It costs si xty cenU per bushel to produce a poor quality of wheat in India. The indications are that the "star-eyed goddess of reform" will soon be wearing green goggles. Mr. Watterson declines to write the next national platform for the sad-eyed and perplexed Democracy. Kansas will return all of her present delegation to congress.

Senator Ingalls, of course, is included in this prediction. Henry Villard is taid to be preparing for a 130,000 trip to Europe. In this country bankruptcy eoelh before lux-ury. At the date of the last report the government was $6,500,000 ahead on account of the old unredeemed fractional currency. A delegate from Coshocton county, Ohio, has expressed a preference for John Sherman for president.

State pride will tell. The eecond choice of Martin Van Bu-ren Bennett for gov ernor of Kansas is Hon. J. B. McAffee, a noted prohibitionist ot Topeka.

Troy Chiet: "A man who was born to be United States senator from Kansas will not be drowned oil" the coast of Brazil. T. A. Osborn. Several of the presidential booms were planted entirely too early for a late spring.

The continued cold weather has played thunder with them. There is reason to believe that Mr. Blaine gave up work on his book long enough to allow him to read the Kansas dispatches in the Sunday papers. The political orphans continue to crowd around Mr. Tilden's doorstep.

The old man must be a living curiosity or Lis liquor must be of the finest brand. The vain-glorious editor of the Wichita Eagle is hereby notified that Emporia is now also supplied with a Methodist minister who can preach about "en vironments." Mr. Alden J. Bltthen, who for the past three years has had virtual control of the Kansas City Journal, has severed his connection with that institution. Penny paper The editor of the Kansas City Times has very materially changed his views on the propriety of mob-law since the Kansas papers haye teken to calling him "Mum fonl." The editor ot tin; St.

Louis Globe-Democrat, who still keeps up the war on Blaine, is bagging enough crow now to last him four years the Republican convention at Chicago. The Leavenworth Times says tht this is going to be another big year for Kan sas. The success of Col. Anthony in the past, as a meteorologist greatly enhances the value ot this prediction. The Chicago hotel men, in view of the approaching naiional convections to be held at that place, are watching with feverish interest the outcome of the Mussel Shoals robber- case.

St Joseph, must be waking The people of tint town have up, jus raised by private subscription $45,000 to give to the Iowa Southwestern railroad to induce it to come to that point It is stated that Win. M. Everts never laughed out loud in his life. It is quite evident that the great American jurl never tnw tat woman in a traveling ulster, running to catch a railroad train. It is cheering to note that a place with the possibilities of future growth por sesscd by Kansas City is not under the dominion of a corporation like the Jack son County Horse Railroad company, The editor of the Boston Pest recent ly published quite an ingenious editorial on different types of mud.

And et we 1 1 ueueye 11 is saie to say tnt the writer never visited Emporia or Topeka on a wet day. Already ninety-two members of coe i i sri-bs uave aeciarea meir intention to mate speeches on the Morrison tariff bill. We should think Morrison would "give It up." Ho mutt be a man ot ix traordinarv bopefulniss. The Atchison Champion says that cx uovernor Fenton, of New Yoik, is prospecting in Sedgwick county: but as we hve received no "extra" from the office of the Wichita Eale announcing this fact, we think it must be a mistake. Cincinnati commercial Gazette: The Berner jury is being thoroughly in quirea into, in each neighborhood where a juryman resided there is an in quisition, ana juries may as well take notice that they are all to be invest? gated.

Over thirty-five and a half million cf dollars have been contributed to colleges and universities in this country during the past ten years. There is no country in the world where so much money i3 expended for educitic nal purposes as in a American Institute of Phrenology says "My brothers and myself have been associated with the study ot phrenology 6ince 1S34 They are now in the lectur ing field, one in England, the other in California. Since Mr. Wells' death I Lave carried on the business, until recently when it has been incorporated under the old firm name. I am chiefly concerned now in providing a permanent building for the reception of these busts and casts, nearly 2,000 in number, which represent the labor of halt a century in collecting.

I will deed the entire collection to the proper person or persons who will secure its integrity and preservation. The science of phrenology has got now where it can never go back. It has disciples in every walk ot life. We have made ten personal examinations a day for nearly fifty years and the public interest shows no abatement. New York Tribune: Mr.

