Bussell Springs was born to boom and flourish and spread all over the Spring Creek valley. She is rapidly fulfilling her destiny. 1 During the mouths of April and May ine aeveiopmeut or tne town win sur pass anything that has yet been seen in Logan comity. Many ueat resmtmccs ana at least a dozen business blocks will be under way, and various, public improvements will be brought to completion. The court hou.se, the school house, the water-works and thi stone hotel will be finished before the first of June, and the number of business houses now operating here will be more thau doubled.

Bussell Springs is on the highway to great prosperity. With two building and loan associations in active operation, with hotels crowded with home-seekers and investors; with a live and, liberal Town Company engaged in interesting hundreds from abroad in the prosperity of our town; with an energetic Board of Trade and a thrifty corps of men in every enterprise represented in tbe city, Bussell Springs can do no less than keep at the head of the procession in Western Kansas. IN liiGH FAVOR! THE TOWN LOT DRAWING I Remittances From East and West Pouring In. The Pioneer Town Site Company ought to have more lots to vfrtually give away. All they bave will soon belong to ticket holders In the Second Grand Drawing if tbe present rate keeps up and they don't close the books.

From every State in the Union letters of inquiry and remittances are pouring in daily. It is the most liberal scheme that can be conceived. Town lots in Bussell Springs are worth to-day from $50 to $1,000, and these -tickets sell for $20 each, and every ticket draws a lot. There 1b no expense to the ticket pur chaser beyond the $20 for a ticket. Address J.

E. Hilts, President Pioneer Town Site Company, Bussell Springs, Kansas. Union Paciflo Excursions. The Union Pacific has arranged with Its eastern connections for a series of 8emi-moutlily excursions to all points in Kansas on its lines. Tickets for the round trip will be sold at the rate of about one limited fare, by way of all Missouri river points over tbe Union Pacific.

Ten days will be allowed going and five returning and the tickets will be good for thirty days with stop over privileges within these limits over the Union Pacific lines in the state named. Now that Kussell Sprints, the dandy town of Logan county, has secured the peaceable poises-don of tho permanent county-seat, iw sincerely hope she may do nothing of herself or through the oounty commissioners to dampen the ardor of oar admiration for her and her people. We have said many kind things for her In the past and rejoice in her prosperity. Lethor givonojustcau.se of complaint to the people of the county. We clip the foregoing from the Wal lace Eegister.

Tbe Leadeb Is in the dark as to the meaning of the suggestions therein contained, but it can assure Bro. Wilson that our people fully appreciate his good words of the past, and are not likely to give just cause for their retraction. The Newton Bepublican, referring to an important matter, says: Why is the mailing of loeal papers to individuals the best means of booming a town'f The Emporia News gives the reason (though not exactly in the following words) aud it is answered In a nutshell: Let any one receive a strange paper sent to his address; "he will open It and think: "Well, I wonder who sent me this paper?" and he will scan it very closely to find out. If it has a well got ten up advertisement of the town iu it, he will not fall to read It consequently the object of the boomer is attained. It appears that the Bock Island rail road will reach Denver by a direct line, through a traffio contract with the Kansas City branch of the Union Paciflo company.

This will answer the purposes of trade quite as well as an additional railroad. When it ceases to do so, the Bock Island will follow the example of the Atchison-Topeka and build aline of its own. In the meantime, it is well to bear in mind that all railroads doing business in Colorado must sooner or later have fa cilities in this city for conducting tbe greater portion of their trsde. This conclusion cannot be dodged with profit, as cities of 00,000 to 100,000 inhabitants are not scattered very thickly along the edge of the Bockies. Rocky Mountain News, Beef steak 8 and 10 cts.

He informs us that the Board will take advantage of every avenue open to the relief of any settler who may need assistance in the matter of procuring field seeds, and as soon as anything can be accomplished due notice will be given.

Bhode Island Democrats consider tltcir chances more than good for carrying that state at the approaching election, upon the result of which will depend the choice of United States eentitor, and the balance of power iu the senate. Senator Alurich is conducting the canvass on the Bepnb lican side. from 1C5 special correspondents, covering every county In the state, In which it shows that the loss of stock has been very small, in fact not heavier than usual. Jn some counties cattle were on tlto open range all winter without any prepared food. Not one county reports any losses on account of shortness of food, und many now have feed to spare.

