BARBER cnuMrY

A gentleman who is interests In the
welfare of Barber county remarked
lately that during trip through the
east and north he heard more inquiries
about the future of Medicine Lodge
and Barber county than he heard con-
cerning any other city and county in
Kansas. He says the inquirers gener-
ally believe that this county is to have
at least two lines OF railroad this season,
and that there is disposition on the
part OF monied men To come here and
invest, the only thing that is keeping
them away being the fear that the
county debt is more than the people can
ever pay, or that the interest on this
debt will cause high taxes.
Property owners in Barber county are
not In the least alarmed ON this subject,
and in fact they are generally well
pleased at the present state of affairs
and when the facts are known to pros
pective investors they, too, will be sat
ished that there Is no occasion for
alarm, but on the other hand they will
see that our financial condition is heal
thy and much better than many coun-
ties that offer great inducements on
account Of low taxes and small munich
pal indebtedness.
The assessed valuation OF the county
one year ago was but little less than
81. .OOO,OOO Since then thousands of
acres Of government lands and school
lands have become taxable; farms and
ranches have been improved; three new
cities have been built up within the
county; city property in Medicine Lodge
has increased in value at least fifty per
cent, and wealth has poured in from
every quarter. tits confidently believed
that the assessment to be made on the
6rst Of March, even with the valuations
gwen In by property owners will show
the county to have taxable wealth OF

OKLAHOMA.

There will be nothing done by tho
present congress looking to the opening
OF the Oklahoma country, and boomers
may as well make. up their minds that
they will not be allowed there this sea-
son. This was practically settled on
Monday, 18th inst, by the senate re-
fusing to concuT in that portion of the
appropriation hill authorizing the pres
ident TO open negotiations with the
Creeks, Seminoles and Cherokees for
the purpose Of opening to settlement,
under the homestead laws, the unas-
signed lands in the Indian Territory
ceded by them to the general govern
ment by the treaties Of 1866. The senate
appropriations committee struck the
entire section from the bill on the
ground that the section was in the ma
ture Of general legislation inserted i'm
an appropriation bill, (which is forbidden
by the rules of the senate.
An interesting contest occurred on
the report of the committee, but its
action was sustained, and now it is not
even probable that the house will de-
mand that the section be restored.
And 1t may be OF interest to all con.
cerned TO know that even IL the pro-
posed legislation should be enacted the
Oklahoma lands would not lie opened
for settlement till after the next session
Of congress, for negotiations would have
to be held with the Indians, and the
results Of the negotiations would have
to be transmitted 70 congress and that
body Mould have to take action thereon.
In Washington IL is regarded proba-
BILE that tho Indians will consent to the
opening Of the lands in question to set
tlement, without compensatiOn-prob
bly, money compensation. Both houses
of congress are agreed upon one thing,
and that is that these lands should not
be thrown open to settlement without
the consent Of the. Indians. A large
majority Of representatives and sena-
tors maintain that the lands were ceded
by the Indians to the United States for
specific purpose, and that the opening

be clear violation of treaty Obligations.
II the Oklahoma boomers have any
other belief as TO the views Of an over
whelming majority of even western
senators and representatives they are
grievously deceived; and they are also
grievously deceived IL they enter
tain the idea that the democratic admin
istration will have any other view Of the
question.

authority to change the status of the

The question has been asked, what Is
all this Egyptian war aboutY Without
going into minute details, the following
is short synopsis:
Two years ago, when Great Britain
took possession Of Egypt, iu the interest
Of the English bondholder's claim, Cor
don was sent to Khartoum to hold the
false prophet FL Mahdi, in check and
preserve the Soudan, IL possible, from
being overrun by his fanatical followers.
Gordon held out with great fortitude
until, at the demand of the English
people, the ministry was forced to send
an army TO his relief. The advance
guard under General Stewart reached
the wells near Metemneh a few days ago
and fought a battle with the Arabs, in
which the English troops were victori-
Gus. This battle was supposed TO de-
eide the issue OF the campaign and open
the road to the relief Of Gordon. Col.
Wilson pushed OH up the Nile, reaching
Khartoum on the 18th Of January, only
TO find that the city had fallen and that
the forts were in the hands of FL Mahdi.
Nobody knows where Gordon is, nor
what his fate has been. Col. Wilson's
boats were wrecked and his detachment
took refuge on al island in the river.
General Wolsley is calling for reinforce
ments, and troops are being furnished
from England aud India.
Gladstone undertook this war I'm be-
half Of the English holders Of Egyptian
bonds. lie has betrayed and enslaved
Egypt. lie has rushed on with rob-
ber's haste, and it now looks as though
his premiership would pay the forfeit.
In many respects the history Of England
Is history Of infamy, but there is no
more infamous page in her history than
the one that records her plunder of the
fellaheen OF Egyrt.

talked this year has placed the total al
less than one million and half. This
too, without counting the railroad prop
erty that will be assessable next year
and it Is exclusive OF the increased val.
uations Of Medicine Lodge, New Kiowa,
Hazelton and Sharon that must occur
when the railroad reaches those points
this season.
So much, then, for the valuation OIL
which taxes are levied.
The entire interest bearing debt OF
Barber county Is less than Sl2O, 600; but
we will say that those figures represent
the debt. All OF this bears interest al
the rate Of six per cent. per annum. SO
it will only require tax OF S7,2OO peI
year to pay all Of this interest-seven
mills on the present valuation, or less
than FIVE mills on the valuation ON
which the taxes of 1885 are to be leviedI
Only one-half Of one per cent. which is
nearly no tax. The principal of this
debt is not due for thirty years, and SO
there is no use of even discussing that
part OF the question now.
Medicine Lodge township has no debt.
though it may have a little matter OF
a $4,000 debt to look after soon; but
not more. The city of Medicine Lodge
is out Of debt and is laying up money
for hard times. Hazelton and Kiowa
are also free from debts. The school
districts in the county are in good fnan-
cial condition and amply able to pay
the interest ON the small amounts they
may owe.
Another thing: Heretofore valua-
tons obtained by the township assess
Ors have in no instance exceeded ffty
per cent. Of the true worth of the prop
erty assessed; but even on the small
valuations taxes have not been high,
and few are the complaints that have
been made.
We think then, that there Is no foun-
dation for the belief that capital invested
in Balber county will be eaten up by
taxes. We do not believe that the taxes
levied here are any greater than taxpay-
ers must pay in Missouri, Illinois, Indi-
ana or Ohio. Our taxable wealth is fast
increasing, and in the proportion that
it increases, in the same ratio will taxes
decrease.
Our home people are not alarmed over
the debt the county carries, and to show
that they are not, they are acquiring
more land, more city property and more
taxable wealth generally, as fast as their
means will permit. They are improving
their farms and ranches; they are grad
ing up their herds of cattle and making
them more valuable; they are building
substantial houses on their city prop
erty, and in many other ways they are
showing that they have no fear Of taxa
tion and that they do not consider the
small bonded debt a matter for worry.
