THE STATES FINANCES.

Topeka journal.
The clerks in the state treasury are en-
gagged today in clipping the coupons
from the stacks of bonds piled about
them so deep that they can scarcely see
over them. The coupons are payable
seml-annually, January and July. They
are clipped in advance two or three
months and the school district clerk, the
township trustee or the county clerk, as
the case may be, is notified by postal
card when they fall due.
A Journal reporter who visited the
state treasury in his regular rounds to-
day made inquiry concerning the in
debtedness and investments of the state
and the different funds, and CLEANED the
following information:
The permanent school fund has in
vested in state, county, municipal and
school bonds the sum of 81, e, sos. so.
The state agricultural college fund has
S415, 223. O6 invested in bonds of the
same kind, the sinking fund $l2, 900;
State University fund, S11S,4l5.6S; the
State Normal school fund, $97, 304.
The State Agricultural college also
holds as assets S23, 476. 80 in notes and
accounts.
The total state debt is Ss15, 200, and of
this amount all but $3.50, 900, or $3.50, 900,
is held as an investment by these various
funds. the permanent school fund hold
ing the greater part of it. The 1856, 600
held by individuals and corporations out
side of the state would be purchased by
these funds if they could be secured, but
they cannot be purchased for less than
Sl.35, being quoted considerably higher
than government bonds. The credit of
the sunfiower state is not second to that
of any state in the union. We do not
believe. in fact, that the bonds Of any
other state are quoted as high ~ those OF
Kansas.
These figures have been prepared for

Whether by design or accident Mr..
Cleveland has omitted one of the most
forceful political phrases to be found in
the lexicons, but the New York Tribune
caught on to it. 1t says: 1.-THE writer
Of popular new novel makes use sew
eral times of the word 'ineluctable.
According to the dictionaries 'ineluct-
able means not to be resisted by strug-
Cling; not to be overcome; that is, not to
be got away from. 1t seems in order at
this stage of the campaign to remark
that the issue which Mr.. Cleveland
raised by his last message and confirmed
by his letter of acceptance will be found
ineluctable."

To Keen Plants in Winter

A new principal for keeping plants
through the winter without artificial heat
was recently shown at Regents Park,
London, with the plants grown in them
last winter. The essense of the invention
is that all light and heat shall previously
pass through shallow layer of water.
The water is found to exercise great
control over the temperature, protecting
plants entirely from frost in winter and
from excessive direct heat in summer.
The application involves no difficulty.
In the case of garden frame sliding
"water light" about three inches deep, is
made to fit over the frame containing the
plants, the only difference from d glass
light being that it holds water and is
always placed in fiat position. The
depth of water generally kept in the tank
is about two inches in summer and winter,
and half the depth in spring and autumn.

FARM NOTES.

The Baldwin is a very popular apple
with Canadi horticulturists, but many
consider the Spy quite as hardy and long
er lived.
The following is said to be an excellent
food for bears: Take corn and rye, or
wheat, of each one part, and oats four
parts. Grind this fine, and to it add as
much bran as there is of the feed.
Where the ground has been well har-
rowed, and made even and smooth, the
labor of harvesting will be lessened, as the
ground will be better fitted for the work OF
the harvesting machine. Remove all
stones that may interfere.
In estimating the value Of manure as
fertilizer always take into consideration
the cost of hauling the same to the fields,
as well as the facility with which 1t can
be applied. Very bulky material, though
valuable, may sometimes cost more than
it is worth if hauled long distances O."
over heavy ground.
President Chamberlain expresses him

Runaway Matches.

Just huw far parents influence should
extend over the matrimonial alliances of
their children is a matter of opinion,
writes Texas lady to the Galveston News,
but when we see some of the matches
which our lax customs on this subject per-
nit we might well be excused if we fav-
ored quite an extension of parental au-
thority. That young person of either
sex is qualified at Is years Of age to de
eide so momontous a question would be
unanimously denied if 1t were not so Gus
tomary to allow girls at that age TO con-
tract obligations which involve their
whole future. The idea that they should
assume these obligations contrary to the
wishes of their parents is, indeed, mons
trOus.
II seems, no doubt, grand frolic some
times to outwit the old folks, to marry
without their consent, but the frolic gen
orally proves to be very seaious, solemn
business, and in a few years. time there
is nothing so sweet as the care and help
these same old folks are called upon to
bestow.
There is no love SO unselfish as that of
parent, and girl may well be cautious
about trusting her future to man who
would persuade her to grieve and disap-
point their faithful hearts. On the other
hand, it is safe to assert that an unduti-
full, ungrateful daughter is not likely to
make the most loving. patient, and self
sacrificing of wives and mothers.
Besides these considerations, conscious
worth should inspire a young man with
certain self-respect which would demand
welcome from the parents of the wom-
an whom he would make his wife.
There are unreasonable, exacting pa
rents, Just as there are foolish, giddy,
young people, but their age, experience,
and the tender love they bear their child
rem entitIe their wishes to consideration
from even the most infatuated couple.
We would hear of very few runaway
matches if the proper sympathy and con-
fidence were maintained between girls
their mothers.
The light fancy, the pleasant attraction
which girl feels toward any nice, agree
able gentleman should be recognized and
respected by the mother. She, too, has
been along that enchanted pathway.
That feeling, however, should not be
mistaken for the love founded on esteem,
which alone can weather the married life
without making shipwrecks o. all our
dearest hopes.