Stock never wintered better. Wheat is reported in splendid condi tion, well rooted, with good tops. Bye was sown pretty extensively in the new counties and cannot look more promising than at present. Spring work is far advanced In ail of tbe southern counties oats sown, pota toes planted, and gardens begun. A great deal of full plowing was dose in the eastern aud uor.hern counties.

Never be fore in all the state's history was so many preparations made before tlm 1st of March fcr putting in crops. The acreage of corn and oats will bo larger tlwn ever in tho older counties, while iu the newer counties au immense acreage of millet, sorghum, rice-coru, and many farmers will experiment with alfalfa. From our present outlook, Kansas this year will fairly outdo herself with big crops and real estate booms. Ingalls at Gettyaburgh.

John Mackay does not appear to be made of the common clay of which most millionaires are composed. A writer in the Salt Lake Tribune once heard the bonanza king say when a strike wa threat ened in Virginia City: "I am sorry that these men who are receiving $4 a day do not save more of their money. I rolled rocks in Yuba river fourteen hours a day for months at a time and went to camp every night soaked to the bone and did not average $2 a ciay, out no one ever found me quite broke or ever' hear! me complain." Ex. The protectionist orators who Insist that Washington was a nrotectionlst would do tlie country a Service by put ting Washington's protection theory In to practice. He, in his farewell address favored the extension of our commercial relations with other nations, and in the tariff bill which he approved, wool, tin, lead, copper, hides, furs and other raw materials of manufacture were on tbe free list.

D. M. A. AND ROCK ISLAND! Both Almost Certain to Reach Us This Summer, And a Spur From the Union Pacific Among the Probabilities. Logan county is not alone in expectation of the advent of the two great rail-way systems the Rock Island and the D.

M. A. Gove, on the east, and Wallace, on the west, are equally interested and equally expectant. The Rock Island surveyors are already at work on the east, and Gove county is all excitement, while the graders are rapidly working, eastward from Colorado Springs. Direct from officials of the D.

M. A. comes information to the effect that the Denver line from Larned will be pushed through rapidly, and that Logan county will be given an opportunity to secure it. Bussell Springs lies on the direct line of the D. il.

A. from Larned to Denver. The Smoky Hill route of the Bock Island finds the county-seat of Logan directly in its path. Within a short time the Santa Fe will undoubtedly construct a line from Ness City to Denver, for word to that effect hastmanuted from the Santa Fe diree-toay. Bussell Springs cannot be missed by the Him unless special deviation from its natural course should be made.

Officials of the U. railroad are figuring with representatives of Bussell Springs on the feasibility of a spur from the main line to the county-seat, and it is extremely probable that good results will soon be seea. Bussell Springs wili become as nearly railroad centre as any town in Western Kansas. AN INTERIOR CITY, 65,000 Inhabitants and Without a Railroad. G.

S. Morgan, permits us to publish the following extract from a letter recently received from his sister, who is engaged in religious interests in Mexico. Think of a city with 65,000 people and no railroad! What an open ing for a boom journal: "San Luis Potosi is a city of about sixty-five thousand people. We have street cars, telegraphs and telephones. The streets are lighted with coal oil 'lamps, and in less than six mouths we expect the arrival of the first railroad train.

The workmen are rapidly approaching the city from four directions, and when these are completed Instead of being an isolated old fogy city we expect to put on the appearance of a live central city, which we will be geographically. We expect also to see much of the superstition and fanaticism of Bomanism vanish, for It is simply terrible here now. It is almost impossible for the Protestants to do anything here. The Presbyterians have been working here for fifteen years and during that time they have received into the church one hundred but by removals, deaths and lack of interest they have now but forty-five The Methodists have been here five years and have thirteen members. We have been here since October 8th and last week baptised the first person.

There is one woman whose husbaud is such a Catholic that he will not permit her to go to Protestant meetings, but she desires to be baptised secretly sometime when he is out of the city, for if he should know it he would abuse her terribly, and he might do something to us also. These people are taught tLat they are responsible for the souls of their family, aud that a soul outside of the Catholio church is forever lost, that there is no sin so great as to be a Protestant, and any. abuse or persecution to a Protestant is doing God service. Some are afraid to pass on the same side of the street as our house. When we sing in our meetings our neighbors shut their windows, and a man passed the other day with his fingers in his ears.

