FfiOM THE WEST.
A Special Lett r From the Times Cor
respondent.
OVERLAND TO COLORADO.
From the Times Special Correspondent
Hutchison-, Kan, July 12, 'S3.
With a match box for a writing
!esk and under a cottonwood tree
beside the tar famed Arkansas river,
this letter is penciled. There is
nothing romantic about the spot, but
there is something of a monotony in
the excessive heat of the sun and the
endless sandv plain that surrounds
us. We are very near the outskirts
ot that portion of Kansas that is
tillable arid yields remunerative
crops to the husbandman. With the
exception ot the country in Green
wood county known as the Flint
hills,"the entire country trom this
point to the eastern line of the state
is almost as thickly settled as old
Bates county. The general improve
ments, of course, will not equal
those back there, but the chief part
of the land is occupied and being im
proved as rapidly as circumstances
will admit. Until we came within
twenty-five miles of the Arkansas
valley there were not a dozen fields
of wheat to be counted, but in this
valley there is as fine wheat as was
ever raised, and to all appearance,
plenty" of it. Oats and corn com
prise the rest of the crops and is
most excellent. New wheat is sell
ing at seventy cents per bushel and
old corn at thirty cents.
It seems a little strange to us who
have hitherto gleaned our knowledge
of Kansas from what we heard and
not from actual observation, to wit
ness such splendid corn and wheat
and oats growing on these broad.
dry prairies From the information
Missourians usually get of Kansas
they are lead to infer that even this
part ot which we write is naught but
a land ot starvation. Let me say
you are misinformed, and add that
the Jayhawker state, thus far from
the eastern border, is a great and
promising country. What impres
sions we may form of Kansas further
west will be furnished in a subse
quent letter.
Hutchison is a good town judg
ing from our short acquaintance
and contains about twenty-five hun
dred souls. It is situated on the east
bank of "Big River," as people call
the Arkansas out here, and is not
particularly noted for the beauty of
its streets or the stateliness of its
buildings. There are some very
large and well constructed mercan
tile houses in Hutchison, many of
them equaling the average Butler es
tablishment. We have now been on the road
two weeks and our journey is only
about one third accomplished. The
members of our party including your
correspondent, are in usual health
and imbued with an abundance of
spirit. We are not rushing through
as most travelers do, but take things
easy that we my have all the satis
faction there is in crossing the plains.
This is the end ot our second let
ter. Our third will give the readers
of the Times our impressions of the
country from here to the mountains.
Mc.
Martin Farquhar Tupper, the pro
fessional moralift and Solomonizcr
of platitudes, is thought of in Eng
land ana by some very worthey peo
ple despite Thackeray's witty asser
tion to the contrary. He seems to
he as poor as Job's turkey or the sul
tan's turkey or his own writings, for
it is deemed necessary, probably as
a mark no less ot respect than of
compassion, to raise a fund to be
presented him. To this laudable
undertaking Gladstone, Browning,
Ruskm ana Lord Houghton are
'ending their admiring energies.
Moses iiandy, who has been a
handy man around the Philadelphia
Press for some time, intends to resign
and go to Europe. He has been too
busy in his life to accumulate bric-a-brac.
Hence there will be no sale.
Mr. Knox, the Texas humorist,
who invented the sham duel as an
advertisement tor a book, is in Phil
adelphia trying to explain the joke
to the club dudes, Three ot them
have died in an effort to assimilate
the humor.
Mr. G. W. Smalley, having made
use of the phase "female suffrage,"
is reminded by the Springfield Re
publican that "the time is nigh when
using 'female' as an equivalent for
'woman' will be as tatatal as spiling
negro with two gs."
Of Miss Lizzie Frazier, who
makes a full hand on her father's
farm, the Nevada, Cal., Transcript
says: "She is worth a ten-acre lot
ot lac-de-dah girls, and the young
mann who gets her for a wife will
get something worth having."
The largest sponge ever fished up
on the Florida coast is now on ex
hibition in New York. It is fully
eiht feet in circumference. It was
found oft Key West, and it would
take a long time for any one who
used it to squeeze it out.
Miss Kate Vaughn, who ran away
from London with Col. Welleslev,
icir presumptive to the dukedom of
Wellington, will bring a theatrical
company to America. American
men, and women too, are thought to
be willing to pay almost any price
for a sight of the beauty that can lead
1 nobleman astray.
Mrs. Frank Leslie's friends con
tradict the renewed story ot her en
gagement to the Marquis de Leuville
Mrs. Leslie was in London during
June, in the height of the season.
Lord Houghton gave a luncheon to
her, and in various ways she met a
great deal ot the literary society ot
London.
Good society will be delighted to
learn that the Aurania brought over
this week Mr. Arthur Guest of Eng
land, the brother ot Lorb Wmborn,
who had in his charge a magnificent
dog, a present to S. L. M. Barlow,
trom Fred Clay, the eomposer. Mr.
B. will exhibit his dog at the next
bench show.
By the way we merely remark
casually without any sinister mean
ing did anybody notice that all the
accounts of the Fourth of July cele
bration at the "palatial mansion" of
Henry C. Bowen gave the still more
important fact that the host was the
editor ot a religio-politico-society
newspaper? Mr. Bowen is not the
first American patriot who has work
ed the declaration ot independence
for an "ad." Utica Observer.
Every democratic state platform
thus tar has demanded the recogni
tion of this question. Each one has
put down in so many words that
while complete tariff reform may be
years before completely consumma
ted, vet it must be a recognized
question in the democratic party, and
which the pasty must pledge itself to
solve.
It would be polical suicide to ig
nore this question. It would be the
crowning mistake of the democratic
party, already famous for making
mistakes, to elect a man to the
speaker's chair of the next congress
who would direct the whole machin
ery of legislation against this ques
tion. Mr. Randall would do this.
The great hope of the democratic
party in such states as Ohio, Iowa
and Minnesota is, to bring within its
embrace the great numbers of re
publican tariff reformers. Mr.
Randall would repel all these. It
would be political suicide to do it.
The democratic party will not com
mit this act.
