The Public Debt.

John NJ. Carson, clerk of the house
committee on ways and means. has
prepared the following analysis of the
debt statement for January: The de-
crease in the public debt for January
is nearly $l3,000,000, and for the seven
months of the current fiscal year over
$88, 100000, against $50, 250,0 600 for the
corresponding seven months last year.
Since July l the average monthly re-
duction has been $12,583, 700, which,
if maintained for the remaining five
months, would show production for the
year of $149,000.000. Compared with
Feb. l, 1881, there is a reduction in
the aggregate debt of $139,266,OOO.
Current liabilities on account of called
and matured bonds are about $780,
100000, of which amount nearly ST..
100000 are for extended 6 per cent
bonds recently called. 1t is singular
fact that the column of debts on which
interest has ceased may be found bonds
that ceases to bear interest as far back
as 1864, There are, however, but 800
600 outstanding of this class of bonds,
and it is probable the greater portion
of this amount has been lost or des-
troyed. Of per cent bonds known
as consuls of 1867, interest on which
ceased April 1, 1879, there is outstand-
ing, including interest, about $780,
600, and of the 5 per cent funded loan,
interest on which ceased last Nav,
there is outstanding nearly $3,000,000.
Why holders of these bonds do not
present them for payment is a mys-
terry that cannot be explained. The
available cash in the treasury is about
$144, 100000, decrease of $12,000,000
compared with Jan. /. The large
amount required to pay semi-annual
interest and increased disbursements
that always attend the first month of
congress will account for this decrease.
There is a remarkable increase in the
number of silver dollars on hand com.
pared with January l. There is now
in the treasury nearly 72,500,O00 of
these silver pieces, against 68,OO0,O00,
on January !, an increase of $4,400,-
600. Silver certificates now outstand.
ing amounts to SCI, 1857 $40, an increase
for the month of $18,000,000. Frac-
tional silver coins on hand show an in
crease of nearly $2,OOO,O0O. In gold
coin and sold bullion the decrease for
the month is $13, 600, while the in
crease in United States and national
bank notes is 100000. Receipts
for January compared with the same
month last year are shown in the fol-
lowing table:

ABOUT KANSAS.
Some Remarkable Facts and Figures
From the Auditor Of State.

Some Remarkable Facts and Figure
From the Auditor Of State.
TOPEKA cspilsl. jan ..
Twenty-one years ago, this day, Kan
sas became state by its admission In
10 the union. Many Of her citizens oil
that date are yet upon the stage Of &C
ton" and remember with what JOY thai
event was hailed. For years the peo
pie Of the territory had been elated and
depressed, victorious and defeated, and
when, after years Of struggle, destitu.
ton and blood5hed, victory crowned
their efforts, and Kansas was admitted
rs free state, they were as happy as
the Isrealites when they reached the
land Of Canaan.
But IL Is not Of this we propose TO
write. but 10 give some Agures showing
the growth and development of the ma
terial and other interests Of the state,
from the date Of her admission to this
her twenty-hrst birthday.
POPULATION.
BY the census Of 1860, just preceding
the admission Of the state, the popula-
ton numbered 107,206.
by the NEXT census, June, 1870, the
people numbered 364. 399-a gain Of
240 per cent in ten years.
BY the census Of June. 1880, the
population amounted 10 996, 096-a gain
Of l73 per cent in the decade.
We may safely estimate at this date,
one and half years since the last
census. that the state has a populationl
Of 100000.
TAXABLE WEALTH.
The taxable property OF the state. as
returned for the year 1861, was fixed
at ga. 737. 900; for the GEAR 1871 at
elOS, 753. 0OO-an increase Of $40 per
cent in ten years
For the year 1881 the taxable proper
~ was returned at el70.s13.0O0 - an
increase In the last ten years Of 81 per
cent.
Putting the taxable value at one
half the true value, we have for true
value:

RAILROADS
According to history, (Wilder's An
nals). the flrst iron for railroad was
laid on Kansas soil March 20, 1860. at
Elwood. DOniphan county. the first
whistle Of a locomotive was heard
April %. 1860; and the first railroad
celebration. with Accomplishments"
was held at Wathena, July 10. 1860, on
the completion Of road from Elwood
10 Wathena. Thus IL will be
seen that Kansas when admitted had a
railroad, although only about FIVE miles
long.
From 1861 10 1881 the growth OF
railroads has more than kept pace
with the growth Of population, As will
be seen by the following exhibit:
