GROSSLY ExAGGEPArED.

In such an emergency it was but nat
ural that the most sensational reports
should have goHe abroad. At the east
they have a story that all the herds of
Kansas have been affected, that the
southwestern banks which have loaned
money on these herds have called 1t in,
that railroads are going TO suffer in
transportation, and that the prosperity of
of the whole south west is assailed bv
this dreadful disease. While the out
break IS serious enough there is no need
of any scare. Kansas has fully 100000
head of cattle. At this time there a-e
less than 1000 affected, and these only
in local herds in two counties Bat 1870
have died of the disease, and perhaps
800 will have to be killed So 1t will be
seen that, considering the energetic
measure Kansas has taken to stump il
out In It's narrow environment, the cpl
demic should not be regarded as a ma
uonsl scare...Chicago Herald.
The statements of the Herald are al
most as wide of the mark as the wild
stories which it undertakes to correct.
In very recent interview
with DIR. A. A. HOlcombe, who has Wis
tied almost every Infected herd In the
state, we learned that probably ten
head of cattle had died of the disease,
and so far as the statement that 500 will
have TO be killed Is concerned, we speak
advisedly when we say that there are
not that many cattle in The entire state
which have contracted the contagion.
10 this county four cows which had lost
their feet haye been killed, aad the en-
tire loss from the disease in this
immediate section will not prob
ably exceed double that number.
In WoOdson county the disease in a
great majority OF the cases has assumed
a very mild form, and while it is pro-
nounced by competent veterinary sur-
gOeons II be foot and mouth disease, they
sil express surprise at the fact that 1t has
proved 50 lightly contagious and the
greatest confidence is felt by cattle men
that it caa be confined to its present
limits.
The scare in Kansas is substantially
over, and with the prospect of the speedy
enactment OF judicious quarantine meas
ures by the legislature confider ce is
being daily strengthened among all
class of bus ness men. There is now no
caus, for alarm, neither does any ex-

1t begins TO look as if the cattle disease
in Woodson and other counties might
net be the dangerous epidemic known as
thu foot and mouth disease. II this
should Trove TO he the case, the COVER
n RS action IN converting the legislature
will be severely criticised -AtcbIson
Champion.
Ii would be very unjust TO criticize the
governor for calling the extra session.
The disorder was pronounced the foot
and mouth disease by several govern
ment surgeons. There was q regular
panic, and no one could visit the infected
herds without becoming alarmed at the
situation. The governor was very much
averse to calling the legislature together
Even IN his second visit, wnen there was
an immense mass NESTING, with people
present from fourteen different counties,
and when Il resolution was adopted ask
ing HIM TO convene the legisla-
ture, without one dissenting vote,
he did not yield bis Op-
position. II was after his return to
Topeka when the pressure became gen.
eral, at least throughout the south and
southwest, that he yielded. He is the
last man that ought to be blamed. No
just and fair mau will censure him.
Even if the cattle trouble should turn
out not 10 be the dreaded foot and mouth
disease, and the call should result in q
good law for future emergencies, the
extra session will prove a bene-
hci1l measure for the interests
of the e,ald the people will endorse
the action instead of attaching blame

Governor Clicks message is brief,
but like everything which His Excel
lencY says, to the point. Its suggestions
are characterized by that practical
sound sense which has marked the ad-
minIstratIon of the governor throughout
and 1t will commend itself to the intellI-
gent reader as an exceedingly sound and
well.timed document. Mr.. Click has
brought to the discharge of his official
duties that prudence and business acu-
men which has insured his individual
success, and the manner IN which be
has grappled with the emergency which
compelled HIM to call the legislature to-
gether much against his inclination,
will strengthen his claim to the conf
dence of the Kansas people.
