FRONTIER DEsTITuTIoN

1t will be highly gratifying to the Cit
izens'o OF eastern Kansas TO know that
such an able and extensively circulated
journal as the New York Tribune has
considered the question of frontier des-
titutIon in this state of sufficient i'm
portance to dispatch special cores
pondent to the afflicted sections in
whose behalf appeals for aid have been
made in the east, and letter from his
pen, written from Wakeeney and pub
lished in the Tribune of December 81,
under the head of "Want in Western
Kansas" gives, in our Judgment. the
general outline Of the situation, with
great fairness and accuracy:
The correspondent S avs that he found
two classes OF people in western Kansas.
"One had some money and plenty of per-
severance; the other little money and less
perseverance" The former class have,
as rule succeeded; the latter class have
failed, thrown up their hands, and gone
"back east" cursing Kansas. -
The Tribune correspondent says the
great mistake made by the new settlers
was in risking their all on first crop of
wheat. That the experiment would un-
der the same conditions, have resulted
disastrously in Illinois. He furthermore
states that it is great pity 10 try for the
next ten years TO make farming coun-
try of western Kansas, which is natural
ly a splendid stock country.
The appeals for charity made in the
east the writer describes as shameful i'm
positions on charitable people and dis
grace to the state, and he gives number
of cases where well-to-do people have
made q regular business of soliciting
said" and says, ~ have heard of many
cases OF persons who have made as much
as $4,000 in begging for starving set.
tiers"
That Kansas has suffered Incidentally
from the causes indicated, there can be
no reasonable doubt, and it is equally Ger.
tain that her future growth and develop
ment will be sadly retarded until the real
situation on the frontier is made known
to the public and the tide of immigration
stops short of section which at present
is not adequate to the support of the
population which has been carried west
ward under the false representations oil
greedy and heartless corporations.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The Tribune to-
morrow will give prominence to the fol.
lowing editorial: The time seems lit for
at least one statement about the ap-
preaching administration of President
Garfield. 1t is not to be used to make
weight in pending senatorial contests,
whether in New York OF elsewhere. We
are fully authorized 70 say this, and the
words are entitled to their full signlfi-
conce. II is proper TO say further that
the incoming administration will see to
it that the men from New York and
from other states, who had the courage
at Chicago 10 obey the wishes of their
districts in balloting for president, and
who thus finally voted for Garfield, shall
not suffer for it nor lose by it. They
will not fail of honorable recognition for
their independence, their courage, their
resolute pursuit OF the policy they be-
lieved best for the Republican party and
for the country. Gentlemen at ALBANY
who are said 10 have been threatened
with a different course at Washington
may reassure themselves The admins
tration of President Garfield is to be an

party. 1t will foment no quarrels. 4
