THE SCHOOL LANDS.

The legislature ought to overhaul the
whole school land business. On the
average, lands which are salable at any
price have doubled in value since the
school lands were authorized to be sold.
The school fund ought to have the BEN
eft of this rise, and not spectators.
Large Quantities of the lands are going
into the hands of spectators, and by
some hOcuS pocuS none, or next to none
of them bring more than the minimum
price-three dollars per acre. We
would like to see the price so fixed that
capitalists could not afford to buy and
hold the lands, for land is always worth
the most, intrinsically, to the active set
tier, who buys it for improvement !;
while in the latter case the general in
terests of the State are advanced, and in
the latter they are not. We presume
that no day passes but that sales of these
lands are made by spectators at double
what the school fund received for them.
The Jaws relating to the disposal of
the school lands need thorough revision.
AS they now stand the record.Of sales
is confused, and must inevitably remain
so. Authority ought to be given to
some officer to overhaul the whole sys-
tem-to harmonic and make uniform
the county and state. records-to compel
uniformity in making returns, credit
ing payments, etc. We commend this
subject to prospective legislators; it is
a practical and important one.-Cona-

chase is peculiarly adopted to stock
growing, which is becoming a source
of wealth. In Sumner county there is
no stone to be found except on Slate
Greek, where there are quarries of the
finest permean rock, in the absence of a
quantity of timber this rock supplies
great want. The land in this county is
high and rolling without being broken
and in no place so low or wet or swampy
as to be unhealthy, but are comparative
Iy dry and rolling. This is indeed
Gods Country" lie has gradual slope
from the streams and is better than the
valley land for producing crops. Set
tiers can now have first choice of claims,
there being only few settlers along the
streams. The climate mild and heal
thy and is not subject to either extreme
of heat or cold. We have no winter
that is, only a few days at time.
Scarcely any snow falls, in fact, stock
winters without being fed, and comes
out in spring, sleek and fat and ready
for the market. Drouths in Sumner
county are humbugs, they never exist.
The grass is the most nutritious that
grows, supplying sufficient food in win
ter and summer, both for beef cattle and
sheep. This and west from it is now the
buffalo range put they are gradually
moving back to give place to cultiva-
ton.
The county will be organized this
winter. There never was such an OPP
portunity for those wanting choice
elslpIs. without waiting more than one
season to have his neighbors, his schools,
his churches, and all his other necessary
accommodations surrounding him.

ABSENT MINDED PEOPLE.


Absent minded people are funny.
Sir Isaac Newton wanted his servant TO
carry out a stove that was getting too
hot. A fellow stole his dinner before
his eyes, and he afterwards thought he
had eaten it because he saw the dishes
empty. A Scotch professor walked in
to the middle of horse pond while
bordering on Final cause" Ben.
Franklin pushed down the fire in his
pipe with the finger of a young lady
sitting at his side, and severely burned
the lily white poker. A gentleman in
Troy received letter in the dark, used
the letter to light his lamp, and then
looked about for it to read. Pere Ora
try. one day in Paris, thinking he bad
left his watch at home, took it cut of his
pocket to see If he had time TO go back
after it. Neander, the church historian,
used TO go to his lectures in his night
cap and night gown. and sometimes
walked in the gutter. But all those
cases do not equal that of man who
will put down q left bower when he
might know that the opposite party
holds the right and ace.

THE UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Considerable discussion has been in
dulged in by persons in different parts
of the State, relative to who is the most
proper candidate for the United States
Senate. Too many seem to be govern
ed by no higher considerations than
those which Mr.. Clarke gave in most of
his speeches during the late canvass,
which were mostly of mere personal
character, and did not involve any i'm
portant questions with regard 10 State
or National interests. The great burden
of his speeches were composed of state
ments with regard to persons connected
with the Press, who were not in favor
of his denomination. His defeat in that
nomination has led him to seek the
higher position, and it is quite likely
that he and his friends will do all that
promises of public patronage and the
too common'appliances that are used by
who men are desperate for place, can
do to secure his election. We have
no expectation that Mr.. Clarke will
be elected, but should the calamity
befall us, we would feel very well as
sured that the opinions of members, up
on whom the responsibility of the cleo
ton rests, had been changed through
the too common influence that is brought
to bear upon members of such bodies
The money of candidates, or of theil
friends, has been supposed to govern
their selections in some of the Older
States. This is matter which ought Il
be watched with jealous care, with re
gard to the votes of our own members

! lief by the action of the late nominating

SUMNER COUNTY.

