Friend Snediker is rather wild in
his statistics outside Of those relating
to Kansas. The number of acres
Of land In cultivation in Kansas in
1876, was 5,O35, 697, and the populs-
ton in 1877, 500, 916. Estimating
that the cultivated area is now
100000 acres and the population
10000, the proportion OF currency
to which this state would be enti-
tied, on G.'s plan, would be $780,
900 for population and 100000, 900
for cultivated land, total of $67,-
100000, or $50 per capita, as he
states. But estimating the popula-
ton of the entire country at 5O,OOO,-
600, and the cultivated area at 1885,
100000 acres, the total amount OF
additional currency authorized
would be S5o0OOO, 900 and 1885,
100000, or l,S5O,OO0,OOO. This would
be an average of $37 per capita.
Add the outstanding greenbscks,
say $3.50, 100000, and the total would
be 80, 200 100000, or S45 per capita,
which would be less per capita than
friend Snediker estimates we had
in 1866 and which be desires again.
It will not do to take Kansas as 9
sample of the entire country, be-
cause the proportion OF cultivated
land to the population of this state
is unusually large.
Friend Snediker will also, no
doubt, agree that the effect OF in
creasing the currency in q gradual
and natural manner, with reason
ably we'll defined limit to its aggre-
gate amount, would be very differ
emit from having the increase take
place suddenly, with prospective
increase behind that limited only

Why are the lawyers 80 much in
terested in Peters success? His
campaign has been made by them.
One of his principal fuglemen is
Judge Campbell, of Wichita. These
two judges have had the bad taste
to 60 around to the towns election
eering. They have everywhere en-.
listed the support of the lawyers
In Emporia Peters support comes
mostly from the lawyers. They
have worked for him arduously and
industriously. A number of them,
Democrats as we'll as Republicans
left their offices all day last Satur-
day, and pulled and Lauled and
iportuned the voters for Peters.
Why is all this? Why are they in
terested moro than others in his
cause? Can anybody tell?

There is now no doubt but that
this gentleman will be nominated
at Wichita for another term in con-
gress, on Thursday next, the 18th
inst. His straightforward course
in congress has given him q large
support among the people, and es-
pecially in the southwest, for which
he has worked faithfully. He has
already carried several counties in
Judge Peters judicial district.
From a careful estimate, not count
ing any of the doubtful counties, we
figure that he has q majority of elev-
en- votes IN the convention. 1t will
undoubt eddy be more than this, but
we prefer to be safe in our estimate.
