Dry Docks and Battlesb,ns.

The ease with which the appropriation OF
800, 600 for the repair of the new Brook.
Ign dry dock has been carried through Con.
gress, as a separate measure, shows once
more that there is no difficulty in procuring
prompt Legislation on anything urgently
requiring action.
There was naturally some disposition to
inquire into certain original faults con.
nected with the construction of the dock,
but the immediate necessity was shown to
be that OF repairing 1t fOrpublic use. Again.

Besides the money that goes East to
pay off debts, there is large sum re-
naming on deposit. That is the
word from the bankers all around.
the Kansas farmer is not borrowing
money, but he is saving it. He is not
talking of booming and promoting and
investing. He is not leaving his farm
to go into town and speculate in real
estate. He is not eating his cake; he
is "having" it.
And the end, the best of it is, is not
yet. The railroads are all building,
buying and borrowing cars to haul
out the big crop. There is a great
amount of.the kindly fruits Of the
earth still to be sold. There is no
talk in Kansas save Of millions Of acres
and millions of bushels and millions
Of dollars. Not as possibilities, you
understand, but as actualities. The
stuff is there to be bought and the
dollars are coming to buy 1t.
There is no use in talking about the
cause ofprosperity. 1t isenough that
it has come.-Kansas City Star.

nrOSDUrifu for Kansas,

/ There is no probable doubt but
Kansas, in thisImonth Of August, 1897
is a prosperous country. The testi-
mony to that effect is, indeed, quite
overwhelming. The evidence comes
from politicians and public officers of
every party class and school. 1t comes
from bankers, shippers and business
men of all classes. There is no object
in denying this prosperity or disputing
about it.
Kansas has been In debt, but is now,
and has been for some time, liquida-
ting. This evidence comes from the
men who are paying. the banks and
financial institutions which transfer
the money, and the creditors who re-
ceive it. The latter who has been
shaky about Kansas, uncertain and
doubtful, are now ready and anxious
to grant extentions and to loan more
on Kansas security. Kansas, which
was hard up some time ago, now has
money and is piling 1t up in the banks.

- Much ink has been wasted by the
reform press, rediculing the idea
that confidence was fast being restor-
ed. Let's see, Virgil Wilson returned
Saturday from:.Topeka where he had
gone to sell our SO, 100000 school bonds,
on which we had voted and expected to
pay 6per cent. interest, but Mr.. Wilson
succeeded in placing them at 5 per
cent. A man named Kelley was in town
last week and offered to refund all the
outstanding bonds of the city Of Cha
mute, most of which are drawing per
cent, at Al per cent. Until within six
months it was almost impossible TO
borrow money on real estate security
at any kind Of per cent, but where
money could be had at all, 81 to 10 per
cent. was charged. Now you can get
money in any quantity desired at from
I to per cent.

Hdru lllllsS.
The hard times Of the past four
years have been very Encouraging and
many man who ordinarily would have
been good citizen, has given up and
concluded there was not much in life
for him, and many have gone to the bad;
yet Notwithstanding all this, there has
some good come from it. Everything
had been on the upgrade for long
time, and false and impossible values
had been placed on many articles-val-
ues that could not possibly continue,
and it was only question Of time
when they must come down to a nor
NAL basis. 1t was unfortunate that
we had the Wilson tariff act, for 1t sue
ceeded in flooring values at one fell
swoop, and gave no warning at all, yet
come down they must and they came.
People who had gone in debt and did
not succeed in liquidating before the
tumble, were in bad shape, and much
mortgaged property was sacrificed, but
now things are taking gradual turn
for the better. People have found out
that it takes muscle as well as brain
to make living, and accepting the
situation, have gone to work, and
today, we are getting back on a
better basis. We have more workers
and fewer schemers. Farmers and
Others are not running blindly In
debt :but are trying the system OF
pay as you go. Those who have made
a start during these hard times de.
serve much credit, and those who
have held their own, and made fair,
square, honest living, are all right al
SO, for the way things are starting I'M
der the Dingley bill, there is hardly
man out of work who wants employ
ment. Free trade papers are making
all kinds of excuses for the advanced In
prices and the general upward tenden-
cy of all kinds of securities. But the
fact that they are up is certainly
gratifying to our people, and whether
or not they will remain on the up
grade, time alone can tell.

Dollar wheat is q twin with Re-
publican success. In 1883, under
Arthur, the average price of wheat
was ninety one cents a bushel. Dur
ing Cleveland's first term the aver
age was sixty eight cents. When
Harrison was president wheat varied
from eighty four cents to ninety three
cents. Cleveland's second term sent
it down at once to sixty-three cents,
and it continued to tumble until it
reached forty-nine cents, the lowest
price of the century. In the first

Of Interest to Teachers.
Many teachers who failed to pass
the examination for certificates will
be interested in knowing that Super.
intendent Stryker has reversed the
order recently issued that applicants
for third grade certificates must Az.
erage 80 per cent on examination.
He says he has discovered statute
which provides that the average need
be only 20 per cent, with minimum
of Oper cent in any one study.
There was much objection on the
part of the teachers who felt that.
considering the pulling questions
asked by the examiners, it was unfair
to demand a high average from the
beginners. The old figures will be
retained.

in and severe snaps of winter weather
may be looked for any time. He is

The Wheat Outieok.

G. Wood Davis, who has made 9
journey to Washington, D. c., gives
an account of his trip to the Kansas
Farmer, in which he says:
Coming from Kansas, through the
best wheat districts of Missouri, ILL
nois, Indiana and Ohio, making q
detour through the "blue grass" 70
gion of Kentucky, I found the wheat
fields in sorry plight. Although ira
Yelling only BY day, for the express
purpose of observing the conditions.
I saw but four wheat fields after
crossing the eastern boundary OF
Kansas where any portion Of the
wheat was up, and in neither Of such
cases was there anything like stand.
In my judgment not over three
fourths of the ground, along the
route Travelled, intended for wheat,
has been plowed, not more than half
that plowed has been narrowed, and
not one half that narrowed has been
sown.
Should it rain at once, seeding
could not be completed, in the dis
tricts travelled, until some time in
November. Much of theground lies
in great clods-as big as q barrel in
some instances those fields can
be fitted for the seed only after heavy
rains to slack these clay 'boulders.
As far as I have seen or can hear,
only Kansas, Oklahoma and Michi-
gan have any wheat growing. There
Is certainly none in Virginia. As to
20 the seaboard States north of Viz
yinia there are conflicting reports.
Such States, however, grow but little
wheat.

Newspapers In the schools.
From the Syracuse Post.

From the Syracuse Post.
The superintendent of the public
schools in Kansas City has instructed
the principals of the grammar schools
to have the newspapers read system
atically by pupils as part Of their
school work. He has reached the
conclusion that children in their Gag
erness to learn about the past are liza
bic to overlook the present. He be-
lieves that it is quite as important for
a child to know what is going on in
the world in which he lives as to
know the location of q group Of is
lands in the Antartic ocean.
In many cities school children are
already encouraged to read the news
papers and report daily the main cur
rent events. Syracuse is abreast of
the times in this respect. Newspa
pers can form an important part OF q
child's education if used with discre-
ton. Not every newspaper is fit to
be read by children or to be taken in
to the family. Papers that make a
specially of sensational news, that
make great display of the details of
crime and the trials of murderers,
that rake tho sewers of social life
and expose their contents to the pub
lie, are not the kind of papers to be
read by the children or to be taken in
to their homes. But papers that are
clean, wholesome and decent in their
treatment Of the news of the day can
be pro6tably used in the public
schools.
