A prominent Pennsylvania lawyer,
Who was for twenty odd years re-
tained ia a high legal position re-
gardless of party because of his
•plendld logai attainments and his
exemplary character, writes to a
friend in Kansas as follows:
"I sympathize most profoundly
With the people of Kansas in the
great troubled they have brought
upon thomselvos by the election of
Governor l,ewel<ing and a l'opuiist
Senate; and much as I admire the He-
publioan hou-e, I cannot but lament
its Weakness in assenting to the Pop-
ulist appropriations for so many pur-
poses which have practically added
to the strength of the Populist party
in its brutally tyrannical program of
subjugation of the state vi et armis,
whatever the votes of the people may
be at the next election. It seems to
jne, however, very strange if it shall
Bot turn out to be the case that these
very arrangements which are b ing
perfected by tho Populists will cause
a revulsion of feeling and opinion on
the part of those Republicans and
Democrats who were deluded into be-
coming Populists by the specious
sophisms anil falsehoods which are
tho basis of tho new party's princi-
ples."
The writer of the foregoing ia one
of the keenest observers in the coun-
try and fairly expresses the feeling
of all intelligent men in the Kast.
He would have more charity for tho
Republican house if he had known
that the improper appropriations to
which ho refers were mado to save
tho state institutions, appropriations
to which were denied by the Popu-
lists until their fraudulent expenses
had been provided for.
'Him Kans i« Crank.
Tho habitat of the crank is con-
finod to no particular state or section.
Unlike tho American seal whose
animus revertendi invariably takes
him back to his original point of
departure, no matter how many
thousand milos of ocean roll between,
the crank has no fixed domicile. He
is here, in large quantities; he is
there, it may be, in equal amount,
he is everywhere, more or less; but
it is becoming painfully evident that
Kansas produces a greater number
and a greater variety and a groater
pestiforousness of cranks than any
other state of tho union, and Gov-
ernor Leweliing is easily at tho hoad
ol tho motly group.
It is Governor Ltwelling who
stands at the forefront of the Kansas
movement for the construction of a
railroad from Bismarck to (jalvoston
at the public expense, by which he
not only expects to reach the grain
markets of tho world at nominal
rates, but to force all othor railroads,
whether running north or south or
east or west, into speedy bankruptcy
and a government receivership,
thereby realizing tho ideal condition
of prosperity which waits upon gov-
ernment QMHiorship and control of
tho transportation lines of the coun-
try. He furthermore believes that
the building of the Galveston road
will have tho effect of destroying all
corporations and sending private
capital inglorlously to tho rear.
Governor Ix3wolling and his asso-
ciate ii natics would much prefer to
havo the general government print
tho money necessary to the consum-
mation of this and kindrod projects
and in sums limited in amount only
by the capacity of the printing
prosses, but in the absence of pa-
te nal aid from Washington they aro
contidont that all tho funds noeded
to build, equip, and operate the road
can bo readily raised by direct taxa-
tion upon tho farm lands that are ex-
pected to produce wheat and corn
enough for its freight traffic.
Tho governor, it is Btatod, is will-
ing to admit that tho road, if con-
structed, may not be immediately
prolitablo, which admission might bo
taken as a lingering gleam of com-
mon sense, wt re it not coupled with
the opinion that tho roduction of
rates to a minimum is the chief de-
sideratum, and profit on the invest-
ment a secondary consideration.
Such sublime faith in tho willingnoss
of the taxpayers of Kansas to bo bur-
dened with a perennial debt on
which tho interest would largoiy
overbalance the compensating advan-
tages of cheaper rates could only bo
• entertained by a Kansas erank: and
yet thero aro cranks among tho
farmers thomselvos who hail this
wild and visionary scheme as fore-
shadowing the dawn of the millennial
•era.—Washington Post.

FAIRNESS BEST.
