during the last month collecting speci-
mems Of the wheat and arranging for
good corn specimens.
II never saw better prospect Tor
corn than Kansas has to-day. l have
been through the corn belt and 1t looks
as II the corn will be Of the kind that
Iowa used to raise when I lived there.
Hundreds Of the fields In the corn
belt will yield 40 and so bushels OF
corn this year. Jewell county prob
ably will take its place at the head
Of the corn-producing counties. 1t
was the banner corn county years ago
and Is preparing to go back to FIRST
place. John B. Ray, Of Jewell county,
has planted 1900 acres Of corn this
year and has about an average yield.
/ should say that he will get 50 bush
els of corn from every acre. Jewell
has as large an acreage as usual and
the best prospect for big corn 1t ever
had.
II find that the farmers In Trego,
Ellis, Cove, Thomas and the counties
in that part Of the state who have
been using the Campbell system in the
cultivation of their wheat will raise
twice the usual amount Of wheat on
an acre. Ground that formerly yield
ed from IL to 25 bushels Of wheat an
acre will, under the Campbell sys-
tenn, this year yield from rs to 80 bush
els an acre. This is the first year the
Campbell system has been tried to any
extent in those counties and 1t is prov
ing q winner. Christopher Baeugher,
Of Cove county, raised A bushels OF
wheat to an acre this year under this
system.
"Jnder the Campbell system. as 1t
is called, the farmer plows deeper than
ordinarily and uses q 'subsoiler,
which throws the soil from the bot
tom Of the furrow to the top Of the
ground. The mixture Of this new soil
from the bottom Of the furrow with
the old soil makes the ground more
fertile. Then the farmer harrows the
ground once at least before he seeds
It and harrows after every rain. He
also harrows after the wheat begins
to grow In the fall and again In the
spring after the frost leaves the
ground. This system holds the mois-
ture"

Race Pride and Stage Caricetures

Race pride Is one of the finest Qualities in
the world. 1t makes history, and often
great history. 1t keeps nations solidifed.
II inspires men to noble needs and COSTLY
sacrifices, 1t keeps human standards high
ana puts premium on unseIfshness. But
race pride can go too far and become race
fouy. This was the case in New York
last night when a coterie of Irishmen. act
ing by previous arrangement, egged a play
in which the characters were chiefly broad
caricatures of the Irish people This par
ticular play has aroused the animosities of
certain representatives OF the Celtic race
for some time past and has been pursued
with evidences of scorn and dIsaoproyal.
Here and there the feeling has broken out
into actual disorder. eliminating last night.

The Local Judicial Changes.

Chief Justice Bingham's retirement from
the bench, which, 1t is announced, will soon
occur will take from the, local bench
man whom the District has been proud to
number among its judicial workers
Throughout his career in this position
Judge Bingham has held the highest re-
spect of the citizens Of the capital and has
in his interpretations and applications of
the law served distinctly the higher In
terests of the community and stood for
the upholding of the laws dignity and
force Many highly important questions
have come before him for review during
his eighteen years of service here, which
followed twenty years Of judicial service
in Ohio. Thus the District secured in his
appointment the tried talents of man of
long experience, ard his decisions and rul-
ings have marked the trained, conservative
jurist in a manner to win for him the en-
tire confidence of the District. He has
richly earned the reward of an honorable
retirement in his advancing years, and the
capital wishes him many years of life IN
which to enjoy his leisure.
In selecting Judge Clabaugh to succeed
Chief Justice Bingham at the head of the
local bench the President has acted wisely
both in promoting one Of the present JUS
tees to the chief justiceship, and in choos-
ing Judge Clabaugh for this honor. Al
though a member of this bench only a few
years. Judge Clabaugh has demonstrated
that he possesses In an exceptional degree
legal ability and the Judicial temperament
and he is not only personally popular with
Washingtonians, but he has won the hlgh
professional regard of the local bar. The
District is pleased with his deserved pro-
motion.
Judge Pritchard, as he may now be
called, is logically chosen from outside OF
the District, to succeed the retiring Ohioan
He has served, however, for sufhclent
lenPth of time in Congress to become
familiar with local affairs, especially
through his work on the District commit
tee, of which he was a member for seven
of the eight years of his career In the SEN
ate. The people of Washington know him
as a lawyer of ability, and although this Is
his initial designation to a judicial position
it is assured from what the District people
have seen of him that he is of the type. OF
man which position of such responsibility
demands He will ascend the bench with
the hearty good wishes of his new constitu-
ency of the national capital.
Inasmuch as Judge Bingham felt tmpelled
to retire to avail himself of needed rest IN
his evening years. the Presidents arrange
ments and selection commend themselves
as in the highest degree satisfactory to
those interests which are placed IN the
custody of this important court.

From the New York Times.
Judging from the first encounter Of the
new Chinese minister with the reporters, he
holds about the same opinions as did his
unforgotterl and unforgettable predecessor,
but lacks the latter's tactful suavity. WI
Ting-fang did not hesitate to attack what
he doubtless considered our unreasonable
prejudices against his fellow-countrymen.
but he generally found another name for

immigration. Possibly enough the new

that kind, and the really inspired ones never
fail to make themselves thoroughly under

Again comes the report that Senator Platt
and Governor Odell have drawn their knives
and are making for each other with energy.

makes its appearance almost at stated In
tervals Last fall the senator was repre-
scented as having 1t in for the governor
Last winter the governor was represented
as having 1t in for the senator. And yet,
as It turned out, the senator supported the
governor and the governor supported the
senator for reelection. Now, we are told,
war ds on in good earnest. and will be
fought to the end regardless of conse-
quences to individuals or to the party.
As even an outsider may easily see, this
is no time for increasing factionalism in re-
publican circles in New York. The state is
figuring very prominently in all speculation
about the presidency. The republicans are
in possession, but it will be necessary for
them to make a tremendous. effort to keep
possession. A great fight is on the cards
for this year, and a greater one for next.
Tammany ds planning a campaign to re-
capture the city, and the Cleveland boom
and the Parker boom have both been
launched with a view of recapturing the
state. Apparently the democrats have a
hard road to travel. But the fact is worthy
Of note that the democrats Of the empire
state are a hardy and competent lot and
are accustomed to getting over rough
ground. They have made many difficult
journeys. and are preparing for the two
now before them with a thoroughness
which shows a full appreciation of what is
required.
Why then should Senator Plat and Gov
ernor Oden with the situation ticklish In
the extreme, choose the present time for
starting or reopening a family row? 1t is
probably true that they are in none too
close agreement. Both are practical poll
ticians. Both know the state from A to a.
Both. during a long service in the party
harness. have learned thing or two. But
both have been well rewarded for their
services. The governor Is now in his sec
ond term at Albany. The senator is now
in his second term here. Both are quoted
as DESTROYS of seeing Mr.. Roosevelt nomi-
mated and elected President next wear
Both understand the great value of New
York in the republican calculations For
all of these reasons, therefore, there seems
