For some unaccountable reason Kansas
has been known in the east as the cyclone
state, when the fact is. all of the most
deadly twisters have done their work in
the states east of Missouri. Kansas never
experienced such storms as those at New
Ulm, Minnesota, Comanche and Grinnell,
Iowa, Marshfield Missouri. Tuscumbia,
Alabama, Greencastle, Indiana, and this
one at Mt. Vernon. Illinois.

SCHOOL FUNDS.
The Semi-Annual Aportionment to the
Various Counties.

The state school fund is apportioned
semi-annually in February and August.
The following figures show the amount
of the February apportionment, based
upon the school population Of the coun-
ties. The amount in total is about the
same as the August apportionment, but
tbs per capita amount is reduced from
81 to 90 cents by reason of an increase in
the school population of the state OF
nearly 90 ()(l0

columns of the Republican that Emporia
society has given itself over to the frlvol-

and the like, in which former staid and

RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Burlington in Kansas

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad company has flied with the sec
rotary OF state copy of its charter,
issued by the state of Illinois, together
with a certified copy of a resolution of
its directors authorizing the service of
process upon its officers or agents in
Kansas. and that the company become
subject to the provisions of the act of
the legislature of Kansas, approved
March 4, 1887, entitled IAN act to amend
section /, of chapter 1874, laws of 1885,
ETC., and authorizing the filing with the
secretary of state of Kansas copy of its
charter. 1t is generally believed that
the Burlington fcontemplates an extern
sion of its line from Concordia, Kan. to
the Pacific this season. This filing made
by the Burlington is equivalent to taking
out a charter to enable the company to
extend its line through this state.

EItlested,

Jessie Holmes, who was one of the
eight persons indicted for completely in
the Fidelity bank burst up in Cincinnati,
has been dismissed by the United States
court, the district attorney moving a
nolle in her case. This ends the famous
case, but, as a local paper says, the pub
lie are curious to know how it was that
only two convictions could be had out of
eight indictments. We think the court
did pretty well in convicting the two
principal actors. 1t was one instance
where money had no influence.

Chicago Times: Many years ago
Horace Greeley visited Kansas, which
was then territory, and astonished the
world by stating that it contained more
cities than all the New England and
middle states. The work of building
cities in Kansas, or at lest of forming
them on paper, has gone on very rapidly
since the printer philosopher first visited
the territory. The last quarterly report
of the state board of agriculture gives a
table showing the cities of Kansas hav-
ing population of 1000 and upward.
There are ia of them. Only eight have
population exceeding 10000. OF the
places called cities and incorporated as
such, .. have less than 1000 in-
habitants. In arranging these cities ac-
cording to their respective rank Wichita
stands first. and is credited with q popu-
lation of 81, 200.

The Southern Kansas in the Territory

The Southern Kansas IN the territory.
Kansas City Star.
The case of the Cherokee nation VS..
the Southern Kansas railroad company,
in which the plaintiff brought suit to en-
Join the railroad company from building
their road through the Cherokee nation S
territory. has been decided by Judge
Parker. of the United States court. in
favor of the railroad. The court holds
that the right of Cherokees to lands in
their nation is from fee simple titles, but
that the right of eminent domain is
in the United States, and that therefore
congress could pass law grant
ing right of way. This opinion
is important in its relation
to the commercial interests of the great
west. The influence of railroads in de-
veloping a country and bringing to light
its resources has been abundantly at
tested in the history of many of the new
er states, and the experience will be re-
peated in the Indian territory. The vast
natural wealth of that section should no
longer remain reproductive. and with
railroads penetrating into the territory,
the question of settlement and the occu-
patton of the soil by producers will be
greatly fastened.
Building Railroads to Raise Land Values.
An article in Bradstrset,s relating to
future railroad construction. and refer
ring particularly to the probable construc-
ton this year and in 1889. says: The
actual traffic requirements OF the next
two or three years have less to do with
the probable railroad mileage construc-
ton than ever before. Ii future railroad
building is to be determined by this it
will be scant for the next twelve mouths.
The new factor to override the old one.
is that railroads will be built to make
land. mineral and timber investments
productive in the next five years instead
of for what traffic they may haul during
that time. Some lines developing
contiguous territory and connecting
parallel roads will engage more
attention than the building Of long
lines. That is. the chief benefit that rail-
road builders in the future will seak To
realize will be in the appreciation OF land
rather than in hammered down or COM
missioned down freight rates: The pro-
cess of land acquisition by individuals,
syndicates and combinations of lndivfd-
uals now going on indicates more clearly
than any other agency ..the probabilities
as to railroad building during the next
two or three wears There Is scarcely a
section in the United States where this
process is not going on. The limited
railroad building for traffic may have
been very nearly reached for the present,
but the field for railroad construction for
investment to meet the future needs OF
the expanding population is wider and
opens vast opportunities for CONSERVATIVE
investors.

Does the Voter see /?


Mr.. Levi P. Morton, III his littIe con
tribution to the campaign literat6te
says: Every voter in the Unitet
States clearly sees that the controllinl
question is whether the protective tari1
duties now in force shall be 80 reducet
as to destroy their efficiency or whethe
these duties shall be retained with sucl
notifications and adjustments as shal
better adapt them to the great end O
protecting the vast and important III
dustries of the wiole country.n Ant
even in his short epistle he finds room
to say substantially the same thing
again.
Does every voter see that this Is tils
controlling question? If SO il must b
because he sees that the Mills bill pro-
poses to reduce the protective tariff
duties SO as to destroy their efficacy
for it Is in that bill that the "contrnl.
ling question: is definitely presented,
Does every voter see this? Does any
voter see it? The war-tariff partisans
assert 1t continually and vociferonsly,
but they do not prove it. They do not
take up any one proposed reduction
and show that it would destroy the
protective efficiency oftbe tax. They
roam up and down in the land telling
voters that the tariff taxes do not make
prices higher and that the articles on
which they are laid are sold as cheap
in this country as anywhere in the
world. If that is true the home pro-
ducers are abundantly protected by
the cost Of bringing the foreign goods
into the country, and they do not need
to be protected by any tax at all on such
goods. How, then, Is il possible for
them or any other voters to see that q
reduction from AZ per cent to SO per
cent on the goods now dutiabie, or to
43 per cent on the goods left on the
dutiabIe list by the Mills bill, would
destroy tile protective efficiency OF the
taxes? No voter can see any such
thing.
In 1861 the Morrill, tariffwas enacted.
It was protective tariff aud the basis
OF the preseut tariff. Nobody doubted
its protective efficiency, and It WAS NOT
increased until internal taxes were
laid on the protected goods. and then
professedly only for the purpose of
compensating the protected home pro-
ducers for the internal taxes laid on
their products. Under that protective
tariff the average on .lutiable goods
was Sc s per cent in 1882. g. .s2 per oss.:I
in 1868, and only 36. 60 per cent m 1854, |,

Eleven years ago, when Reynolds built

notice, he should refuse 10 make the
