Sematoii Mokoam remarked in a speech a few days ago that the Senators on the democratic side (two thirds of then men who had boon Confederates) were patriots, while the republioou senators wore partiBiaus. It i3 not difficult to tell from a diutanco what would bo the certain result of continued success of the domocratio party.

Stcong City Republican. Sematob Bowen, of Colerado, was a little off in the statement, recently in the U. S. Senate, that in Western Kansas ns in Dakota and Nebraska, "if nature had to be depended upon thoro conld sot be raised on all this vast domain a single bushel of wheat," The figures that will go into the agricultural de- pepartmont this year from Graham county will show up an an average ot twenty Jbushels of wheat per aero, and this where nature has been wholly depended upon. The Senators statement was made, during his flpcech in favor of an appreprialion of of to ex-permont irrigation in these regions.

To this we have no objections as we are willing to oonfdsss that when it is dry here it is awful dry, and it has been proven by individual experience that irrigation pays a laro par cent on the investment." There is no riohor soil on earth, and with plenty of moisture tlio growth ef all serts of vegitation is Bimply phonominal. Democratic. Eleven etatoa for reasons herein are democratic. 1st, Because in their futile efforts to overthrew our free institutions they were iudissolably united and know that Grover Cleveland's sympathy was with them. 2nd, Having returned te their homes in defeat still nurse the determinntion to accomplish cthr moans, what they failed to accomplish by war.

In tins they are equally united, and every publo or private act of the president loads thorn to believe bis sympathies are with them. 8rd, They have since the war, and and are still untiring in their efforts to hold up their 1st cause, as a holy one. And to this end they have canonized that arch traitor Jeff Davis in his publics flaunting of the justice of the lost cause. In the pnblio schools aiid home their children have assidaeusly been taught that the people would never have rebelled bad it not been for the unjust encroachments of a tyranical government, and that the people of the north are a self -seeking penurious and in fact inferior people. In all this they believe they have Cleveland's moral support 4th- And they have by resorting to the iash and revolver is the hands of law-lees mobs by whipping good citizens, systematically, yet effectually su pressed the public expression of sentiments of loyally to the union.

They are all solid, and will cast their t-loctorhil vote for Cleveland. mm Has thousands of acres of Graham, Sheridan, Trego cheap and on long time. acres cf choice lands in MO ITS 10. ef Main St. and 1st.

Such details as ell these are apt to louud to lia strangely unreal as wo read tuetn somewhat in the light of travelers' tale3, Kith reference to fur away lands; but it certainly is startling when, for the first time, we realize how exactly descriptive they are of the medic! no lore of our own ancestors in iruth, to this day we may find among ourselves jrne survivals of the old superstitions stiil lingering in out of the way corners. Thus It is only a few years since the skull of a suicide was used, in Caithness as a drinking cup for the ure of epilepsy. Dr.

Arthur Mitchell knows of a case in which the body of such a one was disinterred in order to obtain her skull for this purpose It was, Jiowever, accounted a more sure specific for epilepsy to reduce part of the skull to powder and swallow it Even the moss which grew such skulls was deemed a certain enre for various diseases. Nor was this simply a popular superstition. In the official Pharmacopoeia of the Collide of Physicians, of London, A. D. 1078, the skull of a man who has died a violent death and the horn of a unicorn appear as highly approved medicines.

Again, in 1724, the Eame pharmacopoeia mentions unicorn's horn, human fat and human 6kulls, dog's dung, toads, vipers and worms among the really valuable medical stores. The pharmacopoeia- was revised In 1742, and various ingredients were re jected, buc centipedes, vipers ana nzaras were were these strange compounds pre pared for human subjects only. In tke "Angler' Vade Mecum," published in 1GS1, anglers are recommended to use an ointment for the luring of fish, consisting, among other horrible ingredients, of man's fat, cat's fat, heron's fat, asafuetida, finely powdered mtimmv, camphor, oil of leven- dcr, and it was added that man's fat could be obtained from the London cliirur- peous concerned in anatorj y.
