ExrRAVAGANT DEMANDS THE
OAERE

Sol. Miller comments as follows on
the misery appropriations for the state
charitable institutions. and the cause
thereof, He says:
We see that Jacob Stotler, member
OF the state board of charities, says
that the appropriations made by the
legislature are wholly insufficient to
carry them on. Who IS to blame for
it? At every session of the legislature
each institution sends in an estimate
of its needs. Not one of them ever
| fails to put in for a lot of costly i'm
provcments, many of them exorbi-
Lant and unnecessary. In cutting
down, those that really deserve much
are wronged, while the less deserving
are given more than they are
board make all the estimates,
and make them reasonable, instead of
| allowing the superintendent of the
several institutions to make estimates
governed wholly by their own desires
to put on style. That Hutchinson con-
Germ could very we'll have been left
out altogether and the money given to
the insane asylums, and the reform
school. Thousands upon thousa nds of
dollars have been literally thrown
away upon frauds, while legitimate in
situations must suffer. The silk bust
ness, the Paris commission, the Fish
commission, the Grand Army sheds,
the COW doctor, and lot of new sine
cures, have had thousands and thous-
ands of dollars thrown away on them,
while the asylums are insufficient. But
| when such demands are made as that
of putting costly electric lights
in the blind asylum. it is re
wonder that the "Solons" became dis
gusted, and go to the other extreme.
Electric lights could surely have been
of no use to the blind people in the asy-
lum. 1t was intended for the high
toned and luxurious tastes of the Office rs
of the concern. Next would have fol-
lowed demand for pianos for the Deaf
and Dumb Institute, and telescopes for
the Insane AsylumS. Officers of such
institutions are apt to imagine they are
kept up for their especial benefit. And
there is just where the trouble comes
in. The officers of the institutions.
and the towns where they are located,
make it a rule to go through the state
treasury for all they can get.

Letter Prom Senator Plumb

We publish the following letter from
Senator Plumb, as it defines his POSI-
ton on the Oklahoma question more
definitely than any previous utterance
of his and contains few words in re-
gard to the attempts to injure him by
burning him in effigy:
UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHING
TON, D. G. March 1O.-Thomas Wright,
Esq, Oklahoma, l. T.-Dear Comrade:
am duly in receipt of yours of the 9Th.
Cleveland did not issue any proclama-
tion declaring Oklahoma open to set
Element and could not have done so
legally if he had desired because the
land had not become the property of
the United States and will not until it
is paid for, and that payment has not
been made and cannot for some little
time to come. When it is made Presi-
dent Harrison may or may not issue a
proclamation. On this subject l can
not even guess what he will do. The
land offices will not be established I'M
til after the lands are open to settle
ment by proclamation. This Is forbid
den by law. The new law provides.
just as the Springer bill did, that If
anyone settles upon the land before the
proclamation is issued he shall not OBJ
tain title or even have any interest
therein. My judgment is the best
thing for all to do is to wait pa
tiently until the proclamation is is
sued. The man who is at his home in
Cowley county or elsewhere in Kansas
will have just as good a chance to get a
claim as though he staid along the
border, for have no doubt that when
the proclamation comes to be issued it
will name some time in advance so as
to give all an equal opportunity. 1t is
possible, also, that the president will
wait until negotiations have been made
with the Cherokees before he opens
any of the land to settlement. AS you
perhaps know, the Seminole lands are
to be purchased. and this purchase is
not expected to be contaminated before
about the 1st of July. Meanwhile
have no doubt commission will be APP
pointed to negotiate with the Cherokees,
so that some time during the summer
! or fall all the unoccupied lands west of
degree 96 will be opened to settle
| ment.
am not especially concerned about
abuse, nor about being hung in efdgy.
| So long as am satisfied with the man
ner in which 1 have discharged my
public duties / am willing that other
| people should do as they see fit, bnt be-
| fore this matter is all over am salts
| fed that all honest. sensible people will
come to feel and understand that ]
have been the very best friend which
| those who want to make actual homes
in Oklahoma have ever had. / have
not been quite as helpful to some of the
town site spectators as might have
been, but have been looking after the
actual settler and as result of what
1 have done the speculative town peo-
pie are left out and the actual settler
| gets his land for nothing. Under the
Springer bill he had to pay $1.25 ar
acre for it and under that bill also a
half mile on each side of every rail-
road built or located was reserved fol
the benefit of town sites.

WHAT Will BE THE RESULT.

Considerable uncertainty, mixed
With more or less apprehension, exists
in this state relative to the effect on the
salt output of the trust now being or
ganized. 1t is we'll known that the OBJ
ject of the trust is twofold. First, to
limit production by closing up salt
wells, and secondly, to raise the price.
The second follows from the first, and
without it could not be. The query
suggests itself, what salt properties
will the trust close up? The answer
to this is replete with interest to Kan
sas. The salt interests of the United
Slater are mainly located in Michigan
and New York. Fully one-half of all
the salt manufactured in the country
is made in these two states. In them
are found the men " no are at the head
of the salt trust, the men of wealth
whose capital is employed in that in
dustry, and who are directly interested
in controlling the business.
The Kansas salt works have in the
last year or two sprung into existence
as formidable rivals to their older COM
petitors in the east. Because of the
out put here the market for east
ern salt is being limited in the west.
AS salt wells will be closed somewhere
may not the trust, if organi zed, shut up
the Kansas works, or greatly restrict
their operations? 1t is at least, fully
as likely that the salt out put will be
reduced in this state, as in Michigan or
New York. And if the superior wealth
power and organization of eastern salt
men are considered, the presum ptiOn
that they would favor themselves at the
expense of Kansas is not improbable.
Such Is the situation as it appears now
and hence the doubt and apprehension
in the minds of many,
OF course, what is said above is
based on the suppoistion that the Kan.
sas salt men agree to enter the trust.
Should they refuse, it then becomes
a question whether they can fight the
trust successfully or not. The history
of others who have attempted to hold
their own against trusts is not encour.

mar THINK OFT.

They tell an odd story at Atchison
about a Christian scientist there who
tested his powers on growing plants.
He planted 100 grains of wheat in three
Doxes, the conditions of each being
precisely the same. He then began TO
apply his science He willed or
mentally encouraged" the growth of
the wheat in one box, discouraged the
growth in the second, and left the
wheat in the third to take care of
itself. Result, the 100 grains in the
first box sprouted inside of fifteen days
and grew apace. In the second or dis
couraged box only SO of the 100 grains
sprouted, and grew in sickly manner.
The third box did fairly well, being a
good average between the first and sec
ond. This example of the application
of Christian science to matters other
than the cure OF bodily ailments IS
something new under the sun. 1t Is a
revelation If there be any truth in it

The democratic railway mail agents
are not as serenely happy as they
might be. There are two reasons why
they are not. In the first place, they
construe the presidents order supend-
ing the operations of the civil service
rules in the railway mail service until
May as indicating a purpose to get
them out Of the way, or greatly reduce
their number. In the second place, the
order made under Cleveland's admin
istration, rendering impossible the re-
turn to the service after one year of
OF those discharged for political rea-
sons, has boon modified, and the one
year extended to three. Thus is the
way made clear for the return of old
republican agents turned out any time
within the past three years. These
orders of the president are taken by
the democratic boys to mean
expulsion from the service
OF many of them. They
are little blue over the outlook, but
do not complain at all. One of them,
speaking about it, said that If none of
them were removed there would still
be as many republicans in the service
