COMING TO R1NSIS

Leavenworth Times: Preparations
are being made in the east for the most
wonderful emigration to the west ever
known. From the newspaper reports
1t is to be regular exodus, unparalel-
led IN the history of the country.
Some eastern papers estimate the
number Of people who will change their
residence from the populous cities and
sterile farms of the Atlantic and mid
die states, to the prairies of Kansas,
during the year 1887, to exceed half a
million.
Times throughout the west will be
lively, and the impetus given to trade
and the development of the country
will be felt for several years to come.
Towns and communities that don't
hide their light under bushel, but get
up and let the world know of their re-
sources and advantages, will get a de-
sirable part OF this immigration-that
which has money to invest-and the
first fruits of the mighty impetus given
to all classes of trade by its coming"

A meeting was held at Lakin, last
Thursday, at which representative men
from all over western Kansas were pres
ent, and passed resolutions asking the
legislature to re-establish the old county
lines in that part Of the state. They
more especially ask for the re-estab-
lishment Of the following counties:
-Arrapahoe, Buffalo, Foote, Grant,
Hamilton, Kearney ,Sequoyah and Stan
ton, as they existed prior to the change
made by the legislature in 1881. Ham
ilton, Finney, Ford and IIodgeman
counties are now composed of the old
counties. This promises to be the most
troublesome question that will come
before the legislature this winter.

KNIGHTS AS FARMERS.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. l5.-At the
opening session of the state grange, pa
irons of husbandry, this afternoon,
Grand Master Carr declared that un-
ion OF the grange and the knights of
labor would be impossible, because the
former could not, under any circum-
stances, adopt the eight-hour system
and apply it to the farm"
This announcement called forth the
following from the New York Sun:
1.-The failure of the knights of labor
TO obtain the assistance of the farmers
in any of their great contests, has al
ways presented one of the most serious
obstacles to even their temporary sue
cess. All farmers are directly or indi-
rectly affected to their disadvantage by
strikes Of any sort, and naturally would
hesitate to encourage them; but even
if that were not So, and if for this pur-
pose they were willing TO ally them.
selves extensively and defensively with
city operatives, such an arrangement
would still be impossible so long as the
principle of the eight-hOur law is main
tanned by the labor org mutations. The
farmer who should attempt to limit
work OH his land to eight hours n day
would starve, and rather than starve
he will work ten, twelve, fourteen OF
fifteen hours out of the twenty-four
While this is necessary, and there
seems to be no prospect of q material
change, it is difficult to see how the
Wisconsin state grange could have
reached any other conclusion than the
one agreed upon"
While upon this subject we Will give

Several final proofs from this county
have been rejected lately by the Larned
land office. No reasons are given, the
claimant being simply notified that his
proof has been rejected and that he
will be allowed 30 days IN which to APP
peal. II Is presumed that the new list
of questions prepared by the general
land office Is causing the trouble. We
believe that bad the same questions
been used In this county during the
past six years, that the county would
now have n third larger population.
Unler the ruling now IN vogue. a
claimant must live on the land and cul.
tivate IL; while under the old way of
making proof. claimant could live in
town or even in another state and still
get his proof through. There Is a han.
ny medium that might have been
