conveyed another thing to the commit.

A. Exactly.

is not worth a moments consideration.

SENATOR INGALLS, AND THE SETTLERS
ATTORNEYS FEES BILL.

1t having been reported in the south
ern part of the state that Senator ingalls,
was unfriendly to the bill now before
Congress, for the payment of the settlers
attorneys fees in the Usage Coded Land
cases, Mr.. Ingalls, publishes letter in the
Parsons Sun distinctly defining his posi-
ton in regard to the bill, and showing just
what he has done in the matter. Mr..
Ingalls, is chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Indian affairs and when the
bill came before that committee, he Sc
cured, after serious opposition from two
members of the committee, a favorable
report. Afterwards the bill came up in
the Senate, when that body was consider
ing cases under a rule which limited the
consideration of subjects to five minutes
and gives any senator the right to post
pone bill by single objection. Mr..
Sargent, of California, objected to this
bill as being too important to be acted
upon in SO short time, and under the
rule it was, of course, laid over. The
bill may be yet reached in the Senate,
and if it is Mr.. Ingalls, will favor its pas
sage by every means in i.is power. Mr..
ingalls, sustains his statements by ex-
tracts from the journal of the Senate,
and his letter must be considered as
settling the matter. The settlers have
no warmer friend in Congress than
the Senator mentioned, and we do not
believe that the reports to his discredit
were generally believed.

WE give below an extract from the
New York Bulletin in which that paper
compares the present financial depression
with that which succeeded the panic OF
1887. It is some consolation to know
that matters have once been worse than
now and that though recovery was slow,
it finally came. The Bulletin says:
The amount of capital in this country
in 1887, and the number of persons en-
Gagged in business of all kinds, were much
smaller than in 1873, but the destruction
to credit and the sacrifice of property
were comparatively far greater, and after
the lapse of five years there was nothing
like the vitality in business, firmness in
prices and abundance of unquestionable
credit that exists at the present time.
In 1S43 cotton was selling at four cents,
lowest price for fifty years; pork at "a
to S. per barrel, with forced sales at s..
Shipments of beef were made to the
West Indies at $3.50 for new and s. for
old, and -four was retailing at 81. In
Albany cargoes of lumber were selling
at $3.50, the freight alone on which was
IS. Real estate in all our cities sold at
ruinous prices to those owning it. At
New Haven lots in the southern portion
of the city which cost the purchasers in
1886 from $35 to $40 per foot, sold in
1S43 at $3.50 per foot, and lots in the
northeastern part, say in Hamilton and
Wallace streets, which in 1885 sold for
$25 per front foot, in 1843 sold for 81 to
$3.50 only. These evidences of cons
tinued panic, you will perceive, were
over five years from its commencement
in fact, there was great dullness in most
departments of trade for years after, and
no substantial relief until about 1913"

THE BUTTER QUESTION.

Kansas farmers complain of the low
price of butter this summer, and we do
not blame them. 1t is not particularly
encouraging to make butter, and have to
sell it at four or five cents per pound,
but we do not see how the price can be
advanced, for the present at least The
supply is much greater than the home
demand. and the::sum named is all that
can be got out of it by shipping. We
glanced over late Chicago paper, and
find that ordinary butter in that market
is worth from three to six cents, and
choice, fresh dairy only ten to twelve
cents, and dull at that. The best
creamery, however is worth a little more
and is quoted at fifteen to eighteen
cents, with small sales. These last
named prices are only for fancy brands
of which the supply is limited. One
cause of the low price of Kansas butter
is that, though a good deal is of fair
quality when first brought into town
for sale, it will not bear transportation
any considerable distance. 1t is made
in small lots-no two alike-and suitable
packages for shipping and handling are
not easily obtainable. And so long as
the business is in the hands of small
farmers, there is no remedy. If we had
the creamery system in practice here the
value of our dairy products would be
nearly doubled. The quality of butter
made wonld then be good, and also uni
form and a factory could go to the expense
ofprocuring proper packages. We thinka
good creamery could afford to pay
farmer more for his milk, than he now
gets for it after it is made up into but
ter. At the price butter now brings we
do not believe it pays a farmers wife
for the time spent in taking care of the
milk, and making the butter, to say moth
ing of original value Of milk, aud the
trouble and expense ofgetting the butter
to market.
