The bureau of the census department

The bureau of the census department
for its work in 1890, has divided Kansas
in four districts, which may be known
as southeast, northeast. northwest and
southwest, numbered, respectively, first,
second, third and fourth. The first dis
trict embraces the seventeen counties of
Linn, Bourbon, Crawford, Cherokee, La
bette. Neosho, Allen, Anderson, Coffey,
Woodson, Wilson, Montgomery, Chau-
tauqua, Elk Greenwood, Lyon and
Chase. The second district contains the
eighteen counties of Miami, johnson,
Wyandotte, Leavenworth, Atchison,
Doniphan, Brown, jackson, Jefferson,
Douglas, Franklin, Usage, Shawnee,
Pottawatonie, Nemaha. Marshall, Riley
and Wabaunsee. The third district is
composed Of the counties south Of line
running from the north line of Greeley
county on the west to Chase county on
east and the western line of Chautauqua
county on the south. The fourth dis
trict embraces the counties north of the
Greeley north line and west of the Mar

It is announced that the members OF the
Cherokee commission will meet for organ
iZation shortly after July 4, either in Kan
sas City or st. Louis. Kansas City has ex-
erted larger influence in opening up the
Oklahoma lands TO settlement than st.
Louis or any other city in the country, and
its public journals have contended perse-
veringly for the cession of the Cherokee
outlet to the government. 1t is more
nearly concerned than any other city in
the work of the Cherokee commission,
and for this and other reasons touching
the convenience and comfort of the gen.
tlemen composing the board it would be
fitting for them to organize az this place.
b. {. Star.
The esteemed Star is so wholly mac
curate in the foregoing that it is liable to
create false impression upon those who
have not kept close up with history of
the Oklahoma country. The Star ought
to know, if it does not, that the first
movement looking to the opening Of that
country TO settlement originated In
Wichita, and although for several years
subsequently little was said about it here,
vet all the influence" that Kansas City
could bring to bear had no effect in Sc
curing the opening, and it was not until
Wichita took the matter up last fall that
anything was accomplished in that direc-
ton. So that, viewing it in the light Of
effortput forth that bore results, or Of the
nvenconience and comfort of the gentle
men composing the board, or yet the re-
ciprocal interests between this city and
the people of the territory in question, no
place is as fitting as Wichita for the
meeting and organization Of the board.

KANSAS CITY FOR KANSAS CITY
AND WICHITA FOR KANSAS.

From the Chicago Times,
The Kansas City Times of May % says
''If the wholesalers and jobbers OF
Kansas City are alive to their interests
they will at once unite in a strenuous
effort to SO equalize west-bound freight
rates that eastern shippers will not be
offered heavy inducements to send their
goods around rather than through Kan
sas City"
This is virtually saying to Chicago. St.
Louis and ell eastern cities that they
have no right to do business in Kansas
unless that business goes through the
hands of Kansas City Jobbers.
because Wichita, Jobbing and man.
ufacturing city some 200 miles south
west of there, has by the recent decision
of the Kansas railroad commissioners
succeeded in preventing unjust discrim-
nations being made through the instru-
mentality of the Kansas City jobbers
against their business, and made it pos
sible for Chicago and the eastern cities TO
do business direct with Wichita, they
now propose to retaiiate against the
state which has given them all their
wealth and prominence. Kansas having
paid tribute to Kansas City. the jobbers
of that city have carried the idea that
thew control the state; and now that
Wichita has had the moral courage 10
show up the exact extent to which these
Determinations have been carried to the
detriment OF the state, they seek to die
tate to the railroads what they shall do
to carry freight for their exclusive bene-
fit.
The railroads thoroughly understand
the situation. and viii see that freights
will be established on more even basis
than has been done heretofore The

The speck of war cloud in the east

for deluge of blood that is to again
drench the European continent. An

Guilty in finding an excnse in the report

ations with his waiting legions. The
strained relations between Germany
and France and Italy seem to afford
Russia a convenient opportunity to
pounce down upon the Turkish posses
sions west of the Bosphorus and extend
the Russian sway to that boundary, a
long cherished ambition and which was
only prevented of consummation as the
sequel to the Russo-Turkish war of a
few years ago by the united interfer.
ence of the powers. The near future
promises some startling developments

That's what the author of the article
thought, no doubt; at least that was
what he seemed to say. On the princi-

ating at Kansas City that they applied to
the state railroad commissioners for
relief, and on equal rates they were
willing to do business in competition
with other cities.
This kick On the part Of Kansas City
demonstrates the fact that they are not
willing to do business in Kansas without
having special advantages, and it is
reasonable to infer that their success has
been due in measure to special rates.
Wichita is evidently working for
Kansas, and no doubt will be heard
from again, as no city with the push

In response to the Republicans sugges-

meant by its assertion that elections in

1t takes muscle to rise, and it costs brains
to explain, besides we have long since
learned that the average proposition calls
for no explanation that Governor Eskridge
may understand it. The Republican is
not so much in need of light as it would
have us believe. and it knows that we say
the truth when we declare that the Re-
publicans Of Kansas are ripe for rebellion.
Rebellion against what?-against the
