CURRENT COMMENT.

IF the people of the United States are
willing to pay millions of dollars a year
in the way of shipbuilding subsidies" says
the Boston Herald Qnd), "there is no
doubt that there are those who wall come
forward to collect the money. 1t is an en-
tirely gratuitous payment. and il is in
effect just so much money thrown into
the sea We are earnestly DESTROYS Of es-
tabhshiug a merchant marine; and we be-
lieve that in the last thirty years the
United States has wilfuily shut itself out
from boundless opportunities in the way of
commercial development: but we are
equally well aware that there is not a
nation in the world that has established
and maintained a great and diversified
merchant marine by means of a system of
subsidies"
Commenting on Col Bryan's recent de-
caration that free silver would be the
leading issue in the next campaign, the
Washington Post Qnd) says: amy one
who will read Mr. Bryan's remarks and
will remember that he spoke after a long
period of reflection and Immediately after
conferriag with all the most prominent of
his supporters, viii find no peg on which
to hang a doubt that he and they are
planning for another battle of the stand
ards, while hoping for such incidental cap
ital as may be made out of points of diff
ference that may arise on other questions
al home and abroad"
The question of polygamy is being more
and more vigorously discussed. The Phil
adephia Times Und) says: IF Mr.. Rob
orts shall be admitted to Congress he
would have the high sanction of the ma
ton Tor the admission of the poiygamist
into any and every public position ina the
land, and Il would be a consuming shame
upon our nationality. No such man could
enter "a national legislative body la any
other Of The enlightened nations OF the
world. and the great republic that stands
for the liberty Of law should not have tins

1t would be found very hard for either
OF the great political parties to draw
line on the question Of expansion, though
it appears that the majority Of the Dem
ocradc leaders are taking position
against the policy. Al The same time,
it would be very hard for ,he Democratic
party to leave john T. Morgan of Ala
bama outside the breastWorks. And on
the other hard, the Republican party is
not so rich in leaders that it could dis
pense with the services Of George F. Ed
munds, John Sherman Eugene Hale,
George S. Boutwell,, Thomas b. Reed,
George F. Hoar and Andrew Carnegie.

Horticultural Notes.

BY Capt. l.. ID. Dobbs, secretary Ander-
son County Horticultural Society.
Now that the season for fall planting
is ut hand a few notes as to it's advan-
tages and disadvantages will probably
be the most appropriate of ANYTHING
that can say this week.

End, because the farmer usually has
more time to plant in the fall than he has
in the spring and consequently will do a
better job of planting than he will when
rushed with his spring work

the fall can he hecled-in with perfect safe.

soil thoroughly around the roots and
may he planted during the TALL, winter or
spring when the ground is in the best
condition, whereas if taken home in the
spring it must he planted at once or it's
growth will only make feeble start of
either root or branch and will probably
die before the summer is over because it
did not yet started in time
In regard to the first proposition it is a
fact So well established that no inteli.
gent man disputes it, that when growth
stops in the fall the tree rests or sleeps
for the winter and awakens with the first
warmth Of spring and commences to
work and keeps At it's work of gathering
sustence from the soil until the irosts of
autumn notify it that it is time to 20 to
sleep again and rest. This sustenance is
gathered through many thousands of
small fibrous roots that arc every year

the tree sheds its leaves and as the leaves
and small branches form higher and far

small fibrous roots form in the ground

We Lone Elm correspondent is again at
home. after an absence of two months in
Illinois, with relatives. We feel benefited
by the vacation.
The various crops in Illinois, in the
section we visited, were no better than

good where we observed. Illinois snow
storm was very moderate compared
with that of Sunny Kansas The aut-
umn foliage was beginning to assume
bright colors during the past week under
the influence OF the recent frosts.

The Santa Fc railroad company has
nublished a neat Rockwell written and
highly illustrated setting forth the
thousands of advantages offered by
Kansas to those seeking homes and those
seeking places for the investment of cap
,tal. 1t is with pleasure that we learn
that already this book has borne fruit,
and that many people have, by it, been
attracted to Kansas. While, of course
the Santa Fe company has not been un-
selfish in its efforts to bring people to
Kansas. il is nevertheless, a fact, that
has done incalculable good in helping to
neoplc the state and build up many in
dustrics. The railroad company has
bcen greatly benefited thereby, but the
state has also profitcd immensely. In
this book YOU will find write-up of the
counties and important cities of the
state. There are two articles descriptive
of Anderson county and Garnett-one
taken from the AGTAToR and one from

We are pleased to note that Capt. l..
y. Dobbs' fall delivery of nursery stock
is much larger than ever before. The
Captain has worked very hard to build
up reputat on for handling only first
class stock, and the fact that his fall de-
livery is 3 or 4 times as large as ever be
fore shows that the people are beginning
to appreciate his efforts, He deserves to
succeed and we hope the farmers will en-
courage him in his good work.
