Fynosed az our citizens 10 the scapingknlie OF
the savage OIL the west, and to the revolver and
batcbet OF the assassin on the east, thorough and
early organization Of the militia s urgently called for
By the Constitution this duty devoves upon the Gen
era Assembly. Measures should at once be taken 10
encourage the organization Of volunteer compan,e:,
and 10 procure the 10 which the state is entitled.
The disposition Of the Public Lands is matter for
serious consideration. Under existing laws they be-
long to the General Government, and are used az
source Of revenue The policy Of such use is At
least questionable. Tie amount received into the
Treasury from the sale Of public lands ls incon.deTa-
ble-smouDtiDg in the aggregate TO about s2,oO'o01
annually.
This sup. distributed among the States where Tue
lands are situated would aid essentially the cause o
education or the establishment OF charitable institn-
tiOrs but Is entirely unnecessary IN the aredy over
flowing Treasury Of the General Government Even
IA matter of revenue the Treasury gains nothing by
selling the public domain 10 the people, Tor tne prlhci
pal revenue is derived from the products OF tae -oI,
and these will be Increased as the number OF lGnd-
holders increases and in proportion TO the CAPITA ~
vested in its cultivation. The 81 25 per acre laid out
on the land will produce far more revenue 10 me oV-
ernment in few years. than if deposed IN the lreas-
ury. The true policy for any G0vcrnment IL 70 give
10 every citizen, who will cultivate it, farm without
price and secure it to him for permanent homesteai
Especially should the citizen who deprves himself OF
tie blessings Of home ard civilization for tine, TO
reclaim the wilderness that it may be added to the
Commonwealth be allowed his land grati9.
But if the land must be sold and the proceed applied
to defiay expenses OF Government, the State should
he the recipient and not the General Government.
Every new State must incur extraordinary expenses
in setting its Government in notion 1t has its public
edifces State house, Asyums, Pententiary, Univer-
sities SchoolhOuses, Railroads, &c TO construct AMI
limited means at command. Should Congress IN rs rs
wisdom donate we have reason to believe it will
all the public lands of Kansas to the State, it will
then be the duty of the Assembly to dispose of them
In such event, by donating lG0 acres as a home
stead 70 each resident of five years, and allowing no
one person TO purchase of the State more than 100
acres addit ional, the State would become rapidly
settled and at the time secure fund for educa
tiOnal and other purposes equal to Its necessities.
The udiscriminate sale Of intoxicating drinks in a
State like Kansas, where numerous Indian tribes,
is proc ouctive of much mischief. Some tribes within
borders still uncivilized and indulge their ap
petites without restraint, while many of the other
tribes are equally unfortunate. IL is duty we owe to
the Indian that we not only cultivate the most friendly
intercourse, but that protect him from injury and
this subject should not be overlooked by the General
Assembly.
Tie use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage i'm
pairs the health, morals, good order and prosperity OF
any community and the traffic in them Is an unmiti-
gated evil and is for the Legislature IN its wis lon
to adopt such measures as shall best secure the public
welfare.
