Senator Davis and his friends in the south
recognize that fact and accept it the sooner

pleased to term nation, is to be subject to
northern ideas entirely. Fourteen states in

mere vsssals dependent upon the caprice of

these fourteen southern states having any
representatives in congress, any senators, or
state governments of their own? Why not

The growth of Kansas in wealth and pop.
ulstion is almost marvellous. In 1870 she
had $4,000 inhabitants, and the present
census gives her over million. Her taxable
wealth has been quedruplsd. When it is re-
membered that much of the land of Kansas
is very poor and that portions are subject to
long drpughts, it is Difficult, to understand
her wonderful progress. No doubt a great
