HERE is crumb of comfort for the

The appointment of Tim Byrnes, OF
Minneapolis, to be appointment clerk
in the treasury, is looked upon as good
one. When Capt. Snider first offered
the place to Gen. A. b. Nettleton, he
supposed the latter would accept. Upon
his rejection of it, it was a question with
Snider whom he would recommend for
the place. He was DESTROYS of having a
friend at court to look out for many
other Minnesota Buys who want places.
6yrnes' appointment 60 the place means
that the treasury department will be well
filled before many months with great
numbers of Mnnesoiians who are de-
sirous of entering the government SER
vice. This was Capt. Snider's object IN
securing this particular appointment for
Minnesota.

ALEssoN IN GEOGRAPHY.

From the Lane County Republican.
One-third of Kansas is west of a
line which runs along the eastern Dor
der of Norton, Graham, Trego, Ness,
Hodgeman, Ford and Clark counties.
This is Western Kansas geographical
" and in fact. Here are thirty-two
great counties with a population OF
nearly 100000. Here are more peo-
pie than there were in Kansas twenty
years ago. These people are as intel
ligent. as enterprising and as deserv-
ing rs the state ever had. Their nerve
and their bonds have built railroads
all over the buffalo grass country.
They have settled on the Great Amer
lean Desert, and raised products that
have taken the first prize all over the
west. They have built fine towns and
magnificent schools. Robinson, Craw-
ford or Osborne were never Governors
Of as many people as live in the west
ern third of Kansas; Lane, Pomeroy,
or Ross never represented rs many in
the senate. The state university was
founded, the normal school opened,
the penitentiary settled, the deaf and
dumb and the insane asylum built,
every great state institution located
before Kansas had as many. inhabi-
tants as the western third has today.
How have these people been recog-
nized in the state? Have they ever
been given a state institution? Have
they ever received state officer? No.
Not thing. Most of their represent
atives do not even get vote in the
legislature. Most of their senators
and judges are selected for them by
counties in what is the central third of
Kansas, These people live from
t hree to six hundred miles from the
capital; yet if they send man there
he doesn't vote. If they ask for
state Office they are quietly informed
that they belong to southwestern Kan
sas and have been recognized by Sc
lecting some one they never heard of,
and who was never in their country
1t is about time for the politicians to
study the geography of Kansas and
learn that Sedgwick, Sumner, Pawnee
and Osborne counties are in central
and not in western Kansas. 1t is
about time for men who live from two
hundred to four hundred miles east of
the western border to quit posing as
western Kansans, and
give little room to men from Garden
City, Dodge City, Ness City, Norton,
Colty, Wa-keeney, Ashland, Meade
Center, Jetmore, and other bonafide
western Kansas towns. We are tired