Any one who attends a Protestant meeting cannot get work with a Catholic; so you see it is not very popular to be a Protestant. I have heard them say, as I passed along the street, ''there goes a Protestant." We, however, have formed the acquaintance of three or four Catholio families who are visiting friends, but our friendship would be at an end if we should mention a change of religion. There are only three on four families of Americans here, and some of them are afraid of associating with Missionaries lest it will make tlieui unpopular, ban Luis Potosi being a rather mcdern city, hus very little of interest historically and not so many places of interest in or around It as the City of Mexico. We havo had a delightful winter aud are now enjoying a balmy spring. More than a month ago peach trees were in bloom." The people of Kansas arc restless for progress; new manufactories, are building; new roads are contracting.

New York World." exactly what he was doing. It depends upon whether he was playing for national Influence or for strength with tlte republican machine in Kansas. If he in-tended to riso higher In the estimation of the country he has blundered, for the best republicans have unreservedly condemned the tone pf the speaker. He hat no prospect whatever now of a nomination which calls for a vote of the people.

If he had in view the party machine in Kansas, the worst sentences of the were the best. Standing on the senate floor in Washington he pulled exactly the strings which led by tbe shortest out to the hearts of the republican leal leaders in his home state, aud it seems that be made them dance exactly as he had calcu, lated. lie bas made himself a hero with men who have pushed themselves for ward by means of tbe superior energy of their hate and th mnre Intense malice of their selfishness. The convention of republican clubs at Topeka was so gleeful in its indorsement of the objectlonablo parts of the Iugalls fpeech that it had no memory for anything else. They could not see the vileness of a charge of trsach.

cry against the character of a noble heart ed union general, nor could they pene trate the disgusting low breeding of an abusive attack upou the personal attrt butes of the president of the United States, delivered in the senate chamber and for no reason connected with any subjeot the senate was discussing. No; these clamoring republican state candidates saw only that he "had shot it into old Cleveland." That fired the embers of their burned out hearts. The antinuo blatherskites who made the very atmos phere muddy with speeches and resolutions at Topeka bave no part in the peaceful prosperity which abides In all corners of the land in 1888. They still live in trouble. It is the food of their stomachs and the vesture of their hidebound bodies, No milk and honey for Disorder, enmities, slanders, dissensions and plnn der are the intoxicants demanded.by base appetites which contracted the habit thirty years ago.

The prize fighter who shakes bands with his adversary shows unpardonable weakness in Hieir estimation. Reconciliation is for those who are still obedient to the teachings of the sermon on the Mount. These men never read that part of the Bible. They probably would advise their followers not to buy meat of a democratic butcher, not to borrow money of a democratic capitalist, not to bury a dead democrat and not travel on a railroad which carries demo crats. A gay old carnival of relics was that convention.

Though Mr. Ingalls may have caught the rheumy fossils and may through them work into a re-election to the senate, he must not imagine that be has caught the people of Kansas. The state is growing changing and broadening. The thous ands of new settlers iu towns and on farms bring a desire lor continued peace and its accompanying rapid increase of wealth and comfort. They want capital for railroads, for banks, for credits, Thpy want plenty of free movement in all sectious of the country, that men and money can travel to the west.

In their calculation it would be better that Kan sas should have a reputation for generos ity, cordiality and good manners than for malice, party mtlice carried to the point of frenzy and unending abuse democrats. Neither Mr. Ingalls nor the gyrating old retired list at Topeka really represents Kansas. K. C.

Had his beginnings been much more obscure than they were there would have been nothing in the fact on which to base the contemptuous flings now so popular in some circles The American roll of honor is a long one our, ii contains me names or tew men who at birth were not poor and appar ently not in tne line of fame or great ness. As a matter of fact, however, Grover Cleveland was respectably born. He was reared In an honest, industrious, and intelligent American family. He came on to manhood as hundreds of thousands of Americans have done, aud went about his life decently aud quietly.

When called to public place he discharged his duties with fidelity, and nothing in his career is more creditable to himself and the American system than the fact that his promotion was so rapid as to excite the wrath of lifelong postulants for place and pelf. tirover Cleveland has never been in. vestigated by congress.
