WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The agreeable

States, resumed it's session to-day after
an interval of unusual brevity, during
which events have occurred as satisfactory

in large degree the popular judgement
was correct. Perhaps ii is chara cteristic

that the allusion to the subject was not

Topeka Capital
The Census Bureau has just issued
some interesting statistics concerning
the farms of the country. 1t appears
that the largest number of farms, with.
out regard to size, is in Illinois, being
255,571. The next largest number
is in Ohio, the next in New York, the
next in Missouri, and the next in
PenDsylvaDia-the number in each of
these states being over 100000. Kan.
sas ranks eleventh among the states
in this regard, the number of her farms
being put down at 1861. The small
est number of farms, of course, is i'm
Rhode Island, being only 6,216.
In the matter of increased farm acre.
age from 1870 to 1880, Kansas leads
all the other states, there having been
99759 new farms made within her
limits during that time. Next to
Kansas, singular enough, comes Georgia.
with an increase of 68,670. Alabama
comes next. then Missouri, then Iowa,
and then North Carolina, each with an
increase exceeding 10000. The in.
due, we need hardly say, to the aboli
ton of slavery and the consequent
changes in agriculture and the division
of the large plantations. In Kansas,
on the other hand. the increase may be
said to represent so many more farms
opened up" in territory never before
cultivated-and the same is true to a
considerable extent with Iowa and
Missouri.
When we come to examine the figures
the size Of farms through
out the country, we find that the only
considerable increase of small farms
from 1870 to 1880 was in Ohio and
Pennsylvania in the north, and Ala
bama, Maryland, North Carolina and
Virginia in the south. In the most of
the other states there was decrease
in this respect. There was falling
off of over 10000 in the number of
small farms (twenty acres and under) in
and nearly $4,000 in Michigan.
Kansas is credited with only 2,717
farms of the size stated, decrease of
1908 since 1870--which taken in con-
pection with our remarkable increase
in the number of farms of all sizes,
goes to show general enlargement
of farming operations, not only by the
development of new lands through the
coming of additional settlers, but also
by the gradual extension of farms be.
gun on a small scale five and ten years
ago.
The figures showing the relative
1umber OF farms occupied by owners
md by renters in the various states
ire interesting and suggestive. New
7 ork has the largest number of farms
by owners. 201, 1856, or 16 per
cent of the whole number. Ohio comes
lext, with 1895 or 19 per cent o.
he total number, and Illinois mex
with 175,497. or 81 per cent. The
argest percentage of rented farms (5I)
s in South Carolina, and the smallest
(4) is in Maine. Kansas is
he eleventh state in the number of
arms occupied by owners, 1880;
he number of farms occupied by
enters is 22,651, or 16 per cent of the
Otal number, the same as in New
ork, and smaller than that Of any
western states except Michigan, Oregon
md Wisconsin.

Railroad BoycOtrers,

Washington, IA. = Mr.. Armstrong,
commissioner Of railways in the inter-
Tor department, who has lust returned
from trip over the Pacific roads, found
in San Francisco q good Zeal of COM
plant agsint the charges of the Union
and Central Pacific roads, and more par
ticularly against the so called "Boyeot-
tinsn contracts, which are intended to
compel all merchants to ship exclusively
By rail, and so drive competing ship lines
out of business. The Pacific Mail is SUBJ
sidized by the railroad companies to pre-
vent its competition. In order to drive
sailing vessels out of business the roads
charge much higher rates to merchants
who send heavy freights by sea, than
they do to merchants who send only by
rail. Special contracts for 'Sl went q
step beyond those of 80, and prohib-
tied the benefciarles Of them even
from selling to those who did not
enter into special contracts. Mr.. Arm
strong thinks the complaints of local
points on the Union and Central Pacific
roads that they are Disseminated sgainst.
are Of q piece with the complaints of all
local points, because they do not get so
good rates as the terminal points,
and is inclined to think the
Objectionable special contract system
is an inevitable part of competition. On
these points he expresses himself with
reserve, and seems impressed with the
magnitude Of the questions involved in
freight rates and discriminations,S land es-
pecially with the vulnerable points of all
schemes for governmental regulation.
Whether he will make any recommends.
ton in his annual report, is doubtful, but
he has made some effort to collect infor-
nation on the subject. and is likely to
represent the facts in his report and give
the public chance TO draw differences.