Tilden was never better. He was never feeling worse in the whole course of his life. He is a living skeleton. He is an uncommonly stout party. His sands ol life have nearly run out.

He has just renewed his youth laid in a new barrel of sacd. He cannot speak above a whimper. He has the voice of a fog horn. He cannot see across his bedroom. He has the keen, long raDge eyesight of an Indian.

He moves with a halting pace, dragging his feet. His step is the step of the lusty, bounding Ibex His vital spark is well-nigh quenched. He has vitality enough in him for ton ordinary men. He is a candidate for the presidency. He isn't.

He would accept the nominat on. He wouldn't. And so on, and on, for half an hour. One of the few men who ever over reached a gas company has just been ar rested in Peoria, 111. It is only just to this ingenious swindler to mention his name, which is George Duubar.

Having purchased a building with its gas fixtures and removed it to a lot former ly occupied by a resident in which gis hid been used, he connected the main with his own fixtures, upon which he had fitted metil kerosene lamp3. The gas flame rose through the oil burners and the deception was so complets that employes ot the company, whose sus picions had been arronsed by a local detective, twice reportsd that it was all right. The detective persevered, bow- eycr, and finally uncovered the fraud. Sir. John Lubbock has recently dem onstrated that wuere trees nave never been known there is always a desert, and that where they have disappeared the climate has changed for the worse, the soil has lott its the streams have been less fertilizing in summer and terriblv destructive with Hoods in the spring.

Dr. Kothrock, the professor of Botany in the University of Pennsylva nia, shows that but 1G12 per cent, of our national area remains in forest growth, and that at the present rate ol destruction tne supply ot wiiite pine will be gone in thirty five years and we shall be substitutially destitute of timber any kind, i tie warnings ot scores ol other scientific men are to tho same pur port. If is nommttei tor president, it will not be due to the work of politi cians. His support is voluntary and comes in a verj lirge measure from the primaries of the people. There has not lor manv years been so much ol a popular expression springing directly irom tne people lor a candidate lor president as there has beonthlS spnu? I fx, ri; for lilainc.

It he 13 nomiDattd there will be a campaign which for entliusism, aggressive and genuine, has int. bren eqialed the days of "Tippecance aid Tyler, too." The following, from the Lerov He- porter, seems to be in the nature of a dig at the editors of the Wichita Eairle and Kansas Chief: "It is perhaps the best not to excite the outside world too much on the Kan sas foot and mouth disease, but all the smart fellows who have so much to say aDout ergotism, aikili water, starvation, mud and freezing can learn a great deal by going to Mr. Hineman's and Keith's farms and taking a look al thiogs as they are. The United States senate is composed of seventy-six senators. Religiously an alyzed this body contains twenty-seven Presbyterians, twelve Methodists seven Congregationahsts, fourteen Saptists.

sixteen Episcopalians, five Unitarians, lour uoinan catholics and one Jew. YY clip the above from Deacon Geo. lanin uncuon cny nion, ana as there are ten more in the religious analy sis than there are senators, we conclude! he has sort of doubled up on the Presby terians. The Missouri Republican is authority for the following special the ashixgtox, D. April 17.

A private dispatch was received here to-day from the governor of Kansas savins that cases of sickuess among cattle which had been most carefully examined had turned out to be true foot and mouth He was afraid that some cases had got into the herds There was an attempt made at first to keep the matter quiet, but the information was deemed such as shoe Id go to the public. The unction City Union has put this and that together and concludes there is political war brewing in Atchison tha. Inca1! cannot be elected senator. Martin governor and Hortin chiet jus tice, all from one town. It says "iDaie- body is going to get 'sucked and probably the best view of the fun will be from the fence." Mr.

Becher rather unkindly sajs of Mr Tilden, the great Democratic champion. that Le is no more to be compared to a full-grorn, able-bodied man than a flitch 1 1 lacon in a 6uioke house to an active young pig in the woods. Mr. Beecuer is nothing unless figurative. The Chicago Inter-Ocean is getting it back on Logan, because the later did not give it an office, by opposing him for presiJent.

We euess Loai can st and that piper's opposition so long as he has the Illinois to the convention. 1 -TO THE City of Mexico. THE SANTA FE ROUTE Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe 11 K.
