1t is now proposed to cover the new
part of the Kansas state house and let
it remain unfinished until times get bet
ter. There is some sense in this. There
is not county in this state to-day that
can afford to pay heavy taxes, and as
annual levy for the state house tax is
5Octs on the 81 600 valuation, it amounts
to quite sum. Barber county, alone,
will contribute 81 1872 to this fund. We
want to see the state have creditable
buildings, but we would like to see
them built in prosperous times. When
individuals have to economic even to
being stIngy, it is time that the state
should be careful only to collect such
taxes as 1t actually needs.

THE FARMERS CONVENTION.

The convention of farmers of South
ern Kansas met at Wichita on the 18th
inst. and organized by the election Dan
lei Winters, of Kiowa county, as chair
man, and John Kelley, of Sedgwick
county, as secretary. The usual COM
mittees were appointed.
The committee on resolutions report
ed the following which were adopted
after long discussion:
First-Resolyed, That II is the Judgment and
recomme ndation OF the convention that the
farmers In all the different counties of SOUTH
eru Kansas form in their respective counties
associations TO be known as Farmers Instf-
tutes," which shall hold annual n ceilings in the
interest Of agriculture and the general advance
ment Of all matters pertaining to the welfare
of the tanners, and it shall be the duty of the
vice-presidentso OF the convention to take charge
Of this business and organize these associations
I'm their respective counties and that this con-
vention become permanent organization, to
be known as the Southern Kansas Farmers As
ISOLATION.
Resolved. That Il is the sense Of this conyen-
ton that the legislature of Kansas this winter
shall make some arrangements for supplying
seed corn TO any farmer in western Kansas
who may have failed to raise a corn crop this
past year. and who may be unable to furnish
himself with the same.
Third. Resolved. That this convention urge
upon our legislature the necessity OF passing
an equity redemption law of two years after
Judgment, to reach such cases as those who
are living on their farms and endeavorfng to
make for themselves permanent homes on the
same.
Judge Parkinson, of Fort Scott, the
father Of the sorghum sugar industry
in Kansas, was present and delivered
an interesting address, on the subject of
sorghum sugar.
He told Of his experience at Ottawa
and Fort Scott; OF the failures at Ster-
ling and Hutchinson and of the final
success in making sugar at Fort Scott
and Topeka. He said:
In 1887 we made money. Again this year we
made profit. Sorghum sugar can now be
made probably at present prices, but not
with just any kind Of machinery or by anybody
any more than a -four mill can be. There are
two classes OF people who interfere with the
Development ~ sugar from sorghum. Those
who Jay behind and say it can't be done and
those darned fools who want to do IL all at once
and put mill on every quarter section in the
ct 70.
How small factory can build and oper-
ate proftablyz' is a question cannot answer
The tendency Is 70 larger rather than 10 small

COOLEY ON THE LAW

Judge Cooley of the interstate com
mission being asked regarding the bill
introduced by Congressman Morse in
the house of representatives, Monday,
providing for the re peal of the inter
state commerce law, said he did not
think there was the least danger that
either the long or short haul clause, the
pooling provisions or any other portion
of the law would be repealed. 1t was
his opinion as well as that of all other
members of the commission that the
law was an excellent one and fully met
the expectations of its projectors. The
commission not only favored the reten.
ton of every provision of the law as il
stood, but desired that it should be
made stronger. The failure to strictly
enforce the law was due to determined
opposition on the part of some railroad
interests and the inability of the com.
mission to procure the proper evidence
to convict the parties guilty of its vio-
lation. In resisting the law and refus-
ing to carry it out, the railroad retarded
the progress of the country.

A BUSINESS WAY.

SenatOr-elect Gillette, Of Kingman.
with other capitalists, is organizing a
sorghum sugar company to put In big
mill at Kingman. Mr.. Gillette has
lately made careful examination of
the mills at Fort Scott and Topeka and
he spent several days in Washington
comforting with the agricultural depart
ment and with members Of congress.
He enlisted the interest of Senator
Plumb in his enterprise and, 1t is said,
the senator subscribed literally to the
capital stock Of the sugar company.
MIR. Gillette now says that he will put
every dollar in 1t that he can raise. not
with the view Of booming his town, but
as business enterprise.
To those who are acquainted with
Mr.. GilIette's methods, his course in
this matter will appear as of great inn
portance to the sorghum sugar indus
try. He "a legislator who understands,
as well as anyone, the disposition of
the Kansas legislature and he no doubt
believes that the bounty of two cents
per pound for sorghum sugar will be
again appropriated. He discovered
that the national legislature and the
agricultural department are favorable
to increased appropriations for the de-
velopment Of the sorghum sugar indus
try. tie enlisted Senator Plumb, the
business senator from Kansas. In his
proposed Kingman enterprise and 1t Is
safe to say that now his company will
be established on a solid foundation.
Then. II Kingman can make a sue
cess e this business. why may not Medi-
cine Lodgep suare we have advantages
that no other town in Southern Kansas
has. When we see that other communi-
ties are putting their money In plants,
with every prospect Of government anc
state and, IL would appear that our mon
led men should not hesitate about max
ing liberal subscriptions.