A llad Uae of Terms mid i. Misinterpreta-
tion nf Fncts,
The Garnett Republican Plaindealer
says: "It has long been known that
Wall street's capitalists have made
a great effort to build a corner on
gold and force It to a premium, thus
further tho repeal of the silver pur-
chase law. While their attontion
was attracted to gold shipments to
Kuropo with great satisfaction on
their part, the people wore quietly
building a corner in currency, and
when tho fact becamo apparent that
this country was too large for a few
speculators to manipulate its finances
in their own interest, they also found
out that the despised silver dollar
and paper money was exceedingly
scarce. To-day paper money and
silver dollars command a premium
in Wall street and they very gladly
exchange their hoarded gold for tho
baser metal." Regardless of who ia
right on tho gold or silver standard
question there can be no justifica-
tion for untrue and misleading state-
ments. It is absurd to speak of Wall
street as a wholo as having made
tho alleged corner on gold. Kven
admitting that a gold corner was
mado by some of tho people doing
business in Wall street it is oqually
certain that such corner was against
the interests of others doing business
in Wall street, who must havo done
all in their power to break the corner
if corner there was. The people who
must have gold with which to pay
ultimato balances are the peo-
ple in Wall street. Tho whole theory
of any corner in Wall street is that
some of those doing business there
attempt to obstruct othera there in
whatever financial purpose they may
have. In short, it is never fair to
cuiso Wall street as a wholo, for it is
always a house divided against itsolf.
Again, tho item quoted accuses the
people of making a currency corner
which, aa charged, would be as wrong
a transaction as tho gold corner.
Again, the premium on silver and
bills was not a premium on the silver
metal or the paper, but a premium
on the small currency. The premium
paid on silver dollars would not have
been paid 011 silver pieces worth a
hundred dollars each, or any such
large sum. Fairness in argument is
bost.
To Inspect American Hallways.
Ilenrich Graf, railroad commis-
sioner of Austria, who ia at the
Great Northern, comes to Chicago
and the I'nited States to inspect the
railroad exhibits at tho exposition
and tho systems of the country. lie
has mado a critical examination of
tho transportation exhibits in which
he says ho found many things that
interested him.
Tho railroads of Austria are all
ownod and operated by the govern-
ment. Commissioner Graf has
reached tho conclusion aftor inspect-
ing the exhibits at tho fair and the
railroads of the United States that it
is best they should be owned by
piivate corporations. Government
ownership, he says, makes the ser-
vice imperfect because of the con-
stant changes mado in the manage-
ment by politics. It is his opinion
that if tho railroads were owned by
private corporations those in charge
would take deeper interest in the
management and competition would
give better Bervico.
Of the fair Mr. Graf has nothing
but words of praiso. Tho transpor-
tation department, he says, is more
complete and bettor arranged than
I10 supposed possible. By the many
beautiful features ho ia deeply im-
pressed. After leaving Chicago ho
will continue his ii ostigations by
going to San Francisco and returning
through Texas.—Chicago Herald.
The I'op Senate Balked.
The people of Kansas who think
there is need of railroad legislation
should not for a moment forget
whoso fault it is that no such legis-
lation was passed last winter. The
Greenloo bill which was passed by
tho house of representatives was in
most respects an exact reproduction
of tho Iowa law which Governor dw-
elling recommended in his message.
It provided for tho election of com-
missioners by tjio p ople and was an
out and out adoption of thoIoWa law,
which is IPhe result of a long series
of costly experiments in Iowa at the
end of which the railroads and the
people have practically got together.
The flat refusal of the senate to
co-operate in tho passage of that act
was the result of a deliberately con-
cocted scheme on the part of l'opu-
list senators to keep the railroad
question an open issue for tho suc-
ceeding campaign. Every interested
Kansan should read the Douglass
statement of tho history of tho pro-
posed railroad legislation la*t win-
ter, a statement which may be veri-
fied word for word by referenoo to
tho records of the legislature.

Growing Wheat Cheaply.
We do not believe that the low
price of wheat is to bo permanent
In nearly all wheat-growing coun-
tries this grain is now only produced
at a loss. Tho laborer is worthy of
his hiro. In the long run every
staple necessary food must give an
average profit to the producer equal
to what his labor can socure by the
production of something else. Hut
cheap wheat has doubtless had tho
effect of inciting wheat growers to
means of economizing so as to pro-
duce wheat at the smallest cost per
bushel. In most pt os cheap wheat
has been grown only on new land
that held the stored-up fertility of
centuries, and as this has been ex-
hausted such lands have been thrown
asido. and successive areas of virgin
soil have been brought under wheat
cultivation.
This process cannot longer be con-
tinued. If there are regions in Brit-
ish Columbia whore new lands suita-
ble for wheat growing can be found,
the difficulty of transportation will
prevent their being brought under
cultivation, except very slowly.
