globe.
A dozen years ago General Grant, trav-
cling through China, as Ii Hung
Chang'S guest announced him the hap
piest man he had ever known. Thus
in history the great Chinaman will
stand forth conspicuous for two widely
diverse things, great wealth and great
happiness! He is the happiest rich
man in the world!
This wealth, which, in time Of peace,
is the first thing you hear of the emf
nent Oriental statesman and warrior,
was gathered by him in a most Amer
lean way. He founded new institu-
tons and reaped the benefit OF them
while benefitting his countrymen.
Where he scattered occupation among
100000, the 100000 were working To
amass wealth for him.
China, when Ii Hung Chang rose
from the masses and attended a col
lege, was an unprogressive country. 1t
had neither railroads, telephones nor
hospitals. Now it has all three, most
of them owned by Ii Hung Chang.
When Ii comes to this country in 3
few days, he steps foot upon a soil
which it has been his long wish TO visit
When he first knew America he was
a poor man, and this country enriched
him. He says America is the only
country that can give anything 70
China He admires our commerce,
loves our factories, listens with open
mouth and ears TO our institutions and
absolutely wOrships our army and
navy.
1t is related that great popularity
about the old statesman who will
visit Us is that he loves Chinese per-
sonal customs He will not cut an
inch from his queue, nor let flZZ
grow upon his yellow forehead. His
medicine is as oriental as ii was in the
days when the Chinese let man with
a broken arm die because lit was the
will Of the ancestors" And his super
stitions are strong. When away from
home he carries the biz Of red Goth
religiously.
The chief PERSONAL characteristic q
this statesman IS great good humOr.
He Is always good natured. always
laughing Ii Hung Chang i always
pictured with a smile upon his face
He has laughed his way through life.
Underneath the smile les plenty 81
knowledge and ability but the great
Chinamsn has the ar1 Of seeing fun in
trivial shinSs He Is -, and was born
In tie same rear IS General Grant
He discovered an affinity to our szr-
rior from this natal coincidence.
He is going to stop in this country.
