The Wichita EAGLE gives the text of
two bills which the legislature will be
asked to pass. One of these authorizes
the deduction of so the first year and So

supply by the roadside to prolonged in

running water, places to be no more fire.

FROM Kansas City Gazette.
A correspondent of the Wichita EAGLE
prepares two good bills for the considera-
ton of the next legislature. The first is
an act to encourage the establishment of
public watering places for stock along
public roads and highways outside of in
corporated cities; and the second, to en-
courage the planting and care of shade
and forest trees along public roads and
highways outside of incorporated cities

SENATOR PLUMB AND THE CABINET

From the Kansas City Star.
There has been asgreat deal of talk in
Kansas in relation to cabinet position
for Senator Plumb under the Harrison
administration, and some papers in that
state have already gone so far as to as
sign to him the portfolio of the treasury.
1t is doubtful whether Plumb would de-
sire any Office within the gift of the
president-elect. His reelection to the
senate is a foregone conclusion, and so
far as the future can be discounted he
has a perpetual lease upon that
Office. 1t is place entirely
suited to Plumb's capabilities,
and the range of his influence is con-
stantly widening as he becomes moro
familiar with the affairs of the state,
and the various problems which engage
the attention of the law making power.
A commanding position in the United
States senate is an honor which is not to
be lightly surrendered, and no one, prob
ably, has a more intelligent appreciation
of this fact than Senator Plumb. Four
years in the cabinet can scarcely be re-
garded in the light of temptation when
it is set over against six, twelve or eigh-
teen years in the senate.

As to Alien Land Owners.


Under the new amendment to the con-
stitution. adopted at the recent election.
the Kansas Legislature will doubtless pass
a law which will compel alien landhoiders
in this state to relinquish their large land

Among the aliens who will thus be CON-
PEELED to vamose are the British Land

The Wichita EAGLE gives us a double
loaded article on "the forces and ele-
ments which build great commercial
centers." and takes Kansas City as an
example. The state papers will do a
patriotic duty, and favor their own, if
when in speaking of stock yards, cattle
interests, packing house interests, clear
ing house reports, instead of saying
kansas City" in general they will
please say kansas City, Kansas. -

The Kansas City Gazette is mashed, SO
to speak, on Hon. John A. Anderson,
congressman from the Fifth Kansas
district; so much so, in fact, that it
urges him for a cabinet position in the
Harrison administration. Mr.. Anderson
would unquestionably make a competent
department chief and presidential ad-
wiser. In fact President Harrison could
not do better than make up his cabinet
from the Sunflower state, were such
thing advisable.

Fishing in Alaska is good if Canadi-
an gentleman recently visiting there
tells the truth. He says that at Tongass
Narrows he saw creek so crowded
with salmon that the surface was ac-
tually blackened with their backs and
dorsal fins. In some places they were
crowded so closely that they could
hardly move, and could be picked out of
the water by hand. At canning estab-
lishment he saw 5000 fish just taken,
waiting treatment, and in one case one
draught of a seine brought 10 shore $500
salmon. We mention this, out of pure
magnanimity, for the especial informa-
ton of Nimrod Cleveland, in view of
his penchant mot pension for that pass
time, and the further fact that he ap-
pears somewhat at loss what to do
with himself when his present occupa-
ton is gone.

Of its majority for President Harrison.
At first it was thought the majority
given by Pennsylvania would prove to be
the largest, but the official count shows
its plurality for Harrison to be 70, sol,
while that of Kansas is something of
$4,000. The third party Prohibition vote
in Pennsylvania was little more than
5000 larger than four years ago, while
the Union Labor vote was about IL 900
smaller. The aggregate vote of the state
was $4,000 larger than it was in 1884, the
increase being about equally divided be-
tween the two leading parties.

Within radius of forty miles of Roch-

more than 1900 fruit evaporators. These
evaporators give employment during the
autumn and winter to about $4,000
hands, whose wages average from s. to
S12 a week. Last season the production
of these evaporators was about 30, 900, 900
pounds, worth at first cost about $4,000
900. No portion of New York, OF any
other state of the union, excels Kansas
in the production of most kinds of fruits,
and few sections possess equal facilities
for reaching the markets of this country,
and with the opening of deep water har
bors on the Gulf coast. the markets of

countries abroad are Germany, England,
Belgium, Holland and France, in which
the new product has entirely displaced
the old-fashioned sun-dried fruit. West
Africa and Australia are also beginning
to call for evaporated fruit.

A LOOK AT WICHITA.

From the American IN. Y. Cttyl Banker.
Your correspondent came to Wichita,
Kan, somewhat cynical as to the per-
manense of the business interests of that
| town, and the extent of her industrial
| activity. But whatever doubt was felt
before arrival, it was completely dis
| PEELED after few days sojourn in this
| enterprising city. One thing became
| evident at once, and that was, that the
| unprecedented activity In real estate
had greatly subdued, but was now rest
ing on the legitimate basis of natural
and healthy demand. Far from being
indicative of decline in prosperity, it is
an evidence of the fact that the future
of the city will be founded on sub
stantial. instead of visionary basis.
The appearance of Wichita is strik-
1ngly metropolitan. The streets, well
paved and free from accumulations of
filth, Gin this respect the town is rather
unmetropolitan), are thronged with
busy mass of shoppers and business men.
The buildings are large, thoroughly
equipped and mostly built of brick and
stone. There are street cars. electric
lights, water system which leaves no.
thing to be desired, and city govern
ment which is alert and progressive-in
short, all the signs point to a future of
calm and conservative development,
which will make this fair city of the
southwest representative OF American
character ana enterprise.
Banking capital upon which all this
growth may depend, is thoroughly flexi-
BILE in Wichita and ample to meet every
emergency. 1t is in the hands of exper-
fenced and wide awake fnanciers who
inspire thorough confidence. There are
eight banking Institutions in the city,
having an aggregate of capital amount
ing to about 81 1900 Together with
the banks, there are number of sound
ly established investment and loan COM
panies, possessing total capital of about
$0OO,OO0. So thoroughly is the ground
covered, that money IS cheap, in good
demand and readily procured. What
struck your correspondent as much as any
thing during his visit was the enthusiast
tic devotion to local interests exhibited
by the gentlemen who are at the head of
these prosperous financial institutions.
The least sign of awakening enterprise is
encouraged with eclat. Capital is Law
ishly offered, but always with care. These
are the impressions of a cursory view.
and from the conversations which your
correspondent enjoyed with Wichlta's
genial and intelligent fnanciers, he is
convinced that his conclusions regarding
the soundness Of the city's prosperity is
not the result of superficial knowledge.
