KANSAS CRY, May l5.--The slight
furry Of the morning has disappeared
tins afternoon. A large number OF de-
posIts were drawn out this morning,
but nearly nl small amounts,
the larger depOaitors appearing con-
tident that the scare was artificial, aud
the concerted action n the
hunks, coupled with encouraging
eastern ndv.ces, brought about AN
early reaction, and the excitement
gradually snbsided.
The report which got abroad that the
bank of Kansas CITY wRa involved
seems to have originated In

had n large account with Donnell

Issgrs. FrerIrreus AND RKaL

The Taoons Ledger has had q revela-
ton. II has found an issue" Il be-
iieTes that the greatest and most vital
issue before the people Of Washington
Territory to-day Ia that Of admission
L e., the invesii;ure of the Territory With
the robes Of Statehood. THIS ia an i'm
portant discovery. We doubt IL, among
the 10000 men, women and children
resident in Washington Territory, there
10 a single one who is not ia favor Of
the prompt elevation of the Territory 20
Statehood. Il Ia Just about as much an
:" issue before the people az Chinese
restriction. How anything can be an
issue upon which there is no division OF
opinion is not apparent. Every elector
IN the Territory. Republican and Demo
crat, 10 nxious for admission. There 10
no contest ON this subject between par
tiee or among the people. All are aware
that in population, resources and
wealth Washington 10 justly en-
titled TO Statehood. and that
politics should not be permitted
TO prevent legislation TO that end.
There will be no contest in either con
vention of the parties ia this Territory
over any resolution looking to that re
suit, and the Delegate elected TO Con-
gress, be be Democrat Or Republican,
will be instructed and expected to labor
to that end. The vital issue before the
parties and people Of this Territory is :
Shall we demand Of Congress that the
unearned land grant TO the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company be al ouee
restored to the public domain and
thrown open to occupation, purchase
and settlement, in accordance with ex-
listing laws, As are other portions of the
public domain, or shall that corporation
be permitted to acquire one-third the
lands of this Territory without consid-
deration and in total abrogation of law
and justice +? Upon this subject, IN
fortunately, there is q division of senti-
ment. Il is an issue that must be met.
II Is the issue before this people and will
continue to be until finally decided by
Congress and the courts.