Practically the wheat growing of the
next twenty yoars or thirty years
will be on land that has borne somo
crops of wheat, and will need somo
care to restore its lost fertility.
Wheat in close succession is much
more exhaustive than are most
other crops. Wheat requires phos-
phate and nitrogen, neither can it
get except from the soil. Nitrogen
for Indian corn is developed in the
growing season by cultivation,
hastening the fermentation of veget-
able matter in the soil. With wheat
the only thing possible is harrowing
in early spring. Probably tho greatest
benefit of this is to open the soil to
light and air, and hasten the nitrifi-
cation of what vegotable matter it
contains. A fall or winter top dress-
ing of stable manure greatly adds to proper care and attention to their
tho benefit from this early spring ! wants those scalca will neviJr appear,

is by growing clover alternately with tended to tho oasior it is to cure
proved farming that will furnish
work for farm holp all through the
year, and thus reduce harvesting
prices to a reasonable figure. With
improved machinory a farmer can
now cut fifteen or twenty acres of
wheat and set in tho barn or stack,
if he has holp hired by the month or
year, cheapor than can tho Western
farmer who rolios on tramp har-
vesters. What tho small farmer
saves in extra harvesting wages ho
can put in tho land to make his crop
largor. Wheat yields on most lands
can bo injreasod oight or ten bushels
per acre by a dressing of mineral
manure costing only two or three
dollars per acre. Tho increased
grain and straw more than pays tho
cost, besides the benofit that tho
clover crop receives. Ofton an extra
half ton of the best clover hay may
bo cut on land that has been phos-
phated. In spring, too, when the
harrowing is done, a very light
dressing of nitrate of soda will pay
well, both for tho wheat and tho
clover, especially if it has not been
possible to top dress with barnyard
manuro.
Theso aro, wo are sure, tho condi-
tions under which most of tho wheat
the world will eat must be grown.
They involve expense that will only
bo borne as wheat becomes an inci-
dental crop, and a largo part of this
expense can bo assured to tho main
crops on which the farmer reli® for
his income. For this ro«sen the
cheap growing of wheat must tor
a long time be limited, aad its price
must advance so that those who pos-
sess more wasteful methods and got
smaller crops can at least make a
miserable living. Thoy need not ex-
pect a profit. The poorest workers
in any line of work can earn never
much more than a bare living, and
occasionally less than this.
Sealy Legs.
Sealy legs is one of the many things
which should never bo seen in the
poultry yard and simply shows neg-
lect on the part of their koopor. It
ia a very common affection, easily
cured but much easier avoided and
greatly disfigures tho fowls. These
scales are caused by innumerable very
small parasites, not visible to the
naked eye, but easily seen through a
microscope. If the fowls receive
wheat that tho requisite fertility
needed to produce a good crop may
bo best maintained. But the competi-
tion in wheat growing is now so
close, and prices are so low, that it
nowhere pays to plow under clover
for tile wheat crop. It was always a
wasteful practice, using tho land two
years for one crop. The farmer who
will grow the cheapest wheat hero-
after must grow and feed his clover
crop so as to get a profit from that
also
This practically means that cheap
wheat must hereafter be grown in a
rotation, and perhaps as incidontal
to crops that yield larger profits than
itself, says the American Cultivator.
We know farmers whose main crop is
potatoea who tind whoat growing pro-
fitable, because this winter grain
gives better chance for seeding with
clovor than any spring grain could
do. If they towed clover with no
other crop, as is often advised, woeds
come in which the grains would
them. These minute insects form in
thin, flat scales at first and if not de-
stroyed early will incorase very rapidly
and form white, wartish lumps, and
if not givon any attention at
all, will finally become vory
troublcsomo sores. It is very caay
to euro this unsightly alfection if it
is attended to when the scales first
appear, by simply bathing tho leg
and applying a mixture of sulphur
and lard to the affootel parts. This
will cure it effectually; but after the
scales bocome hard and dry thoy
must bo bathed several timos before
they aro soft enough to pick off, and
then the mixture of lard and sulphur
used two or threo days in succession,
which will act as a healing salve,
and as the sulphur is very obnoxious
to insects of ail kinds, thoir logs will
not bo troubled again soon. Clean
up thoir legs and do the work thor-
oughly and keep applying tho sul-
phur and lard and the baths until
their legs aro perfectly free, and you
check. Besides, clover the first sum- ma.v ho sllr0 thl)y will not bo troublod
