THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,1882-
THE Legislature of the Sandwich Islands is not behind the world in the liberality of jts appropriations. During the recent session it appropriated $4 000,000, knowing that the national revenue is only $2,000,000. At this rate the kingdom of his Majesty David Kalakaua is apt lo canter to the bow-wows.
Dcuixo the last fiscal year the government sold 3,699 ,b99 acres of public lands, mainly agricultural, for the suinof $6,877,271. In Alabama were sold 59,000 acres in Arkansas, 58,556 in Florida, 130,520 in Louisiana, 370,032 in Mississippi, 219,889. The largest sales were in Dakota Territory—698,094 acres—and in Michigan, 408,778 acres. The amount of land entered under the Homestead law •was 0,347,729 acres under the timber •culture act, 2,009,797 acres.
A TEXAS editor, who has found all other arguments unavailing, advises the planting oi trees, on the plea that it will make it much bandit for lynching parties who now have to travel inconvenient distances to find limbs.
THE C. incinuati Commercial says: It is, we believe, not constitutional now, in Iowa, for the yellow jackets to suck ro ten apples. In Kansas a fresh moral issue to rip up the Republican party on, that it may be strengthened, is promised in woman suffrage, it would be well for the people of Ohio to entir a protest against this style of progress.
Ox one of the main streets of Council Bluffs, Iowa, two houses stand on either side of a tombstone establishment. Each house is occupied by a doctor, and di rectly opposite an undertaker plies his trade. Next door to the undertaker lives a third physician, whose house atijoins a livery stable on the other side, and until recently a hospital was the next building but one. The Council Blurt's Nonpareil wants to know if any city in the United .States can beat lhat combination.
TIIE Evansville Courier says: "The Liquor League may as well understand, first as last, that the Democracy of this county are not prepared to swap off the rest of their candidates, from the candidates for Congress down to the candidate for Coroner, for two representatives in a Legislature that has no business of importance lo transact except that which is of especial interest •chiefly to the Liquor League. We have been played for gudgeons very successfully many times, but not even the wild est-eyed idiots in the party will swallow .such bait as that"
All of which we hcsrtilv endorse.
HERE is a view of one of the results ef prohibition in Kansas which is not altogether rose colored and is not calculated to make tho average citizen and tax payer rend his linen for the purpose of swinging Indiana into the same line. The writer says: "The assertion that Kan?as has lost numbers of immigrants in consequence of its liquor prohibition laws, is borne out by the figures. Out ol' the seven hundred thousand immigrants that arrived in the United States during the past year, not over three thousand have settled in that state. Some who went there with the inteutiou of locating departed for other regions as 6oon as the prohibition laws were brought to their notice. In one case the leader of a party of colonists from Austria, who were possessed of abundant means, and would have made a very desirable addition to the population of the state, was on the point of closing a contract with a land agent for the purchase of a large farming tract, when his atteution was called to these enactments. That brought the negotiations to a 6udden conclusion."
SECRETARY CHANDLER and Boas Robeson says an exchange, are birds of a feather politically, and it seems they have gone to flocking together in business also. At any rate, they are joint owners of the ^uilding 'occupied by the pension bureau, which was [erected by Boss Shepherd in his flush days and rented to the government at a figure greatly out of proportion to its fair value. Chandler and others have just purchased another building, which the government is about to rent, arid in one way or another he seems to be driving a very thriving busi ness asja government landlord. Perhaps •these buildir.es realize no more than they are actually worth, but however that may be it is a kind of business officials ought notjlo engage in. AJcabinet officer certain ly could not be a [government contractor for carrying mails or building ships without evoking very general condemnation, and the situation is not very different if he buys buildings and forthwith rents them to the goveAiment. It looks bad even if it is not bad."
It is interesting to note in this connection that R. B. F. Peirce, the congressman from this district, aided Robeson and Keifer in everything, will support
Vf n«
them next winter, and if elected will support them through his recoro. Do the people of this district desire that?
THE crop estimates this year are' far apart1 The New York Commercial Bulletin and the Public are 100,000.000 bushels apart from each other, while they agree, and Bradstreet's unitefj with them, in insinuating that some of the figures of the Department of Agriculture are of no account. Here are some specimen statistics on the wheat crop New York Public, 490,000,000 bushels Department of Agiiculture, 500,000,009 bushels Cincinnati Price Current, largely exceeding 515,000,000 bushels Chicago Tribune, 530,000,000 bushels St. Paul Pioneer Press, 550,000,000 bushels New York Commercial Bulletin, 570,000,000 bushels. These are the statements in which the varioes authorities seem to place most confidence. The Commercal Bulletin would not be surprised to see 600,000,000 bushels, the Public to see only 470,000,000. Here is a fline chance for speculators to go on. The Public discusses the "unreliability" of the "so called statistics" of the "so-called Agricultural Bureau," and compliments its neighbor by saying that there are not many well-informed persons who would not rather have the bare ^uess of the Bulletin than the so-called statistics and estimates of the bureau.

Prof. James H.

THE Brazil people think there is something wrong about William Hicks, Esq. They were never troubled with burglars until he struck the town, and since then about fifteen houses have been burglarized. Of course they don't know that Bill did it. A darkey was caught in one house and jumped from the second story to the ground, but was not seen close enough to be recognized. They say out there that when Bill leaves the ci'y for a day or two the depredations stop. When he returns they arc resumed. Still they have never got hold of any evidence to convict. ...

Sunflower Literature. From Monday's Dally
The bead of a mammoth sunflower has been brought to the GAZETTE office by the Oscar Wilde of the North-end in whose garden it grew. The stalk was twelve feet in feet length and at the base was four inches in diameter. But even with a stalk of that size it was not able to hold up its mighty bead. Across the head with the leaves folded tight it measures fifteen inches and nineteen inches with them outspread. It is, we fearlessly assert, the biggest sunflower ever raised in the Wabash valley and the Weekly GAZETTE will be sent for a year free to any person who raised and shall bring in its mate in size and weight to the GAZETTE office during the next week.
From Tuesday's Dally.
Mr. Dinkle, who lives on College street about a quarter of a mile east of the city limits, takes the cake up to the present time on a big sunflower. He brought to the office to-day one which measures twenty inches across the flower. This is the biggest so far and now the WEEKLY GAZETTE will be given for a year to any person who can beat it.

B. F. Rogers, who lives on the Jenckes farm, east of the city, in Lost creek, has seen the GAZETTE'S sunflower challenge and goes us two better. He brought in two sunflowers, the largest ot which is something over fifteen inches in diameter, and he claims that he has a bigger one still he is saving for the connfy fair. In the specimens he brought the seeds have been picked more than half out by hungry birds, and Saturday, Nick Roberts, old Humpty Bumpty himself, called at the GAZETTE office and wanted some of them to plant on his farm in the East. He took half a bushel or so of the seed without perceptibly diminishing the supply, and went on his way rejoicing.
