They say that Ohio is for Blaino. What republican State is not? The State agent of the Georgia Alli ance Exchange is short £4O,(XX). That is a time when co-operation did not co operate. James Bussell Lowell, the author, poet and diplomat, and George Jones, the great editor or the New York Times , died last Thursday morning. The great heat in Now York and other eastern States has resulted in au unus ually largo mortality list. You don’t hear of people getting a sunstroke in Colorado. The Grand Army of the Republic, at their national encampment just held at Detroit, have selected Washington, D. C. as the city in which to hold their encamp ment next year. The drouth in Connecticut is the worst they had for years. Frank Mel bourn and the government rain makers bad better stay back east. What we need out west is a machine to stop the rainfall. R, G. Pen field of the firm of McDonald &. Pen Held, contractors, Froemont, Neb., is here figuring on the plans and specifi cations for building the Colorado Irriga tion Canal company’s canal. La Junta Tribune. The press dispatches in the daily pa pers announce that the President took a bath yesterday. They failed to state however what kind of soap he used, if any. These associated press agents are getting negligent. The Denver Republican is now enjoy ing a 8100,000 libel suit brought against them by ox-City Auditor MoKnight. As that gentleman has boon grossly slan dered on numerous occasion by the Re publican be is likely to receive judg ment for a lurge slice of the profits of the paper this year. The United States civil service com mission announces that it is with great difficulty that it it secures a sufficient number of applicants for the railway mail service for the territories of New Mexico and Arizona and the states of Montana and Idaho. Just think of pub lic places hunting for applicants. Fred Harvey, who owns all the rail road eating houses along tho line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe has ob tained an injunction from tho circuit court of Cook county, Illinois, to re strain tho railroad company from ruu ning dining upon ils lines west of Kan sas City. Tho company has filed a mo tion to dissolve. At the last spring election in Denver the Republican bolted the ticket put up by its own party and helped to elect Mr. Currigan and other democratic of ficials. In last Sunday’s issue of that papor they displayed a well gotten up cartoon suggesting that they would like to see tho whole lot of them go up in a baloou. Their hind sight was hotter than their foresight. President Polk has written a letter to the State central committee of the peo ples’ party in Louisiana slating that it was a violation of oue article of the con stitution of the party for them to fuse with the democratic party. We had never noticed that particular sec tiou before, but now hasten to assure our readers that there is one sound, sub stantial article in their constitution. While the “rain wizzard,” Frank Mel bourne, has just failed, on his ninth trial, to bring rain from a clear sky, and has consequently lost some of his back ers, tho rainfall expedition scut to u ranch near Midland, Texas, by the United States department of agriculture has scored a victory over the elements at its first attempt last Monday. They sot off a number of bombs and other or plosive's and tho result was a heavy shower that extended over an area of about oue thousand square miles. Tho rain did not. fall until about ten hours after they set off tho explosives. The tariff reformers refuse to be satis fied by any concession short of absolute free foreigu trade and its necessary ad junct of increased taxation on tin* prop erty and business of the country. The lack of candor in their discussion of the tariff law is mode conspicuous by the appeals of free trade attorneys to tho credulity of their Ijearers. Along with the hourly discredited charges that the amount oftariff ia ultimately paid by consumers, goes other equally untenable theories and assertions that every busi ness man in this country knows to be false. Nearly every merchant in this country is selling tariff protected goods as cheaply us similar articles can l»e bought in any part of the world, and some of these articles are sold for loss than the tariff would be if imported.

We understand that be will have charge of of the editorial department. —Las Ani mus Leader. Acting Secretary Chandler has render ed a decision in tho case of Hnrnish ugainst Wallace, on appeal from the find ing of the local land officers at Sacra mento, Cal., which will materially change tho practice of the Department as to agricultural entries which are subse quently found to be mineral in character. The Acting Secretary holds that “ in or der to defeat any agricultural entry on tho ground of the mineral character of the land, it must be shown that mineral was known to exist at tho time of the entry.’’ Heretofore the practice has been to cancol agricultural entries where mineral was discovered at any time prior to tho issuunce of the patent. The Speakership contest is one of the most interesting of tho kind in years. Last winter, too early for safe predic tion, the friends of Mills thought ho had the advantage. After that the scales inclined to Crisp, of Georgia. In tho beginning much was heard of a Western candidate, but latterly Springer’s lxwm has seemed to depend on tho failure of the farmers’ movement. The difficulty in Crisp’s way from tho start of a di vided home delegation seems to increase. It seems imjtossible for Crisp to accede to the Ocala platform without which ac cession four members of the Georgia delegation say they cannot vote for him. The question arises will they demand as much of any other candidate? Will they go to Hatch or Springer? District Attorney. Elsewhere a correspondent calls our attention to the fact that a district at torney is to bo elected this fall, and sug gests the Hon. O. G. Hess, of this town, as the republican candidate for that po sition. The suggestion is timely and wise, and while we have not bad tho time to consult Mr. Hess to see whether ho would be a candidate, there can be no question as to his ability for the position, and that he would boa popular candi date. The Register cheerfully endorses all its correspondent says and thero is no doubt that if Mr. Hess will allow his name to be used, the east part or tho district will be solid for liis nomina tion, and while the district is close, if nominated ho will be elected; which would menu a district attorney who would attend to tho dutios of his nflico aud boa credit to tho poople of this district. A. E. Roe’s wheat averaged twenty-six bushels to the acre. The strangest thing about it is that the crop was not irrigated at all this year. It was of tho fall varie ty and last fall he submitted it to a thor ough irrigation, sinco which it has re ceived no wator but rainfall and accord ind to the thresher measurement yielded twenty-six bushels to tho acre. This re sult is wo think a strong argument for the fall wheat and loss spring and sum mer irrigation. Pall wheat has all ad vantages of early growth in the spring and if thoroughly irrigated in the fall this early growth will act as a preventa tive of evaporation or drying out of tho ground. The shade will assist materi ally in retaining tho moisture and there by disponso with tho necessity of irriga tion in tho Bummmor. It is thought by some of our best farmers that tho irriga tion of wheat in the early summer makes smut and rust, thereby damaging tho quality as well ns the quantity of the yield. This portion of Colorado, its cli mate. rainfall and irrigation is far better adapted to the raising of fall wheat than it is to tho spring variety.- Las Animas Leader. A Good Suggestion. Lamar, August 14th, 1801. Hilitor Register: As the time is approaching when can didates for District Attorney will be placed in the Held by both political par ties, would it not bo well for the repub licans of this judicial district to be thinking of some good, reliable, republi can attorney for that position y As the west end of the district had the last can didate it seems to me no more than fair and just that this year it should be con ( e .'ded to the f ast side, and while I have not consulted with the gentleman, yet I would suggest Hon. O. G. Hess as a can didate for that position. Mr. Hess is a sound, rolinbjo and able lawyer and pos sesses every quallocation necessary for a successful district attorney; he is besides a staunch and true republican, was a gallant union soldier who was severely wounded during the sorvice.and he would reflect credit upon the office if elected to it. He is well known in the district and in my opinion would if nominated, run far ahead of his ticket. A number of your readers woul bo pleased to hear your views upon the matter. Very respectfully. Farmer.
