INDIGNATION IN KANsis-THE RELIEF SwIyDLE- [
Learenrorh, Kansas, March Is, lSGl-An indig- il
nant protest against the outrageou misrepresenta-
tions of Army and Pomeroy is swelling in loud and t.
fierce murmurs from every quarter of Kansas. The d
people are just beginning to discover the extent to
which their condition has been belied, and to real
ize the injury which the infamous proceedings will
certainly bring about The effect of the late sensa- ..
tion dispatches has been to create the general i'm
preston in the East that, not only a majority S
OF our inhabitants the verge of starvation but ~
also that Kansas is desert of perpetual droutb II
and subject to repeated famnes similar to that of
last season Several leading journals of the East !,
will be far disastrous than the drontb itIf
Intelligent persons from the East saw that Kanso:
will be retarded at least five years by the false re- e
ports which have been spread over the country 60
concerning her distressed condition aud Indifferent =;
resources. Her people have discovered the =,

SO general has become the impression that this "
',rellet business Is a gigantic scheme to feather
the nests OF those engaged in it, that popular sent-
ment will drive the coming State Legislature to /
appoint committee to investigate the whole SUBJ
Ject. The thing will certainly be done; and the D
committee will not only have power to send for q
persons and papers, but also the time to make c.
complete ventilation. They can hardly report dur
ing this session, and may possibly be empowered to
hold over until the next to make their report to
the Governor. p

remarks however, applicable to the very high an

quite so strict as it was earlier in the season. The
