We predict a prosperous future for southwest Kansas. The time will come and that soon, when those thousands of brood acres will become us valuable as land in Illinois, Iowa or Nebraska.

It is not due alone toone or two failures that causes people to be dissatisfied with the country, but it is because most of them came and settled here poor and required a good crop to sustain them and give them a good opinion of the country, When that failed, their hopes failed with it; and a poor opinion will always flourish wherever sown. But we say stay with it, you cannot expect to make fortunes in a day or a year, but stick to it, it will come yet. Some one will realize the fact. Why not you for one? Cullison Tomahawk.

A new defini-tion of chivalry, having a most kindly feminine meaning, belongs to the encyclopaedia of this age, as our account will show. It was a most successful convention in numbers, 405 delegates and officers being in attendance, besides hundreds of visitors fromneighboringstatef, "As is the New York press, so is the world's opinion of the convention," said one, and so, weeks before, Miss Mnry Seymour, of New York, personally won the leading paper to a conception ol what the convention would be, and a large force of reporters were furnished, supplying the city papers and Associated press with full and quite accurate accounts. The few criticisms sent out in advance served to awaken more interest, and even the immense opera house was ninny times crowded. The resolutions passed on Tuesday related to federal aid in public schools in destitute portions of tae country; the exportation of intoxicating liquors to Africa and other uncivilized countries. Internal revenue, woman suffrage, the prohibition party, and commendation of the work of various department, etc.

While the national W. C. T.U. by a large majority declares for its advance positions upon woman suffrage and the prohibition party, the minority had time and attention in the consideration of the protest from Iowa, and a careful discussion of all resolutions. Iowa's minority also protested against the non-partisan attitude ot the state, in memorials from seven different localities, and Illinois asked by a memoriatfrom thestatecouvention, representing 14,000 women, that the national convention define loyalty.

All the protests were considered by a special committee, replied to, and presented in printed form to thecon vention. To that of Illinois, that no test of loyalty had ever been made, except "signing the pledge of total abstinence, and paying anual dues," that "our political policy was not determined by a pledge of fidelity to a party, but by unalterable devotion to the principal which istheirfound-ation as well us our own. That we are with the prohibition party, is not so much choice of comradeship as the destiny of righteousness.

Reward the ladies efforts by your attendance. Gcan Gross, who left here about four months ago for Colorado, returned last Sunday. He says he made the trip from the east line to within eight miles of the west line of Colorado, or the east line of Utah, and then went south to Pagola Springs, in the extreme southwestcorner of the state, and there went to work on a saw mill, as engineer, at three dollars a day; and where he worked about ten weeks. There, he says, he found but few people who were not Indians or Mexicans; and few of them could speak the English language in a manner that it was easily understood.

On the return he took a northeasternly direction, and kept on until he struck the Conejas rane; and here he found, after ascending quite a distance, that he was compelled to take his wagon apart and drag it on the snow to the top, the snow being knee deep. This took him two days and a night, October 25th and 26th, and the following day, the 27th, brought him from the snow in the mountains to a hnrvest field in the San Luis valley. This valley he says is entirely surrounded by mountains, and is about seventy miles long, by forty wide, and as level as is possible for land to be. After he left this valley he passed through many flourishing little cities, and some very pretty country; saw some nice crops and beautiful scen-ery; and the further east he came, the better the crops, the nicer the land, the more thrifty the farmer; and the cities, none, he says, compare with Liberal. Tbns it will be seen that southwest Kansas is by far in the lead of the country lying west ofhere; thatitisbettercdapt-ed to the raising ofcereals.and always will be.