that day, and directed TO the American
Exchange Bank to psy to the order Of
Thomas Warner SIS, that the bank at
st. Joseph delivered the bill Of exchange
to Warner or some other person unknown
and the bill of exchange was raised from
Sl5 to e, 500, and thus raised it was de-
livered by persons unknown to the Ger
man National Bank of Denver. The
latter thereafter transmitted it to New
York and directed the American Ex-
change National Bank 10 pay $500
to the order of the Metropolitan
National Bank. The German National
Bank of Denver, has refused to back
the amount.

-. ,,,.., Domoorar,O Deluge.

The great political deluge predicted
by the Democrats has commenced all
along the line, but contrary to the wish
of that party the Democrats are the
deluged parties. 1t commenced first
in Oregon which gave an increased
Republican majority and gain of q
United States Senator. The deluge
next struck Wilmington submerging
the Democrats and sweeping the Re-
publicans into power. 1t swept over
Arkansas nearly turning that old
Bourbon State into q new Republican
State. Vermont was to be politically
wa shed and regenerated, but the old
Green Mountain State rode the deluge
grandly and came out with larger
Republican majority than ever before
in proportion to the vote cast. And
then Maine, oh, yes Maine was to go
under this time sure. All the Demo
cratic papers were agreed upon that
but Maine, glorious old Republican
Maine, held her election yesterday
doubling her Republican majority and
electing every Republican Congress-
man. Oh that Democratic deluge !!
The Republicans can stand 1t If the
Democrats can.

The Bourbon Democratic organ is
rackinp its brain to show how the City
Council can very easily subtract moth
ing from nothing . nd SIC, 900 will re-
main. With sycophaDtic Ignorance it
supposes its readers are either as igno-
rant as itself and doubly as deceptive
if it expects them to believe that the
present Council can supply $4,000 at
will, to replace $40, 900 misappropriated
of the school fund, when no provision
has been made by the old City Council to
meet it. There are but few persons Of
ordinary intelligence who do not know
that the present City Council had no
power to levy higher tax rate than
sufficient to meet the appropriations
made. As this $40, COO was not included
by the old City Council in their esti-
mates, how in the name of common
sense could a tax rate be levied to meet
it? 1t is the very height of nonsense
to say that the present City Council is
responsible if it does not put its hands
in It's pockets and pay the money. The
money is gone; totally gone. 1t has
been spent for the current expenses of
the city, for which it was never IN.
tended. For all the appropriations OF
the City Council ample money has been
raised, but it can only be used for those
appropriations. These are plain truths
and the Bourbon organ knows it, but
upon the principle that lie well stuck
to Is better than an honest confession, it
unblushingly sticks to the foolish as
sertion that the Council can pay the
money without trouble. Of course no
sensible body believes such foolish
twaddle.

THE Board of Education did wise
thing last night in dropping the con-
tested election cases growing out OF the
irregularity of the size of tickets A
verbal opinion of States Attorney
Gray was given that the size of tickets
was a trivial matter compared with
the vote showing the choice of the peo-
pie and that he did not believe the
courts would give decision against
the voice of the people no matter about
the size of the tickets. This Is q sensi'
BILE stand to take in the matter for 1t Is
very questionable If the Legislature has
any right to pass law prescribing the
exact size, and typography OF ticket
to be voted by the people. But at the
same time while such foolish law re-
mains upon the Statute books 1t had
better be respected, and thereby avoid
cause that might end in trouble, and
probable injustice.