The Surveyors for the Government
are on the west side of the county get
ting ready to commence the survey of
that, Cowley and Howard counties.
The county of Sumner is bounded as
follows: Commencing at the south
west corner of Butler county, thence
south with the east line of range two
east, to the Thirty-sixth Degree of
North latitude; thence west with said
parallel to the west line of range four
west, thence north with said range line
to the Southwest corner of Sedgwick
county to the place of beginning, being
30 miles north and south and 81 miles
east and west. Sumner county con-
tains more arabic and fertile lands than
any other county of the same boundary
in Kansas, and every foot of it away
from the beds of the streams is good
corn or grain lands of the finest quality.
The streams running through the coun-
ty are the Arkansas river, across the
n. Z. corner, the Nenneshaw, Cor Good
River,) the Slate, and Shawacaspash.
Four streams of living water, we'll tim
bered with cottonwood in abundance,
of large growth and can be converted
into lumber. On Slate Greek, there is
hard lumber such as walnut, oak,
blackberry, sc. The Arkansas river is
in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado,
crossing east through three-fourths of
this State and then turning southeast
and crossing the southern boundary in
to the Indian Territory, 1t has broad
shallow bottom which will not admit of
navigation.
The manner in which this land will
come into market will cause the county
to be quickly and closely settled up.
| The actual settlers will obtain this land
by living on it six months and making
the requisite amount OF Improvements,
at S1.25 per acre. Spectators will not
have the chance to gobble up these
lands, and the curse of SPECTATORS and
| land sharks will be avoided.
The 80 mile strip will come in under
an equitable provision. The soil of
Sumner county equals any in the State
for depth and richness. Twelve miles
back from the stream the grass is as
| luxuriant as cane brakes and the soil is
from to LIFT in depth, of black sandy
loan, equaled only in Nothern Illinois,
with slight quantity of sand, which
will aid the eultivator very materially.
These valleys are the most picturesque
and fertile regions in the State. A few
farms have been opened and prove by
their unprecedented Yields to be the
most productive portion of the State.
AS much as 100 bushels of corn per acre
was obtained this season, the extreme
productiveness being attributed to the
washing of the immense deposits Of

EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.

Commissioner Barnard, of the Ma
tional Bureau of Education, in his an
nual report says:
Very interesting reports of the con-
dition and Workings of the public
schools have been received from twen-
ty-eight States, which show that there
are Isl 1894 persons engaged in teaching
in said schools. One-third of these are
in New York, Ohio and Illinois. The
sexes are divided as follows: 1IS,S66
females and 81 ,52S males-showing that
woman's rights are duly recognized in
this department at least. In twenty
States at least-all from which informa-
ton can be Obtained-the annual sala-
ries of teachers amount to So, 36S, 943.
There is a marked difference in the
wages paid in various States. For in
stance, Nevada gives male teachers
Sl1S.75 per month in coin, and females,
So. 16; while in North Carolina males
get S20.50 and females get $3.50 cur
rency, and pay their own board at the
average rate of S12 a month. In Cali
fornia male teachers receive SSl.33, fe-
males, S62.Sl ; in Minnesota, males have
1891, females S22.45; and in Maine,
males 1927, females, S14. The aver
age total absence from public schools in
twenty four States is nearly 5000, 600

HARD BUT TRUE.

Mr.. A. B. Hard is Speer's brother-in-
law. He was a deputy under Speer.
He was also a Notary Public. He of
course was a witness before the grand
jury, when he swore that his notarial
seal was always kept sacred, and that he
never certified to jurat falsely. About
a dozen witnesses confronted him and
testified that their names were attached
to certificates without his knowledge,
and that the statements certified to were
utterly false. Hard thereupon opened
his eyes, and with sundry emphatic
statements, that would be construed as
oaths if uttered by ordinary mortal,
swore that Speer ct al. were ID ras-
Gals, and had stolen his seal, and forged
his name to divers and sundry docu-
ments. All of which goes to prove that
Hard is more honest than the rest of the
crew.-LedceRsroTth Times

A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.

The benefits resulting from competition in
railroad traffic are well illustrated by the fol-
lowing: A citizen OF Eureka, in Greenwood
county, recently informed us that first class
freights from st. Louis to Humboldt, via the
the l.. l.. & g. road, were one dollar hun
dred. while the rates to Emporia, via the Il.
Z. and a. T. Il :. +. roads, were one dollar
and seventy cents per hundred. As Hum
boldt and Emporia are each fifty miles from
Eureka, It follows that the entire freighting
business Of that section Will be carried on
from Humboldt, unless the X. +. road shall
modify its tariff so rs to compete with its new
rival.-TopekG Commonwealth.
There seems to be some mistake
about the above statements. Whether
they are made Intentionally or not, by
the informant of the Commonwealth,
we will not undertake to say. The best
proof in the world that the statements
contained in the above extract in regard
to the difference in price of freights
over the two routes is found in the
freight schedules themselves. Believ-
ing there would not be so great differ
ence in the prices over the two routes,
we looked the matter up, and give the
following figures as the result:
