THE CHINESE QUESTION.

So far as the House of Representatives
can settle 1t, the question Of Chinese
immigration has received . simple and
satisfactory solution. The bill reported
from the committee on Education and
Labor has passed the House by . vote
of 155 to e. The President andsCabi-
net for political reasons, are believed to
be in sympathy with the measure, but it
will doubtless encounter consideral op-
position in the Senate, because of its al
legged conflict with the provisions of the
Burlingame treaty. We see statement
that Chinese immigration instead Of in
creasing has materially decreased within
the last ten years, and is still constantly
decreasing; also that the number Of
Americans going to China 10 far greater
than the number Of Chinese coming to
this country. The Chinese question
might settle itself without any additional
legislation upon the subject. There is
another point to be considered. What
would Americans do If tho Emperor Of
the flowery kingdom should shut down
on Yankee emigration. Such q retallia-
ton might be possible.

AN IMPORTANT RAILROAD PROJECT.

AN IMPORTANT RAILROAD PROJECT.
We notice by tho Kansas City Jour
na! that an effort is being made to ex-
tend the Missouri Pacific Railroad from
Paola in q westwardly line through Kan
sas. The latest report is that after reach
ing Ottawa, instead of going down the
Kansas City, Burlington & Santa Fe, or
towards Topeka, as announced several
weeks since, the plan is to 60 almost d.
rectly west, crossing the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railroad at Usage City,
and to proceed out into Mcpherson
county, running into the very center of
the State and occupying the wide belt
lying between the Kansas Pacific and
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railways.
The Journal adds:
Mcpherson county and the counties
adjacent are heavy wheat producing dis
tricts and this is not the first time an Of
fort has been made to occupy the coun-
try between the two grand trunk lines
crossing the State. The N. X. & T..
made, an effort in 1879 to run . road
over this route but was obliged to give
it up for various reasons.
1t would seem to US that Salina peo-
pie should mako an effort to "6gure" in
this enterprise in some way. A con-
nection with such q line would DO the
best one yet proposed.
At least this project should succeed in
defeating the voting of bonds by the
people of Mcpherson county to the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the
Lindsborg branch. To DO upon the
line OF the Missouri Pacific would be an
advantage to them not obtained from the
building of any other road.
The people of Salina and Mcpherson
counties could unite upon this Missouri
Pacific project and obtain trunk line
which 10 considered one of the very best
in the West. Shall We act together!

among the Legislators of Messrs. An

were all there. After balloting several
times, during which time Maj. Simpson
exhibited considerable strength, it was
found that Hon. Albert H..Horton, pres

available man for the opposition, and he
was accordingly nominated. 1t is stated
that as many as 81 members had pleg-

great excitement among oil, and for .

THE FARMERS AND LOW PRlCEs.

Many farmers are complaining about
tho low prices Of their products. Thai
spch prices have declined IN common
with those of other commodities is true;
but if the financial receipts of the far.
mer are less, his living or household ex-
penses are also less, DO that q depressed
market has its compensations. Those
who compare the present prices Of agri.
cultural products with tho prices obtain
cd IN the s'aush times" of the late war
should remember that all other things
were correspondlngly inflated, and that
what cost two dollars then can in many
cases be purchased now for one dollar,
or perhaps less. A Virginia newspaper
states that in 1850 farmer wished to
buy 10 Staunton . saddle and pay its
value In wheat at the price then ruling.
The value of the saddle was $40, and it
required 40 bushels of wheat to pay for
it. Flour that year brought only $3.50
to g per barrel in Stanton; corn and
rye sold for 3s} cents per bushel; the
best butter was 10 cents pound, and
eggs but cents dozen. Those are .
few samples of tho ''good old times"
less than twenty years ago. 1t is well
to remember, also, that nearly all COM
modities which farmers bought then
were higher than they arc now. There
never was, in al our history, period
whom cotton goods were lower than at
present, aud this Is also true of clothing;
and whom the farmers compare their
with that of tradesmen who
have passed through four years Of dis.
tressing depression, thoy will discover
that, if they have mado but little mon
ey, they have at least lost little or none;
and if they have been prudent, have
lived on the proceeds Of their land, and
are so situated that thoy can without
serious embarrassment await the change
that better times will bring to all, they
should be satisfied. We do not ignore
in this connection the fact that the far
NOR works hard, and that 1t is bis func.
ton to "fsed Us ALL" and We hope that
with renewed prosperity his harvests of
both cereals and money will be golden.
