The state of Kansas is four hundred
miles long by two hundred miles wide,
which area cuts up into eight equal
parts one hundred miles square each.
The smallest of these areas is
the northeast square, which the
Missouri river curtails. The pres
ent capital is at or near the
center of this smaller square. In short,
the capital of Kansas is in the center of
the nostheast eighth of the state. 1t is
barely fifty miles from the east line and
$50 from the west line. 1t is barely
sixty miles from the north line of the
state and $50 from the south line. 1t is
north of the center of population fifty
or sixty miles and one hundred miles
east of the center of population.
OF course it is not contemplated that
the move, or that the new capital, shall
cost the taxpayers of Kansas anything,
unless they prefer otherwise. But the
cost, when it comes to spread out over
this vast rich state, is hardly worth dis
cussing, at least that matter would not
influence one vote in ten. Any one of a
half dozen towns can be named which
will not only be very close to the per-
manent center of population, which viii
be settled within three to Eve years. but
either of which can and would gladly
make arrangements to erect the capitol
building by simply floating such real
estate as would be thus enhanced in
value thousands of per cent. But more
of this hereafter.

THE OPENING OF OKLAHOMA

| From the Lawrence Journal.
The only objection we have noticed to
the organization of Oklahoma made by
Kansas men, proceeds on the theory that
such act Will lnJure our state; that the
immediate result will be the loss of SO
many of our citizens; that in the alarmed
fancy OF some of the prophets of evil,
almost every community will be deci-
mated. The readiest answer to this dole
full augery is furnished by the cities and
communities bordering on the territory
who naturally will be first to fill the
impulsion of the new movement. There
is no mixed opinion there. All favor the
admission of the territory, and all on
grounds of local interest.
But to those who have watched the
birth and progress of the movement to
admit the Indian Territory to civiliza-
ton, an answer furnished by the eXper-
fence and observation of over thirty
years in the eccentric currents of emf
grafton is much more conclusive and
convincing. When Kansas was first
opened it was prophesied with equal
pOsitiveness that western Missouri would
be almost depopulated in consequence.
And this supposition was much better
The border counties of Missouri were
old and well settled communities when
the flood began to pour into Kansas Has
the settlement of Kansas diminished
the population, or impaired the business
OF western Missouri. Let Kansas City
and St. Joseph answer.
1t is within the memory of hundreds
of our readers that up to the opening of
tlanH
up housekeeping arrangements with one
hand, and brushing the predatory flies
from the border with the other. all the
bulky articles of food required by her
people were almost entirely furnished by
Missouri. Flour, fruit, meat and fluid
sod corn We're the staple commodities
of import, although much gold was ex-
changed for horses, mules and cattle.
The terrible drouth Of 1860 destroyed not
alone the crops of grain. it starved to
death hundreds of promising orchards.
SO that it may be questioned whether
Kansas became really independent of
supplies from Missouri until the wonder
full centennial year when the new era of
her marvellous prosperity really began.
During this entire time, excepting of
course the years of war, the
western part OF MISSOURI enjoyed
market more permanent and remunera-
tive than that afforded to a like popula- |
ton anywhere In the union. Instead of |
and desolating Missouri, |
the openinfi of Kansas has raised it from !
an insignificant to a commanding posi- |
ton in all the elements of growth and |
greatness among the family of states.
The Journal has followed closely and |
sympathized with all the movements to |
break down the Chinese wall around the |
territory, and penetrate its domain with |
the highways of commerce and civihza- |
ton, and therefore consistently advo- |
Gates as it has ever done, the right of |
our fair, savage neighbor to speedy ter
ritorial habiliaments, secure IN the faith
that this action, of such ImmeasurabIe
benefit to Oklahoma will be OF equal ad-
vantage TO Kansas.
Wichita eagle., 1888-11-27

Sundry esteemed contemporaries are
IN condition of acute excitement and
worry over the prospect of a real old
fashioned duel between Senator Black
burn of Kentucky and Judge Rucker of
Colorado. Rucker is the man who saws
that during a call at the white house he
heard with his own ears Mr.. Cleveland
say that Hewitt was running for MAYOR
of New York city to beat the national
ticket-or words to that effect. Mr..
Cleveland says he didn't. Senator
Blackburn corroborateS the president
and says that Rucker whom he took to
the white house, is creature beyond the
recognition of gentlemen, and also "a
caricature upon humanity, for whose ex-
istence the Lord in fair dealing holds an
apology to mankind" This is pretty
sharp language certainly, and Rucker
(who is described as an ex-Kentuckian,
ex-confederate, ex-iudge of the criminal
court at Leadyille, and fighter from

with Colonel John c. Moore, also former

But probably the affair will settle itself
without the exchange of anything more

The Prohibition leaders promised, be-
fore the election, that they would make
as good showing in the Democratic
south as in the Republican north; but the
returns do not confirm the prediction.
In Tennessee, where Cleveland's plural
ity over Harrison is 19.2S4, the Prohibi-
tionists cast only $500 votes. In Arkan-
sas, where Cleveland's plurality over
Harrison is 1920, the Prohibitionists
cast only 614 votes. They made no better
showing in Texas or Georgia, where the
prohibition sentiment per Sc is known to
be strong and growing. All of which
shows that the people of the country.
without regard to section or locality,
will not tolerate the intrusion of that
question into national politics. If the
would-be champions of prohibition are
wise they will not again retard the
growth of that sentiment or hinder the
accomplishment of the end desired by
forcing it into a national campaign be-
fore the people are ready for it.

find solution in part of the recent fiuc-
tuations in the grain markets of the
country. The heavy traders are the
first to ascertain the conditions of the
market as to supply and demand and
this information enables them to shape
their dealings to their own profit. This
is but natural
Nevertheless, the law of supply and
demand is generally regarded as the
great medium or agency regulating val
ues, but in these latter days when COM
bines and trusts are in existence. pre-
ducers cannot be made to believe
that such law is effective. The ques-
ton then arises as TO how the complaints
OF those who sell at low prices and buy
at higher ones, In proportion. are to be
remedied: State or national legislation
can avail but little. .,n anything, toward
affecting the values of commodities. and
such legislation, when enacted. can be
often avoided. for there are many loop
holes through which escape can be had.
