CORN LANDS.

Congressman w. p. Hepburn of Iowa,
says: "The region of country that
produces corn in it's best condition is
limited to six degrees of latitude and
extends from Ohio only couple of
hundred miles west of the Missouri
river. That is substantially all the corn
land-I mean where corn is produced in
greatest quantities and cheapest-that
there is in the world. People will be
surprised to learn that the worlds corn
producing region is so limited. 1t is a
well known fact that the use of corn as
an article of diet in the old countries is
constantly increasing, and that in con-
sequence of this the foreign demand is
greater than ever. We may reasonably
infer that the time is not far distant
when land in the corn belt will be the
most valuable of all country property.
Business prudence protests against our
farmers parting with their lands in the
semi-arid countries of the south and
west.'

BAD TEMPER.

There have been times when it was
permissible to hope that the late demo-
cratic candidate was beginning to learn
from events sufficiently to lay aside the
financial sophistry that brought him to
defeat. But his latest manipulations
force his final classification in the ranks
of the bourbons, who learn nothing and
forget nothing.
One Of these demonstrations was to
attempt prohibition on the democrats
of St. Louis from nominating for mayor
Of that city leading and popular demo-
crat, because, as Mr.. Bryan put it, he
cleft his party" in 1896. The next was
to criticise Mr.. Cleveland's recent
declarations, indefinite though they
were, as to the reformation of the
democracy, in a very acid tone.
1t would be hard to imagine more
unique example than that Of the man,
twice defeated as the democratic candi-
date for the presidency trying to read
out of the party, the man twice elected as
the democratic candidate for the presi-
dency. The evidence that the demo-
cratic vote will be entirely too large for
Mr.. Bryan, if it supports anything else
than Organism, is enough to relegate
that person to obscurity hereafter

brave and strenuous defenders of the
faith, against financial fallacies, are
congratulated that their principal city
has declared for real democracy. There
should be meeting of the committees
who conducted the campaign for Mr..
Wells and they should vote thanks and
a silver medal to Altgeld and Bryan,
whose opposition was so useful, so
efficient In 1904 David R. Francis may
be induced to accept the nomination for
the presidency from the gold standard

large are gratefully thankful to the dis
tinguished brace of agitators whose
names garnish this tribute to their
utility. With voice and pen, with
oratory and rhetoric of the most resonant
variety, they antagonized the election of
Rolla Wells to the mayoralty of St.
Louis. The peerless advocate Of presi
dental nominations in perpetuity-
whose gallant campaigns for 16 to and
the initiative and referendum in 1896
and 1900 will be famous forever-said
of Mr.. Wells, whose election by ten
thousand plurality he and Altgeld
insured and consummated:
"Mr. Wells nomination is part of
the plan of the reorganizers, national in
it's extent, to capture the organization
by stealth and then make the democratic
party SO much like the republican party
that there will be little choice between
them"
If the peerless told the exact truth in
the above, how delighted he will be to
point with pride to a prediction verified,
even in part, by the election of Rolla
Wells.

BRowNvILLE, NEB., April 3, 1888.
DEAR SIR-In matter of honors, some
one once said or wrote, it matters not
who or which, he would, "rather be
right than to be president" A lover
of trees and tree planting might appro-
priately move an amendment: Substi-
tute for the word "right' the words
"author of Arbor Day."
With me it is a matter of pride that
Arbor Day originated in Nebraska, and
that my warm personal friend and long
time intimate associate, j. Sterling
Morton, is the author thereof. He, per-
haps, thought little when he drafted the
resolutions which created Arbor Day
that, in his lifetime, results would
become worldwide and incalculable, as
they have.
if the fora and sylvia work of the here
life could be translated, accompanied by
characteristic Divine revision and i'm
provements, what possible greater re-
ward could be conceived than enjoy
ment of an eternal aolian minstrelsy,
which would, in the very nature of
things, pervade the orchards and groves
in the wonderland of the great here
after.
1t is gratifying to witness preparations
made to plant trees in Nebraska on
Arbor Day, 1888. Prof. Lane, state
superintendent Of public instruction, it
will be seen by the circulation of his
thousands of circulars, takes the matter
in hand "with will"
Yours truly,
RoBT. w. FURNAs.
LINCOLN, April ID, 1888.
Dear Sir-Your favor acquainting me
with your purpose to issue an Arbor
Day edition of the Press, containing,
among other matter, tributes to J.
Sterling Morton, as the author of Arbor
Day, was duly received.
Replying thereto I take pleasure in
saying that I cordially endorse the pur-
pose you have in view To Mr.. Morton
belongs the credit and the honor Of
having originated and inaugurated
Arbor Day in Nebraska. AS result of
his wise forecast, Nebraska set the ex-
ample of planting trees; an example
which has not only pervaded many Of
the older states, but has even reached
into foreign lands.
The planting of trees exerts most
wholesome influence, and will in the
future confer incalculable blessings upon

Topeka, KANSAS, April 5, 1888.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, April 5, 1888.
Dear Sir: I believe it is generally
conceded that j. Sterling Morton,
of your state, was the original
suggester or inventor of Arbor Day,
and I think it is equally true that the
suggestions made by him received a
prompt and hearty second in this state.
The designation Of one day to be de-
voted to tree planting has, I believe,
been attended with the best results in
all the prairie states. 1t has certainly
called the attention of the people gen.
orally to the benefits that followed the
planting of trees, and thus popularized
the work. I have no doubt that hun
dreds of thousands of trees, planted in
Kansas during the past eight or ten
years, would never have been planted if
an Arbor Day had never been designa-
ted. Mr.. Morton's thought has brought
forth good fruit, and has been of vast
pecuniary value to Kansas and Ne
braska, and to all the states of the
West.
