Here l am after q pleasant ride of two hours
over the Chicago & Alton railroad. The SUI

pulled out of Kansas City last Saturday evening.
In q few minutes we had passed the city limits

and poetic picture. Now and then we enter q
small piece OF wood land. but only to burst the
next minute upon a beautiful rolling country,
thus itensifying the scenery. The crops all
along the road looked fine. Grass good, water
abundant, and corn-Lhere WAS never such a

About 10 O'Clock the people began to assemble

The Washington correspondent of the

The Washington correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican, in speaking OF
treasury matters said: alt may be &C
copied as a tact. however, that when this
committee does report it will make an
even more startling exhibit OF facts
than those contained in the now famous
report Of Glover. The Davis commit
tee is searching laboriously for the ex-
PLANTATION of a startling fact which the
chairman himself discovered early in
his senatorial career. That fact is that
there is a discrepancy in the annual re-
ports of the secretary of between one
and two hundred millions of dollars.
The full extent of what this committee
has discovered has not yet been divulg-
ed, but this much is already in evidence,
that, under the stewardship of Secretary
Boutwell,. a high official of the treasury
department was ordered to make, and
did make, a forced balance of vast pro-
portions in order to make the cash actu-
ally on hand and the book evidence OF
that amount tally. The discrepancies
which Senator Davis has shown to exist.
ex-Secretary Boutwell, has often sought
to explain away. but as yet without
success. In due course of time he will
have an opportunity to explain why he
ordered a forced balance to be made on
the treasury books. Meanwhile might
not Secretary Sherman profitably devote
the time which he proposes to give to
the pending campaign. in an endeavor
to enlighten the American public rs to
the ugly facts which have already been
developed by democratic investigation
committees? 2"

CONSIDERING THE ADVANTAGES
From the Galloway Gazette. I

In a new state like Kansas, land Is
cheaper than in Missouri. But it is not
SO good; It is still to be taxed. to make
and grade roads, to build school houses,
court houses. jalls and railroads. Its
settlers must contribute out of what
they make to build churches. These
things they must have or the state will
not be fit for law abiding people. Mis-
souri, has all these, and she offers the
land at wonderfully low rates, when the
advantages are considered.
