DEAR SIR:-I have been considering
with some friends of mine in this place
project to move to Kansas. From nv
limited information 1 have been i'm
pressed with the southern tier of coun-
ties ant. would like to get some infor-
nation in regard to seasons, climate,
soil, price of land, etc. In our party are
lawyer, physician, and several farm
ers all Of whom are men of means. Will
you please write me giving such infor-
nation as you think would be of value
to us in regard to soil, climate, seasons.

vestments, rates of interest, &c. Will
you also send me several copies of your
paper and others published in your sec
ton of the state. am particularly in
terested in finding good location to
practice medicine and open drug store.
An early reply will greatly oblige.
\
Answering the first letter, we will
say: AT present there are no houses to
rent in Medicine Lodge; but several
capitalists. who have ready money and
vacant lots which they are holding at
very high prices, have agreed to build a
number of houses this season. We will
also state. that as soon as spring opens.
a large number of families will move
out of town to their claims" and then
a colony could be accommodated here.
In answer to the second letter: The
soil of Barber county will produce any,
thing planted as well as any county in
Kansas. The climate is delightful ten
months in the year. never sultry hot and
only occasionally severely cold. Cattle
can live here on tie range without feed
other than the native grasses which cure

months In the year. The prices of land
vary. Government land. the best of
which has been taken is 81 .25 per acre.

purchaser. Farms sell from 81 to 500
per acre. altogether owing to location.
adaptability of soil, etc. The seasons
have been productive for four years.

chances for capitalists or spectators
are good, and they can find bargains in

FREE TRADERS AND THE TARIFF.
How the Democrats Bar the Way to
a Reduction of the Surplus.

1t is true that when anything is to be ac-
tually done the country naturally looks to
the Republican party; but all revenue bills
must originate in the House. The House
to-day is Democratic by 40 majority. Its
whole organization is in Democratic hands.
The initiative on all revenue measures must
be taken by the committee of ways and
means The present committee was appoint
ed by Mr.. Carlisle, elected speaker by the
Democrats. Three times it has wrestled
with the problem and three times it has been
thrown. The first Morrison bill was shown
by the hearings to be SO unsound and un-
avilable that it was abandoned by its author.
The second bill is SO distasteful to the House.
Democratic by 40 majority, that its consid-
Grafton even was beaten prior to election by
II votes. After election, with election, with
the addition of the whole power of the adj
ministratioD. with the Turkish mission Ques-
ton thiowlsn, il was again rejected by an
adverse majority OF five; many of those who
voted for consideration loudly proclaiming
their reputation of the bill itself in adj
vance.
One Of two things follows: Democrats
should allow new committee TO represent
the true sense of the House, or their friends
all over the country should cease CRYING
about the surplus In 1883 the country de-
manded reduction of more than $40. O0O. 900,
and the Republican House, thought it had less
than six majority and although fought at
every point under the skilful leadership of
Mr.. Carlisle by the powerful minority.
passed the law of 1883, which revised the
tariff and reduced the surplus revenue near
ly $50,000,000
Now protection Democrats go into eau
Gus which seats in the chair free trade
Democrat who appoints free trade ways
and means committee, and absolutely bars
the path toward reducing the Surplus.

Captain Quigley, of the cruiser Terror, has
been awakened by Secretary Bayard's de-
mand for his dismissal and volunteers his
own story of the hauling down of the Ameri-
can flag on the Marion Grimes. 1t seems
that all of Quigley's trouble comes from an
undue generation for the broad arrow of the
Queen. When the Marion Grimes was seized
the collector of customs and Quigley put
the broad arrow on her mainmast. This
was on Thursday night. Early on the fol-
lowing Monday the captain of the vessel
hoisted the American flag over the broad
arrow. Quigley at once commanded the flag
to be hauled down, saying that it could not
float above the broad arrow At first his
order was obeyed; but short time after
wards the American again hoisted the ma
tional ensign. Then it was that Quigley
hauled the flag down. He now says
that the hosting of the American flag over
the broad arrow was a violation of inte1na-
tional courtesy and direct insult to Eng
lish authority, and he as British officer
could not be expected to stand by and see it
done. He does not, however, say anything
as to how much Of an insult it was to put
the broad arrow under the flag of friendly
nation, because fishing schooner had
sought harbor without reporting to dis
tant custom house, an inconvenience to
which Americans would hardly think of put
ting Canadian schooner on our coast.

The cry that the poor are growing poorer
as the rich grow richer, may appear to have
some truth in it; but comparison of the
living of laboring mans family thirteen
years ago, and today shows that in the food
consumed the poor man has failed to make
the step backward which some so confident
ly assume to have been made. About thir-
teen years ago the Massachusetts, Bureau of
Labor Statistics estimated the amount of
different articles of food consumed yearly by
the average workingman's family. After the
lapse of these years the Connecticut Bureau
of Statistics has made estimates on the same
subject. The difference in the amounts of
certain articles used then and now illustrates
some important changes In diet.

TIE COMING TRIAL.

The Board of Visitors of Andoyer Theo
logical Seminary have designated next Mon
day, the 9th instant. as the date of the next
hearing Of the charges brought against the
five professors essrs. Smyth, Tucker,
Churchill, Harris and Hncks-by Rev. DR..
Henry M. Dexter of Boston, Rev. DR.. o. t.
Lanphear of Beverly, Rev. DIR. j. w. Well
man of Maiden, and Prof j. j. Biaisdel of
Beloit College. These charges, as amended,
are four in all. The first two allege that the
professors hold beliefs and teach doctrines
antagonistic to the constitution of the SEM
mary, and that they are not men ''of sound
and orthodox principles of divinity" but in
volve no questions of belief. But the last
two make definite charges of ''heterodoxy,"
fifteen particulars being specified in which
the heresy is shown. This week Professor
Smyth gave his answers to the charges, and,
as the answers of the other professors are
nearly the same, his will be the test case.
In his answer Professor Smyth dismisses
the first two charges-the one as too in
definite, the other as irrelevant. But on the
last two he makes his fight. The first Of

hand, believes and teaches, in several par

opposed to the Seminary Greed. Professor
Smyth calls attention to the absence in this
charge of any statements as to when, where
or how he has offended, and then denies;
with the statement, however, that under the
next and last charge he will explain the

Several changes are noticeable in these
ratios. The first and most important is

used. Formerly the weight of sugar used
was about one-ffth that of -four; now it is
about one-half or more, as some authorities
say. Then there is an increase in the amount

The responsibility for not reducing the
surplus Is clearly where Congressman Reed
puts it, upon the majority party of the House
of Representatives. At their last national
convention the Democracy promised that if
the people would entrust legislative power to
them they would cut down the tariff sand re-
duce the surplus. The majority of the peo-
pie gave them the opportunity they asked for.
But their promise is still unfulflled, and
thereis no prospect that it win be redeemed.
Why should not a party which cannot re-
deem its pledges abdicate?

tits not at all probable that all the reasons
or even the principal one of Lord Churchill's
resignation are to be found in his dissatisfac-
tion over the exorbitant estimates of Mr..
Smith and Lord Hamilton for the war and
navy departments. Probably his differences
with his colleagues touch subjects more vital
than this. He has never been fully in accord
with Lord Salisbury on the policy that
should be pursued toward Ireland. But
whatever his reasons may be, his resignation
is recognized as severe blow to the present
government. Indeed unless Lord Harting-
ton is willing to stand in the gar the chances
are that the cabinet will soon go to pieces.
