No new State ever laid the founda-
ton for educating her people-intellec-
tualfy and moraliy-broader and deep
er are tho pride and the glory OF the
safe No old State, with all its expe-
rience, can boast anything superior.
Modelled nftor the Ohio system, per-
haps the best specimen of democracy in
the world, l mean intellectual and
moral democracy, that which dispenses
with free and equal hand for the in
tellectual and moral culture of all her
children. They have perfected and cx-
tended it wherever populations need,
in all her broad territory. AS you en-
ter any town in the State or pass any
considerable settlement in the country,
the first and most prominent object
you behold, is fine, and III most cases
a large school house. The State and
the general government provided with
a liberal hand for schools and colleges,
and an intelligent, active and enterpri-
sing people are carrying it ont, and Civ
ing to every child in the State chance
for good, free education. Competent
teachers are employed i'll all their COM
mon schools and academies, and able
professors in all her colleges. Churches
of all kinds flourish with the. schools,
and the teacher and preacher are in
constant demand. The deep interest
taken by the people of Kansas in the
subject of education, and the ample
means provided, is worth untold mill
lions to the future of the State.
HEALTH AND SANITARY PROSPECTS.
The carly settlers of most of the new
states West have suffered more or
less from sickness, especially along the
valley districts. Various malarious
diseases have been more or less preYa-
lent. There are some parts of Kansas
where the same may prevail to some
extent. One would expect it III the
Neosho and some other valleys, yet
they have had but little disease for a
new state. There is peculiar atmos-
phere in Transformation purer, dry
er, or containing more oxygen, can
not say-but it has most eXhilerating
effect on the system. 1t might be CALI
ed champagne air. Itnot only stimulates
the nerve centres, inYigorating the
body, giving greater volition and phys
ical power, but it exhiierates the mind,
increasing cheerfulness, sociability and
thought. There are almost daily
breezes on the prairies and always cool
nights. One may sleep with his win
dow up, and the wind blowing directly
on him, and yet take no cold. One
might suppose that the great fall of tenn
perature, from day to night, would
produce frequent colds, pneumonia OF
malarious diseases, but it does not. The
cool nights seem to increase health and
vigor. One seems TO breathe easier in
the air of Kansas. This is particularly
the case with debilitated and asthmatic
constitutions. / met with four cases,
i'll my travels, subject to asthma, of per-
sons who had not had q single attack In
Kansas. This is characteristic of most
now states, yeti think the future will
/ demonstrate the fact that the atmos-
phere of Kansas is most peculiarly
adapted to consumptive, lasthmatic and
bronbhial diseases.
! GENERAL. CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE AMI
FUTURE PROSPECTs OF KANSAS.
One would naturally suppose where
such vast tide of emigration is pour
| ing into a. State, coming from all
parts of the country and the world,
! they would present a heterogeneous
mess, dissimilar physically, intellectu-
ally, politically and morally ;and such
! is to some extent the case; yet tt is as
1 tonishing to see how rapidly popula-
/ tions comeing from all parts OF the
! country and the world, with all their
! different habits, customs, languages, re-
! ligions and educations, and settling IN
/ the same State, identifying their in.
terests and hopes, for the same great
end, become homogeneous and unite
/ their energies to build up individual
town, county and State interests.
Amid all the moving mass of hn.
mainly, now seething and surging il
the wild wave of emigration rushing
into Kansas, you will find many keen
shrewd, far-seeing men, not only Amer
| lean, but of all nationalities. among .tilC
settlers in the State. You will NEE

who are willing to look after all tht

with all the needed candidates for off

more lucrative the Office the more will