THE CATTLE BUSINESS.

Maj. LleweIlyn, live stock agent of the
Santa Fe railroad was interviewed the
other day by reporter and he gave it
as his opinion that the grazing interests
were improving and that from now on
there will be money in the cattle bust
ness. The Santa Fe hauls about fifty
per cent. of the cattle that goes into
Kansas City from the west. This sea-
son 1t has done an immense business
from the Indian Territory, Kansas, Tex
as, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
While the range business of Kansas has
been changed and feeding has become
more general, there are many extensive
pastures. The next big range country,
Maj. Llewellyn says, will be Old Next
co. The government is now selling fine
grazing lands along the border. espec-
tally in the states of Sonora and Chihua-
hua in blocks of from SOC, 900 to 5000
600 acres on extremely good terms, and
that country is filling up rapidly with
outfits from this side of the border, some
of the wealthiest cattlemen taking adj
vantage of the opportunity to move
their herds to new ranges. The major
thinks that the outlook for range cattle
men is much brighter and better now
than it was one year ago, and in fact
better than 1t has been at any time since
the depression began with the expulsion
of the cattle men and their herds from
the Indian Territory.

Boston Corbett has been heard from
in Old Mexico. Boston is the man who
shot Wilkes Booth, who came to Kan
sas and was lionized for many years and
gwen an important Office in the Kansas
legislature, and one day, while crazy,
stampeded the house Of representatives
with revolver. Then he was put in
the insane asylum where he should have
been years before. lie escaped a year

OKLAHOMA.

The Oklahoma bill came up in the
house last week, and considerable
sized row occurred over it.. Congress
man Payson, a demagogue of Illinois,
offered an amendment providing that
the general homestead law should apply
to the proposed new territory so far as
old soldiers were concerned. Under the
Springer bill, the lands are to be sold
Tor 81 % per acre and then three years
continuous residence on the land is re-
quired before patent can Issue. Pay
sons amendment was regarded by the
friends Of the bill as introduced To kill
it, and so Congressman Springer, of
Illinois, aud Warner, of Missouri,
jumped on the amendment. One is a
leading Democrat while the other is the
commander of the Grand Army OF the
Republic. Mr.. Warner said the old sol e.
diers were not beggars and they did not
ask the government TO buy land from
the Indians for $1.25 per acre and give
II to them. In the debate 1t was init
mated that Payson was working direct
ly in the interest of those who did not
want Oklahoma opened. He did not
satisfactorily explain that that was not
his position. Before vote could be had
on the Payson amendment an adjourn
ment was had,

The Democratic members of congress
have agreed to support bill that will
admit as states the territories of Mon
tana, Washington, New Mexico and
Dakota, and they will make two states
of Dakota if the people of that territory
demand it. We do not believe the Re-
publicans Of the senate will permit the
Democratic administration to get any
political prestige out of such a bill.
They will not be willing to have it said
that the Cleveland administration made
four or FIVE new states.

CANADA ANNEXATION

Congressman Butterworth, of Ohio,
last week introduced into congress a
concurrent resolution providing for the
appointment, by the president, of a
commission to confer with representa-
tives OF the government of Great Brit
ain and the Dominion of Canada with
the idea of annexing Canada, or one or
more of the provinces to the United
States. 1t is known that considerable
portion of the Canadian population is
anxious for the annexation and we ex-
pect TO see this issue thoroughly dis
cussed within the next two years. By
reason of location, race, lineage, history
and traditions Canada and the United
States are closely allied, and if the debt
of that country, that we would have to
assume, is not too large, annexation Is
perhaps the best thing that could occur
for both countries. 1t would give us
control of the great fishing waters of
the northeast and the pine lands of the
north, and therefore our wealth would
be greatly increased.
