TO 31SCR1S!
It is our aim to secure
Between -this and Jan. !, 1887,
A settlement with every one who is in
debted at the World office on subscrip
tion. Those who recognize the relation are
requested earnestly to lose no time in call
ing on us or writing to ascertain the
amount of indebtedness, and investiga
ting our clubbing offers for the coming
year. Those who shall not have attended
to this by the first of December WILL
BE SENT A STATEMENT OF AC
COUNT. Our readers are prosperous. We are
in urgent need of money. We wish to
make all these collections without the
employment of a profesional collector.
The settlements can thus be made with
mutual pleasure and profit to all
cerned.

POLITICS AXfD OTHER. THINGS.
By a correspondent who lives in Wash
ington city, we iro furnished the accom
panying review of some prominent char
acteristics of the national capital as they
appear this month:
Some members of the forty-ninth con
gress are already in Washington, others
are on their way, in a few days all will
have arrived, and the legislative depart
ment of the government will resume
work for a session that will last just three
months. There are indications that the
session will open industriously. The
chairman of the house committee on ap
propriations, Mr. Randall, proposes to
come soon and get tilings in readiness
for the meeting of his committee, which
is to take place, if a quorum can be
brought together, on the 22nd. This iB
in order to have a bill i eady to bo report
ed at the opening of the session.
Hon. Mr. Hewitt saj s he is anxious to
remain in congress as long as possible.
He would have preferred to carry out his
work here, but the mayoralty was forced
upon him. He wants to push the admin
istrative tariff bill to passage before he
resigns, and had hoped to remain in his
seat after he had taken the oath of office
as mayor, but by the legislature of New
York, a man cannot hold a federal and a
municipal office at the same time.
The so-called police scandal of Wash
ington has attracted considerable atten
tion, and the president has taken hold of
the matter. It is all about an alleged
scheme of the city police tovcollect dama
ging facts about the private lives of con
gressmen, with a view to "forcing them
to vote for appropriation the Dstnct
nf nrvTml-il-i Tf flin nWiW"Su,'7Fifc' oWrfTI
vi Wiumuiu. jj. uuv wwj u v . .e
gerated, if affords insight into the demor
alization of public affairs which have
long existed in Washington.
The president's Boston trip seems to
have done him good. He has been smil
ing and jovial ever since, and unusu
ally gracious to his east room callers.
His .country home has received a new
name "Oak View." . It has been various
ly named by other people, but this time
it is said to have been christened by the
owner himself Oak trees surround the
house, and it commands a picturesque
view in all directions.
The valuable relics formerly .belonging
to General Grant and bequeathed by the
Vahderliilt estate to the government,
are now being classified at the national
museum, "where they will soon be exhibi
ted to the public. The collection was
packed in fifteen large boxes, and will
take a good deal of space when placed in
glass cases. And space is the desidera
tum now at the museum. The director
of the institution is loudly bewailing its
wealth of resource and poverty of space,
and says a new structure is an immediate
and pressing necessity. In his annual
estimates for the museum, he asks con
gress to appropriate 250,000 for this pur
pose, proposing to flank the Smithsonian
building on the west as the present mu
seum flanks it on the east. The 100,000
feet of exhibition space in this building
is found totally inadequate, and how to
find room for the governmentranementoes
and for the articles contributed by the
Japanese government, now on their way
here, illustrating all the useful and orna
mental arts of that curious people, is
among the problems which the museum
authorities say they are unable to solve.
Thousands upon thousands of interesting
objects, which are as truly a means of
popular education as any of those already
exhibited, are prepared for display now,
but they have to remain stored away in
cellars, cryptsand garrets. A numbr of
wooden structures near by the museum
are also packed from floor to ceiling vith
rich materials which have not been touch
ed by the scientists. A hundred tons of
exhibits shipped from the centennial expo
sition ten years ago, have never been op
ened. The officers say it is not intended
or possible to put on exhibition more than
a fraction of the materials which will be
in their possession Many of the exhibits
will be but the indices of those held in
reserve, which will remain packed with a
view to economy of space and accessibil-
ity
for study. The museum has three
principal sourses of supply. 1st. Bylaw
all the collections made by the scientific
bureaus of the government, the geologi
cal, ethnological, coast survey and Jfish
commission become the property of the
museum after they have served the original
I purjqso of their collectors, 1 2nd. Foreign
"-rmusenn 'in all parts of Che irorld send
- KEEKET, KANSAS, SATTpSDAT, 2S"0"V3SMBBB 20,
off their surplus in exchange for surplus
material shipped abroad, and 3rd, private
collectors donate the contents of their
cabinets to an institution which is expect
ed to have perfect facilities for study,
comparison ana display. ne current
accessions are sufficient to fill a little
museum every year.
ANOTHER, LIE NAILED.
The tribe of professional weather
prophets are bringing themselves into de
served disrepute in this region. Here is
the latest prediction affecting the weath
er in the West:
Burlington, Ia, Nov. 9. Prof. Fos
ter, the meteorologist, will publish in the
Burlington Haivk-Bye to-morrow his
prediction of the great storm period, ex
tending from December 4th to 17th, dur
ing wnicn win occur some or tne most
destructive winter storms of recent years.
These storms will be much of the same
nature as the great blizzard of last Janu
ary. Heavy snow and high winds will
greatly impede railway travel, and he ad-
vises the lailwavs to prepare for block-
lbout December 5th and leaching the
eastern states about December 9th.
There will be energetic electric distur
bances that will affect telegraph and tele
phone lines. He suggests that many
lines and much property can be saved
from loss by making preparations for the
severe weather of the storm period.
Now, the ignorance or defect in the
basis of their calculations no matter
which you call it crops out plainly in
the above dispatch. Poster would not
have overlooked the great blizzard of
this week for any small price, if his igno
rance had not obstructed his vision of
prediction.
As we took occasion to say a little
l wnile. bagK injtUe .case o Wiggins s pre-
mcfconrofra'3eflerai.eart,htmake-ihittiimi.
i - 3- j. n
out the Southern states, we now say of
Foster's weather prediction: It has done
harm wherever it has had any effect.
People who are inclined to be prepared
for storms would naturally 'feel safe on
the line of being ready for the December
blizzard.
It will be well for all of us to be pre
pared for a blizzard in December, and,
for that matter, for every other time of the
year. But were we to be asked whether
we look for a blizzard in the fore part of
December, our answer would be that
Fostei's prediction is an argument
against its occurrence, rather than in
favor of it.
LAST WIXTTEB, AJtfD THIS.
The chance to test the thoroughness of
the preparations for wintering live stock
has arrived. We predict that a compari
son of the effects of the experience this
winter with those of the past winter will
reveal many points in favor of this one.
Last year the quantity of feed was insuffi
cient; this winter there seems to be plen
ty and to spare. Last winter the facili
ties for sheltering stock were lamentably
defective; this winter there is at least
a great change in this respect for the bet
ter. Last winter stock started in in poor
flesh, owing to the bleached condition of
the buffalo grass during the fall; this
winter finds the stock starting in fat and
hearty, as the result of the nutrition of
the grass not having been washed out.
